My expectations for the Pixel 4 were that it would offer a good amount of storage, battery life, and a competitive price point.

It is likely that this trend will continue in the years to come, with more advanced and improved foldable phones being released.

Question 1: What do you think of the new phones with high-end specs and low prices?
I’m loving the hardware competition that these new phones are bringing. The specs don’t always tell the whole story, and you need to use the phone to really get a feel for what it does well and what it doesn’t. The Popcode phone I recently tested had few weaknesses, and the camera turned out better than I expected for the price.
Question 2: Do you think the tech community is in a bubble?
I’m starting to get the impression that the tech community is somewhat of a bubble. The main factors of people buying phones aren’t necessarily which one has the best camera or display, but rather which one will give them the least amount of hassle. I’ve been doing more real-world tests with people, and it’s interesting to see what they think of the phones.
Question 3: What do you think is the most important factor when buying a phone?
I think the most important factor when buying a phone is finding one that will give you the least amount of hassle. People don’t necessarily care about which one has the best camera or display, but rather which one is the most convenient and reliable.
Wireless Charging
MKBHD has revealed that he does use wireless charging, and has a Pixel Stand on his desk and next to his bed. He believes that it makes life easier, but it also depends on the phone. Some phones have gigantic batteries, while others have super fast charging, which can be used differently.
Number of Phones
MKBHD has a three-digit number of phones in his studio, less than 200 but over 100. He believes that this is way too many.
Cameras
MKBHD has found that cameras matter a lot to people. They want it to take good pictures instantly, be fast, and have an easy-to-use ecosystem. He believes that this turns into an ecosystem thing when it comes to apps, as if the other ecosystem doesn’t have the same apps, then it becomes an issue.
But I think it also depends on the content and the type of game youre playing and the way youre interacting with the phone. So I think it is a sweet spot, but I dont think its a must have.
Question 1: What are your plans for the phones you acquire?
MKBHD has no plans for any of the phones he acquires. He simply gets them and they accumulate. He recently purchased a Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, so more are on the way.
Question 2: What is the best collaboration you’ve ever done?
MKBHD cites the True Third Dab collaboration with Sean Evans as the best collaboration he has ever done. Sean Evans is an awesome host who hosts a YouTube chicken wing show and also does the True Third Dab spin off. The questions were well researched and the whole ecosystem of the show was fascinating.
Question 3: You talk about displays quite a lot. Do you think we benefit from going to 120 Hertz?
MKBHD believes that 120 Hertz is a sweet spot, but it depends on the content and the type of game being played. He has noticed a difference between 60 and 90 Hertz, and has played with the ROG phone at 120 Hertz. He believes that 120 Hertz can be beneficial, but is not a must-have.

What Is the Touch Response Frequency on iPhones?
The touch response frequency on iPhones is 120 Hertz. This makes the 60 Hertz refresh rate on iPhones feel smoother than the 1060 Hertz refresh rate on Samsung phones. To get the best experience, MKBHD recommends a 90 Hertz refresh rate as a good middle ground.

Question 4: Would you rather lose 1 million subscribers or use a Windows Phone as the only phone for the next 5 years?
Given the choice, it would be preferable to lose 1 million subscribers rather than be forced to use a Windows Phone as the only phone for the next 5 years. According to YouTube analytics, MKBHD has already lost more than 1 million subscribers in the lifetime of the channel, making this an easy decision.
Question 5: Who will hit 10 million subscribers first, MKBHD or Tina McGee?
At the moment, MKBHD has the edge in terms of subscribers, but Tina McGee is always full of surprises. It will be a close race, but only time will tell who will hit 10 million subscribers first.
Sony Xperia Flagships
MKBHD was asked to name Sony’s past flagships, to which he responded with the Xperia 1 as the last one he used. He then went on to mention the Xperia XZ, but stopped there due to the difficulty of naming the non-existent models.
Keith’s Name
The interviewer then asked if it was possible that Keith’s name was not what it appeared to be. Keith responded by saying that they would have to wait and see, as he was going out to NC.
Wikipedia Page
Keith then revealed a fun fact that he was unable to edit his own Wikipedia page. Whenever someone edits his page, it becomes a thing, and he is unable to correct it. Wikipedia will eventually lock it for vandalism if this happens enough times.
Plot Twist
The interviewer thought he had Keith, but it turned out to be a plot twist. Keith thanked the interviewer for having him and concluded the 25 questions tour.
