1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,700
why does everyone still buy Pixel phones when six months later the a comes out

2
00:00:03,780 --> 00:00:11,580
and usually it's better in most ways that might still be the case here with

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,500
the new pixel 7A we have it in this

4
00:00:11,580 --> 00:00:17,940
weird Coral version and I'm excited to take a look as though I'm not a long

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:21,480
time pixel fan I did use a 7 Pro for a good little bit there when it first came

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:26,840
out and it was a pretty nice phone but very big and pretty darn expensive the

7
00:00:24,539 --> 00:00:31,740
A-line is pixels more accessibly priced ones with usually some

8
00:00:29,580 --> 00:00:35,040
mid-range specs but this one is a bit interesting because they do have a lot

9
00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:39,180
of the specs that you know and love from the full size pixel phones unboxing the

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:42,960
phone here we have the nice bit of plastic that covers it and this very

11
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:48,840
vibrant color that we will talk about in a bit here we have a USB C2C cable that

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:54,300
is naughty this doesn't even feel like three feet and an OTG cable so you can

13
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:58,399
plug in your usba devices usually you use it once it's a transfer over all of

14
00:00:56,100 --> 00:01:01,559
your information from your old phone and then you don't

15
00:01:00,059 --> 00:01:06,000
use it ever again but hey if you want to plug a keyboard into your phone I'm not

16
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:10,260
going to stop you we also got a Sim popper a booklet it's a very fancy

17
00:01:08,220 --> 00:01:13,380
little box for uh nothing and that's it for the unboxing very very simple you

18
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:20,280
get a cable you get the OTG you get no brick and right off the bat I gotta say

19
00:01:15,740 --> 00:01:21,600
I like the color I'm not 100 sold I've

20
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:25,500
actually gotten used to having a more vibrant phone I usually go for just a

21
00:01:23,580 --> 00:01:28,799
black phone it fits with everything you have and you know usually cover up with

22
00:01:27,060 --> 00:01:33,000
a case of your case user anyways I've been using the kind of purple Oppo

23
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:36,060
finding to flip and I get a lot of comments on it people like a colorful

24
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,720
phone and this is another very very colorful phone so we have the coral

25
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:44,400
version here though it does come in Black Sea and snow which I'm guessing is

26
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,939
black blue and white is that the order I didn't but you know you can't just say

27
00:01:45,659 --> 00:01:53,100
that anymore it's you got to be creative and it's definitely like a seradichi

28
00:01:50,820 --> 00:01:57,780
peach it's very very vibrant as for the design it's very reminiscent of the

29
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:00,180
seven and the six before it with the 3D

30
00:01:57,780 --> 00:02:03,720
metal visor though the bump is very small I haven't actually used the

31
00:02:02,220 --> 00:02:09,420
regular sevens I don't know if this is similar to that but I know the 7 Pro the

32
00:02:06,060 --> 00:02:11,340
visor is very very thick and it is not

33
00:02:09,420 --> 00:02:15,780
too bad on this one other than that on the back we have the G so you know it's

34
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,080
a Google phone and then we have our two cameras and Flash it is a little bit

35
00:02:18,060 --> 00:02:23,160
fingerprinted I don't know if you'll be able to see uh I got greasy gamer

36
00:02:21,239 --> 00:02:25,680
fingers but it does feel pretty nice it doesn't feel super plasticky or anything

37
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:30,239
like that I know there have been past pixel phones where you know it it is

38
00:02:28,020 --> 00:02:33,420
definitely full on plastic moving around the side of the phone on the right side

39
00:02:31,379 --> 00:02:37,860
we have our power button and volume rocker as well as our antenna lines on

40
00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:42,360
the top we have more antenna lines and our mic hole and then on the left we

41
00:02:39,660 --> 00:02:47,519
have three more antenna lines and our SIM tray and finally on the bottom we

42
00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:52,980
have two speakers and a USB-C for charging and let's pop it open Google

43
00:02:50,220 --> 00:02:57,480
historically does not do dual SIM as far as I'm aware for physical you do get an

44
00:02:54,780 --> 00:03:00,599
esim but maybe that changes here and yeah it's just one nano SIM some people

45
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:04,920
don't really care as long as they have esim but I actually really like having dual physical Sim it makes it easy for

46
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:09,180
someone like me who switches phones very often but I'm also abnormal and you

47
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,120
probably aren't switching your phone all that often so with the a series like I

48
00:03:11,099 --> 00:03:16,980
said it's usually they're more kind of entry level or mid-range phone and sometimes you get cutbacks from the

49
00:03:15,180 --> 00:03:23,220
flagship phones because of that but it does still have a good weight to it we'll wait and see how much it is 192

50
00:03:20,519 --> 00:03:25,680
grams that's what five slices of bread no I'm only gonna get lucky with that

51
00:03:24,659 --> 00:03:30,659
once there's no way I'm gonna get that again I know one of the ways they did reduce probably the cost and maybe the

52
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:35,280
weight is this front display so it's a 6.1 inch geo-led screen don't know what

53
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:39,000
the G stands for none of the stuff we got here before release explains what that is but I'm gonna assume it stands

54
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:43,260
for Google because they got to be special it is with Gorilla Glass 3

55
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:48,900
though which is interesting so I used uh something that's a couple Generations old obviously we survived a year with

56
00:03:46,739 --> 00:03:51,540
Gorilla Glass 3 before but it does seem like a bit of a steep drop off from the

57
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,040
victus 2 we're getting a lot of flagships now but if that's gonna be what saves you you know a couple of

58
00:03:54,420 --> 00:03:59,940
hundred dollars here or there it's probably worth it and just don't drop

59
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,480
your phone all of your information another way they're able to reduce

60
00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:06,120
pricing is that it is just a 60 to 90 Hertz screen so you're not getting the

61
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:09,840
full 120 hertz that we're getting in a lot of flagships now but 90hz still is

62
00:04:07,799 --> 00:04:14,099
quite good and again if you've only been on a 60 hertz screen before those steps

63
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:20,459
up really do make a difference for your everyday usage and it is IP67 plus new

64
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:26,280
to the pixel 7A compared to the 6A this has wireless charging this is a 4 385

65
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,919
milliamp hour battery which is a little bit lower than the 5000 milliamp hour

66
00:04:28,020 --> 00:04:35,940
batteries we're getting in other flagships or even budget to mid-range phones but it does include 7.5 watt

67
00:04:33,479 --> 00:04:40,380
wireless charging and up to 18 watt fast charging that's not the fastest cable

68
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:44,100
charging but again for most folks that's probably fine and the addition of

69
00:04:41,940 --> 00:04:46,860
wireless charging is huge and it might not seem like that big of a deal if you

70
00:04:45,300 --> 00:04:50,940
don't have it right now but as somebody who's had it and lost it not having

71
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:54,720
wireless charging in my phone sucks you know a lot of cars now have wireless

72
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:57,540
charging pads or if you're just like in an office and you want to be able to see

73
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:01,199
your phone with like the the Google pixel stand or whatever like that it is

74
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:04,860
really great to have and size wise for the phone uh it's like the same as the

75
00:05:03,060 --> 00:05:08,639
6A so if you are coming from that phone it does look very very similar obviously

76
00:05:07,380 --> 00:05:13,020
again the visors are a little bit different and there's like you know 0.5

77
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:18,600
of a millimeter difference on Dimensions but otherwise they are very very similar

78
00:05:16,139 --> 00:05:22,940
uh looks wise but that's pretty much all there is for the outside of the phone so

79
00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:28,259
I guess we should hear from our sponsor dbrand for some reason Google sent us

80
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:31,560
the coral one and uh you know maybe they thought Linus was gonna unbox it he

81
00:05:29,820 --> 00:05:35,280
likes the pink car the pink everything but for myself I wanted something a

82
00:05:33,660 --> 00:05:39,840
little bit more fashionable like the black one so we hit up our friends at

83
00:05:36,900 --> 00:05:46,440
dbrand to send us over a black pixel 7A but they told us to off and send us

84
00:05:42,539 --> 00:05:48,660
something better the grip case now you

85
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:52,080
may know that I'm not a big case user I just believe that you shouldn't drop

86
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:56,820
your phone then you can use your phone in its nice slick glass metal plastic

87
00:05:54,780 --> 00:06:01,380
body whatever it's made of and it feels great in the hand but if I were to use a

88
00:05:58,919 --> 00:06:06,300
case obviously it would be the dbrand grip case because it has thousands of

89
00:06:03,660 --> 00:06:13,199
contact points with their super fine dots so it sticks to anything look

90
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:15,780
it's not going anywhere Plus

91
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:20,699
your phone is totally fine even though our relationship with dbrand might be a

92
00:06:17,820 --> 00:06:23,819
little hit and miss I mean they're kind of douchebags if you haven't noticed

93
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:28,740
they do know how to make a great product that goes with any outfit like this one

94
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:34,100
or this high quality shirt it just goes with anything also it has nice clicky

95
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:34,100
buttons listen

96
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:42,120
what do you think of this oh clicky buttons and he's not sponsored by

97
00:06:39,479 --> 00:06:46,500
dbrand no way man so if you want to fit in with all the cool kids and protect

98
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:50,460
your phone go to shortlineus.com and tell him Belle sent you or don't I don't

99
00:06:48,660 --> 00:06:55,259
know I don't really care honestly we can cut dbrand's great but if you don't like

100
00:06:52,860 --> 00:07:01,199
their cases for whatever weird reason we do have one of the Google pixel 7A cases

101
00:06:57,660 --> 00:07:03,360
in a very conflicting color that almost

102
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:06,539
certainly will not go well I'm guessing is this the C color we'll never know

103
00:07:05,220 --> 00:07:10,319
what they call it but it does look like the seafoam group blue green blue

104
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:15,180
there's that kind of like Soft Touch silicone plastic feel that I'm actually

105
00:07:13,139 --> 00:07:19,740
really not a fan of if you have like a pair of the xm5s or anything like that's

106
00:07:16,919 --> 00:07:24,240
that same as like the headband and uh yeah I mean I guess it kind of goes well

107
00:07:22,259 --> 00:07:28,259
together if you like a bit of a statement look but yeah I'm not a fan of

108
00:07:26,220 --> 00:07:33,300
the the feel of this case I don't know how much it costs but stick stick with

109
00:07:30,180 --> 00:07:35,460
dbrand or caseless chill I want dbrand

110
00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:38,160
to like me leave that in all right booting up the phone here uh right away

111
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:42,720
it's asking if we want suggestions on the home screen I'm never a fan of stuff like this I'm glad you get an option of

112
00:07:40,979 --> 00:07:45,539
turning it off right away because uh I know quite a few phones have to go into

113
00:07:43,979 --> 00:07:49,680
the home screen settings and change it to be off of having suggestions at the

114
00:07:47,699 --> 00:07:54,360
top it's like never correct in an iPhone I know Siri suggestion are also awful so

115
00:07:52,919 --> 00:07:57,300
I'm really happy for that booting it up obviously this is a pixel phone it's

116
00:07:56,039 --> 00:08:01,380
stock Android you're not going to have anything super fancy for skins or

117
00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:05,460
overlays or anything that's going to slow down your phone or you know prevent

118
00:08:03,180 --> 00:08:08,520
a layer between you and what you want to actually access in your phone which I'm

119
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:12,840
a big fan of as somebody who used to be a big fan of HTC Sense back in the day

120
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,539
with the cool widgets that would like it had like the cloud the rain cloud for

121
00:08:14,460 --> 00:08:19,199
the weather and everything like that I loved that as I've grown older I've

122
00:08:17,460 --> 00:08:22,620
realized that sucks and it slows down your phone and really just muddies up

123
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,800
everything you're doing so having stock Android is obviously great and with a

124
00:08:24,599 --> 00:08:30,660
pixel phone you're getting a lot of the features that coming soon to Android like call screening the now playing for

125
00:08:29,340 --> 00:08:34,680
music in the background everything like that that again nice to have again for

126
00:08:33,419 --> 00:08:40,080
all these apps that you do see here on here a lot of them are going to be things that we've installed for Labs

127
00:08:38,219 --> 00:08:43,440
testing like the games Reddit everything like that you just have the Google

128
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:49,320
versions of all of these apps so if you're coming from Samsung and you like their notes or Oppo and you like the

129
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:53,220
Zaza remote you might not get that here but you do get all the bass Android apps

130
00:08:51,779 --> 00:08:56,279
that I do usually find quite a bit better and you know use for myself even

131
00:08:54,899 --> 00:08:59,760
when I'm on different Android operating systems and speaking of stock Android we

132
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:04,260
do have Android 13 here which is the latest version and I'm sure you'll get the next version as well and maybe even

133
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:08,220
the version after that that'd be nuts that'd be unheard of and Google promises

134
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:12,120
five years of security updates which is again great and a trend we like to see

135
00:09:09,839 --> 00:09:16,680
and for other specs on the phone this is the eight gigs of RAM and 120 gigs of

136
00:09:14,580 --> 00:09:20,279
storage model which is the only model so if you're somebody who downloads a ton

137
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,740
of playlists games or you know films a lot of movies on this you want to be

138
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:27,779
aware that you are limited on storage and would have to look at Cloud Alternatives or be sure to back up your

139
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:30,240
phone and take stuff off fairly often I personally don't have issues with 120

140
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,899
gigs of storage but I know people have commented in videos saying that is not

141
00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:37,740
enough for them and they need that one terabyte version and I've said it before

142
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:41,220
and say it again uh that's that's us it's a little sus what is cool is that

143
00:09:39,779 --> 00:09:44,820
this is still powered by the tensor 2 chip that is in the Seven and Seven Pro

144
00:09:43,740 --> 00:09:48,660
so you're not going to see a huge performance difference hopefully so it is nice that they're not going to

145
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:53,640
purposely Nerf this phone just to get you to a higher end model or anything like that and it doesn't the Titan M2

146
00:09:52,140 --> 00:09:58,080
security chip so it'll be protecting your logins and passwords everything like that which is something we should

147
00:09:56,940 --> 00:10:02,760
take a look at does it have a fingerprint scanner it's clearly not built into the power button usually you

148
00:10:01,260 --> 00:10:06,779
can visibly tell there'll be a ring around it or something like that to make

149
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,660
it more clear so let's see if it has an under display fingerprint scanner well

150
00:10:08,519 --> 00:10:13,140
that's a good sign right off the bat it says face and fingerprint unlock so

151
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,680
depending on what you like to do to unlock your phone you have a couple different options I'm more of a fan of

152
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:20,339
fingerprints I feel it's a little bit more secure than face but you can always

153
00:10:18,660 --> 00:10:23,399
use both so you have the quick access to take a look at your information and you

154
00:10:21,959 --> 00:10:30,920
know if it's down on a table you can use your finger or whatever like that but let's see how fast it is all right the

155
00:10:28,260 --> 00:10:33,680
moment of truth pretty quick

156
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:39,060
the only thing I wish is I would wake up when you put your thumb on the fingerprint scanner I know there's quite

157
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:44,279
a few phones that are kind of primed and ready so as soon as it feels your finger on that spot it'll light up and let you

158
00:10:42,899 --> 00:10:48,120
into your phone it is a little bit annoying to have to like double tap the screen or make sure to hit the power

159
00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:51,839
button but first world problems otherwise for connectivity and all the

160
00:10:49,860 --> 00:10:56,220
other inside specs it's pretty bog standard you have Wi-Fi 6E Bluetooth 5.3

161
00:10:54,120 --> 00:11:00,240
and 5G but what is interesting is you can pay a premium to get 5G millimeter

162
00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:04,140
wave so if you're in a big city where they have millimeter wave 5G and you

163
00:11:02,399 --> 00:11:06,839
want those Ultra fast speeds you can pay an extra 50 bucks to get that out to

164
00:11:05,459 --> 00:11:10,860
your phone but I feel like for most people

165
00:11:08,940 --> 00:11:15,300
maybe you probably don't need that I feel like 5G millimeter wave is still a

166
00:11:13,019 --> 00:11:19,800
little bit out but again if that works for your city and you want those super

167
00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:22,980
fast speeds go for it our model here is the 5G millimeter wave which could

168
00:11:21,180 --> 00:11:28,380
explain why there are so many antenna lines all over the phone now let's get

169
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:32,040
into display and speakers I've got a hankering for some crab Brave it's been

170
00:11:30,060 --> 00:11:35,420
a while you know it's been a while crab song who searched crab song

171
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:43,320
oh I gotta say I'm pretty impressed it does

172
00:11:40,980 --> 00:11:46,260
seem to clip a little bit at the highest volume again I don't feel like most

173
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:50,579
people are listening to things at max volume but if you're gonna allow your speaker to go that loud you should make

174
00:11:49,260 --> 00:11:54,899
sure that it's not going to have any rattles or you know sound bad but

175
00:11:53,459 --> 00:11:57,899
surprisingly it didn't feel like it was super balanced to the right side of the

176
00:11:56,459 --> 00:12:00,959
phone it did still feel like it was kind of coming from a center channel and

177
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:06,240
especially when you're holding it in your hands with you know kind of cupping it to bring the audio more towards your

178
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:10,200
face it sounded quite good as for the screen quality it looks great it's an

179
00:12:07,740 --> 00:12:12,540
OLED it is only full HD but I don't feel like you can really tell on the phone

180
00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:17,459
this small unless you're getting really really close to it it still did look quite sharp my only real complaint on

181
00:12:15,839 --> 00:12:21,060
the display is that I do wish I got a little bit brighter what you're looking

182
00:12:18,899 --> 00:12:24,920
at is Max brightness which you can tell is not super super bright because it's

183
00:12:22,620 --> 00:12:29,640
not peaking the camera it does get up to 495 and it's in SDR which isn't bad when

184
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:33,420
it comes to the other pixel phones I know the six and six a both get to 495

185
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:39,480
and the pixel 7 surprise only gets to 475 and this pixel 7 Pro gets quite a

186
00:12:36,300 --> 00:12:40,860
bit higher at 595 nits and these might

187
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:44,100
just be numbers to the average person that it's watching this but just know

188
00:12:42,540 --> 00:12:48,959
that you want a higher number so when you go outside you can still see it in

189
00:12:45,959 --> 00:12:51,240
daylight and this will probably be fine

190
00:12:48,959 --> 00:12:54,600
but not fantastic all right let's go into cameras that's where Google usually

191
00:12:52,620 --> 00:12:58,500
shines I'm a big fan of ultrawods I find I use them more than telephotos though

192
00:12:56,220 --> 00:13:01,800
obviously having both is great and having that limited to the pro series I

193
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,860
guess makes sense they want your money and obviously if they can charge you and

194
00:13:03,839 --> 00:13:10,800
I'm gonna like for an extra camera they're gonna these are pretty decent stats the main camera can shoot up to 4K

195
00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:15,120
60 in the ultra wide 4K 30 which is plenty if you are somebody who is

196
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:18,540
shooting in 4k for some reason all right here's a main camera photo oh

197
00:13:17,339 --> 00:13:22,860
interesting when you take a photo right off the bat it has a share option that

198
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,740
pops up off the gallery now let's try a zoom this would just be a digital Zoom

199
00:13:24,660 --> 00:13:31,200
as obviously this does not have an optical lens and an ultra wide dang

200
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:35,040
that's wide it does 125 degrees for the ultra wide which is more than the human

201
00:13:33,180 --> 00:13:39,779
eye let me tell you I gotta say this ultramide looks pretty darn sharp when

202
00:13:37,740 --> 00:13:43,440
you zoom really far in you can see it's like getting Elizabeth painting like but

203
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:47,339
uh for everything that's kind of the near vicinity to you or just when it's

204
00:13:46,019 --> 00:13:51,120
zoomed out and there's nothing too too crazy for lens Distortion which is where

205
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,899
the edges will look kind of weird compared to the rest of the photo onto

206
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:58,800
the 2x looks pretty good your yard just digitally zooming into the main sensor

207
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:03,360
but with 64 megapixels it does give you quite a bit of room to still get detail

208
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:05,339
in the photos and for the main shot it

209
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:08,220
looks good we can zoom right into sven's weird face

210
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:12,660
see all the detail in there and his tattoos into David's shirt the colors

211
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:16,200
all seem really consistent and the brightness again looks really good

212
00:14:14,220 --> 00:14:19,139
across the whole scene especially because where I'm sitting is very well

213
00:14:17,639 --> 00:14:24,480
lit but everything around the set is not so being able to see everything clearly and the lighting seems pretty consistent

214
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:27,480
is great for someone with a bit more color to give you an idea about color

215
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,959
accuracy we'll take a photo of this kind of set here and yeah this looks very

216
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:37,740
true to life everything looks pretty consistent with the green of the plant the blue from the ShortCircuit lights

217
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:40,680
and the white kind of warm white from

218
00:14:37,740 --> 00:14:45,779
the lamp let's try video all right this is 4K 30. I'm moving around to see kind

219
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:48,839
of how it looks definitely looks pretty smooth

220
00:14:47,220 --> 00:14:52,920
I don't know if it has ois as unfortunately it's not in any spec sheet but it does look pretty darn smooth I

221
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:57,959
would not be surprised if it did it doesn't have any of that kind of blurriness but it does look a little bit

222
00:14:55,620 --> 00:15:01,980
punched in uh I'll compare it to the regular camera here and see if we can

223
00:15:00,060 --> 00:15:05,639
tell yeah compared to the main camera it definitely is using Eis as it crops the

224
00:15:03,779 --> 00:15:09,959
Imaging quite a bit but I gotta say this sounds really good my voice is really

225
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:13,320
clear uh it didn't have like the hum of the room as well it seems to be able to

226
00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:17,760
kind of cut that out or at least didn't pick it up for whatever reason and it

227
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:20,699
looks great as well of course 4K it looks sharp and the Eis looks really

228
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:26,220
good as well a lot of times when you're shaking on Eis it kind of has that ghosting as it tries to just digitally

229
00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:29,760
compensate for what's going on so that you know everything still stays smooth

230
00:15:27,540 --> 00:15:31,920
button this looks really good if you're going to be taking videos with your

231
00:15:30,779 --> 00:15:35,459
phone for Vlogs or anything like that this is at least a very good start for

232
00:15:33,779 --> 00:15:39,600
then adding your own equipment let's try the selfie camera though it's interesting it has a zoom function I'm

233
00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:43,740
not sure when you would want to be just a little bit closer but you do have the

234
00:15:42,060 --> 00:15:47,820
option of choosing that yeah these swords look fine it's a 13 megapixel

235
00:15:45,779 --> 00:15:51,300
shooter that does 4K 30 we'll test in a second here it still looks sharp with

236
00:15:49,079 --> 00:15:55,740
the detail in my beard and hair as well as you know just pores and of course

237
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:59,160
Northern Lights t-shirt now available on ltzstore.com I wouldn't say it looks

238
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,880
over processed the colors look pretty solid especially again with the pretty

239
00:16:00,899 --> 00:16:06,300
complex background with the TV and ShortCircuit sign like an iPhone if you hold

240
00:16:04,740 --> 00:16:11,820
down your photos you get a nice motion photo so you can always remember the memories of taking that selfie at the

241
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:16,800
pier down in San Francisco that was a great day I'm now taking a video again

242
00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:20,459
something to note with Eis it does crop in more so you do have the option of

243
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:23,760
using the 1.4 time zoom but then it feels pretty darn close but I do like

244
00:16:22,380 --> 00:16:29,519
the smooth zoom in and out it kind of gives you a bit of

245
00:16:25,699 --> 00:16:31,620
dramaticism dramaticism

246
00:16:29,519 --> 00:16:38,100
but hey that's pretty neat I gotta say I'm not really impressed with the selfie

247
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:41,519
video quality it looks a little

248
00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:43,860
grainy again I'm very well lit right now

249
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:48,720
and of course I'm not outside where it's extremely consistently lit but my shirt

250
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:53,940
you can see a lot of noise it looks pretty soft and at 13 megapixels when it

251
00:16:51,839 --> 00:16:59,459
can do 4K 30 I don't feel like it really should look like this and as for the my

252
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,800
quality it's yeah it's fine one thing I do wish so after listening to this is

253
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,579
that the speaker got a little bit louder or that the mic recorded louder I don't

254
00:17:04,199 --> 00:17:09,419
know what the issue is is crap right seemed to get quite loud as this does

255
00:17:07,679 --> 00:17:14,280
not seem to be very loud

256
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:19,740
like that's max volume this is me speaking without speech enhancement do I

257
00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:22,319
sound better or worse only you can tell

258
00:17:19,740 --> 00:17:25,439
and me in a second I can't tell a difference so maybe if you're outside

259
00:17:23,459 --> 00:17:28,860
where it's super windy uh maybe it'll be a bigger difference here it's obviously

260
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:33,120
a bit quiet and in both videos I could hear the hum of the Transformer that's

261
00:17:30,179 --> 00:17:37,380
behind the camera so I don't know again your mileage may vary

262
00:17:35,100 --> 00:17:40,919
it's time to game as for gaming we send this over to Labs to get some testing

263
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:45,419
done and the results were surprising though it has the same tensorship that

264
00:17:42,660 --> 00:17:48,960
the 7 and 7 Pro do there was also actually varied quite a bit sometimes it

265
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:53,340
performed worse than the Seven and Seven Pro and sometimes it performed better

266
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:59,820
which is odd and gentian impact the medium frame rate on the 7n7 pro was 61

267
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:02,220
or 62 FPS respectively and on the 7A was

268
00:17:59,820 --> 00:18:06,000
only 48. but what's even weirder is that in unhappy raccoon it actually performed

269
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:09,780
even better on the 6A with it getting 62 FPS so your mileage may vary based on

270
00:18:08,340 --> 00:18:14,700
the games that you're playing but no matter what you should get some solid performance in most the games you're

271
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:18,360
playing speaking of Labs testing we also had them test out the battery life first

272
00:18:16,260 --> 00:18:22,020
up Labs did a longevity test which is putting the phone in its kind of best

273
00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:26,340
case scenario so it's video streaming off YouTube low brightness giving it the

274
00:18:24,299 --> 00:18:29,820
best odds for maximum battery life the most you should really expect from this

275
00:18:27,780 --> 00:18:34,080
phone and the results were really good the pixel 7A was able to get 21 hours of

276
00:18:32,460 --> 00:18:38,760
continuous playback which is pretty darn good the pixel 6 say for example got 20

277
00:18:36,299 --> 00:18:43,320
hours which is again great the pixel 7 got 16 and a half and the pixel 7 Pro

278
00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:46,679
only got 14 and a quarter hours and it makes sense but the pixel 7 Pro being so

279
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,799
large and high resolution then after that we did the stress test which is the

280
00:18:48,660 --> 00:18:54,059
minimum amount of battery you can expect that's maximum GPU and CPU usage maximum

281
00:18:52,679 --> 00:18:59,100
brightness everything like that under Max load the 7A was able to get 3.3

282
00:18:56,700 --> 00:19:04,320
hours the pixel 6A did also quite well with 3.2 hours pixel 7 got 2.7 hours

283
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:08,100
which is not enough probably for your flight or bus ride like the bus still

284
00:19:06,419 --> 00:19:10,860
take the Greyhound I don't know and the pixel 7 Pro got 3.2 so again it's

285
00:19:09,900 --> 00:19:15,120
interesting to see the difference between the 7 and 7 Pro or even the 7A

286
00:19:13,620 --> 00:19:18,660
and 6A as they were all very very similar but pretty darn good I feel like

287
00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:22,860
if you're going that hard with your phone that you are maxing out the CPU

288
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:25,260
and GPU and using Max brightness you probably have it plugged in so in those

289
00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:30,120
French scenarios we want to play something intense on the bus or playing or whatever you should be fine so how

290
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:35,760
much does this cost a phone that has a lot in common with its Flagship counterparts with just a couple edges

291
00:19:33,299 --> 00:19:39,539
cut off here and there well it's at up 500 price point which isn't too bad

292
00:19:37,980 --> 00:19:43,919
though if you do want the millimeter wave 5G it does cost 50 more at 550.

293
00:19:41,940 --> 00:19:48,539
with this being 500 and the pixel 7 being 600 I would take this any day and

294
00:19:46,919 --> 00:19:54,600
pocket that hundred dollars and put it towards I don't know

295
00:19:51,299 --> 00:19:56,640
a dbrand case LGT store merge like this

296
00:19:54,600 --> 00:20:01,380
with better battery life and better performance in some games it seems like

297
00:19:59,700 --> 00:20:05,580
there's no real reason to get the seven which makes me wonder why Google has

298
00:20:03,780 --> 00:20:09,360
this really schedule at all and maybe they should more consider this a t

299
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:13,919
upgrade like OnePlus does instead of the budget alternative or I guess maybe we
