00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,160
our cs coverage is brought to you of course by dbrand check out their new

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:08,720
prism and grip cases super protective at the link below

3
00:00:07,359 --> 00:00:13,360
if you're one of those people who is just totally sick of this trend of having bezel-less displays with big

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:17,760
notches cut out the top of them then why not go the absolute opposite direction

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:22,000
and get a flip phone again this is the cosmo communicator by a company called

6
00:00:19,439 --> 00:00:26,480
planet computers and it is frankly an absolute brick but hear me out you've

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:32,239
got dual displays one on the outside and another one on the inside accompanied by

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:34,719
a full qwerty keyboard with actual

9
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:38,640
keys typing like this is a little difficult for my hands to

10
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:42,320
reach the middle but it is doable but if you set it down on a table

11
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:46,320
and if you use just one finger on each end you can actually get pretty good

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:50,399
and we're way beyond phone territory and getting closer into laptop category so

13
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:54,480
the difference between the gemini and the communicator which is the upcoming

14
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:58,160
one is this outer screen so what you've got here is your standard Android fare

15
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,239
when it comes to notifications it's an OLED screen notifications come by in

16
00:01:00,239 --> 00:01:05,600
either portrait or landscape mode it does rotate unfortunately this is just a

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,680
demo so it's not responsive to me and i can't actually interact with it but you can see it's full color maybe it's a

18
00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:15,680
battery drain but you do have a 420 milliamp hour battery on this puppy

19
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:18,880
which i would expect at about 300 grams i would hope it has good battery life

20
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:23,439
opening it up you do have a six inch display which is i guess always going to

21
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,880
be in landscape mode it has a camera that's kind of cut out you can't really

22
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:31,200
call that one of those cutaway hole punch cameras because it is

23
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,320
in the bezel and these bezels are pretty big and i don't know if you can have a

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:39,439
determination on this but to me it kind of looks like the screen isn't exactly center it kind of looks like it's uh

25
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,799
maybe closer to this side than that side which kind of irks me but this is really

26
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:46,880
interesting to me because on the one hand you've got full mobile phones very

27
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:49,840
small phones like my pixel 3 and then on the other hand you've got workstations

28
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:56,159
somewhere in the middle this year we're going to be seeing these snapdragon equipped lte laptops that run Windows

29
00:01:54,399 --> 00:01:59,439
and now you've got just closer to the phone end of the spectrum things like

30
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:04,079
this where i can i can plop this down on a table when i'm on the train and

31
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,600
have a full keyboard experience another cool thing about it in close mode is

32
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,000
that you do have your fingerprint sensor here which you unlock like this but it

33
00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:13,680
actually doesn't matter which orientation you use it because each one

34
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:18,319
of these is a speaker and microphone combined so you can answer it in any

35
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:22,160
orientation you want once it's open your speakers are on the sides and they are

36
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:28,560
stereo speakers something that's really interesting about this phone is that it has not one but two usbc ports so what

37
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:32,879
you can do is maybe be charging your phone and using a usbc mouse at the same

38
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:37,360
time or even having a display out uh using HDMI via usbc spec wise we're

39
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:41,760
looking at six gigabytes of RAM and a mediatek p70 processor which is an eight

40
00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:45,920
core processor at two gigahertz each per core which is about a 50 faster than the

41
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:50,879
old gemini model from last year which had 10 cores but some of them were a lot

42
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:54,640
slower storage wise this is a 128 Gigabyte device but it does have

43
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:58,640
expandable storage via microsd card so if you're looking for a full flip phone

44
00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:02,720
that has a complete keyboard that actually is backlit and runs Android 9

45
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:06,400
then the cosmo communicator might be your next phone and of course thank you

46
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:10,720
