The Worst trends are, in order of importance:
1. Removing the 3.5mm headset jack.
2. Making the corners of the screen rounded rather than using all of the space available in the corners - form over function.
3. Ugly notches.

Looking at the leaked render of XZ4, however, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the case.

Also last time I saw the low light camera comparison between XZ2 Premium and iPhone XS Max, iPhone was literally taking a dump on Xperia. XZ3 isn't really a horrible low light performer per se but if you want to say that its camera is good then you probably don't want to compare it to iPhone which is IMO the best cameraphone of the year.

HP, 30 Dec 2018Xiaomi is a clear winner in 2018. Read all the article and ... moreI bet you've not even held the XZ3, the battery lasts as long as most and adapts to your usage and charging cycle, easily the best screen on any smartphone, gorgeous build quality and design, about one of the very few phones with Android Pie other than Pixels, OP and Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
A really good camera, youtube the comparison with IP Xs Max, excellent low light performance. The only criticism from me would be the universal one regarding the lack of headphone jack but all OEMs are conning people with that.

Best trend Poco and Pricing of simillar phones.
Worst trend Notch, more notches, even more notches and Samsung curved screen on every Samsung phone.
The last thing is worst if you have to glue like a 20 screen protectors a day.
I really hate curved screens made by Samsung.

I like how you put OnePlus in the same sentence as Apple and Google. Just shows how it has become a normal company with incremental improvements over the years at higher prices, just as the other big makers. Yet there are still people praising them for being a rebel company, pffft

Which is useless for both people who like big screens and for people who like small phones. It will always be too tall and too small at the same time. 21:9 Will be a nightmare and they are already starting to use it.

From my point of view this year was the worst since I became more interested in mobile technologies (which was about 2002)…
Less innovation, more marketing and boasting. More cameras with lower quality, the so-called AI features made the results even worse. The neverending story of performance and benchmark races, but with no real effect, since programming became less and less effective. New versions of operating systems with many problems (especially iOS), but the price of phones gets higher and higher. The stupid and ugly notches and holes of all kinds on top of it all...
And what's the worst - I see no improvement for 2019.
