GSMArena has their own list for best midrangers and it's just Ivan who prefers flagships over midrangers in general. It's his choice, plus, it's hard to favor midrangers over flagships as flagships are the best money can buy, while midrangers have to cut corners here and there.

    My fav is the one that outs quality hi res raws. From what I know only Vivo does, any X... vivo.
    Wish there is competition tho.

            My pick from the list would be the ZTE and the ASUS. While ZTE may not have an excellent software update policy, the Axon 40 Ultra is one of only four smartphones of 2022 that can shoot native 4K/120fps video across all three cameras (with the other three smartphones being the Sony Xperia 1 iv, Sony Xperia 5 iv, and OnePlus 10 Pro). As for the ASUS, it's compact flagship done right. I love how ASUS can get gimbal stabilization in such a small body.

Go and see his top 5 phones in the previous years, it's all about the best phones money can buy.

                Rotciv Ikias, 25 Dec 2022It's not actually pointless, u will be surprised the a... moreI think voting for phones you haven't used is pointless. It's impossible to make a proper judgment about if one phone is better than another if you haven't used both, especially when comparing flagships which all have pretty good hardware. People mostly just vote for a phone from their favorite brand (and probably haven't even tried phones from most of the other brands). A poll like that just mainly shows which brand is more popular among gsmarena readers

                  I stopped reading after you said you like the unreleased mi 13 pro. makes your entire post unprofessional.

                      People that use any iphone or redmi note would vote 14 pro max.
                      Geeks from India would vote OnePlus or Pixel (for still unknown reason).

                      12s Ultra, X80 Pro, 1 iv, X5 Pro, 30 Edge Ultra , 40 Ultra, Zen9, Rog 6 Pro combined would not have 5%.

                        [deleted post]He is basing his opinion on his experience with past Xiaomi phones through out the year,

                        It is obvious just like everybody else he is not sure of the 13 pro,he's just being optimistic

                          Search for it in the website

                            IpsDisplay, 25 Dec 2022How comes there is never top 5 mid rangers or entry level s... moreThey said favourite smartphones not midrange smartphones and it's very hard and rare to favour midrangers over flagships

                            After using the s22 ultra and A53 for example nobody would say they prefer the A53 instead, if price was not an issue

                                  I can understand Ivan's list a lot and why he puts the s22 ultra as his favourite

                                    Pointless when everybody knows results.

                                      With all the exposure/privilege and diversity with reviews you mean to tell me we get the same flagship spam every year??
