WEBVTT

00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:08.160
this is so ridiculous so this video is gonna have a couple of

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

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:16.720
product review guide because i don't know anything about the product but it

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:20.640
will be the first time that i'll have a juiced up edition phone

00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:26.480
it will be the first time that i'll be showing off a fingerprint sensor

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:31.760
under the screen of a commercial product and it will be the first time that we

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:34.320
have shot an entire video on a

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:38.239
stabilized gimbal setup move it around move around

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

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:49.960
and this video is brought to you by pia

00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:07.760
link in the video description

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:14.000
so vivo is a phone brand that we've never really checked out before in the

00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:19.439
past but there are a couple of things about this guy that are actually

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

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:29.520
my hands on that has qualcomm's new snapdragon 660

00:01:27.119 --> 00:01:35.119
a i e processor in it so it's a i and like

00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:39.360
experience engine

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

00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:47.920
which i think has to be the best name for an Android skin yet

00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:53.920
and the first thing that you're going to notice about this thing is that

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:56.320
screen to bezel ratio they have actually

00:01:53.920 --> 00:02:00.159
cracked the 90 barrier thanks to their use of a notch

00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:04.479
which you can feel however you do or don't

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

00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:12.480
under screen fingerprint sensor which also lets you not have the fingerprint

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:17.760
sensor on the back which some people like but i'm not personally a fan of

00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:23.200
it's actually kind of amazing how few features you have to give up with like

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:24.560
these more value-oriented phones now

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:29.920
like it doesn't have wireless charging or anything but it at least has nfc

00:02:28.160 --> 00:02:33.810
that's if i could find the antenna anywhere yeah

00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:36.879
does it not

00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:41.519
connect it to the usb port

00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:48.640
nope apparently still a thing no nfc

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:51.920
so this is it this is the big moment

00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:54.000
add fingerprint four-digit password oh

00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:58.319
wow they've got security questions what was the name of your primary school and

00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:03.200
but central elementary

00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:08.879
whenever the fingerprint sensor is active and it's under the screen right

00:03:04.640 --> 00:03:11.280
here you can't see it pretty much at all

00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:15.040
you're going to have this this blue and greeny kind of light up

00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:18.519
better recognition with a slightly deeper press

00:03:18.959 --> 00:03:22.480
okay well it didn't get me that time

00:03:23.519 --> 00:03:25.920
okay

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:32.080
so it's pretty slow compared to some of

00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:35.200
the more modern not under screen fingerprint sensors that we've become

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:40.959
used to it's especially noticeable when you compare this to uh shoot what phone was

00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:44.400
that recently that i checked out where you could just swipe your finger down

00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:50.640
the sensor right the s9 and it would register the whole thing

00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:52.560
this is this is pretty tedious

00:03:50.640 --> 00:03:59.680
wow this thing is actually not that cheap so rumored pricing is around 36 000

00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:04.319
indian rupees which would make it about 540

00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:09.519
us dollars so it's not up there with like flagship phone pricing but it's

00:04:06.799 --> 00:04:13.680
actually not that inexpensive here this is our first chance to take a look at

00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:17.359
this functionality in action you see that

00:04:14.640 --> 00:04:22.160
the OLED screen lights up bright that gives the sensor under the display

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:26.479
enough illumination to read the identifying ridges on your finger

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

00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:35.759
so that means that it can have just the fingerprint pixels active so you can

00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.919
actually wake the whole thing without pressing

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

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:47.120
sensor speed test let me grab a couple of other devices and

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:52.960
uh here what do you want to start with do you

00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:55.520
want to start with like the other like chinese brands or should i start with

00:04:54.560 --> 00:05:00.880
like something kind of more flagshipy like the s9

00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:06.479
chinese brand okay so here it is next to the mix 2s

00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:09.440
oh how do i the sensors are on either side okay you

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

00:05:16.880 --> 00:05:24.360
not bad it's not far off all right

00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:24.360
pixel 2 xl

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:32.479
faster but not worlds faster like we're not talking iphone 6 here

00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:40.880
uh is this embargoed i actually don't know uh

00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:40.880
mate 10 pro

00:05:42.400 --> 00:05:45.600
galaxy s9

00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:53.199
iphone 10 my face id is broken so

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:57.360
no fingerprint sensor why did they take it off

00:05:54.720 --> 00:06:02.000
right because they didn't have apparently the technology that

00:05:59.919 --> 00:06:04.800
vivo has i should do a video where i try and get

00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:12.000
apple to fix it get started face id is not available

00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:13.759
trying it later doesn't work by the way

00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:17.280
so like any modern phone one of the big features is the camera

00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:21.120
so i'm just going to be testing the stabilization while i walk down the

00:06:19.039 --> 00:06:24.960
stairs and i'm also giving you guys a look at the stabilized rig that

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

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:32.880
am i i don't know okay i'm at the bottom got this uh so

00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:37.759
i've got an iphone 10 compared to the vivo x 21 here

00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:41.600
hi taren i'm lacking stability with this door oh the iphone 10 handles that

00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:46.800
backlight a lot better in spite of the ai camera features whoa

00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:50.479
that's not helpful but thank you anyway so i actually really like taking test

00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:55.039
pictures here because you've got this these really bright colors you've got

00:06:53.440 --> 00:07:00.639
this nice blue sky and then you've got these hard shadows and that's something

00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:03.599
that even with HDR is quite difficult

00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:08.080
for smartphone cameras to handle so now i want to see how it handles

00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:11.280
lower light i mean that really is the main

00:07:09.520 --> 00:07:15.360
difference for cell phone cameras these days is

00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:17.840
how they handle processing the image as opposed to

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:23.199
the sensor is really getting a lot better generation by generation

00:07:23.599 --> 00:07:29.680
it just crashed huh i never thought i was going to

00:07:27.919 --> 00:07:34.080
capture that on camera since after i've done my review i have

00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:36.160
had a few just random hard resets like that

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

00:07:38.880 --> 00:07:45.759
about so this thing's got all kinds of tech

00:07:43.039 --> 00:07:51.520
that you might not expect on sort of a mainstream performance phone and it uses

00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:56.720
micro usb what year is it

00:07:54.319 --> 00:08:01.520
does it have wireless charging i guess i could consult my

00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:05.199
doodad here so the glass back is for looks

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

00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:14.319
enable wireless charging anyway

00:08:12.479 --> 00:08:18.800
oh man that end screen unlocked that is so cool

00:08:15.840 --> 00:08:23.360
i gotta give them credit the specs to price ratio

00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:28.400
pretty impressive if that's correct because it's got 128 gigs of storage so

00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:32.479
you can take a lot of those photos and six gigs of RAM

00:08:30.080 --> 00:08:37.440
so overall impressions here are decent like obviously it captured the image but

00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:42.560
it lost a lot of detail in the darkest parts of the scene here that was

00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:44.800
retained by all of the other cameras

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

00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:53.920
these greens are like these are like neon bushes and then as

00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:55.519
for low light the pixel 2 xl and the s9

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

00:08:59.680 --> 00:09:07.120
and the vivo x21 all kind of land all yellow and have a

00:09:04.959 --> 00:09:10.399
lot of processing and noise artifacts yeah the x21 was the worst in the low

00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:14.480
light scenario and the construction doesn't really

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

00:09:15.920 --> 00:09:22.560
for that and this curved glass back actually both looks and feels better in

00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:26.640
person than the camera is probably capturing but i do have to say the way that

00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:32.880
they've joined the front panel assembly here to the

00:09:29.040 --> 00:09:34.640
rear casing uh is pretty last gen you

00:09:32.880 --> 00:09:40.160
can see a very noticeable ridge between them

00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:44.320
with all of that said though the screen

00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:49.120
looks fantastic it really does feel like a giant display floating in your hand

00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:54.160
the cost is very reasonable they ship it with an included screen protector and

00:09:51.920 --> 00:09:57.600
lo and behold they weren't able to make it waterproof obviously that's not

00:09:55.839 --> 00:10:02.320
anywhere in the rating but it's got a headphone jack

00:10:00.160 --> 00:10:08.160
so for the price i'm actually liking this thing a lot even though this was

00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:08.160
far from an in-depth review

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

00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.800
it's supposed to optimize both battery life in terms of

00:10:16.959 --> 00:10:21.839
giving less resources to stuff that you don't care about and more to stuff that

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

00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:31.360
take time to continue to develop

00:10:27.839 --> 00:10:33.040
it wasn't giving us the audio quality

00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.760
on the subject of audio quality that i might expect

00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:42.320
the speakers on this do leave a lot to be desired

00:10:39.839 --> 00:10:46.800
synchronizing audio in post is fine for future films but it's a nightmare

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

00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:55.040
secondary speaker up here so you get a little bit of stereo effect at the very

00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:59.120
least man that screen looks good though i love

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

00:11:00.800 --> 00:11:06.720
stretching to the edges i'm gonna have to find something else

00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:10.720
for that man this display looks good for like a

00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:16.240
value phone though isn't that crazy

00:11:12.560 --> 00:11:17.839
even got p3 color space support

00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:22.240
on the subject of things that are great value ting tang is the mobile carrier

00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:27.519
that's focused on customer service and customer satisfaction and with ping you

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

00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:37.360
Linus.ting.com we're going to have that linked in the video description you enter your last few bills and how much

00:11:34.880 --> 00:11:41.200
you paid for them and it will spit out how much money you would save on ting

00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:45.440
the average ting bill is just 23 bucks a month per device ting has a program

00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:51.600
where if you're stuck in a contract and you want to switch to them they'll pay 25 of your cancellation fee up to 75

00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:55.920
bucks and just by using our link you can get 25 bucks towards your service or

00:11:54.079 --> 00:11:59.680

cool shirts like this one and our community forum which you should totally

00:12:13.920 --> 00:12:19.120
join you know as far as Android skins go this

00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:23.440
is far from the worst that i've seen i actually really like the uh

00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:27.040
the pull-up tray that they got going on here

00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:30.240
it's kind of uh iosc other than the iphone tiny
