  1. Do consider sharing this message, so it reaches the people it needs to reach 👊
    Also First video with the new Camera! Who can tell the difference?

  2. I KNEW IT. companies know the most simple issue with the mentality. looking at the surface, not analysing, just "that's great" until you realise it is not because of 99 features you didn't heard of.

  3. "first impressions" are inferior to reviews, thus they are a huge waste of time;
    wait for a few weeks, is not like you're going to buy the phone on release day.

    "unboxing" is like watching someone else getting laid with that lady you wish.
    you want to UNBOX products, not watch someone else doing it in your stead.

  4. Thanx guys. None of this surprises me. New media causes companies to take a new approach to twisting things their way. Those of us who have been around the block a few times know this. One thing I learned (and have been a bit leery of) is the Launch review. When reviewers were told they couldn't turn on a device or show us something, I know the review couldn't really tell me anything. So, I've quit watching launch videos and just wait for the 'real' review video. Thanx again and you guys keep-up the good work.

  5. Would you guys get blacklisted from receiving the product early if you didn't make a first impressions video and directly went to a review after the 2nd embargo lift?

  6. I made a double beef burger while watching this with chips it had nothing to do with how companies are tricking and abusing thier power nope just a harmless comment about a burger

    U know the rules and so do
    If you do not give a pin or like So
    Im gonna give you up
    always gonna turn you down
    and dessert you

  7. Actually these kinds of activiies have been going for for many years in a number of industries, not just tech. Years ago a friend of mine said to wait 6 months before you buy anything new or download the latest new updates. I still follow that advice.

  8. Yeah this is why companies suck!
    They pay you to tell only good things about their profucts, but not cons and that is not honesty at all!

    I like honest reviewers that tell the full story!

    For example Flossy Carter a speaker reviewer he only tells good about the speakers, but not any cons.
    And that is actually deceiving!

    People then buy a porduct that migh actually suck, but they can't tell the cons, because they will not get paid anymore!
    So dumb!

    JBL speakers for example.
    Flossy Carter says they are exellent, but he doesn't tell the cons about them.

    JBL likes to lose bass at higher volumes.
    Highs and Mids become louder the louder you go past 70% volume.

    Not eveyone knows this, because reviewers don't tell this!

  9. I feel like if you get a free giveaway from companies, (i dont got emailed but i dont wanna get emailed for this), its like as in secret your being used for thier own purpose for productivity boost/positiveness.

  10. That mock trailer was expertly crafted, especially since I've seen most of the actual reviews they came from. Props to the editor for cementing exactly how opinions can not just be guided, but straight up misled with some simple editing tricks and restrictions. It's really important to use reviews as a supplementary opinion, but to think for yourself and do your own research and even personal testing in person.

  11. Could you maybe review more phones in the under 250 euro price range? I think that is the largest segment for purchases in eastern Europe and it is highly overlooked by top reviewers like yourself.

  12. These companies are petty little children they remind me of Kim Jong-un they only want the positive and the nerve of them to tell you what to do I would’ve told him to go to hell and I will see what I want to say

  13. This is the final battle of collaborations! Both of you working synergistically together to talk about the egregious behavior of cell phone companies and deceptive practices. We need more collaborations like this, most definitely! 🙏👍

  14. Thank you for your internet integrity…your interngrity. I very much appreciate honesty especially in an environment where anyone can pretend to be anyone.
