IFA 2020: These are Germany's most popular tech YouTubers

Since the launch of YouTube, more and more technology enthusiasts have been sharing their knowledge with the world in entertaining vlogs. The opinions of influencers are playing an increasingly important role in the product choices of Germans and their reviews and unboxing videos have long since inspired millions - especially young people, but also adults. At Galaxus Deutschland, we have found out who the 60 most influential tech YouTubers from Germany are and present the five stars of the scene:

Place 1: AlexiBexi (1.42 million subscribers)

With more than one million subscribers, AlexiBexi aka Alexander Böhm is the most popular tech influencer in Germany. Initially less focused on technology, he quickly gained popularity by dubbing English-language songs into German and answering questions as "Erklärbar". Today, he devotes himself almost exclusively to reviews of the latest smartphones, computers, gadgets and e-vehicles. In one of his latest pranks, he takes a close look at the iMac 2020:

Vanmoof S3, OnePlus Nord & Co.: The most popular products this summer

The best-known tech YouTubers are usually among the lucky ones who are the first to hold a new smartphone, tablet or gadget in their hands and test it. This is not the only reason why their reviews are clicked thousands of times after just a few days - a good indicator of the trend factor! So which products are the most eagerly awaited? One of the most popular videos at the moment is from iKnowReview and takes its fans on a test ride of the new S3 e-bike from Vanmoof. Also trending is the new mid-range flagship killer OnePlus Nord and its review by AlexiBexi. Almost as popular, with more than 150,000 views, is the test of the Huawei P40 Pro by the tech sloth.
