Top 10 Mobile Phones 2022
It's 2022. And let's be honest, smartphones have never been as confusing as they are right now. We've got flagships, we've got midrange just pretending to be flagships. We've got foldables rollables mini phones, massive phones. So I'm just going to lay it down as it is. I'm gonna show you the best phone for each of the seven different kinds of user leading up to the best overall phone of the year so far, and then topped off with the worst phone, which we're going to punish on camera. So let's start with the design conscious user. For those of you who really value the look and the feel of a smartphone, 2022 has been a great year. I really like how Samsung streamlined their S 21 Ultra with the new S 22 Ultra, the Xiaomi has similar blow up their Mi Twelve Pro. It looks way cleaner than last year's Mi Eleven, but I think the most design conscious device is actually from Sony. The Sony's new Xperia One Mark Four. From a hardware perspective, at least, it's an absolute pleasure.
enough that it fits perfectly in your palm. It's got a matte finish that says goodbye to fingerprints, a dedicated camera shutter button, and even a SIM card and micro SD card tray that you can access with just your fingers. All right, brand new category time, because this year, I also want to award the most ecoconscious phone. No, not getting points for excluding the charger. There's three companies that stand out here. One is Nokia, who started doing a lot of different things to play their part. Like they give good software support and large batteries so your phone lasts as long as possible. They give at least two years of warranty for repairs in case something goes wrong. And they even plant trees for every single purchase. One is Apple, whose latest devices are made from about 20% recycled materials, like even used water bottles. Plus, Apple is ahead when it comes to offsetting the pollution caused by its manufacturing with other green projects that they invest in. And their phones
also have the longest life cycle when it comes to updates. But if you wanted to go all in on the EcoFriend, there is only one phone for you. This is kind of like a run of the mill $500 phone, but with its screen and specs downgraded and then all of that extra budget used to make it as sustainable as possible. I mean, even its presentation is about its own lateral as you can get. They built it such that the entire thing can be taken apart with your fingers and a simple screwdriver, so it's extremely repairable. The company promises that for every phone they sell, they'll recycle an equal amount of electronic waste. Plus, the system doesn't come with, like, one year or two years of warranty up to five. It's almost not fair to the other phones. Now, what if you've got smaller hands, though? I'm doing this minor. Enormous. It is a genuine problem though. You have the budget, you want the best phone you can get, but most good devices are the size of your face. Well, thankfully, Samsung has actually
done a really good job with their base, Galaxy S 22. It isn't anything special in the hardware department, but it is cheaper than last year's S 21 and it's just so polished with such a dinky little device. Plus there is also the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. It three, which, because it folds, is even more compact. Both of these are capable phones for their size. I would just be a little careful if you're a real enthusiast and you want your top tier battery life. The other good option is the iPhone 13 Moon. Apple has also released an updated iPhone Se this year, which is also small, but it's so far behind when it comes to the screen quality and the camera quality. But it doesn't really feel worth two thirds of the asking price of the 13 mini, which dare I say, is actually quite good value. But if you want the absolute best value compatible of the year, there's a wait a little because I think there is a very strong chance that it's going to be with Google Pixel Six A. It's releasing in July,
I haven't used it yet. But Google's as so far, they have smashed it every single time. They are affordable, clean, intelligent phones that also happen to take some of the best photos that money can buy. And so it's looking like the Six A is going to make quite an impact for around $450. OK, we need to talk about gaming. I feel like we are on the cusp of a smartphone gaming Grenada. After years of the top trending games being subway surfers and cookie clicker and text or die, we're finally about to get some heavy hitters. We've just had Apex Legends, the most screened game in the world right now. Balloon is coming, the second most streamed game. We're even getting a Call of Duty warzone for smartphones. And so when you combine this influx of titles with the fact that most top end mobile chips, they now require significant cooling to actually retain their best performance, there was increasing merit to having a gaming phone. We can focus on that. And there are three really good options right Now.
