because you are being "protected" In honesty I just see the US EV market falling further and further behind. You best chance is that Geely reapply this platform to a Volvo called like the EX10 or maybe a Polestar...
Great review! I can't afford a new car but I'm excited to see cars like this one becoming available on the used car market in a couple of years. China is the new Japan for vehicle exports.
Absolutely. The Atto 3 interior is....ummmmhhhh...controversial to say the least. I was really impressed with the inclusion of features we normally only see on more expensive models. This is the power of these larger OEMs, they can trickle that tech down to lower-end models and keep it affordable.
Atto3 is the overall best selling car here in Nepal. Geely already have a dealership here. If they be able to bring it a bit cheaper than Atto3, they are going to sell well.
Such a great car for 'the people'. In the Netherlands, the government screams "Everything should be electric" blabla, but if China actually does make a vehicle for all of us middle-class folks, they put tariffs on those "affordable cars" and turn on the road taxes for electric cars again. Again: Only the wealthy people benefitted from the years of zero tax on EV's (They were the first adopters so they got helped out, because it would trigger all car manufacturers to make more electric vehicles. And it actually worked! And what does the government do next? After we paid all the taxes (the middle class) so the rich could buy the first EVs tax free and roadtax free, now Western governments don't allow competition. It was all just a green lie. This is their new way of capitalism: if we lose to the competition, we will make it impossible for our people to buy one from China. It was never for a better world or for all the people. The government today: "We will make the Chinese cars just as expensive as our cars and we will force them to buy Western cars." What about envirement? Suddenly not important anymore? What happened to all "We want zero emissions for our children!" blablabla UGH! I am so sick of all the lies. It clearly was never about helping people make the world more green. Because if the Geely Galaxy E5 would come on the Dutch market for 17.500 euro it would outsell everything. Wasn't that the dream? To go all-electric? To have a zero-emission state?
Coming to Malaysia as Proton eMAS 7, i wonder how much it will sell here... and will we have all the same features available in Malaysia without too much of a price difference...
@@Jadeyplanet1 i heard that malaysia local automakers target rm50k to 100k for their evs. imported evs have a minimum selling price of rm100k and above. if they can up their charging network, their ev industry will take off in no time at these prices. malaysia targets carbon neutrality by 2050. good luck.
Thank you so much for the review! So for us 5,7 or 5,8 feet tall guys it will feel like a larger SUV. Would you please let me know if it has adaptive cruise control? How is the foot rent? Is it carpet or does it actually have a nice platform (e.g. plastic, metal or other materials)? Thank you in advance. Btw...I live in Indonesia and its supposed to launch here, do you think for the rain season with floods the ground clearance is good enough?
I can't speak to the flood vs the ground clearance. Think you have to wait for it to launch in Indonesia and take a look yourself. It's a chinese "compact crossover," so it's larger than your European or US compact crossovers, since Chinese car segments tend to sit in between their European counterparts and the next size up. Plenty of interior space as well cos it's an EV so more interior space then a traditional ICE crossover of this size. Not sure what you mean by "foot rent"
@ChinaDriven thank you for your feedback. I appreciate that. The foot rest is where you put your foot on which is not using the brake or accelerator pedals.
Sat in one today, I actually came to see the E8 but that proved too small, and the seats are hard + low ceiling in the back and not a hatchback, no wonder sales are sluggish. The E5 is kind of too sensible, it feels big inside, driver seat and position are excellent, the rest is just plain old plain old, a little lackluster and almost outdated except when you consider the price tag. It has a real sunroof, not that cheap slab of glass introduced by Tesla and copied by everyone else, that cooks your head in subtropical climates. Geely's software interface is behind others like Xpeng however, and no English in China, so completely not an option for me, even with my Meizhu phone. Xpeng G6 might not offer English software here, but the AI understands English and responds to voice commands quite well, plus a lot of the menus are icon based, so I'll get that one.

I am curious about the pricing in Thailand. The BYD Atto 3 is very popular here and BYD already lowered the prices significantly. I am driving a BYD Dolphin. I very like it. It has very good quality, but I may need a little larger car. I don't like the current Atto 3. BYD has a very good network. We will see what Geely will doing.
So we don't know where the Galaxy E5 is going exactly. All we know is that Proton in Malaysia is apparently launching this as the Proton EMAS 7. Geely did say that the safety and build standards of the Galaxy E5 means it can legally enter into 89 different countries/markets. I'd say a good chance this come to Thailand, since they'll probably want to go to RHD markets. Especially after rumours of a Geely-Proton factory maybe in Thailand...
@@mohamadamin5870 I assume there will be some trim level readjustment. But since geely & proton are rumoured to be looking at thailand for a factory...i reckon they are more similar then different.

no prices yet for oversea markets. it only just launched in China. but expect higher prices abroad. here’s a picture that has the HUD. it’s not easy to film, and it’s pretty standard as far as HUDs go. m.baidu.com/sf/vsearch?pd=image_content&word=银河E5%20平视显示器&tn=vsearch&atn=mediacy&fr=tab&sa=vs_tab&imgtype=0&imgcontent=%7B"materialQuery"%3A""%2C"subjectJson"%3A%7B%7D%7D&imgpn=2&imgspn=0&mediacyKey=undefined&tt=1&di=46137345&pi=0&cs=737501799%2C975360128&bdtype=11&objurl=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.pcauto.com.cn%2Fimages%2Fttauto%2F2024%2F06%2F10%2F7378392896418710070%2F5d532fe6551b440f816328f9e0491788~noop.image.png%3Fx-expires%3D1720563194%26x-signature%3DXt07qVpuDjtK0Rx8psog8ehvzAE%253D&imgos=3772794945%2C2902722843&imgis=0%2C0&isRecFrClick=0
I have test driven this car and everything is excellent. The HUD looks very comfortable and clear, but it is only available in the top of the line version
I didn't check for a camp mode...or an always on mode. And as for if you'll fit laying down...probably best to go lie down in one a double check haha. But i'd say there's a reasonable chance you can fit.
No word yet as to where it is going. other than Malaysia. It is supposedly built to standard allowing it to enter 89 different markets. Australia would be a good bet though.
BYD has led many areas early in this lower price point. It also has a vehicle or in some cases multiple vehicles in each segment. The pure number of new energy vehicles they have at affordable prices is insane. I'd say one of BYD's greatest strengths is also partially a weakness. BYD has massive vertical integration, using its own companies to build nearly all the components it uses. But for example, when the Yuan Plus was launched BYD at that time didn't have its own HUD, so the Yuan Plus nor the Han EV (for example) at that time had no HUD. Once BYD produced its own HUD, then all of a sudden every BYD vehicle seemed to have a HUD. BYD is generally going upmarket. Starting from BYD main brand then producing more expensive brands with higher grade tech. For Geely although they've had cheaper new energy brands like Geometry (now defunct) and Geely Auto main brand (reduced NEVs under this brand in favour of pure NEV brands), Geely has had more expensive NEV, including pure EV brands for longer than BYD, Zeekr for example. So they have been able to trickle down from those higher brands.
There is no AWD version. And the no larger battery at this moment. It's made to it a price point in China. We'll have to see what they do with export models
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And people having variety in their tastes means that car design is not boring. If everyone liked the same thing everything would be identical.
It's a compact SUV. So it's not that little really. I know I refer to it several times as this "little SUV" Guess I've been driving too many full sized 3-row SUVs and 5+m long MPVs! This is basically Audi Q5 size. Which doesn't exist really in China as the domestically produced Audi Q5L is a bit bigger edit: also i'm pretty short...
@@ChinaDriven i am 170cm or 5ft 7 as well LOL in other videos, the car looks small, however in this video, i can make sense of the actual size. i have been wondering why they say its a C segment SUV, now i know why, its actually quite big.
Right on😁 Your videos are always high-quality, I wish we could get some of these cars in the USA, I would love to own a Nio ET5 Touring! You and Kyle Connor are my favorite EV reviewers
Thanks! It would be great if the USA actually allowed these EVs to compete there. It would kick the EV industry in the US up the butt to actually take things seriously! Kyle is a great reviewer.
@@ChinaDrivenWhoa! Are you sure? That is a lot heavier than the Atto 3 and heavier than a Model Y - which is a much bigger car. Where's that weight advantage with the batteries gone?
but if we look at they price is quite close to the jaecoo j7 that is also the premium suv c segmen that also good to have ,china is amazing they the only asia country that can make spuper modern car and not so expensive like europe car ,they tech also more about emision like ev phev and else
The battery sizes are almost identical so how does the E5 have more range? Also why are you quoting the Chinese ranges which bear absolutely zero relationship with reality. At the very least we should be quoting WLTP. I just think that this game of one-upmanship has more do to with marketing than anything in the real world. When you showed the shot accelerating off the line you could see the front wheels spin- a traction problem that plagues the Atto 3 as well.
Low rolling resistance tires coupled with 300+NM of torque will cause wheel spin for sure. It's common amongst many FWD EVs with this much torque. There isn't a WLTP range given. So can only quote the figures that are available. Rough conversion estimates between CLTC and WTLP don't really hold water. The CLTC is generally much more consistent than the older NEDC, although in some circumstances NEDC figures were closer to WTLP. But generally you'll see between 75-85% of the quoted CTLC, depending how you drive. Lots of highway and expressway the range will be lower. The problem with CTLC is that it has a stronger focus on urban driving, stop start traffic. Which in China makes sense. But for me, in my mind i just compare CTLC of Car A to CLTC of car B. Rather then using it as a real measurement of range. evdb.nz/wltp#:~:text=cycle%20(CLTC).-,CLTC%20vs.,phase%20that%20the%20WLTP%20has).
The E5 has a much better efficiency rating than the Atto 3. And as mentioned in the video the Geely AGEIS battery cells are more energy dense then the current BYD Blade batteries. These two things together make a difference.
Galaxy and Xpeng do not have the same market positioning, nor the same price point. Doesn't make sense to compare them. You wouldn't compare a Rolls Royce to a Ford.

Budget car , pleasant interior ish . But but , the outside is plain ugly dull and uninspiring. If it had been 2017 released model you sir might have had a better chance of wooing a few ladies with 2 to 3 small kids . The atto 3 is in its 3 rd year and like it or not has better exterior. Byd only have to tweek the byd atto bonnet , needs better sculpuring and even a pair of moody air duct grils to make it more meaty or agressive and sharpen the rear lights to clear lens also make bonnet and boot light bar a little wider . Byd atto need to get heated steering wheel , lumber support and a recliner on rear seats . Other tweaks would then be longer range and cut out 4 ways to do the same function ( overkill) while upgrading software . It would then keep its spot as a fast selling EV and the new galaxy wouldnt even be mentioned in the same breath.
You got an Atto 3? Look it moves like this. The Yuan plus is a few years old. And we all expect that there will be an update at some point. But I’m sorry to inform you, the interior quality of the Geely is superior. The exterior looks as i mentioned are a bit meh. But they are inoffensive. A second generation BYD Yuan plus with upgraded features is possible. BYD now have their own HUD and here own massage seats. But BYD might just try to make the Yuan Plus/Atto3 cheaper.
Driven plenty. It's just a typical FWD SUV. Nothing particularly to say about it other then, it drives like a FWD car. Maybe I could have added the word "typical" in there.
If you want more depth. It will understeer if pushed, not helped by low rolling resistance tires. The 320Nm will 100% result in wheel spin if you mash the throttle, again not helped by the tires. I simply meant it's what you would expect from a FWD SUV. Though I admit I could have gone into more depth. But really for this segment as I said not many care about the driving dynamics. It rides comfortably, and you aren't going to fall off the road going around a corner at a fair pace.
This is not a race car so the specs, interior space fits a family use nicely. That's what 90% of population needs. It has more than sufficient power for overtaking & hill climb. The ride height is good without worry of the bottom scaping road bumps or going over potholes unlike if you're driving a Tesla or BYD Seal.
Too much cheap talk on interriors and all that good looking garbage usually hides problems in the powertrain. How bad is the thermal management of the battery? How inneficient (in real world, not the bull announced specs) is the car when compared to a RWD Model Y?
great efficiency. you can read up about Geely new 11 in 1 drive unit. decreasing overall space components take up and increasing efficiency. you can also read up about their new LFP short blade battery “Aegis.” They have videos of its thermal runaway tests. Newsflash it’s LFP so thermal runaway isn’t much of an issue as with NMC batteries. Model Y claims somewhere from 4-5mi/kWh as far as I can find. Galaxy E5 claims 5.1-5.2mi/kWh As for the interior, it’s a good interior. since you spend your time there, you’d be surprised how many people think this is important.
@@muhamadhisyambahari3270 many petrol and diesel cars have radar for adaptive cruise control and milliwave radar and cameras for parking sensors. What additional sensors are you talking about? The ADAS camera is at the top of the windscreen. If you break that chances are the car has been written off since it’s crumpled completely past the A-pillar.
@@ChinaDriven pricing for that actually...in china yes it might be cheap but outside can china control the price, for sure can't. So if the accident front collision it needs to check impact to other parts such as main components battery n it happens to byd here in mlysia..
@@muhamadhisyambahari3270 but you said “for EVs” and I’m saying any modern car with adaptive cruise control, parking sensors and 360 cameras has the same sensors. It’s not right to say this is an EV problem. It’s not.

No word yet as to where it is going. other than Malaysia. It is supposedly built to standard allowing it to enter 89 different markets.
Australia would be a good bet though.
Yes. Already spotted testing there
Strange that BYD is the industry leader given other brands seem to get much more things right than them
BYD has led many areas early in this lower price point. It also has a vehicle or in some cases multiple vehicles in each segment. The pure number of new energy vehicles they have at affordable prices is insane.
I'd say one of BYD's greatest strengths is also partially a weakness. BYD has massive vertical integration, using its own companies to build nearly all the components it uses. But for example, when the Yuan Plus was launched BYD at that time didn't have its own HUD, so the Yuan Plus nor the Han EV (for example) at that time had no HUD. Once BYD produced its own HUD, then all of a sudden every BYD vehicle seemed to have a HUD.
BYD is generally going upmarket. Starting from BYD main brand then producing more expensive brands with higher grade tech. For Geely although they've had cheaper new energy brands like Geometry (now defunct) and Geely Auto main brand (reduced NEVs under this brand in favour of pure NEV brands), Geely has had more expensive NEV, including pure EV brands for longer than BYD, Zeekr for example. So they have been able to trickle down from those higher brands.
May I know real-world range in China condition?
ofc varies based on so many factors. driving style. speed. temperature. but general rule of thumb 70-80% if the CTLC range
Is there a AWD version with bigger battery? Maybe 80kwh…
There is no AWD version. And the no larger battery at this moment. It's made to it a price point in China. We'll have to see what they do with export models
Wonder if I fit in it with being 198 cm tall
look at me inside and add 28cm hahaha.
Numbers might favor the Galaxy; but the Yuan Plus is a way better looking car IMHO
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And people having variety in their tastes means that car design is not boring. If everyone liked the same thing everything would be identical.
This has to rebranded as Smart in Europe.
I don't think it would be rebranded as a smart unfortunately. Smart has taken a more premium price point
Perfect car… maybe more RANGE? But other than that it is a perfect family car !!! ❤❤
Nice car
Better in every department? Certainly not a better exterior style over the Atto3. Good review, you have another subscriber 😊
Thanks for the sub! some may prefer the Atto 3 exterior styling
it looks quite big in this video
It's a compact SUV. So it's not that little really. I know I refer to it several times as this "little SUV" Guess I've been driving too many full sized 3-row SUVs and 5+m long MPVs!
This is basically Audi Q5 size. Which doesn't exist really in China as the domestically produced Audi Q5L is a bit bigger
edit: also i'm pretty short...
@@ChinaDriven i am 170cm or 5ft 7 as well LOL in other videos, the car looks small, however in this video, i can make sense of the actual size. i have been wondering why they say its a C segment SUV, now i know why, its actually quite big.
Problem is in China this is classed as "B-segment" or "Compact" but it's right at the top of that class. 2.76m wheelbase is the top and this is 2.75m.
When I shoot videos I have the camera shoot straight on to try to give a more realistic perspective.
@@ChinaDriven ah i see
"or a very large pair of....boots?"😆
hahah…it is a big under storage space…but I’m still unsure what people need to carry there! HA!
Open to suggestions!
Right on😁 Your videos are always high-quality, I wish we could get some of these cars in the USA, I would love to own a Nio ET5 Touring! You and Kyle Connor are my favorite EV reviewers
Thanks! It would be great if the USA actually allowed these EVs to compete there. It would kick the EV industry in the US up the butt to actually take things seriously!
Kyle is a great reviewer.
Does it have a frunk?
@@mauricemcmahon536 it does not. Although there may be aftermarket accessories later to create one around the free space.
How heavy is It?
@@ChinaDriven 1615-1740K, 2028-2140kg for full load.
@@ChinaDrivenWhoa! Are you sure? That is a lot heavier than the Atto 3 and heavier than a Model Y - which is a much bigger car. Where's that weight advantage with the batteries gone?
@@mondotv4216No. I wrote the wrong number. That was Max load. It’s between 1616kg-1740kg
@@ChinaDriven Ah - makes more sense now.
but if we look at they price is quite close to the jaecoo j7 that is also the premium suv c segmen that also good to have ,china is amazing they the only asia country that can make spuper modern car and not so expensive like europe car ,they tech also more about emision like ev phev and else
BETTER DESIGN THAN BYD
The battery sizes are almost identical so how does the E5 have more range? Also why are you quoting the Chinese ranges which bear absolutely zero relationship with reality. At the very least we should be quoting WLTP. I just think that this game of one-upmanship has more do to with marketing than anything in the real world. When you showed the shot accelerating off the line you could see the front wheels spin- a traction problem that plagues the Atto 3 as well.
Low rolling resistance tires coupled with 300+NM of torque will cause wheel spin for sure. It's common amongst many FWD EVs with this much torque.
There isn't a WLTP range given. So can only quote the figures that are available. Rough conversion estimates between CLTC and WTLP don't really hold water. The CLTC is generally much more consistent than the older NEDC, although in some circumstances NEDC figures were closer to WTLP. But generally you'll see between 75-85% of the quoted CTLC, depending how you drive. Lots of highway and expressway the range will be lower.
The problem with CTLC is that it has a stronger focus on urban driving, stop start traffic. Which in China makes sense. But for me, in my mind i just compare CTLC of Car A to CLTC of car B. Rather then using it as a real measurement of range.
evdb.nz/wltp#:~:text=cycle%20(CLTC).-,CLTC%20vs.,phase%20that%20the%20WLTP%20has).
The E5 has a much better efficiency rating than the Atto 3. And as mentioned in the video the Geely AGEIS battery cells are more energy dense then the current BYD Blade batteries.
These two things together make a difference.
now samsung made an electric car ?
And does it overpasses Xpeng Motors in anyway? I am sure it will not as Xpeng Motors is far better than even Zeekr!
Galaxy and Xpeng do not have the same market positioning, nor the same price point. Doesn't make sense to compare them. You wouldn't compare a Rolls Royce to a Ford.
Samsung Galaxy E5!?!?!
I'm gonna use that loud moaning meme audio for the external speakers
Hahhha 90% comment dari Malaysian 🤣🤣, #JalurGemilang
GEELY MADE PROTON CARS BETTER NOWADAYS.
I'm confused... Is this car about 7 ft high or am I watching some Lord of The Rings special effects?
I'm not so tall, as I said in the video. But the perspective and where I'm standing around 5:48 in the video make the car look massive in comparison.
it will be the proton emas 7 not the gold but they name is mean eletrik for malaysia car and 7 is mean they is the 7 model in proton maybee la and the car is soo cheap 100 thousand ringgit
@@afizi1213 thanks to Najib.😅
@@brandonwoo8299 why ee should thanks to najib even they change malaysia policy from japan go to china even its better with that
@@afizi1213 why should Malaysia look at Japan? Japan is very much protected country that will not share technologies. Look at proton when with Mitsubishi. All the old model engine throw to proton for disposal. You want the country to work with a country that fight or enslaved your ancestors before. Lol
@@brandonwoo8299 we are ok with japan, beside after that they help use so much you know, bon samurai and else the good policy that ex pm Tun Mahathir use its good increase malaysia from see weateen that far to see easter that closed to southeast Asia like china korea and japan they are the mainly economy that can beat western economy, just cause china is good doesn't mean its good at politic, they also have agenda i like to remember la what china give is sometime that can fell you fell bad like quality.

Not for me yet as I do not want to get my house burn down which Chinese EVs are famous for.
@@Kcheng9 only if you believe lies.
I despise SUVs and the people who think they need them to reinforce their limited self esteem.
Budget car , pleasant interior ish . But but , the outside is plain ugly dull and uninspiring. If it had been 2017 released model you sir might have had a better chance of wooing a few ladies with 2 to 3 small kids . The atto 3 is in its 3 rd year and like it or not has better exterior. Byd only have to tweek the byd atto bonnet , needs better sculpuring and even a pair of moody air duct grils to make it more meaty or agressive and sharpen the rear lights to clear lens also make bonnet and boot light bar a little wider . Byd atto need to get heated steering wheel , lumber support and a recliner on rear seats . Other tweaks would then be longer range and cut out 4 ways to do the same function ( overkill) while upgrading software . It would then keep its spot as a fast selling EV and the new galaxy wouldnt even be mentioned in the same breath.
You got an Atto 3? Look it moves like this. The Yuan plus is a few years old. And we all expect that there will be an update at some point.
But I’m sorry to inform you, the interior quality of the Geely is superior. The exterior looks as i mentioned are a bit meh. But they are inoffensive.
A second generation BYD Yuan plus with upgraded features is possible. BYD now have their own HUD and here own massage seats. But BYD might just try to make the Yuan Plus/Atto3 cheaper.
‘It drives like any other front wheel drive.‘ Maybe try a few different FWD’s before you say such nonsense. 😅
Driven plenty. It's just a typical FWD SUV. Nothing particularly to say about it other then, it drives like a FWD car. Maybe I could have added the word "typical" in there.
If you want more depth. It will understeer if pushed, not helped by low rolling resistance tires. The 320Nm will 100% result in wheel spin if you mash the throttle, again not helped by the tires.
I simply meant it's what you would expect from a FWD SUV. Though I admit I could have gone into more depth. But really for this segment as I said not many care about the driving dynamics. It rides comfortably, and you aren't going to fall off the road going around a corner at a fair pace.
This is not a race car so the specs, interior space fits a family use nicely. That's what 90% of population needs. It has more than sufficient power for overtaking & hill climb. The ride height is good without worry of the bottom scaping road bumps or going over potholes unlike if you're driving a Tesla or BYD Seal.
BYD 10 kg more
5:52 they design remind me to the toyota harrier which is the luxury suv car from toyota d segmen but this is ev car c segmne
i thought this was a Samsung car
hahaahaha
its make you happy buy one me happy 2set MG 550 hp yes have one make me happy went bank first time in my life in long time happy spend my money
Too much cheap talk on interriors and all that good looking garbage usually hides problems in the powertrain. How bad is the thermal management of the battery? How inneficient (in real world, not the bull announced specs) is the car when compared to a RWD Model Y?
great efficiency. you can read up about Geely new 11 in 1 drive unit. decreasing overall space components take up and increasing efficiency.
you can also read up about their new LFP short blade battery “Aegis.” They have videos of its thermal runaway tests. Newsflash it’s LFP so thermal runaway isn’t much of an issue as with NMC batteries.
Model Y claims somewhere from 4-5mi/kWh as far as I can find. Galaxy E5 claims 5.1-5.2mi/kWh
As for the interior, it’s a good interior. since you spend your time there, you’d be surprised how many people think this is important.
When you compare it to the Model Y, have you considered how much it will cost?
First time watching a car review, huh?
Get model Y o lower down the price than talk.
You are not a good presenter of electric cars, you are not credible in your work in short pants.
Well since it was like 37c I'll stick with shorts. If that means my words are "less credible" to you so be it.

To replace part after accident for EV are very expensive...very expensive since the front facia lots of light n sensor
@@muhamadhisyambahari3270 many petrol and diesel cars have radar for adaptive cruise control and milliwave radar and cameras for parking sensors. What additional sensors are you talking about? The ADAS camera is at the top of the windscreen. If you break that chances are the car has been written off since it’s crumpled completely past the A-pillar.
@@ChinaDriven pricing for that actually...in china yes it might be cheap but outside can china control the price, for sure can't. So if the accident front collision it needs to check impact to other parts such as main components battery n it happens to byd here in mlysia..
@@muhamadhisyambahari3270 but you said “for EVs” and I’m saying any modern car with adaptive cruise control, parking sensors and 360 cameras has the same sensors. It’s not right to say this is an EV problem. It’s not.
@@muhamadhisyambahari3270 for battery damage if you are destroying the CTB pack in an accident you basically destroyed the chassis. So any car whose chassis is destroyed is screwed.
Nice to see you back after some time. The way you do the videos is really great! 👍😍
