Leagoo Elite 1 review: Great-value budget phone at £130

Leagoo Elite 1 review: Great-value budget phone at £130 Expert’s Rating Our Verdict You’ll get more value for money from a budget phone if you buy from China than within the UK, and the Leagoo Elite 1 is a great example of this with a nice design, good performance, ample storage, a full-HD screen, network-unlocked dual-SIM functionality and a fingerprint scanner. It’s not flawless, for example battery life is disappointing, but it could be a great buy....

Phone cameras comparison: landscape

Phone cameras comparison: landscape Phone cameras comparison: landscape Overall, the iPhone does a good job of landscape photos. There’s no noise and detail levels are pretty good: a little soft, but not over-sharpened. Colours are neutral. Phone cameras comparison: landscape This is a 100 percent crop of the previous photo so you can see the detail and sharpness from a section of the original photo. Phone cameras comparison: landscape The 6P shows good dynamic range and although a little underexposed, this is easily corrected either using an app on the phone or in Photoshop....

Phone cameras comparison: low light

Phone cameras comparison: low light Phone cameras comparison: low light It’s a good effort from the iPhone here, but it’s worth pointing out that other phones are noticeably better in low light.

Phone cameras comparison: outdoor portrait

Phone cameras comparison: outdoor portrait Phone cameras comparison: outdoor portrait We’ve said it before, but the iPhone excels at outdoor portraits. It’s not the best phone camera out there – details are a little soft and things start to look weird if you use the HDR mode – but in this shot (with HDR disabled) exposure is very good and colour balance is excellent. Phone cameras comparison: outdoor portrait The Nexus 6P tended to underexpose photos in our test, but although we must present the original image here for comparison purposes, it’s very easy to fix this in a photo editor....

Phone cameras comparison: selfies

Phone cameras comparison: selfies Phone cameras comparison: selfies Even with its upgrade to a 5Mp iSight camera, the iPhone is not the best phone for selfies. It doesn’t have a particuarly wide-angle lens and details are surprisingly soft. Phone cameras comparison: selfies With good colour and detail, only the slight underexposure counts against the Nexus 6P’s selfie photo. The field of view is wider than the iPhone’s and the image is also sharper....
