The bias is next level. They mention the entire Apple ecosystem as an advantage over the others while completely ignoring Samsung's ecosystem which in most cases equals or surpasses Apple's: Buds pro, Tab S7, Galaxy Watch, SmartTags, Galaxy Book, TVs, Sound system and countless other smart home appliances

Ultra is best overall it's very good in all categories

[rolins]

Otherwise, Samsung also has an ecosystem and it is much larger than Apple's.

And frankly to find the speakers of the S21 Ultra disappointing I think you will have to talk to your doctor about them during your annual check-up 🤧🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️.

November 1 security update fixed one of my biggest pet peeves with my Flip 3. It doesn't throttle as much any more! I played GameCube ROMs in hot weather and it no longer lags. Love it!

I love the pixel 6, best valuef for money

[rzawistowski]

I'm on a OnePlus 7t, considering switching to iPhone 13 (not pro). Any suggestions out there?

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is best smartphone of the year 2021

[sosiehtesaus]

I had only Samsung in the past few years and was very satisfied. S7Edge, 8, 9, 10, 20, S21Ultra, Zflip3 I have the normal Pixel 6 for 649 € and find it better than the S21ULTRA for 1349 €Of course not in all areas but just overall the best device for me at the moment

Turning off the 5G modem on the Pixel 6 Pro significantly improves battery life.

[amalsebastian]

I think the best all rounder us mi 11 ultra

[insro]

Let us stop cutting through the corners. The S21ULTRA is the best overall phone of 2021 period

[amrinulshaik]

Google announced they will give 5 years of software updates 🙄🙄🙄, hence pixel 6 has shaarp Iphone is so round....🙄🙄🙄

[barima-yaw]

Did he just say the Ultra has bad speakers?😂😂

[mwelsh]

The pixel overheats like crazy. Buy it if you want a nice hand warmer during the winter months. Let’s stop being crazy, the 13 pro max was the best phone released this year.

Been using the Pixel 6 since day 1. The quality is not up to Apple or Samsung's standard. Plus the "clean" OS is buggy.

[redunsettle]

Still rocking my galaxy note 9 from 2017. No problems at all. Will upgrade (not sure it will be an upgrade 🤣) next year to the regular S22.

Sorry but why is it that most of people thinks that camera make the phone instead of tech makes the phone? The tech community is slowly driven away from what is considered as tech to what accessories they prefer in the tech.
Let's say for example all who have choose pixel or iPhone is only for the camera... While back in the days best tech wasn't about how picture looks like! And it misleading the people to go buy a phone for camera that most of people don't even use it as much as possible to change their life! There is camera for pro if you want that feel of taking best picture but it shouldn't be the standard for a phone! Now all youtuber want to put in people's mind that the best phone should be the one taking the best photo basically... Please when can we all go back to the initial idea of having real value of a smartphone? Check all the reviews of phone in the past year and spend hours and hours only comparing photo quality and making tone of video only for photo... Sorry but it's boring. I love your work guys but we need a fresh breeze... Please 2022 should change that... Most of people in my surroundings doesn't even take pictures that much... And when I ask them why do you take this phone over the other they will say because on YouTube they said it's the best phone. And unfortunately the reviews was all about it camera.
So tech youtuber... Camera in a phone isn't what TECH is all about... Please spare us for 2022 this madness.
