I have been following Michael for a couple of years now, from a student in India to Canada. And I must say from his script, editing to honest reviews I have always been a fan🙏🏻 thankyou
What a grand tour and a great video. With all the TH-camrs around, I feel you're one of the few they call "seasoned". Thanks, Michael. Looking forward to more next year.
@@anb1142 "Cans and Buds" is slang or shorthand for "headphones and earbuds." A "can of Bud" is a container of Budweiser, a popular beer in North America. I intentionally conflated the two for a very dumb joke. 😄
something every tech reviewer missed was the Lenovo Thinkbook Plus Gen 3, it's a laptop with an ultrawide screen and has a second display next to the keyboard. It was released in 2022 but no big tech reviewer made a video on it.
Everyone in the comments has pretty much said anything there was to say. So I will just say this: a heartfelt thank you for another year of great videos, great reviews, and - why not - great locales! Happy festivities and onward to an even greater new year. Cheers! //Rick
Honestly until I save up for a decent gaming desktop, my son got that this year for Christmas (shh don’t tell him), my steam deck is my main gaming device. Be it in my hands or hooked up to my 55” tv using a ps5 controller, it’s a pleasure to use every time. I love it.
I'd love to see some coverage of the Nreal Air glasses (and/or some similar glasses, since there are a couple options out there) I haven't picked them up but they're right behind the Steam Deck (which they apparently play well with) in terms of tech I wanna pick up. Could be a good pickup for the mobile life, in terms of being able to play games or watch movies (or even do work, especially since the Nreal Air specifically work with Macbooks to do an AR triple display setup, apparently) with less space taken up for the view you get with them. i.e. I've heard them described as a personal private theater before.
FOOD SHOULDN'T MOVE but then I was also torn since it did actually look really good. NO, I STAND BY MY FIRST STATEMENT, FOOD SHOULD NOT BE MOVING. I'll eat RAW FISH, but that's been cubed to a point where it stops moving. I love Sushi.
The Steam Deck is definitely a weird one in terms of what games are compatible. All the specs to be able to run a ton of modern, AAA games, but a backlog of configuring software to make older games compatible. Tabletop Simulator and Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy are two of the games in my collection I'm a little disappointed to see not make the cut, but being able to play Cyberpunk on physical hardware (instead of in the cloud like I have been), let alone on the go makes it one of my highest priority purchases.
@Carl Gunderson No it's not. Devs generally don't make their games compatible with it. It's to do with the state of the translation from code written for running on Windows to run it on Linux. Most of the translating software being done by WINE, with Valve and CodeWeavers really only just adding some polish on top.
A round of applause please for the best 2022 Tech Recap I’ve yet seen this far: honest opinions, well sorted between brands and devices, ~20 min max footage, well edited, great landscapes or scenes, scripts on point … got me hooked the whole video. Well done MrMobile! 👏🏻 👏🏻
@@TheMrMobile I'm absolutely gutted we never met while I was roaming the streets of Brooklyn, but I'm happy we share a common favourite "temporary building" 😀
Given how many reviewers have lauded its $399 price, it’s amusing to hear someone call the Steam Deck an “expensive compromise”. Yes, the Series S is $299, and the digital PS5 is $399 (if you can get your hands on one), but portability (display, battery, etc.) comes at a cost.
It really depends on how you're using it. If you have got other systems that you play the same games on, then yes, it is an expensive compromise, even the base version.
This is splendid. It felt so relatable while you demonstrate the capabilities of each product you mentioned. It feels like I've penetrated the hype wall behind every launch and actually witness the tech being utilized at it's desired environment. Thank you!
Always enjoy MrMobile's content. As a Star Trek fan I also like the references in his videos, looks like he started early in this one 1:13 that Gagh looks pretty fresh.
One of the best feature cell phones can offer, when recording video. Give the option of automatically record in horizontal mode and have the videos NOT look amateurish.
Steam Deck has been my favorite new tech this year. Pretty much all the games I played on it just work with no tinkering necessary. I played it more than my PS5 too.
The reason why people like fossils still use gorilla glass instead of sapphire is something that a lot of people wouldn't know unless you've either had tons of sapphire watches or like myself worked in a watch store. Sapphire glass may be less prone to scratches as compared to its much lower and counterpart of Gorilla Glass however Sapphire is known to be more shatter prone then regular types of glass and quartz.. so though you may get an additional scratch or two with gorilla glass your chances of your screen actually cracking and breaking are less with gorilla glass than with sapphire. Also Sapphire is known to leave a glare and using these type of watches and bright light conditions does not work well with a glare as it's not a regular solid standard watch face the brightness and even the extra brightness abilities do not necessarily help all that great when it comes to Sapphire watches I know I also have an Apple Watch that is sapphire and I run into the same problems which is why I stopped using it and I went back to the gorilla glass options. Corning may not be the best but when it comes to SmartWatches I would still rather have Gorilla Glass than Sapphire if I was paying for a high end traditional watch like a Movado or a true Montblanc or a Piguet.. then I would choose Sapphire but I have to say my Movado connect 2.0 still looks beautiful after all this time even though there's almost no point they're using it anymore and that doesn't have Sapphire and there's not a scratch on it and I use it everywhere including work and at a desk and when I go out and when I'm gaming when I'm outside chopping wood and it hasn't had a scratch on it. Sapphire glass is not for every watch and I don't believe any Smartwatch merits Sapphire at least not from the lower end Brands like fossil and Scoggin even though Michael Kors is under their line I could see them using it as well as diesel because those are manhole covered watches as it is according to you LOL but they're choosing to not use Sapphire for a reason everybody thinks Sapphire has to be the way to go because of course Apple made it that way and it's like whenever Apple decides something that's the way that it has to go Apple did that because they know the price that you're going to have to pay when you crack that watch because you feel that it's glass is much standard and quality then Gorilla Glass so you're not going to take care of it as you would if it wasn't. Sapphire glass on a smartwatch was a business tactic to earn more money when it breaks. Take a look at how much it cost to replace a SmartWatch with a sapphire glass as opposed to replacing it with Gorilla Glass
I also picked up a MacBook Air M2 this year, and I absolutely love it. I'm so glad I held off on the M1 for a year and a half before the M2 came out. I didn't know laptops could still be this slick, useable and refined. You'd expect such a machne to either cost as much as a used Honda Civic, or have design compromises way more serious than a clunky display notch.
In europe that base M2 air is 1500€. Way overpriced for the performance. 90% of the people in my country (Romania) wouldn't even afford it (let aside want to spend the money for it). Apple's focusing too much on North America rn.
12:22 The Framework Chromebook is more about repair and sustainability rather than not having to carry around a dongle. That being said, 4 hours of battery life just doesn't cut it. My HP Chromebook x360 has around 14 hours of battery life.
I'd really like to see more smartwatch reviews from MrMobile, there's so much of innovation to be accounted for there. Thankfully, Michael seems to be getting on board with smartwatch stuff again lately. Hopefully we'll see more reviews of these wrist gadgets from him in 2023.
I went hard on smartwatch reviews for years, but when Wear OS stagnated it really put a damper on my efforts there. Thankfully they're picking up again!
@@TheMrMobile Thank you for replying, means a lot. I can't but agree, man. Wear OS 2 was indeed becoming a big mess, and it really needed a redesign. But now that the watches are back onto being a lot better functionally, even though a little bland on the design front in Wear OS 3, maybe we could get on again. I really enjoyed your smartwatch reviews, man. Please do keep 'em coming! Cheers! ❤️
About the steam deck and the playdate having no backlight on the buttons. I think that is a dumb criticism to have, a control is not a keyboard, you're supposed to look at the game and feel the buttons at all times. Great video though.
Maybe I'm just weak-sauce on my touch gaming, but the Steam Deck has so many buttons, some of which have zero tactility, and the dpad is in such a weird place that when I'm playing in a dark plane cabin I'm usually hunting for the buttons 🤷♂️
Mr. Mobile is the best! I bought the Galaxy Buds2 Pro a couple of months ago and I love them. The sound quality on the Buds2 Pro are so good and they are my.favorite piece of tech from 2022.
I love Google Assistant on my Smartwatch! the Kospet Optimus 2! A beautiful smartwatch with standard size exchangeable straps, a camera, and a flashlight!
We are at the stage where tech is evolving instead of being revolutionary, and I am all for it! Each iteration brings much need QoL to rushed and 1st gen products. What would be even better if the prices start coming down, but I don't hold much for that.
Pixel buds pro are seriously the perfect earbud for me. Multipoint, lots of touch input options WITH intuitive volume control, great battery life, decent sound and noise cancellation, Ive considered buying multiple pairs for when my current pair inevitably dies
The google Pixel Buds Pro's Noise Cancellation is fine however could be much better. Compared to my prior set which is the Sony WF-1000XM4 they are just not up to snuff.
Nice video, Michael. I miss the days where traditional HTC, Motorola, Nokia, LG, Blackberry, Palm, and others were kings and I could see you review/compare over on Pocketnow. I believe your review of the HTC One M8 actually swayed me to be choose it over the Galaxy S5. That was my first real smartphone as an adult.
Can't wait to tear open that Steam Deck I know my wife got me for Xmas! With that said, I'm shocked you went for the Quiet Comfort over the good ol' Sony XM lineup. I'm still rocking the XM4s but you'd be hard pressed to pry them from my cold dead hands lol.
You should check out BTD6 if you love tower defense games, on mobile and Steam. The objective of Bloons TD 6 is to prevent enemy balloons, referred to as "Bloons", from traversing a track and taking lives. The player achieves this by using a combination of monkey-based towers to pop the Bloons before they can escape. As a sequel to Bloons TD 5 and its generational spinoffs, Bloons TD 6 introduces 3D graphics, line-of-sight mechanics, additional Bloon types (specifically the Purple Bloon, the Fortified property, and the Big Airship of Doom), Heroes, 5th-tier upgrades, a third upgrade path, expanded cosmetics, and more.
Steam deck is an emulation power house and will play everything from today all the way back to when games began. You also get much better battery life if you play 2d or less power hungry games. I like to play triple A titles while plugged in and GameCube or PS2 library when traveling. I'd say it's limitless when it comes to versatility.
Appreciate all the hard work Michael. I trust you and the entire Mr Mobile Team have a relaxing Xmas / New Year's break. Perhaps a visit down under in 2023 could be on the cards to relax some more? No doubt you've all earned it, nothing more relaxing than a beer down on a Gold Coast beach in Queensland, Australia. At least you'd get a solid 16 hours or so to edit on your way back home to NY. Have a think about it, we'd love to have you down under mate. Whoever said running a YT channel is easy needs their head examined, seriously in a lot of ways I don't envy you with the hours that go into a show, particularly this one, it looks exhausting! On that note.... DON'T stay mobile my friend, you need a nap!
Awesome that the Deck made your list. Have you tried using a separate SD card to install Windows? I put it off for months, but finally grabbed a 512 card and threw Windows 11 on there and, I gotta say, the hoops were worth jumping through because it feels like the last of the caveats are kind of erased once you have the option to boot into pure Windows. It's annoying to have a library split across operating systems, of course, and I still default to SteamOS whenever the game supports it, but for me that's totally outweighed by the fact that I can now *actually* play all my games, including the Game Pass library and anything with more aggressive anti-cheat.
Fun fact. Technically there are only binaural headphones, since for stereo both ears need to be able to hear both sides, which is obviously not the case.
I wish fossil would show some love to their hybrid watches! To me, they're a better option than full-blown smart watches. You get significantly more battery life, and almost all the features of a smart watch. And they're somewhat thinner too.
hey man, just wanted to say the quality of your videos is above and beyond anything on this platform right now. really great stuff, great writing, great insights.
12:30 => you could just skip the expansion modules and carry the dongle, it would work fine ^_^ the battery life is weird though, chromeOS should be easily 7+ hours of usage
I'm back again: Did you ever do the Full Review of the Xperia 1 IV? I've just got one and found a glitch in TH-cam playbacks (yours and others) - wondered whether you found the same. Your warning on the 5 IV steered me away from a direct replacement of my 5 II, so some of us do pay attention! 😉

Appreciate all the hard work Michael. I trust you and the entire Mr Mobile Team have a relaxing Xmas / New Year's break. Perhaps a visit down under in 2023 could be on the cards to relax some more? No doubt you've all earned it, nothing more relaxing than a beer down on a Gold Coast beach in Queensland, Australia.
At least you'd get a solid 16 hours or so to edit on your way back home to NY. Have a think about it, we'd love to have you down under mate.
Whoever said running a YT channel is easy needs their head examined, seriously in a lot of ways I don't envy you with the hours that go into a show, particularly this one, it looks exhausting! On that note....
DON'T stay mobile my friend, you need a nap!
1:16 - it moves ! It moves ! Run !
The yellow chair in 0:47 is damn progressive
Awesome that the Deck made your list. Have you tried using a separate SD card to install Windows? I put it off for months, but finally grabbed a 512 card and threw Windows 11 on there and, I gotta say, the hoops were worth jumping through because it feels like the last of the caveats are kind of erased once you have the option to boot into pure Windows. It's annoying to have a library split across operating systems, of course, and I still default to SteamOS whenever the game supports it, but for me that's totally outweighed by the fact that I can now *actually* play all my games, including the Game Pass library and anything with more aggressive anti-cheat.
Fun fact. Technically there are only binaural headphones, since for stereo both ears need to be able to hear both sides, which is obviously not the case.
I wish fossil would show some love to their hybrid watches! To me, they're a better option than full-blown smart watches. You get significantly more battery life, and almost all the features of a smart watch. And they're somewhat thinner too.
When you complained about getting old and the hefty backpack I definitely felt that
please,please,please review the nreal air. I feel like you would love it especially considering your mobile lifestyle.
That 360 audio is trippy, enjoying on the buds pro2 👍
Fantastic wrap up for the year. This was a good length - not too long and kudos to your editor for the snappy pacing 🎉
Sir your videos are the best. It's best in the format. You give actual everyday use of products. Best asthethics!
The steam deck is definitely they device of the year for me, what an amazing machine
Hey my favourite tech-TH-camr!
Have you reviewed the Galaxy book 2 pro yet? And have you gotten hands on experience of the PSVR2?
The cans of bud dad joke was really funny 🤣 👌
You deserve more subs..
Great content, state of the art b-roll, top notch caliber review
hey man, just wanted to say the quality of your videos is above and beyond anything on this platform right now. really great stuff, great writing, great insights.
For some reason I thought the crank on PlayDate is how you give it power 😂
12:30 => you could just skip the expansion modules and carry the dongle, it would work fine ^_^
the battery life is weird though, chromeOS should be easily 7+ hours of usage
woah, that binaural recording is really impressive. glad it's getting so accessible.
I'm back again: Did you ever do the Full Review of the Xperia 1 IV? I've just got one and found a glitch in TH-cam playbacks (yours and others) - wondered whether you found the same. Your warning on the 5 IV steered me away from a direct replacement of my 5 II, so some of us do pay attention! 😉
I wish you reviewed the Nothing Phone(1). Would have loved to see your views on it.
