Very suspicious to me...
After reading that one brand was caught paying people to bash Htc years ago, nothing would surprise me.

Suprised to see Asus 5 or Asus 5z not mentioned here.
The Asus 5z is a very good alternative to the PocoFone

XZ3 and XZ2 must be in flagship section... along with XZ2 Premium which also should be in Best camera section(the 3 of them has great cameras more XZ2 Premium.... what a pathetic people who rules on this site.....they work under the shoes of samsung and apple.

I found this article rather good and helpful.
I would, however, agree that XZ2 Compact should have definitely been on this list. I admit that while Sony's UI might be lackluster and slow with android updates, this phone is still an amazing all rounder I'd say.
The OnePlus 6 should've been there too. It's barely that old and tbh I consider it better than the OP6T.
A good article nonetheless GSMArena.

Maky phone nerd, 22 Nov 2018Finally someone who cares about Sony!!!Sony not making beautiful and awesome smartphones is a conspiracy theory. The reviewers are either blind or paid by some cheap companies. Sony, I think, along with Samsung are the only brands that stick to its heritage. Sony may not have the thinnest bezels, but I think it makes them unique and beautiful. I hope, both Samsung and Sony would not consider replacing their current design with notches which clearly is a copy from the PH-1 and later the iPhone X.

[deleted post]You really are truth sayer. xd. Hey, but not all Indians are poor. I have Indian friends, and I felt offended by this comment. However, I do agree with some Indians worshipping Chinese smartphone brands, and its quite annoying actually. Still, my Indian friends settle with either OnePlus, iPhone, Nokia or Samsung. Most of them have Nokia 7 Plus, and some got the Note 9. They care less about Chinese phones.

[deleted post]Many Xiaomi phones DO have great value proposition so they deserve to be mentioned here. Nothing wrong with that.

There's one category missing - durable. But I guess it would be almost empty, since all good phones are fragile glass sandwiches...

Chavis, 22 Nov 2018The category of camera-centric phones is capped at 600 euro... moreIt costs less than 700 in Asia already..
You guys forgot to make the MEDIA CONSUMPTION category. Where it could easily fit.
The only phone that can play 4K rec2020 videos recorded by itself...
The screen of XZ2P is 144Hz, hidden in developers mode. All X flagships are 120Hz, even few midranges are liike X, Xc and XA2 trinity.
It can be gaming phone too...
By the way, accordking to your photo tool no phone has better samples than xz2/xz3 ...
Try to set a ISO above 800 on Note 9, shots will look much worse than xz3. It is not fair to compare a photo ISO250 against ISO800 when both have similar hardware.

Gsmarena considers SD630 as subpar performance..
It is stronger than 801.
