#top #smartphones #tested #missed #April

After MWC 2024, the smartphone market gained new momentum with the release of attractive models. The Frandroid editorial team, as usual, tried several references. Here are the three smartphones we tested this month that deserve your attention.

The start of 2024 has been eventful in terms of smartphone releases. The famous MWC show allowed certain manufacturers to unveil their models for European markets. A new slew of phones have appeared in France and the editorial staff of Frandroid was able to test. If it is not about best smartphones of 2024, you have some very interesting references. For this April batch, we decided to choose the Xiaomi 14, the Nothing Phone 2a and the Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro. A high-end device, excellent value for money and a smartphone designed for gaming.

8 /10

• The quality of handling

• Its daily power

• A fun photo experience

• 4 versions of Android only

The new range from Xiaomi once again aims to stand up to Apple and Samsung. With the Xiaomi 14, the Chinese brand delivers a high-end smartphone complete and up to expectations. This starts with the handling which we particularly appreciated, thanks to a reduced design and high quality finishes. Generally speaking, it is the entire user experience on the phone that is to be praised, whether it is its touch screen or even the internal power provided by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. Frandroid, we especially appreciated the photo part of the Xiaomi 14 which offers great performance whatever the situations imposed on you. In our opinion, this is one of the best smartphones for photography in 2024. With a starting price of 990 euros, the phone confirms its status as a high-end product, even if we regret the 4 short years of guaranteed Android updates. The Xiaomi 14 review is available on Frandroid to learn more.

8 /10

• Always attractive design

• Complete customizations

• Ses performances

The Nothing brand is still fresh on the manufacturers’ market, but its desire to shake things up on Android remains intact. With this Phone 2a, the company is targeting an audience looking for the best quality/price ratio. To do this, the smartphone retains the attractive design of Nothing devices at the cost of the quality of the materials. We especially noticed its beautiful 6.7-inch Amoled screen which in use offers a very wide range of colors and one of the best experiences at this price. Among the good points of our test, the software part of the Nothing smartphone is also worth remembering thanks to a wide range of customizations. Finally, in the power aspect, the model is difficult to fault, even if we would have liked the standby time to be a little less energy-intensive. For a smartphone for less than 400 eurosthe Nothing Phone 2a remains one of the best references we have tested.

• A fluid screen

• Performant en gaming

• Le design

• Poor photo quality

If Xiaomi is so successful, the brand also owes it to its vast and complete catalog. With the Poco X6 Pro, the Chinese firm delivers un smartphone gaming accessible. To succeed, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor is installed in this model. The high-end chip never failed during our test, whether on Genshin Impact or Fortnite. In order to confirm its good gaming capabilities, we also put the touch screen to the test, which offers pleasant brightness as well as good responsiveness. In terms of design, we like the yellow vegan leather version which gives the phone a real personality. On the other hand, photo quality is clearly not the smartphone’s strong point. The photos are just acceptable and you will have no difficulty finding models that manage to do better than the Poco X6 Pro. On the other hand, those looking for a great phone for gaming can check out our review of the Xiaomi Poco X6 Pro.
