10 Best YouTube Tech Influencers of 2025 (The Good, the Geeky, and the Glitter Bomb Enthusiasts)
In 2025, YouTube’s tech scene is a wild jungle of unboxings, AI rants, and gadgets that probably spy on your cat. But fear not! We’ve braved the algorithm to bring you the top 10 tech influencers who haven’t yet sold their souls to sponsored content (mostly). You better buckle up for a tour of charisma, chaos, and the occasional accidental explosion.
1. Marques Brownlee (@MKBHD) The Tech Whisperer
“If Apple made a human, it’d be Marques.”
With a voice smoother than an OLED display, MKBHD remains YouTube’s undisputed tech king. His 2025 pivot to dissecting AI ethics while unboxing $5,000 folding phones has made him the go-to for actual informed opinions. Fun fact: His “studio lights” budget could fund a small country’s GDP.
Why He’s Here:
– Signature Move: Reviews so detailed, they include the molecular structure of phone cases.
– 2025 Flex: Launched a viral series debunking tech myths (spoiler: your AirPods can survive a washing machine).
2. Arun Maini (@Mrwhosetheboss) The British Gadget Tornado
“Talks about tech like it’s a caffeine-fuelled TED Talk.”
Arun’s channel is a chaotic mix of smartphone battles, AI deep dives, and existential questions like “Why does my toaster need Bluetooth?” In 2025, he’s doubling down on testing tech durability by dropping gadgets from drones (RIP, Samsung Galaxy S25).
Why He’s Here:
– Vibe Check: Merges tech reviews with philosophical musings about the Metaverse.
– 2025 Drama: Accidentally revealed Apple’s AR glasses prototype live then blamed his dog.
3. Mark Rober (@MarkRober) The Glitter Bomb Guy
“Engineers gadgets so petty, they belong in a Marvel villain’s lair.”
Rober’s 2025 content? Building AI-powered squirrel obstacle courses and another glitter bomb for porch pirates. His blend of science and spite has turned him into the Tony Stark of YouTube if Stark hated mail thieves more than Thanos.
Why He’s Here:
– 2025 Flex: Partnered with NASA to livestream a Mars rover controlled by Twitch chat. Chaos ensued.
– Best Quote: “Science isn’t about ‘why?’ it’s about ‘why not’?”
4. Lewis Hilsenteger (@UnboxTherapy) The Gadget Executioner
“Reviews tech like he’s auditioning for Forged in Fire.”
Lewis’s 2025 claim to fame? Bending, smashing, and microwaving gadgets until they beg for mercy. His “Will It Blend?” reboot (spoiler: no, but the smoke was epic) keeps 24 million subscribers glued.
Why He’s Here:
– 2025 Drama: Sued by Dyson after “testing” a $1,200 fan with a baseball bat.
– Legacy: Still riding high on that time he broke the internet with an iPhone bend test.
5. Safwan Ahmedmia (@SuperSaf) The Comparison Overlord
“Reviews phones like he’s judging the Tech Olympics.”
SuperSaf’s 2025 superpower? Comparing 17 smartphones in one video without passing out. His “Camera Shootout” series is so intense, even DSLRs get performance anxiety.
Why He’s Here:
– Signature Move: Declaring “This changes everything!” about incremental updates.
– 2025 Flex: Predicted the rise of foldable flip phones then unboxed one mid-air on a skydive.
6. Gaurav Chaudhary (@TechnicalGuruji) India’s Tech Guru
“Explains quantum computing like it’s a chapati recipe.”
With 22 million subscribers, Gaurav dominates India’s tech scene by simplifying AI, blockchain, and why your WhatsApp messages turn blue. His 2025 hustle? Reviewing ₹500 “Amazon miracle gadgets” that either revolutionize life or catch fire.
Why He’s Here:
– Vibe Check: Uses Bollywood memes to explain cybersecurity.
– 2025 Drama: Accidentally endorsed a “5G health necklace” and later clarified it was “just shiny.”
7. Linus Sebastian (@LinusTechTips) The PC Building Memelord
“Talks about RAM like it’s a sacred relic.”
Linus’s 2025 antics include building a PC submerged in coconut oil and reviewing a $10,000 gaming chair shaped like Iron Man’s helmet. His team’s bloopers (see: accidental SSD launches into orbit) are legendary.
Why He’s Here:
– 2025 Flex: Dropped a GPU so hard, it triggered an earthquake warning.
– Best Quote: “Overclocking is just legalized silicon abuse.”
8. Justine Ezarik (@iJustine) The Apple Evangelist
“Would marry her iPhone if it had a ring mode.”
iJustine’s 2025 content? Unboxing every Apple product while screaming “It’s so cuuuute!” Her review of the Vision Pro 3 involved “accidentally” wearing it for 72 hours straight.
Why She’s Here:
– Signature Move: Turning Siri into a therapy bot during mental breakdown unboxings.
– 2025 Drama: Leaked iOS 19 by filming a TikTok in Apple Park’s bathroom.
9. Zack Nelson (@JerryRigEverything) The Durability Sadist
“Scratches phones like he’s settling a vendetta.”
Zack’s 2025 schtick? Testing gadget durability with blowtorches, hydraulic presses, and actual hammers. His “Will It Snap?” series is an ASMR nightmare for tech CEOs.
Why He’s Here:
– 2025 Flex: Proved the Tesla Cybertruck’s windows can break… with a diamond.
– Legacy: Still salty about that one time he bent a Nokia.
10. Dave Lee (@Dave2D) The Laptop Whisperer
“Reviews MacBooks like they’re fine wine.”
Dave’s 2025 niche? Roasting overpriced laptops with dry wit and graphs that hurt shareholders’ feelings. His takedown of a $7,000 “AI-ready” notebook (“It’s just Chrome with a fan”) went viral.
Why He’s Here:
– Signature Move: Using analogies like “This GPU is the avocado toast of computing.”
– 2025 Drama: Got blocked by Dell’s CEO on Twitter. Twice.
Honourable Mentions For Tech Influencers (Because We Can’t Resist):
– @FlossyCarter: Reviews tech in gold chains while yelling “WHITE SHOES!”
– @GeekyRanjit: India’s king of budget tech, proving ₹10,000 phones can almost run Crysis.
Why These Tech Influencers Matter In 2025
We live in a world where AI writes scripts and drones deliver sponsored merch, these 10 humans keep tech content (mostly) real. They’re equal parts entertainers, educators, and accidental arsonists. Let’s face it, nothing says “innovation” like setting a gadget on fire for clicks.
So, whether you’re here for MKBHD’s soothing monotone or Mark Rober’s glitter vendettas, remember: In 2025, tech YouTube isn’t just about specs. It’s about personality, chaos, and the eternal quest to answer, “But will it blend?”
Mic drop. Or, in Zack Nelson’s case, hammer drop.
