Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Are last year’s flagships the way to go?”.
This video was brought to you by D, goo cloud storage, click. The link in the description to find out more flagship smartphones are pretty expensive right now, they’re up between fifty and a hundred percent over five years ago, and that’s a tough pill to swallow. That means those of you who have previously got used to buying flagships might now be looking at some of the brilliant mid ranges that have been releasing over the past little bit. Those that come to mind are the red, Nikkei 30, the iPhone se 2020, the pixel 3a and potentially the pixel for a coming soon. These phones come with mid-range Hardware, mid range, chipsets and stuff like that, but it usually more than the sum of their parts.
In terms of the overall user experience, but if you’re a bit old-fashioned – and you want some proper grunt in your device – there’s still a chance that you could still snag a brilliant phone for way less than the current crop of flagship handsets the catch well they’re. Using last year’s chipsets, I’m of course talking about last year’s flagships featuring the Snapdragon 855 and 855 plus chipsets since they’re just a year old. They still have loads of recent features like Ultra HD 4k 60fps video recording support for the X 55 G modem. Wi-Fi 6 support for quick charge for plus and lpddr4 X memory, and the power is still definitely there to you’d, be hard-pressed to find a game that you couldn’t run at high settings at 60fps with the Snapdragon, 855 plus and 855.
However, they tend to fall down a little bit in the GPU when it comes to rendering more than that, so ninety Hertz or 120 Hertz displays. However, a lot of the 855 and 855 plus phones don’t necessarily come with those features. That’S more of a latest generation kind of thing, and whilst the power is still there, the real benefit of the 855 is how much cheaper it is and was to implement versus the 865 stick around to find out our picks for the best Snapdragon, 855 n, 855. Plus based smartphones, after a message from today’s sponsor everyday computer users are juggling huge amounts of data these and with so many different storage options, it can be easy to lose track of your files with D goo, you get three terabytes of secured backup space in a Shareable format that’s easy to navigate from any device.
They are for more backup space than just about anyone in this space and instead of paying a monthly fee for the service, you get a lifetime of access for just one price. Three terabyte is just $ 69.99. After our discount, but they do have other offerings that range from two to ten terabytes get more details through the link below so which the best flagship from last year will. The first thing that comes to mind is straight up the 1 plus 7 Pro it’s got. A great 90 Hertz display a decent set of cameras, some tremendous specs and one of the best Android experiences that money can buy. You can pick one of these bad boys up for $ 4.99 on Amazon by the way all affiliate links to where you can buy these products will be in the video description.
Next up is a funky phone that flips the script when it came to selfie cameras. The Asus zenfone 6 can be had for silly money on eBay and, if that’s not your thing, Amazon still stocks them as well. For the money you get a great set of cameras, a huge 5,000 milliamp hour battery and a headphone port.
The Huawei, P 30 pro makes the less thanks to its inclusion of Google services. It was the company’s last device with such a feature, which makes it that much more desirable. On top of the wonderful Google Play Store, you get a truly excellent set of cameras.
A big bright, 1080p screen superb battery life and some unique colors. I had to include the real me x2 Pro because of its astonishing spec sheet, but also first brilliant pricing for around 500 euro. There are very few devices that come close to this sheer amount of phone that you get for your money unless, of course, you’re talking about the oneplus 70.
Now sure it was a pretty late release from last year, but all that really means is you’re. Getting newer and more powerful specs with a snapdragon 855 plus a full HD 90 Hertz display eight gigabytes of RAM 128 gigabytes of storage and a 3800 milliamp hour battery. There’S a lot to play with with this device a 70 will set you back about 500 USD, and I happen to think is one of the best phones. You can buy right now. Rounding out the list is the samsung galaxy s 10 series, I’m a sucker for small phones, and so the s10 II is my go-to, but even the regular as tank can be had for a smidge over 500 euro on Amazon and you get one heck of a Device for your money – I know, I know your favorite device didn’t make the list and that’s probably not because we didn’t like it but more because if I added most of this list, this video would be hours and hours long.
There were a lot of great phones released last year, phones that are still going to be fine throughout 2020 and 2021, don’t be blindsided by the crazy numbers and amazingly high prices of smartphones flagship smartphones in 2020, look back a year and get something that has some True value to it and that about rounds out today’s video. Thank you so much for watching. Please do let us know in the comments which phones, we missed and maybe argue your case, for which one should make the list. What should and oh, please do hit like and subscribe to never miss a video like this one.
