After a week of launches, MWC 2023 has concluded and we asked you to pick the best devices in several categories. Here are the winners of last week’s poll.
The Honor Magic5 Pro won the MWC Best Flagship title by a large margin. It managed to overtake Realme GT3 and Xiaomi 13 Pro, which were almost tied for second place. The Vanilla Magic5 was not that popular, but it was far ahead of the Vanilla Xiaomi 13.
The Tecno Phantom V Fold took a surprising victory for the best foldable at the MWC. His opponent, the Honor Magic Vs, held the lead for a few days before Tecno’s first foldable jumped into the lead. However, Honor’s global lineup looks quite promising with the Magic5 Pro and Magic Vs expanding into more markets.
vivo won the Best Mid-Ranger segment with the V27 Pro and also took second place with the vanilla V27, which beat the Xiaomi 13 Lite. Judging by the comments section, Xiaomi needs to do some soul-searching and reconsider its pricing, although this probably applies to the flagships more than the Lite model.
Finally, TCL beat the competition in the Best Entry-Level segment, securing the Top 3 with TCL 40 XL, 40 X and 40 XE. This is an interesting result as the TCL 40 series will be available in the US, a market hungry for budget phones. But it was the 4G-only XL model that came out on top, the 5G-connected X and XE lagging slightly behind.
Of the other competitors, the vivo V27e showed promise as did the Nokia G22.
