As we approach the end of the year, we will be announcing our Phone of the Year (POTY) pick. We usually like to engage readers by doing a survey of the most popular phones of that year. With that said, which phone will get your vote this year?

On a related sad note, it seems that, at least here in the US, we really don’t have many options to choose from. We have major devices from Samsung, Google, OnePlus and…? Is there anyone else worthy of votes? Motorola had a sleeper this year? Maybe Sony and its pricey Xperia line?

To be realistic, this vote will go to the best devices from Samsung and Google, with the Galaxy S22 lineup, the latest Galaxy Z foldable devices, and Pixel 7 devices likely to win first place. It’s not that it’s a bad thing considering they’re all great devices, but that wasn’t the case before.

I’m instructing you all to put your brains to work thinking long and hard about which phone deserves the number one spot. Keep in mind that you don’t have to own a phone to vote for it. If you think the Z Fold 4 was the best device even though many of us can’t afford it, that’s fine! If you’re a Pixel fanatic but want to give credit to this year’s Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, then by all means, do what feels right. Vote with your heart.

Expect a POTY poll soon!
