Well here is my first post in a while on frankietechvideos.com. Since my last post I have travelled to the US and Thailand. I have been in multiple cities including Washington DC, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Bangkok, and the travel doesn’t stop there! Next week I’ll be flying to London and then returning to fly to Okinawa for my birthday celebration. Throughout all of this travel though, I have managed to keep creating content, while checking out all the latest phones and tech. It’s been a crazy busy time! Yet this week something happened that I feel I need to reflect on: The Redmi India K20 Series “What the world has to say” video.

On Thursday, July 11th a Tweet dropped from Redmi India about their latest big phone launch. The K20 Series was about to go on Alpha sale in the country so the company created a flashy new 45 second video hyping up the phone. I had actually been reached out by the company to use some footage from one my videos. I accepted but always believed it to be used in some very obscure promotional content. (Here’s the link in case you haven’t seen it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCKsvNfgvPg)

The video starts to the tune of EDM synths. “The Reviews are In… The Hype is Real”. There was nothing too out of this world so far from the typical promotional videos I’d seen, with top Youtube tech stars like Unbox Therapy and Mrwhosetheboss being featured. Yet right at the moment the beat dropped, something miraculous happened. I found myself seeing a very familiar sight, and hearing a very familiar voice. THATS ME! I couldn’t believe it. By the end of the video I just sat there completely shocked and stupefied by what I had just seen. I had to play it again just confirm I wasn’t going crazy. “Here’s what @Unboxtherapy, @Mrwhosetheboss & @Frankie_tech, leading global tech reviewers, have to say about #RedmiK20Pro” Those words, that tweet, that video. They will forever be imprinted in my mind as the moment when things became real, when this crazy experiment that started just 13 months back became something special.

This post is not meant to sound self congratulatory, and if it does I apologize. I just feel there are times in life when you just need to stop, breathe and soak it all in. So often in life we’re so quick to move to the next thing that we don’t stop to smell the roses. I’ve made it a point to myself to stop and reflect this time. Will there possibly be bigger moments in my channel and journey in tech in the future? I hope so. And is this ultimately a very small event in the grand scheme of things? Definitely. But this is a moment that I will look back to and cherish for a long time.

To all of you guys who have been here since day one, or to any of you who just joined this crazy ride that is Frankie Tech, I say a very deep and heartfelt thank you. Without you none of this would be possible. And a special shout out to my wonderful wife and companion, whose flexibility and support have allowed me to follow my dreams. I love you louh poh!

Now enough talking (or typing!) Lets get back to work… This is Frankie Tech signing off!

The moment it happened… still pinching myself!
