Will this guide be updated from time to time?
It would be great to be able to get on the site anytime of the year and just be able to take a look at what is best right now in each slot. Many people nowadays would want to buy a phone quickly because their old device is completely unusable and they need a new one today. It is just overwhelming with the saturation of the market to spend weeks researching when you are in dire need of new device.

    Sony Xperia 1 is the most underrated phone of 2019. It si simply superb and it has the best display on the market by far !!!

My S10e and all the Sammy flagships have all the supported bands to be able to work across most of the globe. The Chinese brands do not, last time I checked. But if you want to dispute whether coverage should be a criterion at all, well an argument could be made either way, I'll grant you.

So maybe next time you wanna talk about a product. Read. Xiaomi sells very well and appeal to their audience in continents that are not yours. So chill. The population of China and India alone will humble you.

                          NYQWZN, 11 Dec 2019i have my oneplus 6t from day one, this is the first phone ... moreI have the same phone. Only issues I have with it: camera picture quality (I knew it wasn't that important to me when I bought it, just mentioning it) and 60 Hz screen. Otherwise it's a fantastic phone and feels very fast for a phone that only has a 60 Hz panel.

                            Just one happy Xperia 5 user passing by.
                            Very impressed by this phone. Totally worth the money, especially with discount I have got.

                              Strazzi, 27 Nov 2019We all know that Huawei doesnt excell in any department. Th... moreAlmost right, my friend. Huawei is tops in 1 department: they are the best at creating a supremely quirky and annoying Android skin.

                                Are you shittin' me? Nobody in North America has any use whatsoever for a Xiaomi phone; they don't work on our networks, and that's your #1 compact? Apples and oranges my friends. I'll keep my Galaxy S10e, thank you very much.

                                  Having low-light as part of the "con" for Mi Note 10 Pro, should actually take it away from the number 1 camera phone, shouldn't it?

                                        Xiaomi, vivo, Oppo, OnePlus, Huawei are miles ahead of American companies like Google and Apple in terms of innovation and better products.
