WEBVTT

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.220
Jono, it also does the selfie camera.

00:00:02.220 --> 00:00:03.060
Oh, cool.

00:00:03.060 --> 00:00:03.900
Look at this.

00:00:03.900 --> 00:00:04.720
What?

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:05.560
Look at this.

00:00:05.560 --> 00:00:07.980
There's six screens on this right now.

00:00:07.980 --> 00:00:08.900
I'm back.

00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:10.760
We saw this and we were interested enough,

00:00:10.760 --> 00:00:12.160
had to get it in to try it.

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:16.260
The ZTE Axon 40 Ultra.

00:00:16.260 --> 00:00:20.020
I have actually not touched a ZTE phone in a long time.

00:00:20.020 --> 00:00:23.400
They're actually using the Sony IMX787,

00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:25.480
which is a sensor that as far as I know,

00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:29.160
isn't in a phone that I've actually tried out at all.

00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:31.800
Do you remember when phone boxes were this big still?

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:33.700
The phone that we just did in our previous video,

00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:36.440
the Xperia, it was just the phone in the box.

00:00:36.440 --> 00:00:39.580
And this looks like there's actually an unboxing experience.

00:00:39.580 --> 00:00:41.240
So why don't we take a look?

00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:42.640
Packaging is nice.

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:44.260
Oh yeah, there's our SIM tool.

00:00:44.260 --> 00:00:46.390
Oh, hey.

00:00:46.390 --> 00:00:49.950
I find it funny that like all Chinese manufacturers' phones

00:00:49.950 --> 00:00:54.490
just include this kind of like cheapo plastic TPU case

00:00:54.490 --> 00:00:56.410
with their phones because they know no one

00:00:56.410 --> 00:00:58.530
is really gonna be making cases for their phones.

00:00:58.530 --> 00:00:59.370
Like yeah, there'll be certain places.

00:00:59.370 --> 00:01:03.050
This is, I believe a 65 watt charger.

00:01:03.050 --> 00:01:05.110
It's actually, this is a heavy brick.

00:01:05.110 --> 00:01:06.830
Yep, 65 watts, cool.

00:01:06.830 --> 00:01:07.750
That's actually pretty awesome.

00:01:07.750 --> 00:01:10.610
I mean, it's, it's a hefty boy.

00:01:10.610 --> 00:01:12.190
Look at the shape of this.

00:01:12.190 --> 00:01:17.010
This literally looks like corded AirPod.

00:01:17.010 --> 00:01:18.130
It's a headphone jack.

00:01:18.130 --> 00:01:18.970
Yeah, it's a headphone.

00:01:18.970 --> 00:01:20.830
Oh yeah, so that's, I've completely forgot

00:01:20.830 --> 00:01:23.990
that headphone jacks are just not, yeah, this phone.

00:01:23.990 --> 00:01:25.810
Wait, hang on.

00:01:25.810 --> 00:01:28.210
I don't think this has a headphone jack on it.

00:01:28.210 --> 00:01:29.050
There's a Type-C.

00:01:29.050 --> 00:01:32.590
Type-C to headphone adapter.

00:01:32.590 --> 00:01:34.840
What?

00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:36.600
Are you serious?

00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:38.640
You took the headphone jack off your phone,

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:43.140
but you included a set of wired earphones with an adapter?

00:01:43.140 --> 00:01:44.440
That's just silly.

00:01:44.440 --> 00:01:46.860
And the last thing in the box is a pretty standard,

00:01:46.860 --> 00:01:49.360
but nice looking Type-C to C cable.

00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:51.120
Okay, let's take a look at the phone physically.

00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:53.380
This is a very large camera bump.

00:01:53.380 --> 00:01:54.960
We will get back to this.

00:01:54.960 --> 00:01:56.460
David, do you notice anything?

00:01:56.460 --> 00:01:58.920
There's no selfie hole punch.

00:01:58.920 --> 00:01:59.850
Oh buddy.

00:01:59.850 --> 00:02:00.990
On the display.

00:02:00.990 --> 00:02:05.810
And there's no raised from the top of the phone selfie camera.

00:02:05.810 --> 00:02:08.970
This is apparently a third generation

00:02:08.970 --> 00:02:12.610
in-screen selfie camera on this display.

00:02:12.610 --> 00:02:15.250
If you guys want to know how the first two generations

00:02:15.250 --> 00:02:16.350
of the selfie camera performed,

00:02:16.350 --> 00:02:19.590
you can check out Linus' coverage of those videos here.

00:02:19.590 --> 00:02:20.930
I could get used to that, right?

00:02:20.930 --> 00:02:22.730
Like this looks really good.

00:02:22.730 --> 00:02:27.110
So this is a 6.8 inch, 2480 by 1116 display.

00:02:27.110 --> 00:02:28.670
No notch, very impressive.

00:02:28.670 --> 00:02:29.690
It is curved.

00:02:29.690 --> 00:02:32.450
So some of you might like that.

00:02:32.450 --> 00:02:34.850
Some of you might hate it,

00:02:34.850 --> 00:02:38.070
but physically the phone feels very flagship,

00:02:38.070 --> 00:02:40.730
very premium, nice soft touch metal.

00:02:40.730 --> 00:02:44.450
And it's got kind of like a glistening metal finish

00:02:44.450 --> 00:02:46.090
that looks pretty anti-scratch.

00:02:46.090 --> 00:02:47.750
Like it doesn't even pick up fingerprints,

00:02:47.750 --> 00:02:49.230
which is really nice actually.

00:02:49.230 --> 00:02:51.610
Like nothing.

00:02:51.610 --> 00:02:54.890
Yes, glossy phones look great in marketing images

00:02:54.890 --> 00:02:56.530
and they feel good in the hand,

00:02:56.530 --> 00:02:57.750
but then you'll look at the back

00:02:57.750 --> 00:02:59.570
and you feel disgusted with yourself.

00:02:59.570 --> 00:03:00.710
But not on this phone.

00:03:00.710 --> 00:03:02.110
On the left of the phone,

00:03:02.110 --> 00:03:05.910
we have absolutely nothing but antennas, which is nice.

00:03:05.910 --> 00:03:07.070
I actually don't mind that at all.

00:03:07.070 --> 00:03:07.910
It feels good.

00:03:07.910 --> 00:03:10.490
And on the right of the phone, we have your standard volume.

00:03:10.490 --> 00:03:11.330
Can you even see?

00:03:11.330 --> 00:03:12.150
Look how thin that is.

00:03:12.150 --> 00:03:14.810
We have your standard volume rocker and power button.

00:03:14.810 --> 00:03:16.690
Let's see if this is already a program shortcut.

00:03:16.690 --> 00:03:18.570
If I double press the power button, does it?

00:03:18.570 --> 00:03:19.670
Nope, it locks the phone.

00:03:19.670 --> 00:03:22.010
But there's no double tap for open camera,

00:03:22.010 --> 00:03:22.950
at least not by default.

00:03:22.950 --> 00:03:23.770
I'm not sure.

00:03:23.770 --> 00:03:25.330
I'm sure you could also just customize that.

00:03:25.330 --> 00:03:28.670
Top of the phone, there's a sensor and a speaker on here,

00:03:28.670 --> 00:03:30.590
with also two antenna bands.

00:03:30.590 --> 00:03:33.470
On the bottom, we've got your SIM tray

00:03:33.470 --> 00:03:36.290
and your type C connector with another speaker.

00:03:36.290 --> 00:03:37.850
I mean, that's kind of it physically.

00:03:37.850 --> 00:03:40.450
This camera bump is gigantic, as I mentioned.

00:03:40.450 --> 00:03:41.910
So I'm about to play a couple of videos

00:03:41.910 --> 00:03:44.350
and try some sound on this phone.

00:03:44.350 --> 00:03:47.730
But before we do that, a word from our sponsor, Manscaped.

00:03:47.730 --> 00:03:49.670
Their performance package 4.0 is designed

00:03:49.670 --> 00:03:50.830
to contain everything you need

00:03:50.830 --> 00:03:52.770
to make grooming below the waist easy.

00:03:52.770 --> 00:03:55.050
It includes the updated Lawn Mower 4.0

00:03:55.050 --> 00:03:56.490
with its wireless charging,

00:03:56.490 --> 00:03:58.670
weed whacker nose trimmer for the tricky areas,

00:03:58.670 --> 00:04:00.490
plus some other goodies like the crop preserver

00:04:00.490 --> 00:04:03.830

Get 20% off plus free international shipping

00:04:06.030 --> 00:04:07.810
in the link in the video description.

00:04:07.810 --> 00:04:09.770
This display looks really good.

00:04:09.770 --> 00:04:11.770
I'm not looking at it side by side to anything,

00:04:11.770 --> 00:04:14.010
but just right off the bat, it looks good.

00:04:24.280 --> 00:04:26.220
Side by side to the iPhone,

00:04:26.220 --> 00:04:29.500
it's obviously not really living up to it,

00:04:29.500 --> 00:04:32.440
but on its own, it doesn't sound bad.

00:04:32.440 --> 00:04:34.000
I'm not an audio expert by any stretch,

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:35.500
but this is just my assessment of it.

00:04:35.500 --> 00:04:37.240
The mid range sounds pretty good.

00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:38.660
I would not be upset

00:04:38.660 --> 00:04:40.640
that this is what my phone speakers sound like.

00:04:40.640 --> 00:04:41.480
Totally adequate.

00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:42.520
You wouldn't miss anything.

00:04:42.520 --> 00:04:44.560
I don't think I have a final price on this phone yet,

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:49.630
but it is around 799 USD, which actually is not bad.

00:04:50.370 --> 00:04:53.070
It's really nice these days that flagship phones,

00:04:53.070 --> 00:04:56.370
especially, don't skimp on battery

00:04:56.370 --> 00:05:00.270
because this phone has a whopping 5,000 milliamp hours.

00:05:00.270 --> 00:05:03.330
This thing is running a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

00:05:03.330 --> 00:05:04.910
So we saw this in the most recent video.

00:05:04.910 --> 00:05:05.570
So we saw this in the most recent video.

00:05:05.570 --> 00:05:07.190
It's an Xperia phone as well.

00:05:07.190 --> 00:05:09.190
I want to talk about this.

00:05:09.190 --> 00:05:11.550
This camera bump, this massive,

00:05:11.550 --> 00:05:14.690
like look at this thick boy camera bump

00:05:14.690 --> 00:05:18.470
is 64 megapixels on each one of these cameras.

00:05:18.470 --> 00:05:22.350
And then they also have this periscopic,

00:05:22.350 --> 00:05:24.110
but it's a periscope design,

00:05:24.110 --> 00:05:25.770
which is actually really interesting.

00:05:25.770 --> 00:05:27.270
And it's a 91 millimeter focal length.

00:05:27.270 --> 00:05:28.750
So it's your telephoto.

00:05:28.750 --> 00:05:31.950
Higher resolution on a phone, in my experience,

00:05:31.950 --> 00:05:34.470
has not led to better photos.

00:05:34.470 --> 00:05:35.550
You don't necessarily have to be

00:05:35.550 --> 00:05:37.390
able to really want a lot of pixels

00:05:37.390 --> 00:05:39.630
in a sensor that is this size.

00:05:39.630 --> 00:05:41.810
Cause this is still a smartphone,

00:05:41.810 --> 00:05:44.430
mobile sensor size camera on this phone.

00:05:44.430 --> 00:05:45.590
It's not a one inch sensor.

00:05:45.590 --> 00:05:48.030
It's not like a two thirds inch sensor.

00:05:48.030 --> 00:05:50.570
So you're really packing in a lot of resolution

00:05:50.570 --> 00:05:53.830
and potential noise using such a high resolution sensor

00:05:53.830 --> 00:05:54.670
on a phone.

00:05:54.670 --> 00:05:58.170
Anyways, let's take a, we got a pro mode.

00:05:58.170 --> 00:05:59.050
We got a street mode.

00:05:59.050 --> 00:06:00.350
What's camera friendly?

00:06:00.350 --> 00:06:02.010
The slow motion mode on this phone,

00:06:02.010 --> 00:06:04.890
it's got 240 FPS, 480 FPS, 960 FPS.

00:06:04.890 --> 00:06:09.390
And 1920 FPS.

00:06:09.390 --> 00:06:10.650
I'm trying the 1920.

00:06:12.890 --> 00:06:14.170
When you hit record,

00:06:14.170 --> 00:06:17.630
it only actually rolls for about five seconds.

00:06:17.630 --> 00:06:20.030
And then it just processes the video.

00:06:20.030 --> 00:06:22.510
So let's take a look there.

00:06:22.510 --> 00:06:25.210
Oh, okay.

00:06:25.210 --> 00:06:30.210
So the 720P 1920 FPS is kind of garbage tier.

00:06:30.750 --> 00:06:34.730
The 240 FPS is not amazing, but respectable.

00:06:34.730 --> 00:06:38.370
The detail is not crazy, but it's not awful.

00:06:38.370 --> 00:06:39.450
I've seen worse.

00:06:39.450 --> 00:06:40.770
Three, four years ago,

00:06:40.770 --> 00:06:43.330
we couldn't even say that most phones have slow motion.

00:06:43.330 --> 00:06:44.290
And now they do.

00:06:44.290 --> 00:06:45.770
I can't test this right now,

00:06:45.770 --> 00:06:48.770
but if you pointed this thing at the big dipper,

00:06:48.770 --> 00:06:51.310
it would show you that like spoon outline

00:06:51.310 --> 00:06:52.310
that is the big dipper.

00:06:52.310 --> 00:06:53.150
So that's kind of cool.

00:06:53.150 --> 00:06:54.770
Wow, there's two pages guys.

00:06:54.770 --> 00:06:56.010
Look at this.

00:06:56.010 --> 00:06:59.010
So there's all of these ones,

00:06:59.010 --> 00:07:01.290
but then you go over and there's more.

00:07:01.290 --> 00:07:03.730
Panorama, vlog, art, camera, Hitchcock.

00:07:03.730 --> 00:07:04.730
Hitchcock?

00:07:04.730 --> 00:07:05.730
Hitchcock on his own mode?

00:07:05.730 --> 00:07:06.570
Good for him.

00:07:06.570 --> 00:07:07.410
What does that mean?

00:07:07.410 --> 00:07:08.250
What does this mean?

00:07:08.250 --> 00:07:10.610
What, what?

00:07:10.610 --> 00:07:12.970
Is it gonna be birds everywhere?

00:07:12.970 --> 00:07:14.890
Oh, it is the vertigo thing.

00:07:14.890 --> 00:07:15.730
Wait, is it?

00:07:15.730 --> 00:07:16.570
Is it?

00:07:16.570 --> 00:07:17.410
It is.

00:07:17.410 --> 00:07:18.250
It totally is.

00:07:18.250 --> 00:07:19.090
Oh, that's so funny.

00:07:19.090 --> 00:07:21.410
Oh, and it's using like digital zoom to compensate.

00:07:21.410 --> 00:07:23.690
When you're, Hitchcock did this thing.

00:07:23.690 --> 00:07:26.250
It's like the dolly zoom where you dolly in on the camera,

00:07:26.250 --> 00:07:27.350
but you zoom in at the same time.

00:07:27.350 --> 00:07:28.970
And it gives it this like surreal effect

00:07:28.970 --> 00:07:30.330
where the background only moves,

00:07:30.330 --> 00:07:32.910
but the subject stays in the same place.

00:07:34.890 --> 00:07:36.810
It's kind of gimmicky, but they're fun.

00:07:36.810 --> 00:07:38.210
Let's see what the pro mode is like.

00:07:38.210 --> 00:07:40.680
It's seems okay.

00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:43.660
You got raw, histogram, focus.

00:07:43.660 --> 00:07:44.500
Okay.

00:07:44.500 --> 00:07:45.680
Everything I'd expect from a manual camera.

00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:46.740
Pretty basic though.

00:07:46.740 --> 00:07:48.580
So yeah, this is one of the modes I want to check out.

00:07:48.580 --> 00:07:49.720
Multi-camera.

00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:50.640
Let's see.

00:07:50.640 --> 00:07:52.700
Whoa.

00:07:52.700 --> 00:07:55.360
In the corner of my display,

00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:59.060
there is both the wide and telephoto images of the cameras

00:07:59.060 --> 00:08:01.920
and the primary camera that I'm looking at is the main one.

00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:04.660
So let me just take this photo

00:08:04.660 --> 00:08:07.440
of David.

00:08:07.440 --> 00:08:08.260
Yeah. Okay.

00:08:08.260 --> 00:08:09.400
So I have all three images.

00:08:09.400 --> 00:08:10.380
That's kind of cool.

00:08:10.380 --> 00:08:14.020
It didn't expose the wide angle particularly well.

00:08:14.020 --> 00:08:16.080
Okay. I know you guys can see my display.

00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:18.140
Jono, it also does the selfie camera.

00:08:18.140 --> 00:08:18.980
Oh, cool.

00:08:18.980 --> 00:08:19.820
Look at this.

00:08:19.820 --> 00:08:20.640
What?

00:08:20.640 --> 00:08:21.480
Look at this.

00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:24.040
There's six screens on this right now.

00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:25.400
I mean, I can imagine if you like,

00:08:25.400 --> 00:08:27.560
like you're pranking somebody, you're walking up to them.

00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:30.200
And then you want to see your reaction for whatever reason.

00:08:30.200 --> 00:08:31.080
You have that.

00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:33.440
Select. Oh, select at least two cameras.

00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.400
Okay. So you have to select.

00:08:35.400 --> 00:08:39.020
I'm going to do selfie and the primary.

00:08:39.020 --> 00:08:40.520
You can only use three at the same time,

00:08:40.520 --> 00:08:42.660
which is totally reasonable.

00:08:42.660 --> 00:08:43.900
So I'm going to do primary.

00:08:43.900 --> 00:08:46.840
Let's do selfie and ultra wide.

00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:48.600
I wasn't recording.

00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:49.580
You saw it in the screen cap,

00:08:49.580 --> 00:08:50.860
but I was not technically recording.

00:08:50.860 --> 00:08:52.160
Now I'm recording.

00:08:52.160 --> 00:08:54.460
So this is what the selfie camera looks like.

00:08:54.460 --> 00:08:58.840
And then this subsequently is also what my rear

00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.620
and ultra wide are seeing at the exact same time

00:09:01.620 --> 00:09:03.660
as I'm looking at the selfie camera.

00:09:03.660 --> 00:09:05.360
This is a good time to get in.

00:09:05.400 --> 00:09:10.240
So the selfie camera, because guys ZTE,

00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:15.280
I can completely appreciate how hard it might be to put a half

00:09:15.280 --> 00:09:20.280
decent camera through multiple layers of display and glass.

00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:23.860
That challenge is incredibly apparent

00:09:23.860 --> 00:09:30.620
because here's me taking a selfie and it is a bloomy mess.

00:09:32.560 --> 00:09:34.820
Oh man. It is blurry.

00:09:34.820 --> 00:09:37.160
It is washed out.

00:09:37.160 --> 00:09:41.360
I think it's also applying like a softening filter

00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:44.220
or maybe that's literally just the softening that you'd get.

00:09:44.220 --> 00:09:46.760
You know what, Jono, I'm going to hand you this phone.

00:09:46.760 --> 00:09:47.980
So Jono's going to take a selfie.

00:09:47.980 --> 00:09:50.100
Oh my God. It's so bad.

00:09:50.100 --> 00:09:52.100
And then David's also going to take a selfie.

00:09:52.100 --> 00:09:53.780
And I want to look at the skin tone

00:09:53.780 --> 00:09:58.060
because this, the facial recognition AI on this phone

00:09:58.060 --> 00:09:59.520
is supposed to really do a good job

00:09:59.520 --> 00:10:02.060
not making the skin tones look awful.

00:10:02.060 --> 00:10:05.220
Oh, Jono, you don't look this pale.

00:10:05.220 --> 00:10:06.080
Oh my God.

00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:07.340
Look at the right of this photo.

00:10:07.340 --> 00:10:10.460
You can see the stand is fringing like crazy.

00:10:10.460 --> 00:10:12.340
So this doesn't handle reflections very well

00:10:12.340 --> 00:10:14.680
because obviously when you're using a camera

00:10:14.680 --> 00:10:18.180
through another piece of glass, that isn't just the lens.

00:10:18.180 --> 00:10:19.620
It's, it's a tough thing to do.

00:10:19.620 --> 00:10:21.560
It's not an easy thing to do.

00:10:21.560 --> 00:10:23.180
David, I don't think you're this white.

00:10:23.180 --> 00:10:24.720
You're actually, you have more warmth

00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:26.520
in your face than this photo.

00:10:26.520 --> 00:10:28.400
It doesn't even look like you're in focus.

00:10:28.400 --> 00:10:31.000
Just to give the selfie camera a full chance,

00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.200
I've turned the beauty mode off.

00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:35.900
If I smile.

00:10:35.900 --> 00:10:36.480
Hey, that's kind of cool.

00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:37.360
That's kind of interesting.

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:38.280
What does it classify as a smile?

00:10:38.280 --> 00:10:40.100
Oh, okay.

00:10:42.700 --> 00:10:45.180
If I hold my smile, it just keeps taking photos.

00:10:45.180 --> 00:10:46.640
I've never, that's hilarious.

00:10:47.640 --> 00:10:49.300
Okay, I'm turning that setting off.

00:10:49.300 --> 00:10:50.140
It's not taking photos.

00:10:50.140 --> 00:10:50.980
There we go.

00:10:54.380 --> 00:10:55.220
Oh my God.

00:10:55.220 --> 00:10:56.540
Okay, stop taking photos.

00:10:56.540 --> 00:10:57.380
Oh, okay.

00:10:57.380 --> 00:10:58.220
I'm smiling too much.

00:10:58.220 --> 00:10:59.320
No, stop.

00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.110
I can't turn it off.

00:11:01.110 --> 00:11:04.930
I warn you not to turn the smile setting on for your phone.

00:11:04.930 --> 00:11:06.270
It'll just take a million photos

00:11:06.270 --> 00:11:08.990
if you're a person that smiles a lot.

00:11:09.230 --> 00:11:12.090
It still doesn't look that good.

00:11:12.090 --> 00:11:13.750
I can conclude that the selfie camera

00:11:13.750 --> 00:11:15.470
on this phone is not amazing.

00:11:15.470 --> 00:11:17.850
It is, yeah.

00:11:17.850 --> 00:11:19.530
I mean, I can see it with my eyes.

00:11:19.530 --> 00:11:21.850
So when you look, when you're looking for it

00:11:21.850 --> 00:11:24.470
and you hold the phone at a certain angle, you can see it.

00:11:24.470 --> 00:11:26.270
But it's very minor.

00:11:26.270 --> 00:11:28.990
You generally won't be able to see it.

00:11:28.990 --> 00:11:31.570
But we also have 8K video.

00:11:31.570 --> 00:11:35.970
And I believe we have 8K video on every single one of these

00:11:35.970 --> 00:11:38.150
because they're all 64 megapixels.

00:11:38.150 --> 00:11:39.110
4K 120 FPS.

00:11:39.110 --> 00:11:43.690
4K 60 FPS, normal 4K and 8K.

00:11:43.690 --> 00:11:45.290
So I'm going to go to 8K.

00:11:45.290 --> 00:11:46.130
Oh, cool.

00:11:46.130 --> 00:11:47.410
Oh, you can even shoot HDR.

00:11:47.410 --> 00:11:49.430
You want to do HDR on your phone, you can.

00:11:49.430 --> 00:11:53.130
There's a gentleman cleaning his Mustang over there.

00:11:53.130 --> 00:11:57.110
Oh, there's also zoom.

00:11:57.110 --> 00:11:58.810
That's kind of a nice touch.

00:11:58.810 --> 00:12:01.250
I can't tell at all how this looks on the phone.

00:12:01.250 --> 00:12:04.270
It would be, stabilization though is surprisingly decent.

00:12:04.270 --> 00:12:09.500
Like I'm not really trying to walk that steady

00:12:09.500 --> 00:12:12.140
but it's not doing a bad job.

00:12:12.140 --> 00:12:14.400
So I'm just testing the macro mode.

00:12:14.400 --> 00:12:16.140
It's two to one apparently.

00:12:16.140 --> 00:12:17.960
And I'm pretty impressed.

00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:19.460
Oh, there's a little bit of a flare.

00:12:19.460 --> 00:12:22.240
How close I can get.

00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.960
I mean, that looks not bad actually.

00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:26.340
Make sure to turn off the watermark

00:12:26.340 --> 00:12:28.120
because I've got a watermark of the phone

00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.040
on every single one of these photos.

00:12:30.040 --> 00:12:33.160
So this is an overcast just photo in our parking lot.

00:12:33.160 --> 00:12:34.720
And it's actually not bad.

00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:37.140
The detail is pretty good, respectable.

00:12:37.140 --> 00:12:38.320
It's like a little bit crunchy

00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:40.640
in certain parts in the contrast.

00:12:40.640 --> 00:12:41.680
The overall exposure,

00:12:41.680 --> 00:12:43.140
the auto exposure did a pretty good job.

00:12:43.140 --> 00:12:45.300
And when you're not like pixel peeping

00:12:45.300 --> 00:12:47.340
it's actually a pretty sharp photo.

00:12:47.340 --> 00:12:48.500
Going over to the next one.

00:12:48.500 --> 00:12:50.220
Honestly, also pretty good.

00:12:50.220 --> 00:12:53.620
You zoom in and you start to see like a little bit of noise

00:12:53.620 --> 00:12:58.020
and the detail is maybe not good in every spot.

00:12:58.020 --> 00:13:02.580
Like the Volkswagen logo here is a little bit mushy

00:13:02.580 --> 00:13:03.660
on the widest part.

00:13:03.660 --> 00:13:04.580
This is the wide angle.

00:13:04.580 --> 00:13:05.680
This is the ultra wide.

00:13:05.680 --> 00:13:07.180
Pretty respectable.

00:13:07.180 --> 00:13:08.760
Here's the primary camera.

00:13:08.760 --> 00:13:10.840
Also pretty sharp, decent performance.

00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:11.680
I mean, again, this is broad.

00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:12.520
It's not daylight

00:13:12.520 --> 00:13:13.920
but there are cameras that don't perform well

00:13:13.920 --> 00:13:14.760
in this setting either.

00:13:14.760 --> 00:13:17.140
So quick photo of a leaf from outside.

00:13:17.140 --> 00:13:18.840
See how it handles this color.

00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:19.680
It looks okay.

00:13:19.680 --> 00:13:23.260
It's a little bit processed looking in the center leaf here.

00:13:23.260 --> 00:13:24.500
It's a little bit more yellow

00:13:24.500 --> 00:13:26.920
than I think it actually was in person.

00:13:26.920 --> 00:13:29.100
Let's check out this macro mode.

00:13:29.100 --> 00:13:32.400
I think this is maybe one of our better examples in focus.

00:13:32.400 --> 00:13:35.420
You actually get quite a like dramatic bokeh

00:13:35.420 --> 00:13:37.520
just cause you're so close in this macro mode.

00:13:37.520 --> 00:13:40.680
So it actually is, it's a pretty good shot.

00:13:40.680 --> 00:13:41.600
Sharpness is not bad.

00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:45.880
Not a lot of cameras can focus this close.

00:13:45.880 --> 00:13:49.720
The Sony IMX77 sensor in this phone is pretty good.

00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:52.600
And the processing on the rear cameras,

00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:54.400
not overly aggressive.

00:13:54.400 --> 00:13:56.740
Some maybe minor issues with the color

00:13:56.740 --> 00:14:00.020
in terms of like plants and it seems hit and miss

00:14:00.020 --> 00:14:00.960
with humans.

00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.980
For 799 US, if you're in the Chinese market

00:14:03.980 --> 00:14:08.180
or you're the type of person who likes importing phones,

00:14:08.180 --> 00:14:09.980
I can't say that this is a bad pick.

00:14:09.980 --> 00:14:11.440
It actually feels like a pretty decent value.

00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:14.720
If you can get over how big this camera bump is,

00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:16.440
I don't think you'd be disappointed with the cameras.

00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.220
Honestly, I actually like these cameras

00:14:18.220 --> 00:14:20.040
better than my OnePlus cameras.

00:14:20.040 --> 00:14:22.020
And the experience and the processing

00:14:22.020 --> 00:14:25.500
is less egregious than my current phone.

00:14:25.500 --> 00:14:26.540
Good job ZTE.

00:14:26.540 --> 00:14:27.560
This is not a terrible phone.

00:14:27.560 --> 00:14:28.560
I mean, this is not a review.

00:14:28.560 --> 00:14:29.420
It's the first impressions,

00:14:29.420 --> 00:14:32.220
but my first impression is this is not bad.

00:14:32.220 --> 00:14:33.760
So good job.

00:14:33.760 --> 00:14:34.600
Thank you guys for watching.

00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:36.880
If there are any other phones that we haven't covered

00:14:36.880 --> 00:14:38.760
that you really, you feel like the camera,

00:14:38.760 --> 00:14:40.640
especially on them is really interesting.

00:14:40.640 --> 00:14:41.320
Let us know in the comments down below.

00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:43.080
Have a great day.
