Ι have the fold4 and can only second the editor's choice. Definitely the best flagship for me. Not sure if it's the best for most people.

How can a foldable phone with crease and a gap be the best? it apparently sports the only two things that should not be seen on a foldable phone!

Shirleyboy, 14 Nov 2022Totally agree. For many, if you want more real estate you u... moreThe problem to me isn't even the thickness when folded. It's just that the phone has to have too much compromise to have an acceptable foldable factor. The camera is not the best, the inner screen, because it's made of flexible display, is VERY prone to damage, and a lot of games just doesn't scale well with such strange display ratio. And while I do sometimes wish that my S22 Ultra to have just a little more horizontal dimension because my hand is quite large and thus using the S-Pen on such a small area can be awkward, but that alone is not worth the compromises that come along with it.

For me, my top three flagship phone of 2022 has to be the Sony Xperia 1 iv, Vivo X80 Pro, and Xiaomi 12S Ultra, in that particular order. I put Xiaomi in third place because it will forever be a China-only model, so it's not going to be easy to import one and deal with the warranty status. Both Sony and Vivo phones are officially available in my country, so it's not going to be a problem for me to buy both of them at any time. That said, I put Vivo in second place because of the telephoto camera. Not only Sony can give variable continuous zoom for the Xperia 1 iv's telephoto camera, but it can also do native 4K/120fps video recording. More than that, Sony still keeps the still-relevant 3.5mm audio jack and microSD card support, so that ultimately gets my top vote.

Kinda disagree that the Z-Fold4 is on top tho. It should be a niche pick. IMO 1st and 2nd place should be S22 Ultra and 14 Pro Max, depending on whether you like an Android or Apple phone. Right now the foldable form factor is just too niche to be consider the undisputed best flagship

Phonewz, 31 Mar 2021What is a flagship phone?A flagship smartphone
Is supposed too be the best overall smartphone highest end model smartphone
A premium smartphone
With a 800 series Snapdragon processors or equal alternative paired with 90hz or 120hz oled screen
For example the the Sony Xperia 4 with 4k 120hz screen
Or the ASU ZenFone 8 filp with 90hz oled screen & flip up multi cameras good as main camera & selfie camera
Though in 2022 gaming smartphone do have overall better specs and hardware so if you want the best smartphones money can buy it will be a gaming smartphone the performance & software control overall the hardware is just superior on top of better power management battery settings and Extreme performance and responsive screen ultra fast screen
I know this because I used too buy flagship smartphones
But after using a gaming smartphone I see what I was missing out on

Hannan, 05 Sep 2021what about Meizu 18 pro. in my prospective it is much bette... more120 Hz only runs at 1080p
2K limited @60Hz
There's no plan to bring 2K 120 Hz for future update,
So far it's a China Only devices, there's no global launch or proper coverage talked bout that device. No info bout software update promises
Altough the specs look superior, well phone is not just about specs on paper my friend...

Anonymous, 03 Nov 2021S21 Ultra has lack of microSD slot listed in the cons, but ... moreThat's right, 13 Pro doesn't have micro sd card, I think the reason why they don't list it as a negative is because it's expected for iPhones to not have micro sd cards, just like Google and Oneplus, as all their phone didn't in the past. But Samsung's exclusion was unexpected, that's all. S20 had micro sd

Hello, I'm looking for a top mid-end/high-end premium phone to buy.
Currently I'm considering buying an OnePlus 9 Pro 12GB|256GB at €799.00 or Samsung S21+ 8GB|256GB at €930.00. If it wasn't for OnePlus direction change with their OS merge I wouldn't be so undecided. Samsung seems more stable at this point. Camera is not that much important for me, thus I won't pick the S21 just for this. I would like to have the phone for 3+ years and have OS support for that time. I was looking for a Pixel 6 initially, but the prices for that here are above 1000 euro and for the base variants ( Romania).
Between those 2 phones which one do you recommend? Or do you recommend something in that budget? 800-900 max Euro?

S21 Ultra has lack of microSD slot listed in the cons, but the 13 Pro Max doesn't. Does 13 Pro Max have a microSD slot that I don't know of?
