[@ianrbuck]

I think Marques' sense of size is skewed. The iPhone 7 isn't small, it's pretty standard size. The iPhone SE is a small phone.

[@ianrbuck]

This video was about smartphones, so comparing them to flip phones doesn't make sense. It's also not just about flagship phones, so that's not a limitation. Also consider that the iPhone 7, with a 4.7" screen, has roughly the same footprint as most Android phones with 5.2" displays. So you hand someone an iPhone 7 and a Nexus 5X, and they feel like the same size.

[@troy5568]

Poor Sony, they don't get the recognition they should be having. They brought waterproofing, 4K video recording, dual front-facing stereo speakers, and 4K display on smartphones. They even were the 3rd fastest non-Google OEM to release Nougat on their smartphones, now 4 Xperia devices are running the official Nougat. How fast is that? LG only has 2 (V20 and G5), and so doesHuawei (Mate 9 and P9). Sony has it already on the X, X Performance, X Compact, and XZ, and they're even achieving to be the first non-Google company to release Android 7.1 update, competing with Samsung which will directly jump to 7.1 as the first official Nougat update for the S7 and S7 Edge. Next year, Sony will just become better than they ever did before, and their old golden glory days are going back along with Nokia as they unleash their very best and first ever Android smartphone. 2017 is such an exciting year for technology

[@israelt1764]

Hobibur Rahman u r low key right

[@israelt1764]

Hobibur Rahman 😭 i want my note 7 back

[@troy5568]

Best screen -Nope. AMOLEDs are always oversaturated and has yellowish tint on yellows, and it's still apparent on the S7 and S7 Edge. Basic Mode won't make it any better. Yes it improves, but not defeat the accuracy of the LCDs. The best LCD display on a smartphone right now is the XZ. That super bright, contrastic, deep black levels, clean and accurate whites, as well as the perfect resolution just makes it a no-brainer for Samsung's AMOLED. And this is based from using an S7 Edge and Xperia X in reality. I may say that even the budget XA has better display than the S7 Edge in terms of color accuracy Best battery -Not true. The S7 Edge battery (both Exynos and SnapDragon version) easily degrades within several months of use. Samsung didn't use a great long-lasting battery for their smartphones, and to me that's a huge deal breaker because I won't buy a flagship phone today and replace & buy a new one tomorrow. Top 3 camera -Yes it might be good, but it wasn't as good as I want it for a flagship. Low light performance is great, but daylight picture quality isn't that great. Without zooming, it looks great, until you zoom in and see the lack of detail. Others like the V20 and XZ take better quality daylight photos than the S7 Edge Best design -A subjective area. Although it looks stunning to me, I feel like it's too childish for people. To me, without any sort of fanboyism, the best looking phone for me is the Xperia XZ, and the Mi Mix as a runner up. If waterproofing and SD Card slot makes it the best designed phone, then why is nobody considering the XZ that also features the same thing? Even then, the XZ is more water resistant than the S7 Edge as actual real life test shows I don't intend to contradict your opinion, but I just wanted to share my experience and own judgement. You may disagree or agree with me in some key aspects, but at the end of the day, it's our own money which we are willing to spend on

I loaded it up with CM13 (14 is alright releasing nightlies), and this this will run circles around any moto g or whatever new 'budget' smart phones are. 1080p screen, 2gb of ram, quick charge 2.0, 3010mah battery, snapdragon 800, Cyanogen mod 6.0.1 marshmallow. S5s, G4s, iPhone 5s, they're all dirt cheap nowadays.

[@TaylorXIV]

Frankie Dingleberry right, I can buy a year old flagship for cheaper then his "budget" phone.

[@FrankieHiltz]

ktay95 Yeaup. I constantly see people selling their phones in our citie's facebook 'garage sale page'. People will be like "Galaxy S5, in otterbox, no scratches, original packaging etc 150$". While everyone's out looking at best buy and coming out with shitty Blu phones, or Huaweis they bought prepaid for 200$. It's like... Why? Seriously? .-.

[@BobeBryant93]

I got an LG V10 slightly used for $230 USD and it's incredible! I'm not usually a big phone person, but the V10 is just so good and the 4k videos it takes are beautiful. Not to mention removable battery and microSD card slot

[@FrankieHiltz]

Michael Tucker Damn, that's an awesome deal D: Yea I hear the V10/20s have such great cameras for video.

[@citroonlemon5987]

You might be right, however you fail to realise the snapdragon 800 is beaten by even the low end cheapsets these days. Also it doesn't support quick charge 2.0, a great budget phone in the really low budgets would be a xiaomi note 3 or the note 4 prime :)

[@jaydendickson]

how do feel when i say i watch your videos at 144p.

[@CRV-dy1bz]

VibeCentral | Amazing Deep and Tropical House! ha ha....well said brother!! mkbhd has always a thing for the nexus

[@joshmayne2853]

whichever one paid him the most to advertise their shit won. also google is the "best" on a google video site. imagine that

[@Noble_Isaac]

He gave that award to the 6P last year too. I dont trust him any more.

[@ericwalker2434]

I figured Samsung fanboys would be salty after this video, but they don't seem to upset My top 5 is: 1. iPhone 7( for speed, waterproofing, stereo speakers, jet black looks cool, the plus models telephoto lens) 2.Google Pixel (camera, battery life, software) 3. Galaxy s7 (waterproofing, pretty build, SD card slot) 4. HTC 10 (Software (it already has nougat), build quality and design, overall underrated phone) 5. OnePlus 3t (charging, power (fastest Android phone), value) Personally, I like the Google Pixel the best though because I prefer Android over iOS.

[@PTYC933]

My list would be;- 1.S7, waterproof, Samsung pay promotions/loop pay, price 2.HTC 10, great audio on the 3.5mm, nougat, price, google photos as default. 3.iPhone 7, cheaper than pixel, the 128gb is the same price as the 32gb in my country. Speed, battery life, updates, apple pay integration into more apps. 4.One plus 3T, speed, price. no warranty here 5.P9, price, 2 year warranty. 6.Pixel, updates, speed, battery. no warranty here I'm still biased for iOS for some delight and hand off to my laptop is awesome. Airdroid is cool but still no hand off.

[@nxmxss]

I'm an S7 user and I'm not upset ... but I'm happy because it it the best looking phone which it really is.

[@ggsupreme5831]

Wdym for speed? The Iphone is slower than the pixel and Oneplus2t

[@nxmxss]

GG Supreme it plays all games at 60fps at great graphics. No android phone can do this.

[@billbuffett2092]

iPhone 7 is the best

[@woodstreet8214]

Mkbhd why no Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge to best battery ? It holdes up for over 6h for me !

[@mikipav1064]

Wood Street I'm sorry but this is not true. i have the s7 edge and at the beginning the battery lasted for 2 days but very soon the battery life got drastically shorter and now it barley makes it through the day. mkbhd seems to feel the same way and that's why he didn't say anything positive about the battery.

[@cosmosestas371]

Lol you are for sure a featherweight user.

[@legomonkey1712]

Wood Street It has a big battery but its not very battery efficient, a complete flip of the iphone

[@likethatsd]

[@ota024]

I'm not disappointed. You were honest . My top 5 : 1. Samsung Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge/ S7 Active . 2. Google Pixel / Pixel XL . 3. Apple iPhone 7 / 7 Plus . 4. OnePlus 3 / 3T. 5. Microsoft Lumia 950 XL [From WP10].

[@user-cn6kc7jq4i]

don't lie, both you and Marcus were paid to include the shitphone 7/7+

[@BuildMineSurvive]

"Budget" "$450" MKBHD your idea of budget is so far from the vast majority of people.

[@BuildMineSurvive]

there are tons of phones less then that. you can get an unlocked smartphone from $40 all the way to $900.

[@juan120535]

BuildMineSurvive The phones he shows are premium budget phones. So phones with lots of features and some flagship things for cheap.

[@DimitrisDr3am]

amen to that. The 400$ range is great, that is where my phoe is at (moto z play). But a "budget phone" should top out at $200 max. Imo the zmax pro (which can be had anywhere from $40-$180 is the real "budget winner". I grabbed one for my daughter for xmas and am amazed at the phone I got for $99.

[@jetman1895]

BuildMineSurvive low budget is around 250 and below right? 450 is mid range for me

[@soumya9734]

one plus 3 is budget??

[@Karoly1000]

You forget the iPhone SE for compact smartphones !

[@jacksonnovick1733]

You are seriously one of the best technology reviewers on KZbin. I love how you always judge a product impartially, by exactly what it offers, and what it doesn't. Also love that in a time when people critique smartphones for what they DON'T do, you always first examine them by what they CAN do. You show just how much the smartphone, and indeed the mobile landscape is constantly evolving and increasing its potential, and I also come away from all of your videos with the best sense of user experience with the devices that you review. A new MKBHD video is always a bright spot in my day. Keep up the amazing work.

[@joemacdougall9205]

Just got a OnePlus 3T and it's really good.

[@djbackspin911]

yea I'm thinking about getting it

[@dan_yalz1236]

Joe Macdougall is it good thinking of getting one

[@joemacdougall9205]

dan_yalz 123 It is really good. Best value for money you can get as well. It's currently one of the fastest phones out there due to the Snapdragon 821 and 6GB of DDR4 RAM.

[@cagnazzo82]

Considering buying one myself early next month.

[@fennec7906]

Have you noticed any screen latency issues? Any issues with bluetooth or wifi? Anything you can add regarding annoyances? I'm considering the 3T or Pixel, but Pixel has so many issues I don't think I'll go for it, and how MKBHD can recommend it with all these issues I have no idea.

[@ctrlaltclay]

I'd definitely give the MVP to the OnePlus 3/3T

[@fenjal8780]

Chad Lynch yep.

[@cyrene03]

yas

[@cagnazzo82]

Yep. There's something to be said about being affordable, and kicking flagship ass at the same time. It's even beating out the top phones in clocking tests.

[@drsnowmon]

MVP among budget phones yes definitely

[@cagnazzo82]

+drsnowmon: I feel also breaking the perception that a phone has to cost almost $1,000 in order to be 'decent' is also why it deserves an MVP nod.

[@applejuice-4706]

Google Killing NEXUS was the bust of the year for me! Anyone else?

[@chadnelson7761]

Agreed. Whenever I hear "Google Pixel" I get a weird feeling about it. Personally I have a galaxy S7, but I always loved the idea of Nexus :'(

NoName yeah no lens flare either like the pixel has

[@therealventures]

[@JattAnmoli]

[@ABDLLHSDDQI]

Usually these spots are taken by Xperia with a sub 5" screen but Sony downright SUCKED this year. Pixel just happened to be the the best phone that wasn't too big.... also, there isn't really a beter option than that for small screens.

[@christostrap5951]

For all the pixel lovers, other than software, what makes the pixel so good for you? I find the galaxy s7 edge better or equal to it at almost all departments.

[@jakobbaumann8298]

Takis Tr Software

[@TheVaseem14]

Takis Tr Hardware wise the Samsung is better however I can sacrifice that in order to get the smoothest software experience on any phone also including faster updates better camera and about equal display

[@christostrap5951]

Vaseem Bilgrami camera is almost the same, pixel may be better in some day shots due to HDR and galaxy s7 may be better in low light

[@TheVaseem14]

Takis Tr Camera is about the same, again, hardware wise the Samsung is better however in my opinion that is not a big deal, if you are not stupid with your phone waterproofing does not matter, if you utilize Google's unlimited photo storage and upload your music to google.play storage is not a problem and your phone is most likely going to be in a case anyway so I don't really care about the looks

[@ericwalker2434]

Takis Tr Overall the pixel is equal or a pinch better than the galaxy s7 in every category, so it's just the software that pushes me over, although the SD card slot and waterproofing of the s7 are tempting.

How dare you say the pixel camera is better than the s7!

[@randellhicks4924]

Mycatis42 It honestly is.

[@mycatis4257]

Randell Hicks I think the s7 has a nicer camera because the saturation is crazy on the s7 and f/1.7 aperature

[@randellhicks4924]

Mycatis42 The S7 definitely is better in lowlight. That I can agree with but I think the pixel takes better overall pictures especially in daylight.

[@mycatis4257]

Randell Hicks That is opinion and that's what you think. I think me and a larger amount of people like the s7 better but I don't know really, opinions suck XD

Mycatis42 You're but I believe people would feel the same way about the pixel but that's opinions for ya. You have a good one bud.

[@AMAStudios]

MVP has to be the S7 edge. Best Camera Best Design Best Display Best Features One of the best performance runner up would be the Pixel XL.

[@t.miller3104]

the only thing there that i agree with is the display

[@Regressum]

AMA It doesn't have the best camera though, and the features you say are best are very subjective. Most Android enthusiasts would rather have a stock experience than deal with Samsung bloatware. I think MKBHD made a good choice with the Pixel.

[@desaturated6049]

shut up fan boy. Just because u own one doesn't meant it the best.

AMA nope. Your wrong. Pixel wins in MVP.

[@spencerroose5195]

I love watching the change from your 2016-2017-2018 awards. Phones got WAY bigger. I remember in 2016 when iphones were just coming away from the 4 inch displays and we all thought they were awesome with their new 4.7 inch displays. The Galaxy still had that 5.1 inch display.. and 5.5 inch display phones felt huge! Now, in 2018 the smallest displays were around 5.5-5.8 inches and slightly above average sized phones like the Poco F1 or the iPhone XR have 6.1+ inch displays. It is crazy to remember the progression and see how far it has gone. I remember saying that the iPhone 7 plus had way too big of a display for me, and now my phones will never have a display that small again haha. Tech is always on the move!

[@chrisrodsa210]

Austin Wayne It really is but, The Axon 7's speakers, screen, SD card and Nougat on the way, makes it the best for me.

[@timioturo]

Chris Rodriguez lol. Theres Nougat on the OnePlus 3 right now.

[@chrisrodsa210]

It's just that. It's a "budget" device. It's close, but it doesn't match the Pixel. Spec sheets lie. The iPhone looks like it isn't the most powerful phone of its time, but thanks to optimization, it arguably is. That's why you can have a phone built by a lesser known company have good specs on paper, but the optimization is definitely not there.

[@shelbysupersnake101]

General Razor El Gato buy a better phone and use it for more than a year then. it's the same for anything, you pay for what you get. if you work a job and can't afford $430 you either need to budget better or there's unfortunate circumstances that make purchases like that out of reach but that doesn't mean only rich people can afford a phone for that much.
