Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) has now provided his opinions on the best and worst smartphones released this year. For context, Arun Maini, better known as Mrwhosetheboss, beat MKBHD to the punch of publishing a smartphone awards video. Nonetheless, the former providers a more European view of the smartphone market in 2023, mainly because some Android OEMs elect against bringing their smartphones to all markets, as proved the case last year with the Nothing Phone (1) (curr. $346.99 on Amazon).
At any rate, MKBHD splits his winners into ten categories, with one titled ‘bust of the year’ for his worst smartphone of the 2023. Additionally, the YouTuber has given folding smartphones a dedicated category, the first new category in a number of years. As he explains in the video below, 2023 is arguably the first year in which a variety of foldables have been available in North America.
