MKBHD Update 10.3 is a compact channel update in which Marques Brownlee explains that, despite a busy end-of-year schedule, he committed to delivering content and shared an update on several devices and upcoming reviews. He describes his recent Reddit AMA where he answered hundreds of questions about YouTube, life, and gadget recommendations, noting that the AMA was among the top upvoted discussions on the site at the time. The video provides hands-on notes about several products: the Nexus 6 wireless charging experience, which remains picky about placement and contact with the charger’s center, and the lack of magnetic alignment due to the rounded back; a comparison for the OnePlus One’s Sandstone Black 64 GB variant versus the white 32 GB model, highlighting wear concerns with scratches on the Sandstone Black finish; impressions of the Motorola Moto 360 metal version as a premium, well-built wearable that requires sizing in-store; and an update on the 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro painted by ColorWare showing no visible nicks or wear. He mentions ongoing work on reviews for the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, the Droid Turbo on Verizon, and the Nexus 9 tablet, which features front-facing speakers, a high-resolution display, and Android 5.0, while inviting viewer suggestions for future videos and holiday content like gift guides. The update also includes a milestone note that the channel was approaching 2 million subscribers, with a welcome message to new viewers and an invitation to follow on Twitter for more updates, before signing off with a teaser of upcoming videos and a promise to return soon with more essays and content.

Questions answered

What is the status of Nexus 6 wireless charging, and what makes it tricky to get charging to work?
The Nexus 6 wireless charging now works but requires precise placement, about 2.5 inches above the bottom of the phone, with the contact centered on the charger; the rounded back and lack of magnets make stable placement important.
