LG wing is S tier for sure
I had the Essential PH-1 when Sprint was basically giving them away at 120 dollars. At that price, it was INCREDIBLE.
aquos should have gotten S tier. that's a damn pretty phone right there
i gotta get my hands on one
it would be really funny to have a tv show have the characters just use one of the lower tier phones as prop phones for an inside joke, lol
You need a higher tier than S for the Lumia 1020.
I’m still using the duo today. I love it.
I actually daily drive a surface duo. I haven't had any issues with since getting it (I bought it used). The back glass is fragile and so is the plastic next to the port, but otherwise it has been perfect.
LG wing is S tier
I don't mind an external dac if it's good. I have a huge class H power amp for my home soud system with a fiio btr5, the imput sounds almost as good as from my mixing table
Nokia 1020 deserve it better
The Duo should have been even lower somehow, a flagship, 4 digit phone without NFC killed it before the reviews did
A red its red 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I bought the hype and got a red hydrogen and get reminded about it every couple years.
If you ever repeat this, please include the Amazon Fire Phone, the only phone with five front cameras
Miss my PRIV, wich a new one
Blackberry Passport, one of the most cool looking phones i ever seen. Ubuntu Edge it’s cool too, unfortunately it doesn’t came to life
My first propee android was a Robin, loved that thing. First 2 years were okay but that thing was not built to last
Lg wing was the OG Bereal
Should have reviewed the galaxy zooms especially the first one that was a dope phone, so was the note 4
Sponsor segments in the middle always affects content, makes you think of advertising before the expectations from the thumbnail & title is reached.
Ph1 really felt like it could be the iPhone of Android, haven't felt that from another company since, the premium build, design, support, and limited no. of models was really interesting, not to mention the excellent name. Really odd win in branding and design followed by total failure.
Razer bought Nextbit
Putting the wing under a almost made me unsubscribe
Great video 😺
Really bad audio in this one
seeing LG wing in the intro while watching this on my LG wing is sad
I feel like I agree with everything, but I also just like the c phones more than the b ones, if that makes sense.
I like chins, i want my phone to have a chin. The Mi Mix 1 was the best phone ever and it has been downhill desighn-wise since then.
I agree with most rankings except the surface duo should be higher just for how sleek and futuristic feeling it was and the LG Wing being higher due to its innovation and potential use as an emulation machine. The software was always the biggest issue which is why we get such boring phones now, because that's what Android devs would gear the OS to naturally, it's the software limiting the creativity of the hardware and that sucks.
Ridge sucks. No proper way to store cash….
The Lumia is the easiest S rank …
aura is missing.
Lol I still use a surface pro duo as a tablet with a stylus. Its huge, has a stylus and has a terrible camera. that screams tablet to me. also I picked it up for $200 new off amazon. $200 for a quality tablet with cellular and stylus capability? done.
PS apple just announced the new IPad pro with a 5.1 mm form factor. unfolded the surface duo is still slimmer at 4.9mm. suck it apple your tablet is still thicker than an android. (don't at me I know the duo is way less powerful than the new M4 chip)
I actually had the Blackberry Priv for 7 consecutive years as my daily driver. I mainly switched to a newer phone because of the battery completely dying at some point and because of the remaining android 6.
But I always say: this was the absolute peak form-factor for a phone and if one day (preferable blackberry) some manufacturer is making a vertical sliding android phone with top-tier performance, you can surely count me as first guy who's gonna preorder it!
that family guy & subway surfer comco was no coincidence
