WEBVTT

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

00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:10.720
about we take a look at the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Will that make you

00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:15.440
happy? To be very clear, I'm actually pretty excited to take a look at this

00:00:12.120 --> 00:00:18.560
thing because of the display on it. This

00:00:15.440 --> 00:00:20.840
phone is boasting the world's first

00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:25.160
privacy display on mobile. I kind of want to see it in

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.

00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:32.119
Is there a cable, please? It's going to be like, man, this fastest unboxing

00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:37.600
ever. Oh. Oh, hold on. Okay, good. We do still

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

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.

00:00:44.440 --> 00:00:48.920
Something like that. Definitely not the longest cable we've

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:53.000
seen with phones. Man, these phone unboxings are real quick because that

00:00:51.040 --> 00:00:57.680
was it. We're straight into the phone here. Oh, got to do our peel.

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

00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:06.560
terms of just weight and overall feel. I'm actually quite impressed. It is a

00:01:04.360 --> 00:01:10.120
little bit thinner than their S25 and in turn means it's a little bit lighter.

00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:13.880
And in our case, we got the What color is this? They call this the cobalt

00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:17.920
violet. When it catches the light, it actually looks like kind of cool. I like

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,

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:26.480
you know this. I am a freaking camera bump hater and that is a whole other

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

00:01:28.600 --> 00:01:33.000
how much this thing is going to rock when you lay it down, dude? I guess

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

00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:40.640
here. So, on our right side, you've got our power and our volume rockers right

00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:46.760
there. On the bottom, you've got your SIM tray, one of your speakers, your

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:48.280
USB-C, and yay, the stylus. Which

00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:52.040
Listen, I've heard there's some drama around and I need to verify this. I

00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:55.880
don't believe it has Bluetooth this year. That's going to be a real downer

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

00:01:58.520 --> 00:02:04.280
pen as like a camera remote. So, you could set up your phone as your camera.

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

00:02:07.440 --> 00:02:14.040
was the coolest thing ever. Removing Bluetooth seems like an unnecessary

00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:17.551
change, but Oh crap, does it only go in one way?

00:02:16.040 --> 00:02:21.040
Oh, it does. I >> [music] >> Why would they do that? That seems so

00:02:19.160 --> 00:02:26.520
dumb. So, you can see the tip here is slightly curved to match the curve of

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:27.960
the phone. And that is why you can only

00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:32.040
put it in one direction. It's pretty basic around

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

00:02:34.480 --> 00:02:40.400
that's got like liquid cooling. The All phones are kind of pretty basic. [music]

00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:43.880
But let's power this thing on cuz I am really interested in seeing that

00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:47.160
display. Before I turn on the privacy settings of the display, let's talk

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

00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:55.480
featuring the Corning Gorilla Armor 2, so you know, hopefully it'll stay nice

00:02:53.640 --> 00:02:58.920
and protected. We'll find out later. I'm not going to drop it though.

00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:04.600
We'll see if it can survive my tests today. The resolution itself, it is 3120

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

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

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

00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:21.880
anything, basically just displaying the clock, being able to go all the way down

00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:27.160
to 1 Hz will probably last you all night with zero battery drain or very minimal

00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:30.640
battery drain, which is awesome. I mean, unless your notifications are lighting

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

00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:37.760
to turn this on? Oh, it's right there. Right away from the control panel drop

00:03:36.040 --> 00:03:41.960
down. Oh, you can see it does a little flash.

00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:47.120
Okay, let's Whoa. Holy crap, this works so much

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:51.880
better than I How How much do I have to turn roughly?

00:03:49.880 --> 00:03:56.240
Like 45°? And you guys basically can't see it at

00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:59.000
all. Dude, that's pretty cool. I want Okay, I want to crank the brightness up

00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:02.080
though cuz if I turn the brightness up, does it make it easier?

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

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

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.

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

00:04:20.200 --> 00:04:27.320
not. Oh, that's wasn't even maximum. There's an option to turn maximum

00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.320
privacy protection.

00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:35.560
Whoa. It's way harder to see. When it's just

00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:39.760
on the default privacy display, so not the maximum, if there's really contrasty

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

00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:49.120
angle. But if I turn on the maximum privacy protection, you can see it kind

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

00:04:50.640 --> 00:04:57.080
everything. You can see that like all of it starts to kind of dim equally [music]

00:04:55.000 --> 00:05:02.080
versus you can kind of still see some hot spots like the volume slider.

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

00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:10.360
difference if you are really looking for it. Holy crap, the screen is bright.

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

00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:19.960
bright screen. Outdoor use, no issue with that. That's actually not the

00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:24.240
dimmest I've seen on a phone. Mm, maybe I should turn on adaptive. Oh,

00:05:22.400 --> 00:05:26.920
never mind. I Holy crap, I can't see it now. Where's

00:05:25.880 --> 00:05:32.360
the Holy cow, that got so dim I was struggling to find the brightness slider

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

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

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:43.280
just been informed that apparently if you toggle the privacy display really

00:05:41.760 --> 00:05:47.600
close to your eyes, you might actually be able to see some of the pixel

00:05:45.320 --> 00:05:52.040
shifting. We have a whole article on lttlabs.com that explains kind of how

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.720
this privacy display works. So, I'm not going to go too much into it today.

00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:59.080
Let's watch a YouTube video. I want to see what it looks like here.

00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:01.360
But maybe before we watch a YouTube video cuz I got to connect to the

00:06:00.200 --> 00:06:04.760
internet, I might as well hit my mandatory talking points by dbrand. They

00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:08.760
sent over one of their prism screen protectors for the S26 Ultra and I'm

00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:12.200
actually really interested to see if they managed to make it work with the

00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:16.560
privacy display. So, we might as well just put it on and

00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:20.559
find out. I almost did it upside down. Then immediately swipe along Oh I

00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:23.960
did not >> [laughter] >> Said immediately. I was reading the

00:06:22.640 --> 00:06:31.360
instructions. Oh no. Wait 5 seconds. Remove the tray

00:06:27.760 --> 00:06:31.360
by peeling from the top.

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

00:06:36.200 --> 00:06:40.640
that's me applying it very poorly.

00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:43.484
You will likely notice bubbles. OH, NEVER MIND. NO, WE'RE GOOD. WE'RE GOOD.

00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:47.760
OKAY. >> [laughter] >> Don't panic.

00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:50.440
Use the included squeegee to sweep them out. This is very satisfying. I kind of

00:06:49.320 --> 00:06:53.760
want to leave an air bubble and just like play with it. Okay, we're done.

00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:59.800
dbrand >> [laughter] >> Let's turn it back on. Let's make sure

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

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

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

00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:16.520
one I like the most, I'll keep on it. Let's start with the tank.

00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:21.560
Jesus, that's loud. Holy. But it's probably like

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

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

00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:32.520
they wanted me to say. >> [laughter] >> So, the ghost case is actually kind of

00:07:30.840 --> 00:07:35.840
nice cuz it's got the magnet built in because this phone does have wireless

00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:39.080
charging, but they didn't include any magnets with this one. So, hey, there

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

00:07:40.840 --> 00:07:47.000
something or drop it. And dbrand's ghost cases don't turn

00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:50.120
yellow like traditional clear cases. So, that way you can see your pretty colors.

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

00:07:52.640 --> 00:07:57.840
the one I actually use on my phone, just not with the [music] ShortCircuit skin.

00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:00.800
As the name suggests, it's really grippy in the hands. Plus with this one, you

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

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

00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:12.040
it with the screen protector, you can save 15% off that bundle by visiting

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:15.080
mybossisveryshort.com. I

00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:19.640
miss having a proper keyboard. That was one of my biggest complaints about the

00:08:16.280 --> 00:08:21.720
iPhone is the keyboard on it sucks ass.

00:08:19.640 --> 00:08:25.280
Immediately typing on this thing, I I kind of miss a full-size Android

00:08:23.200 --> 00:08:28.840
keyboard and individual volume slider. Oh man, okay. Now that I have another

00:08:26.960 --> 00:08:33.919
Android in my hand, I'm like falling back in love. No. Stick with the

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

00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:42.360
there. Dude, I'm 6X zoomed into this video and it still looks freaking

00:08:40.479 --> 00:08:45.760
incredible. I'm going to probably blind the camera, but I want to test full

00:08:43.640 --> 00:08:50.040
brightness. Hey. Are you looking at my screen?

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

00:08:51.400 --> 00:08:57.640
think when you have the really contrasty images, you can kind of tell

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

00:08:59.520 --> 00:09:05.600
harder to see, but again, I'm on full brightness. And yeah, it definitely

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

00:09:07.520 --> 00:09:14.640
on maximum privacy, it shifts like the whole color tone of the display. So, you

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

00:09:16.400 --> 00:09:23.600
give up kind of accurate colors because watching content on this looks kind of

00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:26.280
washed out and peepee poopoo. I don't really like it. But again, if you're

00:09:25.280 --> 00:09:30.080
really trying to hide what you're looking at, then

00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.080
good for you, I guess. As they make phones thinner and thinner, I get more

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

00:09:36.160 --> 00:09:41.480
device is so thin. Let's see if Samsung compromised on the speakers.

00:09:43.520 --> 00:09:48.840
They don't sound like ass on full volume, especially the bottom speaker.

00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:55.200
I'm hearing the bottom speaker the most is like giving me the most issue.

00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:57.000
It sounds like sand is in the speaker.

00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:59.400
Am I actually at the beach with these crabs? Like it actually sounds like

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%.

00:10:04.280 --> 00:10:09.880
No, it's still there. That's actually a real bummer. Samsung is still putting

00:10:07.800 --> 00:10:13.087
their 200-megapixel flagship camera in this bad boy. They have a 50-megapixel

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

00:10:15.680 --> 00:10:21.240
50-megapixel one and one 10-megapixel one. And then on the front, they have

00:10:19.400 --> 00:10:24.040
their 12-megapixel camera, which is the hole-punch design. It looks so out

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,

00:10:27.560 --> 00:10:33.680
obviously the iPhone has the freaking massive island at the top,

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:38.200
but at least they kind of own it, I guess, instead of just the hole punch.

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

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

00:10:44.880 --> 00:10:52.960
really good under-screen camera. You know what? Maybe I can suck it up if the

00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:54.600
camera quality is good. Selfie. Holy

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

00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:02.360
profile picture, unlocked. It looks really good though. And detail, look at

00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:07.680
that hair. Holy cow, you can get individual strands of hair. And then

00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:07.680
just the dead in my eyes.

00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:14.720
Jesus. Okay, anyway, sorry.

00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:18.120
I'm honestly pretty impressed with that as a selfie camera. That's a very, very

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

00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:27.920
ultrawide photo of our kitchen set. Now, one thing I will

00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:31.240
say is it does look a little washed out, but I

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

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

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

00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:47.880
like a sunny D orange, right?

00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:51.960
So, I don't know if it's their processing or the lighting,

00:11:50.640 --> 00:11:56.480
but maybe we should try one of their other like telephoto lenses. Oh, the

00:11:53.920 --> 00:11:58.839
ultrawide. Again, it's hard to tell with the

00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:03.800
lighting, but this almost comes across as like a brown red

00:12:01.560 --> 00:12:08.680
versus the actual color of it. I'm not sure what they're doing to their

00:12:05.160 --> 00:12:10.200
processing on this. Whoa.

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

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

00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:23.240
forgot. It has the video horizontal lock thing. Oh, how did I forget about that?

00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:27.040
Okay, how do I turn that on? Okay, I'm going to try

00:12:25.040 --> 00:12:30.600
to take a video and I'm going to spin the camera and

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.

00:12:31.948 --> 00:12:37.720
[music] Turn it back.

00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:41.118
Turn it this way. We'll turn it back.

00:12:39.800 --> 00:12:47.640
Okay. >> [laughter] >> Whoa. What? That's pretty cool, man. If

00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:52.200
anybody has this phone and they're filming a fight, you better film with

00:12:49.800 --> 00:12:55.560
this cuz I'm so tired of seeing like shaky cam for fights. Hold Okay, hold

00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:59.960
on. Pushing it to its limits. I'm doing a 360.

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

00:13:09.040 --> 00:13:16.000
SPINNING IT. WHOA. >> [laughter]

00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:19.120
>> DUDE, THAT'S so cool. I got Okay, hold on. I got to throw it now.

00:13:17.920 --> 00:13:23.520
Okay, hold on. Hold on. No, hold on. It'll be fine. Ready? Check

00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:27.160
this out. Whoa, that was a cool camera. We got to

00:13:25.560 --> 00:13:30.960
end it where it starts. That's one thing I do KNOW ABOUT IT.

00:13:29.640 --> 00:13:35.360
WHOA. [screaming] SEE THE MOTION. WHAT happens if you

00:13:33.280 --> 00:13:39.320
don't finish it the way that you started? That's a good point. Yeah, they

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

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,

00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:52.240
blah, blah, end." No, it didn't. It still locked it. Dude, that's pretty

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

00:13:54.040 --> 00:14:01.200
selfie cam. No, the option disappears the moment you try the selfie cam. So,

00:13:58.160 --> 00:14:02.320
it's only the rear camera. [music]

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

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

00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:14.040
5 for [music] Galaxy, which means it's boosted a

00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:19.240
little bit higher than just the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite 5. It's an octa-core

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

00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:28.000
storage and 12 GB of RAM. You can equip

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

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,

00:14:33.560 --> 00:14:40.720
but it's a freaking phone, man. I think we're so spoiled, especially with the

00:14:37.959 --> 00:14:44.360
RAM-pocalypse now. 12 gigs is probably fine for me to play Genshin Impact. Oh,

00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:48.640
are you trying to zoom in? Excuse me. Don't make me activate my privacy

00:14:47.079 --> 00:14:51.839
display. All righty, now that I'm running around Genshin here, I guess I

00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:57.560
should talk about some of our Labs results. >> [music] >> In terms of performance, the CPU was

00:14:55.160 --> 00:15:01.920
basically the exact same as our OnePlus 15. We compared this phone against the

00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:05.640
OnePlus 15 and the iPhone 17 Pro. In multi-core is where this phone

00:15:03.520 --> 00:15:09.320
outperformed the iPhone though. In single-core, they were basically the

00:15:06.880 --> 00:15:12.760
exact same. As for GPU, it was basically just better than the iPhone, but so is

00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:15.920
the OnePlus. So, I don't know what that for Galaxy tag is actually doing, but

00:15:14.760 --> 00:15:19.880
it's not giving it that much of a performance boost. We did also do some

00:15:17.959 --> 00:15:24.839
stress testing on this, and it did perform up to 34% better than the iPhone

00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:28.600
17 Pro and about 5% better than the OnePlus 15.

00:15:26.400 --> 00:15:33.839
But, you guys will notice by this graph that it kind of gradually gets worse

00:15:31.280 --> 00:15:38.839
over time. And that's because I can tell you firsthand, this device is really hot

00:15:36.400 --> 00:15:42.200
in my hand. It's thermal throttling, ultimately bringing down your

00:15:39.839 --> 00:15:46.160
performance, whether it's in game or some other heavy demanding task. And I

00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:50.360
actually am noticing that as I'm running around Genshin here, the device is quite

00:15:48.560 --> 00:15:55.360
warm, and I'm occasionally noticing a little hitch in my gameplay. I'm

00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.720
definitely not staying at a 120 Hz. Oh,

00:15:55.360 --> 00:16:01.720
you see that one? That one was really bad. But, it's definitely getting hot.

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

00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:11.160
2600 nits that Samsung claims. We got almost 3000. Why you underselling

00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:16.680
yourself, Samsung? And finally, on our battery test, this device lasted longer

00:16:13.640 --> 00:16:19.160
than the iPhone 17 Pro. It has a 5000

00:16:16.680 --> 00:16:26.200
mAh battery in here, and during our video playback, we saw almost 29 hours

00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:29.360
of video playback. That is a lot. Like that that seems like overkill for most

00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:33.040
people, probably. You're not going to watch a video on it for 29 hours

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,

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

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

00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:52.640
a quick meal, you basically have a full battery or enough to get you through the

00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:54.520
day. That is quite impressive. But, as

00:16:52.640 --> 00:16:58.240
for the rest of the device, going back to the screen issue, I

00:16:56.560 --> 00:17:02.040
actually noticed on Twitter that a lot of people had some questions about it.

00:17:00.160 --> 00:17:06.360
Apparently, Samsung was telling some creators that it is a 10-bit display,

00:17:04.199 --> 00:17:09.959
but other creators were confirming that it was an 8-bit display. I'm not really

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

00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:17.120
10-bit, >> [music] >> but if Samsung's claiming it's 10-bit

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.

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

00:17:23.439 --> 00:17:28.920
phone just kind of feels underwhelming for an Ultra. This is their flagship. I

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,

00:17:31.720 --> 00:17:37.837
right? The Note 20. The Note 9. Those were goated phones.

00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:41.679
Maybe I just miss the Note. >> [laughter] >> Maybe that's the conclusion to this. Am

00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:45.160
I going to switch from my iPhone to this?

00:17:43.520 --> 00:17:48.920
Uh probably not, Samsung. You're going to

00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:52.320
have to try again. I'm sorry. It's

00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:55.240
a good phone. Anybody who buys this would probably be

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

00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:06.480
Red Magic phones that I've unboxed on this channel. Those ones are special

00:18:03.560 --> 00:18:12.160
because they feature woman, which I would probably need the privacy

00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:12.160
display for. So, Red Magic, get on it.
