1. Getting started
The centrepiece for all home cinema systems is the screen. So that’s almost certainly where you should start out on your home cinema journey, with the Philips Ambilight OLED807 TV – a beautifully immersive 4K television brimming with appeal and running on the popular Android TV platform.

Available in 48, 55, 65 and 77in screen sizes, this Ultra HD TV uses the latest OLED.EX panel* to offer a 30% higher peak light output than its predecessor (the award-winning OLED806), and now offers the powerful 6th Gen P5 processor with Ambient Intelligence to automatically adjust and optimise the screen’s SDR and HDR performance to your room’s current ambient lighting.

It also offers the widest support for all the major HDR formats and it’s also compatible with IMAX Enhanced content (what could be more cinematic than that?) while gamers can experience smooth, ultra-responsive graphics thanks to HDMI 2.1 and refresh rates of up to 120Hz.

It also carries Philips’ Next Gen version of its signature Ambilight technology, a four-side rear-mounted LED array that glows with the same colours currently on screen. This synced-up festival of light, dancing on the wall behind the screen, draws you right into the TV’s image, increasing your perception of contrast and colour. And it’s more accurate than ever here thanks to a wider palette and new ability for each individual LED to show its own colour.

Audio is handled by an onboard 2.1-channel 70W setup compatible with Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital and DTS-HD, and each individual driver can be powered independently for improved timing, clarity and separation. The TV can also be used as a dedicated centre channel in a multi-speaker setup, if you do decide to add extra speakers later on.

Xiaomi 12 Lite Performance & software: price before power
Here’s where the 12 Lite’s more affordable nature starts to show again. A Snapdragon 778G CPU is not to be sniffed at, but neither can it compete with the more powerful silicon powering the rest of the Xiaomi 12 line-up. It’s a mid-range chip, paired with either 6 or 8GB of RAM, and 128 or 256GB of on-board storage. Our sample was the top-end 8GB/256GB version.

Android 12 isn’t a challenge to run smoothly, with the phone delivering stutter-free animations that take advantage of the 120Hz refresh rate. Apps load reasonably quickly, you don’t need to wait for the onscreen keyboard to appear whenever you try to open a web page, and you can multitask with a couple of apps before it’ll need to redraw them. That should be plenty of power for most, especially anyone stepping up from a sluggish entry-level handset – but anyone going the other way will notice how it’s not quite as snappy as a high-end phone.

That’s true of gaming, too. the 12 Lite can run most things in the Play Store at medium to high settings, but don’t expect it to hit the full 120fps in titles that support it. More demanding games like Diablo Immortal have a bit of hitching every now and then, with moderate quality settings, but stays playable for an hour-long session. This bodes well for the upcoming Nothing Phone 1, which is set to use a tweaked version of the same chip, and is expected to compete closely on price.

On the software side, Xiaomi has stuck with what it knows: a largely stripped-back skin on the surface, but with lots of customisation options and bespoke features once you go searching for them. The iOS-style control centre remains alongside the traditional notification tray, and there are a handful of pre-installed apps we could do without, but at least it’s less OTT on that front than sub-brand Poco.
