Bypass charging on smartphones should be mandatory it's an ultimate feature I love that on this smartphone

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

It's nuts to see on an inexpensive phone, but we REALLY need it on the crazy expensive powerhouse phones...

[@JustABotIg]

​@@SomeGadgetGuyNo joke I found this feature on my 22 Ultra today lol great vid btw

[@nicknorthcutt7680]

A $300 Phone gets you 100W charging with a charger in the box, A $1,300 phone from Apple gets you 30W charging and no charger in the box! It's just criminal how premium phones are sold here in the US...

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Techies keep shrugging off good competition here. There's too much money to be made telling Samsung and Apple owners they're nifty and clever.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Oh A TON of cheap moto and TCL and OP and Galaxy A get sold here in the USA. We just don't cover them as much as we should proportionally to the buyers of these phones. We ACT like everyone is walking around with $1000+ phones here, but that's REALLY not the case. Around 20% of the market is NOT samsung or apple, and samsung's 30% is definitely NOT exclusively Galaxy S.

[@andreypokesaround]

Let's not forget that often you have to use certain charging bricks too. Here's an example, my OnePlus 8 35w fast charging brick will charge much slower in comparison to my 30w brick that I bought from Google...

[@thodorostheofanous3911]

It's amazing how smooth of an experience one can have with "just" two A78 cores in a mid-range chip! Thanks for the review!

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

No joke. This is spot on price/performance/power for what all those reviewers are talking about when they say "average consumers". But all those average folk went and bought iPhone Pro Max I guess...

[@thodorostheofanous3911]

​@SomeGadgetGuy definitely agree! It can become quite misleading with all those reviews... I have first hand experience, as my phone has a Mediatek 7050 and it is perfectly fine for my use case.

[@NitinKataria-yj8gz]

Note 40 series is inspired from Zero 30, it was immensely successful in South Asia and Africa

[@BrianGlaze]

Juan really gave us a great overview of a device at 9am this morning and dropped the video the same day. Skillz

[@Kenshin1870]

Hi Juan, did you know where can i buy this brand? Or tecno?

[@human9458]

Hi, Juan. Love your vids as always! As for the notification bar. I think you can change it to the original android style in the settings? At least I can change it in my Xiaomi devices. Idk about other manufacturers though

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Dang. I'm really looking through here. I couldn't find a setting to swap it back...

[@raspas99]

So how is the battery? Compared to others

[@Ze_Egg]

Where can u buy it ?

[@bilalsardar260]

Juan, please review Tecno Camon.

[@pulverer]

You can't get a wide shot?

[@Gary0557]

This looks decent for a mid range device. Nothing spectacular, but an all round good egg.

[@marcustullius585]

How many years of OS & security updates will it have?

[@yaserhidayetzade8893]

3 year

[@DJKennyMan]

Another excellent witty video sir.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

😊

[@ebntheexplorer3903]

but this phone,the problem heating while in use

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

That phone on the left at 1:15 looks like a Nokia phone from 2018/19

[@idkanymore098]

can uou check if desktop mode works? most likely it won't because its android 14 but im just curious what happens

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

No video out support.

Drat, I am of course an evolved equine without opposable thumbs

I'm trying to figure out a good "horse ui" now. For those with only one big "digit" per limb...

[@justsomephguy]

Decent phone but no SD card slot 😞

[@SilvioBritto]

Reminds also some Vivo smartphones

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

YUP! Fun after test driving the V series...

[@ZeDarkLord]

Qi2 without Qi2, will a fruit call it Qi-ting?

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

I see what you did there 😁

[@davidburns8113]

I really wish I could get my family member off iOS inexpensive Android is so good for what they want and need now

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

In North America the Pixel A series was always my gateway drug, but even those are starting to get a bit pricey...

[@LaczPro]

That looks like a pretty good phone. Infinix is getting better and better a device at at time.

[@cooper1095]

dang, that colourful version looks familiar (in a good way)

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Right! Like I know I've seen SOMETHING like it before, but I JUST can't quite put my finger on it...

SPOT ON!

[@cooper1095]

[@davidburns8113]

Clearly they're using a xiaomi phone as inspiration

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

I dunno... Can't quite put my finger on it... It's a mystery...
