Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@frarodroc says : At the flagship level, there's still an iPhone, a Galaxy S, but in the budget spectrum... we're lost.>> <<@frarodroc says : Oh boy, I miss small phones, that iphone se 2020 black, not midnight... with A18 🥺>> <<@youpyum9244 says : I really love my 13 mini Started with iPhone 3G (8GB) in 2009 without a contract, then 4 (16GB) in 2010, 4S (16GB) in 2012, 5S (32GB) in 2013 and gave my 4S away (kept it for four years, because I didn’t want a big phone), SE 😍 (2016 model bought in 2017) (128GB), 12 mini 😍😍 (256GB) bought in 2020 and now the iPhone 13 mini 512GB bought in 2022 I will keep it till the next mini iPhone 😍😍😍 I’m a real power user and the battery life is not great, but I don’t mind. A short charge several times will keep it running There are a few moments when a bigger screen would be nice… but the one-handed use and pocketability… I have áll the time and I absolutely love it 😍 i can reach the hole display without leaving my pink from underneath the phone. It gives you a grippy feel. I don’t need to dance with my phone to tap something and that’s great It is just a perfect PHONE It’s not like it’s a bad phablet, because there are better phablets You can almost compare them with iPads (a little exaggerated ofcourse, but you get the point) It is a perfect, maybe the best, PHONE I hope Apple will release another mini Even if it is every four years a limited edition, even the same price as the “standard” size won’t keep mini-users from buying I really think they could sell them for $ 100,- more, every 4-6 years, because of the high production costs at lower numbers ofcourse Mini-lovers will buy it, 100%>> <<@mexicanumex says : loving my iphone 13 mini, i made the mistake to upgrade to ios 26, now battery dies faster and very slow below 30% battery, any fix or improvement anybody ?>> <<@HettesKvek says : The public votes with their money, and the public voted out small phones.>> <<@AlexRamiro-p9y says : Something that's bigger than a samsung s3 is not small !>> <<@dottyorb says : Watching this video on my Zenfone 10 and I plan on keeping this phone until it dies, my only complaint with this phone is that the cameras are a noticeable downgrade from the OnePlus 9 I had before, Asus or anyone decide in the future to revisit this concept with massively improved cameras and a Silicon Carbon battery I'd jump on it immediately.>> <<@JP-oe4ry says : Looking at new phones. All look like generic mini tablets that keep people addicted. I and surely others want minimalist phones. Surely there is a massive gap in the market that needs filling. Still using my Samsung xcover 5 till it dies as rhere is nothing similar being made.>> <<@melonfryes says : I wonder why YouTube is recommendeding this video again? 🤔>> <<@VioletClaw816 says : I actually went ahead bought a zen phone 10 after water ur review in 2026>> <<@CartmanPrime says : No Marques, you and your irrational love for Phablets killed small phones.>> <<@5_C_G says : I kinda want a iphone 5s size phone by Samsung.>> <<@Ccccccccccc-b3p says : You keep saying flagship, flagship, flagship. It's so much worse than that. There aren't even any small BUDGET phones from any major manufacturers anymore.>> <<@reeeesespieces says : This aged well went with a S25 and it feels weird moving to a small phone>> <<@nibras6198 says : The thing is apple never made a flagship mini like a 12 pro but mini>> <<@mori6785 says : here's a solution: stop making huge phone!>> <<@JulianHarpst says : We? Who’s We?>> <<@denismanson4068 says : I actually always loved big phones even buying cases to make it way bigger than they are>> <<@joshs3916 says : Rip>> <<@neiljohnson6815 says : My Nokia flip phone is a great small size phone.>> <<@FlashzTube says : Its not the size. Its the spec! Give me a small high spec phone and see which I prefer. I dont even like to carry a phone anymore. The smaller the better.>> <<@mrd2754 says : coming from 2026, i can tell you all the phones are the size of a brick.>> <<@sinnersdemise9054 says : iPhone X was the perfect size a smartphone should be.>> <<@diegomendezrivera3907 says : I feel that any company that this year or the next year, that release a small phone, will sold out really fast... Bc we small phone users doesn't update phone every year... So to release every year is bad, I have an S22 and I thought about moving to the Zenfone 10... But bc it was too close to each other I didn't do it... But now I'm trying to find another good small phone, and there is none... So I'm sure ppl like me when hopefully someone make a small good phone, we will move for that one, and then after 5 years you can make another one>> <<@nelsonsimon237 says : Marques, you have the power. Please ask smartphone company to make small phone alive again 😂>> <<@Kylito1512 says : The frickin 13 mini is better than the 16e! Literally with MagSafe precision finding and 2 cameras. 16e is a granny phone. Wish they came out with 17 mini. I would’ve bought and used it for a decade.>> <<@axelblaze566 says : The only thing wrong with the Mini was the battery life>> <<@Siris6771 says : I am curious if the zflip format will eventually fix this, feels like they're determined to not give full functionality on the outer display, but Motorola is pushing that, hopefully it will eventually get there and give people a big display in a tiny form factor>> <<@barthez_ says : That small Zen Phone looks so good, that I somewhat regret not looking for a new phone when it came out.>> <<@Sir_Kok_299 says : I absolutely love mini phones, and I even used the iPhone 5s until 2024 because I loved it so much. Rip small devices 😢>> <<@karbonkevin919 says : I have big hands. And i used to have a 13 mini, i had a 15 pro before and now a s25 ultra id go bsck to apple if they made a mini phone again. Or get a small samsung if they made it. Best phone experience i had was a iphone 13 mini and I'm a samsung guy.>> <<@keyon08 says : Why the hell the screens should be small ??? Consider how much time with spend there everyday... someone even spend half of the day there ! 🤨 There should not be "average": 1) model who loves BIG, 2) model who love "small". And then we'll see who has more !!! So dont ask a small phone for everyone, what we should ask - is 2 models. where 70-80% will be BIG and 30% for ones who love a small one.>> <<@frank-bmtz says : Sticking with my moto razr as my main phone, and my S25 as my backup. Both reasonably sized phones with good/decent specs. I don't need the ultras or pro maxes of the world.>> <<@85Kubu says : It is over 1 year later... I am looking for a replacement of my Asus Zenfone 8 and my iPhone 12mini. And there is nothing. The thing that is the closest is Samsung S25, but it is almost 2mm wider than Zenfone 10, which is way bigger than iPhone Mini. The fun fact is that every now and then a NOS Asus Zenfone 10 appears for sale. And it is sold instantly for the same price as the new Samsung S25. Despite not receiving software updates anymore. People are still looking for small flagships.>> <<@_aullik says : There are no phones left, only phablets>> <<@nunosapunso6239 says : Once battery is improved, I'd like a mini phone. My 13 mini didn't last a day.>> <<@ficherkoto9757 says : Dude, there's still a Google Pixel in the world>> <<@mosquito-song says : Big phones are top heavy for 99% of people's hand sizes... its like planned obsolecense with people dropping them all the time. And jeans pockets are a fixed size... these mini tablet phones are annoying as hell and get int the way in activities>> <<@The-Fishkeeper says : 10 years ago, these "small phones" would've been considered "phablets". I miss phones around the 5.5" mark.>> <<@ikOldBoy says : Solid work... ✔️☑️✔️>> <<@swarrior216 says : i miss small and light weight phones.>> <<@paashaasXD says : I have large hands but I love my Zenfone 10. I just want to access anything on the screen without moving my hand too much, I really don't know how people use those large phones lolol>> <<@slicetimemedia says : Tried newer better versions, but nothing beats the small form! now considering android fold phones... Bought the iphone 13 mini used in 2023, loved it but then it died in 2025 days before a trip to Japan, bought a 15 pro - loved the camera, snappiness etc. Just two months after returning from Japan I sold the 15 pro and got the 13 mini fixed, rocking it everyday. Wish they would release a new MINI PRO every three years, best cameras, chips and battery (best capacity they can fit). Despite being completely enveloped in the Apple eco system, I'm beginning to look at Android Flip phones as an alternative, for when the 13 mini will inevitably die - honestly sucks as I would slowly have to move away from the apple eco system, on all devices. Twist I would love to see, is the Apple Watch being able to be used as a standalone phone, with a camera.>> <<@Sridhar_haha says : Its the corporate greed that killed it to make us keep scrolling until our fingers fade. SO DONT LIE.>> <<@AzlanGamingZone says : Actually, I’m going to keep my iPhone XS because I have small hands until it turns into dust>> <<@jonweinrib6934 says : Do you have ANY recommendations for small phones?? As someone with really difficult hand spasms, I basically can't use the large phones, and my iphone 13 mini is on it's last legs :( -- Any recommendations???>> <<@1_pulse1 says : Bro thought he is Nietzsche with that title 🙏🤓>> <<@eprjct says : Again, as a person who prefer small phones, I know why it dies. Small phones are always preferred by users, but but but small phone users HATE changing phones.>> <<@hlewis5217 says : I would love a small thin phone like the OG Blackberry to reduce screen time if that's even possible>> <<@abdalkreemmhmed1191 says : Sad news for me as a small phone lover, i will use my zenfone 10, until a good small phone appears somewhere....!>>
