Marquess Brownlee, aka MKBHD, a popular YouTuber in the technology industry, has just announced his list of 2024 smartphone awards. This is an annual event that tech fans look forward to, where the best smartphones are honored in various categories. And this year, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra shines with the title of “Smartphone of the Year”.
MKBHD has been organizing this award for a decade, recognizing the remarkable development of the smartphone industry over the years. The list of awards always attracts attention not only because of the expected results but also because of some interesting surprises. 2024 is no exception, and the Galaxy S24 Ultra is honored as one of the brightest stars.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra not only won the “Smartphone of the Year” award but was also honored as “Best Big Phone”. This is the fourth time a Galaxy device has won the prestigious award from MKBHD, affirming Samsung’s position in the high-end phone segment.
Marques Brownlee especially praised the Galaxy S24 Ultra for its powerful performance, long battery life, excellent display, and outstanding camera. The new anti-reflective coating on the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s screen also received praise for its ability to reduce glare, making the user experience more wonderful. According to MKBHD, this is the phone he has used the most over the past year, a clear testament to the quality of this device.
Besides Samsung, Apple also left its mark when the iPhone 16 Pro won the “Best Camera” award. Although it does not have very powerful camera hardware, the iPhone still stands out thanks to its impressive image optimization capabilities. Notably, the iPhone 16 was named in the “Best Small Phone” category, despite having a screen of up to 6.1 inches. This is also quite interesting when compared to the standards of previous years.
The Huawei Mate XT, a unique tri-fold phone, received the award for “Best Design”, while the Pixel 9 Pro Fold was honored in two categories: “Best Foldable Phone” and “Most Innovative”.
The MKBHD award not only recognizes the value of the Galaxy S24 Ultra but also helps users have a useful perspective in choosing the right device for their needs. Samsung once again affirms its leading position in the mobile technology industry.
