The alternatives: Other mid-price monsters

There's no shortage of sensibly priced smartphone competition... but the Pixel 7a's closest rivals come from Samsung and Apple
The alternatives: Other mid-price monsters

Samsung Galaxy A54 from £449/ go.stuff.tv/A54

What's the story?

With similar styling, a virtually identical Ul and some capable cameras, the A54 is purpose-built to appeal to Galaxy S23 fans who can't stomach paying flagship money for a phone. Last year's A53 was hampered by underpowered internals, but this latest generation puts that right.

Is it any good?

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess - It's really not what you expect from a major publisher these days, but Capcom's curious blend of action, real-time strategy and tower defence is one of the most original games you'll play all year

It's really not what you expect from a major publisher these days, but Capcom's curious blend of action, real-time strategy and tower defence is one of the most original games you'll play all year.From its colourful costumes to a pastoral message of healing nature, Kunitsu-Gami is proudly Japanese in its inspirations. Your masked warrior is on a mission to help a divine maiden purge a mountain of an evil 'defilement'... but this is no Link/Zelda dynamic: you'll also rely on villagers to help you beat back monsters.

Scott Contessa Voltage eRide 910

This is an electric trail bike designed with women in mind – not that you’d know that just by looking at it, because thankfully Scott hasn’t adopted the insulting ‘shrink it and pink it’ approach that many brands take.
