      Anonymous, 27 Jan 2019LOLNot LoL but true.
      Plenty of people buy Samsung Note 9 just because they think they have the best device money can buy but dozens of them cant even use 10 or 20% of its features because they dont know how and they have no idea whats they are good for.
      Only 1 out of 10 000 will use all features Note 9 have for offer.
      Rest will be as i stated.

                  Winner should be Pocophone not a Note 9.
                  Note 9 cost way too much and offers tons of useless features that people have to pay for.
                  Poco has been skinned or shredded from all that and thus its a best phone for the money.

                    I think Mate 20 should be the best flagship.
                    this one gives you over 2 days on single charge with excellent flat screen, while note 9 is fragile with annoying glares and can barely survive till 21:00

                      CIBENETICO, 28 Dec 2018where is iphone :o)? IPhone did drop out before finals. IPhones Are popular, but most iPhone users don’t read these forums, so They don`t partisipate.
                      When looking what peoples did vote, it was quite a lot based on phones whole were good allrounders. IPhone quite good allrounder, but most Readers Are Android users like me.
                      Don`t get me wrong. IOs is definitely good os, even most people in these forums claim otherwice, but it not very popular os in these forums, so iso devices does not get so Many votes in here.
                      I have used Windows phones, iOs phones and Android phones and all of those have their good parts and weak parts. It depends on what you want to get. I would hapily use any of those with enough app support. All in all it does not matter what os you Are using, if you can get done, what you need to do.
                      Hmm... that was too long explanation why not iPhone this time ;) Majority gsmarena readers just don`t like them as much as other phones.

                            mandcl, 27 Dec 2018People voted , it's not about the crappy Antutu score . It... moreYep!
                            Always people think that other people Are wrong, because They value different things than They themselves. This is demograty and voting is system where most popular amon all voting people get elected.
                            I don`t agree with all the winners, but I agree that those phones Are the best phones among the most people! So in cases where my favorite was not a winner I just belongs to minority. It sickens me when people behave badly after voting does not go as They themselves hoped for. It is democraty! It is the best system people have developed.
                            Is it somthat some people would prefer tyranny so that every people have to vote for example Xiaomi? No free will? Just follow orders? I just don`t get it...
                            This was open vote, not as good as best political election systems, but still the best one will gets more votes. (Based on majoritys preferences)

                              Me2, 26 Dec 2018This top is a bad joke... Thought that GSMA is not biased, ... morePeople voted , it's not about the crappy Antutu score . It's about the best phone overall and Note 9 deserves the top place.

                                  its a flagship chip phone with mid range specs ... which mix the up and give you high out put.

                                    Why would anyone buy the Motorola One and get a 2nd place mention when as a European phone for the UK it only has only has UK 4G channels 3 (1800) and 7 (2600). It doesn't have UK popular channel 20 (800) which used by ALL the network providers with Giffgaff and Tesco ONLY using channel 20
