Few changes, lots of numbers: here are the phones we like best in 2022

It has not been an easy year for mobile communications. In 2022, many brands have had to hold back the innovation and evolution of their various product lines due to the low availability of components across factories. However, the largest companies found room for maneuver to surprise the user, and NIUSGEEK picked up an interesting group of equipment, which, however, pleasantly surprised us after testing. In capital letters, to make it clear: LIST OF EQUIPMENT WE TESTED.

iPhone 14 Pro Max. Undoubtedly, the evolution of Apple’s successful phone continues without any worries other than those associated with its difficult mass production. This 2022 version leaves us with a new A16 Boinic processor, a “dynamic island” notch replacement, more mature software, and a new “action mode” that exhibits the best stabilization on the market. We leave you our feedback.

Samsung S22 Ultra. The Samsung smartphone remains a top contender this year due to its many strengths. It’s about resurrecting the “Note” line as part of the S line with a monster zoom, very fast Android updates, the best screen on the market, the inclusion of an S-Pen, and the best Android video system. Check out our review at this link.

Motorola Edge 30 Ultra. It’s been a great year for Moto and the new invention of the Edge line inspires us to look to the future. Compared to the first Pro models in this saga, the Ultra introduces this new design concept, 125W ultra-fast charging, 200MP primary lens, performance and solutions that go beyond a smartphone with Ready4 connectivity. While the S22 Ultra has its downsides, its price may be the deciding factor. Here is our full review.

Xiaomi 12 Pro. That being said, the Pro version announced in early 2022 is better than the 12T introduced in October in several ways. First, the outstanding design, adding wireless charging to a very well-made body. Its 120W charging system is a selling point, and its cameras have excellent image processing. Even MIUI is a heavy environment, but it can be improved. Here is our full review.

Honor Magic 4 Pro. The “Eye of the Muse” passed through our hands to demonstrate the strength of Honor in the mobile device market, a learning based on the legacy of Huawei. Curved edges on the glass and aluminum body, phenomenal image processing and symmetrical 100W charging are its outstanding achievements in the industry. We leave you our feedback.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4. Samsung’s “toad” format continues to gain popularity in the emerging “foldable” segment with faster and better fourth-generation power management. Minor changes at the design level, but with tweaks to performance and cameras that now add a better zoom system. With that bet, along with the Fold4, Samsung has no problem leading the market for the most innovative phones. Here are our impressions.

OPPO Reno7. Locally, OPPO owes us “big influence” in the high-end, but this Reno7 brought some interesting details to the intermediate segment of telephony with a microscopic camera up to 30X capable of revealing details that go unnoticed by humans. eye. Our review is at this link.

Huawei Nova 9 SE. Although the commercial ban in the US prevents the use of Google services, Huawei continues to explore new paths in the mobile segment and think about an ecosystem complemented by great wearables, home and office devices. In this case, we are talking about a mid-range smartphone with a 108MP lens, 66W charging and a 90Hz panel, which, in addition to Google apps, could be a device designed for companies running Microsoft or Goal apps. Read our review.

REDMAGIK 7S PRO. The strongest smartphone of the year was at NIUSGEEK and it leaves a good impression on us thanks to the evolution of the brand and its “normalization” in the high-end segment. The improved ventilation duct, gaming performance and beautiful transparent design of the OBSIDIAN version make this powerful phone the leader of the gaming world in this part of the world. Here we leave you our test.

LIVE X80 Pro. I want to close this list with the second place in the high-end android market and this is remains a few steps behind S22 Ultra: Vivo X80 Pro. Its high cost may put off a lot of people, but those who want it will find it one of the best investments. Zeiss signed cameras, 80W charging, very clean interface, amazing screen, outstanding performance, 5G, beautiful design and stability all speak in favor of this good phone. For me one of the best this year.
