Which SMARTPHONES Do We Actually Use? 2022-23 YOUTUBER Edition ft. MKBHD, Linus Tech Tips + More

HUGE THANKS to everyone who took part! As always, not everyone could make it this year (understandably so, it's a busy time), let me know who else you'd like to see next year 👍🏽 What is your favourite 2022 Smartphone? 😎

Agree with Linus - annual smartphone upgrades are REALLY a thing of the past. Don't waste your money keeping up with these companies.

Zack, Linus, and Marques - their jobs and livelihoods depend on reviewing new devices and on the reliance on people buying new things year on year to keep interest in personal tech up. Props to them for staying true to themselves and stating that they themselves haven't felt the need to upgrade to this year's latest tech.

Linus is correct. Annual phone updates have been very abysmal for a while. I just upgraded from my Galaxy S10+ to the S22 Ultra and I do not see myself upgrading for another maybe 2-3 years. Love this phone. Also Casey's dilemma is sad af. I haven't texted anyone through an sms app on a while. It's all either FB Messenger, or Whatsapp. Honestly Europe is so much better since everyone uses Whatsapp and Japan too with Line.

THANK YOU CASEY for your honesty take. There truly is a sense of "what's everyone else using" and being stuck in an eco system that's not really letting people have the phone they may like better.

Love how jerry, Linus and Marquess didn't upgrade their phones for no reason

We need more people like Zack in this world. No show offs. Pure!

I like how everybody seemed very confident and comfortable with their decisions. Especially those using older models and haven’t upgraded.

Casey's honesty is great to see and also highlights the playbook Apple depends on to keep "competitive"

I like how Zack is still using the note 10 plus cause it does everything he needs it to do

I respect people like Zac (Jerryrigeverything) and Linus who don't change their phones every year just to get the often insignifiant extra features phone company add to their phones to entice people to 'upgrade' annually. If you have a working phone, especially if it's a flagship, that's still supported by its manufacturer, there's no need whatsoever to upgrade. That's why the current phones I carry are an iPhone 12 mini (daily driver) and a Samsung Note 10 (work/backup phone), and I'm perfectly happy with both!

4:50 watching the World Cup while recording…priorities😂

I use two - stayed with the iPhone 13 ProMax as I could not see any positive reasons to upgrade (eSIM? Ugh) and the OnePlus 10 Pro - really like this and it is my main driver.

Nice one JerryRig! Not everyone can afford to buy a new phone every year. And for me, ex-flagships are worth buying if we're on a tight budget. As long as the phone can deliver high performance, smoothness, no lag, and good software, yeah! It's a good deal.

I honestly didn't expect this many Zflip4's. Before this video I didn't consider that a 'normal' phone but now I am actually interested in trying it.

Mkbhd holding S21 Ultra is a classic! Like he would chose it over the new samsung flagships🤣 S21 Ultra user here

We need more people like Zack in this world

Who else knew Marques would be the S21 ultra coz he’s shown it a lot in his videos and coz its still solid rock

Finally after a decade we get a revision of the OG video! Let’s gooo!

The S21 Ultra in Phantom Silver is my choice. It is possibly the most beautiful phone I have come across. Unfortunately, I recently shattered the back and camera, which breaks my heart every time I pick it up. Now I'm considering upgrading to the S23 Ultra with a trade-in when it comes out or getting another S21 Ultra in Phantom Silver to save some money and keep rocking the insanely pretty Phantom Silver color.
