6 The best phones that you cannot buy in the United States (2025), tested and reviewed

Other good international phones

These phones deserve to be considered if you don’t see something you want.

Xiaomi Little F7 for $ 366: The latest version of the Xiaomi’s Poco is approaching the place above, combining the Snapdragon 8S Gen 4 processor with the 6.83 -inch AMOLED screen and a large 6500 mAh battery. There is no stirring on the rest of the specifications paper, with Wi-Fi 7 support, IP68 classification, and 256 GB UFS 4.1 storage in the basic model. The main camera even has a Sony IMX882 lens with an area of ​​50 megapixels, although Ultrawide 8-MP and 20 megapixel cameras are not great. I love the silver model, but it also comes in white or black. I think X7 Pro above, which is now declining in the price, is a larger deal, but the F7 is a better phone and deserves to think if you do not mind spending more.

Oppo Find N5 for $ 1,265It is a real shameful matter that Find N5 will not land even in the United Kingdom or Europe, because the thinnest of the books in the world (3.6 mm open) is a beautiful phone. The 6.62 -inch cover screen and the interior screen is 8.12 inches excellent, and Find N5 has higher specifications along the road (Snapdragon 8 Elite, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB storage, 5600 MB battery, wire charging 80 watt and 50 watts). The triple lens camera (50 megapixels, 50 MB, TV, and 8 MP) is the most obvious medium solution, and the need for this factor. Budgy and Bloatware is a little bit of other critics, but the possible pain of import will be enough to stop most people.

Xiaomi Poco F7 Ultra for 569 pounds and F7 Pro for 449 pounds sterlingWhile Poco was traditionally a budget brand, the F7 Ultra takes it to a new area. This phone features some leading features on the pioneering level, such as the Snapdragon 8 ChipSet collection with VisionBoost D7 for graphics, a powerful three -lens camera, a beautiful 6.67 -inch screen with a 120 Hz update rate. It also records the IP68 classification and provides wireless charging up to 50 watts. Fishing is the high prices on previous POCO F versions, but at the early bird price, F7 ULTRA is a convincing deal. F7 Pro is in line with the brand we expect, with an older processor, limited camera, and no wireless charging. Both run Xiaomi’s Hyperos 2 and have many huge programs, but Xiaomi is now four Android versions and 6 years of safety corrections.

Realme 14 Pro+ for 530 eurosThe variable end of colors may be paid, but it is fun, and this phone looks and feels more expensive than it is. There are the highest levels of its lowest levels on the specifications sheet. You can get a three -lens camera, IP68/69 classification, 6000 mAh battery, 6.83 -inch OLED screen with 120 Hz updates, but Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 group is limited, and there is no wireless charging, and there is no charger in the box. It is still a deal completely and must land in the United Kingdom soon.

Xiaomi 15 for 899 pounds sterlingPeople looking for a more tight phone than Xiaomi 15 Ultra can do much worse than his younger brother. Xiaomi 15 looks beautiful, with a 6.36 -inch screen, a decent triple camera, and a first -class interior. It is a conservative design and a kind of price and has the same code and luxury problems as Ultra.

Honor Magic 7 RSR for 1550 pounds sterlingThis Porsche version of 7 Pro Above is designed by a jam with a hexagonal camera unit, a slightly improved television lens, a random access memory 24 GB (it is likely to be significantly meaningless), 1 TB of storage, and a larger battery (5,850 mAh per hour). It is beautiful, but it does not do enough to justify the additional expenses.

Oppo Find X8 Pro for 800 pounds: The last two OPPO pioneers have not officially reached the United Kingdom and Europe, so the X8 Pro represents a welcome return. This is a polished phone with a quad -lens camera (all 50 megapixels), but it looks like a discount from the Find X7 Ultra that you used last year due to the smaller sensor. It is fast, with excellent battery life, fast wireless and wire charging, IP68/69 protection, and there is no clear neglect. But it is expensive, and the leading pioneers should not have. Best waiting X8 Ultra.

Honor 200 Pro for 360 pounds sterlingI don’t like Honor 200 Pro design, but it has a three -lens multi -use camera with a capable image. There are also some useful artificial intelligence features, the battery life is good, with a fast wire and wireless charging. It costs 200 pounds at all, but at a lower new price, it is a more attractive option.

Xiaomi Mix Flip for 629 pounds sterlingXiaomi First Flip is amazingly good, with relatively bright and spacious screens, solid durability, fast charging, and fast performance. It is a shame that Xiaomi did not make more features of the screen. This does not help in the Mix Flip is very expensive at launch (1099 pounds), but at this reduced price, it is a decent trend for people who are eager to a foldable phone.

Nubia Z70 Ultra for 649 pounds sterlingLike Z60 Ultra last year, Z70 Ultra is a valuable block with an excellent 6.8 -inch screen, Snapdragon 8 slices, a multi -use three -use camera, and a 6,150 mAh battery. Unfortunately, the camera is inconsistent with video recording, and the program is bad (with three Android versions only).

Xiaomi 14t Pro for 465 pounds sterling: Since the mid -year follow -up to the pioneer Xiaomi 14, 14t Pro is a little deal and has decreased in the price since it reviewed it. The basics were bent, with a large screen, good performance, a lot of endurance, and a solid camera. But there are BLOATWARE programs, Xiaomi software, and no wireless charging to confront it.

OnePlus Nord 4 for 310 pounds: Through a monochrome body, Nord 4 highlights and also features an excellent screen, adequate treatment force for most people, impressive battery life, fast charging. The main camera is fine, and there is an elegant dark feature that allows you to use the phone with wet hands. But there is no wireless charging, the Ultrawide camera is disappointing, and there are some huge programs.

Avoid these phones

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

Oppo Reno 13 Pro 5G for 620 pounds: This slim and lightweight thinner is characterized by a 6.8-inch screen (limited brightness), a three-lens camera (solid lenses consisting of 50 megapixels and phone shows with a disappointing Ultrawide 8-MP), and an impressive IP69 classification. Battery life is good, wire charging is fast, but there is no wireless charging. It is full of huge programs, but also AI’s features and tools that cover copies, summary, editing pictures and more that may add value to some people. In terms of performance, he cannot keep up with Poco F7 Ultra with similar prices above. After some time with the 13 Pro, you are not convinced that he justifies such the main prices on the 12 Pro last year (costs an additional 150 pounds), and you can do better for this money.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 for $ 1,399Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 is only officially released in China, which 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 provides strong performance and lifetime of the battery, but although there is a large four -lens camera unit, the camera is disappointing. Classification is also pronounced, the use of a Chinese model is some pain where different things are not translated, and there is a work in obtaining the applications you want.

Realme GT7 Pro for $ 529: This pioneering murderer has a 6.78 -inch OLED screen, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and a huge battery of 6,500 meters per hour. You can also get a three -lens camera, but the main lenses with an area of ​​50 megapixels and the occupied phone are evacuated via Ultrawide 8 megapixels. It also lacks wireless charging, and you will have to import it to the United Kingdom, as it appears to be offered for sale only in Germany.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro+ for 309 pounds sterlingSAMSUNG 200 MB, attractive and attractive design (IP68), Samsung 200 -megapixel camera, decent battery life with super shipping (120 watts) with super oral lenses (8 megapixels), and kidney lenses (2 megapixels). Ultimately, there is a little improvement in Redmi Note 13 Pro+, not only better phones for the same money; There are better xiaomi phones.

Xiaomi Poco F6 for 270 pounds sterling: A real deal when released for the first time, the Poco F6 series is still attractive with a large screen, decent performance, and a very capable camera, but there are sharp programs, poor programs and limited long -term support. F6 is a better value than a professional.

Motorola Edge 50 Pro for 285 pounds sterling: Its price may be in the price, but Motorola Edge 50 Pro (7/10, WAID Review) only contains Android promotions to go. Although the design is compressed and there is a beautiful view, I found that it lacks the treatment force, with the slow performance of the slow camera, and there are better options above.

FLIP 5G seizure for 346 pounds sterlingI enjoyed some fun with Nubia Flip 5G (6/10, wireless review), and it was the cheapest foldable available for a period of time. The circular cover screen is nice, but it cannot do much. The performance was average a year ago, annoying programs and modernization policy are great strikes against it.
