check","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":156.0,"end_s":160.319,"text":"out and what bothered me about it right off the hop","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":159.04,"end_s":165.44,"text":"was that when you kind of shook the device around it would kind of flap","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":162.64,"end_s":170.48,"text":"now ASUS claims that they have well that not only was the zenfone 6 version of

a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":183.04,"end_s":187.68,"text":"triple camera here i will be interested to see if it's any","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":186.239,"end_s":192.64,"text":"good and this seems to work if you don't want to flip up but like what happens if you try to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":190.879,"end_s":195.92,"text":"flip it up with that thing on there okay let's turn it around to selfie camera","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":194.159,"end_s":200.72,"text":"here how does it know so this is like the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":199.239,"end_s":204.72,"text":"anti-selfie switch if you like hate selfies you can","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":203.04,"end_s":208.64,"text":"just you can make it impossible to take a selfie because there is no","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":206.879,"end_s":211.84,"text":"traditional front-facing camera on this device whatsoever anyway i'm not","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":210.4,"end_s":220.0,"text":"a huge fan of this case so i'm just gonna i'm gonna take it off we're gonna have a look at the camera flip here","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":216.319,"end_s":220.4,"text":"still does it it seems like they've got","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":220.0,"end_s":226.08,"text":"some really interesting mitigation strategies in place here though check this out so","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":224.319,"end_s":230.64,"text":"watch this if i shake it around and it pops out it's like hey hey that's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":229.519,"end_s":237.68,"text":"not where it's supposed to be and it puts it back interesting hey okay how about how","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":235.04,"end_s":237.68,"text":"strong is it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":238.84,"end_s":244.56,"text":"okay oh wow so it gives you about five","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":243.92,"end_s":249.439,"text":"attempts and then it does that three times before it's like hey stop","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":249.84,"end_s":255.92,"text":"i mean if it's as durable as ASUS says it is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":253.36,"end_s":259.84,"text":"looks great i mean compared to being stuck with","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":256.72,"end_s":261.6,"text":"the like crappy front-facing camera that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":259.84,"end_s":267.36,"text":"you'd normally have like even a non-pixel non-iphone

absolutely","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":268.16,"end_s":272.479,"text":"destroy the front-facing camera on even","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":271.36,"end_s":277.44,"text":"those devices like obviously this is way sharper so","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":275.6,"end_s":282.4,"text":"the primary camera on this puppy is a sony 64 megapixel sensor with an f","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":280.4,"end_s":286.8,"text":"1.8 lens on it you can really see like wow that is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":285.04,"end_s":291.919,"text":"really sharp for a selfie picture because obviously it is it shoots up to 8k video","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":289.84,"end_s":296.24,"text":"and has optical image stabilization that's one of the differences between","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":293.6,"end_s":299.52,"text":"the non-pro and the pro model and then the other cameras","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":297.36,"end_s":303.52,"text":"let's uh go ahead and switch to the yep the ultra wide so this is a 12

makes","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":305.68,"end_s":312.08,"text":"this a tier 2 camera you can really see a stark","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":309.919,"end_s":314.56,"text":"difference in my skin tones going from one of the sensors to the other now","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":313.52,"end_s":318.16,"text":"that's an inherent thing when you change the sensor like on","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":317.199,"end_s":321.68,"text":"a camera these are completely different

they","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":337.039,"end_s":341.6,"text":"actually don't even advertise how many megapixels that sensor is which is a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":340.479,"end_s":345.28,"text":"super weird move we could find that out relatively easily","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":345.479,"end_s":349.919,"text":"3264 by 2448 8 megapixels on the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":348.96,"end_s":354.96,"text":"telephoto so if pop-up's not a choice it's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":352.479,"end_s":357.28,"text":"basically this versus a hole punch or a notch","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":357.36,"end_s":363.52,"text":"really i mean me too you would think based on that pretty much every design","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":361.759,"end_s":368.96,"text":"out there has a hole punch or a notch in it that generally consumers would prefer that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":366.24,"end_s":371.6,"text":"but like no i i absolutely think this is way better","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":373.039,"end_s":380.08,"text":"whoa if you hold the volume button","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":376.8,"end_s":381.919,"text":"it like

fantastic performance but the issue is that it was also super bulky and heavy and a little awkward to use if you're not you know laser focused on gaming so oh wow this is really heavy too um so what i was gonna say was so i have extremely high hopes for what appears on paper to be kind of like an rog phone three except for the more general consumer this is the zenfone 7 pro and i think ASUS has done an absolutely fantastic job with the look of this thing check this out what do you think of this color brandon right exactly like depending on the angle it can actually look completely black or it can look black but with like kind of a green ASUS logo or you get this shimmer looks really cool let's get the unboxing out of the way though so oops in here we've got a case wow honestly feels awful that's weird it actually includes two cases in the box who includes two cases in their box that is so weird this one feels uh quite a bit better i mean it's not it's not perfect or anything but definitely quite a bit better and i don't understand what just happened here so there's a little flippy like doodle that seems to be designed to what hold the camera in place because yes that is one of the killer features of the zenfone 7 pro okay you also get a quick charger i think it charges at up to 30 watts or something like that get one of those yup 30 watt charger usb type-c to type c cable and boom an all-screen display or an all display front or wow what do you call that anyway the point is there's no notch no hole punch no interruptions and ASUS achieves this by integrating a flip up style camera just like they did on their zenfone 6 series now i never actually covered the zenfone 6 series and the reason for it was that i was really not happy with the the camera flip mechanism so that's the first thing i want to check out and what bothered me about it right off the hop was that when you kind of shook the device around it would kind of flap now ASUS claims that they have well that not only was the zenfone 6 version of it far more durable than people expected but that they have redesigned it to the point where it can handle i think it's 200 flips a day or 100 flips a day every day for five years and apparently it's like stronger now and there's more contact points it's a triple camera here i will be interested to see if it's any good and this seems to work if you don't want to flip up but like what happens if you try to flip it up with that thing on there okay let's turn it around to selfie camera here how does it know so this is like the anti-selfie switch if you like hate selfies you can just you can make it impossible to take a selfie because there is no traditional front-facing camera on this device whatsoever anyway i'm not a huge fan of this case so i'm just gonna i'm gonna take it off we're gonna have a look at the camera flip here still does it it seems like they've got some really interesting mitigation strategies in place here though check this out so watch this if i shake it around and it pops out it's like hey hey that's not where it's supposed to be and it puts it back interesting hey okay how about how strong is it okay oh wow so it gives you about five attempts and then it does that three times before it's like hey stop i mean if it's as durable as ASUS says it is looks great i mean compared to being stuck with the like crappy front-facing camera that you'd normally have like even a non-pixel non-iphone like tier 2 rear-facing camera is going to absolutely destroy the front-facing camera on even those devices like obviously this is way sharper so the primary camera on this puppy is a sony 64 megapixel sensor with an f 1.8 lens on it you can really see like wow that is really sharp for a selfie picture because obviously it is it shoots up to 8k video and has optical image stabilization that's one of the differences between the non-pro and the pro model and then the other cameras let's uh go ahead and switch to the yep the ultra wide so this is a 12 megapixel affair and see this is one of the things that makes this a tier 2 camera you can really see a stark difference in my skin tones going from one of the sensors to the other now that's an inherent thing when you change the sensor like on a camera these are completely different imaging pipelines but when you're google or when you're apple you do a better job of your post-processing to match them let's go ahead and switch to our telephoto wow that one's got like kind of a blue or purple cast to it that really that really does not look amazing they actually don't even advertise how many megapixels that sensor is which is a super weird move we could find that out relatively easily 3264 by 2448 8 megapixels on the telephoto so if pop-up's not a choice it's basically this versus a hole punch or a notch really i mean me too you would think based on that pretty much every design out there has a hole punch or a notch in it that generally consumers would prefer that but like no i i absolutely think this is way better whoa if you hold the volume button it like look at this ASUS what do you guys have in mind for this why would i want like pew pew pew i'm taking pictures that's hilarious definitely a party trick this video is brought to you by audible listen to your favorite audiobooks with the free audible app you can choose any

specs of this puppy at all so it's running a snapdragon 865 processor it's got six or eight gigs of RAM and 128 gigs or 256 gigs of storage and what's cool is the storage is actually expandable so you've got your sim card slot over here and that also has a micro sd holder in it in terms of the rest of the physicality of this puppy on the bottom we've got a usb type-c port as well as a speaker got your microphones down there as well and then over on the right i like this actually you've got your volume rocker and then your lock button that can actually be reconfigured with double presses and long presses to activate other things up at the top nothing but the flip camera so there's no headphone jack now one thing about this device that might be a little controversial is the fingerprint sensor ASUS broke the mold and actually went with a side mounted fingerprint sensor on the lock button and i don't know how i feel about this okay one thing i would have to one thing i would have to see is if i can unlock it without picking up the device so why don't we give why don't we give that a shot so if i were to just touch the side of this phone that's not bad oh you got to kind of get the spot right though what if i just kind of drag my oh so i just give my phone a little tickle you know what i actually i don't mind that i'm not a huge fan of auto wick i actually like just pressing a button to wake my device so having the fingerprint sensor integrated there makes a ton of sense to me there's some other nice creature comforts here one of the first things i noticed firing it up is oh yeah got that high refresh rate display really does make a big difference now it's not 144 hertz like the rg phone three or anything like that it's 90 hertz but to me the difference between 60 and 90 is like an enormous leap forward whereas the difference between 90 and 120 or 144 outside of you know extreme hardcore gaming i really don't see it making that big of a difference to the experience especially because it comes at the expense of battery life the other thing that makes me really happy about the screen is that it doesn't look bad like it's pretty it's pretty normal for manufacturers to you know have like the vibrancy absolutely cranked right out of the box but out of the box on this it's fine i did end up preferring to set splendid to i think it was standard and then a little bit of a cooler color temperature but even in their more vivid modes it's not intolerable like you used to see with like older samsung devices for example it's an OLED display so you can expect you know perfect blacks and ASUS claims and i have no reason not to believe them whatsoever that they've achieved delta e's of less than one on this display it actually looks freaking awesome oh one thing i want to know is if we have stereo audio and using some extra lengths of wires impromptu cable ties to keep this mess under control the final step is to install the speakers don't sound great to ASUS credit though they do have an amplified earpiece speaker so i'm really happy to see that so the screen honestly really happy with it goes up to 700 nits for outdoor reading that's not the highest on the market by any stretch of the imagination but it's good enough that you'll be able to comfortably use it outdoors color accurate OLED nice fast pixel response times and high refresh rate sounds good but the thing that might hold me back from daily driving a phone like this is the bulk and the weight but i guess that's kind of par for the course when you put a 5 000 milliamp hour battery in here and that seems to be right in line with ASUS's vision for this device is it seems to be like the phone that you're not going to have to switch out for a long time because you're going to be able to take great selfies because you're actually using your rear camera to take selfies for the longest time like in three years i doubt there will be phones with better selfie cameras than the rear camera on this one which you'll use for your selfies the battery it's 5 000 milliamp hours and this is really cool they've included a ton of battery optimization tricks that normally you would have to kind of micromanage yourself you can say i only want to charge my battery up to 80 which by the way is still 4 000 milliamp hours and that's gonna make your battery not just last a long time for the day but last a long time for its entire life and there's some other really cool stuff here too like you can tell it to only top up the battery you know in the hour and a half before 7am when i normally wake up that way it's not just sitting there holding a charge all night which is also really bad for it now the device doesn't include wireless charging which i think some people could see as a negative these days from a longevity standpoint i can see why they might not include it because it does generate more heat in the battery which can make it not last for as long so what is ASUS created here it's a phone that i can't find an obvious flaw in like even just you know taking a couple quick pictures obviously this is not a comprehensive camera test but just a couple quick pictures here i can see greens are a little bit too boosted uh reds are a little bit muted like yeah there's definitely still work for them to do on their color science but it's absolutely usable like even b-tier camera processing has come a long way and there's a lot else going for it high refresh rate display nice big battery honestly i think jesus kind of has a winner on their hands here this is the kind of phone that i could see using for you know three four five years as long as ASUS supports it so this is something that i think some Android manufacturer i'd love to see it be ASUS needs to just step up to the plate and say we're gonna support these devices for as long as apple supports an iphone can you do it ASUS let's see hopefully you guys enjoyed this first look at the zenfone 7 pro make sure you subscribe so you don't miss any more of our videos i actually have one coming that's going to be a lot of fun we're going to unbox this oh it's heavy oh main gear gaming pc see ya"}
