Basically everyone has asked the question but I may as well ask anyway - when are you guys planning to update this list? The last update was on June 30th and there has been a lot of phones since then.

Unless you guys are waiting to update this to a 'Best smartphones of 2022' buyer's guide instead.

Marques said the launch price for the Pixel 6 would be around 700-750, the S21 probs cost around same, as it launched at 800 and it's been half a year. Thing is, If you are fine with 90Hz and no telephoto, you could get a Pixel 5 and save some money, but otherwise, S21 fe is probs a sweeter deal.

RandyRiffin, 24 Sep 2021Pixel 6 is great phone with clean software and excellent cameras👍We don't know that yet :)

Phone Reviewer, 01 Aug 2021No mention of OnePlus 9 Pro anywhere? Not even in flagship ... more"Phone Reviewer" Oneplus 9 Pro is way too expensive for what it is, as GSMArena said "the cameras offer very little meaningful improvements over its predecessors. The colour calibration is not even perfect, which is the main intent of the phone, and photos come out "fuzzy" even less detailed than Oneplus 8 pro. Only night shots are good. You could get the Oneplus 8 Pro for less money and gain more battery life on the way (!)

Secondly, the reason they put Poco F3 as best battery is because it not only has great battery but also a lot of other very nice things, such as really fast hardware and great screen. Other phones such as the Samsung A42, Realme 8 and Poco M3 all have outstanding battery life but lack these important features.

Lastly, the S21 is a flagship killer as it has flagship specs (like a 120 Hz Oled and SD 888) at a low price ($800). They ought to update premium allrounders list, as now the Oneplus Nord 2 is more suitable (with 65W charging, faster Dimensity chipset and flagship camera). But I agree, the iPhone is pretty trash.
