z fold 3 has been amazing. can't wait for z fold 4. Hopefully it becomes more like a regular flagship with little to no compromises, but only time will tell. Different aspect ratio for both screens, bigger screens (especially cover screen, it needs to be wider cause it's super narrow), better battery, dust resistance, s pen slot, faster charging, more storage options, better durability, and flagship cameras would make the z fold 4 probably one of the best phones of the year, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I was actually awaiting the S21 Ultra to be the at least the best high price or best phone 2021 because the Camera, the zoom, and in general it is a very pleasing to look at phone, which style wise it's the best my opinion, the only problem I would say it has since I don't know much about it is probably the charging speed, Xiaomi started making 120watt charging wired and I think 80watt wireless which is INSANE, the Pixel though is pretty neat for its price, but the style is acceptable I guess..

hey there.. amazing and exciting video as usual... I'm currently in the market looking for an android phone that will not give me any headaches for the next few years to come... previously I use p20 pro and currently on the nord. Oneplus disappointed me with the nord. Was really looking forward to own an oneplus phone. Unfortunately my experience with nord made me reluctant to try oneplus again. Im very much into the s21 ultra. Since its December, I'm wondering Iif i should proceed with purchasing the s21 ultra (exynos - that's what is available in Malaysia) or wait for the upcoming phone?

What i am always wondering with these rewievs. Is what about phones from last year. Maybe cheaper flagships that might have the best value. Sometimes buying th newest phones is not best value for money. Would love it included in the series, or in a new series.

[@mehshutup3041]

Mostly because the phone is almost a year old and S21 ultra is so far ahead on its time which makes it "good, but not the best" with how all android makes S21 Ultra as the benchmark for their flagships. Usually we got the Note series fighting on this end of year awards. Which usually wins in a lot of segments

I've owned every 2 generations of the S series since S4. To me S6 edge+ was a very amazing premium feeling where it has the aluminium sides and glass back/screen with an amazing battery life at that time of 6h+ on youtube, and the screen was very bright and super HD. Not to mention the first curved phone that actually has many features to it. Also fingerprint sensor which is very fast and reliable. S7 series was basically a copy of the S6 with some performance improvements, hence I dident get it. I then got the S8 (edge)+ which was one of the first phones with an amazing screen to body ratio which is what most phones company copied even til this day, much better gaming performance and a much better battery life at 8h+ on youtube/ 5-6h on games. Once again S9 is basically a copy of the S8 with minor spec buff so I dident get it. Then comes the S10+... Oh man this phone is a beast in every aspect possible when its released. The screen to body ratio is almost as if there isnt a bezel, insane stereo speakers, super premium feeling, the holepunch which actually looks kinda cool, in display fingerprint sensor that dosent use a bright light to blind you at night and it only requires one swift tap of less then 0.3 seconds to unlock, insane gaming performance to price ratio and battery life once again improved to over 12h on youtube easily. Im currently using this as my spare phone after I got my S21 series. Bought it on pre-release on march 2019 and there is literally no degrading over 3 years, battery still lasts over 12h on youtube and it can even run genshin at 60fps (tho other settings must be low). An amazing phone to recommend even in today's age as you can easily buy a new S10+ online for $200 or less. And to think its a phone released almost 3 years ago... S20 is just an upgraded S10 again with minor design change to the back, skipped once again. Then for the S21 series, I pre-ordered both the S21+ for my sis and the S21 ultra for myself, I've used the S21+ for about a month then the S21 ultra ever since. A few things to note is that the S21+ has a downgraded display of 1080p instead of 1440p, they removed the curved screen which I felt like it was a cool feature to have, and honestly battery wise even tho it has a huge upgrade, I dont feel much difference from the S10+ at about 12h on youtube/ 5-6h on demanding games, they removed the headphone jack and for some reason the speaker is slightly worst then the s10+ (in my opinion). Apart from that, the 120hz screen feels super fluid and I now can see the lag when I use my S10+ to browse stuff online, performance wise it has improved a lot and can now run genshin at max settings 60fps for about 30mins then it starts to slow down a bit. Also I love the S21+ design and the colour (violet with rose gold camera/bezel) and it has a very nice matt finish to it, on top of a nice camera improvement. Onto the S21 ultra, the 16gb of ram feels more like a gimmick then anything as I dont see any performance improvement compared to the S21+ 8gb, in fact I think the unused ram is jus draining battery. Performance wise almost no difference in games/ normal use, battery is very similar to the S21+/S10+ at 14-15h on youtube and 6h on super demanding games like genshin max settings despite the fact that its supposed to have a much better adaptive screen refresh rate compared to the S21+. It obviously looks more premium and has better display, but overall S21+ is much more value for money as battery and performance is very very similar and have a much slimmer, lighter feel to it.

Got my 13 Pro Max last week and I must say I’m still impressed over and over again every day about the battery life - it‘s really insane! Just yesterday I was doing a lot of work on the phone and had about close to 15h screen on time going from 100% down to 20% and that‘s mostly at half brightness, sometimes a little less but never lower than about a third of the slider and bluetooth and Wi-Fi on! I literally used the phone regularly from 7:30am to exactly 5am the next morning without charging it and with no major breaks 😅 and I still had about 18% left when I plugged it in

There should be a category for Power Users - which means phones that have been well-received by the open development community. Most phones in this list hasn't received enough developer attention, which means no Custom ROMS. I think the only one in the list that has enough development is the Poco F3. It's a big deal for power users, because it means you have phones that can be updated to the latest Android version beyond the support the manufacturer can promise. :) They're great at bringing new life to basically old phones.

I've had the Samsung A90 for a good 2 years now and quite honestly is the best phone I have ever bought. The only downside I have with it is the backing, being super glossy and really smooth that feels cheap and easily slip out of your hand but a simple case can solve that issue. I've been looking to possibly upgrade my phone but I haven't found a suitable replacement or one that's came close to the functionality and reliability of this phone. I still get 20-24 hours usage out of one charge and that's with using KZbin, Facebook, Twitter and some gaming on a regular basis.

[@yondisadventures1966]

You can upgrade to the Samsung flagship ie the note 20 ultra, s20 ultra, s21 ultra or even wait for the s22 next year.

[@cryogenicgaming7322]

Agreed, I had the A90 too. I upgraded to the Oppo Find X3 Pro. Honestly it was worth it. The A90 was amazing, but I love the Oppo. First time I've not had a Samsung. Disappointing the Oppo didn't have a spot in this list tbh because it's the S21 Ultras rival for £400 less.
