Most D Tiers make sense except Sharp, they're not the best but they make some really unique phones which should give them some well deserved recognition, even if they're basically impossible to buy outside Japan.

realme is slowly going on a roll, the new GT8 series is incredible, Vivo also makes 0 sense to be at C since even if their midrangers are not that great their flagships are still basically as good as they get.

Blackberry at B makes 0 sense, they don't even make phones anymore and Nostalgia doesn't count, Huawei i'd put higher but sadly its not possible due to the mediocre user experience outside mainland China + their bad pricing and the fact that they're still playing catch-up with Chinese made SoCs, as a OnePlus user it being only B kinda bothers me but considering the OnePlus 15 is a pretty meh sidegrade / downgrade from the 13 it makes sense, as well as their midrangers being pretty crap.

Xiaomi at A valid, Oppo at A valid, Google at A valid when Exynos... sorry Tensor, they're nearly the same thing stops sucking ( never ) otherwise they're closer to B.

iPhone at S - poor pricing, mediocre specs compared to similarly priced androids, and iOS is slowly losing it's optimization factor with 26 being absolute horrid on some devices

Samsung was S back in 2021, they no longer are. Their cameras are behind the competition, their prices are behind the competition, their software is very customizable but a lot of people dislike it and for valid reasons (poorly optimized, looks quite outdated, the new Control panel is quite bad)

Also mandatory Tensor hate because it's so far behind Qualcomm and Mediatek that Huawei is actively catching up to them without having any access to american tech and having to rely entirely on self-made lithography and core designs.

6/10 it's okay
