      How sad that he states his opinions about his personal preference for this year's phones and you yell and complain. It's an opinion piece. It's a website for tech. Stop moaning and happy new year!

            Good write up.
            Have you forgot about Sony tho?
            Their Xperias offer better compact packages than Asus imo

              Samsung S23 FE in top 5 lists lol. I recently got a Xiaomi 12 pro for 456$ and this phone beats Samsung S23 FE in every department. It has got QHD display with LTPO 2.0 tech, Three 50 MP cameras, stereo speakers, 120 W charging and Snapdragon 8 gen 1 SoC ( even though during heavy browsing it does heatup but during normal usage it works perfectly without any heating ) Xiaomi 12 Pro also looks much better than Samsung S23 FE and feels much premium. Worst thing about Samsung galaxy S23 FE is its price. In India Samsung S23 FE cost 721$ lol

Get S23+/Motorola Edge 40 Pro/Nothing Phone 2/One Plus 12 and use it for three years and then upgrade. Those who want to buy Samsung in Europe should stay away. These are ideal phones to buy in Europe currently. I don't know current pricing of Xiaomi 13 Ultra. If it's at 999USD, then it's great product as well.

                        I'll admit, for opinion this is actually an okay list. The thing that confuses me is A34.

                        Spark 10 and Infinix is debatable.

                        And the honorable mentions is actaully sound.

                            Great list Victor, perfectly matches with my own preferences.

                            About the Poco F5, it is undoubtedly one of the greatest midrangers ever made. For $246, we get the 8/256 GB variant in India, amazing 12 bit AMOLED display and near flagship Snapdragon 7+ Gen2. We get an 3.5mm audio jack, that too with HiRes audio support. OK stereo speakers. 5000 Mah battery and fast charging. Lightweight phone, hovering around 180 grams. This kind of phones appear once in 3 years.

                              However, this is purely an opinion piece and reflects my personal preferences. I buy my own phones just like most other people and do have some preferences. I just also happen to have a place to share them on occasion for you lovely folks to read and comment :)

                                Nice list, Victor - you choose great flagship, great compact phone (Asus) and also good midrangers.

                                      I think the Infinix Zero 30 5G should replace the Tecno Spark 10 Pro because it is a super well rounded phone, with a far nicer screen, awesome performance, faster charging and 4K video capture on all cameras, (except the depth obviously) even on the 50MP selfie camera. It's a package that is hard to beat at this price.

My P40 Pro still takes better pics than most phones out there. Excellent performance, battery life and display. I used to love Samsung phones till they started over pricing all their models. There are much better Chinese variants out there with a much cheaper price.
