What was YOUR personal phone of the year? 👀
S24 ultra user the phone of 2024
what about oppo find x8?
I would go for Samsung s24+. Pixel phone have many issues
Why wouldnt you pick it Google owns android. I have geard so many people compkainjng of build qualit6, issues with thE TENSOR G4 AND thernal management , phone constantky having issues with the overall software etc…how can that be why you chose it as number 1.
The one who has lots ofcustomization, screen sound and cameras
VivoX200 pro
….There are many other, vastly superior options other than the "big 3" (Samsung, Google, iPhone) that keep getting rammed down our throats in North America.
What about the Xiaomi 14 Ultra? Sony Xperia 1 VI? Vivo X100 Ultra? Honor Magic 6 Pro? Huawei Pura 70 Ultra?
Or next year, the Oppo X8, Xiaomi 15, Vivo X200 will all have Global and European releases.
Pixel 9 pro wins…s24 ultra only came out because to people on Facebook Samsung is the best android phone. To people that are actually savvy they know the pixel has been the best android phone in the US for the last three years.
I have the base pixel 9 and the photos are terrible. It seems to struggle with focus and cannot pickup details. Battery life is not great and the UI is so old and un-customizable. The phone will only fast charge on a Pixel Stand. No other wireless charger will fast charge the base pixel.
Lol at how the P9P doesn't recognize your fingerprint at 2:28
AA tried so hard to give it to shitsel series, and make the pro and pro XL one phone to give them POTY, but people have power and they spoke the unbiased truth crwoning the S24 ultra the rightful winner, Pixel series with that subpar hardware is a crime and ripping customers from their hard earned money.
The SOC in the Pixels can't even run all the software of today, so 7 years of updates are basically moot IMO.. At least they finally have respectable battery life..
Tensor is unacceptable for flagship pricing
Have been using the P9XL since launched, great device but I miss the S24U. So when the S25U comes out I'm going back.
Honor Magic 6 Pro
OnePlus 12 is my choice.
Is this channel about phones in America or phones in general? Disappointing video
S24 ultra easily the best phone this year
Hmmm, a phone not offered by carriers made the list?? How's that possible?
Oneplus 12 is the phone of the year, I might be a lil bias here lol
Votes from X don’t matter
samsung sound assistance is game changer
Forget this voting
Oneplus 12 is so underrated. Hope people will appreciate the 13 more because it is going to be a killer phone with 6000mah battery and snaldragon elite.
Great content. I'm still rocking the s23 ultra. With all the upgrades, it's gotten no reason to upgrade unless the s25 ultra knocks my socks off.
Pixel 9 pro xl!
This is the first year any pixel phone has been on par with the best phones. How the hell did the pixel 7 pro ever win. Slow processor, poor battery, over heating, poor video. Every Samsung phone at the time, even the A series was a better choice.
Some people take this wayyyyy too seriously
Shout out to Google and Samsung! Amazing brands
Where is Honor phone and Huawei?😂😂😂😂
If you combine the pixel 9… Then you have to combine the Samsung 24 series also
With its battery and inferior soc, pixel is out of equation for me
2:30 best camera system? 🤣
This list is an absolute joke 😂😂😂😂
what happened with vivo x200 pro or oppo find x8 pro?
I think Iphone 16 pro doez not dezerve this high.Its just popularity
My best is the s24 plus. My most improved is the Google Pixel 9 pro series.
So basically a phone with midrange processor is the phone of the year?
Combining the votes of 2 pixel phones would be unfair to the GU phone because the pixels are 2 distinctively different phones because their sizes matter to customers. It's a major factor and the Galaxy Ultra numbers are it's own despite it's size/form factor.
where is my iphone 16 pro max . you are joking poor people believe in poor quality and call it the best
DISAGREE.
No doubt VIVO X200 PRO THE BEST EVER PHONE OVERALL â¤ðŸ˜ŠðŸ˜…😮
Who the hell uses Threads?
