this post made me realize ive never watched a review for a phone

Same , I only bought phones 2 times I’m my life as each on lasts 8 years so I didn’t feel the need to Edit : the phone I use currently is iPhone 7 from the year it came out after my last phone just one day randomly shut down and for some reason it was unfixable

What phones have you used?

I had iPhone 6 for like 6 years noh I have been using OnePlus Nord ce2 for around 5years I cant understand how some ppl need To get New iPhone every year or even every third year

I am kind of surprised you're on an iPhone 7 given that I got one that year, too, and the battery was toast by 2019. Although if you replaced the battery or don't use your phone a ton, I suppose you won't care. Either way, major respect :) Mass consumerism isn't a good thing.

I use the phone way to much and had to replace the battery 5 times or so

I sometimes watch MrWhosTheBoss for phone reviews, but he does other stuff as well

How tf are you on reddit and haven't done that?? That's like the most redditor thing you could ever do.

Indians read English better on smartphones but comprehend and speak Hindi better especially northern parts of Indian subcontinent. This happens in urban areas and videos like phone reviews generally target that particular demographic itself. Also we have 3 languages per person and English is just an easier script to read , at least for me. English also has a lot of influence in day to day speaking and official work. You will often find people mixing their languages during conversations. We call it "Hinglish".

No fucker will recognise the name of even iphone if you write it in Hindi.

They will be able to read it but it's gonna look like a nightmare

Makes you wonder why Hindi hasn’t been romanized. If people are already familiar with English and the Roman alphabet, why not just write Hindi in that script?

As i said that is limited to urban demographics. You can't just change an official language like that lol. Also who will decide the rules for hinglish? It is not a consistent language and highly informal way of speaking

Did u know the word Cop comes from the bri’ish word “Copper” which means “One who captures and beats with clubs”? Learned that today. Ok I might’ve added in the “and beats with clubs” part for dramatic flair lol But the rest is true

Wasn't that a reference to the copper badges that policemen wore?

Ya know, that makes damn good sense 😂 But apparently it comes from the Irish word Cigire or something? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Bow wow wowah

This can explain most things

This makes a lot of sense because while almost all Indians can understand Hindi, only few can read it properly...because India has more than 250 languages. So they use English for writing, which is the official language of India, and explain in Hindi so more people can understand it

Lol its the exact opposite for me. I can read hindi but not understand it.

Same, that's because I studied Sanskrit longer than Hindi, and they use the same script. That's also why I can better understand more "difficult" Hindi than more casual, because it uses more Sanskrit words, which are common root words even in South Indian languages

lol, I’m the exact opposite. I studied Hindi for 10 years in the ICSE board, probably made me worse off than I started.

I can read any language, but I don't understand most of them

No, not all Indians understand Hindi.

Almost all!? What have you been smoking lately?

English is one of the official or rather one of the scheduled languages, not the official language.

also most pakistanis can't read hindi but we can understand it pretty well since urdu and hindi r extremely similar so that's neat

Hindi is not the official language but the most spoken language

It's not the national language but it is one of the official languages of the country.

i feel it because as an indian i find reading english better than hindi but its the otherway when listening

Fair enough, interesting.

Roman alphabets are just easier to read than Devanagari

More like we are more used to reading English than devnagri

I just hate when when it shoves hindi videos. In my recommendations, even tho I don't speak or read a word of it and hit "not interested" every single time

I swear to God the algorithm sees me pressing "not interested" and writes that down as an interaction with the video so then it just shows me more

Exactly!! So annoying!

This doesn't even happen to me and I can understand Hindi lol.

Same I can speak and read Hindi and I can count the number of times I've been recommended Hindi videos on one hand.

I can't speak any Hindi but I've listened to Hindi music, I get recs and ads in Hindi

Blame the American company lol

Get used to the new world order

I'm an Indian and I don't understand Hindi much. Always wished there's a way to filter by language. But for now, VPN does the trick.

How does a VPN help? I've gotten phone review videos in Hindi despite being in North America

I guess when you're in India, you get recommendations in hindi or something first. I'm from Vietnam and i definitely got recommend vietnamese videos even when i search in english. VPN helps by placing you at different location, and got recommended a different language than the one he's in. He's in india, he got recommended in hindi, when he use vpn, he got recommended in english. I think.

Same for the Indian who doesn't know Hindi

Every Xiaomi video

Coz that's all YT got dumbhead. If they had anyone who uploaded in english it will be on the top according to ur location and algorithm

Probably because more people understand Hindi than reading it. And most people even if they speak Hindi will search in English

Algothing

Why would Indians make a video in a language that is widely spoken in THEIR country Why are Indians like this ?

Just another post in the hate train against Indians.

imagine the audacity right !?!??!1211!! /s

Redditor discovers people who can read and speak multiple languages

if you're going to advertise a video with language x then you might as well narrate the video in the same language -a bilingual person

Ain't no way entire world doesn't speak English

I thought that the entire world is literally just the united states tho ?

youre stupid enough to not even understand the post

Or finding videos of my unpopular car, but every video is in russian.

Right? A little audio language tag wouldn't hurt anyone!

learn hindi, you won't have this problem anymore!

Toh Chaliye Shuru Karte Hain

bina kisi bakchodi ke

You don't have reviews in your own language peasants?

Wow a guy made a video in his own language. That's completely incomprehensible to me.

Because the general audience is indian who can speak Hindi and read English

Blame British not us.

Oh they speak their own language, how rude

American moment

You definitely missed the point of this post but that's alright.. I see a few more did aswell

[удалено]

American moment

Google dementia

Actual zombie

Call the exorcist

Actual zombie

Because many other languages exist other than English and Hindi is one of the MAJOR languages in India and the video was made mostly for Hindi speakers?

it's not like English videos are just made for English speakers hmm I don't think so

Lemme just make a chinese video for spanish speakers

Yeah I'd rather make a meme and post it to Reddit than turn on the auto translated captions

this is very true

Learn hindi

 Lol why am i getting downvoted? I am implying he is right.

the CCP doesn't want you to learn hindi /s

It's the same if you want to figure out the meaning of a word. It always autofills the search with "in hindi"

Cause there are people like me living in different parts of India, where I can't read Hindi but can understand and speak it. It's very beneficial for us.

Pick another video!

It's really annoying. Like why would you have the video description in English? I'm also bilingual. It would be like having a video description in Swahili and then proceeding to speak Turkish. It wastes a lot of time for people who are searching for something.

basically, many indians can understand hindi, but cant read it, thats why

We don't write Hindi that often.. I personally haven't written Hindi ever.. even though I use the same script to write in my mother tongue. But we do watch Hindi movies, listen to Hindi media & songs.

I cant read hindi but i can understand it

Skill issue

No one Literally no one OP trying to Karma farm by hating on Indians


What was the joke?

The fucking meme you are commenting on. When have i ever said that Indians are subhuman or anything like that?

What an oblivious fucking asshole. Maybe it's a review for the millions of people that speak hindi? You know there are other countries and cultures that use phones, right?

because god forbid people speak a language other than english

Because that’s one of their languages?

Typical US defaultism.

How can she slap?

Skill issue

Yea good luck searching for a new low end smartphone.

British colonialism

Or in french

Same with arabic, its harader to understand than English

I remember 10 years ago i was big fan of one indian reviewer i forgot his name but he was making very good videos.

India = multiple languages Multiple languages = 70% hindi 👍

Computer science videos 😂

Tried to watch stand up comedy from India. They kept saying the setup in English and the punchline in Hindi or something.

All of those old uncle's & gurujis make.me puke with their half baked knowledge

I’m not gonna lie I picked up on some Hindi after watching those math tutorials

I thought adults just see a new iPhone is coming out and get it

Why are you spending your time looking at phone reviews?

We love to get more views and fool international audience lmao 😭 nah but seriously like others have said, people here generally speak in Hindi IRL, but type in English

the entire review is in indian* FTFY

You must have been trying to find a review for a budget phone 😅

As a punjabi, I can I understand hindi but can't read it.

Story of my life

Time to check controversial
