    Hello, ive got a question. Is it worth it to get the Xiaomi Mi 11i for €480, compared to the Poco F3’s €400 price? Just wondering if that extra €80 is worth it



  2. Κώστας Χ on March 20, 2022 at 6:00 pm

    So Mi11i is better than Xiaomi 11T & Oneplus nord 2?



  3. Tafadzwa Danny on March 20, 2022 at 6:01 pm

  14. Olugbenga on March 20, 2022 at 6:12 pm

    Last great phone from OnePlus in OnePlus 8pro



  15. Echo VD on March 20, 2022 at 6:12 pm

    Why are we still promoting shady Chinese Telecom lmao



  16. Zash Vladimir on March 20, 2022 at 6:13 pm

    I am so confused…Mi11X Pro is a western version of which xiaomi phone?



  17. jehad78 on March 20, 2022 at 6:14 pm

    Interesting they didn’t mention the Apple 13 Pro battery life and charge times……



  18. Ivan on March 20, 2022 at 6:14 pm

    Available in Indonesia:
    300€ : Poco F3
    500€ Xiaomi 11T

    Mi 11 Ultra, Galaxy S21 Ultra, iPhone 13 Pro Max



  19. Guy on March 20, 2022 at 6:15 pm

    Which mi 11 will work in US the 11 T or 11x pro?



  20. bobsort on March 20, 2022 at 6:17 pm

    Few tiny issues, card slot is a necessity for android devices, without that you will have hard time moving your files to PC for backup specially that they reduced adb access for backup (Yes MTP is still buggy even though android advanced 7 version since the bug was discovered). 2 card sloth is necessary in some countries, this is the case when company A has better Internet plan and crazy expensive call plan attached to it and company B gives a better call plan and worst in the world data connectivity, you have no choice to have 2 sims in your phone at all time and adding the precondition for sd slot, I cannot consider a phone that doesn’t have 2sim+dedicated card as a good option



  21. duke togo on March 20, 2022 at 6:17 pm

    S21 ultra hands down and of course the 13 pro max .



  22. Connor Mcleod on March 20, 2022 at 6:18 pm

    Folding phones are more interesting than these boring slabs.



  23. Vikram Gupta on March 20, 2022 at 6:18 pm

    Not finding Realme X7 Max known in India by this), IQOO7, Realme GTNeo2 in this list.



  24. Dibyaranjan Ojha on March 20, 2022 at 6:21 pm

    I think you consider only hardware and performance but you should consider the experience as well. Even premium phones carrying spammy pre-installed apps. Also ask so many permissions. So kindly talk about that.



  25. 서우진 on March 20, 2022 at 6:21 pm

    I dont agree with this list when it comes to the flagships. The Galaxy S21 Ultra should have been the Flagship of the year instead of the iPhone. Its just minimal and super incremental upgrades for the iPhone (which they always do and is a joke at this point) while bumping up price. The iPhone should have been a runner up with the Galaxy S21 Ultra as the flagship of the year. A lot of lists list the S21 Ultra as the best phone out there. Better screens and design than the iphone, more versatile cameras, similar performance, better battery life, S-pen support, DEX mode, faster charging. The list should have been: S21 Ultra, Pixel 6 Pro, Xiaomi Mi11, and the iPhone 13 Pro.



  26. Rayen Harchay on March 20, 2022 at 6:22 pm

    Samsung’s Camera bump is definitely not a looker??????!!!!!!!! Lol okay



  27. TheDiablosix6six on March 20, 2022 at 6:25 pm

    No pixel 6!! By far the best phone for the money!!



  28. Naveen Balineni on March 20, 2022 at 6:26 pm

    Where is the Vivo X70 Pro+ ??? It’s one of the best Android flagship of the year



  29. Pale Vamp on March 20, 2022 at 6:27 pm

  30. Lame Footages on March 20, 2022 at 6:29 pm

  31. Scientific Artist on March 20, 2022 at 6:30 pm

    Your voice reminds me of Elizabeth Holmes.



  32. ZALZALAH on March 20, 2022 at 6:30 pm

  35. H S on March 20, 2022 at 6:32 pm

    The sony experia 3 is to tall otherwise i would buy

    Google pixel is ok yet to expensive at 17 000 ZAR

    The I phone is 10 000 ZAR but only has 1.100mh battery

    Forward to your technical and development department to make a killer affordable nokia midranger with 5000mh battery, 50megapixel camera and more than 6 gig ram

    Nokia is back , they welcome to contact me about design features I would include Dimensions: 141.7 x 67.3 x 8.6 mm
    Weight: 150g Display: 5.3 inches, 720 x 1480 pixels, 18.5:9 aspect ratio, IPS LCD screen



  36. Christian Paul on March 20, 2022 at 6:33 pm

    Sony is just a lowkey flagship killer



  37. Jahangir Mehta on March 20, 2022 at 6:34 pm

    How is 13 pro innovative in anyway ? How is any apple phone from last 3 years innovative at all ? They have same design, nearly same features . How is that innovative ?



  38. Jazzyx on March 20, 2022 at 6:36 pm

    It is the google pixel 6 for me. Best at its price.



  39. Dejan Antić on March 20, 2022 at 6:40 pm

    What do you think about buying Samsung s 20 fe with SD 865 at the moment? The price is similar to the Realmi GT and moto edge 20 pro.



  40. 3EF _ on March 20, 2022 at 6:42 pm

    2:06 I got a brand new global 12gb ram 128gb realme gt for 250 euro



  41. sopnir ahmed on March 20, 2022 at 6:44 pm

    Biased towards Apple as always.



  42. mba precious on March 20, 2022 at 6:46 pm

    U said s21 ultra is heavy n slippery as well as mi 11 ultra but u chose 13 pro max’ s robustness n bulk
    Such bullshit, just say u’re an apple fangirl that’s all



  43. Garrett Reyman on March 20, 2022 at 6:48 pm

    I love the random outros with the three of them on these videos.



  44. Godless on March 20, 2022 at 6:49 pm

    Redmagic 6r is only 400 usd. It has sd 888. Ridiculous price.



  45. mose machuka on March 20, 2022 at 6:51 pm

    I should go for oneplus 9 pro. The phone is amazing in every aspect



  46. xeth on March 20, 2022 at 6:54 pm

    got the realme gt master edition for £230 and it’s the best value out there easily



  47. Gilber Jorge Placencia Guerrero on March 20, 2022 at 6:54 pm

    Where is the Oppo find X3 Pro?🙃



  48. MANO Republic on March 20, 2022 at 6:54 pm

    what phone is the host using episode please ?😊



  49. smashingwarden on March 20, 2022 at 6:54 pm

    Don’t understand why you say the Mi 11t is the better deal over the Mi 11i (X Pro). The 11t has a slightly bigger battery, faster charging and Gorilla Glass Victus vs Gorilla 5 on the Mi 11i. But the rest is the same with a big exception. You can’t compare the Dimensity 1200 on the Mi 11t with the Snapdragon 888 on the Mi 11i. For exactly the same price on Xiaomi’s Mi Store in my country at least, I don’t see how you can recommend the one with lower cpu/gpu performance.



  50. Tracy Salazar on March 20, 2022 at 6:57 pm

    China fan, unsubed
