Apple iPhone 16 Plus
It’s an occasion for celebration every time Apple launches a new iteration of its vaunted iPhone, and the launch of the latest version – the iPhone 16 – this year was no exception.
Geeks, fashionistas, influencers and the influenced alike were all abuzz and salivating in anticipation in autumn as Apple unveiled the iPhone 16, and while the gadget was an evolution rather than a revolution, we would still highly recommend you try it.
The iPhone 16 Plus received five stars in our review mainly for its excellent camera and the innovative “Camera Control” button that at once made it simpler, faster and more intuitive to use the camera. And with the best battery life yet of any iPhone, this Plus version, in our estimation, obviates the need to spend the extra moolah on a Pro.
With its customary finish and looks, the iPhone 16 Plus remains the mobile phone to be seen with, and now comes with the added benefit of the best camera in a Plus, along with other user-friendly features to make it perhaps the best iPhone yet that will tug at the loyalty of even the staunchest Android champions.
Why buy it: Great camera and controls, battery life, cost
Price: Dh3,799
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6
Serious techies know that when it comes to getting real work out of a mobile phone rather than just flaunting it as a fashion or status statement, Android still has the edge. But what if you could combine these two aspects — merge the professional with the aspirational? With the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Samsung did precisely that this year.
The company’s much coveted folding phone received both a design update and an enhancement in its features and functions in its latest avatar this year, making a sleek product even sleeker and now loaded with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.
