        Anonymous, 29 Dec 2024No iPhone? Well this guy is very smart.You're right. I didn't even notice that detail.
        The top 5 phones of Ivan are mediocre at best but hey at least he didn't include an iphone in his top 5. This makes Ivan my hero.

                    Ivan i loved reading your technical reviews. It was well worth reading and finally some1 from GSMAREANA acknowledges the Vivos in reviews as being stellar as none were mentioned in the end of year phone categories. Good honest opinions. Keep it up. 👍

GSMArena's love for Xiaomi is only second to Samsung. The only reason the phone isn't here is because of battery. Where did you even see the "good" battery anyways? Apart from the China version which has a bigger battery and better optimization, the phone has terrible battery for its class. Every competitor, including Google, has better battery life. Most people are using the global version and everyone i've talked to has talked about the poor battery life.

                            Media complains samsung brings same phone year after year, but in the end of year, they all choose as favorite.

                                Commenting on the Vivo X100 Ultra and like Ivan I sold my Samsung S24 Ultra. Coming for the S23 Ultra I wasn't impressed at all with it. Vivo was miles ahead in photography

                                      Since there are so many complainers here in the comments ( as usual) can I just say I appreciate your list and the story of how you've switched from Samsung loyalty to Vivo. That's what this site is supposed to be. Passionate about phones. Plus if you're the video guy then thanks for all the good videos this year. Gsmarena on YouTube is one of my favourites!

                                        Iphone competes with itself as it's a completely different os and needs.

                                        Either you buy an iPhone to flex or because of ecosystem or you have always used or wanna try iPhone.
