1. Well said Jason!!!! That Note 9 is BEAST!!!!! And The Apple Watch Series 4 is Bae ???

2. Do a video about having to use/or not to use cases on smartphones in 2018. Do you personally prefer them?

3. I’ve used 2 of the 3 devices as daily drivers, the Note9 and the Xr, and enjoyed both of them for different reasons. I do tend to lean towards Apple products but I do agree, the Note9 is the POTY. It’s amazing what Samsung has packed into that device.

4. Hey Jason, how about the LG V30+? Any thoughts on this great phone? Thanks for the great content this year.

5. rocken' my iphone se for 50 bucks

6. 100K sub adds in 2018?!!! ??There are lots of 1m+ tech TYers I don't sub to, but I had to in this case, because there's nothing else like PHT. Keep growing in 2019, Jason.

7. no phone has been able to win favor over my beloved Note 5.

8. Note 9 still loving it dear iPhone finger print scanner and fast charger in the box from the start please

9. Happy New year to you jas and your family and thank you for all your hard work to bring me enjoyment

10. I got the note 9 and honestly its a lot better then the iPhone 7 I had

11. Behooves!

12. I just can't get past its screen on the X r. Spec sheet aside, the difference is immediately noticeable. Apple compromised on the wrong things and the price is too high for what you're getting. For similar money the 8 Plus us an overall better device. I agree that the Note 9 is the best overall phone ov the year for the same reasons listed.

13. frequently, the inconsistency of a fingerprint reader is a misplaced finger.

14. Great video Jason, I have to agree with all your choices all though I don't have note9 experience from what you have been saying it's a power house …
    I bought the OnePlus 6 T it's an amazing phone at a really sensible price, great value! I love it ….

15. I agree, the note 9 was the best, but the apple watch is so good it made me stay with my old phone 6s for another year.

16. I watch all your videos..love your take on tech!! Still rocking my Pixel 2…My iPhone X is in my drawer and like you I bought and sold a note 9..I'm thinking about trying the Xiaomi mi mix 3..thoughts anyone??

17. Agree. One thing: Honorable mention for Pocophone F1. Broke the pricing paradigm.

18. I think your content and information are lacking and your opinions change a lot. You seem to clickbait more than focus your so called painfully honest tech views. This is not a message for this particular video but in regards your previous videos. I think you need to focus on being painfully honest not what they said etc. When you praised the iPhone XR which is absolute rubbish for its price I lost respect in your opinions because you hated apples prices/ iPhones new phones but yet you supported a device that clearly rips off the public’s cash. I will never support a iPhone XR until it’s at actual budget PRICE with 1080p. Good luck for 2019. No hate just a point of view.

19. I love my OnePlus 6T, perfect except 2 issues. 1. Weak vibrator motor & 2. Speaker volume is a little low.

20. Yes…. Note 9 is really stands out among the lot….

21. Loving the room set up more with the monitors in the back

22. Steve Jobs is turning in his grave because of the direct Apple is taking. Zero innovation at this point. Losing market share like crazy. Apple will be pushed out of the market eventually. Can't survive Capitalism if you don't innovate and compete with everyone else.

23. Too bad you missed the Pocophone! Poco! Poco! Poco!

24. My list but there are so many I'm forgetting many but these are the guys I had to get to try this year that I liked: Asus ROG Phone, iPhone XS Max, S9+, Note 9, Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S, Asus Zenfone 5z, One Plus 6t, Poco F1.

25. Note 9 all the way

26. Watching this on my OnePlus 6T! For the Win! Best phone I've touched. Nice and smooth with great battery life! Don't need wireless charging when you have 22.5 watt charger.

27. insert comment about headphone jacks

28. Cool and good

30. “900 smartphones..” LOL

31. I’m already tracer.
