Light into the dark! All smartphone manufacturers want you to believe that their smartphone has the best camera. This year, we have chosen to compare the camera capabilities of seven flagship smartphones released in 2018. We will also consider more left-field candidates that have good camera specifications on paper. Read on to find out which 2018 flagship has the best camera for low-light photography.

Well-rounded. Lenovo has equipped its V130-14IGM with an Intel Pentium Silver N5000 quad-core processor, which is on par with a Broadwell Core i3. Add to that a fast SSD and good battery life, and the sub-250 Euro (~$285) 14-inch laptop looks like an enticing package. The device has its drawbacks though, particularly as it has an unconvincing display and does not come with an OS installed.

Larger E. The Motorola Moto E5 offers a large screen and large battery at a small price. However, for about 130 Euros (~$149; usually $100 in the US, currently on sale for $70) you can also get some good deals from other manufacturers. We find out in our test whether the Moto E5 is able to stand out.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 (MSM8917) | Qualcomm Adreno 308 | 5.70" | 174 g

Simple office laptop. Acer's new budget 17.3-inch laptop features an Apollo Lake processor, plenty of storage and a decent keyboard. In short, the Aspire ES 17 ES1-732 is a simple office laptop that is suited for home use.
Intel Pentium N4200 | Intel HD Graphics 505 | 17.30" | 2.8 kg

Smaller footprint than the XPS 13. The "ErgoLift" design is a visual delight as it allows for a strong lid with narrow bezels on all four sides of the screen. Nevertheless, some cut corners prevent the system from being a must-have against its competitors.
Intel Core i5-8265U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 13.30" | 1.2 kg

Dream Chromebook? The Lenovo Chromebook C330 is one of the most balanced Chromebooks to cross our review desk. While there are some weak points (notably the keyboard and port selection), these are minor flaws in an otherwise excellent package.
Mediatek MT8173C | PowerVR GX6250 | 11.60" | 1.2 kg

Bigger. Smarter. Sharper. The new smartphone from Huawei, the P Smart 2019, can be described with these three words. The performance has been increased significantly and the smartphone runs the latest version of Android (9.0 Pie). However, in the course of our review, we observed several drawbacks that we also saw in our review of the predecessor.
HiSilicon Kirin 710 | ARM Mali-G51 MP4 | 6.20" | 160 g

The Magic Phone. Unfortunately, Honor does not officially sell or distribute the Honor 2 in Europe. Officially, Honor claims that the intelligence built into the Magic 2 was designed to make life easier for the Chinese, and it would not work at all in countries outside of China. However, there is something cooking, and Huawei's subsidiary is working on bringing the Magic 2 to other countries as well. We have decided to take a quick look at Honor's high-end smartphone.
HiSilicon Kirin 980 | ARM Mali-G76 MP10 | 6.39" | 209 g

Meagre model. Lenovo is trying to make a splash in the compact ultrabook market by giving its laptops a makeover. The company has introduced new branding, the latest Intel CPUs and slimmer cases, but has it done enough to disrupt an already saturated market?

Intel Core i7-8565U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 13.30" | 1.1 kg

3-in-1 convertible. The new Yoga Book has an E-Ink display instead of a keyboard and can be considered a combination of a laptop, a tablet and an e-reader. On top of that, you can also digitalize text and drawings with this all-rounder. The device is based on its predecessor from 2016 but offers many changes and improvements. For instance, it provides better performance. On the other hand, it has also dropped at least one feature. Is the 2018 Yoga Book worth twice the price of the old version? Find out in our detailed review.
Intel Core i5-7Y54 | Intel HD Graphics 615 | 10.80" | 778 g

Successful upgrade. AMD will not be offering us an entirely new GPU series this year. Instead, AMD has launched another Polaris Refresh GPU: the RX 590, produced in a 12-nm process. This enables significantly higher clock rates compared to the RX 580 but only slight improvements in terms of power consumption. Find out whether the Polaris 30 chip is still worth a try in our review.
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X | AMD Radeon RX 590 (Desktop) | 32.00"

Connect four? The Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018)'s unique selling point is certainly its back camera with a grand total of four lenses. Nevertheless, the mid-range smartphone surprised us in other disciplines in our tests, keeping pace with other Samsung S series phones.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 | Qualcomm Adreno 512 | 6.30" | 183 g

Old wine in old skins. Hewlett Packard's 10.1-inch convertible comes with an IPS touchscreen, decent battery life, and soundless operation to boot. Its performance is fairly limited - HP opted for an outdated Atom x5 processor.
Intel Atom x5-Z8350 | Intel HD Graphics 400 (Braswell) | 10.10" | 1.2 kg

6-inch bargain. If you are looking for a budget smartphone with a large display, dual SIM and LTE functionality, then you should look no further than the Galaxy J4 Plus (2018). The device is well-designed, offers solid performance, and it is identical, except for a few details, to the more expensive Galaxy J6 Plus.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 (MSM8917) | Qualcomm Adreno 308 | 6.00" | 178 g

Luxury Linux. The Librem 13 is a privacy-focused Linux laptop from Purism, a boutique Linux OEM. While the device looks beautiful at first glance, software limitations and hardware bugs cripple the laptop and keep us from recommending it.
Intel Core i7-6500U | Intel HD Graphics 520 | 13.30" | 1.4 kg

Simply sturdy. The CAT B35 is a robust feature phone that has been designed for use in extreme environments. The device includes a 4G modem, but its apps selection is underwhelming. Read on to find out whether the CAT B35 is good enough for everyday use.
Qualcomm 205 | Qualcomm Adreno 304 | 2.40" | 130 g

The perfect gaming CPU! The Intel Core i7-9700K now must prove itself in our tests, with the Core i9-9900K having shown its worth last month.

Read on to find whether the Core i7-9700K has the edge over its older sibling and how the CPU fares against the AMD competition.
Intel Core i7-9700K | AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 | 32.00"

Makes a lot of wind. The Lenovo Legion Y530 does not waste much time with questions about the design, but delivers a lot of performance for an affordable price instead. After the review of the GTX 1050 Ti SKU, we now have a look at the model with the more powerful GTX 1060. What can users expect from this laptop?
Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile | 15.60" | 2.3 kg

An Ultrabook for gamers. The new Blade Stealth proves that not all GeForce MX150 GPUs are created equal. It's the fastest 13.3-inch Ultrabook we've tested with graphics performance just shy of a GTX 960M all in a sleek package the size of a MacBook Pro 13.
Intel Core i7-8565U | NVIDIA GeForce MX150 | 13.30" | 1.3 kg

AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2920X | AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 | 32.00"

A pure workhorse! After our closer look at the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X, we have also got our hands on its sibling, the Threadripper 2970WX. The 2970WX has 24 cores and can execute up to 48 threads, which is another eight cores and 16 threads more than the 2950X has. The latter has a 500 MHz higher base clock speed and a 200 MHz higher boost clock speed though, although the 2970WX has a 70 W higher TDP. Read on to find out how the 2970WX compares against other Threadripper APUs and whether it is worth its hefty US$1,299 price tag.
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX | AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 | 32.00"

Small rose. There are countless compact 13.3-inch laptops on the market. This should come as no surprise, since laptops such as the Dell XPS 13 are ideal companions for day-to-day life. With the Asus VivoBook S13 S330UA, we are testing a new model from Asus that is slightly cheaper than the popular XPS 13 from Dell.
Intel Core i7-8550U | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 13.30" | 1.2 kg

Alien on a diet. Alienware's first ultra-thin laptop maintains the spirit of the original Alienware 15 R4 while propelling the series forward into the super-light gaming category. Of course, some sacrifices had to be made when moving to a smaller design, but it's mostly a success especially in terms of Turbo Boost performance and chassis rigidity.
Intel Core i7-8750H | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q | 15.60" | 2.2 kg

The perfect Bokeh. HTC positions the U12 Life as a smartphone with amazing camera effects to suit and satisfy everyone's artistic needs and wishes.
