Last week we asked you to vote for your favorite flagship of 2024. The results are in, and it looks like Samsung has had a stellar year.
Let’s start with the first survey, the one for the classic bar smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra dominated this category and received a third of the votes – it was by far the most popular device on the list. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra and vivo X200 Pro were almost dead with 9% and 8.9% of the votes respectively. The Google Pixel 9 Pro and Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max deserve an honorable mention with 8% and 7.8% of the votes, respectively. Close to the Xiaomi and the vivo, but not comparable to the Samsung.

The horizontal folding survey was hotly contested, much more so than the other two. Here too, Samsung took first place with the Galaxy Z Fold6, beating the Honor Magic V3 by one percentage point. The first ever foldable device, Huawei Mate XT Ultimate, secured third place with 12.4%. The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold deserves honorable mention with 11.6% of the votes. Interestingly, the Galaxy Z Fold Special only received 8.4% of the votes – both this and the XT Ultimate have very limited availability, but one is much more ambitious than the other.
Finally, in the foldable flip category, Samsung scored another decisive victory: the Galaxy Z Flip6 took first place with just over a third of the votes. It doesn’t have the same lead over the competition as the Z Fold, but there’s still a big gap between it and second place – the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra/razr+ 2024 with 22.9%. Third place went to the Xiaomi Mix Flip.
Of course, there was a large contingent of “I don’t want a foldable” voters, but this had a greater impact in the horizontal foldable poll (where it got the most votes) than in the foldable foldable poll (where it had fewer support compared to the foldable foldable survey). Z Flip6 and Razr).
We are entering a new year that already brings new phones. Will cameras continue to be a major driver for flagships? Will flip foldables outperform rigid designs? What will happen with horizontal foldables? These questions will be answered over the next twelve months, but if you have any predictions, leave them in the comments.
