Last week, Mr. Brownlee conducted a blind test of smartphone cameras, and there was an accident that the Pixel 5a reigned at the top, but this time he strictly selected the best smartphone from nine categories. >Smartphone of the Year” rating was newly implemented.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 wins this award. The large foldable phone sports a 7.4-inch display, almost an inch larger than the 6.68-inch display on Apple's largest device, the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Apple dropped out of the prestigious award, but Samsung won the same award with another device, the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Asus' ROG Phone 5 also won the award.

Apple won the Best Small Smartphone Award with the iPhone13 mini. The iPhone 13 mini addresses the 12 mini's battery life weakness, making it a stronger contender this year, but the mini is predicted to be out of the iPhone 14 lineup. Samsung's folding smartphone Galaxy Z Flip 3 is the runner-up.

Google's Pixel 5a may have won the blind camera test, but you can't judge a phone camera's performance beyond a few shots. From the perspective of a comprehensive camera-equipped smartphone that includes video, Mr. Brownlee awarded the iPhone13 Pro the Best Camera Award. The iPhone took the top spot here, but Google's own device was mentioned for the first time, with the Pixel 6 Pro and Vivo X70 Pro Plus in second place, along with the Pixel 5a as an honorable mention.

iPhone13 Pro Max wins the Best Battery award for its high-efficiency custom silicon and software integration. Of course, the ProMotion variable refresh rate also helps with battery life. In addition to smoother scrolling at 120Hz, the refresh rate can be lowered to save battery when nothing is moving on the screen.

Design awards are perhaps the most subjective of all Brownlee awards, but this year his design award went to Samsung's Galaxy S21 Ultra. The runners-up were the Oppo Find x3 Pro, Oppo Reno 6 and Legion Phone.

With the best camera, great design, longer software support than any other Android phone, and a very long battery life, Google's affordable $599 flagship smartphone. Pixel 6 won the best value award.

Microsoft's Surface Duo 2 folds out two separate screens, but the hardware and software behind this unique approach don't give you the experience you're looking for at its hefty price tag. , has been selected as the failure of the year.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra, which has greatly evolved the camera from the S20, has been selected as the "most improved" smartphone.

The question remains whether this year's best smartphone, Apple or Samsung, was selected by Mr. Brownlee. It was the S21 Ultra. Apple won second place with the iPhone13 Pro, and it was an honorable mention with Google's Pixel 6 deals. Source: Marques Brownlee/YouTube via 9to5Mac(lexi)
