6 best phones you can’t buy in the US (2025), tested and viewed

Other good international phones

These phones are worth considering if you still don’t see something you want.

Xiaomi Little F7 for $ 366: The last edition from Ksiaomi brand Poco comes close to the place, combining Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor with a beautiful 6,83-inch amelide screen and a large battery of 6,800 mAh. There is no turn on the rest of Spect Lima, with Wi-Fi 7 support, IP68 grade and 256 GB UFS 4.1 Storage in the basic model. The main camera even has a 50-MP Sony IMX882 lens, although 8-MP UltraVide and 20-MP front-turn cameras are not great. I love a silver model, but also comes in white or black. I think the X7 Pro above, and now it falls in the price, it’s bigger negotiation, but F7 is a better phone and worth thinking if you don’t mind.

Oppo find n5 for $ 1,265: The real embarrassment that the invention of the N 5 is even landed in the UK or Europe, because it is most important in the world (3.6 millimeters) a beautiful phone. The display cover of the 6,62-inch and 8.12 inch internal screen are excellent, and the N5 finds top specifications, 5,600-mB battery, 80-Watt wireless charging and 50-watt wireless charging, and the 5,600 GB charging. Camera triple lenses (main The 50-MP, 50-MP telephoto, the most obvious compromise, the need of this form factor. Lightly Buggy software and the flashes are the only other Devrovori, but the potential pain of imports will be sufficient to postpone most people.

Xiaomi Poco F7 Ultra for € 569 and F7 Dec for £ 449: While Poco has traditionally been a budget brand, April was called F7 Ultra taken into a new territory. This phone has several functions at the level of leading levels, such as Snapdragon 8 elite chipset for graphics, a powerful triple lens camera and a beautiful, high resolution 6.67-inch screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. It also achieves an IP68 grade and offers up to 50-wat wireless charging. The catch is a hike price over the previous release of POCO F series, but in the price of early bird F7 Ultra is a convincing hit. The F7 Pro is more in accordance with what we expect from Brenda, with an older processor, a limited camera and without wireless charging. They both run Xiaomi hyper’s 2 and have too much Bluatic, but Xiaomi now promises four Android versions and 6 years of security patches.

Realme 14 Pro + for 530 €: The ending that changes in color can be gimicki, but it is fun, and this phone looks and feels much more expensive than you are. There are more high heights on the spec sheet. You get a triple lens, IP68 / 69 rating, and a 6,83-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, but the SnapDragon 7S Gen 3 Chipset is limited, no support for wireless charging and without charging in the box. It is still quite favorable and should land in UK soon.

Xiaomi 15 for £ 899: People looking for a more compact phone than Xiaomi 15 ultra could do much worse than smaller sisters. Xiaomi 15 feels wonderful, with a 6.36-inch screen, a decent triple lens camera and upper internal. But it is a conservative design, type of set and has the same software and throat problems as ultra.

Honored Magic 7 RSR for L.550 £: Designed with Porsche, this Supir version of 7 PROs has a great design with a six-room camera module, slightly improved telephoto lenses, 24 GB of RAM, 1 TB storage and higher batteries (5.850 mAh). It’s wonderful, but that doesn’t work enough to justify the extra cost.

Oppo find X8 Pro for £ 800: The last two opppo flagships did not officially arrive in the UK and Europe, so X8 Pro indicates the return of welcome. This is a polished phone with a four-lens camera (all 50 MP), but it feels like a decrease with Find Q7 Ultra, I used last year because of a smaller sensor. It is fast, with excellent battery life, fast wired and wireless charging, IP68 / 69 protection and not obvious omissions. But it is expensive and flags should not have a network. I’d rather wait x8 ultra.

Honor 200 Pro for £ 360: I don’t like design Honor 200 ProBut it has a versatile triple camera with the ability of portrait mode. There are also some useful AI functions, and battery life is good, with fast and wireless charging. It costs another 200 lounges on the launch, but in this new lower price it is a far more attractive option.

Xiaomi Mix Flip for 629 lbs: Xiaomi is the first flip phone surprisingly good, with two relatively lights and rooms for screens, solid endurance, fast filling and powerful performance. Shame is Xiaomi, has not forbid more functions specific to scenes. This does not help mixed the flip jumped in launch (£ 1,099), but at this reduced price is a decent vix for people craving with a folding flip phone.

Nubia Z70 Ultra for £ 649: A lot like last year Z60 UltraZ70 Ultra is a brick for full of excellent 6.8-inch screen, Snapdragon 8 Elite Chipset, a versatile triple lens and a battery of 6,150 mAh. Unfortunately, the camera is inconsistent and poor in video recording, and software is shoddy (with only three android versions of Android).

Xiaomi 14T Pro for 465 lbs: As a medium year monitoring to Xiaomi’s Flavers 14The 14T for is a little favorable and fell into price because I reviewed it. The basics are connected, with a large screen, good performance, a lot of endurance and solid cameras. But there is a Bluatic, Xiaoma software and a lack of wireless charging for combat combat.

OnePlus Nord 4 for £ 360: With a metal unifil, Nord 4 stands out and can also boast of excellent screen, enough power to process most people, impressive battery life and fast charging. The main camera is fine, and there is a great Aquatouch function that allows you to use the phone with wet hands. But there is no wireless charge, the ultra-mile camera is disappointing, and there is some Bluatwars.

Avoid these phones

These are not necessarily bad phones, but I think it would be better to serve something above.

Oppo Reno 13 Pro 5G for 620 lbs: This thin, light average value has a 6.8-inch screen, a three-time lens camera (solid main and telephoto lenses with a disappointing 8-MP ultravide) and an impressive IP69 grade. The life of the battery is good and wired filling is fast, but there is no wireless charging. It is packed with balloquet, but also ai characteristics and tools that cover transcription, summarizing, image editing and more that can add value for some people. Performance-wise, cannot be abrupt with similar POCO F7 ultra above. After a while with 13 PRO, I am not convinced that this is justifying such a large price list at last year’s 12 Pro (it costs extra £ 150) and you can better for this money.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 for $ 1,399: Only officially released in China, Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 is an elegant folding phone with a 6,56-inch external screen that is open to detect an internal screen of 7.98 inches. It also offers a solid performance and battery life, but despite a large quad-lenser module, the camera is underlined. CROSE is also expressed, and the use of the Chinese model is a bit of pain because various things are not translated and there is a job in getting the applications you want.

Realme GT7 Pro for $ 529: This potential killer has a 6,78 inch oil screen, Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip and a huge battery of 6,500 mAh. You also get a triple lens, but the main and telephoto lenses of 50 megapixels are lowered from 8 megapixels UltraVide. He also lacks wireless charging and you will need to import it in the UK, because it seems to be sold only in Germany.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro + for £ 309: Attractive, durable design (IP68), a camera sensor, and decent battery life with super fast filling (120-watts) must be balanced from medium-sized performance, poor ultravide (8 MP) and macro (2 MP) lenses and tons of batteries. In the end, there is a little improvement over last year’s Redmi Note 13 Pro +And it’s not just that there are better phones for the same money; There are better Xiaomi phones.

Xiaomi Poco F6 for £ 270: Real guessing when it was first released, Little F6 series It is still tempting with large screen, decent performance and a fairly capable camera, but there is in Bloatvare, Shoddi software and limited long-term support. F6 is a better value than pro.

Motorola Ivica 50 Pro for £ 285: May fall in price, but Motorola Edge 50 Pro (7/10, Vired Review) Only a few rewards of Android should start. While the design is compact and there is a wonderful display, I found it lacking processing power, with sometimes disputed camera performance and there are better options above.

Nubia Flip 5G for £ 346: I had fun fun Nubia Flip 5g (6/10, Vired review)And that was the cheapest flip folding available for a while. The circular cover is sweet, but it can’t do much. The performance was the average year ago, and the unpleasant software policy and updates are the main strikes against her.
