No Iphone on the list left question mark next to it. Does it mean Iphone is on other planet? Iphone fans will hold and hug the phone tightly and say in their minds "no rival". :) hmmm...

"Yeah, the best phones for me ... moreThere are huge differences between flagship and flagship, and of course a person who gets to try out all, or nearly all flagships, would choose one of those, instead of getting a midrange phone, and Ivan's preferences made him lean towards a China ROM vivo.

      This list isn't useless, it's just useless FOR YOU.

        Typical list, the best Samsung, the best Pixel, the best Vivo... The Honor is the phone that actually deserves a spot as it is a technological marvel. But just putting the flagships, theost ultra phones from any brand is a no brainer. I know it's his personal list but other than the X200 mini there are 0 surprises

          It's like a car recommendations, but only recommended the top end cars on the market. Useless list.

                I'm actually daily driving a China ROM phone, that I got 1,5 years ago, so I don't think you could tell me anything new, but you should try.

                              Bad or good advertising is advertising! We started with Samsung and ended with Samsung...

                                So true Chinese use the most modern and latest tech and hardware.samsung isn't doing this from s22+ to s241same camer sensors can u belive people pay premium amount for 2 years old camera system and s25+has same camera of s22+ gsmaren should need to highlight this practice openly in review and put this thing in cons to highlight issue because makers listen to bigger reviewers not the general people.

                                  DarlingYext, 29 Dec 2024Took about 2 seconds to change the language to english on m... moreExactly, I've been using Color os 15(OnePlus 13) since early December and so far everything is working like any other international OS version, except android auto, AI assistant(still in Chinese). Not a big deal, as i dont use use either of them.

                                  People tend to be overdramatic about chinese ROMs as if it makes a phone completely unusable, when in reality it's completely fine with some very minor and easy adjustments.

                                    Literally every single google app and every other app also works just like on any other phone. The only thing that doesn't work is Android Auto, and even that might be added with the Android 15 update, not that I'd ever use said feature but it's good to know what's up with it.

                                      DarlingYext, 29 Dec 2024What hassle are you talking about? Prolly the massive hassle of changing system language to english, that even a toddler knows how to do 🙄

                                        All good picks. But there are a lot better phons than Samsung or google.
