STK X2

It may not be the most well-known brand, but STK has released its new X2 smartphone – and it could easily compete with the likes of the iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy S9.

Described by the firm as a ‘OnePlus for non-techies’, the X2 is an affordable Android handset with many of the same features as toptier devices. It features a 5.7-inch HD display, with a duallens camera and handy fingerprint scanner on the back.

It also has a sleek, ultra-thin design that sits comfortably in your hand.

This is one of the best low-to-mid tier smartphones I’ve tested, and could be a great option for those who don’t fancy splashing out on the big brands. It’s simply fantastic value for money.
