From its launch in 2016 until 2020, Pickr provided phone comparison with specifications and reviews from Australian technology journalists. The goal was to cut through problems with finding local reviews in search engines, and make it possible for Australians to find local reviews.
In recent years, however, search engine approaches have improved, and so our phone comparison and tracking systems are less required.
As a result, Pickr’s phone comparison technology has been deactivated.
You can find the latest news and reviews from our coverage on phones below. Alternatively, please consider our current best phone picks and regular recommendations.
