("Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who)
- What's up guys, Saf here on SuperSaf TV,
and this is the best of the best.
A lot of you guys will know
that towards the end of each year,
I do a huge, SuperSaf style collaboration
with all of my friends to share with you
what their favorite smartphones of the year have been.
This is the sixth year running,
I believe that we're doing this and there will be two parts.
In this video we're going to be looking at
the favorite smartphones of 2020
and in the next video we'll be looking at favorite tech,
not including smartphones.
If you want to make sure you don't miss that
as soon as it's out,
then be sure to subscribe and hit that bell icon.
So to kick things off,
what is my personal favorite smartphone of the year?
It's been a tough one
because we've had a huge amount of smartphones,
as you can see.
But if I was to pick just one,
it would have to be the Samsung Galaxy Fold2.
I'm not going to call it the Z Fold2 or Zed Fold2,
I'm just going to call it the Fold2.
Why is it my favorite?
Well, in my opinion,
it is the most improved smartphone of the year.
If we compare it to the Fold 1 last year,
pretty much everything we asked for we now have.
The front display is now a lot more usable
and it is a lot more durable
compared to the Fold 1 last year.
Now, yes, it's not perfect
and it's still very, very expensive,
but it still amazes me that we can have a smartphone
that can extend in to a tablet.
And that's why I absolutely loved the Samsung Galaxy Fold2.
That's me, let's see what the others have to say.
- Hey, what's up guys?
Austin Evans here for SuperSaf TV
and my favorite part of the year is hands down
the Samsung galaxy Z Flip.
Look, I am a flippy boy.
Now, yes, the iPhone 12 Mini
was a very close second runner up for this, but for me,
nothing comes close to the uniqueness of this form factor
and just how well it was implemented as a gen one product.
I can't wait for Z Flip 2.
- [Ken] Wait, you already, okay.
- Z Flip 2.5.
- Is anybody going to be at all surprised
when I tell them what my favorite smartphone is of 2020?
No, you're not.
It's the iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Surprise.
- [Jenna] What about the Mini?
- No, Jenna, I can only pick one.
- What's up, guys, it's David on SuperSaf TV
and my favorite smartphone of 2020 has to be the Pixel 5.
Google actually listened, it feels like, and we have a phone
that is at a much better price than before,
while still having great performance,
photography that you've just come to expect
from a Pixel phone, and finally a decent battery.
All in a small enough form factor
that even has a fingerprint sensor on the back
for when your face, you know, might be covered
because of, I don't know, a global pandemic.
- Okay, it's on, it's on, ha ha, thank you, SuperSaf,
and I know some of you are wondering,
what is my favorite smartphone of the year?
Open and close, Galaxy Z Fold2.
I am talking about sexy on top of sexy.
Big screen in front, big screen inside
for a big guy like me.
Oh, sexiness!
Anyway, I love the phone
because it can open up in many angles.
If you catch my drift.
Thank you very much, Safilicous,
don't forget to send me the check for this phone
because it's expensive.
- Hi there, everyone, it's Mr. Q from RaqamiTV
here on SuperSaf TV and I had to choose a phone,
a mobile device that I thought was my favorite.
And to be honest, while I didn't get to play with this phone
for very long because it just came out,
it's the iPhone 12 Mini.
Now typically I'll go ahead
and choose the best iPhone out there.
I want the iPhone Pro,
the Max was always a little bit too big for me,
but I would choose the Max
because I wanted the best battery life.
But I decided to go with the Mini this year because,
the one handability is just, it's too good.
Oh, and of course a bonus that it's the cheapest iPhone
out of all of them, so wallet careability too.
- What's up guys, this is Jenna Ezarik on SuperSaf TV
and my favorite smartphone of 2020
has to be the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold.
I think that the improvements from the previous generation
was just incredible.
I love it, but I unfortunately had to send it back.
But I still love it.
- Hey guys, this is Linus on SuperSaf TV.
The Galaxy Z Fold2 is an evolutionary improvement
over the original Fold,
but it is still easily my favorite phone of the year.
I love it as a head turning piece of tech
and the giant screen is amazing for both work
and media consumption.
It also compromises nothing in terms of performance
with an HDR capable 120 Hertz display.
I just can't daily drive it because Google and Samsung
aren't getting their act together
and fixing the deficiencies in the YouTube app.
So I guess I'll still be rolling My Note 9.
- My favorite smartphone of 2020 is the iPhone 12 Mini,
because just like me, it's fun size.
I know the 12 Pro Max has the best of everything
from battery to cameras,
but there's something just so satisfying
about a phone, this small,
especially knowing that it's just as powerful.
And even with a MagSafe wallet attached,
it's still light and portable.
- What's up, guys, this is Faisal Alsaif on SuperSaf TV.
Well, when it comes to my favorite tech
for the year of 2020,
of course, if I'm talking a smartphone,
it's got to be the Fold, the new Fold, the Fold2
with all the capabilities
and the stuff that Samsung brought to the table.
I found it that to be a revolutionary kind of a device
with the technologies in it, like, I mean,
when it comes to the hinges, when it comes to the screen,
you know, the foldability,
and we know that there's a way forward
with foldable devices
and this is one promise in one of them.
- Hey guys, Ashwin from C4ETech on SuperSaf TV
and my favorite smartphone for the year,
it's surprisingly the Sony Xperia 5 II.
Now, I've not used the Sony phone in about four years
and Sony really impressed me
with what they had to offer here.
Right from that two-state shutter key,
the impressive optics, to the stellar specs inside.
That 120 Hertz 21 by nine panel,
I find it so strange that a phone so good
still remains so unknown.
- What's going on, guys?
Jon Rettinger from SuperSaf TV here
and my favorite smartphone of 2020 is not made by Apple.
I want to give a big round of applause to my foldy boy,
the Z Fold2 5G, the worst name for the best phone.
I love it, it's in my pocket,
and it folds what more can you want?
- Yo, what's good, this is MKBHD here on SuperSaf TV.
All right, Saf, you're making me pick
my favorite phone of the year for 2020.
It's tough, I don't want to give away my smartphone awards,
like what the trophy's going to go to for the best phone,
I don't want to give a bad phone though,
So I'm going to give a shout out to one of my favorites
and it's a really good one.
The thing is, I'm going to preface this by saying
there's a lot of great phones that came out this year.
A lot of very expensive phones.
This is not the most expensive phone.
This is not even the best phone that came out this year.
It's not even the one that's in my pocket,
but I think it deserves a shout out.
And that's the Pixel 4A, right.
So if you remember, this phone came out,
it was supposed to come out earlier in the year than it did,
but for $350.
It was sort of a reminder, a refresh, a wake-up call
for how much phone you can get for this price
at a budget level.
One of the best cameras in the game as far as still photos,
and just an overall well-rounded good phone.
It's got that headphone jack,
it's got that little flash on the back.
Single camera, they didn't go crazy
with like six cameras and a two megapixel macro,
they did it right.
I think Pixel 4A is a great buy for a lot of people,
deserves to be looked at.
There you go.
- And there we have it, guys, that is the best of the best.
Some of the favorite smartphones of the year
as selected by some of your favorite YouTubers.

which will be the best tech of 2020,
