1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:08,160
this is so ridiculous so this video is gonna have a couple of

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:12,000
firsts uh it won't be the first time that i've just like read off of a

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:16,720
product review guide because i don't know anything about the product but it

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,640
will be the first time that i'll have a juiced up edition phone

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:26,480
it will be the first time that i'll be showing off a fingerprint sensor

6
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:31,760
under the screen of a commercial product and it will be the first time that we

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:34,320
have shot an entire video on a

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:38,239
stabilized gimbal setup move it around move around

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:43,000
whoa look at that he's like he's walking man walk more brandon you got this

10
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:49,960
and this video is brought to you by pia

link in the video description

14
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:14,000
so vivo is a phone brand that we've never really checked out before in the

15
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:19,439
past but there are a couple of things about this guy that are actually

16
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:24,479
pretty interesting so first of all this is the first phone that i've yet to get

17
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:29,520
my hands on that has qualcomm's new snapdragon 660

18
00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:35,119
a i e processor in it so it's a i and like

19
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:39,360
experience engine

20
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:44,240
it was engine all right so let's fire this up it's running the fun touch os

21
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:47,920
which i think has to be the best name for an Android skin yet

22
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:53,920
and the first thing that you're going to notice about this thing is that

23
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:56,320
screen to bezel ratio they have actually

24
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:00,159
cracked the 90 barrier thanks to their use of a notch

25
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,479
which you can feel however you do or don't

26
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:09,440
feel about it it's a thing it's not going away and thanks to their use of an

27
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,480
under screen fingerprint sensor which also lets you not have the fingerprint

28
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:17,760
sensor on the back which some people like but i'm not personally a fan of

29
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:23,200
it's actually kind of amazing how few features you have to give up with like

30
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,560
these more value-oriented phones now

31
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:29,920
like it doesn't have wireless charging or anything but it at least has nfc

32
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:33,810
that's if i could find the antenna anywhere yeah

33
00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:36,879
does it not

34
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:41,519
connect it to the usb port

35
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:48,640
nope apparently still a thing no nfc

36
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:51,920
so this is it this is the big moment

37
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:54,000
add fingerprint four-digit password oh

38
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:58,319
wow they've got security questions what was the name of your primary school and

39
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:03,200
but central elementary

40
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:08,879
whenever the fingerprint sensor is active and it's under the screen right

41
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:11,280
here you can't see it pretty much at all

42
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:15,040
you're going to have this this blue and greeny kind of light up

43
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,519
better recognition with a slightly deeper press

44
00:03:18,959 --> 00:03:22,480
okay well it didn't get me that time

45
00:03:23,519 --> 00:03:25,920
okay

46
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:32,080
so it's pretty slow compared to some of

47
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:35,200
the more modern not under screen fingerprint sensors that we've become

48
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:40,959
used to it's especially noticeable when you compare this to uh shoot what phone was

49
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,400
that recently that i checked out where you could just swipe your finger down

50
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:50,640
the sensor right the s9 and it would register the whole thing

51
00:03:47,519 --> 00:03:52,560
this is this is pretty tedious

52
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:59,680
wow this thing is actually not that cheap so rumored pricing is around 36 000

53
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:04,319
indian rupees which would make it about 540

54
00:04:01,519 --> 00:04:09,519
us dollars so it's not up there with like flagship phone pricing but it's

55
00:04:06,799 --> 00:04:13,680
actually not that inexpensive here this is our first chance to take a look at

56
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:17,359
this functionality in action you see that

57
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:22,160
the OLED screen lights up bright that gives the sensor under the display

58
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:26,479
enough illumination to read the identifying ridges on your finger

59
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:32,160
okay let me try it again so ran for oh that's nice so it's got an OLED display

60
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:35,759
so that means that it can have just the fingerprint pixels active so you can

61
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:39,919
actually wake the whole thing without pressing

62
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:43,919
that's not bad you know what here why don't we just do like a a fingerprint

63
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:47,120
sensor speed test let me grab a couple of other devices and

64
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:52,960
uh here what do you want to start with do you

65
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,520
want to start with like the other like chinese brands or should i start with

66
00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:00,880
like something kind of more flagshipy like the s9

67
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:06,479
chinese brand okay so here it is next to the mix 2s

68
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:09,440
oh how do i the sensors are on either side okay you

69
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:14,400
guys are gonna have to take my word for it i'm pressing it at the same time one two three go

70
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:24,360
not bad it's not far off all right

71
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,360
pixel 2 xl

72
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:32,479
faster but not worlds faster like we're not talking iphone 6 here

73
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:40,880
uh is this embargoed i actually don't know uh

74
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,880
mate 10 pro

75
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,600
galaxy s9

76
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:53,199
iphone 10 my face id is broken so

77
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:57,360
no fingerprint sensor why did they take it off

78
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:02,000
right because they didn't have apparently the technology that

79
00:05:59,919 --> 00:06:04,800
vivo has i should do a video where i try and get

80
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:12,000
apple to fix it get started face id is not available

81
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,759
trying it later doesn't work by the way

82
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,280
so like any modern phone one of the big features is the camera

83
00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:21,120
so i'm just going to be testing the stabilization while i walk down the

84
00:06:19,039 --> 00:06:24,960
stairs and i'm also giving you guys a look at the stabilized rig that

85
00:06:23,039 --> 00:06:28,319
brandon's using to shoot this i don't know if i'm at the bottom yet how close

86
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:32,880
am i i don't know okay i'm at the bottom got this uh so

87
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:37,759
i've got an iphone 10 compared to the vivo x 21 here

88
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:41,600
hi taren i'm lacking stability with this door oh the iphone 10 handles that

89
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:46,800
backlight a lot better in spite of the ai camera features whoa

90
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:50,479
that's not helpful but thank you anyway so i actually really like taking test

91
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:55,039
pictures here because you've got this these really bright colors you've got

92
00:06:53,440 --> 00:07:00,639
this nice blue sky and then you've got these hard shadows and that's something

93
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:03,599
that even with HDR is quite difficult

94
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:08,080
for smartphone cameras to handle so now i want to see how it handles

95
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:11,280
lower light i mean that really is the main

96
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:15,360
difference for cell phone cameras these days is

97
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,840
how they handle processing the image as opposed to

98
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,199
the sensor is really getting a lot better generation by generation

99
00:07:23,599 --> 00:07:29,680
it just crashed huh i never thought i was going to

100
00:07:27,919 --> 00:07:34,080
capture that on camera since after i've done my review i have

101
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:36,160
had a few just random hard resets like that

102
00:07:35,039 --> 00:07:40,160
and i asked samsung about it and they were like no no idea what you're talking

103
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:45,759
about so this thing's got all kinds of tech

104
00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:51,520
that you might not expect on sort of a mainstream performance phone and it uses

105
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:56,720
micro usb what year is it

106
00:07:54,319 --> 00:08:01,520
does it have wireless charging i guess i could consult my

107
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:05,199
doodad here so the glass back is for looks

108
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:12,479
um and for feel and it actually does look and feel pretty good uh was not to

109
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:14,319
enable wireless charging anyway

110
00:08:12,479 --> 00:08:18,800
oh man that end screen unlocked that is so cool

111
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:23,360
i gotta give them credit the specs to price ratio

112
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:28,400
pretty impressive if that's correct because it's got 128 gigs of storage so

113
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:32,479
you can take a lot of those photos and six gigs of RAM

114
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:37,440
so overall impressions here are decent like obviously it captured the image but

115
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:42,560
it lost a lot of detail in the darkest parts of the scene here that was

116
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:44,800
retained by all of the other cameras

117
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:47,519
even if xiaomi didn't do a great job of their color science here you can tell

118
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:53,920
these greens are like these are like neon bushes and then as

119
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:55,519
for low light the pixel 2 xl and the s9

120
00:08:53,920 --> 00:09:02,560
plus were the ones that got the color closest and then the iphone 10 the mix 2s

121
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:07,120
and the vivo x21 all kind of land all yellow and have a

122
00:09:04,959 --> 00:09:10,399
lot of processing and noise artifacts yeah the x21 was the worst in the low

123
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:14,480
light scenario and the construction doesn't really

124
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:18,480
stand out either it's well balanced in the hand i've got to give them credit

125
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:22,560
for that and this curved glass back actually both looks and feels better in

126
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:26,640
person than the camera is probably capturing but i do have to say the way that

127
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:32,880
they've joined the front panel assembly here to the

128
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:34,640
rear casing uh is pretty last gen you

129
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:40,160
can see a very noticeable ridge between them

130
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:44,320
with all of that said though the screen

131
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:49,120
looks fantastic it really does feel like a giant display floating in your hand

132
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:54,160
the cost is very reasonable they ship it with an included screen protector and

133
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:57,600
lo and behold they weren't able to make it waterproof obviously that's not

134
00:09:55,839 --> 00:10:02,320
anywhere in the rating but it's got a headphone jack

135
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:08,160
so for the price i'm actually liking this thing a lot even though this was

136
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,160
far from an in-depth review

137
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:15,440
i've yet to see where they're going with the whole ai processor aspect of it

138
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:18,800
it's supposed to optimize both battery life in terms of

139
00:10:16,959 --> 00:10:21,839
giving less resources to stuff that you don't care about and more to stuff that

140
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:27,839
you do as well as helping with the camera but that's something that's going to

141
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:31,360
take time to continue to develop

142
00:10:27,839 --> 00:10:33,040
it wasn't giving us the audio quality

143
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,760
on the subject of audio quality that i might expect

144
00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:42,320
the speakers on this do leave a lot to be desired

145
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:46,800
synchronizing audio in post is fine for future films but it's a nightmare

146
00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:51,120
they get loud so that's not bad but i've actually come to expect now a powered

147
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:55,040
secondary speaker up here so you get a little bit of stereo effect at the very

148
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:59,120
least man that screen looks good though i love

149
00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:02,240
ultra wide displays which is why it's all the more a mystery why this isn't

150
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:06,720
stretching to the edges i'm gonna have to find something else

151
00:11:04,399 --> 00:11:10,720
for that man this display looks good for like a

152
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:16,240
value phone though isn't that crazy

153
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:17,839
even got p3 color space support

154
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:22,240
on the subject of things that are great value ting tang is the mobile carrier

155
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:27,519
that's focused on customer service and customer satisfaction and with ping you

156
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:31,760
don't have to pay for more than the air that you use all you got to do is go to

157
00:11:30,279 --> 00:11:37,360
