* TOP SoftwareMidrange

EDITORIAL: Honor improved it's midrange offering with a (last year top) flagship chip, a great screen, a 200MP main camera and a 6 year long support for OS updates. Both main and telephoto cameras produce great shots in all conditions. A 2nd (FOV) lense on the front makes up for lack of AF on a 50MP selfie and also delivers iPhone-like face unlock. What a shame that there is no video out from the very slow USB-C port.

PROs
excellent SD 8 Gen 3 performance, >30hr life from a 5300mAh Si/C battery with sub-40min 100W (50W wireless) charging, excellent pics from a 200MP OIS main + 50MP OIS tele + 12MP ultrawide (all PDAF) back cameras, excellent 50MP selfie with a FOV second lens and 6 years of OS updates
CONs
slow USB-C port, no video out, memory expansion or desktop replacement functionality

7+7+11+12+12+5+3+0+5+5 = 67

EDITORIAL: Samsung’s top of the line contact in 2023 is still a good flagship. Great build, fast SnapDragon 8 Gen 2 performance (iPhone 15 Pro Max level) with more years of One UI updates and regular security patches make it a relevant smartphone while many of it’s peers are being retired. Excellent selfie too.

PROs
still good SD 8 Gen 2 with UFS4.0 (the 128GB version gets UFS3.1) performance, HDR10+ screen with >430ppi resolution, great photos and videos from a 50MP main + 10MP tele (both with OIS PDAF) + 12MP ultrawide, a very competent 12MP PDAF selfie, years of OS and security updates and of course: DeX software
CONs
less-than-a-day 3900mAh battery with >1hr charging and no memory expansion (updated Apr 28, 2025)
