You need a new category looking forward: The Best "future pointing" phone series? Samsung Galaxy S24 All phones in the future will be replacing laptops by simply connecting (wire/wireless) to an external monitor keyboard and mouse.

"King" thats a whole title xdd no phone is kinda because we all have different use for them. And tbh the Vivo can be the phone of the year but lets not fool ourselfs its a chinese phone like Huawei it can happen that all of the sudden it gets banned plus Oppo Vivo Oneplus all the same company behind them 🫠🫠
as someone who resides in a place where chinese phones are very easy to get, they don't last as long as Apple/Samsung/Google, they are VERY GOOD at the first year of use, but eventually problems arise and you'd start thinking of changing phones.
@@gemyellow I can't really speak for the newer phones but my Huawei Nova 2i has been going strong for 6 years now. And a lot of my friends have 3+ year old Chinese phones too. It's all a matter of what you're expecting from your phone. If you want to keep absolute peak performance, most phones, even apple and Samsung would last like 2 years max. Otherwise you'll be fine to use it as an everyday regular phone.
As an iphone user - no ai in a phone "built from the ground up with ai..." I honestly think apple has become too big and are making mistakes getting complacent. They will lose the crown. Like this control centre garbage, crap new photos app, no update to frustrating to use airpods max (after 4yrs), among many other things. It all goes against what made apple rise to the top - making great products.
It's not really that crazy. Apple has been riding the popularity of their name for a while now while bringing very little to the table. People are finally catching on and just going for something which is better value for money or at least has newer and better features.
Another fantastic review! Can't believe how far phone technology has come in just a year. That Vivo phone is mind-blowing. But seriously, the Google pixel with thick Bezzel had really selling 😂.
It's wonderful to witness Vivo receiving well-deserved recognition. They've made significant progress and are doing exceptional work. However, it seems they're still not discussed as much as they should be.
Indeed, they are mainly based in eastern countries so it's only logical to think you won't hear of them here. But thanks to mrwhosetheboss a lot of us have now.
Which cell phone do you recommend? Oneplus 13 or Vivo x200 Pro? I want a phone that's good at gaming and emulating games, but I don't want to sacrifice software and camera so much, what do you think?
@@SSamYou pretty confused tbh. I felt like the S24 was all round best phone. AI, screen durability, pretty nice camera upgrade. Idk. Maybe im biased bcz i have no clue what vivo 200 has better, gotta check it out.
@ atleast you said you were a little bit biased on Samsung is better most android fans just claim they’re not biased and keep spamming that Apple will never surpass android(yeah this comment might confuse you)
Well apple is its own thing. It’s easier to compare android to android but if you like iOS and apple then quite frankly nothing from android matters to you
I have dedicated my life to reviewing Chinese ROM phones, to see Arun giving companies like Vivo, Xiaomi and Honor the credit they deserve is truly amazing! You are the GOAT my friend!
Chinese technology has really been catching up in quality these past few years, towards where now you really can get effectively the same quality at half the price of European and American counterparts. Really cool to see!
As someone who has the Vivo X100 Pro, it's good to see Vivo getting some credit for their phones. When I first got my X100 Pro it felt like a huge leap forwards in terms of the camera.
I've been using iQOO devices(Vivo's sub-Brand) since 2021. When I got my new device this year, it was still an iQOO. I'm typically not a brand loyalist and keep switching brands, Vivo thoroughly impressed me.
I never expected the vivo ultra series to EVER get featured in a mrwhosetheboss video after so long the vivo x100 pro, the x100 ultra, the x200 ultra, aswell as the oppo find x pro/ultra series, are just SOOO underrated
yup! tru tho~ : ) no one saw that coming… i mean who saw vivo even making it till there! : O let alone be the winner! : ) shame it’s not available in the uk : ( & the us…!
Thanks for the video! After deep research this year I will switch the iPhone 16 Pro Max, any recommendation for not cheap low quality screen protector?
You stole my words man... It's so true!!! Mrwhosetheboss feels more like a noob GenZ oriented channel. Even when he talks about phones, it's amateurish. If you're reading this Arun, where is Mrwhosetheboss? Where's the guy who made a hologram? Where's the guy who investigated phone crashing stories and deadly wallpapers? Where's the guy who used to do explainers? You've become so "I bought this" or "I bought that"... I subscribed you in 2020 after watching your "Can a cheap 2020 Phone beat a 2018 flagship?" Video. You were so outrageously professional and innovative now you've traded those for gimmicks and blown up reactions

And still I bet you that Arun didn't switch to the Vivo as a daily driver. This award to Vivo was just so he could make things different this year. We all know that if given the choice 99% of people would choose the Samsung or the IPhone over the Vivo.
Unexpected for you not for the person who has a good idea about smartphone technologies and upcoming updates about smartphones :). Yeah that's the reality
Could you please review more phones from brands like Vivo, Oppo, and Realme, which are apparently selling like hotcakes in Asia where a lot of your audience is from?
I love the fact that his rankings are always honest and above all he doesn't always say the usual known phones but finds others that are more difficult to find
I genuinely appreciate how you are keeping things diverse and awarding phones that are not necessarily available in every market, that's true respect to the phones themselves
Man congratulations to including the Vivo, I've seen it excluded in so many western videos due to its incompatibility but you decided to show the best of the best and didn't hold back 👏🏻
True, but it is relatively new (next gen) which directly competes with Xiaomi 15. The Xiaomi 14, was released in early 2024, makes a significant contribution to keeping compact phones competitive for 2024 market.
@@NothingNewNerdmate it's literally smaller than xiaomi 14 and 15 6.38inch, what are you on? It still compact and even smaller than xiaomi's, I guess vivo is simply too good to be true, just as the x fold 3 pro wasn't mentioned
also Xiaomi 15 Ultra, those phones will finish sleepy Samsung and iPhone , those brands thinking that they build reputation which will open all doors for ever, but Chinese brands deliver so many innovations and world best hardware , I have s24 Ultra and Xiaomi 14 Ultra, only thing Samsung has better is size and UI, everything else is better in Xiaomi, plus photography kit, wow!
Absolutely agree about the camera. Vivo definitely deserves a lot more attention then other brands such as Samsung or Apple. Their smartphone photography is just a next level. I'm using is as a daily driver 😊
This is really a very fair and comprehensive ranking of 2024 mobile phone.. very detailed coverage of the different brands and honest ranking.. I feel that MKBHD shd feel ashame.. his top 2024 mobile phone video is really shallow and ignore a lot of the good phones in support of iphone, Samsung and pixel. 👍 Good Job 👏👏👏
First time, someone give credit to deservee. Thanks for not being bias bro. Indeed, being a tech enthusiast, VIVO improved exceptionally and overpassed all other so-called big names. Note: X200 Pro user here as daily driver.
The problem with Chinese smartphones like Vivo and Xiaomi is that their software works perfectly out of the box, but after an Android update, you won't have the same experience anymore. I've personally experienced this with OnePlus and Xiaomi phones, where the latest update left the device with bugs that were never fixed. However, after several years with the Galaxy S21 Ultra, everything still runs as smoothly as it did on day one.
I agree with that for mi,oppo and honor. But vivo is a hidden gem interms of software experience. I still use my Vivo v23 pro as my second phone along with my iPhone 16pm , trust me it’s still as good as new.Even the cheapest of the cheap vivo phone last longer than a Samsung flagship.(burnt my hands with s21 ultra and 22 ultra)
@@roro-v3z Same. Had my OP12 since February and it's as fast as when it launched. A15 helped a lot with that. Only annoyance is that notification bug everyone's been getting recently
@@roro-v3z other OnePlus devices are having problems and Vivo and oppo is better than OnePlus. I haven't seen Vivo and oppo device being dead after OTA update. Your country?
How is your experience so far? I'm using the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I was hoping that maybe in 2024, Apple would bring some unique changes in their new iPhone. But when the iPhone 16 Pro Max was released, I was disappointed, which is why I didn’t switch to the new iPhone. I’ve heard praise for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, but I’ve never used it. I'm thinking of switching to Android, but I’m not sure which phone would be good since there are so many options in the Android world.
I have s24Ultra and Xiaomi 14 Ultra with photographer kit, today in my opinion wins who bringing to the table something more than stable system, fast processor and bright screen. Samsung and Apple they already forget about innovations in hardware, they giving to as only better software and for last 4 years those phones didn't change anything, Im more than 10 years premium Samsung user and specially last 3 years I receive identical phones with identical all over performance, iPhone is same like Samsung, boring. Yesterday I bought for my holidays new phone because camera features, Xiaomi 14 Ultra and have to say that this phone make me happy first time from many years, distance in picture quality between this phone and s24Ultra surpliced me so much, only thing that Samsung have better is UI, I hate UI in Xiaomi, it tries to be like iPhone, handicap like iPhone, Samsung doing it better, but hardware belongs to Xiaomi for sure, I love it, after my holidays I will decide which phone keep and which give up. I don't want to say Samsung is bad, in my opinion is better than iPhone, but is boring, zero exiting, I thing its right why s24 win this competition, overall best stable and universal flagship, but little rusty in hardware. Btw this is crazy how far Chinese brands goes today, few years ago I would just make jokes about them , today I keep my mouth open wide when using one!
@@Masterysky Im strongly considering to pick up either the x100 Ultra or x200 Pro. Both would be in the Chinese version, and so I wonder how much the irremovable Chinese elements of the OS actually interferes with user experience.
Please respond. How do you deal with -Google location history not working ? -No Google feed when swiping right -No notifications on lockscreen (disappear after unlock,) -No Google assistant
Im so happy phones from other countries are not getting discredited because they are practically not available in the UK and US (and canada by extension, canadian here!) I have family outside that use Honor and Xiaomi but I couldnt give it a check yet. Thank you Mr. And happy 2025🎉
Actually Vivo brand is very underrated in Europe! I have my Vivo X100 pro with Chinese room and with the origin os 5 I can finally have Android Auto, with an amazing camera and battery! Thumbs up for Vivo. By the way I got the Vivo X100 Pro with 1TB by 760€!!!

Which cell phone do you recommend? Oneplus 13 or Vivo x200 Pro? I want a phone that's good at gaming and emulating games, but I don't want to sacrifice software and camera so much, what do you think?
i guess all of us thought that it's either gonna be Samsung or Apple. But what a twist man.
Congratulations to Vivo X200 pro
Yes congratulations Apple and Samsung are good but we needed another phone to get up there
@@SSamYou pretty confused tbh. I felt like the S24 was all round best phone. AI, screen durability, pretty nice camera upgrade. Idk. Maybe im biased bcz i have no clue what vivo 200 has better, gotta check it out.
Yeah, it was a real nailbiter. Lol, nerd.
@ atleast you said you were a little bit biased on Samsung is better most android fans just claim they’re not biased and keep spamming that Apple will never surpass android(yeah this comment might confuse you)
Well apple is its own thing. It’s easier to compare android to android but if you like iOS and apple then quite frankly nothing from android matters to you
I have dedicated my life to reviewing Chinese ROM phones, to see Arun giving companies like Vivo, Xiaomi and Honor the credit they deserve is truly amazing! You are the GOAT my friend!
I agree with his overall best phone of the year...Vivo x200P is indeed a fab phone
vivo THE GOAT love to see people recognizing good phones good job BBK group
Vivo the King 🔥🎇
Chinese technology has really been catching up in quality these past few years, towards where now you really can get effectively the same quality at half the price of European and American counterparts. Really cool to see!
@dmitryr9613 same quality? they have always been better and been innovating
You have come such a long way with this channel 😊
Vivo be like :" It's an Honor. "
I'll let myself out...
💀
huawai u mean
@@sourovpaul6081 Nothing 💀💀💀
You good Sir deserve a lot more thumbs up
It's an honor who couldn't 😂
As someone who has the Vivo X100 Pro, it's good to see Vivo getting some credit for their phones. When I first got my X100 Pro it felt like a huge leap forwards in terms of the camera.
I've been using iQOO devices(Vivo's sub-Brand) since 2021. When I got my new device this year, it was still an iQOO. I'm typically not a brand loyalist and keep switching brands, Vivo thoroughly impressed me.
@@Northflash_2k I actually had a look at some reviews of their devices before opted for the Vivo. I previously had the Oppo Find X5 Pro.
I never expected the vivo ultra series to EVER get featured in a mrwhosetheboss video after so long
the vivo x100 pro, the x100 ultra, the x200 ultra, aswell as the oppo find x pro/ultra series, are just SOOO underrated
i still use a Find X3 Pro. Still a very good phone by today's standard.
@@syiqayd Have you found X3 Pro yet?
im an oppo find x7 ultra user, absolutely MOGS everyone else in the US. 6x zoom absolutely kills any samsung or apple competiton
@@MyUsernameisDifferent Also IQOO
Agreed with all the awards as always, you are best Sire! Thanks a lot..
11:42 That's the phone camera. *THAT* is the phone camera.
WOW! I didn't even realize until looking up at the top right corner!
same i didn’t even realise it either
Nobody is close to vivo in portrait
Thats insane
Looking up u mean
@bhaskar1522 Right, sorry lol. That was a leftover mistake from when I forgot what corner the text showed up in.
I'm totally agree with the final result, Vivo. I've watched a lot of reviews about it and the results are great!
Thanks for being honest and not biased towards the more known companies
yup!
tru tho~ : )
no one saw that coming…
i mean who saw vivo even making it till there! : O
let alone be the winner! : )
shame it’s not available in the uk : (
& the us…!
I came back here after mkhbds video, this is so much better
Mee tooo. I think MKBHD is better 😂
Mkbhd giving best camera award to iphone was disappointing 🫠
It's not a competition
his bias is insane. i can really tell it's obvious
Thanks for the video! After deep research this year I will switch the iPhone 16 Pro Max, any recommendation for not cheap low quality screen protector?
Can somebody teach me how to put the search glass icons please?
Vionentus. PERIOD. Their screen protectors and iPhone cases are the best you can get in my opinion imo
iPhone is a bit expensive but worth it.
+1 for Vionentus screen protector, Never had a single scratch and I’m a construction worker so you can imagine!
Spigen makes great screen protectors
18:42 not to mention that it scratches at a level 7 with deeper grooves at a level 8
is level 7 good or bad? i don't watch jerryrigeverything
@@bhoomeerg8045 it is very good
@bhoomeerg8045 All the phones scratch at level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7, S24U took a step above others
@@bhoomeerg8045it just refers to Mohs scale of mineral hardness. 10 is diamond, 1 is talc (used in baby powders).
@@vangledosh thx
I did not even notice the difference when he took the video on the Vivo x200 Pro! Amazing Phone there!
They nailed it with the x100 and crushed it with the x200
I'm requesting vivo X200 series or vivo X200 mini separate video Mr Arun thank you
I love this series because you barely talk about smartphones anymore and congrats on 20 mil btw ❤
I mean… he's a tech channel so (i get it tho, I love his smartphone videos)
You stole my words man... It's so true!!!
Mrwhosetheboss feels more like a noob GenZ oriented channel. Even when he talks about phones, it's amateurish.
If you're reading this Arun, where is Mrwhosetheboss? Where's the guy who made a hologram? Where's the guy who investigated phone crashing stories and deadly wallpapers? Where's the guy who used to do explainers? You've become so "I bought this" or "I bought that"... I subscribed you in 2020 after watching your "Can a cheap 2020 Phone beat a 2018 flagship?" Video. You were so outrageously professional and innovative now you've traded those for gimmicks and blown up reactions
What do you mean?
Hmmm
How long does the Vivo get updates?
17:13 it looks like somebody bought a google pixel, slapped a pink glittery case over it, and called it a new phone
19:34 ...we saw nothing ;)
I literally saw nothing 😂

He really loved Vivo X200 Pro...
Why did you write "Android Awards"?
@@clementhardy Because he didn't choose iPhone in any category, it's a boring phone
There's no iOS phone that won...
With how much Android phones improved, seeing iphone is just simple underwhelming. BORING
That doesn't mean it's an "Android" specifically award. It's a global one with no iPhone.
There's no Motorola either.
20:08 "It feels naughty"
It was fun having this ride with you 2024
Haven't gotten any of these devices yet but i keep watching,soon i know its coming ❤
WTF!!! VIVO crushed both Apple and Samsung 💀
And oppo also crushed samsung and apple
And still I bet you that Arun didn't switch to the Vivo as a daily driver.
This award to Vivo was just so he could make things different this year. We all know that if given the choice 99% of people would choose the Samsung or the IPhone over the Vivo.
what were you expecting...you saw the X100 ultra🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Because those people are slaved to those company .. I'm glad apple didn't win any award considering how bad their performance this year @@pmpmelo
Smartphone Vivo.
2:43 The question: has any company ever reached out to you guys and wanted to have the trophies?:)
yes in a video he showed every single on of them collected their trophy except for apple.
@@sabitalrazi9936 that’s such a apple thing to do
12:07 whoo that was unexpected
More unexpected than his shorts? 😂
Unexpected for you not for the person who has a good idea about smartphone technologies and upcoming updates about smartphones :). Yeah that's the reality
Only for you
Thats why we call him mrWhoostheboss
Try adding itel products in videos. They have 🐝 really impressive this year
Could you please review more phones from brands like Vivo, Oppo, and Realme, which are apparently selling like hotcakes in Asia where a lot of your audience is from?
Yeah but he lives in the UK so he doesn't have easy access to them
And doesn't even say thanks for your money contributions which is very generous🔥🔥
Also Iqoo midrange phones
Finally! It’s a blessing every year you do this
4:12 I thought he was gonna say “huwawei mate X3 waka waka waka” 😂😂😂
I agree with you! Very constructive and friendly explanation with good arguments for every winner! 🏆
I knew it was gonna be Vivo, it deserves it 20:29
Congrats Arun! The house is shaping up so well!
Thanks for the video! After deep research I will switch to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, any recommendation for high quality screen protector?
Can somebody teach me how to put the search glass icons please?

how does someone arrive to that conclusion?
Apple the last few years has made decent progress with their phones but this year?... yeah, no
Mr Whosetheboss surpassed MKBHD 😮😮😮😮
I love the fact that his rankings are always honest and above all he doesn't always say the usual known phones but finds others that are more difficult to find
Been waiting for this!!!
Same
Not me but 2 min is quite early
It is really unbelievable how you manage both your house series and tech videos simultaneously... props to you Arun!
the house series is already filmed and edited, all he's doing is releasing each video week after week
I genuinely appreciate how you are keeping things diverse and awarding phones that are not necessarily available in every market, that's true respect to the phones themselves
these videos ain't no buying guide. they're pieces of art and history to look back into.
well said
8:58 the transition to phonk/RGB was amazing
Congratulations 🎉👏
Vivo X200 is winner❤😮🏆
Man congratulations to including the Vivo, I've seen it excluded in so many western videos due to its incompatibility but you decided to show the best of the best and didn't hold back 👏🏻
Vivo x200 mini is the best compact phone of 2024!
True, but it is relatively new (next gen) which directly competes with Xiaomi 15. The Xiaomi 14, was released in early 2024, makes a significant contribution to keeping compact phones competitive for 2024 market.
Vivo is best for me for flagship model photography and videography 👍
Ehh...6.31 inches is a bit too big to be considered compact
@@NothingNewNerdmate it's literally smaller than xiaomi 14 and 15 6.38inch, what are you on? It still compact and even smaller than xiaomi's, I guess vivo is simply too good to be true, just as the x fold 3 pro wasn't mentioned
Too bad it will remain in the Chinese market
3:59 was gonna rage comment for leaving out honor but bro came in clutch
Yeah, I was hoping he’d mention it before he actually did.
Same here
I was like, bro did you forget some other phones
I am currently typing from my honor magic v3 and I couldn't be happier!!
Vivo x200 series will be launching globally soon, i cannot wait to get a hands on these certified beasts of a phones!
Do you have a date by any chance?
@@chaosen3 Somewhere around December but December 15th in my country !
also Xiaomi 15 Ultra, those phones will finish sleepy Samsung and iPhone , those brands thinking that they build reputation which will open all doors for ever, but Chinese brands deliver so many innovations and world best hardware , I have s24 Ultra and Xiaomi 14 Ultra, only thing Samsung has better is size and UI, everything else is better in Xiaomi, plus photography kit, wow!
I was wondering why you're wearing a suit then I realized, ohhhh it's an awards ceremony! Waha sooo refreshing!
this is what a tech reviewer really should be, totally unbiased and considers every aspect that should be taken into account. kudos 👏
He has been paid by vivo Bro
Who is Kudos?
Intentionally leaving out the two absolute best phones period is obviously bullshit.
2024: Vivo paid him the most so Vivo is the best.
Unbiased?! He literally bought a new house for calling ViVO best in this video 😂
I’ve been waiting all YEAR for this video
bro wut?!
Me too, bro)
Absolutely agree about the camera. Vivo definitely deserves a lot more attention then other brands such as Samsung or Apple. Their smartphone photography is just a next level. I'm using is as a daily driver 😊
Your video also deserves a lot more attention then other tech TH-camrs ❤.I watched your Vivo x200 pro reviews
This is really a very fair and comprehensive ranking of 2024 mobile phone.. very detailed coverage of the different brands and honest ranking.. I feel that MKBHD shd feel ashame.. his top 2024 mobile phone video is really shallow and ignore a lot of the good phones in support of iphone, Samsung and pixel. 👍 Good Job 👏👏👏
Yeah. This is why I am waiting for the X200 Ultra for my Japan, Taiwan, Thailand trip next year
It would be interesting to know which companies have actually asked for these trophies to be delivered physically
First time, someone give credit to deservee. Thanks for not being bias bro.
Indeed, being a tech enthusiast, VIVO improved exceptionally and overpassed all other so-called big names.
Note: X200 Pro user here as daily driver.
I wish it worked in the u.s.
Surely! Even my Vivo X Fold 3 Pro is 100x better than these all foldable combined. The only drawback is software.
@@iftehadahmed9312 no worries, they're still improving and hoping for best as how they did in other categories. Cheers!
When it comes to zoom, what is the best smartphone the channel has tested? 🇧🇷 Loves This channel
love how all of the videos at the moment are filmed in the only two rooms he's revealed 😂
well yeah he doesnt wanna give us any spoilers
The problem with Chinese smartphones like Vivo and Xiaomi is that their software works perfectly out of the box, but after an Android update, you won't have the same experience anymore. I've personally experienced this with OnePlus and Xiaomi phones, where the latest update left the device with bugs that were never fixed. However, after several years with the Galaxy S21 Ultra, everything still runs as smoothly as it did on day one.
I agree with that for mi,oppo and honor. But vivo is a hidden gem interms of software experience. I still use my Vivo v23 pro as my second phone along with my iPhone 16pm , trust me it’s still as good as new.Even the cheapest of the cheap vivo phone last longer than a Samsung flagship.(burnt my hands with s21 ultra and 22 ultra)
Vivo and oppo provides quality updates unlike Xiaomi and OnePlus
Not true at all, I am using Oneplus 12 from almost a year now, its sooo good
@@roro-v3z Same. Had my OP12 since February and it's as fast as when it launched. A15 helped a lot with that. Only annoyance is that notification bug everyone's been getting recently
@@roro-v3z other OnePlus devices are having problems and Vivo and oppo is better than OnePlus. I haven't seen Vivo and oppo device being dead after OTA update. Your country?
Perfect Black Friday timing
Please tell them to add 3.5mm Jack, It's Very easy and Convenient Way to Experience the Audio
4:05 good catch
You noticed too 😂😂
thanks man
yeah that whas good
bro I was so scared the he would break the shelf behind
The only comment I was looking for
4:03 Must be heavy af if that's glass 😬
Kudos to the guy for catching it without being dead!
thanks man
Watching on S24 Ultra 🔥🎉
How is your experience so far?
I'm using the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I was hoping that maybe in 2024, Apple would bring some unique changes in their new iPhone. But when the iPhone 16 Pro Max was released, I was disappointed, which is why I didn’t switch to the new iPhone. I’ve heard praise for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, but I’ve never used it. I'm thinking of switching to Android, but I’m not sure which phone would be good since there are so many options in the Android world.
@@favenger8764 loving it, the anti-reflective screen itself makes it worth it for me, along with long software support, besides the usual stuff 🔥
I have s24Ultra and Xiaomi 14 Ultra with photographer kit, today in my opinion wins who bringing to the table something more than stable system, fast processor and bright screen. Samsung and Apple they already forget about innovations in hardware, they giving to as only better software and for last 4 years those phones didn't change anything, Im more than 10 years premium Samsung user and specially last 3 years I receive identical phones with identical all over performance, iPhone is same like Samsung, boring. Yesterday I bought for my holidays new phone because camera features, Xiaomi 14 Ultra and have to say that this phone make me happy first time from many years, distance in picture quality between this phone and s24Ultra surpliced me so much, only thing that Samsung have better is UI, I hate UI in Xiaomi, it tries to be like iPhone, handicap like iPhone, Samsung doing it better, but hardware belongs to Xiaomi for sure, I love it, after my holidays I will decide which phone keep and which give up. I don't want to say Samsung is bad, in my opinion is better than iPhone, but is boring, zero exiting, I thing its right why s24 win this competition, overall best stable and universal flagship, but little rusty in hardware. Btw this is crazy how far Chinese brands goes today, few years ago I would just make jokes about them , today I keep my mouth open wide when using one!
I'm watching on vivo x70 pro plus 3 years done still best smooth best camera
Can you do a similar videos with computers and laptops (separately)
I have a vivo X200 pro and I'm so damn happy with it coming from an iPhone 14 pro max
Chinese or global version?
@ Chinese version but I don’t see any difference in terms of Google services or any app.
@@Masterysky Im strongly considering to pick up either the x100 Ultra or x200 Pro. Both would be in the Chinese version, and so I wonder how much the irremovable Chinese elements of the OS actually interferes with user experience.
I honestly have been crazy about it since it released I'm just so broke
Please respond. How do you deal with
-Google location history not working ?
-No Google feed when swiping right
-No notifications on lockscreen (disappear after unlock,)
-No Google assistant
i love that you're using the last space you've made a video on. Like unlocking a new character in a game

Im so happy phones from other countries are not getting discredited because they are practically not available in the UK and US (and canada by extension, canadian here!) I have family outside that use Honor and Xiaomi but I couldnt give it a check yet. Thank you Mr. And happy 2025🎉
The fact that samsung edges 90% of these categories shows how good the company is overall it is the jack of all trades master of none this year
Actually Vivo brand is very underrated in Europe! I have my Vivo X100 pro with Chinese room and with the origin os 5 I can finally have Android Auto, with an amazing camera and battery! Thumbs up for Vivo. By the way I got the Vivo X100 Pro with 1TB by 760€!!!
