[@lolyeet4003]

You are honestly my favorite phone reviewer. I recently upgraded from my s10 (never got android 12 sadly) to an s22+, so i dont plan on getting any phone any time soon, but these videos are still very detailed, and fun to watch, and im sure it will help someone else out ❤

[@matthews-tech]

Thanks!

How much s22+ you buy

[@jcbuk2us]

Unfortunately, I can't justify losing the external storage. Loses future proofing

[@phillipragland7709]

I'm still rocking my NOTE 20 Ultra. I have the 512 gb version with a 1 tb micro SD card inside. It's just too hard for me to give that up. I hope Samsung will bring the micro SD card expansion back. As always, great video! Most youtubers do not cover older phones. There are some of us that do hold onto our phones longer than others. I personally do not think that any of the manufacturers are developing interesting smart phones. I see no need to upgrade my Note 20 ultra. I also have an iPhone 13 pro max with the 1 tb version. The iPhone 14 and 15 does not impress me. I see no need to upgrade my iPhone as well. Keep up the great work that you are doing with this channel. God bless you and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@Sabrihafdallah]

I have an s10 5G for 3 years now with no problems at all I've been thinking of getting a Note 20 ultra for the next couple of years. Do u think it's worth it man, esp the battery?

[@phillipragland7709]

@@Sabrihafdallah Yes, definitely!

[@Piquliar]

The S21 Ultra I got a few weeks ago is so damn good. Display is gorgeous, cameras are dope, performance is super snappy and the battery life feels so good coming from my LG G7 which is still kicking but the battery life has been pretty bad and the buttons are falling out lol. Still my go to for listening to music though with that sweet quad dac.

[@Monster_Hoax-Book_Mark]

Thanks for the review. As a note 10+ user its very relieving that my phone can still keep up with latest phones but the lack of software update sucks

[@KornyKornball]

I have the exact S21 FE you've got. Got that Lavender from ebay for $180 a couple of weeks ago.

[@matthews-tech]

Nice

I still have my Note 10 plus and just got my wife the iPhone 12...which she loves ❤️ good choices out there in the $300 ranges 🎉

[@gageabdul]

I've had the S21 FE (US version) since a little after it's launch date, and I'm happy with it still. It's still snappy, the battery life is decent and the camera does what I need quite well.

[@Xkikax6]

I got a base model S21 for Christmas! I'm very happy with this phone no complaints.

[@peterlee6304]

Warning for LG phones, I used to have a v35, which i loved, and would've updated to v60, but LG phones have issues with signal/reception due to the bands that its supported by. It got pretty bad to the point that I wouldn't get reception at my house, so it was a 50/50 on whether I could send/receive calls. Issue went away when i changed to Samsung Phone. Since LG no longer makes phones, i hear this is becoming a more commonplace issue.

[@silvertonman77]

I’ve really liked my LG phones. Too bad the got out of the business. I ended up switching to iPhone. Mistake. Lol

[@JamesJonesTech]

I miss LG. Had many G series phones before having every V series except the V35 and V50. Tried to throw my sim into the V40 last night for old times sake but it’s locked to AT&T and I have TMobile now. Wish they’d gotten to make a V70 before they stopped making phones.

[@suicidenotebeats]

Its true. It's not worth to get LG as main device in 2023, good for use entertainment and gaming device use with WiFi

[@zachmasters7397]

I have the LG V60 and never had an issue with reception, I'm using it right now.

[@AshbringerOnyxia]

Nubia Z50 with Snapdragon 8G2 was discounted 375$.. Glad picked it up..

[@jawadfarooqui4279]

Got an s21ultra recently. Absolutely love it but kinda sad whenever I have to upgrade I won't get this curved form factor again

[@Mr_Ja3]

I bought my S21 Ultra brand new/Pre-Order, probably my fave cell I've ever owned. I still use it as my secondary cell even though Imhave my Pixel 8 Pro! (Also Pre-Ordered)

[@thewolfieboie]

you should've included motorola edge plus 2020 as well, a super value for money phone after v60.

[@hienho15]

Really most phones from 3 or 4 years ago are still good to great. Camera quality is very unnoticeable. For basic everyday task most of them are the same. If buying these "older" flagship, just make sure the battery is new or almost new. Also make sure the cell antennas are compatible with the cellular band for 5g and ultrawide 5g. I don't want a phone that can't run the benefit of ultrawide 5g.

[@PJJNS2023]

I have the V50, should I get the V60 in 2024? Don't want samsung or other manufactures because they don't have headphone jack or sd card support 😢

[@waleedhalawani1076]

Is it safe to use older phones that don't get any security updates? Does Norton make them safe to use?

[@paulprince906]

I'm still rocking with my iPhone 12 pro max and Samsung Galaxy Note 20 ultra 5G...

[@shrekadina]

Note 10 is still Samsung's most beautiful phone imo.

[@benardndiritu5935]

My favourite channel of late.

[@kenic7019]

Im about to get an s21. Very excited to move on from my a50

[@ReinoldFZ]

I have a Samsung S20 FE, I needed another smartphone so I got a refurfished Note 10+. And wow! now it is my main phone and the S20 FE is the secondary one the experience is just better and the S20 FE is a good phone.

[@ChillydontCap]

Used to be old flagship was the better deal, but nowdays with longer software support and carrier deals i think midrange is best. For instance i just picked up a brand new S23 FE for $49 total. And I'd put its performance right up there with any phone you showcased. And its gonna have a much longer life than a V60 or S20 FE.

[@earlknightjr.1341]

@ChillydontCap: You're totally right in a way, because that phone just about, not to long ago came OFF OF THE "PRINTING PRESS"!!! My Goodness, why shouldn't the performance be GREAT!!! But, Matthew had a bevy of beautiful made phones, stylish wise and otherwise!!! If SAMSUNG WAS "FOR REAL" in its updates, with the S9'S thru The S22's and they really tweaked the cameras on those models ,to be even better, without all those other gimmicks they put in these updates, you couldn't get anyone to budge from those MODEL PHONES esp. WITH SD CARDS!!!! Not one!!! Esp.with the designs on the S21 ULTRA,S22PLUS,S22S20 ULTRA& NOTE 20 PLUS & the 21PLUS ETC,ETC.!!! Even the S9 plus is a beauty in black!!!!! And another phone that's really cool is the S10 EXYNOS!!! It takes wonderful pictures, WOW!!! If you can get it, 256&up!! Earl of ElBarrio,NYC,NY. 7:14pm

[@Rr-j4x]

note10plus and up are the most stable

[@thewolfieboie]

rocking a v60 here hehe ❤

[@J.Wick.]

I think unbeatable for the price right now is the ZFlip4. I know it has its drawbacks, but it has its strengths as well. I dunno anywhere else you can get an 8 Gen 1 for around $200. Flip 5 is down to 450-500 as well. Battery can be an issue sure, but still. Video idea hopefully. I just ordered one to mess with. Fold4s are 5-600 right now as well. Love my Fold4.

[@untraveled99]

really interesting video i love the idea, can you make a video for the best old flagship camera quality phone it would be interesting

[@kingzircon821]

I got an s22ultra base model. Still unsure if i made a good purchase

[@user-jgn1944]

Perhaps it's now time for One PLUS to follow suit with more updates on the one plus 8 pro. As I'm using NOW.

[@milos1534]

Would you buy S21 Ultra over Pixel 7? I'm asking for daily use for next 3/4 years and I'm not mobile gamer but I want for my phone to run smoothly and not stutter too much.

[@strong549]

Google pixel 7 pro is the best but how much price of it now

Excellent Review!!! You gave an honest to Goodness Review!!!! Really great!! And you better not part with any of them, because they all take great photos in their own right and they have SD CARD SUPPORT!! HOW GREAT IS THAT!!! Those S22's Exynos, are the BOMB!!! Plus they, are designed so good like the S21'S with an (ALL FUTURE DESIGN)!!! The NOTE 20 Ultra is a Great Designed phone too!!!w Even without the (refresh mode)!!! But so what!!! Those phones look so much better than any iphone!!! But even the Iphone Max should adopt the NOTE 20ULTRA'S LOOK!!! GREAT JOB, Matthew!!! Keep up the GOOD WORK!!!! We love the video!!!! 6/9/24

Is OnePlus 7 pro still good in 2023?

[@Kamikaze_Jacob]

Is the A54 worth it? I'm thinking of buying it, but I feel like there are better phones in the price range, but at the same time I can get it for 450$ (350$ with cashback) and it's included with the buds 2 for free.

If you going to play some games and start bit havy work and thing don't recommend at all. New exynos chip worst for gaming and hvy task. Normal casual media consumption and daily drive good.
