I’ve got myself a iPhone 16 Pro Max after upgrading from iPhone XR. All of the people say this year was horrible to upgrade, but they always compare it with 15/14 series of iPhone. For me this was a game changing jump in every aspect. Respect to s24 ultra, my friend has it and we compare daily things, but I enjoy my device more and he enjoy his more
@ twins! Which color and whats your favorite function so far? Ive been appreciating most the insane battery life, 4x the storage so I dont need to delete pics for updates and just overall refreshing feel 120hz/A18 Pro chip
@@timotei3937It's great in overall but only problem i faced is battery drain issues, I am using 25w charger for charging so this might be the reason but I'm not satisfied with battery backup
Best budget: Nothing Phone 2a Best Mid range: Pixel 8a Best Value: One+ 12 Foldable: One+ Open Apex Edition Best Camera Phone: Pixel 9 Pro XL Underated: iPhone 16 Plus Best iPhone: 16 Pro Max Best Phone: Galaxy S24 Ultra
I know that Iphone 16 Pro Max is in like the top 5 of best phones but its still funny that he needs an additional category for this phone to be in this video.
I don’t know about those channels, I didn’t watch their videos, I picked it because there just isn’t any phone that beats S24 Ultra handily it is a such a well rounded phone and does fail to deliver in any area.
I like the variety Nick!! I was surprised but pleased as well that the 16 plus made the list!! I made my choice for the 16 plus this year over the 16 Pro Max because it had the A1 18 I like the colors better I like the camera arrangement better than the 15 plus and you’re right if you looked on the net for tech enthusiasts they don’t even talk about the 16 plus but I don’t regret my decision. It’s a workhorse and it’s a very solid powerful smart phone that I have really love and have enjoyed!!
I would have agreed with the Nothing 2a taking best budget but the camera was a great disappointment. The colors and the processing lag was just too annoying. Other than that it was great. Battery was top notch and its refreshing to see an even bezel screen for its price range. Of course, what's uncontested this year is the S24 Ultra. Funny enough, it came out in January yet nobody was able to beat it. Its just that good
I'm still in absolute love with my Pixel 6 Pro. The only thing I wish it had is facial recognition. It still kicks butt in every aspect for me today and is my favorite design. Once it no longer gets updates in 2026 I will be looking at the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Nice video, Nick! Merry Christmas! 🎄
Oneplus 12 has great design also great shape curved screen but it has lack of camera quality like google pixel 9 pro xl or Iphone. Vivo x200 pro camera better than Samsung also iphone. Sony 1 mark 6 it has lot to offer. Nick you should abseloutly add Sony phone speed test

Iphones camera, video quality, battery life and its processor is better than 24 ultra. I would choose 16 pro max even if i use my s23 ultras s pen a lot. 16 pro max is also significantly less overheats in gaming as well.
@@TanveerAhmed-dk3rpnot on social media but iphone can maintain a it's video /photo quality on social media s24 can't the quality will reduce when you post
I’ve had my 16 Plus (ultramarine) since release and have 0 complaints, other than no real multitasking option (came from android) but that’s an iOS issue
Funny, almost all of the mobile phone reviewers seem to always have an iPhone in their pocket. 😅The hardware seems to have peeked. Investment needs to shift to software. For example, If the iPhone ran android it would lose out to a lot of other android phones. Or if oxygen OS were more robust on my Oneplus 12 I would probably carry it more often than the S 24 ultra.

I’m on the 16 Pro Max. Lifelong Apple user, but Samsung is very tempting for my next upgrade in the next 3 years
Good phone indeed, Samsung is probably the best pick if you want a different experience that is going to offer you improvements over using the iPhone
I have made the switch a few months back and enjoyed the experience so far. Refreshing change after 15 years on IOS.
Love my pixel 8a

What about the iPhone 15 PM? It is just always getting left out, and I honestly prefer it over the 16 Plus.
Nobody wants a toaster
It's not a 2024 device
iPhone 16 is best compact phone of the year bcoz I owned it 😊
Nice video
16 pro for me. Offers the most flagship experience in my opinion
Ya, Maybe soft corner for s24u bcoz it launched earlier.
it would have to be the pro Max.
@@thetechlibrarian its just bigger (too big for my liking). The only benefit to it is the battery but im fine woth the 16 pro battery
Great list!! ❤ My favorite is pixel 9 pro fold
That’s a good choice!
Awesome video Nick! I hope Ms Ackerman and your son have a wonderful and blessed holiday coming up

Great for the price
@@Kesharagimhan it's not
@@me5425 any reasons?
It's awesome
My neighbour got the new X200 from Vivo the camera on that is absolutely phenomenal especially at the price point.
The OnePlus Open is my phone of the year despite being a year old. The S24 Ultra is my runner up.
Nice choices! Both excellent products!
I have S24 U and S23 U and i agree that, thanx video
You're welcome
You support on Samsung Galaxy s24 ultra 11:05
I really want a s25 yes😢

I pick the best phone with decent specs that you can swap a fresh batt in anytime, has sd card, and audio jack - my Xcover6 Pro.
Pixel and Samsung user here ♥️♥️♥️♥️
why every youtuber choosing the s 24 ultra , mkbhd, Mr whose the boss , nick and others 🤔
I don’t know about those channels, I didn’t watch their videos, I picked it because there just isn’t any phone that beats S24 Ultra handily it is a such a well rounded phone and does fail to deliver in any area.
Everyone picks the s24 ultra, but it isn’t even their main phone that they use, so they’re basically lying.

Best phone - 16 pro max
Switched from s23 ultra to 16 pro max
Huge upgrade
Great video Nick, I do think that the Google pixel’s have really great cameras and software support that would be my pick of the year
Finally a reviewer that is clearly ahead of all the rest. Thank you for your clear, honest, and non bias review.
Very nice video
S24 ultra is amazing with lots of amazing features but I still prefer my 16 pro max, had the s24 but I just can't deal with the android OS
S24 ultra
Great job nick. I think iPhone 16 pro was number 1
Are you even using the S24 Ultra that often, to call it the best? Bet your primary is iPhone, like everyone else.
I believe it's his secondary phone
Wow Nick you surprised me only 1 iPhone. I agree with all of your picks. Thanks for the video homie. Keep up the good work

Hey man, make a video on best foldable phones of the year.
CMF = the new fire phone. A man was killed last month overseas when the battery 🔋 caught fire causing him to crash his motorcycle. So sad
You forgot the 7 years of support and the anti reflective screen on s24 ultra.

Please watch the video, as I stated if the phone was not available for the North American US market it is not making my list
@nickackermanchannel ok, was a simple question.
16 pro max solos the entire phone world.
Good phone, not the best though
iPhone ❤
Still a top contender
I’ve had my 16 Plus (ultramarine) since release and have 0 complaints, other than no real multitasking option (came from android) but that’s an iOS issue
s24 plus is also good if you are not a fan of the ultra screen size
Every review s24 wins best phone so my question is why doesn’t anyone buy it ,
It’s only popular in Asia
Attendo Samsung s25 ultra sarà un altro mondo !!!!!🎉
I found one ui a nightmare, why have a Samsung version of every app? Ended up with 2 apps doing the same thing 😂
First 3 seconds s24U anti .. screen number 1
Seems that samsung pays to every blogger to say that round edged, slow charging and too big phone is the best.
No list without Vivo x200 pro😂😂

No I mentioned it in the Pixel 8a section
S24 ultra is the best phone among all these..
