* BEST phone Fall Winter 2022* TOP Software* TOP Video Recording* TOP Selfie
EDITORIAL: The best 2022 Apple phone still holds it's ground - it was a great phone to begin with but with Apple's (very) incremental annual improvements, it's successors didn't get that much better. A great option even in 2025, especially if you're stuck in Apple ecosystem.

EDITORIAL: Another great effort from Vivo. Downgraded UFS speed, camera and a non-LTPO screen but otherwise very close to Vivo X200 Pro in performance, battery endurance, fast charging and screen quality. Highly recommended it you can get the 512GB version, not available everywhere.

very fast performance by UFS4.0 and Dimensity 9400, 36hr endurance from a 5800mAh Si/C anode battery with sub-40min 90W charging, >1500nits 460ppi 120Hz OLED screen with HDR10+ and >2000Hz PWM dimming frequency, IP69 protection, excellent 50MP 23mm main + very good 50MP 70mm telephoto (both OIS PDAF) + very good 50MP 15mm ultrawide setup,
CONs
non-LTPO screen locked at 60Hz, 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate, average 32MP non-AF selfie, average video recording, no expandable memory, low number of (years of) OS updates, no desktop replacement feature
