my only dream is to one day see a video on nothing hq and see a framed picture of their super official certificate from you in the background as an easter egg moment.
Just ordered a Xiaomi 14 12GB/512GB to replace my iPhone 15 Pro. It may seem a little odd to some however I’ve been waiting for a compact flagship that isn’t a compromised spec. The S24 would have been a good choice however I do not want another exynos. iPhone 15 Pro has issues with overheating, the Ceramic Shield marks super easy and iOS is very buggy. Also, the fact you cannot even change the vibrancy of the display is very frustrating. Also the major lens flare issues ruin most shots 💀 Props off to Xiaomi, let’s hope I don’t have the lens fogging issue
Glad that you didn't just say the plain boring S24 Ultra or iPhone 15 pro max. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is indeed one of the best phones out there and only perhaps a bit weak in the battery life area. Great video nevertheless!
One of the best British thing I've watched so far, resembling much of that insanely funny Diana Morgan. I found that the bloody curses and elaborated trash talking are deeply insulting but rather refreshing and pleasing to my ears at the same time. What kind of sorcery is this? and do you somehow related to her ? hahaha
@@smitjee To be honest, it is very compact, regarding design and size of phone compared to S24 ultra for example, it fits perfectly. Performance is insane (for gaming as well which I am not fan of), display is very bright and HyperOS offers a lot of features and it is very fluent and responsive (won't talk about camera that is insane). To add, I've used 11 Ultra as well.. and I can tell they speed up software updates by 5 times to be honest, nearly similar to Samsung phones.. which is very nice :). Hope it helps.
Chris you are brilliant! I'm laughing like a drain! Loved the home-made certificates, superb. Well done mate, you must be exhausted making all these vids. Every phone I buy is because of you. Thanks man. BTW I love Macro Lens's on my phones, use them all the time, mostly for seeing tics on my kids, don't be too hard on them dude! All the best Chris - YOU ROCK!
@@alwayslearning8792I want to get one too but saw lots of green line issue with samsung. I saw one 2 months old s24u with green line. Im so scared to buy a new phone.
A Fine round up good Uncle Spurt! Didn't you do a guide to chipsets a little while ago? It would be handy to know what the league table of current types is. 👍🥃🥃
Ta! I covered the new SD 8 Gen 3 and Dimensity 9300 when they launched last year but haven't done a chipset head-to-head, unless I did and I just forgot 😅
@@TechSpurt Cheers! A lot of it's gobbledygook, (stop giggling at the back!) but it does give you an idea as to whether that newly released phone is really just a warmed over version of last year's or not and how long it will be supported. 👍
I won't fork out for any phone unless I see you and Floss give it thumbs up. I do sometimes watch MB too for a tie-break but you guys are a non-negotiable requirement for me!
Great to see the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is a favourite! Will you do a long term review of it? I have the weird feeling the battery might not have longevity due to to the ultra fast charging speeds. Overall I'm really happy with mine, it was on a promotion from Xiaomi UK at £850 🎉
As a techie getting older and eyesight breaking, screen quality and value are my two number ones. Just got a Poco F6 pro and it's fantastic. 2k screen makes a huge difference and UK price was just over £300 with trade in junk phone. Can't get better for the price. Surprised 'display' isn't on the list. Also bought an F6 which feels cheap by comparison and my old F3 screen seems better.
Thanks uncle spurt for validating my complete splurge on self indulgence on purchasing the 14 ultra. TSW not the reason I bought it, but being a fan of both nice to have you validate my impulse purchase considering my last flagship was the galaxy s9!!!
Honestly the Redmi Buds 5 are not worth the money. They are in practice almost identical to the Redmi Buds 4 except for the Form Factor. They Redmi Buds 5 Pro are so much better it is a completely different league compared to the normal 5.
You are the most unbias, real tech reviewer. You dont base on brands name, but on actual specs and user experience. Most of the mainstream tech reviewers are just all the same saying the same phone. Keep it up Tech Spurt 😎
Still waiting to see your opinion on Sony 10 VI before I decide to go ahead and just buy damn Pixel 8a as you often mention it in your "Best of" videos... Cheers and tnx for always fun and relatable reviews! 😁
Hey Chris 😀 How come you don't seem to review Realme phones, and any chance you could please? The Realme 12Pro + looks really great for the price ! Love the channel dude !
@@TechSpurt Their loss. Sod 'em then. 😁 Yep top draw reviews and fab delivery Chris. Keep doing what you do please. It must be quite a task but really appreciated by all I'm sure
I agree, but dicey if you're outside😢 China. I hoped you would say, "Best Camera... the Xiaomi 14 Ultra but it has depth of field issues though the camera has excellent image quality! However, it is not tough! That "Xiaomi Shield Glass" scratches really easily! I have NEVER had a scratch on any display till date and I have never used a screen guard! I'm a photographer and you know we know how to look after fragile glass coatings so it isn't MY fault. The thumb scroll area is toast and it's not even 2 months old. (Btw, it's £1000 here but the camera kit isn't available)
During my (unintended) prolonged stay in the UK in part due to Covid grounding, I watched a lot of Chris and Tech Spurt. When I unfortunately realized my Asus phone was fried due to a scheduled update download. Without Tech Spurt I think finding a phone would have been a challenge as so many choices are not supported "globally" in Canada. At that time I chose the Oppo find X3 Neo. Now in 2024 it's no longer supported, yet it's every bit the phone I purchased and value for the camera. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another or any phone which is not supported globally now I am aware that I can do update/downloads with VPN. For "humour" and technical expertise and insight Tech Spurt is still my go to tech adviser.👍👍👍 As an afterthought! Chris also introduced me to the Niagara Launcher! I've never looked back since I installed it on my new phone, wouldn't be without it and it surpasses any manufacturer interface on any phone I explore!.
The red magic 9 pro is the best gaming phone ive ever owned while the s23 ultra is the best phone in general I've ever used. The honor magic v2 Porsche edition rsr is incredible in design and I hope the z fold 6 variations deliver
But you know. There's So Few high street stores in England who's stocking most of them. ( Vodafone..02. 3. E E. Carphone warehouse?) It's Google.. Samsung.. iPhones . Hmmm)
The fact that everyone thinks that time has really fast forwarded itself or something is somewhat disturbing. I feel the same! Don't know what others think though.
Redmi note 13 pro+ vs poco f6 which one is better? Is the camera on note 13 pro+ that much better then the poco f6? Or it is just slightly better? I don't really game that much, i want a phone that is more balanced between camera and gaming.
Every phone looks the same. Compact phone - screen with holepunch. Gaming phone - screen with holepunch (what gamer wants part of the screen missing?). Folding phone which has a literal second screen that can be used for selfies with the main cam - HOLEPUNCH. In the rare occasion i need a selfie, i turn the phone around and press volume up. Someone needs to produce a phone without a selfie cam, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Or anything at all different and unique.
Hi spud, been looking for a new phone for a while but nothing ticks all my boxes -On a £300 budget (can stretch it a little if necessary) I'm just looking for something with - a good display, - good performance, - fast charging (preferably 65W+ but I'm not ruling out samsungs) - solid cameras (not flagship, but no noticeable issues and I don't care about portrait mode or selfies - I'd like good main and ultrawide cams, telephoto would be a bonus) - not a HyperOS phone (basically rules out 75% of my options, which is my problem) I wish we had access to all the Chinese phones in the UK, would actually give me some options
Why does no one give the oneplus 12 credit, i somd my s23 ultra to get the one plus 12 and im so happy i did, it has been a dream android experience, snappy, smooth, and never stutters with animations as close as you can get to the iphone fluidity. I think it deserves a lot more credit than jt gets. And its easy as hell to root i love it
Can your reccomed a phone with a 7inch screen currently have the Vivo X Note but having issues with notifications and completely destoyed the screen, no foldable.

You might have to because of the battery. Samsung doesn't make new ones after 2 years, so you will have to use old stock which are already degraded. Ask me how I know... 😒
