Mini bio
How it started.
Arun’s interest in phone videos began after his brother bought him an Android phone at 14. He learned to customise and improve it, then started sharing what he knew on YouTube. Early videos often featured devices he already owned or could borrow.
The breakthrough.
In August 2015, his smartphone hologram tutorial reached a much wider audience. Arun told TechRound that the response showed him what the channel could become. After graduating in 2017, he turned down a PwC job offer and committed to YouTube.
Bigger experiments.
The channel now spans reviews, unusual gadgets and large builds. In 2024, Arun teamed up with Matthew Perks of DIY Perks on a working, oversized iPhone 15 Pro Max. Guinness World Records recognised it as the largest smartphone replica. The project celebrated passing Apple’s YouTube subscriber count.
