Cah Nglayab, 23 Mar 2023A52s still holding...Hooray ! - I knew it my A52s was the best-bang-for the buck phone last year - when I got it for 22K PHp 256GB\8GB variant. No complaints that I can think of ... only wish list are bigger battery and wireless charging.

    A52s still holding...

            you people should publish new best smartphones buyers guide every month so that website visitors trust you

              Without doing regular updates, you're misleading people to buy older phones!

                Never, 21 Feb 2023I guess never, since the guide is for 2022 and S23 lineup i... moreThat's what i meant. Their main page link has no mention of the year, the year mention comes only when this page opens. Also this is the only buying guide on their website so either they need to publish a new buying guide for 2023 or update this one or just say that they have stopped publishing a buying guide.

                  Dave, 09 Feb 2023When is this list going to be updated with the S23 lineup?I guess never, since the guide is for 2022 and S23 lineup is for 2023 year.
                  But never the less - this is the best cameraphone overall on the market.

                                  The level of the tech industry is completely corrupted is beyond belief
                                  There even taking away the SD card slot so now a smartphone is barely even a smartphone anymore

                                  Everything turning into payed for monthly service
                                  And going wireless and clood based and spyware ads blootware etc

                                  The other thing I just can't stand is everything is made too break or and die and anti repair design no upgradability

                                  Artificial obsolete and locked down software with updates design too make the os too heavyer with higher system requirements and more system resources hungry os and even heavy os made too require new hardware and Handlecapping old hardware as old hardware is too underpowered too be able handle new software versions or run smoothly at all

                                  By ending support for old software version and end of life and for old os version it's making software problems that are purposely designed too artificial kill device
                                  The need for software updates and changes made with software is a fatel flow with technology that is Artificially made in order too kill off old tech
                                  By creating artificial obsolete with old software version with compatibility bugs made on purpose or make believe problems or changes made in order too crappy old tech
