      Chaos X 1982, 06 Jul 2023Sony is the best, until someone else comes up with a Dimens... moreDimensity 9300? I can agree with probably.

      Sony? Uh, the phone has a reputation of throttling like even with SD 8 Gen 2. Not sure if Sharp throttles better than Sony.

          @GSMArena: Shame there is no Audiophile phones category; i'm really eager to find if there's could be a replacement for my LG V50 (quad DAC)
          (And LG if you read this (too?); please come back with quad DAC phones)

                  Would be useful with also a category of tough phones like the Ulefone, Doogee, Blackview, Cat,...

                    Useless and, worse, potentially misleading. Prices change much faster. Edge 40 costs far less now, for example.

                            We are literally in TechTober yet the guide is of the brick Nokia era. Also remove the damn notification bell if you don't intend to update it after I've seen it.

                              perhaps it's time to update the guide. Some of the phones are old, nowadays

                                LucaKirani, 09 Sep 2023Beat phones of 2023 yet posted in June 🤢Yep, it's being updated when new noteworthy phones (according to gsmarena's opinion, not yours) come out. What's so hard to understand?

                                    But yes the higher priced devices offered those features and yes there are buyers who use those features daily too but not used by casual users.

For example, name me a $200/300 phone that has an S-pen, 120hz amoled screen, most powerful cpu and gpu, great battery life, 5 year software support, great picture and video quality, great sound... There is none.
