WEBVTT

00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:06.520
it's on Enthusiast Hardware where we first see the innovations that trickle

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:11.440
down to the mainstream stuff a couple of years later so there's usually a whole

00:00:08.920 --> 00:00:16.480
lot more for me to say about a piece of high-end gear than a value one but once

00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:21.519
in a while it's helpful to come back down to earth and find out just how much

00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:26.320
the value customer gives up compared to the Enthusiast customer so welcome to a

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:33.410
bit of a new style video for me I'm calling it a micro review about the

00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:38.409
Motorola Moto e25 4G

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:46.199
variant of course our h8i GT and h100i

00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:51.039
GTX all-in-one liquid coolers improve both the appearance and cooling of your

00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:52.760
PC click my face or this spot or this

00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:58.600
spot how many annotations can he make Nick do to learn

00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:00.559
more since this is a micro video there's

00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:04.159
no time to waste so let's get right into it this little guy is an entry-level

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:09.560
smartphone whose killer feature is right in the name 4G connectivity but it gets

00:01:07.479 --> 00:01:14.759
some other upgrades as well compared to the 2014 model the processor has been

00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:20.040
boosted to a Snapdragon 410 RAM holds steady at 1 GB storage gets bumped from

00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:24.920
4 to 8 gigs with the same micro SD expansion the battery capacity jumps 20%

00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:31.320
to 2390 milliamp hours and the screen jumps from a 540 by 960 pixel 4.3 inch

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:35.240
display to an okay the resolution stayed the same and it only got bumped to 4

00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:40.479
and2 in but size ain't the only important thing here folks the new

00:01:37.479 --> 00:01:42.560
display is an IPS panel it's not the

00:01:40.479 --> 00:01:47.600
best I've seen and whites have a yellow or even slightly orange cast and blues

00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:53.159
are oversaturated but it's a heck of a lot better than TN so yay joining that

00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:57.880
at the front of the phone is a 640x480 selfie cam a speaker that pulls triple

00:01:55.600 --> 00:02:01.680
Duty as the headset speaker an unexceptional loudspeaker and a great

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:06.680
little storage Nook for pocket lint and other random crap and that's about it

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:13.080
the buttons are on screen at the back is the camera for 5 megapixel Stills in

00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:15.319
720p 30fps video that stunningly doesn't

00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:19.599
include an LED flash I mean seriously how much more would that have cost then

00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:24.879
around the edges of the removable rubbery feeling ring are the micro USB

00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:28.920
charging port satisfying feeling volume and lock buttons and a headphone jack

00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:34.239
then you can pull that baby off if you want to get a different color one or

00:02:30.920 --> 00:02:35.920
access the micro SD and Sim slots 3G

00:02:34.239 --> 00:02:42.040
version users will actually find two slim Sim slim Sim slots in here so let's

00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:47.440
talk about using this thing the screen is noticeably non-retina uh it's pretty

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:51.840
slow uh Android 5.0 Lollipop in spite of its non bloated basically vanilla

00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:56.040
implementation other than some little stuff like the handy notification glance

00:02:53.959 --> 00:03:00.280
feature that I love on the Droid Turbo cannot save it compared to older

00:02:58.040 --> 00:03:05.760
Hardware something like an iPhone 4 or 4S nonp power users might not be

00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:09.760
bothered but on occasion I found myself putting the phone aside to do something

00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:13.720
else while I wait for something which is never a good sign which isn't to say

00:03:11.799 --> 00:03:18.519
that the whole experience is terrible the phone feels really solid and the

00:03:16.040 --> 00:03:24.560
ergonomics are mostly good with more grip on the back being my only real

00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:26.599
request 2.4 only gigahertz Wi-Fi is a

00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:31.599
bit of a drag but the good news is that my bell LTE connection is significantly

00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:36.080
faster than in my landline which the 2.4 GHz connection could saturate anyway and

00:03:33.640 --> 00:03:40.319
I have lots of data so there's that battery life was a really strong point I

00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:46.319
was expecting going from a 4,000 milliamp phone the Droid Turbo to a

00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:48.120
2000ish milliamp battery would bother me

00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:52.920
but the lower power Hardware in here allows it to easily make it through my

00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:57.680
most demanding days with plenty of battery to spare which leads to the

00:03:55.239 --> 00:04:02.200
micro conclusion of this micro video the camera is not as bad as I expected

00:03:59.799 --> 00:04:07.120
indecent light but the lack of a flash means that poor lighting conditions will

00:04:04.040 --> 00:04:08.840
come often and while at $20 more than

00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:13.640
the original Moto E it doesn't feel quite like a direct replacement given

00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:18.239
how much has improved you're getting a great value for your extra 20 bucks with

00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:23.800
the most notable bits being for me the IPS display the improved battery life

00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.479
and of course LTE connectivity the only

00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:30.400
decision then to make is whether to spend a little bit more for the

00:04:27.280 --> 00:04:31.919
significantly better Moto G

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:36.160
speaking of significantly better wouldn't it be better to have an anime

00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:41.720
site created by anime fans for anime fans yes I'm talking about C country

00:04:39.400 --> 00:04:45.560
