Excellent choices, just curios about these topics: 1) Fairphone 5 - Maybe a new category for next year: "Best sustainable and repairable phone of the year" 2) For best phone of the year maybe we can have a winner for each tear? Low - Medium and Flagship? 3) At the end of the presentation to talk about some phone statistics, similar like the ones we have for cars? For example: What was the best seller phone of 2023? Whats was the best seller iPhone and most popular iPhone color of 2023? What was the best seller Samsung phone for 2023? What was the most stolen phone of 2023? 4) Lastly, we should talk about the impact on the planet that all these phones have, I mean do we really need a new iPhone every year? Maybe Apple should produce an iPhone every other year, that will be better for the planet and the consumer. Thank you.

Nice to see the love for Sony. I have had Sony since the Ericson merge and always enjoyed them. Currently use a Xperia 1 3. Alot of people over look Sony as they did fall behind with design at one point especially through their z range phones.

It's crazy because I was always made fun of for using a Sony phone and I recently after 9 years switched to a Google pixel Pro after using the Xperia line for years, every time I walked into a store and like do you guys have a screensaver or a protective case or anything like that and they were asked. What kind of phone do you have? And I say Xperia and they be like what is that? Be like a Sony phone and maybe like I didn't know Sony made phones. You know how many years I heard that 😂
