    I think 2020 isn’t the year to call a 4000 mAh huge. Also, that camera module on the TCL 10L is hugely ugly.

    Blu?!!



  4. JustSayYeah on October 16, 2020 at 5:24 pm

    Lg g8

    I have an S8 and have loved it, but three years in and the battery is poor and the power button has started to come loose. time for an upgrade, but the S20 and note 20 are getting a lot of negative feedback so looking around to see what might be an alternative, or even stop gap phone until the galaxy launch the 21 series.

    best budget phones imo… Galaxy A51, Realme 6 & Redmi Note 9 Pro



  7. Tadas Aš on October 16, 2020 at 5:27 pm

    Brand new 512gb s10+ costs 450€ on aliexpress



  8. Adam Hammack on October 16, 2020 at 5:27 pm

    I LOVE my Pixel 3A. Camera is unbeatable, and I get 2 days’ battery life most of the time (during quarantine, anyway)…

    Moto G Power here and loving it for $229. How did you get the finger print scanner to pull down notifications?



  14. Doom's Way on October 16, 2020 at 5:33 pm

    Gdht



  15. Aasim Ahmed on October 16, 2020 at 5:35 pm

    Nobody calls 5000mah huge in 2020, it’s the norm



  16. Cassia on October 16, 2020 at 5:36 pm

    I’d always buy an old model flagship over a budget special.
    be interested to see a comparison video



  17. Chazz Ram on October 16, 2020 at 5:36 pm

    The best consideration of you could’ve done was to mention the Nokia I have a Nokia 7.1 and for such a cheap price I got one of the best mid range phones on the market absolutely amazing phone…best investment I’ve made in a phone in DECADES…



  18. xotvi on October 16, 2020 at 5:37 pm

    It’s funny, how I’m fascist about nose rings.

    Get a new narrator. This guy is terribly annoying.



  26. Lukmanul Hakkim on October 16, 2020 at 5:49 pm

  28. إبن العراق on October 16, 2020 at 5:51 pm

    Best phone under 400$ in my country will be either s10lite (360$) in my country or (x2pro) (330$)



  29. Brian Craigen on October 16, 2020 at 5:53 pm

    📱 If you get the chance I would get the Pixel 3a XL. I love this phone more than I love the Pixel 4. It is plain simple and works great and has a way longer battery life than the 4. Just remember the 3aXL is NOT WATER PROOF and really NOT WATER RESISTANT. I splashed it and now there is a line down the screen. It was a great phone for a very long time before that.
    💧📲 😕☹️ 😢
    Now, I’ll just have to get the screen replaced.

    How well do any of these phones handle multi-tasking? I’m coming from a pixel 1. I don’t want to down-grade in that ability.



  31. Freddy Nicholas on October 16, 2020 at 5:54 pm

    Moto



  32. Reetu Ilmari on October 16, 2020 at 5:55 pm

    Why not any Xiaomi phones? They are incredible value!



  33. william castle on October 16, 2020 at 5:56 pm

    Pixel 3(not 3a) on Amazon/renewed for ~$250 is a crazy good deal. An excellent if not still one of the best cameras, stock Android 11(which is awesome), excellent form factor and decent battery life. Waterproof and wireless charging as well.



  34. John Scigulinsky on October 16, 2020 at 5:57 pm

    you might also wanna know that there are last years’ flagships available for a lot less than their MSRP… I got the LG G8s for around 350€. Even flagships from 2 years ago have chips that can stand up to the current Snapdragon 6xx or 7xx series, plus you usually get vastly superior camera tech. They usually do get newer versions of Android still, but if you’re in a pinch, a custom ROM might be helpful there…



  35. IAmGoombaSniper on October 16, 2020 at 5:57 pm

    I wanted a fingerprint scanner so bad in the logo on the Nexus 6, and all these years later they finally did it when we already have them in display.



  36. SubaruForester2015 on October 16, 2020 at 5:57 pm

    I wish Apple put fingerprint reader in the logo, would be so cool !



  37. Martin Smith on October 16, 2020 at 5:59 pm

    I’ll never buy anything from Motorola again. A few years ago, I had a great phone. The Moto G4. However, at some point, the battery started acting weird. It would go from 93% to 13% in half an hour. sometimes, it would just never hold a charge and power down after 5 minutes. It was a known issue and Motorola ever did anything to fix it



  38. See Email on October 16, 2020 at 6:00 pm

    S10 lite goes for about $380 USD on eBay. Just got that last week around this price point. The value of what I felt I get over the mid range just isn’t justified to me. Otherwise I was going to get the s20+.



  39. newfnshow031 on October 16, 2020 at 6:00 pm

    The screen on the Moto g is terrible and the network connection and cameras are bad plus you only get one os update



  40. Chetan salunke on October 16, 2020 at 6:01 pm

    Over here in India the thing he wearing in his nose is a part of women’s ornaments so it looks so weird and ugly on beard guy… rather the same thing should be in his ear that would definitely look Dope 😉



  41. N9IBZED on October 16, 2020 at 6:02 pm

    Unless the notch gets killed be it a notch a teardrop or punch hole cut out I will be sticking with my Google Pixel 4XL as my daily driver and my iphone SE as my back up because even the cheap android phones have that stupid display intrusion and to me that is a deal killer



  42. bakervanb v2 on October 16, 2020 at 6:02 pm

    No OnePlus Nord????



  43. Alfie cox on October 16, 2020 at 6:02 pm

    Xcloud anyone?😂



  44. Mehdi D. River on October 16, 2020 at 6:07 pm

    The xiaomi mi a3 6gb and 128gb version is currently my personnal phone since 4 months, really satisfied with, but some laggin while scrolling especially are noticable here and there but nothing majore, the cameras are doing great especially with the google camera app with a great battey life.



  45. Kongolox on October 16, 2020 at 6:08 pm

    notch.. no thx



  46. Chemy Torres on October 16, 2020 at 6:10 pm

    Nice selection



  47. Mr Y am I not Surprised on October 16, 2020 at 6:12 pm

    Moto g has one more problem its updates are very rare and sometimes none



  48. JogBird on October 16, 2020 at 6:12 pm

    imo $400 is still too expensive



  49. Shane P. on October 16, 2020 at 6:12 pm

    This guy looks like a knock off Harry Potter



  50. Geeky basil empire on October 16, 2020 at 6:12 pm

    All samsung phones are my choice
