My top 5 phones of 2020 - Ivan

Before I lay down the list of what I think are the best phones to come out in 2020, let's get a few things out there. This is a subjective list and these are by no means the only devices I've liked throughout 2020. But the boss said 5, so there you go. I also don't want to discredit the multitude of innovative phones to come out in 2020. But my choices aren't only based on innovation. Among other things I'm the resident photographer here at GSMArena.com and as such I shoot most of the phone images for the reviews and news articles.

2020 Winners and Losers: Samsung

It's time to wrap up this weird and mostly unpleasant year with something fun and pleasant - Samsung's report card for 2020. What it did good, what it did not as good, and what it perhaps could have done. It's important to say this before we go on - the Korean company had a stellar year and even the its "losers" product are pretty solid. They're just not on the level of Samsung's "winners" this year. Loser: Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra In late 2020, the Galaxy S20 Ultra is an absolute win. It has arguably a better periscope zoom camera than the Galaxy Note20 Ultra, the same processor, a...
