Samsung S24 Ultra selected as' Best Phone of 2024 ', Google narrowly lost

It is reported that the well-known foreign technology media Android Authority readers recently selected the Samsung S24 Ultra as the "Best Phone of 2024" and won this year's "Reader's Choice Award".

It is reported that the first round of voting will be conducted on the Android Authority website. At the beginning, 35 mobile phones were listed, covering mainstream brands such as Apple, Samsung, Google, OnePlus, Sony, Xiaomi, Honor, Vivo, and Asus.

In the past four years, we have seen the iPhone enter the top four every year. However, this year's situation is not like that. Among the two iPhones on the list, iPhone 16 Pro Max is closest to the top four, but it ranks fifth below OnePlus 12. Foreign media say that for OnePlus, entering the final four and sending the iPhone home early is a welcome surprise. In addition, the OPPO Find X8 Pro received more votes than expected, as it is more popular than phones such as the iPhone 16.

At the end of the first round, there were still four phones left: Google Pixel 9 Pro, Samsung S24 Ultra, Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, and OnePlus 12. Android Authority has expanded its voting channels and added several social media platforms, including Threads, X, Facebook, and YouTube.

With the expansion of the voting pool, there has been a significant shift in the results. Although the Google Pixel 9 Pro took the lead in the first round, the S24 Ultra easily surpassed it. The S24 Ultra and Pixel 9 Pro became the two winners and entered the final round.

In the final round of voting, the S24 Ultra defeated the Pixel 9 Pro by a double-digit margin on all platforms except for one. Finally, the Samsung S24 Ultra was selected as the "Best Phone of 2024".
