      Not really, they do recommend phones for “most ppl” tho, there’s just more hype around the flagships, and it’s gotten out of control, let’s also keep in mind that ppl who buy one thousand dollar phones are the same demographic that either have cash laying around their house or won’t be upgrading anytime soon. Most ppl don't buy 1K phones straight upfront, you have to remember that alot of ppl take advantage of the yearly upgrade program with their carriers where you can buy it but pay for them monthly

    I commend/applaud CZcamsrs who review budget and mid-range phones because not everyone has the luxury to afford flagships.

      I can afford to buy a $1000 smartphone, but there's no way in hell I'm buying a $1000 smartphone in 2019. There are so many great affordable smartphones starting at $200 that have so many features and most importantly, they all make great phone calls. None of these "new tech" in smartphones is worth the over $1000 price tag.

      Surprise surprise! Economics class! If everyone could afford flagships for everything we'd all be flying the best personal jets, helicopters, onto the world's bestest production yachts, with the quietest submarines to dig for treasure at the bottom of the Mariana trench only because grandma lost some jewelry from the titanic after losing her v-card in a CAR inside a cruise ship. Then after finding her v-card memoirs we'd send it to Mars, because grandma gave that SpaceX engineer some throat, while her dentures rubbed his balls. Meanwhile some Ring webcam was being hacked and the link was sent to the emergency broadcast system. Because Ring is the new flagship of selfies.

      @EM Bluetooth earphones use less power now, with bt 5.0 it uses even less power than a headphone jack. Airpods and similar true wireless earphones are super compact and easy to use. And with batteries becoming more efficient, they deliver upto 5 hours of play back on few minutes of charge. Audio quality is pretty good on most BT earphones, although they still can't match the aux port, its still satisfactory for most cases.

    I'm a user who just changed from a Galaxy S8 to a Xiaomi MI 9T Pro. The math is simple. Why should I pay 2x the money for the same hardware? It's just nonsense, that people pay a thousand dollar for a device ,that you throw out at least after 2 years. Plus nowadays midrangers can be 2 -3 times powerful than a 2 years old flagship. An average user won't see the difference between a midrange and a flagship.

The higher end ones are powerful but they're laughable when compared to Qualcomm and straight up sh*t when compared to Apple's. The midrange exynos are just Samsung's cheap alternatives to cut on the Qualcomm tax by compromising on the speed so very much. Also they're pushing bad alternatives to everything in android. Like the one UI instead of stock android sucks, the image processing of samsung sucks when compared to Pixel phones, Bixby is terrible when compared to google assistant.

    Really great video.
    In the past few years the advancements are merely curved screens, foldable phones, motorized popup cameras, in-display fingerprint readers, increasingly faster charging, wireless charging, higher resolution cameras, and obviously faster processors. Some aesthetic trends have also come about, like glass backs and funky color gradients on the back. Maybe there's more but these are the major ones. Thing is though, most of these things aren't absolute necessities and most folks just want to watch a video or check their socials, as this video states. So apart from the glamor of flagships, most folks will be perfectly happy with a mid-range along with the satisfaction that they got a terrific deal for the money. Most don't need super blazing speeds either and mid-range processors are very fast already. Phones are fast becoming like PCs. The only thing that will help it keep selling is because phones are often in your hands or pockets so there's a greater tendency to damage them, making it necessary to get a new one. Not so much with PCs that just sit on your desk and are less subject to mishaps.
    I came from an S9+ to a Redmi Note 8 Pro and I just love how the Redmi doesn't have that irritating curved screen and delivers very near the performance of the S9+ which was $1200 at the time of purchase, while the Redmi was just $210 after promo codes, direct from Xiaomi.
    As time goes on and the tech stagnates it'll be a competition based on pricing, which is already happening now. And for us that can't be a bad thing.

Which is a steal. If it was an iPhone you can pay over a thousand and more since the value is better meaning you can resell it and get a healthy amount of that investment back without feeling robbed
