Slight correction: The figures used at the beginning should be Millions…not Billions, not sure what happened there 😂 To see the video I made about my favourite Smartphone Gadgets:
i dont mind paying $900 for a phone except that next year i know they will release a newer and better one so it feels like i waste money. So they have kind of created this "problem" themselves. Namely that people prefer mid range over flagships caus they update the flagship line too fast and it never feels like you get a good deal
Why do they not try making a mid-range smart phone, with no front camera, but improved rear camera technology. This would also give full screen video at the front. Not everyone takes selfies or needs face-unlock. This choice I feel would lead to success. Instead they want to remove the one thing that I do use, the headphone jack. I would like to see a manufacturer step up here and try this, I think others would copy. The form factor we have now should be open to variation.
Very good, especially like the psychology part. You missed the point that income squeeze idue to the financial crisis in 2008 led to people wanting functionality at a price. I would also argue that if the price of the flagship went up solely because of the tech being used then that tech was not ready to go to market. A lot of the price rising could be attributed to finding out what we are prepared to pay for the latest tech, then simply setting the price at that level.
If only I have the money, I will buy a flagship for sure, but I can only afford a mid-range, but the mid-range I bought has a flagship level performance.
Apples revenue is $300 million a minute because the have managed to brainwash children that it's the 'must-have' phone in their peer group. Oh and of course the tossers in the City
7:42 that s not the future, that s exactly how it is now. All the phones are the same, especially when they re off. Just glass slabs. And when they re on, beside the notch, they all do the same … literally. And folding phones, it s the same, but they break easier … The plateau has been reaches since long.
Been a subscriber since long…just wanted to say bro you have broadcast quality Voice …I am not sure why the BBC hasn't reached you out for their documentaries and News !! Love your content and presentation…keep up the good work.
I always buy old flagships, my rule is 2 years old – great prices. Why would anyone need a new phone every year or twice per year? My 2017 iPhone 8 does amazing photos and videos and works great still.
That's why I buy my phones 2nd hand when I can. I can get flag ship phones for mid tier prices. Sure, a new flagship might be out by the time I can get a former flagship for a reasonable price, but I'll give up phones before I spend more then £500 on one.

Samsung m30s is the king
You’re right, A sub would be amazing right about now, im thinking italian
A10e it's not bad I'm upgrading to the a70
How about budget flagships
I am switching from my s7 to the s10 lite
OnePlus all day, super fast charging, good battery life and very fast in general
It's just because there's more of poor people
I use a tab a 10.1 for my video editing and everything, it blows me away, my Samsung a30 is also good enough
I always just get last generation flagships once the new ones come out
Can confirm. Running a Xiaomi Mi Max 3 and its awesome.
Can you make a review of the Huawei nova 5. I'm planning on buying one. But I want to see a review from the boss.
Super amoled and dynamic amoled
I uses love samsung flagship by its lovely display and design 🥰🥰🥰
S9 plus owner and asus max pro m2 owner
Very knowledgeable video
👍👍
Hey Arun.. I just saw Mr Marques Brownlee in ur video.. I think u guys made a collab previously..Am I correct??
Oneplus has left the chat
Are we really going to make fun of apple because of the cameras?
Look at that this thing looks like a full set of ovens
Same with cars The 'best one' always have to have all the features when the cheaper ones have better more in point when it comes to package
soo…. what is a USD200 phone? to me that is expensive
If only I have the money, I will buy a flagship for sure, but I can only afford a mid-range, but the mid-range I bought has a flagship level performance.
Loved that China reference

Oneplus 7 gang?
$300 gang. Already on android 10 because of Android one program and my phone is bloatware free. The budget segment is the best
3:11 why is seeing someone out in the wild with an unprotected cellphone(no case) so cringey/scary?
way too many micro zoom jumps on static shots. horrible trend on YouTube.
Impressive thinking and explaining, just what I was looking for
whats the phone on the left on thumbnail?
1:10 me vs my crush
hi
Ugh chorona virus
Watchin in Galaxy A10 👌
