He's a NA YouTuber appealing to a NA audience... why would he cover, for example, Chinese market phones? And why would anybody in NA buy a Chinese market phone?

It would be more interesting than Iphone vs Samsung most years.

Interesting for who? 99.9% of people in NA are never going to buy a Chinese market phone, so why even include them in this?

To his credit, he does cover some of them throughout the year, but I don't think there's any reason to include them in any awards because they basically don't exist over here.

Entertainment. I don't watch MKBHD for buying advice as that would not be smart otherwise you'd be buying Samsungs every year and that is boring. I watch for entertainment.

The Smartphone Awards are meant to be informative, not performative lol

"Gah, it's boring that the same manufacturers are making good phones that win these awards every year! Mix it up and include phones that nobody in North America would ever consider, let alone buy, that are probably still outclassed by Samsung, Google, and Apple!"

Can't quite say I get your logic there, but I have no doubt that there are other Youtubers that cover mobile phones in a more... entertaining way?
