You can have even 1000 years of updates but your hardware wont last that long.
For what sake companies giving more than 2 OS upgrades if they dont give more than 2 years of warranty.
If your phone for some reason starts bricking or get faulty yo have to apy expensive repair in case of Samsung S24 Ultra winner of this poll it still can be between 300-700 eur depends on damage done. Once your warranty if off you have to pay expensive repair.
And as a good example rather will pay 1000 eur for new phone than fix 2-3 years old phone for 500 bucks. Average between what i said 300-700.

      Anonymous, 13 hours agoSamsung is more familiar, yes. But never forget that people... moreFriend its not about buying onlie.
      Yes anyone can buy anyphone anywhere does not matter the country unless you are citizen of North korea and maybe Cuba.
      Its about warranty claims and possible repairs.
      If you buy a 1000 eur phone which due to lets say accident or unexpected event breaks and cant be fixed in your country you have a problem a big one.
      So its not only about buying from online possibilities like Amazon, Alliexpress, TaoBao, With, Teemu, Shein, Ebay, Heureka etc.

        Even the Oneplus 13R for 400 is way better than any samsung ever created.

          GAMIR3DH, 15 hours agoSo the comments don't reflect reality huh... i though ... moreWe dont hate Samsung because we must but because they forcing us to do so.
          Forcing by giving a 1000-2000 eur phones with specs worth maybe 500.
          While said chiense phones excells in every category and are way better than Samsug for much less in price.

          Motorola 50 ultra is good example.
          Oneplus 13 too. Available in my country for 700 and the 13R for 400 eur.
          And i can continue with more awesome deals.

            Anonymous, 15 hours agoAny Chinese flagship (with new chipset) that were launched ... moreBro thats not correct.
            make equal ground i mean make all phones from all brands available in all 206 countries in world and i can guarantee you samsung wont be even top ten also google or Apple.
            Because said cinese brands for half the price can make equal specced device and for 2/3 of price of 16 pro max or S24 Ultra chinese phones comes with 1000 times better specs.
            Comparing S24 ultra from Samsung which is available litterary everywhere and they put billions into advertising so their mediocre flagsip can sell well. Comparig this phone to chinese flagsips like Vivo X200 or Huawei 70 Ultra, Best Honor Magic Xiaomi 14 ultra etc. is not adequate.
            Some brands can afford to pay such big advertising like Samsung does and even if the could its useless.
            Good phones does not need any paid advertising because the best AD is the words of the people spread troughout the family, friends and the world i have this phone and were so happy with it.

              True to my pledge, if I want a flagship (candybar) smartphone, I want the most complete package one, from MicroSDXC to headphone jack, no notch, 2 step camera button, Front-Firing Stereo Speakers, and that (only) option? The Xperia 1 VI fulfilled the requirements so easily. It may not be perfect at all, it may not lead the chart like used to, it may not sell a lot, but hey, ending on the middle of the pack on the poll results considering the hate and widespread criticism it gets that dragged down for decades? It's doing decently for Sony Xperia standard these days, and that's I'm glad. And yes, I owned 8 Xperia throughout 14 years including my current Sony Xperia 1 II from 2020, so I ain't yapping here.

                  If I spend at least $1000 on a smartphone, it is safe to buy a Galaxy or Pixel in the Android world. I prioritize software over hardware.

                            I'm not surprised by the results. Samsung has a huge advantage. They've been selling the S24Ultra for almost five years. 🤣

But never forget that people could also buy any phone online these days, also this poliing is all about flagship. In many countries outside China where chinese flagship is available officially, people still prefer flagship from Samsung or iPhone.

                                  Anonymous, 14 hours agoMost important is make them globally availableBut gsmarena is globally available. Everyone can participate the polling survey.

                                  Also, anyone can buy any phone from anywhere through internet marketplace these days.

                                    It's quite surprising that the 16 Pro Max is ranked 5th... ROG is last? makes sense since it's overpriced..

                                    My question is, you missed my favorite flagship? What's that? quite a lot of people also choose that. Maybe cheaper flagship like Pixel 9, S24, X200 and Xiaomi 15?

                                      GAMIR3DH, 15 hours agoSo the comments don't reflect reality huh... i though ... morejust like the recent Xiaomi 15 poll for example a lot of hate in the comments and the poll results are mostly "yes I want one" basically every poll is like this for other brands too. I think polls like this can be accurate or not... I'm not too serious about this.
