The $200,000 Smartphone Unboxing 💀

Lovely packaging and a fun green glitter theme, but too much text and not much elegance.

A quirky colour-changing phone he finds unique and fun, and a glimpse of where phone finishes could go.

Mentioned as the latest Red Magic gaming phone with a 165Hz display and heavy cooling.

Impressive effort with a genuinely working fan visible through a transparent back, but the software is a bit tacky.

A phone he wanted badly back then, but it now feels like it belongs in a museum.

Loves the matte, jazzy-but-not-excessive Phantom Red finish and the even bezels, though others he showed it to hated it.

The brown finish is unlike anything he has seen and feels surprisingly distinct, like a fan-made concept.

Not his taste, but the precision of placing a thousand Swarovski crystals and gold plating blows his mind.

Superb build and packaging, if he had to use a BlackBerry this would be it, but the software let it down.

A rebadged ZTE Axon 7 with leather, sold at luxury prices; he finds it disingenuous.

The phone the Lamborghini Alpha One is spec-for-spec identical to.

A slim, affordable phone with a fun finish that plays tricks with light.

Shown as part of the Xiaomi package; around 1,000 euros and not releasing globally.

Prefers the ceramic white model to the black one but thinks the Ultra phones play it too safe with colour.

Xiaomi's bands are one area where the brand has killed it, in a price bracket rivals avoid.

Incredibly powerful but odd, as no Xiaomi phone can charge at 80W wirelessly; more future-proofing than a benefit.

A meaty showpiece of brass, gold plating and acrylic that feels expensive, but he probably wouldn't use it.

A kilogram-of-gold S21 Ultra with no working cameras and a huge price, which he finds laughable and pointless.
