        What about the s20 fe? The s10 lite and note 10 lite should not be on this list.

          Xiaomi rocks!
          I love using RN9Pro. Solid phone with arguably cheapest Snapdragon 720G
          Upcoming a52 rumored using same soc with higher price tag!

            Berserker, 28 Dec 2020At this point the a51 is becoming a meme. It is everywhere. Actually it's not a bad phone. Solid display, just underpowered. A51's battery life is also solid.

            The Galaxy J2 Prime and J1 mini are horrendous. Lots of failed units recently as more people from developing countries with little budget buy these phones. The screen barely works.

              Shanti Dope, 28 Dec 2020Desperate enough to call out the fanboys? ♥️Is funny how fanboys of any particular brand think that their phone company is the best.
              Well Timmy, your a fanboy, your opinion doesn't count, because it is subjective.

                Anonymous, 28 Dec 2020Incoming Furious 👿👿 Sony brand boys. Desperate enough to call out the fanboys? ♥️

                  AnonD-909757, 28 Dec 2020I don't know how you make this selection, but "po... moreagree... perhaps they based it on "spec sheet" page, not necessarily the articles... i wonder why sony xperia 1 ii is not part of it too as articles of such are crowded by both fans and haters... too obvious with a lot of comments too, meaning there is an engagement from readers... i dont even know some phones on their top 20... ha ha... if i were to include phones that made buzz at least cross my radar are both xperia 1 ii and 5 ii, these two are even "go to" of some youtubers to gain audience, observed how some youtubers who left sony for long went back for more views - mkbhd for instance... lg wing too...

                  so again, it might be the "spec sheet" page... but i am still confused, xperia 1 ii is currently #2 fan favorite and joined the most read when it was released too...
                  so, whatever... it is their page, their call...

                          From popular list above,
                          Best flagship phone are One Plus 8 Pro, Smsg Note 20 Ultra (if snapdragon), Mi 10 Pro, and iPhone 12 pro max

                            Now price is becoming more important.
                            If they did not build in obsolescence all could be better.
                            But if you are in the business of selling phones a new one every week helps.
                            Throw away world that is cellphones.

                              Yes but those are great phones nevertheless 😁

                                Berserker, 28 Dec 2020At this point the a51 is becoming a meme. It is everywhere. I had used an Honor 8X before the A51, the latter felt seriously underpowered with the actual meme for nerds - Exynos 9611, save for the AMOLED screen, but the 8X's LTPS screen was up there, and it was $40 cheaper in my country. Had to sell the meme and get a proper phone - Redmi Note 9S, good to see it on the list. Missing nothing from the A51 at all.

                                  And the phones you listed doesn't sell as much as samsung a series or redmi phones

Apple invented heavily in marketing this year, all that stories about redesign, 5G, super sycle...they got more people to be interested in new products, and sales is better than it was last year.
                                      But we will see at the end of the financial year, is iPhone 12 any better than iPhone 12

                                        Most popular HOW????
                                        is it by number of devices sold or just how many clicks they have got at gsmarena.com???
                                        I mean...in that case S20FE don't have a chance against regular s20.
                                        And we all know that it is more popular option.
