1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,440
Fine, I heard you. You guys aren't happy I bought an iPhone. That's okay. How

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,720
about we take a look at the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Will that make you

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:15,440
happy? To be very clear, I'm actually pretty excited to take a look at this

4
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:18,560
thing because of the display on it. This

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,840
phone is boasting the world's first

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:25,160
privacy display on mobile. I kind of want to see it in

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:29,360
action and see how well it works. Let's open it up here. That's all you get.

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,119
Is there a cable, please? It's going to be like, man, this fastest unboxing

9
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:37,600
ever. Oh. Oh, hold on. Okay, good. We do still

10
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:40,680
get a cable. At least they haven't fully taken everything from us yet. I want to

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:46,400
see how long this does not look like a very long cable though. >> [laughter] >> It's probably about 3 ft.

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,920
Something like that. Definitely not the longest cable we've

13
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:53,000
seen with phones. Man, these phone unboxings are real quick because that

14
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:57,680
was it. We're straight into the phone here. Oh, got to do our peel.

15
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:02,680
Oh, yeah. Man, I'm going to be bringing out my phone a lot to do comparisons to in

16
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:06,560
terms of just weight and overall feel. I'm actually quite impressed. It is a

17
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:10,120
little bit thinner than their S25 and in turn means it's a little bit lighter.

18
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:13,880
And in our case, we got the What color is this? They call this the cobalt

19
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:17,920
violet. When it catches the light, it actually looks like kind of cool. I like

20
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:22,120
the looks of it. What I don't like Oh man, if you've seen me unbox phones,

21
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:26,480
you know this. I am a freaking camera bump hater and that is a whole other

22
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:30,080
phone as far as I'm concerned on top. Look Oh my goodness, can you see like

23
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,000
how much this thing is going to rock when you lay it down, dude? I guess

24
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,920
while we're looking at the rest of the outside, let's go all the way around

25
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:40,640
here. So, on our right side, you've got our power and our volume rockers right

26
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:46,760
there. On the bottom, you've got your SIM tray, one of your speakers, your

27
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:48,280
USB-C, and yay, the stylus. Which

28
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:52,040
Listen, I've heard there's some drama around and I need to verify this. I

29
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:55,880
don't believe it has Bluetooth this year. That's going to be a real downer

30
00:01:53,960 --> 00:02:00,880
for me. When I used to have my Note, I had a Note 20 back in the day. I used my

31
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:04,280
pen as like a camera remote. So, you could set up your phone as your camera.

32
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:09,759
You just take the pen out. You go and get in your group photo and you're like, cheese, and you could take the photo. It

33
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:14,040
was the coolest thing ever. Removing Bluetooth seems like an unnecessary

34
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:17,551
change, but Oh crap, does it only go in one way?

35
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:21,040
Oh, it does. I >> [music] >> Why would they do that? That seems so

36
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:26,520
dumb. So, you can see the tip here is slightly curved to match the curve of

37
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,960
the phone. And that is why you can only

38
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:32,040
put it in one direction. It's pretty basic around

39
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:36,720
the outside. I mean, I don't know what you really expect unless you're getting like a Red Magic phone or something

40
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:40,400
that's got like liquid cooling. The All phones are kind of pretty basic. [music]

41
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,880
But let's power this thing on cuz I am really interested in seeing that

42
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:47,160
display. Before I turn on the privacy settings of the display, let's talk

43
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:52,240
about the specs of the display. This is a 6.9-in AMOLED 2X screen. It's

44
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,480
featuring the Corning Gorilla Armor 2, so you know, hopefully it'll stay nice

45
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:58,920
and protected. We'll find out later. I'm not going to drop it though.

46
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:04,600
We'll see if it can survive my tests today. The resolution itself, it is 3120

47
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:09,240
by 1440 and the refresh rate can go all the way down to 1 Hz and all the way up

48
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:13,560
to a 120 Hz that you would expect on a premium flagship phone like this. The 1

49
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:17,680
Hz is really, really nice. For example, if you just have this laying on your bedside table, not really doing

50
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:21,880
anything, basically just displaying the clock, being able to go all the way down

51
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:27,160
to 1 Hz will probably last you all night with zero battery drain or very minimal

52
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:30,640
battery drain, which is awesome. I mean, unless your notifications are lighting

53
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:34,320
it up all the time. Okay, I I need to see this privacy. Where the heck do I go

54
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,760
to turn this on? Oh, it's right there. Right away from the control panel drop

55
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,960
down. Oh, you can see it does a little flash.

56
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:47,120
Okay, let's Whoa. Holy crap, this works so much

57
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:51,880
better than I How How much do I have to turn roughly?

58
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:56,240
Like 45°? And you guys basically can't see it at

59
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:59,000
all. Dude, that's pretty cool. I want Okay, I want to crank the brightness up

60
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,080
though cuz if I turn the brightness up, does it make it easier?

61
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:08,800
Wow, it's about the same maybe a little bit more in order to fully get blacked

62
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,560
out so you guys don't see it. We'll do one without privacy. This is still max

63
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:16,720
brightness. It's kind of blowing out the camera a little bit, but it gives you an idea.

64
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:22,920
From the top down, it looks like I'm just like lowering the brightness, right? But I'm

65
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:27,320
not. Oh, that's wasn't even maximum. There's an option to turn maximum

66
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,320
privacy protection.

67
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:35,560
Whoa. It's way harder to see. When it's just

68
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:39,760
on the default privacy display, so not the maximum, if there's really contrasty

69
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:45,320
images, I think it's a little bit easier to see that contrast when I'm on the

70
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:49,120
angle. But if I turn on the maximum privacy protection, you can see it kind

71
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,440
of almost I don't want to say it gives it like a balanced gray tone to

72
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:57,080
everything. You can see that like all of it starts to kind of dim equally [music]

73
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:02,080
versus you can kind of still see some hot spots like the volume slider.

74
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:05,640
It's very, very subtle, but there is a difference in it and it's quite a

75
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:10,360
difference if you are really looking for it. Holy crap, the screen is bright.

76
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:15,960
It's 2600 nits, which our Labs did confirm they were able to hit. That is a

77
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:19,960
bright screen. Outdoor use, no issue with that. That's actually not the

78
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:24,240
dimmest I've seen on a phone. Mm, maybe I should turn on adaptive. Oh,

79
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,920
never mind. I Holy crap, I can't see it now. Where's

80
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:32,360
the Holy cow, that got so dim I was struggling to find the brightness slider

81
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:36,280
to turn it back up. I take back what I said by it's not the dimmest display

82
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:39,320
I've ever seen. That is on right now. Before I actually go watch a video, I've

83
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,280
just been informed that apparently if you toggle the privacy display really

84
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:47,600
close to your eyes, you might actually be able to see some of the pixel

85
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:52,040
shifting. We have a whole article on lttlabs.com that explains kind of how

86
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,720
this privacy display works. So, I'm not going to go too much into it today.

87
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:59,080
Let's watch a YouTube video. I want to see what it looks like here.

88
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,360
But maybe before we watch a YouTube video cuz I got to connect to the

89
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,760
internet, I might as well hit my mandatory talking points by dbrand. They

90
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,760
sent over one of their prism screen protectors for the S26 Ultra and I'm

91
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:12,200
actually really interested to see if they managed to make it work with the

92
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:16,560
privacy display. So, we might as well just put it on and

93
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:20,559
find out. I almost did it upside down. Then immediately swipe along Oh I

94
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,960
did not >> [laughter] >> Said immediately. I was reading the

95
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:31,360
instructions. Oh no. Wait 5 seconds. Remove the tray

96
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,360
by peeling from the top.

97
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:39,240
Oh, it's peeling. Oh yeah, I can see air bubbles. Like which which isn't good cuz

98
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,640
that's me applying it very poorly.

99
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,484
You will likely notice bubbles. OH, NEVER MIND. NO, WE'RE GOOD. WE'RE GOOD.

100
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,760
OKAY. >> [laughter] >> Don't panic.

101
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,440
Use the included squeegee to sweep them out. This is very satisfying. I kind of

102
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,760
want to leave an air bubble and just like play with it. Okay, we're done.

103
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,800
dbrand >> [laughter] >> Let's turn it back on. Let's make sure

104
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:05,480
it works with the privacy setting. It's going to be really embarrassing if it doesn't, dbrand. Yeah, it works. I don't

105
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:09,560
know why it wouldn't. It's a piece of clear glass. They also sent over their

106
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:12,320
grip, ghost, and tank case. I'm going to try all three of them and then whichever

107
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:16,520
one I like the most, I'll keep on it. Let's start with the tank.

108
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:21,560
Jesus, that's loud. Holy. But it's probably like

109
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:24,840
Yep, it's it's pretty durable. It's a Some would say it's a tank. Then there's

110
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:28,025
the tank case. Just look at it, would you? She's a beast. That was the line

111
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:32,520
they wanted me to say. >> [laughter] >> So, the ghost case is actually kind of

112
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,840
nice cuz it's got the magnet built in because this phone does have wireless

113
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:39,080
charging, but they didn't include any magnets with this one. So, hey, there

114
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:43,280
you go. If you want a magnet to mount it in your car or on a computer shelf or

115
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:47,000
something or drop it. And dbrand's ghost cases don't turn

116
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,120
yellow like traditional clear cases. So, that way you can see your pretty colors.

117
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:54,440
Kind of nice. I got one more case to try though. Last but not least, the grip case. This is

118
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,840
the one I actually use on my phone, just not with the [music] ShortCircuit skin.

119
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,800
As the name suggests, it's really grippy in the hands. Plus with this one, you

120
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:05,320
can put any of their stickers on the back. In this case, we have the glow circuit skin. It glows in the freaking

121
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,080
dark, dude. If you pick up any of the cases that we saw today and you bundle

122
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,040
it with the screen protector, you can save 15% off that bundle by visiting

123
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,080
mybossisveryshort.com. I

124
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:19,640
miss having a proper keyboard. That was one of my biggest complaints about the

125
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,720
iPhone is the keyboard on it sucks ass.

126
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:25,280
Immediately typing on this thing, I I kind of miss a full-size Android

127
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:28,840
keyboard and individual volume slider. Oh man, okay. Now that I have another

128
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:33,919
Android in my hand, I'm like falling back in love. No. Stick with the

129
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:38,320
iPhone. Stay strong. Again, it's a 1440p screen. Like it's a lot of pixels in

130
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:42,360
there. Dude, I'm 6X zoomed into this video and it still looks freaking

131
00:08:40,479 --> 00:08:45,760
incredible. I'm going to probably blind the camera, but I want to test full

132
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:50,040
brightness. Hey. Are you looking at my screen?

133
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:53,000
Don't look at my screen. I see this is where you can kind of see it again. I

134
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:57,640
think when you have the really contrasty images, you can kind of tell

135
00:08:55,160 --> 00:09:01,360
that something is on the screen. Let's go to maximum privacy here. It's a lot

136
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:05,600
harder to see, but again, I'm on full brightness. And yeah, it definitely

137
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:10,240
gives it like a gray tint. If you guys look straight on at it now, when you're

138
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:14,640
on maximum privacy, it shifts like the whole color tone of the display. So, you

139
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:18,560
got to really be wanting to hide what you're looking at if you're willing to

140
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:23,600
give up kind of accurate colors because watching content on this looks kind of

141
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:26,280
washed out and peepee poopoo. I don't really like it. But again, if you're

142
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:30,080
really trying to hide what you're looking at, then

143
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:33,080
good for you, I guess. As they make phones thinner and thinner, I get more

144
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:38,160
and more worried about speaker quality in them. You can only make them so good when the

145
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:41,480
device is so thin. Let's see if Samsung compromised on the speakers.

146
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:48,840
They don't sound like ass on full volume, especially the bottom speaker.

147
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:55,200
I'm hearing the bottom speaker the most is like giving me the most issue.

148
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:57,000
It sounds like sand is in the speaker.

149
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,400
Am I actually at the beach with these crabs? Like it actually sounds like

150
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:04,160
there's sand in there. I'm going to turn it down like quite a lot. Go like 50%.

151
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:09,880
No, it's still there. That's actually a real bummer. Samsung is still putting

152
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:13,087
their 200-megapixel flagship camera in this bad boy. They have a 50-megapixel

153
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:17,840
ultrawide, and this is where [clears throat] it's weird. They have two telephoto lenses. They have one

154
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:21,240
50-megapixel one and one 10-megapixel one. And then on the front, they have

155
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:24,040
their 12-megapixel camera, which is the hole-punch design. It looks so out

156
00:10:22,912 --> 00:10:29,440
[music] of place. Again, to be fair, if we're going to compare it to a freaking iPhone,

157
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:33,680
obviously the iPhone has the freaking massive island at the top,

158
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:38,200
but at least they kind of own it, I guess, instead of just the hole punch.

159
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,600
I don't know. I've always not been a fan when phones started going towards these

160
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:47,520
just [music] kind of chunks taken out of it. Red Magic is the only one I've seen do a

161
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:52,960
really good under-screen camera. You know what? Maybe I can suck it up if the

162
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,600
camera quality is good. Selfie. Holy

163
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:58,600
crap, no one should ever take a look at that photo again. That's New Team's

164
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:02,360
profile picture, unlocked. It looks really good though. And detail, look at

165
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:07,680
that hair. Holy cow, you can get individual strands of hair. And then

166
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,680
just the dead in my eyes.

167
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,720
Jesus. Okay, anyway, sorry.

168
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:18,120
I'm honestly pretty impressed with that as a selfie camera. That's a very, very

169
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:24,000
good selfie camera. [music] Okay, let's look at the rear camera. Let's do just an

170
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:27,920
ultrawide photo of our kitchen set. Now, one thing I will

171
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:31,240
say is it does look a little washed out, but I

172
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,280
can't tell if that's because of the lighting in this room or the camera. I

173
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:41,040
mean, theoretically, the lighting in this room is really, really good, but that lamp is not that color in person

174
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:46,960
when I'm looking at it. It's more of a lighter orange. This gives off more of

175
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,880
like a sunny D orange, right?

176
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,960
So, I don't know if it's their processing or the lighting,

177
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:56,480
but maybe we should try one of their other like telephoto lenses. Oh, the

178
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,839
ultrawide. Again, it's hard to tell with the

179
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:03,800
lighting, but this almost comes across as like a brown red

180
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:08,680
versus the actual color of it. I'm not sure what they're doing to their

181
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:10,200
processing on this. Whoa.

182
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:14,680
It had some weird jello effect there. I don't know if you saw that. Oh, it's

183
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:18,640
trying to stabilize for me. Oh, cuz this camera has the whole Oh my god, I almost

184
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:23,240
forgot. It has the video horizontal lock thing. Oh, how did I forget about that?

185
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:27,040
Okay, how do I turn that on? Okay, I'm going to try

186
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:30,600
to take a video and I'm going to spin the camera and

187
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:33,968
then we're going to play the video back. Okay. So, we're going to do this.

188
00:12:31,948 --> 00:12:37,720
[music] Turn it back.

189
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:41,118
Turn it this way. We'll turn it back.

190
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:47,640
Okay. >> [laughter] >> Whoa. What? That's pretty cool, man. If

191
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:52,200
anybody has this phone and they're filming a fight, you better film with

192
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:55,560
this cuz I'm so tired of seeing like shaky cam for fights. Hold Okay, hold

193
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,960
on. Pushing it to its limits. I'm doing a 360.

194
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:11,904
It's going to be a little weird cuz obviously I think I'm going to have some axis tilt because I'm like

195
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:16,000
SPINNING IT. WHOA. >> [laughter]

196
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:19,120
>> DUDE, THAT'S so cool. I got Okay, hold on. I got to throw it now.

197
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:23,520
Okay, hold on. Hold on. No, hold on. It'll be fine. Ready? Check

198
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:27,160
this out. Whoa, that was a cool camera. We got to

199
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:30,960
end it where it starts. That's one thing I do KNOW ABOUT IT.

200
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:35,360
WHOA. [screaming] SEE THE MOTION. WHAT happens if you

201
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:39,320
don't finish it the way that you started? That's a good point. Yeah, they

202
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:42,560
tell you you have to finish shooting it kind of the way you start. So, I'm going

203
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:47,720
to start filming. I'm going to be like, "Oh man, this is a cool feature. Blah,

204
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:52,240
blah, blah, end." No, it didn't. It still locked it. Dude, that's pretty

205
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:56,800
cool. Does it do it on the selfie cam? No, maybe it I got to try it on the

206
00:13:54,040 --> 00:14:01,200
selfie cam. No, the option disappears the moment you try the selfie cam. So,

207
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,320
it's only the rear camera. [music]

208
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:06,839
I don't know. I still think that's a really, really cool feature. I guess while Genshin Impact is installing, we

209
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:10,760
should go over the rest of the specs in the phone. It is Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen

210
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:14,040
5 for [music] Galaxy, which means it's boosted a

211
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:19,240
little bit higher than just the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite 5. It's an octa-core

212
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:25,320
processor and it can boost up to 4.74 GHz. Our model here has 256 gigs of

213
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:28,000
storage and 12 GB of RAM. You can equip

214
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:31,600
it all the way up to 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. So, when you get into our

215
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:36,280
Labs numbers a little bit later, keep in mind that we only had 12 gigs of RAM,

216
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:40,720
but it's a freaking phone, man. I think we're so spoiled, especially with the

217
00:14:37,959 --> 00:14:44,360
RAM-pocalypse now. 12 gigs is probably fine for me to play Genshin Impact. Oh,

218
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,640
are you trying to zoom in? Excuse me. Don't make me activate my privacy

219
00:14:47,079 --> 00:14:51,839
display. All righty, now that I'm running around Genshin here, I guess I

220
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:57,560
should talk about some of our Labs results. >> [music] >> In terms of performance, the CPU was

221
00:14:55,160 --> 00:15:01,920
basically the exact same as our OnePlus 15. We compared this phone against the

222
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:05,640
OnePlus 15 and the iPhone 17 Pro. In multi-core is where this phone

223
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:09,320
outperformed the iPhone though. In single-core, they were basically the

224
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:12,760
exact same. As for GPU, it was basically just better than the iPhone, but so is

225
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:15,920
the OnePlus. So, I don't know what that for Galaxy tag is actually doing, but

226
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,880
it's not giving it that much of a performance boost. We did also do some

227
00:15:17,959 --> 00:15:24,839
stress testing on this, and it did perform up to 34% better than the iPhone

228
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:28,600
17 Pro and about 5% better than the OnePlus 15.

229
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:33,839
But, you guys will notice by this graph that it kind of gradually gets worse

230
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:38,839
over time. And that's because I can tell you firsthand, this device is really hot

231
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:42,200
in my hand. It's thermal throttling, ultimately bringing down your

232
00:15:39,839 --> 00:15:46,160
performance, whether it's in game or some other heavy demanding task. And I

233
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:50,360
actually am noticing that as I'm running around Genshin here, the device is quite

234
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:55,360
warm, and I'm occasionally noticing a little hitch in my gameplay. I'm

235
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,720
definitely not staying at a 120 Hz. Oh,

236
00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:01,720
you see that one? That one was really bad. But, it's definitely getting hot.

237
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:07,079
On to some more testing, like I mentioned earlier about the display brightness, we actually exceeded the

238
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:11,160
2600 nits that Samsung claims. We got almost 3000. Why you underselling

239
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:16,680
yourself, Samsung? And finally, on our battery test, this device lasted longer

240
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:19,160
than the iPhone 17 Pro. It has a 5000

241
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:26,200
mAh battery in here, and during our video playback, we saw almost 29 hours

242
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:29,360
of video playback. That is a lot. Like that that seems like overkill for most

243
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:33,040
people, probably. You're not going to watch a video on it for 29 hours

244
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:39,079
straight. But, in my opinion, the most impressive thing about the battery is actually the charge time. From 0 to 100,

245
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:43,959
it was 67 minutes. But, what's even crazier is to get to 50%, it was 18

246
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:47,520
minutes. You plug this thing in when you go have a quick shower or you're making

247
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:52,640
a quick meal, you basically have a full battery or enough to get you through the

248
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:54,520
day. That is quite impressive. But, as

249
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:58,240
for the rest of the device, going back to the screen issue, I

250
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:02,040
actually noticed on Twitter that a lot of people had some questions about it.

251
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:06,360
Apparently, Samsung was telling some creators that it is a 10-bit display,

252
00:17:04,199 --> 00:17:09,959
but other creators were confirming that it was an 8-bit display. I'm not really

253
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,946
sure on the language of that. We didn't get to fully test if it was 8-bit or

254
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:17,120
10-bit, >> [music] >> but if Samsung's claiming it's 10-bit

255
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,496
and it's 8-bit, it's a little little scummy, a little sketchy in my opinion.

256
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:25,079
And >> [music] >> the display feature is really cool. The privacy is sick, but the rest of the

257
00:17:23,439 --> 00:17:28,920
phone just kind of feels underwhelming for an Ultra. This is their flagship. I

258
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:33,880
don't know. It doesn't feel as special as like the Note did back in the day,

259
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:37,837
right? The Note 20. The Note 9. Those were goated phones.

260
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:41,679
Maybe I just miss the Note. >> [laughter] >> Maybe that's the conclusion to this. Am

261
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:45,160
I going to switch from my iPhone to this?

262
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,920
Uh probably not, Samsung. You're going to

263
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:52,320
have to try again. I'm sorry. It's

264
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:55,240
a good phone. Anybody who buys this would probably be

265
00:17:53,840 --> 00:18:00,120
happy. But, let me know what you guys think. If you guys enjoyed this video, maybe go back and check out any of the

266
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:06,480
Red Magic phones that I've unboxed on this channel. Those ones are special

267
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:12,160
because they feature woman, which I would probably need the privacy

268
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,160
display for. So, Red Magic, get on it.
