getting the non-north America model is that what's happening did you screw me Jake did you me Jake folding phones are getting more popular than ever so popular that people apparently chose the worst form factor to be the most popular one of them all which was the Samsung flip which I unboxed in my last phone video am I the folding phone guy that's Linus that's anyone else but me this is the Huawei mate xs2 in China as far as I understand it this is a hot item but over here in the west they had to make some compromises so I'm interested to see how that all plays out after I open the box I can't read that oh but right off the bat it's unfolded already and we can see on the back we got this nice 3D fiberglass design oh oh there's a case this is a weird design to have a case for okay okay that kind of snaps in so that's nice oh it goes the other way so you do this you fold it in oh okay I see the function of this this is basically like if you want to use it like a regular phone then you can have this case in the back it protects this screen on the other side and put it down and stuff without really worrying about scratching it that's pretty nice but this is a really awkward if you want to unfold it you have to hit the button to release it and then you have this thing like flapping off the the back of the phone and then you're using it like I mean it's not that annoying once I kind of get used to it and I know that it's there it's not that weird but like it still is like a weird implementation it's not very refined I mean in one way like I I'm trying to think about what else they could have done and there's not much this phone is a little bit unique in the way that it implements the folding design most of the folding phones as you may know fold kind of the other way so that the screen stays on the inside but this one folds the other way so that the screen is always on the outside it uses something that Huawei is calling their Falcon hinge I don't even know if that's necessary I don't know about the reasoning for why they did this but uh the fact of the matter is that when unfolded it is thinner and lighter than some of the other folding phones on the market do you know anything about this it doesn't have Google on it are you yeah in fact it's so light that it's only 260 grams that's actually impressive that it's like exactly 260 grams it feels light there's a banana okay all right on the top we got one of the speakers I believe there's on another side there's one on the other side but we'll find out when we get around to it over here we got the volume rocker and the power button slash fingerprint reader looks like which seems like it's fit nicely into the curve of the phone you wouldn't like that's the challenge with a phone like this with the other ones you'd fold the other way and you can just put on this edge here but this Edge is concealed and this one's exposed so you end up having to put the buttons on like a rounded Edge that looks like it's continuing the display although they didn't need to make it look like that did they they decided to make it look like it's like one full display that's folded around or on the bottom I should say we got the USBC Port that's like kind of put into this little uh I'm gonna call that the nubbin another speaker there and another mic so I guess there's two oh there's a mic on the top as well and oh no that's not the mic that's the uh pin for the SIM card slot uh on this side we just have the little clicky doohickey which I'm going to put into place so you can see how that works it's got a latch that you actually have to release with the button there and this button releases the folding phone and then it kind of like oh it's like it's like it's like watching a flower unfold or something and also on the back here we got the camera array but we're going to talk about that once we actually do the camera tests let's turn her on let's turn it on after I talk I talk about our sponsor vessi do you hate wet socks as much as I do I have a feeling you do fancy Footwear makes lightweight breathable and most importantly water resistant shoes so no more squelchy socks

to save 25 today okay so if you decide to use it just as a regular phone you're getting a 6.5 inch screen with a 2480 by 1176 revolution revolution let's go unfolded it's a 7.8 inch screen uh with a 120 hertz refresh rate which is pretty nice with a 2480 by 2200 resolution and Jake really wants me to tell you that that means it's fhd plus it's like if you had the short side of a 4K display twice did that make sense I also neglected to mention that on the inside we have a processor that is at this point two generations old so you are compromising there it does have eight gigs of RAM which is pretty good 512 gigs of storage in this model but I think there's also a 256 gig version is that right I'll talk about the form factor for a second because with the flip 4 I spent a great deal of time complaining about why anyone would make that or why anyone would want it and the fact that it was the most popular phone makes me makes my blood boil frankly this form factor makes a lot more sense to me it looks sleek you know it looks a lot more Sleek if that's something that you care about if there were more phones on the market that had this form factor I would expect this to be more popular as long as you're talking about the Aesthetics of it and like feeling cool this feels pretty cool to kind of like fold it up like this and especially having like the physical release to be like Oh I'm on the phone uh hold on let me check that on my on my little mini tablet thing that feels cool that feels way cooler than using one of these phones and being like oh let me just see uh nerd you get the benefit obviously of more screen real estate which will let you do some cool things like uh you know multi-window becomes way more interesting and useful on a phone like this we're in the music app I bring it in bring it up and the multitasking interface also looks like iOS that's interesting if I touch and hold no does that give us an option oh I can get rid of it what's this oh I made a windowed and that is smooth you can really see that on the one well I mean you can't Maybe on YouTube or flow plane or wherever you're watching this okay we can't have multiple we only have the ability to have our sidebar oh that's pretty cool though optimally I would love if you could like pin an app there and then minimize another app and put it like here so you can just like immediately switch between them like it was a taskbar that's pretty cool that they like hide in the edge of the display there so if I tap on that then you have that option so that's not too bad let's see how intuitive this is to put them side by side okay you have to individually tap them to get them out of I have the app in full screen mode and I do this and then I can click another one to go in full screen mode okay that's pretty cool screen experience is off I like seeing a larger form factor Android devices being able to use that kind of thing so that's great but this phone is very limited so the OS is called Harmony OS it is based on I believe Android 11 that might not be accurate but you know we're on Android 13 now you're using it you can tell that this is essentially Android the important thing is here because it is actually based on on Android on some version of Android you can side load apps but a lot of times they won't work properly because the underlying systems are different there are instant apps you can use like through the web but it's a lot of work it's more work than a than another device the other thing that this phone it really notably compromises on is the battery battery is only 4 600 milliamp hours which actually is not that small of a battery but in my experience and in the experience of some other people I've seen a reporting on this phone ends up being not very strong I think someone was saying with full screen use they only got like 4.5 half hours or something Huawei sort of makes up with it from what I can tell by having a fast really fast charging charge the phone up to 90 in 30 minutes obviously maybe your mileage will vary I've saw some other people saying that's not quite the case but at the same time you buy this fancy phone and how much is it Jake it's 2 000 Euros there's not a lot of prices uh available for like what they're selling it for in North America because they're not selling it in North America as far as I understand oh this is funny that Google is still the home page on the browser though I wonder if that's just like you know the typing experience with two hands YouTube it's pretty good I liked that I liked when I typed like that that's Max I mean they're not the worst speakers I've ever heard on a device ever I guess but they uh yeah there's there's Distortion especially at the higher volumes there there's uh a lack of bass anyways that's the speakers they're not great GSM Arena tested it and they measured 506 nits uh at all the way to the end of the brightness slider where we are right now so 500 nits for a tablet you know isn't isn't the worst thing in the world what what does a new iPhone get like is it 2000 they're not quite there let's check out the cameras touch to turn on the secondary screen whoa oh that's cool so I can see what I'm doing over here and I can also see and you can see what I'm doing wait what so wait what do you see right now if I press if I take a photo what does that look like all right you're seeing right but I can't make it so that I flip it around and then you are also you can't see anything the button that I used to do that is gone there's a button there this is the button that you press to activate the rear screen one of these cameras is a 50 megapixel main shooter there's a 13 megapixel Ultra wide and a 8 megapixel telephoto well we're at 30 times Zoom okay I want to take a photo stabilization seems to be catching up pretty good oh yeah I want to hold it by the nubbin all the time but when I go like this to get what I hope is going to be landscape video instead of vertical video wow we got some crazy this the stabilization makes it so that when I do this you guys are just like in a Perpetual state of motion blur maybe if I'm doing a selfie I should just accept that I have to do it this way and then I hit record and this is the selfie cam what's up guys I did vertical video though that's what it is I I like the quality of this this looks pretty nice for a selfie cam which is a what 10.7 megapixel not that that megapixel really matters but it's a f.2 f 2.2 aperture and all that I don't know it really comes down to the experience and that's not bad at all on the flip video people are saying I'm what I was incorrect about my putting it in my pocket and saying that it was less comfortable and stupid that's my opinion if you like it that's uh you know that's that's up to you but I didn't like it because I didn't like there being like a Little Rock in my shop in my shorts I prefer there to be a a longer slab because then it's kind of like is more uniform it it does indeed fit in your pocket it fits in my pocket when it's unfolded so it'll fit in everyone's oh God so at the end of the day you know as as beautiful as this device is as thin and light and uh you know nice to the touch as it is in fact the matter is that this phone could have been more useful to customers outside of China than it ended up being a battery is is another thing that's not so great the cameras seem pretty good speakers are bad am I going to buy it no Should you buy it I'm not here to tell you what to do does it fit in your pocket absolutely should you
