Clearly, Samsung is doing something special to win almost 40% of your votes. A distant second is Apple, followed closely by Google. Interestingly, OnePlus is sticking above the rest of the brands. However, the overall outcome is that smaller brands don’t stick much with you.
What’s the best software?
iOS
19.26%
Clean Android
36.19%
One UI
29.96%
Nothing OS

The dislike for Apple might be what unites Android fans, but Android interfaces are what separates them. Interestingly enough, the stock Android might be a uniting force worth exploring. Over 35% of you seem to like the so-called “clean” Android, available only on Google’s Pixel phones. Maybe the return of the Google Play Editions isn’t such a bad idea after all.
Which phone has the best camera system?
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
34.73%
Xiaomi 15 Ultra

Oppo Find X8 Ultra
11.98%
iPhone 16 Pro

Pixel 9 Pro

What saddens me about these results is that Xiaomi’s Camera Grip and Leica partnership doesn’t seem to yield the results one would’ve hoped. Otherwise, that was one of the least surprising outcomes, considering how well the Galaxy S25 Ultra camera performs.

“Value for money” usually refers to cheap phones that perform better than their price suggests. However, some expensive phones provide amazing value, only for more money. OnePlus 13 is the most affordable of this bunch, so apparently, for you, a value flagship is the cheapest flagship, which is fine and fair.
Which is even better value for money?
Pixel 9a

CMF Phone 2 Pro

Here we’re in a more common “value for money” territory and your favorite is one of the most expensive phones of this bunch. However, it is really difficult to argue against the Pixel 9a’s quality and great price. I just expected a bit more love for the Moto G.
Which is the most innovative design these days?
Xiaomi 15 Ultra with a camera grip

This is proof that Xiaomi’s ideas for innovation don’t connect with you, and Samsung is your favorite brand. The fact that the rest of the so-called innovations got almost equal results is actually positive. There are various ideas out there, and they’re making some people happy.
