"Smartphone of the Year 2021" was held

This time around the year-end and New Year holidays, the number one hit was the year-end "Smartphone of the Year".・ The award-winning terminal announcement of "The Year" was not an article ... but an article introducing the terminal presented as a candidate by the judges. The article that announced the award-winning terminal was second place.

In the Smartphone of the Year competition, individual writers, who serve as judges, list the "smartphone that represents the year", and the model recommended by more writers advances to the main competition. In 2021, the iPhone did not advance to the main battle, probably because there were many “masterpieces” on Android. This is a long time coming.

The 1st place article summarizes the 5 models selected by the writer (and the editorial department) and the reasons, but it is interesting to get a glimpse of each point of view. It's quick, but what will be the smartphone that shines as the smartphone of the year 2022 ...?
