00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.160
our cs coverage is brought to you of course by dbrand check out their new

00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:08.720
prism and grip cases super protective at the link below

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

00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:17.760
notches cut out the top of them then why not go the absolute opposite direction

00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:22.000
and get a flip phone again this is the cosmo communicator by a company called

00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:26.480
planet computers and it is frankly an absolute brick but hear me out you've

00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:32.239
got dual displays one on the outside and another one on the inside accompanied by

00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:34.719
a full qwerty keyboard with actual

00:00:32.239 --> 00:00:38.640
keys typing like this is a little difficult for my hands to

00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:42.320
reach the middle but it is doable but if you set it down on a table

00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:46.320
and if you use just one finger on each end you can actually get pretty good

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:50.399
and we're way beyond phone territory and getting closer into laptop category so

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:54.480
the difference between the gemini and the communicator which is the upcoming

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:58.160
one is this outer screen so what you've got here is your standard Android fare

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:02.239
when it comes to notifications it's an OLED screen notifications come by in

00:01:00.239 --> 00:01:05.600
either portrait or landscape mode it does rotate unfortunately this is just a

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

00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:15.680
battery drain but you do have a 420 milliamp hour battery on this puppy

00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:18.880
which i would expect at about 300 grams i would hope it has good battery life

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

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

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:31.200
call that one of those cutaway hole punch cameras because it is

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

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

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

00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:46.880
interesting to me because on the one hand you've got full mobile phones very

00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:49.840
small phones like my pixel 3 and then on the other hand you've got workstations

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

00:01:54.399 --> 00:01:59.439
and now you've got just closer to the phone end of the spectrum things like

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

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:07.600
have a full keyboard experience another cool thing about it in close mode is

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:10.000
that you do have your fingerprint sensor here which you unlock like this but it

00:02:09.119 --> 00:02:13.680
actually doesn't matter which orientation you use it because each one

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:18.319
of these is a speaker and microphone combined so you can answer it in any

00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:22.160
orientation you want once it's open your speakers are on the sides and they are

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

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

00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:37.360
time or even having a display out uh using HDMI via usbc spec wise we're

00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:41.760
looking at six gigabytes of RAM and a mediatek p70 processor which is an eight

00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:45.920
core processor at two gigahertz each per core which is about a 50 faster than the

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

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:54.640
slower storage wise this is a 128 Gigabyte device but it does have

00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:58.640
expandable storage via microsd card so if you're looking for a full flip phone

00:02:56.959 --> 00:03:02.720
that has a complete keyboard that actually is backlit and runs Android 9

00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:06.400
then the cosmo communicator might be your next phone and of course thank you

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:10.720
