The midrange has never looked more attractive. As someone who also bought flagships, I'm quite blown away with how capable the midrange is. For a third the price, my new Nord 4 is 95% what my old S23 Ultra was. I doubt I'll ever buy flagship models again.
Chinese brands like Xiaomi and Oppo are just better right now. Way more bang for your buck, software is great too nowadays. And real innovation! Samsung and Apple are sleeping. Samsung using the same crap camera's with a baffling amount of post processing which anahilates all your pictures. And Apple using their crappy ultra wide. There is a reason why the market share of Chinese brands is getting higher and higher
Remember back like 5 years ago when only phones under £200 like the Moto G9 Power and the Poco M3 could get to 6000mah, and there those were considered absolutely enormous!?
Maybe if the competitors had options that were actually competitive with the Samsung offering they'd have a wake-up call. Nobody wants to deal with the shitty Tensor chipset of a Pixel 9 or the shitty costumer support and OxygenOS of a OnePlus 13 or the annoying workarounds required to use a Xiaomi outside of Mainland China.
@ The workarounds for using a Chinese phone is because of US/EU sanctions. Do you know they can't even use the latest processor dimensions? They can develop their own tech that's faster than Qualcomms but still not sell it in US markets. Its just the gatekeeping that's keeping Apple and Samsung alive.
@@hc32313here in Europa you can get a Oppo or Xiaomi without a problem. Service centers are nearby and service is great. Also 5 years of software support. Dont get me started about the useless samsung 'customer service' Samsung is crap at customer service, never a samsung for me again!
I suggest Chris that you buy yourself Crag-Hoppers Kiwi Trousers. The leg pocket can easily accommodate two of even the biggest phones around, or a small tablet. Leaving SIX other pockets (for Booze, earbuds & vital daily supplies). My hands are the same size as yours, yet I manage both my phones (both in cases) without issues. Crag-Hoppers also sell shorts with the same massive pockets with FOUR zipped pockets (perfect for London).
Will the op7 and 7t pro design ever make it's way back? The full screen display is so addictive And also old camera processing, retaining Good details and not afraid of noise, unlike new phones and keeping the colours relatively intact
I’m really looking forward to your comments, on the new iPhone SE yes we! Ok me, value your opinion on that special piece of tech. If it ever happens cheers young man.
Hi Chris, with the sad passing yesterday of David Lynch, was he someone whose films you enjoyed watching? You need to up your hot dinner game. I suggest rustler burgers and oven chips washed down with elderflower cordial [checks notes]...or whiskey chasers.
I'm thinking of getting the Vivo X200 Pro. Is worth waiting a month or so for a better phone? I feel like its a great phone under $1000 US. Would love some Opinions.
Are there any upcoming reviews of any more clip on type earbuds? Saw your Soundcore C40i review and since then have seemingly seen every brand release their own take on this new style of earbud! Keep up the great work 💪👍
Android user here. Wife has been rocking various iphones for years now, what do u reckon, Chris, should I waste valuable time trying to convince her to switch to the righteous path or straight up divorce the old ball'n'chain? No pressure ;)
Hi uncle spurt, what's your favourite blower that you always go back to using? I see you review lots of phone and I best guess is that you get to keep them?
Maybe they need to make 2 versions. My issue is that size wise they are fine, they are just too thin and "crackable"! I bet they'd also sell plenty if they made voth a smaller version and a heftier, durable, thicker phone with the epitome of tech! Noone cares about mm in thickness if we have to get weaker shittier phones! I'd rather have 2x the abilities, camera, battery and durability, and even another extra chipset for the lolz!
Im still on the S20 FE 5g (snap) in EU. And I like the 6,5'' screen, still looking for a phone this size. I would even spend flagship money, but there is just nothing out there in EU.
@emka9537 how come you say that? Main reason im a bit unsure if I made the right call was because of the extra IP protection and glass protection level. Despite the less powerful hardware and camera
@Jahq00 i had two xiaomi phones both lasted a year when battery died, and started software bugs what they didnt fix. Had e scooter also battery died in two months , now iam dealing with xiaomi tv that are shit and buggy so yeah xiaomi shit company wanna Chinesephone buy honor or oneplus
@emka9537 Well honor aren't Chinese I don't think. but I see your point. I think I had a xiaomi phone 12+ years ago and it was okay. One thing I haven't had to deal with lots of with the honor is bloatware. To be honest, if this phone had better IP and glass protection as well as a flat screen as opposed to curved. I'd never want another phone again 😂
Your language is F***ING disgracefully, andddd we love it hahaha Mr whostheboss used to do really good phone videos but he's on this smart house kick ATM this is by far much better for phone lovers like myself 😂 now, as you would say, I'm going to spaff off!
So Mr uncle Spurt, compact phones for 2025......…..what's available & what do you think will be best? Xiaomi 15 (prob the best but I find messy) Scamsung S25 - shit camera & battery, good software support Pixel 9a/9pro - hate using these iPhone 17pro - been there, trying to get away Have I forgotten any?
I have really big hands and even I don't see the point of 6.7/6.9 inch displays, they're annoying. 6.2-6.5 should be the sweet spot for a big phone For me personally 5.5 is the perfect size, it's a phone, not a tablet, one hand use should be the primary concern
I know Android and ChormeBook Tablets are something of a minority interest. But some of us still like to use them. A bit more coverage this year please.
Uncle Spurt The phones You Mentioned Especially The Nothing phone 3 Will Come With More Software Updates. Due The EU Regulation That From The 20th Of June 2025 Onwards Including The Obligation To Make Operating System Updates available At No Cost For At Least 5 Years Tried To Get A Pixel 8 Pro For 600 Euros But The Store Ran Out So Im Waiting For This Years Phones To See What I Can Get
Why can't there be a phone produced with both the choice of additional memory and 3.5 audio port and UDC as I don't need to take photos of my ugly mug???
Atleast uncle spurt is banging on about all the upcoming smartphones unlike those Americans that bang on about that apple brick and Samsung croch cracking phone
How do Uncle Spurt. I wonder if your Aldi Sprits Aisle brain could riddle a prediction on a release for an updated RAZR. I've been havering about swapping my tired Pixel 7 Pro out for one as a daily.

May all your shits in 2025 be as smooth as your head.
I'm stealing that! 😂
Not overly arsed about phones I’m here solely for the laughs. You sir, make RUclips a better place 😃
Remember when tablets were 7 inches?
I remember when they were £15 for one or 2 for £20.
So you're telling me, most of the Flagships are the exact same phone only slightly faster and with cameras mixed up?
Imagine my surprise!
That's the current state of play. Manufacturers trying to make out that AI is a massive step forward, but it clearly ain't .
Other than the new battery and the new Elite chipset.... Its mostly software upgrade
The midrange has never looked more attractive. As someone who also bought flagships, I'm quite blown away with how capable the midrange is. For a third the price, my new Nord 4 is 95% what my old S23 Ultra was. I doubt I'll ever buy flagship models again.
Phones in 2024 and 2025 are using huge silicon carbon batteries more widely. But yeah other than that, advancement is nearly unnoticeable.
Chinese brands like Xiaomi and Oppo are just better right now. Way more bang for your buck, software is great too nowadays. And real innovation! Samsung and Apple are sleeping.

Finally, normal Friday service has resumed. I had to result to watching even more dull youtubers during my Friday lunch break.
It's 2025. No one-inch sensor = no deal.
He looks like squidward
Hahahahaahhaahahah, how dare you🤣👍🏻
Dont do my man like that
gay
*handsome* squidward if i may add
He's the handsome version why do you even feel the need to say that I don't understand ??
Love watching your antics! Especially while taking my daily poos from across the pond in America! Love the no nonsense reviews.
I don't know what he's saying but it's entertaining
Can we get a best budget tablet video please? 😊
agree
it isn't said enough... the verbal presentation you give us is always awesome in and Uncle Tech style but none the less, outstanding!
I hope Samsung tanks this year, time for a wakeup call that they cant be giving us the same shitty cameras and tech every year with increased prices.
They're already tanking tho it's a still a big company.
Maybe if the competitors had options that were actually competitive with the Samsung offering they'd have a wake-up call. Nobody wants to deal with the shitty Tensor chipset of a Pixel 9 or the shitty costumer support and OxygenOS of a OnePlus 13 or the annoying workarounds required to use a Xiaomi outside of Mainland China.
They've been just as bad as Apple for a few years now, I'm glad more people are noticing that
I miss the innovation
@ The workarounds for using a Chinese phone is because of US/EU sanctions. Do you know they can't even use the latest processor dimensions?

Good to see you back on form after all that Christmas and New Year bollocks. Techspurt Weekly is the bulls bollocks 👍
Kinda sad not to see the oppo find x8 ultra or vivo x200 ultra. I guess they won't go global 😭
That was one of the spurtiest episode I've seen yet, but I doubt that either Samsung or Nothing use his commentary in their marketing.
Will the op7 and 7t pro design ever make it's way back?
The full screen display is so addictive
And also old camera processing, retaining Good details and not afraid of noise, unlike new phones and keeping the colours relatively intact
I'm going to buy Xiaomi 15 ultra, I don't see the S25U being the best buy....
Glad to hear
... I believe it is about time to have a new character added to the tech spurt family. Veronica and Wank Sock need a friend ...
I’ve been waiting for the nothing phone 3 to come out so I can make the switch from iphone
Cant wait for the Oppo X 8 ultra
Waiting for your review of az100 ?!
Please tell me you have them ??????
Welcome to Rwanda
The next phone I'll be looking at seriously is the Pixel 10.... Hopefully it'll be a nice change from my Pixel 6.
I have the 6a and I am thinking about the 9a
You have such a soothing voice. Use this video to help me fall asleep for days now. Thank you very much!
Dude the wallpaper qualitys look so good in all the phones featured on this channel
Really thinking to get the magic 6 pro again, battery life ain't great on the 14 ultra. and the 7 pro comes with a smaller battery.😮
How are you Uncle Squirrel 🐿️❤❤❤
Can you do a review of new lenovo tablet, the lenovo yoga tab plus
I’m really looking forward to your comments, on the new iPhone SE yes we! Ok me, value your opinion on that special piece of tech. If it ever happens cheers young man.
Apple is Samsung's biggest client! Google it
Waiting for the poco f7 ultra just to watch your review, i can't afford it 😢
I love many of the anime wallpapers you have on the phones you showcase, where do you get them from?
Hi Chris, with the sad passing yesterday of David Lynch, was he someone whose films you enjoyed watching? You need to up your hot dinner game. I suggest rustler burgers and oven chips washed down with elderflower cordial [checks notes]...or whiskey chasers.
Im looking for buying a flagship phone this year, is it worth it waiting for the upcoming phones or vivo x200 pro is good enough?
I'm thinking of getting the Vivo X200 Pro. Is worth waiting a month or so for a better phone? I feel like its a great phone under $1000 US. Would love some Opinions.
Could you review the oppo reno13, I'm really considering getting it or maybe the a56
Are there any upcoming reviews of any more clip on type earbuds? Saw your Soundcore C40i review and since then have seemingly seen every brand release their own take on this new style of earbud! Keep up the great work 💪👍

Hi uncle spurt, what's your favourite blower that you always go back to using? I see you review lots of phone and I best guess is that you get to keep them?
Where do you find those adorable wallpapers?
i just purchased the pixel 9 pro xl yesterday ,hope i made a good purchase
What phone are you using to read the comments sir
Gavin and Stacey was amazing
Looking forward to oneplus nord 5 coming
Are we getting any new video on budget phone video?
14:07 Are we sure the Oppo Find 8X Ultra goes global? Last time I checked it seemed pretty decided it will be China exclusive
Are there any 'lady sized' phones coming soon? The size of my hands can't keep up with the increasing sizes of the mobiles 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Maybe they need to make 2 versions. My issue is that size wise they are fine, they are just too thin and "crackable"!

I've got an S21 Ultra and I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade to a S25 Ultra or try and get a deal on a S24 Ultra... Any thoughts?
If you want a cheap chromebook , it maybe free with s24 ultra. S25 ultra has new 50 MP 5X
Im still on the S20 FE 5g (snap) in EU. And I like the 6,5'' screen, still looking for a phone this size. I would even spend flagship money, but there is just nothing out there in EU.
That new Motorola foldable or that 9a probably idk yet i ll make my choice on black Friday
After upgrade , but want phone ultra size , fantastic photos , and watch you tube/ etc . And good sound ? Thankyou.
nice junji ito manga 🧐
I got the honor 200 pro about a month ago and now looking at the xiaomi redmi note 14 pro + I'm wondering if I should have held off to get that....
Honor is better than shitaomi
@emka9537 how come you say that? Main reason im a bit unsure if I made the right call was because of the extra IP protection and glass protection level. Despite the less powerful hardware and camera
@Jahq00 i had two xiaomi phones both lasted a year when battery died, and started software bugs what they didnt fix. Had e scooter also battery died in two months , now iam dealing with xiaomi tv that are shit and buggy so yeah xiaomi shit company wanna Chinesephone buy honor or oneplus
@emka9537 Well honor aren't Chinese I don't think. but I see your point. I think I had a xiaomi phone 12+ years ago and it was okay. One thing I haven't had to deal with lots of with the honor is bloatware. To be honest, if this phone had better IP and glass protection as well as a flat screen as opposed to curved. I'd never want another phone again 😂
Nice! ☺️
Unc, you should review the upcoming Iqoo Z10, it would have a massive 7,000mah battery🤯
How did he get all of his wallpapers?
iPhone SE 4 👀...lel 😂
👍🤣
Well, now I’m curious about the part with your wife being in Canada. Any chance of story time with Uncle Spurt?
first comment so I can claim a cuppa from uncle spurt
Can you make video about nubia z70 ultra.
Your language is F***ING disgracefully, andddd we love it hahaha Mr whostheboss used to do really good phone videos but he's on this smart house kick ATM this is by far much better for phone lovers like myself 😂 now, as you would say, I'm going to spaff off!
That wife remark was definitely rude, but expected, cheers uncle and keep the reviews coming, the world is boring without profanity.
So Mr uncle Spurt, compact phones for 2025......…..what's available & what do you think will be best?
Xiaomi 15 (prob the best but I find messy)
Scamsung S25 - shit camera & battery, good software support
Pixel 9a/9pro - hate using these
iPhone 17pro - been there, trying to get away
Have I forgotten any?
I have really big hands and even I don't see the point of 6.7/6.9 inch displays, they're annoying. 6.2-6.5 should be the sweet spot for a big phone
For me personally 5.5 is the perfect size, it's a phone, not a tablet, one hand use should be the primary concern
Mr spurt plz do a review of the Nubia z70ultra
Living in Plymouth, the Plymouth comment caught me so off guard
3:16
I'm 10 and interested in phones. Wanted to ask is it weird not to drink?
Waiting for Xiaomi 15 Ultra 👈🏻
only 3 minutes in and i'm in tears... this could be the best voice over yet. :) haha
I know Android and ChormeBook Tablets are something of a minority interest. But some of us still like to use them. A bit more coverage this year please.
