The Galaxy Watch 5 is a well-priced Android smartwatch option that works best with Samsung phones but loses blood pressure and ECG features on other Android phones. It’s a solid option but there’s little market competition, and the digital bezel and battery life disappoint.

Competitively priced, Comfortable design, Solid activity tracking, Tons of features

Erratic battery life, Non-Samsung phones lose features, Awkward digital bezel, Very similar to Watch 4

It’s the best Android smartwatch you can get... for now

Not quite as locked in to Samsung’s ecosystem, Better accessibility features, Slim, lightweight design, Improved durability

Battery still ain’t great, Temperature sensor doesn’t do much yet, Upgrades are incredibly minor, Finicky touch bezel

We’ve had a Samsung review blitz over the past two weeks, covering all the products the company announced at its recent Unpacked event. In my write-up of the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro , I noted how understated the product line was, in contrast to its flash, bombastic foldables .

The Galaxy Watch 5 is an incredible wearable when weighed up against its competitors. However, as a successor to the Galaxy Watch 4, it’s a huge letdown. The upgrades are few and far between, and there certainly isn’t enough on offer here to warrant trading in last year’s model.

The best example of Wear OS 3, New and improved sleep tracking, Solid battery life for a Wear OS device, Accurate HRM results, You want the absolute best Wear OS 3 watch: The competition is sparse and with the excellent foundations of its predecessor, the Galaxy Watch 5 manages to be the best Wear...

Barely any different to the Galaxy Watch 4, Temperature sensor is an afterthought, The workout selection needs improving, You already have the Galaxy Watch 4: While the Galaxy Watch 5 is a great wearable in its own right, it’s barely an upgrade over its predecessor.

“The Galaxy Watch 5 is far from an exciting upgrade over the Watch 4. But if you're getting your first Wear OS smartwatch or upgrading from an older model, it's one of the best available in 2022.”

Lightweight, comfortable design, Robust health tracking, AMOLED screen looks excellent, Easy access to Google apps, Very fast charging speeds

Skin temperature tracking not yet available, Falls short of battery life claims

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

More like an iPhone 13S. The generational upgrades for the iPhone 14 are limited to a few subtle changes. At the same time, however, the base price climbs to 800 USD, while the only true innovation happens inside the iPhone 14 Pro series.

excellent OLED display, dust- and waterproof, fast Wi-Fi, wide range of supported frequencies, great camera, very fast performance, good battery life

display limited to 60 Hz, charging rate limited to 20 watts, no macro lens, wide notch

Hannah Stryker / Review Geek The iPhone 14 is the latest iteration of Apple’s flagship device. Since its launch, the iPhone has set the standard of what a smartphone is, what it does, and how it looks. Fifteen years later, it’s still doing that.

Top-notch cameras, Amazing display, Snappy performance, Great battery life

It's just "this year's iPhone"
