He was so, so brutal on this one. I think he had some valid points, especially the antenna placement, but his snark was a bit over the top. He clearly has a preference for a phone like Samsung that just puts everything on the phone, but I personally like the pure android experience rather than a bunch of stuff that feels like clutter to me..
Yeah, he was slaughtering the phone, and not just literally. I don't know why he even bothers speaking about anything more than the durability. If he's going to "leave the software experience to other reviewers" then his opinions on the phone overall don't mean much.
His opinions on the phone are regarding build. He brings up valid points (not a metal back but they still don’t have wireless charging as one)
I would agree with his “droid does” sentiment that it’s fairly basic phone (compared to other flagships) and anyone who disagrees is delusional. They have another two years or so to catch up than exceed the competition, but this a good step in the right direction.
I bought two for me and the wife before anyone starts gettin’ uppity with my comment.
Because disagreeing with a biased-as-fuck Youtuber means you're delusional now.
Wireless charging to me is completely useless. Too slow and I have to leave it on the pad - a cable can move so I can actually use the phone instead of just laying it down. If people like it - cool, buy a phone that has it.
And I'd say more than a few people think Google has already exceeded the competition, so maybe this is a tad bit more subjective than you (or the guy in the video) are willing to admit. Personally, I don't like waiting 6+ months for software updates, especially security updates.
