                Popular, as in sales numbers, or popular as in clicks on your websites? Because I KNOW that the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 was not the most popular phone last year based on the number of units sold.
                It'd be nice if you editor people could specify in articles like these, next time.

                      My first modern phone was the Nokia N95. Very good phone back in its days.

                                  Couldn't be more proud to own phones like Nokia N95, period. And I despised Nokia back in the days, just because of the dumb reason everyone owns one.

                                  Just one request, if you are to compare Nokia (old one) with Apple, then please also mention that there was no Nokia brand, it never existed. Cause for us, the old users, you can't put more shame to it by comparing it with that other company.

                                    Mumbai-Indians, 18 Jun 2017My N85 & N73 Music Edition are still working fine.My 5140 and N81 both barely lasted for about 1,5 years and then started to fall apart physically. Very, very bad build quality.

                                      Almost agree with the list. But S5 should not be the most popular phone. And where is oneplus one & Lumia 800 in list..??
