**The Best Smartphones of 2019: A Year in Review**

In 2019, the smartphone industry witnessed significant advancements and innovations that pushed the boundaries of what we consider "smart" phones. From sleek designs to cutting-edge camera technology, this year's offerings were nothing short of impressive. Here are some of our favorite smartphones from 2019, as chosen by some of your favorite YouTubers.

**iJustine's Favorite Smartphone: iPhone 11 Pro Max**

My favorite smartphone of 2019? Jeez, I don't know, I wonder what that could be? The iPhone 11 Pro Max, by any chance? Of course, I'm a fan of the iPhone. I'm iJustine, what do you guys expect? Other than the new ultra-wide camera and the front-facing 4K camera, I do want to point out one of my favorite things about the new iPhone, is the look of it. A lot of people, myself included, always put cases on their iPhones, but let's just take a moment to appreciate the sheer beauty of the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

**Mr. Q's Favorite Phone: iPhone 11 Pro**

Hey there guys! It's Mr. Q from Raqamitv here on SuperSaf TV. Thank you so much Saf for having me on your special episode. I have to choose my favorite phone. I'd have to say it's the iPhone 11 Pro. Let me explain why. You see, the most important thing for me is recording video. And the fact that the iPhone 11 Pro has 4K, 60 frames per second on every single lens, plus you've got lovely ultra-wide lenses that are all calibrated almost identically. Plus, you've got a fantastic microphone, makes this my favorite device. I know Saf, you said choose one phone, but I'm going to cheat, because I do think that the Note 10 is an extremely beautiful device, however, what has captured my heart and interest this year is the Galaxy Fold. Let me tell you why.

**Galaxy Fold: A Game-Changer**

I've got a phone, I've got a tablet, I've got a PC if I use DeX. Comes with wireless earbuds, plus that foldable screen never gets old, I love it. Listen to this (phone snapping shut). Doesn't it sound so good? The Galaxy Fold is indeed a game-changer in the world of smartphones. Its innovative design and functionality have captured the hearts of many, including Mr. Q.

**MKBHD's Favorite Smartphone: OnePlus 7 Pro**

Hey what's up guys, MKBHD here on SuperSaf TV, and my favorite smartphone of the year for 2019, that's going to have to go, I mean, there's a bunch of definitions of favorite. Maybe it's just the one that I use the most during the year. So I guess for me, that's going to be the iPhone 5S (laughs), no I'm just kidding. It's the OnePlus 7 Pro, actually. That's the phone I use the most. And there's even better phones than this one. It happens to be a lower price point. But I really liked it as the smoothest Android phone of the year, had quick software updates, fast charging, edge-to-edge display, 90Hz, sort of the complete package.

**Dave's Favorite Smartphone: iPhone SE**

What's up guys, Dave here on SuperSaf TV, and my favorite phone for 2019 is the 2019 iPhone SE. This hardware did not come out this year, but they updated the software. It's now a significantly smoother experience than it was in the past, and it's a really great phone. Now, the real reason why I love this phone is its price point. It's $100, maybe $150 US dollars. It's super small. Well, not this one but the real one's small, and it's a metal frame. Very durable, you can drop it all you want, and it'll be in great condition. But easy pick for me, iPhone SE.

Samsung Galaxy Fold.Now, I know, I know, it's not perfect.It's super fragile.It's very expensive and it'sgot a very small front display.But I've not been thisexcited about any smartphonein a very long time.And in my opinion, thisis the biggest innovationthat we've had in smartphone spacefor a very long time as well.The fact that I can havea tablet-size device,which I can simply fold andput it in my pocket is amazing.Remember, this is a first gen product,so it will be improving,and it's the reasonwhy it's my personalfavorite smartphone of 2019.That's me.Let's see what the others have to say.- Hey, what's up guys?Austin Evans here on SuperSaf TV,and my favorite smartphone of the yearhas got to be the OnePlus 7T.Now yeah, there were a bunchof great iPhones this year.Samsung had a bunch of cool stuff,but for me, the OnePlusreally is the story.It's not crazy expensive,it's got the best screenon any phone, period.So smooth, so fluid.It's go the performance.Really, the only thing I can knock it foris that the camera isn't quite upto the pixel of the iPhone standard,but beyond that, it is anabsolutely killer deal.- What's up guys, this isJenna Ezarik on SuperSaf TV,and my favorite smartphone of 2019is the iPhone 11 Pro Max.Now I might be a little biasedbecause it does kind of look like my dog.But I've just been loving the ultra wide,I've been loving the slofies,as hopefully no one is saying anymore.I like the look of it.The battery life is incredible,and it's just been my favorite phone.- Safilicious, super Saf, Safi, ah!Safilicious.Hey!I'll say, I sat here withmy guy, Super Safylicious.Said I should do a video for him.Yes, here.And today I'm going to tell youmy favorite smartphone of 2019.Of course you people know itis the Samsung Galaxy Fold.I love that device.It's expensive, it feels nice,and of course that thingfolds like sandwich bread.Very nice.I love your phone becauseevery time I can use itto check my bank account,I can watch video of myself,and of course I can Skypeat least two of my wives at the same time.Or even three.Lots of space to cut.Anyway, thank you very much.Hopefully you people enjoyedthis session of the video,and please follow me on TikTokbecause I am broke nowafter buying the phone.It's expensive.- What's going on guys?This is Jon Rettinger on SuperSaf TV,and my favorite phone 2019,probably not that much of a surprise,the iPhone 11 Pro Max.I use my phone pretty heavily.Battery life is amazing,the screen is great,I get all the Appleecosystemy things that I love.That's a phone that has pretty muchalways been in my pocket since launch.I've tested a lot this yearand there are a lot of contenders,but the champion for me for camera,battery life, and overall performance,iPhone 11 Pro Max.- What's up guys?This is Faisal Alsaif on SuperSaf TV.When it comes to my favoritesmartphone of the year 2019,it's definitely the Samsung Note10 Plus.Of course it doesn'thave a 90 hertz screen.It doesn't have a phone jack,or I say headphone jack,yet, this is a phone that came aftera lot of work from Samsung.Years of maturity gave us this phone.That gave me a very good experience.I know it's not at thepixel that we all wantedin the past years.It's not the foldable phone.It's not the phone with the full screenwith no bezels or withno mole on the screenthat's a camera.Yet, it's the phone thatI like for the year 2019.- What's up guys?- This is JerryRigEverythinghere on SuperSaf TV.Picking my favorite smartphoneof 2019 was very difficult.There are a lot of goodphones out this year.And my favorite isn't the most powerfulor the best looking, butone of the most unique.Yeah, we've had a lot ofmotorized smartphone camerasand stuff like that, but myfavorite has been the smartphonethat switches back and forthbetween the dual screenson both the front and the back.It's actually pretty cool.It's got the triple camerasetup, which is great.And I think it's just an efficient useof all of the real estate on boththe front and back of the phone.It's called the Nubia Z20,and for me, it's myfavorite phone of 2019.I think it'll be fun to seewhat they come up with next year.- What's up guys?This is Ashwin fromC4ETech on SuperSaf TV.My favorite smartphone for the year,it's got to be a tossupbetween the iPhone 11and the ROG Phone 2.The iPhone 11, it was perfectly Apple.It's what was expected of it.Now on the other hand, the ROG Phone 2,it was a surprise, especiallygiven the price pointit launched at in India.It kind of just blew me away,so I can't really choosebetween these two.If you want panel,the performance, the added detail,the entire ecosystem is built around it.It retails for 39,000 rupees in India.That's a tad under $550 US dollars,which is a pretty sweetprice point, right?So anyway, that's me.Sorry Saf, I kind of snuck in two picks.- What's up guys?This is David the Unlockr for SuperSaf TV.And my favorite phone of 2019has got to be the Galaxy Fold.For me, sure, the outsidescreen isn't the most usefuland it's expensive, but living the dreamof having a tablet that I can fold upand put in my pocket isjust such a cool concept.The price will come down.Android software will getbetter at being a tablet,and Samsung will createa newer, better versionof the Fold thanks tothe overwhelming ordersthey had for this model,and all of that can only meanthat the mobile phone industry gets pushedinto a new form factor and cooler designs.What's not to love about that?- My favorite smartphone of 2019?Jeez, I don't know, Iwonder what that could be?The iPhone 11 Pro Max, by any chance?Of course I'm a fan of the iPhone.I'm iJustine, what do you guys expect?Other than the new ultra wide cameraand the front facing 4K camera,I do want to point outone of my favorite
