BELKIN BOOSTCHARGE PRO 3-IN-1 WIRELESS CHARGER WITH MAGSAFE
NOKIA 8.3 5G
£499, hmdglobal.com
Which phone would James Bond use? If you answered ‘a SPY- Phone’, well done, have a sticker; the answer isn’t actually the Nokia 8.3 5G, though we’re told debuting 00-agent Nomi will sport one in the upcoming No Time to Die. If you fancy yourself some spy-grade handset action, this is very reasonably priced and it’s a phone with big-screen looks: it’s huge, with a 6.8-inch display, and the Polar Night paint job really is something special. Camera-wise it sports a quad-sensor array (though one of the four is actually a 2MP depth sensor), and inside you’ll find £140, belkin.com
Was the iPhone 12’s most headlinegrabbing feature its camera or processor? Was it its new metaledged case design? Or was it – and you’ll need to bear with us here – the reinvention of MagSafe? Apple’s updated wireless charging tech can throw as much as 15W of power at the back of your phone for some speedy cable-free juicing, but given that it only works its best when it’s properly magnet-aligned, and given that Apple no longer includes a charger in the box, you’ll need the right hardware to make the most of a very solid Snapdragon 765G processor, more than enough RAM to play with and 128GB of storage, all of which powers a bloat-free Android One operating system. Oh, and there’s 5G, for a high-speed connection to MI5.
T3 SAYS: Almost as exciting a prospect as the next Bond movie.
TECH-O-METER
COOLNESS INNOVATION FEATURES it. So here’s a three-in-one stand that aligns the iPhone for full-powered charging in either portrait or landscape orientations, as well as including space for your Apple Watch and AirPods to pick up some watts at the same time. Neat.
T3 SAYS:
Holds the 12 neatly aloft.
