    TheUnlockr is more than just phone reviews to me-it's about exploring new destinations and diving into real-life adventures. Your choice of places, the brief history you share, and the genuine bloopers make your show truly human to me. If you ever branch out to reviewing cities and sharing your top coffee spots, I'd instantly hit that subscribe button. Safe journeys! But first, coffee!

      Agree. I have been saying the same thing! All these elements just make his phone review authentic, instead of just sitting in the studio and telling people the stats that really don't explain the whole experience! So that's TheUnlocker is my goAt of phone review very underrated guy

      And what i love about his video reviews, besides all the aesthetic shots of the phone, history lessons, and location ideas, its that he takes his time on each of his reviews. be it samsung, iphone or google. Unlike another reviewer who spends 25 mins on an iphone and then 5-9 mins on other android phones. 🙄

    Of all the review videos I've seen for the Google pixel 8, yours is more in depth and elaborate than others. I can't wait until I get mine in the mail. I am a person who does mobile videography semi-professional intermediate, and this would be a step up from the iPhone 6 S Plus I have that has a draining battery that cost $300 to replace. Eventually I'm going to get an iPhone 11 or above. So far I am enjoying your content. Keep it up! It's also nice that you are showcasing area businesses in your city.

    The perfect demonstration of how phone features don't take you on life adventures, you do. Phones are just a tool that tag along. Do we really need to pay 1500 euros for the 'best ever', 'unforeseen', 'incredible' little upgrades? Or are there some phones out there who will help us navigate just as fine for every day usage? Your day might turn out to be so great, you'll forget about your phone (ideally).
    P.S: I sold my new Apple Watch after only 3 months. I figured the sport activities I do are just as REAL without a gadget telling me I did it. Now I feel better while training. Oh, and a 100 euros Garmin could have easily done the same things the new AW did. With a cute app on top.

Pixel should be ashamed of themselves.

      It doesn't matter about being the creator of Android because Google delivering the best Android optimization still stays true, the "only" culprit is its Tensor SOC being fabbed by Samsung, this is literally the only thing that's causing battery to not be as good as Snapdragon equipped phones, nothing more nothing less.
      If Pixels had the SD8Gen2, hands down It would've been the longest lasting Android phone.

    Looking at the pixel 7 & 8 pictures+videos, I can clearly conclude that I won't be upgrading to Pixel 8. I mean it's a lil handy & have a few more AI features that will be dropped to Pixel 7 very soon.
    Good phone but not worth upgrading.

    just a minor correction.
    APS-C is a 1.5x crop to a Full frame. Micro 4/3rd is more of an accurate comparison when we try to compare for the centre crop as it is 2x crop of a full frame.
