Best Smartphones of 2022 (So Far)

Best Smartphones of 2022 (So Far)

Reviewing the top 10 best smartphones that I’ve unboxed and tested in 2022 so far, including my favourite camera phones, gaming handsets and those blowers offering the greatest value. From the Oppo Find X5 series and Realme GT2 (& GT 2 Pro) to the lovable Xiaomi 12 and Vivo X80 Pro, these are my picks for the best phones recently launched.

Of course we still have half the year left and there’s big devices like the Google Pixel 6a and Pixel 7, Xiaomi 12 Ultra and more lingering on the horizon. Also, if you’re on a tight budget, check out my review round-ups of the slickest smartphones under £400, £300 and £200 here on Tech Spurt.

My personal favourite handsets from 2022 include the Oppo Find X5 Pro, which is impressive in every area and costs from £1049 in the UK right now. The Xiaomi 12, which is the best compact blower with no compromise to battery life – like the S22 should have been. Also, the Realme GT2 phones are great value for money if you don’t mind losing some non-essential features like wireless charging.

Unboxing videos and reviews of all of these mobiles are live right now on the channel.

    I love This Clickbait of Yours ♥️



  9. Imthiyas Mohamed on June 18, 2022 at 11:58 pm

    Your background is really annoying. Why don’t keep default wallpaper?



  10. Tony Horrocks on June 18, 2022 at 11:58 pm

    Do you get to keep all the review blowers? Are you allowed to sell them? Or have you got a room full😁😁



  11. Paul Lewis on June 18, 2022 at 11:59 pm

    I got the s22(exynos) and to be fair the battery is great for me 😊.
    I’ve even managed to get 2 days battery and around 6 hours sot in a single charge.
    Only thing I don’t do is gaming on it but it’s not a gaming phone so…..



  12. mario on June 18, 2022 at 11:59 pm

  14. 8bit Utopia on June 19, 2022 at 12:00 am

    Imma be honest, I got drawn in to this guy’s videos because his thumbnails had anime and geek stuff in his phone’s wallpapers lmao

    I guess that’s one way to get an audience…?



  15. Edwin on June 19, 2022 at 12:03 am

    You liked both the Xiaomi 12 en 12 Pro. What about the 12X?



  16. Levi Legends on June 19, 2022 at 12:03 am

    How about Best midrange phone so far?

  18. noor malik on June 19, 2022 at 12:07 am

    I thought you would include S21 Fe



  19. MarsRonin on June 19, 2022 at 12:08 am

    Moved from Xiaomi to the Oppo Find X5 Pro and could not be happier. I am not much of gamer but the long battery life and fantastic camera are perfect for me. Throw in the 80W SuperVOOC boot and I won’t be changing for a while.



  20. TNS on June 19, 2022 at 12:08 am

    Thank you for fu***ng the iPhone se..



  21. James Rhodes on June 19, 2022 at 12:08 am

  24. Salman Evadam on June 19, 2022 at 12:10 am

    I just got a Samsung F23.. seems pretty good but never really found a proper review.. wish u had one mate. 🙁



  25. Edward Grafton on June 19, 2022 at 12:12 am

    I actually like the Samsung Galaxy S22 phone it looks so sexy but I can’t afford to buy it so the phone that I’am using right now is the Oppo Find X2 Lite I have only started to use it today.



  26. euge Magayones on June 19, 2022 at 12:14 am

    X80pro Top 1



  27. Mark Drewitt on June 19, 2022 at 12:14 am

    Is it worth upgrading from an old P30 Pro? I’m coming to that time of year (or bi year) again and aren’t seeing anything that’s a big improvement.



  28. Badmoms Jen on June 19, 2022 at 12:16 am

    Fantastic



  29. KENNYD inthePhilippines on June 19, 2022 at 12:17 am

    None of them all a big disappointment



  30. Racer Guy on June 19, 2022 at 12:19 am

    All so cool 😍😍😍😍😍



  31. Rubidacherry on June 19, 2022 at 12:19 am

    Best midrange all rounder realmes 9 pro plus x)



  32. jhg 9798 on June 19, 2022 at 12:21 am

    USB 3.1. Dear tech spurt. Most "tech experts" here on youtube are not able understanding difference between USB C and USB 3.1. If you are able understanding these basics I would highly aporeciate a review of phones with DP capacity as I need to buy a new computer with phone capacity. Otherwise remain believing blue cars are faster than red as most fact resistent NPC here on YouTube do.



  33. CamoTech on June 19, 2022 at 12:22 am

    "there’s iPhones if that’s your bag"… No thanks buddy I don’t waste my money 🤑



  34. Tech Spurt on June 19, 2022 at 12:22 am

    Heyyyyy thanks for watching this thing, I invite you to question my judgement and personal hygiene down in the comments below, as well as SMASHing the subscribes etc. Cheers!



  35. amirbahalegharn365 on June 19, 2022 at 12:22 am

    GT2 base model (6+128G with 5000mah) with price tag of 330$ Chian version from aliexpress is a steal considering it checks lots of boxes for a flagship killer(flagship soc,Flagship camera Sensor OIS,fast charging & large battery capacity,good stereo speakers,great display specs)



  36. BobGeorge on June 19, 2022 at 12:25 am

    I’ll wait best under display camera phone next year



  37. JackLR on June 19, 2022 at 12:26 am

    iPhone 13 mini >



  38. Dimitri Гордиенко on June 19, 2022 at 12:26 am

    I have realme GT 2 Pro in Paper Green 💚 Awesome device



  39. MikhailaMikhaila on June 19, 2022 at 12:30 am

    I love how you didn’t mention a single iphone in this video… until the end.



  40. Diana on June 19, 2022 at 12:31 am

    vivo x80 pro plus stands out of crowd.



  41. Galaxius Pilgrim on June 19, 2022 at 12:33 am

  42. Hamza Malhi on June 19, 2022 at 12:34 am

    Where do you get your wallpapers from?



  43. Jacobus Mostert on June 19, 2022 at 12:38 am

    Wow, there are so many options! Looking to upgrade from a OnePlus 6, but can’t choose 😅



  44. chris kanaiza on June 19, 2022 at 12:39 am

    How you described the iPhone SE sends me😂😂😂



  45. caspyberry on June 19, 2022 at 12:39 am

    I again ask where do you get the wallpapers



  46. David Bezzant on June 19, 2022 at 12:39 am

    Bro you got me good at the iPhone "shit edition" part I was literally shaking with rage haha what a pathetic cash grab that phone is



  47. Roger Dodger on June 19, 2022 at 12:40 am

    Pre-ordered the Aquos R7 from Docomo.



  48. Abdur Rafay on June 19, 2022 at 12:44 am

    Why you didn’t include Google pixel 6



  49. Zemtex on June 19, 2022 at 12:46 am

    Well well I noticed the videos and picks from barcelona!



  50. Yannick Wolfe on June 19, 2022 at 12:46 am

    I have to say, for a video titled Best Smartphones on 2022, it’s a bit disappointing.

    Which one are the best? You qualify most of theses phones as disappointing in some ways so why are they featured in the video? 🤔
