    I thought this is a site where people understand, and although this is already 2025, the poco i had- one of the worst phones I've ever had , not worth even 100$ .
    And asus? I have it now, dying to throw it away, worst spend in my life, camera bugs, crushes a lot and get hot like crazy.

    Yet one of the best phones I've ever had was never in your lists and idk why, Sony xperia is probably the best phone , and i will be even more "brave" to say that it's probably the best ever made ... unfortunately sony has a bad branding crew and they are not selling it in my country.

        Tyfyh, 12 Jan 2025This used to be the feature of gsmarena... But now seeing a... moreTotally agree. This list, today, is practically worthless.

          This used to be the feature of gsmarena... But now seeing as it's updated less than in 6 month, you can't trust this sheet

            Update the list please 😔

              2024 is almost over, please update the list, Gsmarena.

                There is no way the S24 Ultra is #1. There is so many phones that are better like OnePlus, Honor, Vivo, etc.

                And why do you put 15 Pro Max instead of 16 Pro Max in US Market? The 15 Pro Maz isn’t even in the Apple Store anymore.

                And lastly the best camera phone is Xiaomi 15 Pro.

                  why does nothing cost 300 euros?

                      ulv, 16 Dec 2024Less is more. Apple's silicon is top.it's the most overrated tech ever.
                      P.S. what do you gsmarena say about updating the list for Christmas time?

                        ulv, 16 Dec 2024Less is more. Apple's silicon is top.no, apple's limiting of "120hz apps" to 80 and aggressive limits on background activity are on top.

                                  Where are the Vivos?

                                  is ok that they are not worldwide global availables but people can buy in some way and if the people wish the best camera... the Vivos (X series) must be between the options
                                  then why can not be recommended in you buyer's guide? even if the distribution and warranty could be a big CON still have several PROS... then.... please

It depends upon how much the processor, the screen and the other parts consumes the battery, and it varies on the quality of those. A 6000 mAh battery sounds like a big amount of battery, but it can't be utilized if it comes with a bad processor or other parts. Opposite goes with an iPhone which gives a decent battery capacity, but the processor consumes much less of it to do works and gives longer backup. ( I'm an android user tho )
