You get the usual pin-sharp Retina screen with support for Apple’s 3D Touch technology as well as an all-new 12-megapixel snapper. That sexy camera tech can capture decent low-light shots and produces life-like images, in almost any conditions.

The iPhone 7 is also the first Apple phone to boast full water resistance, so you can finally dunk it in your drink without suffering a trip to an Apple store.

Apple iPhone 6s

Although it's now been succeeded by the iPhone 7, you can still pick up the excellent iPhone 6s from Apple's online store and high street shops. And with its new reduced price, this 4.7-inch mini mobile is still very enticing.

You get another solid 12-megapixel camera, nippy performance from the A9 processor and most of the iPhone 7's best features, minus the water resistance, bigger storage options and a few other bits. Considering the lower price, anyone on a budget should definitely take a look at the iPhone 6s.

Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016)

Samsung's new Galaxy A3 is basically a Samsung Galaxy S6 Mini by another name. This 4.7-incher is an updated version of last year's original A3 and it's a serious improvement of an already-awesome mini phone. Not only does the new A3 borrow the slick glass-and-metal design of the S6, but it actually improves Samsung's 2015 flagship in a few areas, including the excellent battery life.

You also get a very strong 13-megapixel camera and 720p HD visuals, all for a shade over £200, making this one of the best and most affordable mini Androids of 2016.

LG Spirit

If the Xperia Compacts and the mini iPhones are out of your price league, then check out this affordable mini mobile instead.

The 4.7-inch LG Spirit has some pretty unique features for a budget blower, including comfortable rear-mounted controls and LG's own Knock Code security. Movie fans will be satisfied by the sharp screen resolution and the 8-megapixel camera is decent for the price, with a pleasingly simple app to shoot your everyday life.

Motorola Moto E (2015)

Motorola’s surprisingly cheap mini mobile boasts loads of great features for well under £100, including 4G support, customisable cases and a clean Android Lollipop interface. Fair enough, the camera is very basic, but otherwise the Moto E is a very strong all-round compact smartphone.
