I'm debating getting one, problem is I have a budget of 750 so I would have to get the china rom version and I don't know if it is any good with china software in the uk coming from a samsung
@pizza4921 the Chinese rom doesn't have android auto, smart watch connectivity, has bloatware, no esim and less band connectivity if you don't care about those things go for the Chinese rom, but I went with the global variant for peace of mind
i hate these huge camera blocks on the phones these days. i wish they made a flag ship spec phone with minimalist size cameras, those which are used in the front cameras at the back. because one simple reason, i am not a photographer, the most photo i take is a QR code two or three times a year.
Yes! Yes! This is my thought exactly! I'll be using my camera for documents and maybe a few shots and use a real camera for projects. I'm hoping the Samsung would still have the smaller camera when it comes out.
Great content Dude. There's availability issues for the IQOO 13 and Oppo X8 both of which aren't available in the UK. The Global versions have to be sourced from elsewhere.
Heyo! I just switched from iphone to the x200 pro and it's been great so far only thing is that it doesn't work with my apple watch but I don't really mind it. If you are heavily involved in the apple ecosystem I'd say get the iphone but if you want to try something new get the x200 pro. (I have a m1 ipad pro, Airpods pro 2 and Apple watch 7)
@@ASBYTas of now am using IPhone 11 and recently was using S24 Ultra as my primary device but unfortunately lost on 13th Dec. So am bit confused to select. And also I don’t hv any other Apple products
7:06 im going to buy cmf phone 1 as my first phone as it gives the best software at its price better than many 300-500$ phone and it just cost 160$ in india,the things i dont like about it is its weight its 200+ grams,and we have to buy the charger separately and it the base varient is 6gb only,still i will get this instead of phone with too much ads and bloatwares...
I'm not a photographer, and I don't take pictures of anything at all. So I would prefer a slightly lighter 193g and a bit compact 6.59" FIND X8. I think its weight-to-size ratio is a reference, close to ideal, close to legendary ONEPLUS 8 (6.55 " / 180g ! ). So, if you are a photographer, or a person who runs social networks, then, of course, your choice - Vivo. For all other people Oppo - will be more than enough.
I have focused a lot on growing other platforms as well this year, instagram tiktok etc. but i have still uploaded a fair bit here, if you check my channel. Maybe you are not on the algorithm loop? Turn on the bell mate, so you know when I post 👌
shame is that all those chinese phones doesn't have tri-band wifi and not possible to select 6ghz in hotspot mode ... only samsung and one plus 12 has it
I wouldn’t give it that just yet. Starting at 128 gigs storage….. stupid. I think it should come in cheaper than the 24 ultra and 16 pro max by a fair amount until they can get a better chip in it. They did nail the look this year though. Feels and looks pretty premium to me. Next year will be the year pixel really starts to challenge for the top android flagship
You are WRONG. The balance of the Vivo x200 Pro is better than OnePlus 13 , s24 ultra and oppo find x8 pro!!! I had all of these devices in my hand (still have find x8 pro and x200 pro) and balance is NOT depending on camera pump. I hope you to see this comment do your (re)search and reply correctly.
Not sure what this means. When I hold it it feels top heavy because of the camera placement and how I have to hold it. This is a fact for me personally whether you agree or not 🤣

Most of the Chinese recommendations have horrendous software. Hardware and raw specs alone don't make a phone great. The software experience matters just as much.
Literally just not true, Chinese phone software is just fine, at least Oppo Xioami and OnePlus are. Lacks a COUPLE features of One UI, but it operates quicker and more smoothly so it's a fair toss up. I have been carrying a Chinese flagship for years and NEVER had a single software OR hardware issue. This is just a common misconception. They also don't cheap out on the hardware, at least not on flagships
The tree reference is still a Christmas pun regardless if you celebrate Christmas or not. Why qualify your remark with that? People are so scared to offend the weak and pathetic fools.
Again... all these youtubers doing these best phone by category... Just why? Am I gonna buy 4 smartphones? one for camera one for battery and one for gaming and one for design??? Just tell us what's the best OVERALL phone for God's sake! And by he wat I can tell you a better battery phone and it can last you 12 days it's the NOKIA 3320 .... SMH
10:22 bro did you just say 8s gen 3 better than 8 gen 3? Don"t you know what you are saying is absolutely wrong? 8 gen 3 is much much superior than 8s gen 3.
I just purchased my second Doogee.... I upgraded to the S200X at £200 it does everything I want. 512gb of storage and 10,000 mA battery, 120hz display. All that you really need....plus a rugged outdoor waterproof design.
No timestamps?!
Im telling u
If he thinks I'm gonna sit here and listen to him ramble for 17 minutes then he dead wrong.
Correction: the snapdragon 8 gen 3 in the galaxy flip is the superior chipset compared to the snapdragon 8s gen 3 found in the Motorola flip.
Currently using the Vivo x200 pro and OnePlus 13. Good to see you back Adam.
The oneplus13 is out since?
@DieTabbi It's a Chinese import that has been flashed with the global rom. Came out 2nd of December in china.

No mention of the z fold special edition?
No point if it’s not available to most of the market
Got cmf phone 1 for 200$ and its provided more than i expected
Love my white Oppo x8 pro global version 🎉 Performance, camera, battery, design, they did so well this year!
What’s your favourite feature Joanna?

I would definitely get the Z fold special edition if it was available worldwide and didn't cost like 4 grand
Sadly Vivo 200 pro won't be available on UK market
In WondaMobile shop you buy Vivo x200 Pro Global version with english charger inside!
I am from Greece and I have to use eu adapter to charge 😅

10:18 8s gen 3 isn't superior to 8 gen 3
Minor correction - I think you meant 6.67 inches for the Xiaomi 15. 6.36 inches is kind of a small screen
6.36 is not that small
It's definitely 6.36
Oppo 👑❤

I bought global version of Vivo X200 Pro
How you finding it?
@ASBYT it's available in our country India Bro
Id buy the oneplus open.
Nah man ..
Compared to the oneplus open the galaxy y z fold6 and the pixel 9 pro xl is way better.
In my opinion the Pixel 9 Pro XL is an all around winner
Pixel lagy😂

The chipset is bad
Best smartphone for early 2025 is s25 ultra
After one plus 13
@adammichalec1356 disagree
Moved from s24 ultra to vivo x200 pro, battery and camera s leaps and bound better
Also transmits data straight to Winnie the pooh faster 😂
Bro seriously??
From a brand like samsung to a brand like vivo?
The user experience of the galaxy s24 ultra is so much better than the vivo x200 pro.
What a down grade xdd could have waited for the S25 since is coming out in February 💀💀💀
You are WRONG.
The balance of the Vivo x200 Pro is better than OnePlus 13 , s24 ultra and oppo find x8 pro!!!
