HUAWEI MATE 20 PRO Leica makes outstanding cameras and this brand-spanking new phone from Chinese brand Huawei has three of them on the back. One even has a remarkable 40-megapixel resolution. Te cameras can work together intelligently to deliver the strongest images and artificial intelligence can spot what you’re shooting and adjust accordingly. For instance, it can tell cats from dogs
and emphasise their eyes or their fluffy fur respectively. It similarly shoots differently according to whether your subject is a landscape or a plate of food. Tere’s also a 24-megapixel selfie camera, if you must. Apple’s latest iPhone XS cameras give the Huawei a run for its money, but this is brilliant for photography. It also has two amazing features: the
fingerprint sensor is embedded under the display, so you press the screen. Tis feature works well. Coolest of all, it has wireless charging that allows it to both receive and give a charge. Press the Mate 20 Pro against another compatible phone and it’ll charge the other handset! Business users will like that this is a solid powerhouse in a slim case. Tis is easily Huawei’s classiest phone yet. £899,

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE9 Te latest from Samsung has a screen almost as big as the iPhone’s (6.4in), ideal if you take a lot of notes. Tanks to the slim S-Pen that springs out of the phone’s base, you can write on the screen even on standby. Tere is a button that works as a wireless trigger for the camera and which also wirelessly moves your presentation to the next slide. Te Note9 has two highly capable cameras, especially in low light, thanks to large sensors and advanced soſtware. Te battery life is excellent, easily enough for a full day. And if you need a lot of storage, the Note9 is unbeatable: with the larger-capacity model and a suitable memory card, you can store 1TB. Unlike most of the phones here, the Note9 has a 3.5mm headphone jack so you can use whatever headphones you like. (Te other phones with this kind of connector are the OnePlus 6, Motorola One and BlackBerry KEY2.) £849,

MOTOROLA ONE A quick glance and you could be forgiven for thinking you’re looking at the iPhone XS; this Motorola handset offers strong design at a keen price. Te screen resolution is noticeably lower than others here, mind. Still, it boasts twin rear cameras, sculpted glass 5.9in display, dual-sim capabilities and decent storage capacity (64GB), all unusual at this price. Te dual sim capability is handy for business travellers: pick up a local sim on arrival overseas. It comes with a fast-charge plug, promising six hours of use aſter a 20-minute charge. A plain Android set-up means soſtware updates will be prompt and it has some Motorola extras: a double twist launches the camera, while a double shake turns on the torch. Te Moto logo on the rear houses the fingerprint sensor and Motorola even includes a transparent phone case that guides you to find the sensor without looking. £269,

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AI is a feature on almost all these smartphones and uses “machine learning” to recognise stuff, including your habits. So, it can populate lists of apps according to how you routinely use them, as on the Sony Xperia XZ3. Or it can spot what’s in a photo to adjust exposures accordingly. This means, for instance, if you type the word “dog” into the search box in the iPhone Photos app, it will scour your images and find all canine pics. AI will be increasingly useful: if you use your phone more in the evening, it will conserve battery early in the day, so you have juice left by the end. And if this makes you sound too predictable, well, probably you are. But again, you’re not alone!
