  1. On the battery side of things I struggle to get / find extendable battery cases for the midrange phones but can easily source and buy (reasonably priced)battery cases for the older flagships therefore changing the dynamics of out and about battery life….

  2. Phones are like cars now. You buy an annual model and hope it will last a few years. Any new company which tries to do better and succeeds then ends up being the same as their competitors. OnePlus for example.

  3. I agree with every point except the first one. When Apple and Samsung have stopped giving you chargers, dongles, and cases, the budget phone companies still give you much better accessories nowadays. I bought a xiaomi phone with a charger, case, and dongle included in the box. Name one flagship phone with that many accessories included.

  4. It's not hardware but software why you'll still go for the midrange. That Note 9 is a much better phone but it's software support is lacking.

  5. Reasonable, and well thought through.
    I typically buy my phones phone during black Friday, or some 'after christmas' sale, just prior to new releases – because it's fairly easy to find very good deal on what soon will be 'last generation' hardware.
    For my parents though, I tend to recommend a new 'A-series' Samsung, because they've had Samsungs before and thus know their UI, and use some of their default apps. For whatever reason, the A-series Samsung phones seldom go on decent sale anyways, so I tend to get whatever is the newest that provide good value.

  6. I would love to see a video about age of phones to the extreme

    an example: how have phones changed: run through each year or a few year gaps on flagships, samsung s5-s21u for example

    idk, I would love to see how these extra old phones hold up and exactly how much change has happenned

  7. I wud go for the older flagship over the new budget phone simply for the flagship experience especially the cameras and the build quality hate the cheap plastic feel

  8. I rather have the old flagship than new midrange phone. I still have my samsung s8 phone and I am telling you it can easily outwins any midranger from 2021,specially on camera quality.

  9. I Just sobre agree with the draws. The flagship SOCs até much more power hungry bit they até a lot faster, and this is true even for New flagships. So i would give that for the flagships, since tou analised the battery life in other point. And the câmeras are nota even close. In a perfect situation all câmeras are great, but the world is not perfect, and thars where the flagship câmeras exceed. In low light, moviment, in trick situation, flagship câmeras will deliver a good enought photo, where the midrangers, problably will deliver a blury mess. Só, again, the cameras on the flagships are a lot better. In terms of value, onder flagships are in lightyears in front.

  10. Personally .. I've been thinking about
    Buying on eBay a Samsung Note 10 plus..a bit over $ 550.00 New

    However .. I could just go with the New Google pixel 6 Pro..or the Vivo x70 pro I think it's a Great Phone

    So still don't know..

  11. epic vid. still very nice to look. I think a redo would be cool this time with phones like oneplus nord2/7 Pro , Iphone 13 mini/XS and maybe xiaomi, samsung or google.
