Not mentioning vivo x70 pro plus in camera is surprising…
Google 6A Pro ?
I have the 13 Pro Max. I agree with all of the Android 12 and Pixel 6 love.
Flip is the best phone i ever used. Its smooth , fast and looking cute.
Awesome
Very happy with the Galaxy S20 FE, which wasn’t part of this list. Got a huge deal with a trade-in of $300 on my old S9, dropping the price to $399 and it does everything I want. Samsung kept the SD slot in place for extra storage and the missing headphone jack is a nonissue for me since I use Samsung’s ear buds+. If you’re looking for value, this may be a good one.
ايفون وبس
Xperia has the best camera
Did he just say "pixel 6a and 6a pro" ? 🤦🤦
My goodness. It’s so embarrassing.
Iphone is 🤤love
poco f3
In MKBHD I Trust
➡️great job➡️
I love the fact that Android gives you si much freedom that you can almost use it as a computer. You can do anything you want with it. It’s designed for this.
But on the other hand iOS has so many mind blwoing feautures and pros. The software/hardware/apps harmonisation how they all match together is impresive.
Have been a galaxy user for a long time. Now its time to bite into the apple again.
Happily i will keep my old but still gold Galaxy Tab S (the first i think) so i wont be forced to pay for all premium apps.
So were you guys doing an in stock advertisement for Best buy, Walmart what?
Did you boys know they make other phone models that you can buy online to try out? 🤣.
So, here a question. What smartphone in 2021 under $500/£500/€500 (apart from an iPhone or an old Pixel) has the most accurate front and selfie camera photo quality in terms of skin tones and dynamic range? I will wait. Cheers.
Cnet….which would you buy between Samsung a52 5g vs Motorola g stylus 5g? Trying to stay in the $250-$400 range…closer to $300 that does all well.
So basically you did a review about the best 2021 phone stuck between three phones in a vast sea of smart phones. Way to go.
pixel 6 series is buggy and battery life is poor but os is ♥️♥️♥️
only 3 brands plus a bit of sony from you guys? wow~
At least fix your moustache! 😐
motorola ftw they have a fun for everyone. especially good for budgets. They have great and sadly overlooked flagships to
iPhone

Why do people still recognize iPhones, The least innovative phones on the market. Z flip is the best.
S21 ultra killed this year!
I returned the S21 Ultra and Picked up the Pixel 6 Pro
Pixel
Great video but Patrick failed to stick the landing, In naming the a Pixel 6 as an Editor’s Choice, he called it the Pixel 6A twice.
Majority of the Tech reviewers favored the s21 Ultra. 🔥 Truly a king
whats this way of emphasizing "bast auf twanty twanty wan !!! " 🤮
whos this idiot ? Wheres Lexy ? Wheres Patrick ?
Its tough choice for me now choosing between pixel 6 and mi 12 6.2in. I love the mi 12 design make pixel 6 still a bit chunky but losing out on fantastic os system in pixel is major problem.
Ok we got it. This guy likes the Google phones….
The fold 3 is super impressive as a tablet and phone combo. Nothing can compare.
Piexl 6
Lol.
So… which one won CNET Editor’s Choice Award?
Lovely review as always
Still with the mustache
Pixel 6a??
iPhone 13 Pro max I think is the best smart phone because of the bigger battery, promotion display and cameras
I’ve never heard anybody call it the Pixel 6A and 6A Pro. Did I miss something?
Have you heard of POCO F3?
➡️am moving on with him ➡️
➡️in every work he did is good ➡️
watched for the beasties mug
Using the Pixel 6 and loving it
Happy Samsung galaxy A32 user here.
