Borrowed mostly from MKBHD and The Verge. from the graphics down to the type of music playing in the background and the cinematography. Very modern. I remember when nearly all reviews out were just top-down shots of someone's hands, the device and a table. Lol.
+Alexander Ruiz Im not getting from this vid that its a solid phone. Im getting that it runs slow, lags and is a bit frustrating to use. Makes you want a One plus 2 instead. Or do you have one and experience the total opposite?
Raphael Mastromonaco Yeah, for sure! I just didn't experience the same issues some have reported with respect to lag, but more on that in my review. Your value is greatly appreciated, so leave a comment! :)
+Raphael Mastromonaco if you go for a OP2, you miss the entire points of a nexus. Sure, go ahead but dont whine in a forum when (if) you get updates 6 months later.
'jon4lakers', damn son, been a while since I've seen videos as I have all the tech i want... but these reviews are insanely good. Everything about them. Amazing job at starting this business and taking a lot of people on.
I can just feel the positive energy coming off this guy, I love it.I might just consider getting the 5x if I can't get the 6p.I want to see more review videos from this guy. :P
Gosh I love this Mark so much better than the other Mark, cuz this Mark is so happy and perky and bubbly. The other Mark makes me want to double dose my Prozac medication.
+Commander Erik I think this Mark is annoyingly bubbly, almost corny, and he is overacting and overemphasizing nearly every fucking word. The other Mark was nice and calm and didn't try to be all cute. I think most people don't like the other Mark because he is overweight.
airgear87 I don't know, but for me I really love the bubbly videos, it feel so sunny and happy. The other Mark made the videos too serious, and a bit like news channel on TV stations, so yea, i really like the casual feeling of this Mark.
+airgear87 indeed man, most people here are just hard at the other Mark. either it's because he's a chubby guy or because he's asian. most people like OP here are just bullies and racist c*nts.
it doesn't matter if he's here or not but the fact is that you and other people are bringing in a lot of negative things to say about him. Can't you just praise this Mark without downplaying the other? think about that for a sec... sheesh...
Mark is the perfect match for Jon and technobuffalo. His personality and balanced biases is what tech reviewers should be. Fair individuals. Keep up the awesome work!
I've always been a subscriber here, and I've always thought the reviews were meh, but I stayed around just for the various personalities that I enjoyed. Over the last month or so these reviews and videos have become insanely good -- they are shot well, the info and insights are on point, and they're just fun to watch. Well done guys, I truly appreciate the improvements, and am looking forward to future content.
with the addition of this guy, the video quality of these phone reviews have improved 10 fold. I now look forward to watching reviews. good work technobuffalo. keep up the good work!
Really like the new video editing and shooting style! A breadth of fresh air from all the samey polished video pans of the reviewed devices from other channels.
Man Mark is definitely bringing so much life to TB! He is putting so much more effort to the videos and making them, i would say unique and something different but definitely better! Well done! Loved the video!
THIS! is a proper review. Most reviews are so linear these days and don't give an insight into the user experience of the device. Very very good. P.S: You were out of focus for the first two parts of video, i thought. :P
who is this guy and why have I never seen him on TechnoBuffalo's channel before. This guy deserves more spotlight. best reviewer I've seen in quite some time
Notice the same performance issued. I found if you just restart the device every couple of days, you can avoid them. An annoyance but something not unexpected on a "Nexus" phone.
Really feeling compelled to switch to android by your reviews guys. Really liking the new way the last few videos have been made. Mark does a great job he's a great addition to the company. Keep up the good work.
I've really enjoyed the 5X for the 2 weeks I've had it. In general. I've seen a few pretty major problems with it so far: 1: Camera software is buggy as hell. Really buggy. From lockups when recording 4K video, to complete crashes when rotating the handset from portrait to landscape. 2: When rapid charging, performance slows to a crawl and the touchscreen becomes completely unresponsive. 3: After a few days use, overall performance slows to a crawl (though admittedly when multitasking, viewing large websites and updating large apps in the background, for instance). This often necessitates a complete reboot to fix the issue. I really hope these issues are software related and can be fixed with an update later.
I also have the Nexus 5X and I do think believe Google has optimised it properly. I also found an inconsistent performance more better than worst. I would have brought the Nexus 6P if it wasn't so dam big.
Great review man. The only thing that is bothering me is the encryption. You should never hear the words Nexus and performance issues in the same sentence. Hopefully the modding community will find a way to fix this.
+Gage Blasi So, we actually consciously switch from VO to onboard audio. It creates a subconscious hook. We're trying to use the fact that you noticed that it changed to bring attention to certain points. I do need to get a bit more natural with my VO, though.
Great review. Your style is pretty different but you're fast getting up there alongside Michael Fisher as one of my favourite tech reviewers. Still not sure I'm sold on the 5X mind!
+Mark Burstiner No worries man. And it's Michael Fisher of Pocketnow, a man whose tech reviews are extraordinarily compelling. Definitely worth watching one or two of them, or more! And you'd be hard pressed to confuse him with Laurence Fishburne haha
If I didn't have a 6S Plus I'd op for this. I don't like android because of poor optimization, but Nexus branded products usually are the best that Google has to offer. I don't hate Android, I just don't have any apps purchased in the ecosystem. Good review.
I'd rather go for Moto X Pure because of the Quad HD display and additional gig of RAM to help with performance. You get more out of it. Excellent video by the way.
Great review. Check put the lag on the 5x when charging and trying to use certain apps. I tried charging it and posting a tweet on the twitter app at the same time and stutter and lag was awful! Your thoughts?
Man, it seems like every one of your reviews just keep getting better and better! Keep us the good work, I like the new style!
+Marcus Yarema Thank you Marcus. We are really trying.
you are gem to technobuffalo the way you make ur videos is fun and informative at same time.. best wishes
+Adi Khan true
TechnoBuffalo is on fire. Excellent work Mark. I love you guys.
+Snazzy Labs Thanks for the love Quinn!
really loving the new style of videos
+Joey Chrollo I could go without some of the weird filler shots (pool table shot) and the ridiculous bike cam!
+Jack Harington same here!
+Jack Harington I could go without your shitty input!
+Jack Harington totally agree!
Borrowed mostly from MKBHD and The Verge. from the graphics down to the type of music playing in the background and the cinematography. Very modern. I remember when nearly all reviews out were just top-down shots of someone's hands, the device and a table. Lol.
Not only is the 5X a solid buy, the video was solid, too! Absolutely awesome style, Mark!
+Alexander Ruiz Im not getting from this vid that its a solid phone. Im getting that it runs slow, lags and is a bit frustrating to use. Makes you want a One plus 2 instead. Or do you have one and experience the total opposite?
Raphael Mastromonaco I actually do have one and have published a review. You can check it out if you'd like. :)
+Alexander Ruiz awesome dude, I'll check it out now
Raphael Mastromonaco Yeah, for sure! I just didn't experience the same issues some have reported with respect to lag, but more on that in my review. Your value is greatly appreciated, so leave a comment! :)

Is that a house tour or a phone tour? **Drake voice**
This sir made me laugh
+Mathieu Riesling This fucking guy LOL im dyin yo lol

ayame23i Hey, if i was a bully i would have leave this comment when that Asian Mark hasn't quit the job yet.
it doesn't matter if he's here or not but the fact is that you and other people are bringing in a lot of negative things to say about him. Can't you just praise this Mark without downplaying the other? think about that for a sec... sheesh...
FIRST! So there.
+TechnoBuffalo DUDE! The phone's amazing, but... The REVIEW IS BONKERS GOOD! Kudos, love what you guys been up to lately!
+TechnoBuffalo ahhh gpu junk is frame drops??
+Matjaž Koren Thank you! We are glad you liked it.
+TechnoBuffalo hi Jon!
+Colin Reid Hi Colin!
I like this Mark guy, he reminds me of Cisco from the flash for some reason
Mark is the perfect match for Jon and technobuffalo. His personality and balanced biases is what tech reviewers should be. Fair individuals. Keep up the awesome work!
Mark is like most people are when they're on a phone call. Just doin' random shit and talking. Awesome review and a very fun format to watch!
I've always been a subscriber here, and I've always thought the reviews were meh, but I stayed around just for the various personalities that I enjoyed. Over the last month or so these reviews and videos have become insanely good -- they are shot well, the info and insights are on point, and they're just fun to watch.

honestly one of the best TB videos yall have made. You've come a long way, good job :)
Great review and nice video. Love the editing and pacing of presentation in this review.
Really like the new video editing and shooting style! A breadth of fresh air from all the samey polished video pans of the reviewed devices from other channels.
Great Review! Really like Mark
Damn i love their style of filming. Feels so fresh and relaxing.
Amazing job with your recent changes!
+Nic_Nak_Nic Nicholas Thank you!
+Nic_Nak_Nic Nicholas Dude thanks man
love this new style of videos and relaxed approach. its working and looking good on the buffalo. keep it up guys. long time fan here
Love the verge style editing. Keep it up.
Really like his reviews. Don't worry Jon you'll always be the goat!
I'm loving the amped personality, bro. It's a welcome change.
Wow! This is the best phone reviews I've seen, so crispy, so entertaining. Great job!
6P in the 5X body would be stupendous!
Man Mark is definitely bringing so much life to TB! He is putting so much more effort to the videos and making them, i would say unique and something different but definitely better! Well done! Loved the video!
This is the first review I've seen of yours and it was absolutely great!
Very creative style of review! Keep 'em up!
This is new video format is freaking awesome.
Beautifully shot review!
New ways of reviewing is always welcome
This dude should be doing ALL the reviews. Just my humble opinion...
THIS! is a proper review. Most reviews are so linear these days and don't give an insight into the user experience of the device. Very very good.
P.S: You were out of focus for the first two parts of video, i thought. :P
I'm going to echo the previous comments, the new style of your videos are on point. Awesome job.
MUCH. MUCH BETTER REVIEW!! Really loving the new style and the quality is also much better! Nice work
"I find myself wishing I had a 6p in the body of a 5x"
Don't we all?
Excellent review. Honest, and well put together! Loving your style, Mark!
I love the review style on this video!! Great job!
Really like Marc doing reviews and shows, just as informative as anyone out there but it's obvious he's actually enjoying what he's talking about!
This new guy is really good at reviewing way better than anyone technobuffalo ever haired, keep him John don't let him go
nice new review format!
Great video man, you are getting better and better. Kudos
damn. tech bufallo video is so damn good now. really joy to watch!
who is this guy and why have I never seen him on TechnoBuffalo's channel before. This guy deserves more spotlight. best reviewer I've seen in quite some time
You took phone review to a whole new level. Enjoyed it a lot.
Fantastic review! My attention span has started to dwindle but I managed to sit through this whole review which to me is very impressive!
I like it! "It" being both the phone and this style of review. KUTGW!
Yes! I really enjoyed this review and this new dude. Way to go, man! thanks for the review!
so agree about wanting a 6P in the size of 5X
Notice the same performance issued. I found if you just restart the device every couple of days, you can avoid them. An annoyance but something not unexpected on a "Nexus" phone.
Really feeling compelled to switch to android by your reviews guys. Really liking the new way the last few videos have been made. Mark does a great job he's a great addition to the company. Keep up the good work.
Very nice review! Enjoyed the new style!
Great review and i'm really liking the new style of videos. Nice!
Really enjoyed the video! so refreshing, compared to a traditional review! Loving it!
awesome video Mark, this is by far the best review of the phone i've ever seen :D
I've really enjoyed the 5X for the 2 weeks I've had it. In general.
I've seen a few pretty major problems with it so far:
1: Camera software is buggy as hell. Really buggy. From lockups when recording 4K video, to complete crashes when rotating the handset from portrait to landscape.
2: When rapid charging, performance slows to a crawl and the touchscreen becomes completely unresponsive.
3: After a few days use, overall performance slows to a crawl (though admittedly when multitasking, viewing large websites and updating large apps in the background, for instance). This often necessitates a complete reboot to fix the issue.
I really hope these issues are software related and can be fixed with an update later.
Yeah a review site said the same thing about the slow performance. Really wished they included an additional gig of RAM to help with that.
This new guy (if he is new) is a badass. His reviews are 100/10 would watch again.
I really enjoyed this review. I hope to see this guy more.
6P in the body of a 5X. Literally stole the words right out of my mouth!
Fantastic review man! Beautiful and interesting
You can tell somebody loves their job! Nice vid!
This guy used the whole studio to shoot the video. Review turns out to be great.
Daammnn! That's one solid review. Best Review Ever. You guys got something special here. Don't lose it Techno Buffalo.
I think you're one of the best reviewers out there, keep it up man
I also have the Nexus 5X and I do think believe Google has optimised it properly. I also found an inconsistent performance more better than worst. I would have brought the Nexus 6P if it wasn't so dam big.
wow .. awesome review .... keep the good work going..
Great and Unique review from TechnoBuffalo. Loved it :)
Great review man. The only thing that is bothering me is the encryption. You should never hear the words Nexus and performance issues in the same sentence. Hopefully the modding community will find a way to fix this.
this guy's a good reviewer. great energy and a lot of charisma
awesome review!! Unique style and very informative :)
i like this new style of review! keep it up!
Great review and great reviewer. I honestly think this is one of the best reviews TechnoBuffalo has ever done. The quality was superb.
Great review, loved the style. Constructive criticism is use the same mic the entire review to keep consistency.
+Gage Blasi So, we actually consciously switch from VO to onboard audio. It creates a subconscious hook. We're trying to use the fact that you noticed that it changed to bring attention to certain points. I do need to get a bit more natural with my VO, though.
+Mark Burstiner now that I think about it, it did make it sound unique. Props for trying something new!
Don't let this dude go, Jon. I like his style.
I didnt use to like this guy, but now, i really like him
+Ashu Gupta SAME.
+Mark Burstiner lol
Saaaame
Are you guys going to be reviewing the oneplusX anytime soon?
+Dale Cheetham We will as soon as we get it in. Did you see our hands on?
+TechnoBuffalo I did indeed. Would have thought you guys and other tech channels would have been given one at the press event!
+TechnoBuffalo hope your htc one a9 review is in the works already
+Dale Cheetham Nope, not this time. It's on the way though.
+TechnoBuffalo please make a comparison between these two.I would love to see the video.
Love the review yall are doing an amazing job
Getting one in a week with the fathers day special going on at B&H right now! Only 269$ for the 32GB variant! :D
this guy is a fantastic reviewer. don't lose him
that marshmallow part tho lol
Great review. Your style is pretty different but you're fast getting up there alongside Michael Fisher as one of my favourite tech reviewers.
Still not sure I'm sold on the 5X mind!
+ednewmy I don't know who Michael Fisher is but thank you! I know who Laurence Fishburne is, though!
+Mark Burstiner No worries man. And it's Michael Fisher of Pocketnow, a man whose tech reviews are extraordinarily compelling. Definitely worth watching one or two of them, or more!
And you'd be hard pressed to confuse him with Laurence Fishburne haha
Enjoyable presentation...keep them coming!
He didn't have to actually eat a marshmallow to tell us about marshmallow !
Lovely Review! Love this guy man
did this guy really just pull marshmallows out of the fridge
love the format
Hi Jon! Saw your Twitter post!
+Zach Ary Hi Zach!
That was fast!
If I didn't have a 6S Plus I'd op for this. I don't like android because of poor optimization, but Nexus branded products usually are the best that Google has to offer. I don't hate Android, I just don't have any apps purchased in the ecosystem. Good review.
What kind of setup are you using to get such smooth camera pans?
Man Mark Burstiner is awesome, all of his videos have been great...he's like John Rettinger 2.0
I'd rather go for Moto X Pure because of the Quad HD display and additional gig of RAM to help with performance. You get more out of it. Excellent video by the way.
1:07 Why did I not see that coming...
This is the review that has convinced me to buy the 5X.
hey did u face any lags or performance hiccups in ur device?
Simply speaking... this video production is essentially in line with the Verge.....
Hollywood level production. Great work and great review
+Anas Nazeer Thank you Anas! The guys worked really hard on this one.
Really solid buy in US only :P
Costs about 170 bucks more locally than what I paid for my Nexus 5 two years ago.
Great review. Check put the lag on the 5x when charging and trying to use certain apps. I tried charging it and posting a tweet on the twitter app at the same time and stutter and lag was awful! Your thoughts?
Mark Burstiner makes technobuffalo reviews so much more cooler!
+TechnoBuffalo new video style looks good and promising. Looking forward to more like this
