        Anonymous, 26 Dec 2022What's your number 5Forgot to add that. The Galaxy S20 I guess. The last S series phone with QHD display on base variant

          1- All in one midranger: Poco F4, OnePlus Nord 2t, Mi 11t pro.
          2- Budget gaming: Poco x4 pro GT, Poco F4 GT
          3- Pocket frienly with reasonable price ( can be found for about 350€ now cause of low sale): Iphone se 2022
          4- Fine device with reasonable price, especially for Samsung: Galaxy a33
          5- Ultra budget models: Poco m4 pro 5g/4g.
          6- Explore bunch of Motorola devices, it can be found great one's, especially from last year with lower price.
          This is my list, especially cause 90% people will get budget or midrange devices, cause as we all know money is key factor for everything. Someone who has it doesn't look recension and usually get new iphone right away ( tech enthusiast doesn't count here).

            Yessir, 26 Dec 2022ok but who asked ?your broke wallet is offended perhaps 😸

              rizki1, 26 Dec 2022Xiaomi last year had 8 phones on the list, 4 of which were ... moreHow good new 12 is depends on price. Sd 4 gen1 is real improvement compared to sd 680 and it's on pair with sd 695. Dimensity 1080 is great budget soc and rly adequate for thus series. But if they give high global price, than who cares about everything i wrote.

                For those who only read the title, the article is about "Here are the Top 20 phones that you searched for the most over the last 12 months". So yes, S22 Ultra was the most searched smartphone of the year which means that many of the readers of this site was interested in this model.

                  I am not surprised that Samsung Galaxy A73 is the number 7th here, even though the Samsung Galaxy A53 is the 2nd but, everyone knows that it's because of the price and availability not that A53 is better than the A73.

                    iPhone SE once again dominated. It‘s by far the best iPhone out there right now. Comfortable size and feel, iconic design, reliable LCD and the best performance in its class will make it relevant for the next 7 years, and that for the lowest price of any new iPhone.

                      No Motorola phones???
                      That's absurd

                        Yessir, 26 Dec 2022ok but who asked ?I'm sorry, no one realized people have to ask someone for an opinion.
                        This is a comment section, if you don't like someone's opinion, ignore it. ,,Who asked" is such a outdated thing to say nowadays.

                          Hemedans, 26 Dec 2022Bought redmi note 11 for my dad and he likes it very much, ... moreRight, my younger brother uses a Redmi Note 11 128GB, this AMOLED is amazing, phone is compact than my RN10 5G, UI is quite smooth, charging only takes 1 hour.. one of the best 2022 budget phone for me.

                            Anonymous, 26 Dec 2022Nothing Phone mus not be in the Top 20 Phones. Carl Pei used a lot of his connections and paid shills to artificially boost its popularity. The sales will tell a different story.

                              Daemon Targaryen, 26 Dec 2022Z Fold 4 and Flip 4 did not make the cut? Shows you how nic... moreBecause they are not popular in Gsmarena doesnt mean they dont sell, it just mean Fold user base dont visit Gsmarena Frequently (same to Iphone). In 2021 they sold 10M units, and until Aug this year they sold 9M units so they are on track to surpass 12m units this year. For devices which cost over $1000 thats impressive.

                                Akinaro, 26 Dec 2022Samsung A13 in 10? Is that a joke? This phone is disaster i... moreBought redmi note 11 for my dad and he likes it very much, its the best phone around $150 feature wise, you get Good amoled screen, good battery life, Decent camera with Gcam and Sd 680 is enough for elders, better than those Cortex A53 soc.

                                A53 isnt bad in some market like US it goes as cheap as $250 in sales unlocked, and as cheap as $99 locked, also A53 is successor of A52 not A52s.

                                Agreed on A13 not good phone, there is no room for A53 or A55 only soc in 2022 especially when they have A03 with cortex A75.
