I feel a repairability criteria needs to be added. We know the fair phone will top it always.
pixel probably would be a runner up
No Fairphone?
Not available in the US
There is a whole world out there and most MKBHD viewers aren’t even from the US. Also, MKBHD reviews plenty of phones that aren’t available in the US like the zenfones.
Zenfones are available in the US. They’re just usually released later then the rest of the world
I didn’t see the video, but what were the categories? Anything the fair phone could win?
My understanding is that the phone uses decently old tech.
Categories are timestamped in the description
1:12 Best Big Smartphone
3:55 Best Compact Phone
5:56 Best Camera
8:50 The Value Award
11:05 Best Battery
13:07 The Design Award
15:14 Best Foldable Phone
18:25 Most Improved
20:34 Bust of the Year
22:02 MVP
Sorry if this looks weird I don’t know how to format correctly
Thanks! Would it legitimately qualify for any of these awards?
Maybe most improved?
Probably MVP, but it’s a US awards show. It won’t include EU exclusive phones obviously.
Maybe design award, he talks about how everything is the same but was impressed with the Magic V2 because of it’s thinness and how it manages to cram a larger battery than other foldables. While that’s impressive, I don’t really think it’s groundbreaking. I feel repairability should also be a consideration for design since most slabs and foldables look identical to each other and the Fairphone is miles ahead of everything else in that regard.
Don’t think so. MKBHD doesn’t really test repairability so that’s probably why it isn’t a category.
I didn’t see the video as well, but environnemental impact or repairability would have been the top choice.
Edit: best battery maybe, since you can replace it.
Let’s be honest, the only one it could win would be repairability and it’s really the only player, so…
Can someone just give a tl;dr?
I’ve run out of patience watching old mates videos when he waffles on and on.
The A54 wins the value award. Lmao.
Do you make your purchasing decisions based on these categories? Best camera, best battery etc.?
These categories need to be reworked.
Yes actually, aside from a headphone jack these are the main categories I would look out for.
I mean, they’re not bad starting points really to decide which phone to buy.
Do you make your purchasing decisions based on these categories? Best camera, best battery etc.?
No, but it’s not really the point of this video.
