As for palm rejection I never really had a problem with it, and Chris never mentions it so it's not a big deal compared to the downsides you get with color shifting.

    Pretty impressive Chris for a mid ranger!
    The phone has premium design and overall look. I am usually not a, fan of curved screens, but this, one looks way too good. The 778g is a cracker of a, chip set👏👏. Comparing to an 870 really says a lot. The only thing I don't get is lack of headphone jack, no SD card, and no stereo speakers. Add these three here and it would be pretty much perfect as a, mid ranger! 👌👌

      @@zakariadjm5895 if the phone Chris showed off in this review is a good example of a midrange choice, then something around this price range (or lower)? Anything much more beyond this would bring it too close to flagship range. Ideally the phone would receive a few years of support too (security patches and the like), I understand entire OS upgrades isn’t very likely - even with the higher end choices it’s not always a guarantee that lasts very long, after all.
      I think my TL;DR request would really boil down to; what’s the best bang-for-buck option that doesn’t sacrifice too much in functionality, is built well enough, and doesn’t cost a small fortune? :)

      The huawei MATE 10 got a update a week ago, and that phone is from 2017. So you are very wrong, huawei has even longer updates than Samsung

    $650 is NOT a midrange price. This is the 1st video I have seen of yours and it is the last one I will view of yours.

      Why are you angry? 650 is still in the midrange bracket, I would consider midrange around 400-700max

      @@eliasavelino6729 Not angry at all. Just disappointed. Your interpretation of "mid-range" and mine are not in agreement so I choose to watch reviews from other youtubers instead.

      Maybe depends on country. This isn't 650$ in my country. It's $400+.
