Slight correction: The figures used at the beginning should be Millions...not Billions, not sure what happened there 😂 To see the video I made about my favourite Smartphone Gadgets: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/hXuopJh6aJhzwKM.html

It's no surprise. Most people can't afford to spend a thousand bucks on a smartphone, that's ridiculous. I think sometimes reviewers get too immersed in that flagship world and forget about the phones most people actually use

Honestly speaking, not everyone can afford a thousand dollar smartphone and not everyone needs all the features or gimmicks on a phone. Some people just need a phone that can get through the day, do tasks, and not hurt their wallets. I commend/applaud UKpostsrs who review budget and mid-range phones because not everyone has the luxury to afford flagships.

The fact that 'flagships' don't have headphone jacks pisses me off.

The midrange version of everything is usually the bestseller...

Long story short: we are poor and we can’t always afford flagship. But midrange in the last years are better than ever.

So nobody's gonna talk about the fact that there's grass on the table? okay...

Linus: "A budget phone is $500." Arun: "A budget phone is just under $200." Me: "A budget phone is a $30 Tracfone ZTE stuck on an OS that hasn't received security updates since 2019." Also me: "I should probably upgrade to that $9/month Google phone."

Yeah, to me the headphone jack is as important as a camera or clock. I am definitely not buying a phone without a headphone jack any time soon.

The reason people don't buy the newest phones are because we have entered a tech plateau where now every advancement is much smaller in usefulness than the former exponential advancements made in the 00s and early 10s.

All those time I thought I was lazy turns out I was actually being efficient.

I just need a phone to do my everyday task with ease. I don't need a snapdragon 875 just to send E-mails or Surf the internet. And hence, Midrange is where our mind goes

Title should be: "Why mid-range phones has the highest sales?" I think its really simple: 1. Normal distribution curve. Rich people buy flagships, Middle income earners buy mid-range, there's more middle income earners. 2. Flagships increases in price disproportional to the % increase in wages.

I mean why should I spent 1000€ for a smartphone which doesn't have the features the majority of people want. On mid range smartphones I get a Headphone Jack, Dual Sim, SD card slot, decent cameras, often bigger batterys and an efficient chipset which has enough performance for everything and no useless curved display which is very hard to replace if it breaks.

"not a single one was a flag ship and this might be a bit of a surprise" yeah, what a surprise that almost no one in the planet buys a phone over 1000 dollars when most people arround the globe don´t even earn that amount in a month

my A10s: *Happy 2 gb ram voices*

I came across you're channel yesterday and i fell in love with it. I i'm so happy to have found a channel that does great reviews on my favorite smartphones brands but other amazing technology as well. Please keep it up this is amazing

Mid-range smartphones are becoming better and with styles of the smart phone designs

"Why mid-range smartphones are the new flagships." #1 *China*

Man the amount of research and work this guy put into his videos is mind boggling.Every video is filled with accurate information.Respect man.👍👍👍

6:39 that part of the video actually made me rethink life for a second because it actually makes a lot of sense

This dudes voice is sooo soothing

There's 1 more thing: Buying last year's flagships used, for almost half the price. ;-)

The A50 surprised me by house good it was. It felt like the sort of flagship I would have a few years ago. It looks and handles so well it really did feel like a flagship and the real flagship phones went above the clouds

woahh, i really like how you explain things !

64mp camera photo size +25Mb Social media : compress it to 500kb 64 mp camera: am I joke to u?

I just love your voice, it's so beautiful and soothing!!!

you're so good at giving him the right information that i continue whatching your videos long after i bot my thone! keep up the good warck

2007 Phone Cost $500 Too Expensive. 2019 Phone cost $500 cheap and Midrange.

One valid point missed here is that the rate at which last years flagship drop costs people are fine waiting to go with one gen down flagships. Getting a quality product at a mid-range price. I bought the LG G7 way past its prime at less than 1/2 the cost. Works better than mid-range phones at a similar if not cheaper cost.

Really great video. In the past few years the advancements are merely curved screens, foldable phones, motorized popup cameras, in-display fingerprint readers, increasingly faster charging, wireless charging, higher resolution cameras, and obviously faster processors. Some aesthetic trends have also come about, like glass backs and funky color gradients on the back. Maybe there's more but these are the major ones. Thing is though, most of these things aren't absolute necessities and most folks just want to watch a video or check their socials, as this video states. So apart from the glamor of flagships, most folks will be perfectly happy with a mid-range along with the satisfaction that they got a terrific deal for the money. Most don't need super blazing speeds either and mid-range processors are very fast already. Phones are fast becoming like PCs. The only thing that will help it keep selling is because phones are often in your hands or pockets so there's a greater tendency to damage them, making it necessary to get a new one. Not so much with PCs that just sit on your desk and are less subject to mishaps. I came from an S9+ to a Redmi Note 8 Pro and I just love how the Redmi doesn't have that irritating curved screen and delivers very near the performance of the S9+ which was $1200 at the time of purchase, while the Redmi was just $210 after promo codes, direct from Xiaomi. As time goes on and the tech stagnates it'll be a competition based on pricing, which is already happening now. And for us that can't be a bad thing.

can i just say, whenever i click onto your videos from another creator, the audio is the first thing i notice, and its clarity and depth. well done. I'm in the market for a used phone, if you have any available? budget of £200/£300 - preferably an iPhone, but open to a reliable android. big screen , trusted camera, fingerprint unlock/face unlock and good speakers. big love

I'm a user who just changed from a Galaxy S8 to a Xiaomi MI 9T Pro. The math is simple. Why should I pay 2x the money for the same hardware? It's just nonsense, that people pay a thousand dollar for a device ,that you throw out at least after 2 years. Plus nowadays midrangers can be 2 -3 times powerful than a 2 years old flagship. An average user won't see the difference between a midrange and a flagship.

To the people here after 20 years... How's ya $1000 mid-range smartphone doing?

You are the phone guy I go to for everything I need to know about phones these days. Love your videos and thankyou for keeping me up to day where phones are going these days

I really like your line graph presentation and the emphasis on the gap in between the line

It's not really a surprise, since not everyone has the money to buy $1000 phones... But you can save up money to buy mid-range affordable smartphones.

Cheap phones are getting better. No. Good phones are getting cheaper.

Thank you! This video changed my mind

In this video Arun explains things in a bag t complicated way for some people and it makes me really glad and proud when I remember how good he explains today with better scripting and more attention to audio. These videis sure were and still are interesting tho. Just wanted to say that this channel did evilve alot my G.

Omg his voice! I love people that can articulate word well. It’s so soothing to listen to. Plus he made really good points, especially about the psychology one.

I've been debating getting a Mid-range phone. This video confirmed my reasons

Man you're probably the youtuber i respect the most. you're always objective and have a deep understanding of what you're presenting to us. a real quality content channel. cheers :)

LOL you posted this ahead of the mid-range phone battle going on right now lol ...impressive! I'm subbing

I liked that grass turf feel to this video!👌👌 Arun is wearing green tshirt..everything’s looking green. Green lighting background..

That was the smoothest transition into a sponsorship add ever

Arun is awesome just a 5to 10 sec mention of the sponsor and the rest of the promotion at the very end If only more people did that

I also would love to see more mid-range smartphone reviews :)

Since im an ios user,I usually try to buy the last years flagship.Recently i bought the XS for less than 600€,it’s brand new and i think i found a great deal tbh

Wonderful video! I found this phone-chat to be intellectually stimulating, as well as practical. Thanks for this.

nevertheless, i always love the way you presenting things... Good Job man !

I moved up to galaxy A50 and I'm very happy. Mid priced smart phones are the sweet spot for buyers like me. Great performance and features for less money 💰 wins every time. The Japanese car companies did that during the 1970's and forced American car companies to up their game to be competitive. Competition works.

When the budget smartphone he gives an example of is better than your phone

I cannot get enough of the Nottingham background shots. Love the nostalgia.

Augmented reality and haptic controls are exciting tech that I would like to see widely available on the market in the future.

Honestly, you just became my favorite channel. I'm a mid ranger.....moved up from the low end budget phone....had a flagship and decided mid range is where I need to be....and you just explained why.

The only reason why I buy flagships its because I like to have what's best at the time that's why I choose Samsung's. But I always wait for a price drop. I ended up getting my note 10 plus on black Friday for 500 bucks

Galaxy S and iPhones would eve eventually be a loui Vuitton of smartphones. It wont mesn they are the best, but just a symbol of having money or like owning a BMW or Audi when a Toyota would work just as finecostong less.

Man I love your videos...you are so smart...I learn about other things too not just about phones 🙏🏽

Everything that Arun has mentioned in this video were the deciding factors that I've considered when I bought my phone. Very informative video. Thanks Arun👍

Like Marques said- "Cheap phones are getting good, good phones are getting expensive"

Love the explanation! "Professionals use professional equipment. They're not gonna replace these pro tools." sooo trueee

You answered most of questions why I ordered A71

Never knew my phone would be the best selling phones when it was 2019 wow (i have galaxy a10)

Thank you for the video. It is very helpful and It made me realize that it's not all about flagships.

Thanks for not shoving a sponsor in my face at the beginning of the video I appreciate that =)

I truly love ur videos. U make it entertaining and funny and on top u saved me money on my next up grade

The guys goes straight to the point and just reserve 3 seconds to ask for subscribers. Best UKpostsr ever

Lol I'm still using my one plus 3, 6gigs of ram, 64 gigs of storage, just recently replaced the battery so I'm getting over 6 hours of heavy usage, I'm actually fine with that I'm happy with it.

0:10 Crazy that the A10 and A50 are the two most viewed review videos on my channel, I never knew they were both the top two best sellers as well. Wow!

Starting to love watching this guy

with that being said, i hope you can feature more mid-range devices since many people wants to buy them :) not only that, we want to hear your impression on them coz your voice is soothing.. :D

How about a smaller footprint phone. 5.5" full screen, that does everything I need and costs under $400.

"Thats why the $50,000.00 Mac Pro exists" *WHAT*

Love the pop-up camera -- no punch hole obstructing my immersion!

Very well explained! You deserve an Honorary P.hd. degree, for your great research over the Smartphone Market Trends! It's curves & nomes!

Make videos on topics other than technology. I loved the risk aversion part.

Yep have to agree with especially what Xiaomi and Realme are doing right now 👍🏼

I have a Samsung m31 It has -6000 mah battery - 64 mp quad camera -sAMOLED screen - same processor as note ( exynos ) *AND ITS ONLY $230*

been using my a51 for about two weeks now, freakin love it

Amazing video.very informative.

13,400,000,000 =13.4 billion units Where the F* my A10 at?

Very informative video. Your contents are great.

Fantastic video and amazing insights

So is it just me who spends weeks researching what phone to buy.. I don't like just going for the mid range phone due to it being the easiest one to decide on. Maybe the majority are like that but not the people I know.

Here's a summary from what I understood of the video: Flagships are like the developer/experimental phones, whereas midrange phones are the stable versions.

The curved screen is the one feature I wouldn't miss in my p30 pro

This goes for computers, laptops, cars, just about any luxury item. Such a satisfying video.

You’re right, A sub would be amazing right about now, im thinking italian

I just love how midranged android now a days lots of option for a good price. They may be mid but you can do a decent task without breaking your savings.

Really interesting leaves me with a lot to think about.

4:02 this should be the optimal answer. "Why go flagships when all your job can be done at mid-ranges?"

As an early subscriber(from 2016) I do remember back in 2017 when you recommended the note 3 as a real budget phone, and compared the s7 to 2017 midrangers, however I'm not sure if that's still the case...I'm hoping that you would make a video about something like that again...it would be great if u did. Thanks.

Waiting for the realme x2 pro to be released in my country because it really feels like a flagship killer with the specs.

Switched from the Galaxy S9 to the Galaxy A52s a while back, couldn't be happier (I didn't even use some "high-end" features such as the heart rate monitor anyways) Plus it still has a headphone jack AND microSD slot

Now while your at it, could there be a review of the midrange Xcover Pro that too would be amazing.

Buying last years flagship is the best strategy for buying new phones.

Ah yes One of the reason are *china*

I'm watching this on my Galaxy A20s, and honestly, while I'm sad I couldn't upgrade from my Note 9 to the new Note 20, the only things I miss on this phone are wireless charging, camera and water resistance - my Note 9 spent the night under water, and I can't tell you the cold fear that clutched my heart when I was looking for it and phoning from another phone and saw the pool of water start flashing!
