Show Notes
This week, Jason, Suzi and Gadget Show legend Jon Bentley turn a debate into the Smartphone World Cup 2026. From the Nothing Phone 4A Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL to Apple's iPhone 17 Pro Max and Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra, they pit affordable challengers against premium heavyweights to find out whether spending over £1,000 on a phone still makes sense. Plus, the government plans a social media ban for under-16s, Snap unveils its latest augmented reality glasses, and there's another chance to win a £5,000 tech shopping spree with CeX.
