iPhone 16 is expected to be the best small phone of 2024, and according to MKBHD, surprisingly, it's considered the best.

MKBHD annually selects the best smartphones in various categories by holding the Smartphone Awards. In 2024, YouTubers chose smartphones across 10 categories, and surprisingly, the iPhone 16 won an unexpected category – this year's smallest smartphone.

Over the past few years, the definition of a small phone has changed significantly, with many companies abandoning smaller phone sizes – including Apple. The mini-sized iPhone had been replaced by the iPhone 14 Plus in 2022 and did not return. Despite this, YouTubers selected the iPhone 16 as the smallest phone for 2024.

With a 6.1-inch display, it is relatively smaller compared to current standards. Mark praises Apple for maintaining the phone small and very lightweight while enhancing its basic model with many features. This makes it an ideal phone for people who need powerful phones without large screens.

When it comes to cameras, the iPhone 16 Pro won the best camera category. YouTubers mentioned that a phone with more advanced sensors exists and cited the VIVO X200 Pro, but they still believe that iPhones are still superior overall, especially for professional video recording.

Mark still chose Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra as "the best phone ever." According to him, while the S24 Ultra may not appear to have remarkable features like panel design, it has "more of a great screen, better battery, and better camera" than that.
