now i'm not saying you shouldn't open this
but you remember that scene from raiders of the lost arkansas
i never saw it what
that's the first one right what i've like i've seen parts what do you
mean that's the first one why don't we get on with this this is the doogie i
think it's doogee i don't care s s90
the modular phone that claims to
actually matter will it
let's see
so somehow on a phone this size
they still didn't manage to include a headphone jack
how does that even happen i actually think they get a pass
really yes because this is a rugged phone this phone is ip68 rated it's also
ip69k
oh rated so that's the like high temperature like high pressure sanitize
although what you're doing with your phone where you need to put it under a high pressure spray
to clean it i mean foreign directors ebola crisis
response team okay who knows and then drop wise how
are we doing on this thing i don't think there's actually any
drop numbers per se but they do advertise military grade durability with
its ballistic proof and salt corrosion spray proof and mold
proof so feature wise this thing actually has like kind of
pretty much everything it's got a 5 000
milliamp hour battery 5050 sorry excuse
me it's got a 16 megapixel rear camera 8 megapixel front camera it's got micro sd
expansion it's got an eight core helio p60 processor six gigs of RAM 128 gigs
of storage dual sim support uh it's got whatever this is what the
sims in there oh the sims in there that's a waterproof thing it's a waterproof sim thing
the only thing that's missing is the headphone jack
really though the thing that attracted us to it is
this accessory package so included with the phone you've got
what appears to be an antenna you've got
okay that's just a regular type c cable this one's pretty cool this is just a
type c to type a it comes with that so you can plug in pretty much
any usb device you'd like it's got this wall wart that we're going to have to
use a different one because that's incompatible it's got
whatever this is oh my god is that what this is yes is it
a walkie-talkie it's a walkie-talkie
that's pretty cool okay we're gonna have to try that later gradienter what is a gradienter
yeah it reads 86 and we're definitely
dude you're not even 90. i am 90.
go i'm i'm not moving at all go check
she's broken peter all right guys so welcome to Linus
tech tips we're going to be checking out the uh doogie s90 it's reading annoying
boss
what happened you did that right in my ear
put this back on your
i think you can throw it i think it's fine yeah that's the idea right oh
oh oh doogie
oh doogie oh no
why
yes yes
so i think it's pretty fair to say that in spite of our abuse this thing doesn't
even have a scratch on it well we were lucky that we didn't throw with any
accessories on it because these accessories
are not rugged at all or waterproof oh okay so they just clip on and then
i mean it stayed on hey i think it was trying to give us instructions the
accessories can cause significant errors in compass applications connecting otg
when back clip power is connected neither will be available
oh so basically they have just rerouted the usb type-c
interface here that's a sweet interface though
boom what the hell is water camera the interface does not support touch
function press volume up and photo key to capture oh that makes sense oh you're
underwater and you can't tap it yeah so you use the buttons this is not an
amazing camera so this is the rear camera the auto
focus is abominable like it keeps grabbing you and then just completely
losing you it's a samsung camera
it's gonna have a really hard time with that this thing it struggles at the best
of times okay give me your best um action hero pose
yeah this is really not a strong performance
should we see okay i think the walkie-talkie working no i think we should move on
all right cause no one's gonna buy that people are gonna buy this the battery one an extra
five thousand milliamp hours this doesn't feel like 5 000 milliamp hours i
bet it does when it's on there and you still can't use otg that's pretty
annoying and you also lose your fingerprint reader it's covered now
this thing is really unwieldy like compared to the 13 000 milliamp hour
ulefone that we checked out recently this feels so much more ungainly like if
you're gonna have a big phone it is so much more space and weight efficient to
just have a bigger battery in the phone in the first place versus trying to clip
on an accessory this is why i think every
modular phone concept up until now has failed now one thing doogie is doing a
little bit differently is they're trying to build accessories that someone might
actually want and this night vision one is really
the most unique one you know what i think people would think it just looks
like one of those pop-up things what are those calls oh those those pop rings it
looks like you got a camera themed one you know like you can get those coffee
mugs that look like lenses like i work in film so i got one of these lens
yeah so it works in the day there's a lot of noise a lot of grain
here i don't think this is night vision at
all i think this is just a big lens that captures more light
like yes in a very dark situation
i could hold this up in front of me and like kind of be able to see but
with the same amount of preparation i could grab a flashlight you know
i mean honestly the phone itself i don't
really have any particular issue with if you
want a rugged phone there aren't a ton of options out there there's those
underpowered ones from cat there's that ulefone that we checked out recently but
that is not waterproof even though it's got like a really kind of beefy
rugged-ish feeling built so i mean i'd pay i'd say 350 bucks 400
bucks is fair when the kickstarter ends it's gonna be 370 us dollars it has
wireless charging too doesn't it yes it has wireless charger except that if you
go and put an accessory on it you lose it correct so there's a couple things we
missed there's a game module that's like a game controller or something like that
and then apparently the modules kind of
aren't that amazing right now but they could
make more in the future like the 5g one so this could extend the lifetime of
this device right but it's the same issue we run into with every modular
phone where that assumes that they sell enough of these things and the modules
to fund the development of future
modules which is something that to my knowledge simply has not happened yet
those of you rocking the moto z force you know rock on baby power to you
if it makes you happy to have a rugged phone at a decent price
that's kind of unwieldy in the hand are you trying to stand it up to about 87
degrees is that what you tried to do there then go for it otherwise
get a pixel with night sight or anything else
