The year 2020 is coming to an end and with it, in addition to a tremendously complicated time, the launches of phones in the technology sector are coming to an end. At this point, from El Output we want to take a look back to compile in this article The smartphones that we have liked the most throughout 2020.
Oppo Find X2 Pro
The first model that we want to talk about OPPO Find X2 PRO. This phone, which we already talked about in depth in our video analysis, has a great elegant design and we really liked it. On its back it incorporates a finish with a wave-shaped texture that provides a pleasant sensation to the touch.
View content on your 6,7 ″ AMOLED screen It is a true pleasure that, in addition, is enhanced thanks to some correct colors, a very powerful brightness and the rate of 120 Hz refresh rate.
Regarding its components, it has the latest on the market: Snapdragon 865, 12GB RAM and 512GB of storage, although this cannot be extended externally. All this ensemble, supported by a battery of 4.260 mAh and a 65W fast charge, make performance a real joy.
Regarding the camera system, in its rear part we have 3 elements:
- Angular 48 megapixels.
- Wide angle 48 megapixels.
- Telephoto lens 13-megapixel lens with 10x hybrid zoom and 5x optical zoom.
This set left us with a more than correct experience in the photographic section, with good colors, exposure, and even the digital macro mode is good. Of course, get ready for a very pronounced module with which it will be practically impossible for you to handle the phone when it is resting on any surface.

- Elegant and attractive design.
- High quality AMOLED screen and 120 Hz refresh rate.

- Camera module too prominent. It can be solved with a cover.
- Accidental touches by curved glass.
- It has no wireless charging.
Realm 7
If you are looking for a phone with a good quality / price ratio, this is the one. really 7. It is a smartphone with more than correct specifications, incorporating the Helio G95 processor, with models of 4 – 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. This set makes the experience both in simple tasks and in the most demanding ones very good and extremely fluid, thanks also to the refresh rate of 90 Hz from your screen.
All these components are accompanied by 5.000 mAh battery and a 30W fast charge that, together, will allow us to reach the end of the day without any problem.
Regarding the cameras, this one has a module on the back that includes its 4 lenses:
- Wide angle of 48 megapixels.
- Wide Angle of 8 megapixels and 119º of vision.
- Macro with which we can get up to 4 centimeters from the object.
- Black and white portrait sensor.
A set of lenses that, despite being a low-end smartphone, will leave us with photographs with good colors and a correct white balance. Perhaps the wide angle and the macro sensor lose a little more quality compared to the main one, but it is common in this type of sensor.

Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite
Taking into account the number of launches that Xiaomi A year ago and most of these tend to be extremely solvent, one of these models could not be missing from the collection of our favorite smartphones.
The chosen one has been Xiaomi Mi 10 Litea phone with a screen 6,57″ AMOLED which looks very good. Then we find different alternatives in terms of memories:
- 6 GB RAM + 64 GB ROM
- 6 GB RAM + 128 GB ROM
- 8 GB RAM + 256 GB ROM (available according to markets)
And, all these accompanied by the processor Snapdragon 765G, which has compatibility with 5G networks. The experience of using this phone on a day-to-day basis is outstanding, both in terms of performance and fluidity when using it for any task.
We also find a very reliable photographic section, with 4 sensors on the back: a 48-megapixel main lens, an 8-megapixel wide-angle lens, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and a 2-megapixel macro.
In short, with all this set of features, it is practically impossible not to recommend this Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite for those users who want one of the best experiences at the lowest price.

- Of its 4 sensors, 3 of them do not stand out too much in quality compared to the main one.
iPhone 12
We are sure that the iPhone 12 will be this year's bestseller for Apple phones. In our video analysis we already told you that we really liked that they recovered the design of previous models, something that a large number of users requested.
But, although aesthetically it may resemble previous models, internally it brings the latest of the latest technology. Among all its components we wanted to highlight the chip A14 Bionic, which gives it the same power and, therefore, experience as its older brothers.
Another point where this model has clearly improved is in its cameras. We find the same dual camera as in the previous generation, with the 12 megapixel main lens and 12 megapixel wide angle. But, the sensors of these cameras now allow us to record 4K video up to 60 fps that has the technology of Dolby Vision HDR. What's the score? A video of incredible quality and very real colors, far from the feeling of unreality that other smartphones provide.

Huawei Mate 40 Pro
El Mate 40 Pro It is an almost complete product, although with limitations, as we already mentioned in our video review when it was launched.
It is a smartphone with a bulky 6,76 ″ OLED display where we hardly find frames, reaching next to the curvature, to the edge of its sides. So much so that, on certain occasions and uses, it seemed to us too much curvature. But this is something more anecdotal than problematic in the use of this panel.
As usual in Huawei, they mount their own processor Kirin 9000 5G, who they accompany 8 GB of RAM and models of 256GB or 512GB of storage. We can say little in the performance section that you can't imagine the best launch of the year from this company. In summary, we could say that it can handle everything we throw at it.
And, as for the set of cameras, we find a triple set of lenses:
- Angular 50 megapixels.
- Telephoto lens 20 megapixels with 5x optical zoom.
- Wide angle 20 megapixels.
What is then the drawback of this Mate 40 Pro? Well, in case you weren't up to date on technological news, this phone does not have Google services. This means that we will not be able to use apps like Gmail. Google Maps and YouTube, or download apps through Google Play. Although, to alleviate this, Huawei continues to work on its own app store, the App Gallery, which has more and more content.

Samsung Galaxy S20FE
The Samsung family has increased the number of releases of its S20 with this Galaxy S20FE. A smartphone practically identical in design to the "dry" S20, but with a slightly larger panel that reaches to the 6,5" and a lower resolution that goes up to FullHD +.
Regarding its internal components, this S20 FE incorporates a processor Snapdragon 865, 6 – 8 GB RAM and 128 – 256 GB storage models. A set that, as usual within this family that Samsung renews every year, gives it a performance that meets any task.
In the photographic section we find a set of 3 cameras on the back:
- Angular 12 megapixels.
- Telephoto 8 megapixels with a 3x optical zoom.
- Wide angle 12 megapixels.
These cameras leave us very balanced photographs at all points, highlighting a lot during the day. Although, as expected, when night falls, the quality of these accompanies it.

These have been our favorite smartphones of this 2020. We hope one of yours matches our pick, and if you've been in the market for a new phone, we can't recommend any better options than these.
