2024 was the year of maturity: AI settled in everywhere, foldables slimmed down, flagship prices soared. The five phones that truly counted — and their current value on the Algerian market.
1. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
Anti-glare changed screens for good, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 set the bar, and 7 years of updates fixed a new standard. Still top of the camera charts.
2. Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max
Camera Control and the bigger screen refined the formula. Resale value remains the market's absolute reference.
3. Xiaomi 14 Ultra
The camera phone of the year: Leica optics, 1-inch sensor. Importers sold out fast.
4. Honor Magic V3
The foldable that weighed less than an iPhone Pro Max: engineering broke a ceiling. Foldables became carryable.
5. Google Pixel 9
AI as a foundation, not an argument. Photo editing changed real usage.
And for 2025?
Ultra-thin, silicon-carbon batteries, deep on-device AI: 2025's seeds were already visible. Our comparator tracks the still-available five at today's prices.
