    Objectively + Phones doesn't really wash out with an answer.

    Subjectively though making sense of the best HW options depends on your focus.

    Use case matters more on phones as such with most technology. If you're a construction worker then durability is more important. If you're a gamer then it's screen / battery / CPU. If you're a "photographer" then the camera / processing speed. If you're looking for simplicity then there's options for that too.

    some phones are the best at everything...subjectively

    maybe not durability but I have a mous case and it can be dropped from space and not see a crack..they have videos of this..

    speed screen cameras is what i care about...s21 seems to tick the boxes



    like what are you saying bro? should I sell it and get a Mi 11 or what I thought the s21 ultra was the best...all iv'e noticed is everything loads in an instant and iv'e never had that expereince on a phone

    In most cases "everyone" has a top 3 criteria for what they want in a phone / device / car / house / etc. and the rest is either gravy or tossed aside.

    From a technical standpoint though looking at performance side by side on say network performance having the ability to take a given handset from one SIM (carrier) to another with ease and still get good speeds might be a benefit. Having a device designed with say 90/100 bands available in a region vs only 75/100 bands could limit your ability to use it in a given area. For this purpose the S21 does meet criteria for high availability.

    Looking at the camera aspect and the CMOS processing you're comparing different options based on how the processor manages the photo process. Some are better than others in delay / blur / low light capture. Some have documented issues / bugs with them.
