- The Spurty Awards for the best smartphones of 2024 are back, rewarding the top phones for camera tech, gaming abilities, value for money etc so far. Here's my favourite UK mobiles including the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, Xiaomi 14 Ultra, Honor Magic 6 Pro and Huawei Pura 70 Ultra. Plus more budget friendly smartphones, if you're not absolutely minted.
I've reviewed all of these phones here on Tech Spurt, so check out those videos for a more in-depth experience.
We kick off with the best phones for those on a budget, including the greatest mid-range devices in 2024. The likes of Google's Pixel 8a, the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G, Nothing Phone 2a, Poco F6 & F6 Pro and Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus have all impressed so far this year, offering stunning value for money.
A tough one to judge, as is the award for best camera smartphone. Xiaomi, Honor, OnePlus, Huawei and Samsung have all spaffed out some excellent mobile shooters in 2024, for top quality pics, family snaps etc.
We also reveal the best gaming phone, foldable and 'compact' devices of the year so far. According to some bald Northern git. Let us know your own favourites down below!

Ah yes, the best use of that ASUS ROG Phone 8 rear display 😂
Nay, the ONLY use 😁
Boris Johnson's johnson (?)
@@bedoinuk Peepee😆
Absolutely!
my only dream is to one day see a video on nothing hq and see a framed picture of their super official certificate from you in the background as an easter egg moment.
Where do you get the wallpapers that you uses?
brilliant video mate, I haven't laughed that much during a tech video in a long time.
Really love the review. Before seeing it today I had just ordered the Xiaomi 14 Ultra with Camera kit. Can't wait to start using it
Chris you are brilliant! I'm laughing like a drain! Loved the home-made certificates, superb. Well done mate, you must be exhausted making all these vids. Every phone I buy is because of you. Thanks man. BTW I love Macro Lens's on my phones, use them all the time, mostly for seeing tics on my kids, don't be too hard on them dude! All the best Chris - YOU ROCK!
Excellent work mate. Cheers.
dude, you absolutely make my day. Sending love from Kenya, Africa😁😁
One of the best British thing I've watched so far, resembling much of that insanely funny Diana Morgan. I found that the bloody curses and elaborated trash talking are deeply insulting but rather refreshing and pleasing to my ears at the same time. What kind of sorcery is this? and do you somehow related to her ? hahaha
The Porsche magic V2 is about as useful as a comb for uncle spurt
A Fine round up good Uncle Spurt! Didn't you do a guide to chipsets a little while ago? It would be handy to know what the league table of current types is. 👍🥃🥃
Ta! I covered the new SD 8 Gen 3 and Dimensity 9300 when they launched last year but haven't done a chipset head-to-head, unless I did and I just forgot 😅
@@TechSpurt Cheers! A lot of it's gobbledygook, (stop giggling at the back!) but it does give you an idea as to whether that newly released phone is really just a warmed over version of last year's or not and how long it will be supported. 👍
Thanks uncle spurt for validating my complete splurge on self indulgence on purchasing the 14 ultra. TSW not the reason I bought it, but being a fan of both nice to have you validate my impulse purchase considering my last flagship was the galaxy s9!!!
Im seeing 'no views' here. The video is 1 minute old, why does it not have 100k views wich it deserves already ! 😅❤
Haha, if only!
Bloody love youe content❤❤❤
Can u give a link so i can get the pura 70 ultra please i can’t find it. I’m in the UK.
Just picked up a OnePlus 10t ❤❤ thanks for your reviews u were spot on !
hey can you maybe review the xiaomi redmi buds 5 because im gonna get and it looks good with transparent and anc below 50 dollars
thx for the video! entertaining and informative as always.
Ta for watching!
@@TechSpurt u r welcome uncle spurt!! Got the nothing phone 1 because of u, one of the best decisions i ever made!
"Boris Johnson's Johnson. It's inside something different everyday" 😂😂😂
I love your videos mate, but the category 'best bang for a bug' is clearly missing. Would like to know your opinion on that.
Yeah was surprised to see that, or not see.
I love the thumbnail :D
Where do you get your wallpapers from tech spurt?😊
Where do you get wallpapers?
They're bright and beautiful..
Can your reccomed a phone with a 7inch screen currently have the Vivo X Note but having issues with notifications and completely destoyed the screen, no foldable.
Still waiting to see your opinion on Sony 10 VI before I decide to go ahead and just buy damn Pixel 8a as you often mention it in your "Best of" videos... Cheers and tnx for always fun and relatable reviews! 😁
Why not go for an old flagship?
Where do you get the wallpapers that you uses?
Got some decent music going Chris 👌🏽
Any chance of a review of the Meizu 21 Pro?
Nr 1 😄🍻 long live u spurt
Mr.Spurt when is the Xiaomi 14 Civi 2 review coming out!!
Where do you read manga? Amazing video, as always.
This guy is hilarious 🤣. Subscribed.
I actually bought Xiaomi 14 Ultra because of you :), and thank you for that!
Good choice!
So you would recommend it? What's the camera ect like?
@@wesleyallin5487 oh yes, even me that do not know how to take good photo, likes quite stuning when you take it 😂
How is it so far?
@@smitjee To be honest, it is very compact, regarding design and size of phone compared to S24 ultra for example, it fits perfectly. Performance is insane (for gaming as well which I am not fan of), display is very bright and HyperOS offers a lot of features and it is very fluent and responsive (won't talk about camera that is insane). To add, I've used 11 Ultra as well.. and I can tell they speed up software updates by 5 times to be honest, nearly similar to Samsung phones.. which is very nice :). Hope it helps.
Nothing on the Sony Xperia 1 Mark 6?
Are you going do a review of Xperia 1 vi
where on hell does he find these jokes lmao
from chadgpt
What makes them a joke?.
What I wanna know is where you get all the anime background pictures from
Just ordered a Xiaomi 14 12GB/512GB to replace my iPhone 15 Pro. It may seem a little odd to some however I’ve been waiting for a compact flagship that isn’t a compromised spec. The S24 would have been a good choice however I do not want another exynos.
iPhone 15 Pro has issues with overheating, the Ceramic Shield marks super easy and iOS is very buggy. Also, the fact you cannot even change the vibrancy of the display is very frustrating. Also the major lens flare issues ruin most shots 💀
Props off to Xiaomi, let’s hope I don’t have the lens fogging issue
test it for foggy thing, tell us what you got pls :D
10:56 😂😂😂😂😢😂😂
12GB???
@@thatchinaboi1 12GB of RAM 🌚
Doesn’t the S24 have a snapdragon chip?
The jokes on this vid 😂😂
And MKBHD catching strays lol
How do you buy from amazon India? Everything just says "cannot ship to UK".
Did you try red magic 9+ ultra?
what is the best small or mini phone for you....android or ios?
Althought i have not subscribed to your channel but i am watching your videos since 2018
Which one would you choose between Xiaomi 14 or Samsung s24
Tecno camon 30 premier its the best on the mid range phones section. Take a look at that one.
Always wanted the 14 ultra, but sadly, it's not available here so i had to go for the s24ultra.
Is anyone having mobile data speed issues in s24ultra?
When is the Xiaomi 14 Civi review coming?
Do u think xiaomi 14 is better than o+ 12?
Why is it that Huawei 70 pura doesnt work in UK?
You are the most unbias, real tech reviewer. You dont base on brands name, but on actual specs and user experience.
Most of the mainstream tech reviewers are just all the same saying the same phone.
Keep it up Tech Spurt 😎
hey tech spurt I’m looking for a cheap and reliable phone.. can u help me find one?
Opinions on OnePlus 12R???
I am a bit obsessed with using Motioncam to shoot 4K DNG RAW videos on my Xiaomi 14 Ultra. The quality is amazing and unbelievable for a smartphone.
I prefer my beloved OnePlus 12 but I do love your wonderful sense of humor and your accent, which is truly the main reason I watch your videos. 👍
Glad that you didn't just say the plain boring S24 Ultra or iPhone 15 pro max. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is indeed one of the best phones out there and only perhaps a bit weak in the battery life area. Great video nevertheless!
Redmi note 13 pro+ vs poco f6 which one is better? Is the camera on note 13 pro+ that much better then the poco f6? Or it is just slightly better? I don't really game that much, i want a phone that is more balanced between camera and gaming.
Which mobile is that at 11:28?
I love how you just flat insult Christmas carolers. 😂
Can you do best phones still to come in 2024?
Please share that nothing phone 2a wallpaper please
what about Realme GT 5 Pro?
During my (unintended) prolonged stay in the UK in part due to Covid grounding, I watched a lot of Chris and Tech Spurt. When I unfortunately realized my Asus phone was fried due to a scheduled update download. Without Tech Spurt I think finding a phone would have been a challenge as so many choices are not supported "globally" in Canada. At that time I chose the Oppo find X3 Neo. Now in 2024 it's no longer supported, yet it's every bit the phone I purchased and value for the camera. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another or any phone which is not supported globally now I am aware that I can do update/downloads with VPN. For "humour" and technical expertise and insight Tech Spurt is still my go to tech adviser.👍👍👍
As an afterthought! Chris also introduced me to the Niagara Launcher! I've never looked back since I installed it on my new phone, wouldn't be without it and it surpasses any manufacturer interface on any phone I explore!.
The red magic 9 pro is the best gaming phone ive ever owned while the s23 ultra is the best phone in general I've ever used. The honor magic v2 Porsche edition rsr is incredible in design and I hope the z fold 6 variations deliver
Thanks again Spurticus Maximus! Excellent reviews and shenanigans!
Please help me I want to buy iqoo device i will go to Russia for 6 yrs but problem is in Russia there is no iqoo/ Vivo so what to do ?????
How many phones do u have
And Could i plz get a phone for mobile gaming ❤❤
No fair the Nubia z60 ultra doesn't get considered. 😢
Needs a revisit after the updates, it's awesome!
Wts ur opinion abt motorola edge 50 ultra and realme gt 6
Realme I haven't touched sadly, I don't hear from those guys any more for whatever reason. The Edge 50 Ultra has a few wee issues which need sorting, review is live now
Why is Pixel 8a not included in the "Compact Phone" Section ?
0:21 Made me wheeze lol. Sometimes your jokes don't always land but this one was gold!
Thanks for the video, valuable beer money 😂😂😂
Wait!!! 2:21 are those "Well Done" really coming from what i think it is?? Is it not, am i wrong??
Love you too Uncle Spurt
REDMAGIC 9 Pro?
7:15 may i know why you chose rog 8 rather than redmagic 9 pro?
rog isn't made for gaming anymore ..
How good is the nothing phone 2a?
It is solid
POCO F6 VS IQOO Z9 TURBO ?
As a techie getting older and eyesight breaking, screen quality and value are my two number ones. Just got a Poco F6 pro and it's fantastic. 2k screen makes a huge difference and UK price was just over £300 with trade in junk phone. Can't get better for the price. Surprised 'display' isn't on the list.
Also bought an F6 which feels cheap by comparison and
my old F3 screen seems better.
Vivo Fold 3 and Fold 3 pro deserves your attention with the foldables. I handled the honor but the interface feels like Huawei from 5 years ago.
for fold vivo xfold3 pro is probably the correct option
Nothing and Motorola are carrying the budget segment on their backs 👑👑
Can't wait for the Nothing 3a if they follow the same formula as the 2a. Motorola making some weird chipset choices lately.
xiaomi and nothing
Motorola support and updating speed 👎
Xiaomi has been carrying ever since they popped into existence.
Cheers!
Hey Chris 😀 How come you don't seem to review Realme phones, and any chance you could please? The Realme 12Pro + looks really great for the price ! Love the channel dude !
Hey, thanks for watching! I simply don't hear from Realme anymore, must be something I said!
@@TechSpurt Their loss. Sod 'em then. 😁 Yep top draw reviews and fab delivery Chris. Keep doing what you do please. It must be quite a task but really appreciated by all I'm sure
Hi spud, been looking for a new phone for a while but nothing ticks all my boxes
-On a £300 budget (can stretch it a little if necessary) I'm just looking for something with
- a good display,
- good performance,
- fast charging (preferably 65W+ but I'm not ruling out samsungs)
- solid cameras (not flagship, but no noticeable issues and I don't care about portrait mode or selfies - I'd like good main and ultrawide cams, telephoto would be a bonus)
- not a HyperOS phone (basically rules out 75% of my options, which is my problem)
I wish we had access to all the Chinese phones in the UK, would actually give me some options
Only Realme 12 pro has telephoto lense at this price range.
Got the honor magic v2 amazing phone..
Few support for digital sim.
Mate, where is Xperia 1 VI review?
Eerily quiet.
The best camera goes to Vivo X100 Ultra
NO, the main camera it is better on the Pura 70 ultra, telefoto it is a little better on X100 Ultra
I heard that the camera system on the Pura is laggy tho...@@bogdan576
Do u want to return these back or keep with u, iam jealous , ima going break in and pick up couple of smart bricks, do u mind
Maybe you could ask for a tech spurt sponsored phone with a bald head texture back cover that smells of beer 😂
What about Honor Magic 6 Pro ?
Is better than Xiaomi 14 ultra though in any aspect.
Exactly
I agree, but dicey if you're outside😢 China. I hoped you would say, "Best Camera... the Xiaomi 14 Ultra but it has depth of field issues though the camera has excellent image quality! However, it is not tough! That "Xiaomi Shield Glass" scratches really easily! I have NEVER had a scratch on any display till date and I have never used a screen guard! I'm a photographer and you know we know how to look after fragile glass coatings so it isn't MY fault. The thumb scroll area is toast and it's not even 2 months old. (Btw, it's £1000 here but the camera kit isn't available)
How is your battery life? Does yours overheat?
Vivo V30 is really available here in India. Below 350 USD.
Sir phone wallpaper app name
I wonder when Google are going to stop huffing about Huawei
Google never huffed nothing, it was the politics and lawsuits...guess only these guys can lift the ban?
Whenever the US of A lets them.
When USA colonial empire collapses
it's not Google's fault, it's cus of freedomland america
By end of this year Google will be fully operational thru 3rd party app micro g
Hey Spurty. Where's the video section 🤦♀️? I got it that you're rushing off to drinks, but do make it right! Which is the best video phone?
Yay ! We made it !
Here's to hoping these brands actually print out the certificates and have them on display
I thought the Honor 200 pro might get at least a mention.... no?
Man he is never running out of new words😂
You should do a list of the best smartphones of 2024 with no bloatware 🤔📱
