Which is the best smartphone brand?

OnePlus Nothing Samsung Xiaomi Motorola Google Huawei Apple Vivo Vote View Result OnePlus 8.93% Nothing 5.28% Samsung 39.71% Xiaomi 2.55% Motorola 2.73% Google 15.85% Huawei 4.19% Apple 17.49% Vivo 3.28% Votes 549 Clearly, Samsung is doing something special to win almost 40% of your votes. A distant second is Apple, followed closely by Google. Interestingly, OnePlus is sticking above the rest of the brands. However, the overall outcome is that smaller brands don’t stick much with you.

What’s the best software?

iOS Clean Android One UI Nothing OS OxygenOS Harmony OS Vote View Result iOS 19.26% Clean Android 36.19% One UI 29.96% Nothing OS 5.25% OxygenOS 6.03% Harmony OS 3.31% Votes 514 The dislike for Apple might be what unites Android fans, but Android interfaces are what separates them. Interestingly enough, the stock Android might be a uniting force worth exploring. Over 35% of you seem to like the so-called “clean” Android, available only on Google’s Pixel phones. Maybe the return of the Google Play Editions isn’t such a bad idea after all.

Which phone has the best camera system?

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Xiaomi 15 Ultra Oppo Find X8 Ultra iPhone 16 Pro Pixel 9 Pro Vote View Result Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra 34.73% Xiaomi 15 Ultra 9.78% Oppo Find X8 Ultra 11.98% iPhone 16 Pro 18.36% Pixel 9 Pro 25.15% Votes 501 What saddens me about these results is that Xiaomi’s Camera Grip and Leica partnership doesn’t seem to yield the results one would’ve hoped. Otherwise, that was one of the least surprising outcomes, considering how well the Galaxy S25 Ultra camera performs.

Which phone is the best value for money?

iPhone 16 Galaxy S25 Pixel 9 OnePlus 13 Vote View Result iPhone 16 10.32% Galaxy S25 23.28% Pixel 9 25.71% OnePlus 13 40.69% Votes 494 “Value for money” usually refers to cheap phones that perform better than their price suggests. However, some expensive phones provide amazing value, only for more money. OnePlus 13 is the most affordable of this bunch, so apparently, for you, a value flagship is the cheapest flagship, which is fine and fair.

Which is even better value for money?

Pixel 9a CMF Phone 2 Pro OnePlus 13R Galaxy A36 Nothing Phone (3a) Pro Moto G Vote View Result Pixel 9a 31.83% CMF Phone 2 Pro 15.48% OnePlus 13R 23.87% Galaxy A36 10.97% Nothing Phone (3a) Pro 12.26% Moto G 5.59% Votes 465 Here we’re in a more common “value for money” territory and your favorite is one of the most expensive phones of this bunch. However, it is really difficult to argue against the Pixel 9a’s quality and great price. I just expected a bit more love for the Moto G.

Which is the most innovative design these days?

Xiaomi 15 Ultra with a camera grip Vivo X200 Ultra with an external lens Pixel 9a with a bumpless camera Oppo’s ultra thin Find N5 That slim Galaxy S25 Edge Vote View Result Xiaomi 15 Ultra with a camera grip 11.59% Vivo X200 Ultra with an external lens 17.5% Pixel 9a with a bumpless camera 21.14% Oppo’s ultra thin Find N5 20% That slim Galaxy S25 Edge 29.77% Votes 440 This is proof that Xiaomi’s ideas for innovation don’t connect with you, and Samsung is your favorite brand. The fact that the rest of the so-called innovations got almost equal results is actually positive. There are various ideas out there, and they’re making some people happy.
