Most read reviews 2021

The year-end and year-end lists go together wonderfully, like meatballs and sour cherries. At least for a Belgian like me. Recently, we looked ahead and discussed six upcoming trends of phones in 2022. The Androidworld already gave its opinion on the best smartphones and the best smart watch of 2021, but we gave you the last word, like every year.

This time we look at the most read reviews of the past year on Androidworld. And as always when we dive into such numbers, there are surprises.

1. Samsung Galaxy A52 review

Samsung’s Galaxy A phones are the best-selling devices of the brand almost every year and we also notice that in the reading figures of the Galaxy A52 review. This model in particular arouses a lot of attention, because a new smartphone does not always have to be the best in everything. We all think with our wallets too.

In our review you could read:

“With the Galaxy A52, Samsung has done everything it can to prepare for a new sales success, and that is more than deserved. The A52 does not feel radically different from its predecessor, but Samsung does have the dots in several areas.” i’ put where the A51 still fell short compared to competitors. The device is more refined and the improvements feel well thought out”

2. Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra review

You chose it as the best smartphone of 2021 and of course the review also received a lot of attention. Samsung’s flagship product made no compromises, but according to Claudia it is the best phone in Galaxy history.

In our review you could read:

Samsung promises that the Galaxy S21 Ultra will combine the most advanced professional camera system with the brightest and smartest screen on a Galaxy ever. The South Korean company delivers on that promise. The S21 Ultra has the best screen and camera setup in the industry. Galaxy history.”

3. Garmin Venu Sq Review

A beautiful screen, good battery life and a pleasant design, those are the successful ingredients of the Garmin Venu Sq. It has an excellent balance between the smart functions of a smartwatch and the possibilities of a sports watch.

In our review you could read:

“The Sq does what it’s supposed to do and is definitely recommended for people who would like to try a healthier lifestyle and also like to exercise.”

4. Motorola Moto G9 Plus Review

This year, Motorola celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Moto G series and it did so with the launch of the Moto G100: a phone with powerful specs for an accessible price. Still, it was the review of the Moto G9 Plus that got the most attention.

In our review you could read:

“Under the line, the Motorola G9 Plus – just like its predecessor – is an all-rounder that sometimes outperforms the competition, but on some points also has to recognize that other players are doing just that little bit better. For 250 euros, however, this is one of the few phones with such a large panel and a clean Android experience. If the camera performance is sufficient and updates don’t mean a lot to you, then there is really no reason not to buy the Motorola G9 Plus.”

5. Samsung Galaxy A12 Review

“A lot of battery for less than 180 euros”, is the title. If there’s one thing we all love about a phone, it’s this. AW Beta tester Daniel noted that the phone is ideal for those who want to pay little and don’t have the highest expectations of phones.

In our review you could read:

“The target group that wants to serve the Galaxy A12 buys this phone because of its low price, the long battery life, the extensive Samsung software and the modern appearance.”

6. Google Nest Hub 2 review

The new generation of the Google Nest Hub wants to conquer a place next to your bed. The device comes with advanced sleep analysis that gives you more insight into your sleeping habits with extensive reports. the audio quality of the speakers was also overhauled.

In our review you could read:

“The Google Nest Hub 2 has sleep registration and delivers fairly accurate data and an interesting sleep report every morning. As far as I’m concerned, the smart display is a great alternative to wearing a tracker or smartwatch during the night.”

7. Samsung Galaxy A72 Review

The Samsung Galaxy A72 has to rely on its camera setup and excellent battery life. It is slightly more expensive than the Galaxy A52 and also traditionally ends up in its shadow. The device also did not receive a version with 5G this year, but that will undoubtedly change next year.

In our review you could read:

“Are you going for the best value for money? Then choose the A52 5G. Are you looking for a top performance in terms of performance? Then go for the Moto G100 or the Poco F3. Don’t you care about 5G and do you want a nice telephoto lens for an affordable price? Then the A72 is worth considering.”

8. Nokia X20 Review

With the X and G series, Nokia launched a new strategy with its smartphones. The brand wants to bring durable devices to the market that will last for years and that will make you choose Nokia again afterwards. Although we were certainly not lyrical about Nokia’s most powerful device of 2021.

In our review you could read:

“Where the shoe pinches for me, however, is the price-quality ratio of the Nokia X20. The phone currently has a suggested retail price of 379 euros, and with this price in mind and what the competition in this price category offers, Nokia has made some – in my eyes – strange choices.”

9. Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro Review

Xiaomi has released a lot of interesting devices this year, but the Redmi Note 10 Pro caught your attention the most. He managed to offer a nice package of features for an interesting mid-range price. A handsome screen, a 5020 mAh battery and the 108 MP camera form the basis.

In our review you could read:

“Positives are the screen, the main camera, the battery and the luxurious look of the design. A bit more negative are the frame that feels cheap and the software that lacks some optimization. But I think the positives definitely outweigh the negatives So if you’re looking for a phone around this price point, I definitely recommend this Redmi Note 10 Pro.”

10. Poco X3 Pro Review

A budget phone that sets the bar high, that’s something we love. The Poco X3 Pro has a Snapdragon 860 processor, even if it does not cost 300 euros. In addition, it comes with a 120Hz screen and a striking design.

In our review you could read:

“Especially in terms of its performance, battery life and the screen, Xiaomi knows how to outdo many a competitor. If software is very important to you, then I would advise you to think about it again. The pricing of the Poco X3 Pro is very competitive, but that doesn’t mean you should buy a phone that doesn’t suit your (Android) needs. If the software is less important to you, I can heartily recommend the phone.”
