Excellent choices, just curios about these topics: 1) Fairphone 5 - Maybe a new category for next year: "Best sustainable and repairable phone of the year" 2) For best phone of the year maybe we can have a winner for each tear? Low - Medium and Flagship? 3) At the end of the presentation to talk about some phone statistics, similar like the ones we have for cars? For example: What was the best seller phone of 2023? Whats was the best seller iPhone and most popular iPhone color of 2023? What was the best seller Samsung phone for 2023? What was the most stolen phone of 2023? 4) Lastly, we should talk about the impact on the planet that all these phones have, I mean do we really need a new iPhone every year? Maybe Apple should produce an iPhone every other year, that will be better for the planet and the consumer. Thank you.

*1)... "Best sustainable [...} phone of the year"* Can't really be sure of sustainability many years in advance. We can just guess. So, not a good category. *1) ... "Best [...] repairable phone of the year"* A very-very niche topic (i.e. vast majority of the consumers don't really care for it) so better covered in a separate video. *2) For best phone of the year maybe we can have a winner for each tear? Low - Medium and Flagship?* He already did that in this video. Low: 10:05 Medium: 11:16 Flagship: 15:39 *3&4)* are best handled in separate videos.

@thelastmelon9446 5 ай бұрын

S23 Ultra should not have to share top -spot with the 15 pro max. It doesn't suffer the same from overheating, it's been proven to be more durable, its battery lasts longer and charges quicker, the camera is believed by many to be just as good if not better and you get more customisation options. And that's without mentioning the s-pen which power users like me love. 15 pro max is a great phone but it deserves a second place silver medal in my opinion.
