| Top 5 Best Smartphones in the world | best mobiles 2022 | bestmobiles200.

INTRODUCTION:

 What's up, guys?SuperSafe here, and believe it or not we're almost halfway through 2022 already. Time really does fly. And, so far this year we've had some amazing smartphones already. Now, like I've been doing for the past few years, halfway through the year do give you my top five personal picks of the year so far. Now, before we get into the list, a few disclaimers. I've tested a lot of smartphones this year, but obviously, I've not tested every single one. So there may be a smartphone that you think should have been featured, which hasn't been. This is my personal top five lists. It might be different from your list. That's absolutely fine guys. We can still be friends. Now, with all of that out of the way, let's go ahead and get to the 2022 top five list. 

1. Samsung s21 ultra

So, the first smartphone on my list in no particular order is the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. Now the S21 Ultra came out very early this year and it has been the Android smartphone that's been in my pocket for the longest period. And that's because Samsung did take a lot of feedback from users on the S20 Ultra and pretty much-improved everything that we had asked for. So we've got an excellent display with 120 hertz. We've got a very unique design, which we don't see on any other smartphone, with a camera module blending into the sides. And I'm a little bit biased but the matte black version looks stunning. We've got excellent overall cameras with, in my opinion, the best zoom on any smartphone right now.10x obstacle zoom, which can be extended quite a bit. Now, we no longer get a charger included in the box which isn't great for a smartphone at this price. And the charging is also not the fastest out there. It's only 25 watts wired charging. And this year we no longer have a MicroSD card slot. Something that a lot of people are used to on Samsung Galaxy devices. But, regardless, it's an excellent smartphone and I can easily recommend it. Right, moving on. The next smartphone on my list was also a smartphone that came up pretty early but has kind of got forgotten a little bit.

2. Oppo find x3 pro

 The Oppo Find X3 Pro. Now Oppo did try to tick all of the boxes with this device. We've got an excellent display. We've got some great overall cameras and what's unique is that we have the same sensor for the primary as well as the ultra-wide camera, which you don't see on many of the devices. And we also have the world's first microscope camera on a smartphone. Now, this is something that I initially thought was a bit of a gimmick, but after using it, I found I was using it more than the telephoto camera. Just kind of getting my camera close up to things and being able to see the details just so, so much fun. There are also 65 watts of charging included out in the box with 35-watt wireless charging. And it's also quite compact for a full-size flagship. It's only around 8.26 millimeters thin, which makes it a lot lighter and a lot easier to use compared to some of the other flagships out there. Now, of course, it's not perfect. There's room for improvement. I think the selfie camera could be improved, it's only 1080pand with the design, although the way the camera module rises is unique, the overall design does look very similar to the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

3. Oneplus 9 pro

 

 That is the OnePlus 9 Pro. Now that OnePlus and Oppo are partner companies we do see a lot of similarities, especially from the front. The displays look almost identical. This is not a bad thing. We do have 120 hertz on both displays and they're very good. The OnePlus 9 Pro, however, does come in quite a bit cheaper compared to the Oppo Find X3 Pro. And for that, you're not missing out on too much. You do get a premium-built design warp Charge 65T included out of the box with support for a wireless charge 50T, which is very, very fast. And although the internals is very similar to other flagships out there, what you find with the OnePlus 9 Pro is that thanks to OxygenOS, it is very, very fast and smooth. We also have some big improvements for the cameras this year on the OnePlus 9 Pro with the ability to record 8K from both the primary as well as the ultra-wide camera. And we have this massive Hasselblad partnership which in my opinion, didn't fully live up to the hype and although the cameras have improved with time with software updates, I still think that the Hasslebladpartnership fruits will be seen a few years down the line. Now the front-facing camera is still not good as with the Find X3 Pro, it's just 1080pbut overall, the one plus nine pro is a great package. 

4. Xiaomi MI 11 ultra

 The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. Now, this device arguably has one of the best displays on the market right now. One of the brightest displays out there with 1700 nits. You've got a 120-hertz refresh rate with 480-hertz touch sampling. It's got a very premium ceramic build. You've got 67 watts of wired charging included but you've also got support for 67-watt wireless charging, some of the fastest wireless changing you're going to find out there. You also get a secondary display on the back which can be used as a viewfinder for the rear-facing cameras, which means you can get some very high-quality selfies. Now, the cameras overall, in my experience did not live up to the hype. Yes, they have been improved over time, but things like the 120X at the back on a zoom camera that only has five times optical zoom capability, in my opinion, were just bad at marketing. I mean, sure, the Zoom's good, but it doesn't compare to the zoom on something like the S21 Ultra.

5. The Asus Zenfone 8

 The Asus Zenfone 8. Now, this was a bit of a surprise from Asus. Traditionally we've had the flip, which we still have but the Zenfone 8, for me, was a device that comes in at a very competitive price point with pretty much all of the internals that you have on any other flagship. There are not many compromises made. You've got a 120-hertz display. You do have a respectable 4,000-milliampere battery with 30 watts charging included out of the box and a 3.5-millimeter headphone jack which you're not going to find on any other smartphone on this list. So, very impressive there. Now, you don't get wireless charging included and it can seem like a pretty basic phone. It's not got any bells and whistles but if you are after a compact flagship smartphone, then the Asus Zenfone 8 is an easy recommendation. Now, I do have lots of honorable mentions because there are so many great smartphones that I have used. We do have the gaming smartphone, such as the ROG Phone 5, the one that I liked best, which was the ultimate edition144 hertz display, 6,000 milliamperes battery with lots of triggers for gaming. And then we also had the Legion Phone Duel 2, which, in my opinion, is more of a gaming device than a smartphone. And that's because it's been built for gaming completely in the landscape, including the pop-up selfie camera, 144-hertz display, a built-in fan to keep your device cool after long gaming periods, as well as two USB ports, which you can use simultaneously for dual turbocharging. This just absolutely blew my mind. The ability to plug in two USB-C cables up to a 90-watt charger gives you some very, very fast charging. We also had the Asus Zenfone Flip, which allows you to use the rear-facing camera as a front-facing camera with 8K video recording. Overall, a great smartphone. The S21 as well as the 21 Plus, offer a lot of features that the S 21 ultra offers, but at a lower price, even compared to last year. We've also had the Vivo X60 Pro as well as the X60 Pro Plus. Very promising devices, which, unfortunately, I have not had a massive amount of time to play with. And let's not forget some of the budget options that we've had this year, such as the Realme 8 Pro which I was very impressed with. 108-megapixel camera, 50-watt dock charging included out of the box, all for under 300 pounds. We also had the Poco F3with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 processor, 120-hertz refresh rate, again coming in at around 300 pounds, which is insane. And then I also got to test out the Infinix Note 10 Pro which is a device that retails for around 259 dollars, has a 90-hertz display, 256 gigabytes of storage with 8 gigabytes of RAM at that very competitive price.  

 MY OPINION.

                  

              I Think the s21 ultra is best for you. that's because Samsung did take a lot of feedback from users on the S20 Ultra and pretty much-improved everything that we had asked for. So we've got an excellent display with 120 hertz. We've got a very unique design, which we don't see on any other smartphone, with a camera module blending into the sides. And I'm a little bit biased but the matte black version looks stunning.
