What's an $800 phone with a telephoto and ultrawide camera and the latest chipset? The base s23. I would add the Pixel 8 pro on this list and remove the 8 and 7a. These phones have a mid chipset with poor efficiency. The pixel 8 is even crippled by google themselves in software so we'll buy the 8 pro.

Love how usb c is a "Like" for the iPhone, but not the Androids

S23 deserves to be on the list rather than those crappy pixel phones 😂

Also how does galaxy get the disadvantage of been expensive, when it the same price as 14pro max. Ps: the promax was mentioned but the s23+(cheaper) wasn't.

I got the honor 90 for 2nd phone, it is surprisingly good next to my iPhone 14 pro max

I miss the old times when videos like this aren’t as predictable because there’s way more competition.

Typing on my iPhone 15 pro. I love it 📱🫶🏾

[Ambarishghosh]

[wiwingmargahayu]

[NourMoghrabi]

You guys should do the top 5 smart watch

It’s amazing on how conditioned we all are into thinking iPhones are good phones, especially since the new generation is almost the same as the previous generation.

[navixaxa]

No one's gonna talk about the 60Hz Refresh Rate in 2023?

And that weak Titanium, whose PVD Coating's coming off easily, and back glass shattering easily?

[jejunamja]

Oh good list I wouldn’t pay 500 for the pixel 7a but last week it was on sale. What was it $375 that was a great deal.

[tusharkompella]

Am a pixel 8 pro user and I feel it deserves also alongside pixel 8

[tnductai]

every year, it's always galaxy, iphone, pixel or the mainstream ones... how about phones like honor magic v2 or lesser known brand like nothing?

[missdemeanor]

I love my pixel 8 but it stutters in some apps

[WillHorton]

I've been an iphone user since the 3GS but I must say based on my opinion I love my google pixel fold over my 15pro.. Don't sleep on Google.

How could you put a 60 hertz phone on the list😂

[Megatron-slus]

What about budget phones? Non Apple or Pixel phones.

[mohamadabogoddehsabbagh]

the list without nothing phone 2 ! really
