For me, 2023 felt a bit stale. Last year I even got excited about some of midrangers, but this time around I couldn't find one that stands out. Even the premium segment wasn't particularly impressive to me, so that's why I picked only four phones for my top list. One brand that's missing from my list is Samsung. Even though I'm not a huge Samsung fan, I've always liked the... Read more ›

With 2023 coming to an end, it’s time to reflect on what phones stood out. I like compact, premium devices and I'm certainly not a power user, an experienced photographer, or a heavy mobile gamer. The thing is, compact phones are hard to come by these days but Apple, Samsung and Google did offer one each. And while foldables are not intrinsically compact, Oppo and Samsung offered two great options... Read more ›
