Fast Charge ep. 37: iPhone 12, OnePlus 8T & the best budget flagship

The iPhone 12 is here, but it’s not alone. Not only are there four new iPhones, but the OnePlus 8T launched the day after, and after reviewing it we’re ready to set it head-to-head with the latest from Google and Samsung to see who comes out on top.

TheiPhone 12launched on Tuesday, joined by the 12 mini, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max, withpre-orders for some modelsstarting this Friday. All pack 5G support, OLED screens, and new designs, but is that enough to keep them competitive?

After all, they’ll be up against theOnePlus 8T, which takes the brilliant 8 and throws in a 120Hz display and 65W charging speeds. Wegave the 8T four-and-a-half stars in our review, and Dom will explain why live on the show.

There’s more competition than that though. Toddy hasreviewed the Pixel 5, and Lewis tested theSamsung Galaxy S20 FEthis week too, so we’re putting the three similarly priced phones head-to-head to decide the best budget flagship this year.
