Subtle Advertising?

"FORGET THE NEW GALAXY S10. THESE PHONES ARE BETTER DEALS"
https://www.wired.com/story/best-samsung-galaxy-phone-alternatives/

The article is by WIRED, a popular news site about technology. It tries to persuade the audience that there are better alternatives than the new Galaxy S10. Ironically the first suggestion is the older Galaxy S9.

Near the very end of the article, other brands like Google Pixel 3, OnePlus 6T, and LG G7 are listed(also as a cheaper alternative).


Are they actual recommendation, or did companies pay to advertise their products? For more than a decade, Apple was the mainstream phone, then the rise of Samsung. Now we are seeing a lot of other cellphone brands in the market.
