I like your list very much - informative and useful, thank you!
Just one request/suggestion:
The list will be even more useful if there are TWO phones in each category, say a runner-up as well!
Please give it a serious thought, thank you!

And even with the razr 50 ultra’s big cover screen, doing most things on the cover screen is pretty annoying, so you’ll want to unfold it most of the time. The iPhone 13 mini is definitely still the best small phone

For anyone using the best antivirus for Windows 11, you’ll be impressed by how seamlessly it integrates with the operating system!

So everyone is going to forget the fact that the Sony Xperia 1 VI absolutely destroyed every single other phone in battery life, yet they keep the iPhone 15 Pro Max as the poster boy for battery life? Don't get me wrong, the Sony might not be an overall better phone, but when it comes to battery, it's by far the best one on average consumer phones (not including the rugged phones).

JoeM, 13 Sep 2024Oneplus 12 is missing - one of the best phones of 2024 !This whole ranking is messed up. Can guess why. Hasselblad did (not) land on the moon. Hasselblad did not even crash on the moon. Hasselblad did not because we did not.

I cant't belive you threw out the Redmi note 13 Pro Plus. It's an overall fabulous phone, very welll balanced, fast charge, great display ecc ecc. And it's found now at very interesting prices. No contest wit the mediocre motorola you put in the guide

Or that the specs are actually close to what the manufacturers say? Or make a conference call? Or the outside noise making the video recordings meh?
Call it the stabile ratings, not mobile. Or maybe the closed brain cell ratings.
Oh, I'm not complaining. I'm not watching 'em.

Would not any flip phone be in the compact category? Oh, if so the iPhone mini would not make it. Hmm, funny how impartial editors think.
