WEBVTT

00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:05.120
so honor is sponsoring an early look

00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:09.679
actually i don't know if by the time this comes out it's going to be early at

00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:13.519
all but uh that's not really the point the point is

00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:19.359
we are checking out the honor 10 and i absolutely love doing stuff for honor

00:00:16.240 --> 00:00:22.400
because i get to make this joke over and

00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:25.050
over and over again

00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:27.100
are you ready to do the shoot for honor

00:00:29.439 --> 00:00:33.039
hey which video are you editing right now

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:39.520
is it the one for honor no

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:55.760
hey tyler did that product arrive yet for honor

00:00:55.760 --> 00:01:05.439
so the highlight features of this thing include an octocore processor a 19x9

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:07.680
aspect ratio screen with notch and an

00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:13.200
npu or neural processing unit

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:15.040
and it's very

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:17.759
shiny does it look as good on camera as it

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:22.240
does in person dang so we'll start with the obligatory

00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:27.520
unboxing you get a sim removal tool you get a bunch of documentation you get

00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:30.960
oh that's actually kind of a nice touch they include

00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:36.640
a case so that at least while you wait for your

00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:40.880
like you know nicer one or whatever you're not going to get that stupid

00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:44.320
first scratch on the phone that you're you're otherwise likely to it actually

00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.640
includes a screen protector as well so those kinds of things are always a nice

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:52.399
touch they've got a supercharged power supply right here with oops

00:01:50.399 --> 00:01:57.280
well uh i'm sure you'll get one that's compatible with your region and a usb

00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:00.159
type-c cable with an adorable purple inset

00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:04.320
of course it's no big secret but i think unboxings are boring so

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:10.720
let's have a look at the phone itself i've actually got a couple of them i've

00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:12.560
got that sick purple and blue iridescent

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:16.400
they call it aurora gradient or something like that finish and then i've

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:20.239
got a more plain blue one that quite frankly uh you should be able to tell by

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:24.480
now but i think this one looks so much better looking at the physical

00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:29.040
layout of the phone there are a couple of things that i think some folks are

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:34.640
going to find polarizing like it's really the age of phablets these days

00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:37.599
but this is a comfortably one-handable phone

00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:42.800
like you can actually type

00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:47.280
at least if you got swiftkey on anyway that comes pre-loaded which is nice with

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:52.000
one hand on it but i don't know if everyone is going to like the duplicated

00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:55.280
home button so you've got a software one as well as a built-in one in hardware

00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:01.680
and that's actually where the fingerprint sensor is so it bucks the trend in terms of fingerprint sensor it

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:06.720
bucks the trend in terms of headphone jack which for me anyway is a really

00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:11.200
nice inclusion and then it sticks with the trend for the display notch i'm

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:16.159
happy to see a more handleable option though and personally i'm a really big

00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:19.360
fan of glass backs because even though actually this one i think i've already

00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:23.040
got some fingerprints on even though they do tend to get fingerprinted up

00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:27.920
pretty easily what's nice about the glass

00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:31.519
is that at least they're easy to clean then they're perfect another choice they

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:37.280
made that's going to be controversial no matter how you slice it is their use of

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:39.840
an ips display so right now the main two

00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:44.640
choices are OLED or lcd ips

00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:49.280
and they've both got pros and cons with OLED having perfect blacks and the

00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:54.879
ability to you know show the time even when the screen is off for example with

00:03:51.519 --> 00:03:57.599
ips having the advantage of basically no

00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:00.480
chance of running into burning issues so

00:03:58.799 --> 00:04:05.840
it's a good ips they're boasting 96 coverage of ntsc and

00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:10.959
it looks after i turned off the vivid profile that was loaded by default

00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:12.000
subjectively really freaking good

00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:18.639
but everyone's going to have their own feelings on a decision like this

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:22.720
now this is something really interesting that i picked up on the way that they've

00:04:20.239 --> 00:04:27.040
implemented the notch is not like pure notch or pure knot notch so you can see

00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:31.360
that the display stretches up into the notch area when you're vertical but

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:37.280
check this out it actually does a little trickery thing so you watch that change

00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:39.440
to curved and then it cuts the notch out

00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:43.600
when you put video in landscape mode which personally i think is a really

00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:46.960
nice touch another thing that you can actually do while i'm on the subject of

00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:52.600
cool little uh software tricks is you can turn the

00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:52.600
notch off entirely

00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:59.759
and there are actually some nice touches as well wireless charging isn't

00:04:57.840 --> 00:05:05.120
supported but it does support four and a half amp five volt fast charging and

00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:09.120
their facial recognition it is shockingly fast so i've got it open here

00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:15.199
it's looking for my face bam that's really impressive and this

00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:19.360
one's cool there's a feature on here called smart rotate

00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:24.680
that lets the screen rotation follow the direction of your face can your phone do

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.680
this

00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:32.720
and it stays in portrait mode cool right anyway the big feature on the

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:38.479
phone is really on the rear shooter so it's a dual rear shooter it's got a 16

00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:40.880
megapixel f 1.8 color sensor and then a

00:05:38.479 --> 00:05:47.199
24 megapixel black and white and the whole thing is powered by their neural

00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:49.759
processing unit or npu so using their

00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:54.240
npu they can actually recognize the subject of a photo and then adjust the

00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:58.720
way that it looks in order to make it more pleasing

00:05:57.440 --> 00:06:02.720
let's go try it out on a few things shall we

00:06:01.039 --> 00:06:07.759
all right so let's do some test shots with the ai camera first let's do with

00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:11.600
no ai hi james

00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:16.880
i'm trying to do you a service here by taking a good picture of you not easy

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:24.000
now let's turn on ai photography and it has identified that this is a person

00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:27.759
and it looks like it went and applied a background blur effect

00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:33.840
so that's an interesting thing for it to do on its own let's try some food

00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:38.240
that is not very photogenic food but i'm sure it tastes good look at that

00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:43.199
it identified food thought it was person for a second there all right a car

00:06:39.919 --> 00:06:43.199
should be a pretty easy one

00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:49.600
yep wow that did not take long the instant i turned on ai it was like yup

00:06:48.479 --> 00:06:53.680
that's a car let's find some nature

00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:58.560
dang nature you pretty yep i get a little flower icon

00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:03.680
so i want to talk about what an npu actually does while we have a look at

00:07:00.880 --> 00:07:09.440
the shots from the ai versus non-ai photo comparison here subjectively i

00:07:06.880 --> 00:07:13.520
like a more natural look to my photos so i would probably have it off in many

00:07:12.479 --> 00:07:18.720
cases but the underlying technology here is

00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:24.319
really the big story to me we've been at the point for a while now where a phone

00:07:21.599 --> 00:07:29.680
CPU can be expected to do all of the normal stuff that you'd want from it

00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:32.000
really well you know run the ui smoothly

00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:38.160
bring up your apps list open apps whatever the case may be without

00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:40.880
a ton of perceptible leg so what an npu

00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:46.080
does is it is a specialized processor it actually gets dedicated silicon that is

00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:50.400
designed for convoluted neural networks so this doesn't mean that all of a

00:07:47.599 --> 00:07:54.720
sudden you can just turn on ai mode and run around in the world with you know

00:07:52.400 --> 00:07:58.879
pointing your phone's camera at things and it's just gonna start to

00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:03.919
have a broad understanding of the world but what it does mean is that a neural

00:08:01.599 --> 00:08:09.039
network model one that would have to be trained by a very powerful computer

00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:15.280
probably in a data center somewhere can be more easily understood using this

00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:20.879
kind of client-side neural networking technology so the powerful server trains

00:08:18.400 --> 00:08:23.759
the model creates a simplified version of it that

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:27.360
honor will push to your phone with an update and then your npu does what's

00:08:26.479 --> 00:08:32.240
called inferencing in order to feed that model

00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:37.200
some new piece of data like you're pointing your phone at a cat

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:40.080
and then infer what it's supposed to be

00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:44.560
from the model that it has downloaded so at this point the npu is being used

00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:48.959
primarily to monitor usage patterns and then optimize the processor's use of

00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:53.519
power so that you'll get as much battery life as possible out of the phone

00:08:50.959 --> 00:08:57.440
and to recognize photography subjects with the camera and then adjust the

00:08:55.360 --> 00:09:02.800
camera's settings accordingly so

00:08:58.880 --> 00:09:04.800
calling it ai is a little bit optimistic

00:09:02.800 --> 00:09:09.040
it's not like it's got like jarvis built into your phone or anything like that so

00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:14.480
right now it has the ability to uh recognize an animal or a pet but new

00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:18.240
models that honor could push via updates could give it the capability of being

00:09:16.160 --> 00:09:23.279
able to tell the difference between a cat and a dog and a a a possum that

00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:28.480
one's unlikely but like a possum for example meaning that it can in fact get

00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:33.440
smarter over time even if the actual training doesn't take place on the

00:09:30.880 --> 00:09:36.880
device itself so that's pretty much my rundown of the honor 10. you guys can
