Arjun Dureja if your a high power user 2gb of ram probably isnt enough but if your just average user and just need it to check your social media and play some light games 2gb of ram will be enough
actually...more than 2 gb in android phones are used almost only for multitasking think about the nexus 5X that phone still works better than most under 300$ phones
Kevin The Tech Ninja Nope I disagree that a phone with 2 gigs of ram can't run high end games...I had the meizu m1 note with 2gb ram and it blazed through high end games on the highest setting. Now I have the honor 8 and I'm in love 😂
I need a phone Kevin, broke my last one. I was looking at the moto x pure. but I would like a better camera and battery life is the google pixel that much of an upgrade?
+Big Brown Guy it's a way better phone but consider one plus 3t. My review goes up tomorrow. But for the price pound for pound might be the best thing out there
Kevin The Tech Ninja one plus et is the third fastest phone. iPhone 7 is fastest (but iOS sucks) then there is the huawei mate 9 pro then the 3t. then pixel is fourth or 5th
Yeah the video was done before it was announced. It might make it into the video next time around, but I need to use it a bit, or check out reviews on it.
THanks for the help, Kevin. I'm researching phones for my wife. She got an inexpensive Asus at AT&T when we switched to them a couple of years ago and it's battery is dying. Not sure what we're getting yet, but this helps a lot.
I was able to purchase a like new Samsung Galaxy S6 edge 64GB off fleabay for $320 in December, but I'm returning to either my Lumia 640 or Moto G4 Play. If the LG G4 didn't have bootloop issue on almost every phone I'd move to that because they're going for under $200, but it's too much of a risk. That $300 price point is pretty large, you may as well start looking at the name brands LG, HTC, Apple, Samsung. I personally believe unless you're a power user you should stick to the $200 and under phones, or buy previous years well rated models. You still get alot of bang for your buck and it will do everything you need while looking good and saving you a ton of money.
I bought the R1 HD, used, early this year as an emergency purchase. For $30 it was a great buy for me to have a phone that can do stuff on a daily basis. I'll probably upgrade next year but this phone has taught me that budget phones do have some nice surprises.
What about the oneplus 2? I've been using it for a while and I haven't had any problem with anything and I'm a very heavy user and it never lags or battery doesn't seem to deplet fast at all.
i am special, trying to get a new phone off of apple since i keep having charge port problems with all my iphones. looking to get the google pixel xl since seems unbeatable. you seem like that be a good recommendation right?
jayesh Peswani Well the OnePlus 3 has a better screen, better cameras, faster charging, faster fingerprint scanner. The Moto Z Play has really good battery life.
say, I'm selling of my huawei p10 ( new and was a gift), because i felt that the screen size was too small for my liking. recently the huawei mate 8 and Nexus 6p 64gb both got major price cuts, can get them for about $450,....or should i spend like $520 for the one plus 3t? i browse on chrome, text and watch alot of videos ( softwares fluidity matters to me alot) . or spend like $550-580 for the mate 9? thanks!
At $250, I think that the LG G Flex 2 is an amazing phone. The camera is awesome, its stereo microphones sound great, it has one of the best speakers (albeit rear facing) I've heard on a phone, has a good (but hot) CPU, and has a great vibrant 1080p OLED. Plus, the curved design goes well with LG's power/volume button placement (on the back of the phone), since it fits well in the hand.
My current phone is on its way out. Getting really slow and starting to crash, not to mention its awful battery life that drains very fast even when asleep. I'm looking for something that works well with AT&T, runs games at a good speed, has a good battery life and is compatible with all apps, a lot of the phones I've looked at are limited in that aspect and I'm not a fan of it. Any suggestions? I was thinking about getting the Zuk Z2.
Thinking about getting a zenfone 3 zoom @ ~$330usd. Is there a better phone at same or less price? I'm interested for the battery life and camera, as my htc one m7 is takin a poop on me
No s7? I was considering till i saw Honor 8's price. S7 is currently at 450 euros in my country (which is close to 500) dollars. Should i go for that or do you think i should consider something else?
Hi there Im in Canada and i have about a $500 budget and i would like to purchase an Andriod, I recently dropped my first generation one plus one which i was in love with, because one of the first to get an invite to purchase. What phone would you suggest. I really like the screen size of the one plus one, and would like some of the newer updates of 2017 phones like the finger print recognition.. anyway before this gets too long... What would you suggest??
Hey guys check on the Asus Zenphones. There are a ton of options with RAM/Storage. But the price fallows. For example the 3GB RAM is $299 but then the 4GB is $399 bit the 6GB is $499 so you have options. I would recommend the 3GB version for $300. It will still be fast just not as fast as some others
Hey Kevin! I gather you use IOS and Android in depth and I would like to know what phone you would suggest for a person who wants good speakers, a good screen, excellent performance and durability as much for hardware as software wise and who has only used Apple but is open to android. Note the budget doesn't matter. If you could give this a look I would really appreciate it.
idk man, I've used both phones quite a bit and their both really quick, but the pixel is very smooth, but for the price, the One Plus 3 T is definitely really good, it's definitely either faster or close to most flagship smartphones
I'm looking for good sunlight readability, natural/Contrasty camera, true 1-day battery life, Cat-6 4G LTE, at least 3GB RAM & more than average performance & is speedy which Top 3 would u choose now...Honor 6X, Moto G5 Plus, Galaxy A3 2017? Or something else?
@kevin the tech ninja I had applied dbrand to moto g with a matte black finish on the back. but when i removed the same... it took off my original moto g matte on the back as well.. i just want to ask if there can be any problem if i remove the skin from one plus 3t!!
I don't know why no one is talking about the ZUK. if you want a great budget phone with all the great flagship phones qualities then that is the phone for you. can you do a video on that cause I wanna see your thoughts on it.
You can still buy them new on ebay and other places. It'll be off the list in the march edition, might replace it with the Honor 6x once i get mine in.
Hi guys, currently using htc one m8, but it's really showing its age.. i want to upgrade this week and my options are one plus 3T, s7 edge and maybe iphone 6s plus, they are all at the same pricing so i wonder which is the best option, help pls
What about the ZTE AXON 7??? I think it takes the under $400 dollars spot. The Honor 8 is great but i would rather trade a better display, better speakers & larger phone size, for a better camera. Don't get me wrong the Axon 7 is good. But the Honor 8 is a bit better. I think it even beats the Oneplus 3.
Hi Kevin! "I am special" lol per your request. :D Hey, can you do an updated video going over your best new phone picks? Thanks in advance! You may have already done this and I may have missed it.
4:00 says sd 801 chip and later says lags at games coz of adreno 306!!!! Man anyone these days can become a "tech" youtuber. Adreno 330 is more than capable of running modern Android games at 1080p, oneplus just screwed the hardware optimization with oneplus x.. My OPO runs everything fine but my friend's OPX lags in some games even though they share the same chipset.
im so sad moto x pure didn't live its hype. i got it late, about 5 months ago and its having alot of problems. camera wont start. Bluetooth wont work without forced stop. randomly it decides to crash and restart, sometimes the bootup animations will get frozen taking 3 minutes. speakerphone calls other than stock, only use bottom speaker. screen scratches extreamly easy. battery life is not good for me (thank goodness for turbocharge). gallery will show all pictures as grey. gets hot with heavy use or with turbocharge. it has its ups and alot of downs, i had a chance for the moto z, but i chose to stay with the roots. my mistake.
"I am special" who rapping at the end there? thats some good hippitie hoppitie hop right ther i tell ya now. your intro is dope, this video is dope, and what you said about the iPhone is spot on. i am not bias to either platform as I've been an android guy since the G1 but am lately having to use my wife's old iPhone 6. i am of the same mentality. ..ok i'm rambling....peace!!! oh...RTJ3...
*complains about a 100$ phone not having a fingerprint scanner* 😑
klaas mellema my honor 5x has a finger print scanner an it's only 170
The not so American eagle
Yes so?

mayur kulkarni I
mayur kulkarni that just says that he doesn't know what he's talking about
Also.... Honor 8 for life sexy asf
Meeeeeeeeeeeeee
He has oneplus one in the thumbnail, but had oneplus x in the video
comedyman112 thumbnail means nothing. this is just random phones I had in my desk.
Agree it's not hard to snap a photo of an actual phone in the video
5:56 2.5?
Social Tech yea caught that too he just meant 5.2 for the screen size I think
***** probably
He accidentally mixed up with the 2.5 D glass of the Honor 8.
came to the comments just for this lmao
axon7 and one plus 3t are my jam
My favorite is the axon 7!
Only has 2gb of ram? Idk if your serious
I am, phones now days have 3 and some even have 6.
Kevin The Tech Ninja yea they do but 2gb is more than enough for most things for most people
Arjun Dureja if your a high power user 2gb of ram probably isnt enough but if your just average user and just need it to check your social media and play some light games 2gb of ram will be enough
actually...more than 2 gb in android phones are used almost only for multitasking

I need a phone Kevin, broke my last one. I was looking at the moto x pure. but I would like a better camera and battery life
is the google pixel that much of an upgrade?
+Big Brown Guy it's a way better phone but consider one plus 3t. My review goes up tomorrow. But for the price pound for pound might be the best thing out there
Big Brown Guy one plus 3t or axon 7.. imo you can't go wrong with either
Big Brown Guy I would try iphone se. My se had a better camera and battery than my mom's x pure
yes I use it really fast
Kevin The Tech Ninja one plus et is the third fastest phone. iPhone 7 is fastest (but iOS sucks) then there is the huawei mate 9 pro then the 3t. then pixel is fourth or 5th
What about the LGV20? Where would you rank that?
im thinking about getting a s7 edge or is there any other better phone right now?
Hey kevin wat abt honor 6x newly came
Kevin Veyron not out
Yeah the video was done before it was announced. It might make it into the video next time around, but I need to use it a bit, or check out reviews on it.
THanks for the help, Kevin. I'm researching phones for my wife. She got an inexpensive Asus at AT&T when we switched to them a couple of years ago and it's battery is dying. Not sure what we're getting yet, but this helps a lot.
What's everyone's thought about the Nubia n1 compare the the 100 dollar and below
what phone do u use now as a daily driver
I was able to purchase a like new Samsung Galaxy S6 edge 64GB off fleabay for $320 in December, but I'm returning to either my Lumia 640 or Moto G4 Play.

is the note 4 still good? I want a phone with replaceable batter and bigscreen
I bought the R1 HD, used, early this year as an emergency purchase. For $30 it was a great buy for me to have a phone that can do stuff on a daily basis. I'll probably upgrade next year but this phone has taught me that budget phones do have some nice surprises.
Is there a smart phone that can match or surpass the Umi Super in specs & cost?
What about the Moto g4 plus, I order the phone today. What do you think Kevin
What about the oneplus 2? I've been using it for a while and I haven't had any problem with anything and I'm a very heavy user and it never lags or battery doesn't seem to deplet fast at all.
will you be reviewing the Xiaomi Mi6 in March?
I use to have a iphone 6 looking for anything abit cheaper no Samsung s or edge any suggestions?
i am special, trying to get a new phone off of apple since i keep having charge port problems with all my iphones. looking to get the google pixel xl since seems unbeatable.
you seem like that be a good recommendation right?
Hey Kev in regards to $300 to $400 phones why don't you have the ZTE Axon 7? I think that's a pretty good phone and I'm looking to buy it
Is a samsung s7 good to buy?
hey actually I am confused between moto zplay and one plus 3 plz tell which is great phone
jayesh Peswani Well the OnePlus 3 has a better screen, better cameras, faster charging, faster fingerprint scanner. The Moto Z Play has really good battery life.
due to low budget and wanting to have a great performer..........i bought a samsung note 4 a month ago.. is it ok to have this phone in 2017?
What would you say about the Axon 7 Mini, it's $199 rn
Kevin,
What's your opinion of the ZTE Axon 7?
Where does the "ZTE Blade Z Max" stand?
There are some budget phone on iPhone variant iPhone 5s is 150 dollars and how can you forget se
Does the One Plus X come with Android 5, not 6 or 7?
I have a honor 5x should I get the honor 8 later on?
+The not so American eagle I love the honor 8
4:10 the One Plus X has Adreno 330, not 306, you mixed it with the previous Motorola
Kevin, may I know your setup/icon pack at 5:35 ?? Love it, very clean and stylish
It's not the M15 it's the Mi 5 lol
say, I'm selling of my huawei p10 ( new and was a gift), because i felt that the screen size was too small for my liking. recently the huawei mate 8 and Nexus 6p 64gb both got major price cuts, can get them for about $450,....or should i spend like $520 for the one plus 3t? i browse on chrome, text and watch alot of videos ( softwares fluidity matters to me alot) . or spend like $550-580 for the mate 9?
thanks!
9:02 what wallpaper is that for the google pixel?
Why did u not review the htc bolt?
hi, what about Huawei mate 9, this is one of the best smartphones I ever had.
At $250, I think that the LG G Flex 2 is an amazing phone. The camera is awesome, its stereo microphones sound great, it has one of the best speakers (albeit rear facing) I've heard on a phone, has a good (but hot) CPU, and has a great vibrant 1080p OLED. Plus, the curved design goes well with LG's power/volume button placement (on the back of the phone), since it fits well in the hand.
Where can I get the clone trooper wallpaper on the 1+x?
My current phone is on its way out. Getting really slow and starting to crash, not to mention its awful battery life that drains very fast even when asleep. I'm looking for something that works well with AT&T, runs games at a good speed, has a good battery life and is compatible with all apps, a lot of the phones I've looked at are limited in that aspect and I'm not a fan of it. Any suggestions? I was thinking about getting the Zuk Z2.
Where can you buy a Oneplus X today
I got a galaxy s5 for 50 used, is that a good deal?
JForce it was probably scratched or something is the 5 good?
the only real issue was that the usb cover on the bottom was missing, otherwise its perfectly fine.
JForce seeing how it uses the same processor as the OnePlus x at $200... yeah if you can deal with the terrible software
JForce seeing how it uses the same processor as the OnePlus x at $200... yeah if you can deal with the terrible software
JForce yeah you might just need a memory card.
Thinking about getting a zenfone 3 zoom @ ~$330usd. Is there a better phone at same or less price? I'm interested for the battery life and camera, as my htc one m7 is takin a poop on me
What about the LG G Flex 2? Costs around 230€ and is unique
One of The best reviews i have ever seen. hugs from Argentina !
No s7? I was considering till i saw Honor 8's price. S7 is currently at 450 euros in my country (which is close to 500) dollars. Should i go for that or do you think i should consider something else?
Whats that case on the 6p?

Amazing list of the best budget phones
@Kevin The Tech Ninja, what is the difference (apart from material, obviously) of a metal body vs. a glass and a plastic body?

Hi there Im in Canada and i have about a $500 budget and i would like to purchase an Andriod, I recently dropped my first generation one plus one which i was in love with, because one of the first to get an invite to purchase. What phone would you suggest. I really like the screen size of the one plus one, and would like some of the newer updates of 2017 phones like the finger print recognition.. anyway before this gets too long... What would you suggest??
Samuel Twumasi I'd recommend the OnePlus 3 or 3t. Can't remember if its about 500 but it's pretty close. It has fingerprint.
You have the p9 lite in the us? guess it can maybe fall into the 200 or 300 category. I was really impressed by its performance and overall usability
does the first phone have a fingerprint scanner
Hey guys check on the Asus Zenphones. There are a ton of options with RAM/Storage. But the price fallows. For example the 3GB RAM is $299 but then the 4GB is $399 bit the 6GB is $499 so you have options. I would recommend the 3GB version for $300. It will still be fast just not as fast as some others
Great 74 year young thanks love listening have recommendations for seniors
Can you do a video similar to this but for the best camera smartphones at any budget? Both front and rear
The explanation you gave for 300$ mark was excellent and was out of the box. A strong supporter from India !!
None of the phones in the description are the price that you said they were
+Stewcop Stuff this video is 6 months old. Prices change all the time.
love the format kevin! Could you a similar video for tablets?
if it's not a bad question , what's the location on 09:15 , it looks stunning😍😍😍
Literally a video I've been needing right now
Great choice of affordable phones excellent video👍✌
Hey Kevin! I gather you use IOS and Android in depth and I would like to know what phone you would suggest for a person who wants good speakers, a good screen, excellent performance and durability as much for hardware as software wise and who has only used Apple but is open to android. Note the budget doesn't matter. If you could give this a look I would really appreciate it.
Oneplus 3t is the best android phone performance wise not pixel.
Biplav Shrestha Exactly!
Biplav Shrestha the one plus three T has the best specs, but the google pixel has the best optimization which makes it preform much better
Queezar Its faster than pixel. Pixels camera is better though.
Actually, Android optimization is the same on both the 3T and the Pixel.
idk man, I've used both phones quite a bit and their both really quick, but the pixel is very smooth, but for the price, the One Plus 3 T is definitely really good, it's definitely either faster or close to most flagship smartphones
I'm looking for good sunlight readability, natural/Contrasty camera, true 1-day battery life, Cat-6 4G LTE, at least 3GB RAM & more than average performance & is speedy which Top 3 would u choose now...Honor 6X, Moto G5 Plus, Galaxy A3 2017? Or something else?
@kevin the tech ninja I had applied dbrand to moto g with a matte black finish on the back. but when i removed the same... it took off my original moto g matte on the back as well.. i just want to ask if there can be any problem if i remove the skin from one plus 3t!!
I am special good video ...could you do ones on true wireless headphones
Your intro is totally dope bro.
I don't know why no one is talking about the ZUK. if you want a great budget phone with all the great flagship phones qualities then that is the phone for you. can you do a video on that cause I wanna see your thoughts on it.
OnePlus x isnt sold anymore... it was discontinued in the fall
You can still buy them new on ebay and other places. It'll be off the list in the march edition, might replace it with the Honor 6x once i get mine in.
Did he say Amazon is putting ads on the lock screen....? Ads are seriously getting out of hand
The video seems to be great as always! All of them are great choices! Now I need to watch till the end
Hi guys, currently using htc one m8, but it's really showing its age.. i want to upgrade this week and my options are one plus 3T, s7 edge and maybe iphone 6s plus, they are all at the same pricing so i wonder which is the best option, help pls
Looks like you'll have to remove the "Early 2017" tag on the title. Huawei just made a huge breakthrough with the Mate 9 and the Honor 6x.
Youve got something going here, keep it going.This helped me to make a decision when no one else could. Great job.
I am special.. lol
Kevin I was surprised that you haven't done a review for the honor note 8... you should definitely check it out
Can samebody tell me what is the intro song? But anyways very good video!
What about the ZTE AXON 7??? I think it takes the under $400 dollars spot. The Honor 8 is great but i would rather trade a better display, better speakers & larger phone size, for a better camera. Don't get me wrong the Axon 7 is good. But the Honor 8 is a bit better. I think it even beats the Oneplus 3.
i got the axon 7 i cant go back to bottom firing speakers
Arturo Almanza Axon 7 isn't as good as the 3 or 3T unfortunately
Hi Kevin! "I am special" lol per your request. :D Hey, can you do an updated video going over your best new phone picks? Thanks in advance! You may have already done this and I may have missed it.
Can I check my gmail on the pixel xl? I need to check my emails on the go.
which mosque is that??
why is Nexus 6P on the thumbnail?
Lee RayDi Why is the Oneplus One on the thumbnail??
It's just a thumbnail. I just grabbed random phones and tossed some money on it.. Same thumbnail from the summer.
what about the zte zmax pro

it has its ups and alot of downs, i had a chance for the moto z, but i chose to stay with the roots. my mistake.
Im using the one plus 3t and the pixel but will get the s8 edge when it releases
