        YUKI93, 26 Dec 2022The Pixel 7 Pro may well be one of the best phones of 2022,... moreThe Pixel 7/Pro would be great if you are moving from older Pixels or if you get a Pixel for the 1st time. But yeah, I agree, it's not a worthy upgrade from the 6's.

            I still don’t understand why people choose pixel as favorite phone of the year. It’s garbage, all pixels are bad
            Looks like google pays for advertising their phones to keep them overpriced

              The Pixel 7 Pro may well be one of the best phones of 2022, but I still don't think it's a worthy upgrade over the Pixel 6 Pro since the Tensor G2 doesn't bring much improvement over the first generation Tensor. I don't think anyone with the Pixel 6 Pro will feel missed out.

                    So it has to be a better smartphone if it is going to be boasting an already used 1" sensor by the competition

                          Weird that GSMArena didn't have a hands-on with this phone. Seriously, this is easily phone of the year.

                                ZTE nubia Red Magic 8 Pro+ phone of year. Unless you are biased

                                    Maybe it could actually appear on the 2023 sum-up tho?

                                      Vivo X90 Pro+ is better than the Xiaomi 12S Ultra in pretty much every way.
                                      OriginOS takes some time getting used to but it's simply a beautiful UI. Camera? Better as well. Much better, in fact. Well ngl, I only bought if for the camera. :) "Zeiss Natural Color" mode allows taking the most NATURAL looking pictures on a smartphone to date. And if you want pictures that are "Instagram ready" or whatevs, just don't enable Zeiss natural color. The only thing that's slightly disappointing is the mediocre audio quality in video and only up to 1080p 60fps video recording with the front facing camera. Personally I don't do vlogging so I don't care, but I understand it's a big issue for some people.
                                      There is also the matter of removing Chinese bloatware apps, but thanks to the amazing people at XDA forums, I managed to remove ALL that useless crap.
                                      And probably the most important part for a lot of people: Vivo X90 Pro+ is actually PERFECTLY USABLE as a PHONE in Europe. Not sure about 5G, but all the 4G bands used in my country are included (unlike on the Xiaomi).
