After previously each editor Mobilissimo presented you with a top 10 mid-range phones on 2021, now is the time to move to rankings that include high-end smartphones.k.a flagship if you want.And in this product segment we had launched many interesting options throughout the year.We had devoted producers who only decided to improve the phones launched last year, keeping the design, but also companies that risked through fresh designs and latest technologies..
I would characterize the year 2021 as one year of maturation and the year put under the sign of fast loading, this being the technology that attracted the most of all I think I.We also had no foldables launched with improved designs, gaming models that, as well as phones that decided to implement technologies at the beginning of the road as is the case of the Selfie camera that still do not deliver as expected.
Without staying at the taclale, you have below the 10 high-end phones in my personal top!You can vote for the high-end phone in your opinion, readers, right here!
10.Asus Zenfone 8
A phone that not many people expected wasAsus Zenfone 8, and here I refer especially to dimensions.We rarely see we see the diagonal phones below 6 inch, but he did it and came to the fixed fans who were looking for a compact flagship with state-of-the-art processor, OIS room (either dual),stereo speakers and where do you get I also received IP68 certification.I see him as a rival in the Android world for theiPhone 13 mini, but a problem has been on their debut and is still limited availability, which does not leave much of price cuts.As if the minimum threshold was somewhere around 2500 lei.
9.Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3
I liked what Samsung did this year with the Galaxy Z Flip3, the frying with a new generation flap that was placed on the summer market with the older brother Z Fold3.I remember seeing him for the first time about a week before the official debut, during a preview event organized in Bucharest.At the first contact I liked visual changes and seems to have listened to public feedback.
Larger external screen checked, more color -ticked color options and IP certification again checked.Moreover, I also received stereo speakers.I consider this foldable format the ideal one for me and by the way of customization, Flip3 also received a special Bespoke program to be personalized as you like visually.
8.iPhone 13 mini
If one day I would wake up and say ready with the phones that occupy all my pocket pocket then clear iPhone 13 mini would be my chosen.There is some nostalgia, it takes me more with the thought of iPhone 4/4s than the other models in the series and this has to do with its compact dimensions.Is smaller than Zenfone 8 to the 5.4 inch of his, very maneuverable with one hand and now with improvements to the predecessor from whom there were complaints in terms of autonomy.He does not have 120Hz, not even 90Hz, but he would not need it, it's the simple, small and always handy phone you couldn't know in your life.
7.OnePlus 9 Pro
A place in my ranking is worth theOnePlus 9 Pro, the inaugural flagship for the partnership with Hasselblad that gives hope to fans that good things will happen in the future at the level of shooting.Somehow this terminal seemed to me a "good" one, without having something to highlight it against competitors, but nevertheless the fluid software combined with the super screen delivered by Samsung and the high-end hardware, L-have transformed into an ideal choice for many.Perhaps the biggest impediment in his choice is the price, 3 times higher than the amount at which the first flagship of the company debuted.Year after year the prices have increased, and now without 1000 euros you can not go home with the best OnePlus.
6.Asus Rog Phone 5S Pro
If so far we have discussed criteria such as dimensions, with ASUS ROG Phone 5S Pro we no longer take into account this but only the performance delivered to high odds.It came at the end of summer 2021, with the new SD888+ processor on board and keeping the bulk of ROG PHONE 5 PRO.It is a gaming mammoth, with stereo speakers, 6000 mAh battery, storage as well as a billion color screen and refresh rate than your monitor..
5.Xiaomi 11t pro
A smartphone that broke the tops of the fast charging this year was theXiaomi 11t pro, the first 120W power phone that arrived in Romania, a true flagship otherwise.It proposes all the best, from the Snapdragon 888 processor, to much storage and RAM, and the screen is not more (AMOLED 120Hz) and the camera that puts a 108 MPX main module, as well as 8K shooting.AI Wi-Fi 6 for dizzying speeds, stereo speakers tuned by Harman Kardon for a great audio experience and no longer be careful that you are leaving home with too little battery.In our tests it reached 0 to 60% in just 16 minutes!
4.Pixel 6 Pro
This year and Google were able to stir up the users, through the Pixel 6 smartphones that intrigue through that back panel design that leads me to the robot and its viewfinder..Pixel 6 Pro is the absolute flagship in Duo, the phone that marks the start of a new design line and the tensor processor.We have a great screen, cameras, stereo speakers, big rapid charging battery and we tick many of the aspects that a high-end user is looking for.He also received super offers at the beginning (in the countries where he arrived officially), comes with the advantage of fast updates and software support, and the bugs start slowly and the user experience stabilizes.Pixel 6 Pro E and Virtual Key to the newer car, with the updates received.
3.Xiaomi mi 11 ultra
This year's Xiaomi mammoth was calledXiaomi mi 11 ultra and if the name did not suggest enough that it was the replica for the Galaxy S20/S21 Ultra, then the huge photo mode in the back did this.Xiaomi took a smartband screen and put it behind the phone for a unique module, usually seen through patents or smartphone concepts.The camera was first put here and delivered us to the expectations, from 8K shooting, to super ultra-wide photos and 5x optical zoom..He also brought Stereo Harman Kardon speakers for quality acoustics, and the screen is another cherry on the cake, one WQHD+ of 120Hz and how otherwise AMOLED.I liked to see the super fast charging at 67W wireless, something that would clearly make me put my wireless loading pads or furniture with wireless charger from IKEA.
2.Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra
From the Ultra series I had in 2021 present at the stations and on theSamsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, a real mammoth that surprised at the beginning through the huge rear photo mode, maybe more than the Xiaomi rival.It's simple here, if you want everything to offer Samsung at the moment and are not afraid of the big diagonal and the weight of over 200 grams, then the S21 Ultra is the smartphone you choose.It has a large and immersive screen for consuming any kind of content, a capable processor, stereo speakers that complete the visual experience and of course a camera as you do not see at the moment, one with 4 sensors, 8K shooting and 10x optical zoom.you catch and the flight of Santa.
It is a well-closed smartphone and delivers as expected, even with the small bugs it had at the beginning being the smartphone to choose for generous budget and who do not yet consider the foldable a wise purchase..It is also addressed to the fans notes from the perspective of S Pen support, although it is a bit difficult to walk with that hub after you to have the accessory at any time, but sacrifices can be done.I think it would be the ideal phone to take at concerts or at the MWC or IFA press events I have attended in the past, for super cadres with optical zoom..
1.iPhone 13 Pro Max
The winner of this year of place 1 in my top isiPhone 13 Pro Max and this is due to a cumulation of factors.I consider it a balanced phone, with everything, from an ideal fluid software experience, to ready -to -action cameras and with great results to just a button and up to a superb screen that receives a refresh rate of 120Hz.Brought notable upgrades to the predecessor, ticking screen, processor, camera, as well as battery.
I know, I know, the design has remained the same, but I consider it one that defines the iPhone today, the flat edges have that retro vibe from iPhone 4, and those who considered the brace too "in the eyes", now have one moresmall, Apple succeeding in reducing its size by shrinking Face ID components and moving the earpiece above.The battery received a major upgrade from the 3687 mAh on 12 Pro Max to 4352 mAh, increased the speed of loading, and the autonomy is praised by all, being an iPhone that resists with a demanding day of use..Many upgrades, perhaps most seen from one generation to another by iPhone.For me at this time represents the phone I would choose as a Daily-Driver, a balance of balance.I like the design, screen, room, premium quality delivered and software experience delivered.
Conclusion:
I could say that the year 2021 was a year of upgrades, a year in which I saw all kinds of terminals and it seemed more noise in the foldable area.The end of the 12 months also marked the launch of smartphones on which I would have liked to contact, namely Oppo Find N and Huawei P50 Pocket, new foldables that promise interesting things.Easy-soil also increases the portfolio of such devices, and Samsung went so far that he decided to give up the notes series in the idea of turning Z Fold3 into the number 1 productivity tool.
I liked that I also had compact smartphones, companies such as Google that did not hesitate to experiment with unique designs, as well as companies like Samsung who realized that the world also wants to customize for devicesThat Bespoke program for Z Flip3 by which you have not just a phone, you have a custom phone as you like, a phone that represents you.In 2022 I expect to see even more foldable, a price drop and maybe get rid of the hero's boxes, something that at the moment I am doing to hesitate to choose a foldable.
