Samsung Galaxy M51 should also be considered as a contender for the best "Mid-Ranger of 2020"
(if you can consider Mi 10 Ultra as a contender, which was released only in China, then you can also consider Galaxy M51, India only phone)

    Anonymous, 26 Dec 2020Availability factor is definitely big in buying decisions. But the poll is not about whether you will buy or not

                  Samsung should see this. They want to kill the note line which is the ultimate premium phone for some useless foldable junk. I am really disappointed in samsung.

                      All are useless and waste of money and total junk. Especially so called flagship phones. They don't even have basic 3.5mm Jack and too heavy too. Only fools will buy these junks at 1000s of $$$s.

                        NY Yankee , 14 Dec 2020You guys can keep fighting amongst yourselves. Meanwhile ... moreSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 indeed deserves the 'Phone of the Year' Award.

                        Samsung is pushing the Innovation train into a totally new terrain.
                        They are giving people an opportunity to taste the future before anybody else.

                        So glad to be part of the premium ecosystem of Android which is bringing innovative devices like the Z Fold 2 to the market. All other ecosystem can do, is copy.

                          LG Superfan, 14 Dec 2020You don't consider distribution and ease of replacemen... moreOh, yes you do. Of course you can't list Samsung to ship *all* these phones worldwide, we're talking about flagship. And give me any Samsung or Apple of which country didn't make it in their flagship line-up, but Xiaomi did? What purpose would a 'flagship' server if you can't even buy it? Or no warranty/after-warranty to cover it?

                          Oh, and did you purposefully forget the software update I mention? Samsung does firmware update of two years and security 3 with their flaghship (and more), can you say the same with Xiaomi?

                            Blackkk Mamba , 14 Dec 2020Depends on which country you are from. In India: MI 10... moreMi 10T still the lowest priced and balanced specs

                              Blackkk Mamba , 14 Dec 2020I agree that Mi 10 ultra is the flagship of the year. Go... moreYeah of all phones released this year Mi 10 Ultra by far ticks most if not all of my boxes

                                Anonymous, 14 Dec 2020Come out of closet and change your name to Xiaomi superfan ... moreYou don't consider distribution and ease of replacement or whatever when talkng about the best phone cause it literally has nothing to do with how the phone performs and specs, if you take distribution and availabilith into account than there is no best smartphone cause not even Samsung has all models available everywhere and for Flagship killer I said Mi 10T or Mi 10 Ultra

                                  now I have the galaxy fold 2..... it beats the other hands down.

                                    LG Superfan, 14 Dec 2020Here is a list of who I would've picked as winners Be... moreCome out of closet and change your name to Xiaomi superfan already? While some category are subjective such as camera, and I'll certainly give you best entry level 5G but flagship and flagship killer... Really?

                                    A flagshiop has to come top/near top on all front, and I can't see that from Xiaomi. Their distribution and ease of access is no way near that of top tier vendor. Go ask any minor senior citizen in public and ask them to buy and Xiaomi phone, if not agreed by 'what that', it will not be the easiest product to find and buy, not to mention if out of warranty part replacement, repair workmanship isn't as easy accessible - these all need to taken in count for flashship. And Xiaomi also lacks in the software department with questionable software update frequency.

                                    Flashship killer - need to be close to flagship offering but the obvious which I'm sure many will agree with a killer not easy to beat pricing, and I can't see that from Mi 10 Ultra... At it own pricing, you can choose other flagship, there's nothing to kill about.

                                        None of the phones released in 2020 are worth it. None. All just rectangular slabs with more or less similar design and features. Nothing that stands out. Only money grabbing by these so called smartphone manufacturers.
