It’s that time of year again when all eyes are on the MKBHD Smartphone Awards. The event takes into consideration the best devices in terms of various categories.
Out of the various categories, it’s safe to say that Apple will be delighted to hear how its iPhone 16 was named 2024’s best small phone. Clearly, many did not expect this.
It wouldn’t be wrong to state how the definition of a small phone has altered so many times in the past. Today, many firms are abandoning small-sized devices including tech giant Apple. It might come with the perceived notion that the bigger the phone, the more the features.
However, Apple’s mini iPhone 14 Plus made it big in 2022 but it never came back to life after that. The YouTuber instead opted to give the iPhone 16 the award this year, surprising many people.
The 6.1-inch display is not small in our books but if you look at the common standards witnessed today, it’s certainly small. Still, Apple managed to enhance the base model with many features from its Pro lineup despite making it bigger. So what you end up with is a small and super light but very useful device. It’s ideal for those who aren’t a fan of carrying powerful phones with massive devices.
More insights from the awards include the best camera which went to the iPhone 16 Pro but there was a lot of discussion on many other devices featuring advanced sensors. Still, Apple reigned supreme as it was a complete package, the YouTuber shared, especially for those keen on making professional videos.
Marques awarded Samsung Galaxy’s S24 Ultra as the best device for 2024 despite seeming boring to many tech experts. Yes, there are no foldable design features but the screen is great and so is the battery. The cameras are wonderful and there’s a lot to offer.
The latest anti-reflective coating is also very fine and as per stats, it’s the most used device in 2024 so congratulations to Samsung. You can find the entire list on the website but we have to mention that Google also made it big on the list. The best foldable design was Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold and it was also awarded the most improved device of the year.
