1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,680 The right to repair movement is moving full speed ahead and iFixit and Nokia are making sure of it 2 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:11,460 by working together to make the G22 a fully repairable phone, kind of. 3 00:00:11,460 --> 00:00:15,120 And at least it's easier to repair. So we're gonna see if I can do some repairs. 4 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,920 I asked logistics to break some part of the phone to see if I can figure out what it is 5 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,560 and see if I can actually fix it with the parts provided from iFixit. 6 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,320 Let's start with the unboxing here. I do like the just plain cardboard look. 7 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,280 It's pretty slick. You got the iFixit logo on the back there so you know it's gonna be very repairable. 8 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,080 And then inside here, we have the phone. 9 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,040 I don't know what's wrong with it. I can't tell. Let's see what else is in the box though. 10 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,120 In the box we have our manual, a sim popper, 11 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:47,120 and just a USB C2C cable, three footer. 12 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,000 One thing I actually just noticed is the lack of plastic is pretty darn nice. 13 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,200 It's all just cardboard and paper and I'm sure it's even recycled paper 14 00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:00,040 but I cannot confirm that. Look at the phone itself. It comes with a, well I guess this is plastic, 15 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,120 this little plastic cheap case that comes with a lot of the budget phones. 16 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,040 Nice to have, keep your phone safe. Nice. 17 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,360 Wow, this is actually a big phone. I don't know, I kind of just assumed, maybe I just associate Nokia with small phones 18 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:18,800 ever since they're little bricky kind of phones but this is a 6.5 inch 720p display. 19 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:24,800 It is 90 Hertz which is nice but 720p on such a big screen is a little bit disappointing 20 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,040 but we'll see more when we get it all turned on. Other than that, it is a plastic body 21 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:34,200 so it's got the plastic ridges. It's Corning Gorilla Glass 3 which is a bit older 22 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:40,120 but maybe keeps the cost down and then the back is just a 100% recycled plastic back. 23 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,240 I like the color, it's a blue and also comes in a gray. 24 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,360 It's pretty good though. I actually usually prefer a black phone. This is a nice, nice blue. 25 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,680 I like the contrast between the ridges on the sides 26 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,000 and the blue, like a dark water blue, it's nice. 27 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,680 But you can't tell, it's pretty fingerprinty. 28 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,800 I swear I washed my hands, I swear. 29 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:06,800 Let's take a look at the rest of the phone. On the right side of the phone here we have our power button and fingerprint scanner combo, 30 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,760 a volume rocker. On the top we got absolutely nothing, 31 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,240 no mics or anything. On the left side we have our SIM tray 32 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,240 and I should open that up because I believe this has an SD card slot. 33 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,720 Yeah, so we have our SIM card, SD card combo 34 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,720 which is great so you can put up to a terabyte, 35 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,240 two terabytes. It actually can be limited by software in the phone 36 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,000 which is odd. On the bottom here, I'm liking what I'm seeing. 37 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,680 We have a headphone jack. We've got a mic hole, we've got USB-C 38 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:41,480 and we've got speakers. So this has got everything you need. 39 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,320 Great, you can use one cable for your switch, your laptop, your phone. 40 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:50,080 You got your microphone for recording stuff and things. But yeah, the headphone jack is great to see it. 41 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:55,240 It's something that's missing in many high-end phones. It appears in a lot of budget phones which is odd 42 00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:00,560 but we'll take these dubs. And then on the back we have our triple camera setup. 43 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,240 So we have a 50 megapixel main camera, a two megapixel depth camera 44 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:10,880 and a two megapixel macro camera. So you pretty much have one camera. 45 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,880 You don't really use the depth camera. Usually cameras will use it to get faster focus, 46 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,120 maybe a bit more contrast. But you know, flagships don't use a depth camera 47 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,320 that's not really all that necessary. And then a macro camera, I mean, 48 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,000 we've seen a few in the past that are pretty darn trash but we'll try it again and see if it's any good. 49 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,320 And then of course we have our flash here. Oh, it's not just a 50 megapixel camera. 50 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,560 It's a 50 megapixel AI camera. Whoa. 51 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,680 And then just a tasteful Nokia. Okay, I should acknowledge this now. 52 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,280 Is it Nokia or Nokia? I've got no, I, no Kia. 53 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,880 I've, hmm, we'll workshop it. What's interesting is that it is landscape. 54 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,040 Usually it's vertical because that's how you hold it for most of the time. But now if you're taking pictures, 55 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,240 seeing that will make anybody smile. Well, I can't hold it in any longer. 56 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,520 There does seem to be an issue with this front screen. It looks like somebody dropped it. 57 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,560 I thought I asked logistics to break this phone, not Linus. 58 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,680 So before we get everything turned on, let's see if I can fix this. 59 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,600 I am not handy at all. So Nokia and I fix it claim 60 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,200 that this is an easier to repair device. So you don't need any crazy tools. 61 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,400 And they should be able to do most everything with just a screwdriver and the kind of guitar pick lift 62 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,840 to get the back of the screen off. So on their store, they actually have a few options to buy 63 00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:31,760 straight from my fix it. So they have the back glass, the screen, 64 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,880 a charge port and the battery. So kind of the most common things to go wrong. 65 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,960 And obviously we are gonna need to do the screen, 66 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,920 which might be the hardest or at least the most complicated to get to 67 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,360 because we're gonna take apart most of the phone to get there. I might need to call Van, we'll see. 68 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,640 So to get myself a little bit of help though, I'm gonna pull up by fix its guide on the repair 69 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,080 to make sure I don't mess anything up because I don't even really know 70 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,640 the first step of getting into the phone here. All right, step one, we gotta eject the SIM tray. 71 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,760 Get that out of there. Oh, that's cool. So actually have like a little, 72 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,640 I don't know if you will see it. There's a little notch inside of this 73 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,320 where you put the pick. Slide it down the phone. 74 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:16,240 We got this. Come on now. Oh, but I gotta be careful 75 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,640 because there's a little ribbon here. Yeah, if this doesn't work, the video's very short. 76 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,280 There's a big warning. It's like, do not puncture the battery. 77 00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:30,120 I'll show you. So I said the fingerprint scanner and the motherboard frame at least so far 78 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,920 are using the same type of screws. That's one less thing to have to worry about mixing up, 79 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,520 but we'll see how many screws there are after getting all this out. 80 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,720 Now I've seen things break from ripping them off contact, so I wanna be really careful here. 81 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,760 Oh, that was easy. So far, this is a lot easier than I anticipated. 82 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:51,040 Now we're going to unfasten the loudspeaker, which is all these bottom screws, 83 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,920 which when I just read, should be the same length as every other screw so far, 84 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,000 which is nice. 85 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,720 It is, huh. So that's what the instead of a phone looks like. 86 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:09,040 Had no idea. And now we have our first different sized screw, 87 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,080 which is for the charging port. So we're gonna take away this little guy. 88 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,840 This one's only 2.8 millimeters, just a small boy, 89 00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:22,400 unfastening the motherboard. And these are more of the different sized ones, 90 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,560 but luckily still the same size as that charging port screw. 91 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,120 And it's nice that the smaller screws are a different color from the rest. So it's really easy to tell. 92 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,520 All right, this is the main brain of the phone. 93 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,360 Crazy. Oh my God, how many steps are there? 94 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:43,440 You didn't look before. No. I did say though, I'm pretty nervous 95 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,400 because I don't fix stuff. The images are super helpful. 96 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,600 Really easy to see what you're supposed to do next. 97 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,160 All right, this is what the new screen looks like. And it looks like it does not have that camera bracket. 98 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,800 So we're gonna need to take it out. Now this one has a scary warning. 99 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,840 To be, we're loosening the battery tabs and it's making very sure you're aware 100 00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:06,240 that you could cause a fire or leak dangerous chemicals. 101 00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:11,280 It is definitely glued in there, which is a little disappointing. 102 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:18,040 All right, so I just gotta put the new battery and the new screen and pretty much do everything in reverse. 103 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:23,120 But one notice I don't like is that, compare the new assembly to the original part. 104 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,840 You may need to transfer remaining components before you install it. 105 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:33,720 One of the annoying things about having to reuse so many parts is that like this foam pad is mangled. 106 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,640 I hope that's not super important for that piece of the camera 107 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,560 that now is mangled. The power button and volume button ribbon 108 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,080 that they had me take off to reuse is actually already on this piece. 109 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:51,920 I feel like this bracket and foam piece should have also been on there, but it seems like maybe some sets might. 110 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,240 I don't know why everyone wouldn't though. I don't think it's kind of annoying. I got to the part to put in the motherboard 111 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,760 and it's telling me to reapply thermal paste to the squares where it says to do so. 112 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,520 But I don't necessarily have thermal paste. Like I work at LTT, obviously I'll just walk 113 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,840 and go get some, but when I'm at home or if I didn't work here, 114 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,280 I'd have to go out and buy it now. And it's actually not listed 115 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,240 in the what you need section. There's somewhere, there's an optional tape, 116 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,740 but there's no thermal paste or anything in there. Taking apart is a hard part. 117 00:08:18,740 --> 00:08:23,200 Putting back together is easy. Damn! 118 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:28,000 From Linus-ified to brand new. 119 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,460 All right, it might look a lot better and like Linus hasn't gotten ahold of it, 120 00:08:31,460 --> 00:08:37,560 but we got to make sure it turns on. This is IP52, which is dust and water resistant, 121 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,120 it's just rain resistant, so we find the rain, but after doing a repair, 122 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,680 I might be a little bit hesitant to think it still is. Like I said, I know there are some parts 123 00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:51,760 that look a little bit different than before, but with just rain resistance, it's probably fine. 124 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,800 Look at that, it turns on. I did it! 125 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,040 You know, that wasn't too bad. I feel like the repair process was a little scary, 126 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,320 but if you've done any repairs whatsoever before, you're probably fine. 127 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,920 All right, let's check out what this has inside for specs. It's interesting to see. 128 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,040 Come on, man. This isn't any of you. Oh, that button definitely don't press no more. 129 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,480 Oh, no. No, the volume rocker. 130 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:21,200 I can only turn it up. It looks like I might've gotten the volume rocker wrong, 131 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,240 which is interesting, because that's actually one I didn't have to do. It can't pre-done, but the volume down 132 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,320 does not work anymore. I can only do volume up. But it's also interesting to see what apps come pre-installed on this. 133 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,560 So some of these are from Labs, but like Booking.com, ExpressVPN, 134 00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:39,240 those definitely are not ones that we load on. It's not like a ton of bloatware, 135 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,400 but it is something to be aware of. It does have some extra goo thrown in. 136 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,280 All right, so for specs, we have 128 gigs of storage, which again is expandable via microSD. 137 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,080 And then it has four gigs of RAM, which is definitely not a lot. 138 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,840 It might be something that limits this phone for maybe getting later Android versions. 139 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,880 They do promise two years of major OS updates 140 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,040 and then three years of monthly security updates, which is nice to see. 141 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,920 But the fact that this is starting on 12, it doesn't seem like it bodes well for that, 142 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:12,080 but I'm not 100% sure. And then as for SOC, it's using the Unisoc T606, 143 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,760 which is definitely a low-end chip. 144 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,800 We're gonna talk about performance a little bit here, but it is already a couple of years old 145 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,000 and it was pretty low-end at the time. What this might have, 146 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,160 I mean, we can only turn the volume up. So we may as well try doing some crab rave 147 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,120 and checking out what the screen looks like. Yeah, that definitely doesn't sound good. 148 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,360 It's definitely only coming out of the right time, using the earpiece speaker as a left channel, even faintly. 149 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,680 It just doesn't really have any details on how many bass or anything like that. 150 00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:41,720 And then the screen itself, it's a little rough. It does not look great. 151 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,440 There's some ghosting, even when the crabs are moving back and forth, or even when I was just swiping to get to the video. 152 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,440 It did not look good. There was a lot of ghosting, even at this 90 Hertz. 153 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,200 But I don't watch a ton on my phone. If you're somebody who actually really cares 154 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,200 about what your content looks like, or you watch a lot of videos on your phone, you're gonna be like, 155 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,600 you actually really cares about what your content looks like, or you watch a lot on your phone. 156 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,720 The screen's not that great. And if you like listening to music, the speaker's not that great. 157 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,640 Let's try out the cameras though. It's a God High Hopes, 50 megapixel AI camera. 158 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,120 That's crazy. All right, I went outside and took some photos, 159 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:17,480 and let's see how they turned out. This first photo I took in the 50 megapixel mode, 160 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,040 and it looks okay. It's not really loading up the full resolution 161 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,160 until you zoom in, which is interesting. And then it kind of just fades back out 162 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,800 until you zoom in again, which means that the photo kind of always looks blurry. 163 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,720 But the colors are pretty good. Like it pops a lot, which is surprising. 164 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,760 Moving over to this photo of the motorcycle, 165 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,080 it definitely has an HDR effect where it seems like software is trying 166 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,560 to kind of brighten up what it thinks should be bright and darken what it thinks should be darkened. 167 00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:46,200 But again, I actually don't think it's too bad. 168 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,520 Again, I wouldn't want to post this anywhere. 169 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,800 But for a quick text, it'd be fine. Now for the one with it turned off, 170 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,600 I actually like the color a bit better. It's more contrasty. 171 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,640 So maybe you just want a full bright photo 172 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,960 and everything to be really even, but this would be a 12 megapixel photo. 173 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:09,800 So it's just taking those 50 megapixels and bending down. And yeah, I think it looks pretty decent actually. 174 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,040 Whoa, there's Dan. Dan, say hi. 175 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,680 Well, let's try the macro camera. We'll use our little friend here. 176 00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:22,960 Let's get the lowest quality photo of this little guy. Right away, this has the same issue 177 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,280 as the unit hurts Luna and some of the other budget phones. It doesn't tell you what four centimeters is. 178 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,040 And I don't know. I do like that when you get the phone close to an object in the normal shooting mode, 179 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,600 it alerts you to change to the macro mode. As for photo, yeah, I mean, 180 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:39,600 it looks like every single macro camera, which is not good. It's very yellowy. 181 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,280 The focus is okay, but the quality of the photo 182 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:48,080 is two megapixels, which means it is bad. On the front here, we have an eight megapixel camera. 183 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,400 I've got high hopes. Eight is a good number. 184 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:56,240 Does it have any modes on? It does. Oh, you can change the shape of bokeh. 185 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,800 That's cool. Oh, interesting. So that's not beauty modes. 186 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,840 It's changing how intense the shape of the bokeh 187 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:08,200 is in these different shapes. I don't know why all of them are turned on, 188 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,240 but I want butterflies and I want it to be maximum. 189 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:16,600 I'll tell you for the photo, it actually doesn't look bad. The color is a little off. 190 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:23,180 I don't know. There's just something about, it looks pretty washed out, but the sharpness, not too bad for eight megapixels. 191 00:13:23,180 --> 00:13:26,180 I don't know. Overall, I don't think I'd actually, again, want to share this photo of me, 192 00:13:26,180 --> 00:13:29,220 but it's not bad if my mom said, are you alive? 193 00:13:29,220 --> 00:13:33,300 Well, let's check out the video. I've got high hopes for that. Yeah, this video looks really bad. 194 00:13:33,300 --> 00:13:37,180 Hey, the microphone works. How does it sound? 195 00:13:37,180 --> 00:13:40,780 I know, but I'm just proving it to you that it does not sound good. 196 00:13:40,780 --> 00:13:44,900 Again, the colors really, really look off in the video. 197 00:13:45,860 --> 00:13:48,900 Just looks like I'm looking through a bottle 198 00:13:48,900 --> 00:13:53,100 where the lenses are very dirty, but I promise you, I did not touch them with my fingers. 199 00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:56,860 It just looks a little rough. One thing I've read to try out is the fingerprint scanner. 200 00:13:56,860 --> 00:13:58,020 So let's try that out. 201 00:14:00,060 --> 00:14:05,100 Hey, that's pretty quick. One thing I haven't mentioned, even just booting into this, is that it does have quite a bit of a chin and forehead. 202 00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:09,820 This is quite a bit of a forehead considering that there's also a cutout for the notch. 203 00:14:09,820 --> 00:14:13,660 So we sent the phone over to lab to get tested and the results are pretty unimpressive. 204 00:14:13,660 --> 00:14:17,020 Framing it in Wii on Dolphin, where we'll get a median of 25 FPS 205 00:14:17,020 --> 00:14:22,700 with a 1% low of 22 FPS. On Genshin Impact, we had a median of nine FPS. 206 00:14:22,700 --> 00:14:25,700 In Call of Duty Mobile, we got 21 FPS. 207 00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:29,780 And let me tell you, as somebody who's actually just playing the game, it feels rough. 208 00:14:29,780 --> 00:14:33,700 Of course, one thing to note is that these are pretty challenging games to run, 209 00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:38,460 but even though this is a budget phone, if you're buying a phone in 2023, 210 00:14:38,460 --> 00:14:43,380 you'd hope you'd be able to play games from what, 2019? 211 00:14:43,380 --> 00:14:47,220 And it can't do that very well. We also had them check out the battery life, 212 00:14:47,220 --> 00:14:52,980 and that was another mixed bag. So for longevity, which is watching YouTube videos, 213 00:14:52,980 --> 00:14:59,260 streaming on Wi-Fi at about 50% brightness, you will get 18 hours of battery life, which is okay. 214 00:14:59,260 --> 00:15:03,460 When compared to flagships, it's not great, but again, this is a phone that's quite a bit smaller. 215 00:15:03,460 --> 00:15:09,060 But when you look at it the other way, this is a budget phone with a budget SOC 216 00:15:09,060 --> 00:15:12,780 and a 5,050 milliamp hour battery. 217 00:15:12,780 --> 00:15:17,180 They claim it gets up to three days of battery, which is of course not using it consistently that whole time, 218 00:15:17,180 --> 00:15:20,660 but to get one of the lowest results that we've actually tested so far, 219 00:15:20,660 --> 00:15:26,180 when you have such a big battery and an SOC that should be just sipping power, 220 00:15:26,180 --> 00:15:30,080 I do expect a bit better. For the battery stress test, 221 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:36,020 the number does look pretty impressive, 11.1 hours at max CPU and GPU, 222 00:15:36,020 --> 00:15:40,780 but the stress test actually failed miserably. 223 00:15:40,780 --> 00:15:45,780 I say that because it got 0.7 frames a second. 224 00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:50,500 It wasn't even actually able to perform well enough for long enough to even drain the battery. 225 00:15:50,500 --> 00:15:55,700 It just got throttled and struggled so much that it never got to its full potential. 226 00:15:55,700 --> 00:16:00,820 Now you might be saying, I don't do a ton of gaming. I just use apps on my phone like Instagram 227 00:16:00,820 --> 00:16:06,500 or whatever like that. And we tested app launching as well and the numbers were equally unimpressive. 228 00:16:06,500 --> 00:16:09,940 Compared to flagships that we've tested previously, 229 00:16:09,940 --> 00:16:13,780 this launches apps horrifically slowly 230 00:16:13,780 --> 00:16:18,780 with Instagram cold launching at eight and a half seconds. 231 00:16:18,940 --> 00:16:23,580 What is nice though is that the phone does get nice and bright at 500 nits brightness. 232 00:16:23,580 --> 00:16:28,180 It's got that going for it, though our Labs did again kind of confirm what I was saying 233 00:16:28,180 --> 00:16:32,620 that there is quite a bad ghosting issue and that the response times are very poor. 234 00:16:32,620 --> 00:16:36,140 So what does this cost? 235 00:16:36,140 --> 00:16:39,560 For a phone that's very repairable and engineered as such, 236 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:46,600 but has a big battery, but also has pretty low tier grill glass and SOC. 237 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:51,320 It's unavailable everywhere, but it does cost 200 euros, 238 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:57,040 which is like 220 US dollars. And that seems like it should be cheap for a phone. 239 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,120 But again, the performance just really wasn't there 240 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,240 and the cameras weren't that great. Labs actually had mentioned that the SOC 241 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,520 and that should be something in a $99 phone, not a $200 phone. 242 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:13,320 $220 doesn't sound like a lot, but when you think about the other phones you can get, 243 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,960 you can get a used iPhone XR or eight or SE 244 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,640 at around that price. You can get a lot of the A series Samsung's 245 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,160 from that round that price. You can get Motorola's Moto G. 246 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,360 There are quite a few options from brands that I don't want to offend Nokia, 247 00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:30,840 but a little bit more relevant or maybe has a bit more staying power. 248 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,880 Because I mean, yeah, you could fix this yourself and keep it, you know, lasting you for years 249 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:40,340 and years and years, but if the OS is at a date and the SOC's running slow from the day you get it, 250 00:17:40,340 --> 00:17:45,420 are you really going to want to use it for that long? The nice thing is that the parts aren't too expensive. 251 00:17:45,420 --> 00:17:50,180 The screen's the most expensive part at $55, with the others being $30 and $25. 252 00:17:50,180 --> 00:17:54,380 So it's not like it's going to cost you a whole lot to do these repairs, but again, 253 00:17:54,380 --> 00:17:58,700 I don't know if it's really all that worth it. But what do you think? I'm totally okay being wrong. 254 00:17:58,700 --> 00:18:03,940 Let me know if this is a phone that you see yourself buying and maybe even how long you think you could go using it. 255 00:18:03,940 --> 00:18:09,180 I'm very curious as somebody who used a lot of phones that are notoriously hard to repair.
