I just watched the fair phone review, I don't think it was a terrible review. Some parts I disagreed with, but I think the presenter was fairly upfront with their biases
I think mention of small things like needing to take the battery out to swap the cards, was just a comment on the design philosophy rather than a deal-breaker. Plus for YouTube video they need content find things to both promote and detract
I did like how they indicated the SOC has 15 years of support from Qualcomm, I honestly didn't know it was that long That's amazing
Certainly if you don't like the review no need to watch the channel, I just don't understand how that translates into hate
It's not like I hate it but it felt like a review target for a specific audience and with little journalistic work. I was a bit disappointed because he is often refered to be one of the most serious and unbiaised tech reviewers on the internet.
But yeah, that was a first impression indeed.
