After the release of the Meizu 21 Pro (which seems hard to find?), most mainstream brands have launched their new phones this year. If you’re considering an upgrade, it’s time to start comparing. Here are my personal recommendations:

For fans of Huawei: You can go for the cutting-edge Mate60 series or wait for the Huawei P70 Pro. Rumor has it that it will feature a 50MP± Sony IMX989 main camera with a physical variable aperture + a 50MP± periscope lens. It’s also equipped with the powerful Kirin processor, new satellite communication technology, making it exceptionally strong.

For Apple enthusiasts: Considering Apple’s pattern, the 16 series might not have significant upgrades. It’s advisable to get the discounted iPhone 15 Pro Max, which already features titanium alloy and a 5x periscope telephoto lens. When you upgrade to iOS 18 later, the user experience won’t be drastically different from the 16 PM.

For Android users: If you’re looking for an all-around experience, flagship models from major brands are recommended. For those focusing on gaming and value for money, you might want to check out the newly released OnePlus Ace3 Genshin Impact customization edition. It offers a fully customized appearance, Snapdragon 8G2 processor, 16GB RAM, 512GB storage, a 1.5K display, a massive 5500mAh battery, and 100W super flash charging. It’s also optimized for Genshin Impact gaming enthusiasts.
