Weekly poll results: Honor, Tecno, vivo and TCL phones voted best at MWC 2023

After a week of launches, MWC 2023 has come to an end and we’ve 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 title of MWC’s best flagship by a wide margin. It managed to edge out the Realme GT3 and the Xiaomi 13 Pro, which were nearly tied for second place. The vanilla Magic5 wasn’t as popular, but it was way ahead of the vanilla Xiaomi 13.

The Tecno Phantom V Fold picked up a surprising win for MWC’s best foldable. Its opponent, the Honor Magic Vs, held the lead for a few days before Tecno’s first foldable took the lead. Still, Honor’s global lineup looks quite promising with the Magic5 Pro and Magic V expanding into multiple markets.

vivo won the Best Mid-Ranger segment with the V27 Pro and even took second place with the vanilla V27, which beat out the Xiaomi 13 Lite. Judging from the comments section, Xiaomi needs to do some soul-searching and reconsider its pricing – although this probably applies more to the flagships than the Lite model.

Finally, TCL swept the competition in the best entry-level segment by obtaining the Top 3 with the 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 cheap phones. But it was the 4G-only XL model that came out on top, the 5G-connected X and XE were slightly left behind.

Among other competitors, the vivo V27e showed promise, as did the Nokia G22.
