I genuinely would love to watch a studio video with David walking around with is 4 cameras taking photos, and Marquess with a phone taking the same photos, and then a comparison with the results.
Yes, please!
mmm yeah I'd love to see that

Basically he has a lot of braincells so he doesn't struggle with multitasking..
D riding is insane
@@AdityaSingh-gb2lkfor real. How easy is it
glazin
He has a lot of RAM
It's from experience and overall time spent reviewing these devices, not intellect.
Andrew’s righteous indignation at the concept of inefficiency is my spirit animal
1:40 "75% of what I do is on Android Phones". Ok, so Android for everything, iPhone for blue bubbles.
And iphone for social media (he's an influencer after all) since android app developers can't get their crap together and fix social media photo compression and cameras without doing some dumb partnership (which is stupid considering they're gonna use the same chips as everyone else anyways). That and I can see some productivity things being better on iphone as Google is basically schizophrenic when it comes to their services and some things just feeling better on iphone (I use both as well)
@@mittromney6052 not entirely the developers fault, it’s way easier to develop for 3 iOS devices than the hundreds of android devices releasing every year.
@@Augnos it's only easy for them when companies pay them :/ these are phone companies paying billion dollar social media companies mind you. I don't buy it. They just don't care enough to find a solution.
@@mittromney6052 having worked for a large company that makes a large app on both Android and iPhone, we spent more on iPhone because iPhone users made us more money. That's it. iPhone users are either wealthier or more willing to buy stuff.
@@mittromney6052 social media compression is legitimately just an issue with the social media companies not caring enough coupled with the smartphone companies not caring enough.
Samsung cared enough, Google cared enough. That's why they partnered with Snapchat.
Instagram is just them being assholes.
You know it costs nothing to just upload uncompressed images for Android... There are literal mods that do that by just the flip of a switch.
Instagram does it on purpose because they don't wanna take those extra steps.
Please do a video on David’s cameras? Perhaps compare it to just using a phone. I’m interested to understand what it looks like to carry and use all that gear on travels.
Yeah it could be a nice vid. If I remember, he posted a video in his UA-cam channel
Yes!!
As a Nigerian I find the two phones question so funny. You almost need two phones or at least two sims by default because carrier networks fail so often. Personally I use my iPhone for general personal stuff, iMessage, FaceTime, videos, entertainment etc. I use my android phone for all work related things so I can turn it off for work life balance lol. So android for my work WhatsApp, email, business calls, navigation as well because my iPhone connects to my car speakers and I HATE the google map voice interrupting my music. Also because my android has space for two physical sims, I house my UK sim in it incase I need to verify things while I’m in Nigeria. Very very convenient set up.
As an Indian, the opposite of your use cases but basically the same logic. Also iphone 13 mini is very light and compact. So, it often becomes my outdoor phone.
You can mute Google Maps to only talk when alerts are incoming or mute it entirely
this is our reality in nigeria ehn
I was looking for this comment
Even in Zimbabwe most people have two phones
I have two phones and phone numbers, one for work and one for family. It has been one of the best decision i have made.
Same for me. I daily use iOS and Android with 2 phones, 2 sim, but same apps. I don't use any Apple apps: too difficult to switch. People just have to use apps which work on both platform: easy.😏
Same. That way I know it's important when the main number rings and it's usually not important if the work phone rings. More accurately it might have been important to whoever was trying to call me, but it's not important to me.
@@cizd That is exactly how I use my phones. Normally i keep my work phone in the room during off days or weekends. When at work I dedicate 100% of my time to work, at home I have to dedicate 100% of the time to the family and be present.
Same. I leave the work phone on my desk when it's family time or I'm going on holiday, but some key people at work have my personal number in case of emergency. Plus, my work phone forwards calls to my personal phone if I don't pick up after 20 seconds, so if someone is really persistent, they might get through. Cold callers usually aren't.
@@TheMaddestNomad how do you set that up? Or what app do you use for that 20 seconds transferred call that you mentioned
As a member of the phone dailying community, I daily use one pixel 7 pro and have no regrets.
I weekly an iPhone but I’m hoping to one day daily it
ahahaha lol
LESSGO I AM THE 69TH LIKE. Wait a mi- 😳
Most people are a part of the "phone dailying community"
@@junoperberry as a member of the phone dailying community, I suggest you being a part of the phone weeklying community to kindly leave the comment section of the phone dailying community :)
Kudos to the entire team for not saying "that's what she said" like 10 times while David was talking about his cameras 😅
probably because they aren’t 12 😂
LoloL😊
As someone who double dailyed for a few years you have to do what marques said. Designate tasks for each one and know the feeling in your pocket/pockets to enter a routine. For a while I was using a pixel 6 for pretty much anything and the razer phone 2 for gaming so I could save the (at the time) subpar battery life of the pixel for almost everything else
I've been a dual user since last June, my brother passed me his iPhone 13 and I already had an S22 ultra so I just added an extra line for like $25 and now use both. I mainly use the Samsung 80% of the time and use the iPhone for very niche things
I love smartphone technology, but it is so important to not get so connected to these devices and other technologies, that it becomes a problem. I’d definitely draw the line at smart fridges.
I just started carrying around 2 phones one day and got used to it very quickly. It's made it very easy to compartmentalise my digital life. One is a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and the other is a standard iPhone 13. I use the iPhone mostly for chatting with family and for certain apps that are either exclusive to iPhone, or where I prefer the iPhone version of the app, and I use the Galaxy Note 10 which I've had for longer, for communicating with co-workers, and it's generally my "main" phone that I set alarms on and do most daily tasks on. I know you can do all of that with just one phone/one number, but I actually like having two active phone numbers on different carriers on different phones, and being able to switch off one of them to avoid work stuff when I'm not on the clock without being cut off from my other phone, which I'll use for chatting with family/friends. I don't think I can go back to just using one phone.
Rip
So... You can fit one in each pocket or do you find yourself carrying them around by hand a lot?
@@laurenslee9134 I'll usually have one in each pocket 😅If I'm wearing a jacket or something I'll have one in my jacket pocket and one in my pants pocket. I've never found myself carrying both phones by hand haha
You’re deadass paying for 2 phone plans for no reason
@@GurtonBuster07 What's it to you? Mobile plans in my country are very cheap and it doesn't even make a dent in my paycheck.
I've been dailying two phones for the last 15 years. Nokia / Blackberry, followed by Blackberry / Palm Pre, then iphone / android and now I'm getting old I daily two iphones.
I love your content,I love listening to you guys ,so informative ,I hope you guys never stop doing everything that you do ,i mean it!
I used three phones for 5 years (not by choice). I’m finally down to 2 phones and it feels incredible.
Props to you
Day job, personal and self employed phones?
@@dustojnikhummer - weed, cocaine, wife, gf, etc..
i use three daily.
12 mini - main personal
XS - personal backup/work + i love 3D touch
8 - pure work phone
Same. I had 3 phones for 3-4 years. 2 phones are easy.
MKBHD nailed it here. As one who daily drives two phones at once, I agree totally. Some things you just want to do on one, and others on the other. Typically I run a normal android phone like the s23 ultra or pixel 7 pro + a special one like a folding phone or gaming phone.
The special folding or gaming phone could be replaced by a different device that’s better at it. Like why have a 2nd phone if it’s just for gaming? You might as well carry a steam deck.
How rich are you?
@@toptiertech7291 Hahah good point for most ppl but nah I'ma phone gamer. If I do PC games, I have a gaming PC. I was a competitive mobile gamer for years but a bit more casual now, I can't bring myself to use any other phone for gaming than the rog phone 6, by far the most responsive feeling of any other phone in existence, I literally win more games using it lol
@@efzel lmao 😭
05:57 I realized at the same time as Andrew that they were talking about shit that they take that they don't use. I literally said "why the fuck would I take shit I'm not gonna use?" In my head.
“ Get your shit together” pretty much sums it up
One of the best podcasts 💯🙏❤️
Here in our country, it is very common to see people carrying two phones, different carriers. I personally use two phones (just like Marques' setup, an iPhone and an Android, a Pixel to be exact) my iPhone has my work contacts and my Pixel has my personal contacts. Basically if the number made it to my Pixel, they're in the inner circle.
"Simple. I have two hands. My pants have 2 pockets. My outlets have 2 plug spots. My face has 2 eyes. My need is 2 phones."
Having a personal phone and a separate work phone is amazing. If I ever have to shut down from my work life I just put it away in my bag and go about my life until I have to go back into work mode.
You can do that with just one phone
The Andrew portion was priceless!!!
I relate so much to the notion of carrying a lot of cameras but rarely using them lol but yeah film is not digital and digital is not the smartphone so I gotta have them all with me at all times otherwise I’m stressed that I’ll pass on a great shot. Oh well 😅
Talking about the fridges and stuff. Like, at the grocery stores they use glass on fridges, so...if someone wants to know what they have on the fridge just use it. The problem is not having space on the glass, but I believe that a shelf or two is doable.
I use Google Fi as my carrier and they have made being a dual phone user pretty easy. I use an eSIM on the iPhone and a data only SIM on my secondary Android device. Currently running an iPhone 12 Pro on eSIM and a Z Fold4 on the data-only SIM
5:57 😂😂😂😂 I’m dead
"can't comprehend inefficiency" 😂😂😂
6x7 120 medium format film is 8 dollars a roll (on the low end) for around 10 photos.
It makes sense to carry a digital camera when traveling
Specifically regarding the cameras I feel this. I limit myself to two cameras at the most. I choose one film and usually one digital camera. I might throw in a film point and shoot to bring it to 3 cameras at the max
I Like the way you Present the Product & Yours Review about the Product Is Great and Very Useful to Purchase the Produts Editing Is Fab and is Like Learner the way u edit the video.
David Imel, we need a practical explaination of how you do use 4 cameras! Love to learn!!
The sony xperia 1 iv is my primary phone and the z fold 4 is my secondary phone but I mainly use my z fold 4 as a tablet. I used to put 2 phones in the same pocket and a nexus 7 in my second pocket tablet because I wanted to carry a tablet with me and use my phones as the mobile hotspot for the nexus 7. The z fold 4 is my substitute for a tablet since I use it when it's unfolded for faster texting and watching videos. I barely use it unfolded when watching youtube videos and I always select zoom to fill the screen to get rid of the black bars and crop the videos since the black bars on the top and bottom bother me since thats what I was always looking at when there are videos since the black bars distracting. When something is obtrusive like black bars and a notch exist, it's what I look at the whole time since I'm distracted by it. I'm used to watching media and playing games when there is nothing obtrusive on the screen. For my z fold 4, I use a usb c to usb c cable to plug into my fiio q3 dac amp than into my z fold 4 when using my wired headphones since I used wired headphones all the time. For example the zte red magic 8 pro phone would be a perfect fit for me since it has the features and specs that I want from a phone plus it's all screen with no notch or hole punch camera cutout with an under the display camera that is barely noticeable. I still have my vivo nex s with the pop up camera and I barely used the front facing camera or any smartphone and the speakers are under the display when talking on the phone with the vivo nex s. I would actually buy a phone without a front facing camera include a headphone jack, a charger in the box and have a 100% screen to body ratio. I would just attach a camera by plugging it in with a usb c adapter since there are already accessories for smartphone camera attachments like external lenses or maybe an external display with a usb c attachment as a substitute for the front facing camera.
It's more about - how do you sync your data?
Your notes - do you use external app, or you stick to standard notes app on both phones?
Your password - how do you sync those?
Contacts? Photos? etc.
I’ve been wondering how he did this FOREVER. This was eye opening.
I like how marques is sharing the floor/ for speaking
Andrew ate them up with that efficiency bit 😭😭
I would like to see a complete video on ot lia a day in life. What task you do on a daily and what phone you use for that. I think it would be interesting.
I also use two phones, one for work and one for personal. Don’t know how I could ever go back. Plus keeps any IP from work projects completely separate vs personal work/consulting.
On the useless tech question - smart washing machines definitely fall into this category. Some were being promoted with the benefit of ‘start the washing cycle’ remotely - ignoring the fact you still need to go to the machine to load the laundry and any detergents. The only use case where that is of any use is if you’ve left the house and forgotten to put it on. And a lot of people I know wouldn’t put a washer on whilst not in the house anyway.
Same here, S23U for play and power apps including streaming apps & Iphone14pro(work apps, personal banking apps and video recording boring imessage)
There is something called electrochromic glass/windows. Their transparency can be changed depending on the voltage you run through them, so he could be taking about those
Marques at 4:50, best candid smile ever
I get that if you like Tech and Hobbies I can understand.Also if you have many family members who use different types of devices and Cameras 📸 definitely get why you might want or have more than one.✌️
From high school, I've had 2 phones with different numbers from different carriers. At one point, I had 3 phones (2 from the same carrier, but one is postpaid and the other prepaid), but I lost the (prepaid). In a country like Jamaica, where there are currently only 2 networks, there are areas where one doesn't work and the other picks up.
I'm always an Android junkie and my current daily driver for the last 6yrs has been an Honor 5X. I'd normally have 2 sims in it and for my 2nd number, the whatsapp (which I use for personal business) is on an even older LG L70. But last September, I bought my 1st iPhone (a 7) to retire the L70 and I started using it more than I expected. The 2nd sim has been in it and it is what I use for music and multiple apps that aren't compatible with the 5X. Also, anything to do with work, people have that number, especially those with iPhones. Sometimes I use 2 different data plans. But with my postpaid data update for the Droid, I use hotspot for the iPhone.
After 6yrs of usage, 1 battery change and a ton of misery, I am changing my daily Droid this coming week to a Google Pixel 3a. Lets see how that works.
I understand Marques’s pain when it comes to using two phones with two different numbers. I personally use an iPhone 14PM and a Galaxy S22U and I find myself using my iPhone for especially for music and apps since apps look alot better and are more optimized on iPhones than on Android but I use my S22U more for productivity uses like signing documents with my S-pen and watching UA-cam content because for the bigger display without a big hole punch on top like the dynamic island design. I’m glad I am not the only one who rocks two phones even though it can be tough for me sometimes. 😊
I currently have a iPhone and Samsung on order, do you have them joined together, or are they separate ?
I carry an S21+, and a 12 mini everyday. I got them both used.
I use my iPhone mainly just for music, and a couple of other things. Android mainly for everything, as my Sim is in that
I daily 2 phones with 1 SIM because I'm switching from iPhone to Pixel and as an ex-die-hard-Apple-fan, quitting iPhone cold turkey is not possible. I have my SIM in the Pixel and I mostly only use my iPhone to keep up with the iMessage groups that I'm in, and manage passwords that are in my iCloud Keychain. I usually keep them in opposite pockets but occasionally they are glass-to-glass in one.
I'm an iPhone 12 pro user and I just bought a Galaxy note 20 during the holidays to mess around with, I just love having both to get the different phone experiences for different things. I pretty much find myself doing content consumption on the Android and social stuff on the iPhone, makes sense!
Same here
11:10 Ellis looks like he just woke up from a loooooooooong deeeeep sleeeeep haha
Good Outro!!
Our LG fridge has a clear door. When you knock on it the light inside turns on, but no cameras, screens, etc. Which is great to avoid expensive repairs down the road.
5:54 bro was so mad he was confuzzled 😭😭😹
"it's unfortunate that it's the biggest one"
killed me for some reason
Marques built a special monarchy, not a team we cant call it that way... its way better and much more than a team... Kudos guyz
I've been carrying 2 phones since, 2016ish. Iphone and Galaxy Fold at one point. Currently iphone and S22. I like having access to both ecosystems and it's way easier than constantly switching.
I've been doing it for years. One for cellular service text/talk and the other for internet.
That fridge is the "LG Knock" We just looked at it and decided to get the one without the window...but still makes craft ice :)
well, i'd love to see you review that fridge!
Iphone 8 and P30 user.
A lot of writing and reading on the iphone (love the size) and a lot of video and music on the P30
NGL. their podcast quality is way too OP. Its actually better than many youtubers’ main content. Kudo mkbhd
The Outros are the reason I watch these clips to the end
Every time I've travelled with multiple cameras on a trip, I've hated it. Unless I have a specific photo shoot planned ahead of time, more lenses is always more useful and comfortable than multiple cameras. Multiple phones also seems annoying and I feel bad for people who have to do that because of work.
I don't think that person was asking how to know what to do on which phone? Lmao. The hard part about carrying two phones is the actual logistics of carrying two phones around with you.
Like where do you put them? One in each front pocket? Back pocket(s)? Do you carry a bag? Is it harder to keep track of two phones without losing one? Etc. Etc.
I carried two for about 4 years and it drove me insane.
I keep my Surface Duo 2 on a hip holster and my S23 Ultra in my pocket. Duo 2 is my primary phone that I also use for work stuff. The S23 Ultra is for taking pictures and for meme storage.
@@WaffleusRex "for meme storage"
I'm old AF.
Yeah I think pocket and holster is a good way to do it. I started carrying a murse and kept both phones in it.
Where do you put them? That is entirely up to you. I keep mine in my back right. My friend keeps his in his front left because he’s left handed. Most people have 4 pockets. You should not need to carry 2 phones if you really need it. Wanting to carry 2 phones just to have 2 phones will always be uncomfortable
Looks like they don't know dual SIM phones
use bag bro
I have had two phones for over 10 years - one for work and one personal. I use to use one phone for both but I was getting calls from work when i was not on call all hours day and night and did not care at all for any of that. Now when I am off and not on call I keep the work phone on silence and may or may not check, but not compelled to answer.
You can disable the second sim when you get out of work
A smart Fridge idea can be: It tells on a voice command what it has to eat at a specific time or a specific thing by cheking what is inside
😉
I would really like to see more of these guys on your main channel. Not just podcasts.
They have a studio channel too. His main channel isn’t really about personality. It’s about products
@@toptiertech7291 You mean ike tech review products?
"Being able to look into the fridge while at the grocery store to see what you need to buy"
I would say, make a grocery list before leaving lol.
And lets say you can see what's missing in the fridge while you're in the store. What about the things missing in the cupboard or pantry? Do you then go home to check and come back to the store?
Smart fridges, not useful yet. Maybe 10 more years it will be able to do some weird item target temperature things which keeps each item at it's own desired temperature despite being stored the same place. That would be smart.
What you just did was make up an example in which it is not useful. I can do that for any item. But I can also give you examples of uses. You’re at work. You wanted to make a pasta dish. You aren’t sure if you have heavy whipping cream. What do you do? Go all the way home to check then go to the store? Or just check the app and find out?
I daily drive an s22 and an iPod touch 7. I use my Samsung for mostly everything but for times that I need to focus or not look at my phone as much I use the iPod. I also use the ipod for iMessage and Music / Audibooks
I used a 2-sim phone for a number of years before I switched to 2 phones and now as Marquees say, it's natural and I can't imagine using a single one... Compartmentalizing comes naturally, you almost don't have to think about it
My favorite part of this was hearing the apps MKB uses. That would make an interesting video! Carrot? Never heard of it!
It's a weather app. He showed it in a previous show some weeks back
Stick w/ the weather network. More accurate
I've been using the samsung fold in one pocket and the smaller 14 pro in the other it's great
Use the Flip 5 as daily phone to carry because of the size. I use the Note 10+ for content consumption and gaming.
Okay, so i know for sure that the fridge where you knock on the door and it becomes transparent/translucent is a Samsung fridge. I know that because i was looking to buy one of those years ago but i decided to go with an LG fridge in the end.
I do think that smart fridges could have its uses. But for it to become widely accessible i also think that the app (to check whats inside of your fridge for when you go out to make groceries) should also be widely available on any smartphone and not just on Samsung/Samsung Smart things...
As my father says, the real struggle is trying to carry & use three phones. LOL
Thoughts on Boost Infinite?? Could you make a quick video on that??
I love this episode.
I carry 3 SIM cards. 2 prepaid on 2 different networks because the way my country works, there are spots where data works better on one telco but not the other. I have non-expiring prepaid data on both so there's no unnecessary spending. The prepaid SIM cards are for personal use on android. I carry an iPhone for work. So personal stuff on one phone, work on the other. EXCEPT navigation, which goes on the iPhone so I have a free screen to run other apps on the other phone. Waze on the iPhone with turn by turn audio directions on, and UA-cam or Spotify on android to just play in the background while I drive. So I never have to interrupt my navigation (lots of turns in my area due to trying to get around traffic so it's great to have a dedicated screen so I don't miss a turn).
usually its one big phone and one small phone, but you take the cake
Hey David, how's chrome os in a media setting? I see you using the Chromebook edition of that framework
I daily two phones. Two numbers. One for play/media/family other for work, email and taking orders. Best thing ever. Fold 4 for media, pixel 6 for the business.
iPhone 13 Pro and pixel fold (previously pixel 7) iPhone is chatting with family, and work since I have teams on it (basically personal and professional communication. Pixel fold (or whatever Android phone) I do NOT have any of my work communication , emails on it. It’s firmly my phone I use when I want to not be bothered and I can do more media consumption.
I use two phones daily. One personal and one work phone. Both have a little bit of overlap as well. It has entrenched in my life. Now I can't go back to having only one phone.
The translucent idea for windows is already in use in local trains where I live. The drivers cabin has a glass wall between the cabin and the rest of the train that can be switched on and off. Why I have no idea 🤷
I always daily two phones, reason being is I like to be able to take a call on one and if I have to look up or take down some information during a phone call it’s just easier with two phones, I use a 15 pro max and a 15 pro
QuestionI I have for someone who doesn't use a case, how do you mount your phone in your car?
Thank you for calling out how awesome Relay is on android. I went iPhone for a while and NOTHING could replace it for accessing reddit.
Been using 2 phones everyday for years now. I change phones from time to time, but currently, I'm using an S21+ (my spare) and the other an S22 Note Ultra (my main).
When I'm driving, I use my spare on the dash with Google Maps running, while my Note is on a magnetic cradle plugged into the lighter (I use this one for music / video while in the car).
When I'm at home, since I don't have a phone line, cable, broadband or anything of the sort, I use my data from my phones via mobile tethering.
Both my phones have separate plans but share the same account. My S21+ is on the cheapest data-only plan, while my Note is on a data call plan.
I've become so reliant on 2 phones, that it would take some time to get used to using only one XD
Pleasantly surprised MKHB uses his Android phone 75% of the time.
"Is that three phones?"
"No it's an experience" 😂😂😂😂
Just an FYI for people outside of indian Sub continent, WE INDIANS DO HAVE 2 PHONE NUMBERS, BY 2 DIFFERENT SERVICE PROVIDERS. ITS VERY COMMON HERE.
I was watching an expression when you said "You have like 2 numbers" for you'll its odd or rare, for us its normal 😁
Yeah, kisi bhi dusre bande ke phone se call karta hu to har baar poochna padta hai, jio se karu ya Airtel se ? 😂
I daily two phone also, almost exactly like Marques. 75% on my Android (LG Wing) and 25% on my iPhone (12 Pro Max). I use Google Voice as my primary voice and text number so I can receive and send texts from both phones so that comes in real handy.
I'm in the process of converting my old phone into a secondary device which I can then use to screen calls. I'm also wanting to use it to test different mobile operating systems like Lineage, /e/, and the new Linux OSs that are in development!
Please make a video on what's in my tech bag
As a father with a family, I can't tell you enough times that I've been grocery shopping and forget to check if we have xy&z and no one will be home to check the fridge. Sounds like a god send.
... if it was just me starving, I wouldn't care as much tbh
Right now I cary up to a Samsungg ultra, Funkey microhandhalde and an Acttivo DAP... Althhough most days I just carry the ultra as I've been just streaming music/video more then using my libary... But when I want to game or have my music I add them... Honestly the hardest part is having big/enough pockets.
Oh man, I go out of my way to not carry stuff. Unless it can be justified it doesn't go in my bag. If something was in my bag but I haven't used it in a while it goes out of the bag. This is how I can fly just about anywhere for a week with only a backpack and maybe a small camera bag if I have camera gear. And even then I can usually single-bag it.
I use 6 phones per week.
Android: Razr 5G, Flip 3, & Pixel 3.
iOS: iPhone SE3, X, & 7.

Marques uses 2 phones, I wear 2 smart watches
I swear David sounds like Nate from The office 😂 4:58 specifically
