"The Moto G Stylus 5G (2022)’s battery life is outstanding. It is a stylus lover’s best affordable option with a large screen, competitive battery life, and solid performance. It is a workable alternative to the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra which costs more than twice as much."

"If you’re hunting for the best Android camera phone at this price, and one that doesn’t skimp on specs the OnePlus 9 is worth considering. Courtesy of a partnership with Hasselblad, the cameras offer better color correction, and both regular and ultra-wide photos look great. The OnePlus 9’s battery fully charges in under 30 minutes over a cable, and in 45 minutes using wireless charging. If you hate waiting for hours to charge your phone, you'll love the OnePlus 9."
