These are the best smartphones of 2021. Yes, we had an argument over the iPhone again [RANKING]

When preparing this ranking, we took into account only those models that premiered in 2021. After counting all the votes (each of the editors awarded from 1 to 8 points), we managed to select the winner, although there was a small editorial quarrel along the way. One of the people, whose name we will not cite, could not get over that the iPhone 13 lost the title fight.

OnePlus 9 Pro Press materials

8th place. OnePlus 9 Pro – 10 points

The flagship killers decided to launch … a flagship. The OnePlus 9 Pro is great in your hand and the AMOLED screen gives you a great experience. Communing with OxygenOS is pure pleasure. The camera co-created with Hasselblad is a good step, only a dedicated application is missing from the ideal

Xiaomi 11T Pro Press materials

7th place. Xiaomi 11T Pro – 15 points

Great design, AMOLED screen with 120 Hz refresh, and the top Snapdragon 888 and 120W charging. Can you expect something more from an AD 2021 smartphone? Probably only a camera with optical image stabilization and a better night mode

Samsung Galaxy A52 5G Samsung Galaxy A52 5G

7th place. Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G – 15 points

The Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G, presented in 2021, is one of the best-priced smartphones of the Korean company. The A52s is powered by an efficient Snapdragon 778G processor, has a very decent and efficient camera with optical stabilization, a waterproof housing (IP67), stereo speakers and a capacious battery (4500 mAh). However, it impresses above all with the sensational Super AMOLED screen with 120Hz refreshing, characteristic for Samsung

Google Pixel 6 Google Pixel 6

7th place. Google Pixel 6 – 15 points

Google Pixel 6 caught my attention with a black stripe on the back of the housing. Someone finally dared to end the race for the most intriguing shape of the camera island. Pixel is worth appreciating not only for a fresh look, but also for the original Tensor layout. Many manufacturers have already quit the Apple Gauntlet and many have fallen. But the performance of the new processor from Google impressed me

OPPO Reno 6 Pro 5G OPPO Reno 6 Pro 5G

4th place. OPPO Reno 6 Pro 5G – 19 points

Choose this model if you want a good camera at a decent price. The fingerprint-resistant AMOLED screen also does not disappoint, and thanks to 5G it is a smartphone for years. ColorOS is another successful system overlay that is worth getting acquainted with. OPPO can also be praised for the vibration motor. It is a pity that there was no inductive charging

– Kacper Kolibabski.

iPhone 13 iPhone 13

3rd place. IPhone 13 – 22 points

There is no breakthrough, but no one was counting on a breakthrough. iPhone 13 is simply a beautiful and hellishly efficient smartphone (A15 Bionic is a real beast!) with a great camera and the most advanced video functions on the market of mobile devices. Apple finally worked on the battery, which was perhaps the biggest problem of the iPhone 12

– Daniel Maikowski.

LITTLE F3 LITTLE F3

2nd place. POCO F3 5G – 23 points

The fact that the POCO F3 5G was just behind the leader of our ranking is absolutely no coincidence. The infernally fast Snapdragon 870 with 5G network support, a beautifully-looking AMOLED screen with 120 HZ refresh, good-quality stereo speakers, a capacious battery with fast charging and three decent cameras is a set that could be found even in a much more expensive flagship. Meanwhile, the prices of POCO F3 start at a very reasonable ceiling of PLN 1400-1500 and are even two times lower than in the case of most devices with comparable capabilities. Can I stick to something? Of course. There is a lack of, for example, inductive charging, but this drawback – considering the price – can be turned a blind eye

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G

1st Place Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G – 25 points

Top camera, excellent performance and unique design – without meeting these requirements, no smartphone can bear the proud name of a “flagship”. But there is something else that matters. Stand out from the crowd of identical devices, an attempt to break the trend. Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G is a smartphone that certainly attracts attention. Due to the fact that it unfolds like a book, it can turn into a screen for watching TV series, a sketchbook or a miniature “laptop” that we put on the desk. With Fold 3, we were also delighted with the Dynamic AMOLED screen with a frequency of 120 Hz. Samsung’s new “folder” seems to be a more functional device than its predecessor, and the five-anometer processor and 12 GB of RAM are a guarantee of excellent performance. Fold 3 can set a trend in the market. Even if the pocket that is extremely stuffed by it, not too large battery and the need to buy a stylus, leave a certain dissatisfaction
