SMARTPHONE Magazin Awards: The best devices of 2020
The old year is slowly coming to an end and so it is traditionally time for us to vote for the best smartphones, gadgets and apps. Smartphone magazine presents the awards for the outstanding technical innovations and the best applications of 2020 on a total of 16 pages.
Best Smartphone 2020:
1st place || OPPO Find X2 Pro:
The OPPO Find X2 Pro won the title of “Best Smartphone 2020”. It is not wrong to use the suffix Pro, the 6.7-inch AMOLED display is outstanding and, thanks to a refresh rate of 120 Hertz, it displays screen content extremely smoothly.
The camera provides satisfactory results and the built-in battery can be operated thanks to 65 watts. Fully charge the power adapter in less than 45 minutes. It only takes 13 minutes for the battery percentage display to change from zero to 50.
A striking feature of the phone is the synthetic leather back, which makes the phone resistant to annoying fingerprints and also ensures that it can cope with everyday life in a reasonably robust manner. At least a cover can be dispensed with.
Screen: 6.7 “AMOLED, 3,168 x 1,440 pixels
Hardware: Snapdragon 865, 12 GB RAM, 256/512 GB storage
Camera: main: 48/13/48 MP; Front: 32 MP
Connectivity: WiFi: a, b, g, n, ac, 6; Bluetooth: 5.1, NFC
Extras: IP68, In Screen Fingerprint, Fast Charge
Price: 797.00 euros
2nd place || One Plus 8 Pro:
An outstanding display is the big highlight of this very successful phone. The screen of the OnePlus 8 Pro offers outstanding brightness and strong contrast values, and thanks to the 120 Hertz refresh rate, image content appears fluid and clear.
Even away from the screen, the device can score with a very strong performance and - for the first time in the OnePlus universe - with an IP certification and wireless charging. A good camera that delivers high-contrast results even at night rounds off the superior overall picture.
Price: 699.00 euros
3rd place || Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G:
Our podium is rounded off by the flagship model of the Samsung Galaxy series. The S20 Ultra 5G is a phone that fires the credo of “clumping instead of messing” and offers high-end quality in almost all areas.
The camera shoots great photos and the "Space Zoom" enables the object to be enlarged up to a hundred times. In addition, videos can be recorded in 8K. The built-in 5,000 mAh battery is refilled in under an hour and the performance values of the Ultra are all in the reference range.
Price: 849.99 euros
Best camera smartphone
1st place || Huawei P40 Pro
The question of the best camera smartphone has long since ceased to be answered in good lighting conditions. The results, even from smartphones from the upper middle class, are simply too good for that.
The wheat is separated from the chaff when the challenges of the notch increase, such as when there is little light or when zooming is necessary. The close race this year goes to the Huawei P40 Pro, followed by the iPhone 12 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G.
Price: 568.00 euros
2nd place || iPhone 12 Pro
3rd PLACE || Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G
Most innovative smartphone
1st place || ZTE Axon 20
ZTE is the first manufacturer to manage to put the front camera behind the display. This enables it to see through the screen and snap selfies. This is made possible by potentially transparent pixels in the smartphone's OLED screen, which make the camera “invisible”, but can also display conventional screen content. Thanks to this, the ZTE Axon 20 5G deserves the title of “Most Innovative Smartphone 2020”.
Price: 399.00 euros
2nd place || Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G
3rd PLACE || Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro
Best outdoor smartphone
1st place || Gigaset GX290
Robust, enduring and potent. These three attributes outline the Gigaset GX290 and entitle it to receive an award in the “Best Outdoor Smartphone” category. The device is protected against water and dust in accordance with IP68 and also cushions falls thanks to the TPU injection-molded housing reinforced with a metal frame.
Another big plus of the GX290 is the impressive battery life. In our ranking, the device delivered the second-best runtime results that we have ever measured.
Price: 231.00 euros
2nd place || Cyrus CS22X
3rd PLACE || CAT S42
Best budget smartphone
1st place || Xiaomi Redmi Note 7
The Redmi Note 7 from the Xiaomi subsidiary wins the race in this category. For less than 180 euros, the buyer gets a high-performance phone with a powerful dual camera and great battery life.
