WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.680 editor editor go in my face to start and then 00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:12.360 I'm reading this so show this pretty quick okay books 00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:17.160 hey everybody it's a books 00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:22.859 make a different in the world make a 00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:27.599 different product which is what the books 00:00:24.660 --> 00:00:32.460 is I can't say the name of the product without laughing books 00:00:29.939 --> 00:00:36.899 really it's a variant on it must be like book 00:00:34.980 --> 00:00:43.200 because if you don't know this product is a tablet it's an Android 11 tablet 00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:47.280 with an e-ink screen so I guess you know obviously when you think eating screened 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:52.079 you think e-readers reading what do you read you read books books are spelled 00:00:49.379 --> 00:00:55.980 with a KS let's change it to an X for fun books 00:00:53.700 --> 00:01:00.539 I actually was interested in this product when it popped up in the queue 00:00:58.140 --> 00:01:04.860 because I'm like listen I'm the iPad guy right this is a tablet but it's got an 00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:10.920 eating screen that's very interesting and but it's got also an iPad like 00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:14.100 keyboard folio it's called the tab Ultra 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:17.640 which is a Samsung thing we got Apple in 00:01:14.100 --> 00:01:19.560 here we got Samsung we got Kindle it's 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:23.479 all the same okay this is kind of cool packaging I like that it feels premium 00:01:23.700 --> 00:01:28.979 wow it's got It's kind of Hefty I mean 00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:33.720 apparently it's only 6.7 millimeters thin but how much does it weigh that's 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:36.540 my question apparently it's 480 grams so that's something but before we get 00:01:34.860 --> 00:01:39.259 deeper into there let's uh let's dive deeper into the box 00:01:39.540 --> 00:01:48.060 okay we got a stylus that I will look 00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:51.780 closer at later we got a USB a to c 00:01:48.060 --> 00:01:53.640 chord quick start guide now I've ignored 00:01:51.780 --> 00:01:58.500 the quick start guy before to my Peril so I'm just going to take a quick quick 00:01:55.860 --> 00:02:02.040 Gander okay nice I read the quick start guide 00:01:59.579 --> 00:02:06.840 so hopefully this thing will go smooth as a baby's bub bottom now we also have 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:12.599 before I really get into that we also have the fancy iPad cover are they gonna 00:02:10.020 --> 00:02:18.660 sue me for saying that come at me boots this immediately feels very similar to 00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:22.200 the iPad one oh nope it's got more of like a leathery feel 00:02:20.459 --> 00:02:26.400 oh you know what 00:02:23.580 --> 00:02:31.680 I was viewing this product in such a derogatory way I was like who's gonna 00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:35.280 buy this thing like I thought it was kind of cool but like you know a lot of 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:41.400 the times I'm interested in kind of Niche Tech products that a lot of people aren't but now I'm looking at it and I'm 00:02:38.580 --> 00:02:45.900 like yo this looks premium if there's a different colored key that's really the 00:02:43.379 --> 00:02:50.720 main contributor to me changing my mind about this I have to have a specialized 00:02:47.940 --> 00:02:50.720 oh 00:02:54.900 --> 00:03:01.920 oh now it's dirty okay uh the the stylus 00:03:00.180 --> 00:03:05.640 I gotta say right off the bat though it feels nice it's like the apple pencil in 00:03:04.140 --> 00:03:11.580 the sense that it is like the actual real size of a proper pencil once again 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:12.959 like I'm sorry I'm sorry books for 00:03:11.580 --> 00:03:19.860 making fun of you in the beginning because this feels this feels nice 600 00:03:16.140 --> 00:03:23.040 for the tablet the folio the stylus and 00:03:19.860 --> 00:03:24.659 if I spent 600 on that and I got this it 00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:28.440 feels premium I mean we got to this like kind of like metal brushed metal type of 00:03:26.819 --> 00:03:33.840 thing going on in the back they say it's an anti-fingerprint coating although I 00:03:30.420 --> 00:03:35.400 do see some marks on it already on this 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:40.379 side I don't know if that counts as the bottom we got a uh I'm not gonna call it 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:44.340 a SMART connector I guess Pogo pins oh and it also tells you how much how fast 00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:50.280 it can charge as well five volts at 3 amps that's 15 watts okay and on the I 00:03:47.940 --> 00:03:54.780 guess on the left side looking at the screen we got I guess that must be the 00:03:52.019 --> 00:03:59.519 power button and a fingerprint reader it is it is a fingerprint reader nice this 00:03:57.540 --> 00:04:03.239 is a speaker this might be a mic I think this is an indicator light perhaps but 00:04:01.739 --> 00:04:09.420 we'll find out when we turn it on on this side we have oh this is the 00:04:05.760 --> 00:04:11.879 magnetic mount for the stylus boom just 00:04:09.420 --> 00:04:15.299 like an iPad look at that once again I feel taken care of 00:04:13.620 --> 00:04:19.019 oh if I did it like that it would come off 00:04:17.100 --> 00:04:21.979 the iPad too I think the real test is whether you can shake it up and down 00:04:20.459 --> 00:04:27.120 like oh 00:04:23.960 --> 00:04:30.259 ah I had it on wrong Jake I had the pen 00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:33.419 on wrong it's doing great now 00:04:30.259 --> 00:04:35.880 and on the I guess right side we have 00:04:33.419 --> 00:04:41.940 another speaker uh stereo speakers nice and a SIM card slot oh my bad this is 00:04:38.520 --> 00:04:45.180 not a SIM card slot it is a SD card slot 00:04:41.940 --> 00:04:47.699 which they call a TF card slot and agree 00:04:45.180 --> 00:04:51.360 to disagree oh a USBC right which is why the the card came with that and on the 00:04:49.860 --> 00:04:55.800 back of that camera module I don't know what the specs are right now I will find 00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:59.100 out later after this word from our sponsor you like that this video is 00:04:57.540 --> 00:05:03.300 brought to you by manscape you know Christmas is right around the corner and

was about to play some Pokemon I'm 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:40.080 intrigued by the idea of e-paper tablets 00:05:38.340 --> 00:05:44.460 but I think that there's a reason that they haven't become incredibly popular 00:05:41.940 --> 00:05:49.139 except as e-readers which is primarily the fact that you know oh the backlight 00:05:46.919 --> 00:05:54.120 kicked in that's cool the fact that the refresh rate necessarily has to be lower 00:05:51.660 --> 00:05:59.460 for an eating screen than it is for like you know an LCD a regular type of screen 00:05:56.460 --> 00:06:02.820 but books apparently has multiple 00:05:59.460 --> 00:06:05.100 refresh modes where there's like an HD 00:06:02.820 --> 00:06:08.460 mode for reading books with a low refresh rate and then there's a balanced 00:06:07.020 --> 00:06:12.900 and high refresh rate and super high refresh rate as I swipe nothing's 00:06:10.740 --> 00:06:17.940 happening until I complete the swipe and then it decides to refresh but I'm gonna 00:06:16.020 --> 00:06:21.780 want to go into the settings right away and try and get to the faster refresh 00:06:20.100 --> 00:06:27.060 rate just like scrolling a little bit like that I'm skipping past like four 00:06:24.539 --> 00:06:30.060 items here's power power is going to be at the bottom even if I just scroll like 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:34.860 a little bit so that's something that's kind of annoying to me right off the bat 00:06:31.620 --> 00:06:36.000 I want to be able to like just adjust a 00:06:34.860 --> 00:06:42.660 little bit the other thing that's jumping out to me is this is Android 11 but this looks like iOS there's a 00:06:40.500 --> 00:06:46.139 sidebar with all the categories and then over here you've got once you click into 00:06:44.340 --> 00:06:51.240 a category it's going to show you the options anyways display full refresh 00:06:48.479 --> 00:06:55.860 frequency what does that mean oh every five Taps it's gonna fully refresh the 00:06:54.120 --> 00:07:02.340 screen instead of like partially refresh it there's gentian impact on here 00:06:58.880 --> 00:07:05.220 I mean it is on Ultra fast okay so you 00:07:02.340 --> 00:07:09.360 can set specific apps to have certain types of refresh rates we've got HD mode 00:07:07.139 --> 00:07:12.960 balanced mode fast mode and Ultra fast and Ultra fast has even heavier detail 00:07:11.580 --> 00:07:16.020 loss but suitable for like playing videos oh my gosh 00:07:14.880 --> 00:07:20.639 wow so this is an ultra fast mode and even 00:07:19.139 --> 00:07:24.599 just when nothing's happening on screen it degrades the quality in order to have 00:07:22.919 --> 00:07:29.340 that higher refresh rate so like I had to like look close to like see that this 00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:32.639 this text looks pretty rough I mean like I said okay so right from the control 00:07:30.840 --> 00:07:35.940 center you can get right into like refresh modes and you can I guess you 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:40.199 can change it while you're actually in the app I'm opening the books website 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:45.840 and I'm scrolling okay we have finder control over scroll okay let's see fast 00:07:43.860 --> 00:07:49.620 is that better I can't even tell I think it's like a little bit better 00:07:47.400 --> 00:07:54.419 but not that different let's go to ultra fast I mean okay so that's noticeably 00:07:52.020 --> 00:07:57.900 smoother that's interesting so if you just go to the control center you can oh 00:07:56.400 --> 00:08:03.060 okay you can you can adjust the backlight it's not just on and off there's like levels to it that's pretty 00:08:00.599 --> 00:08:07.199 cool what's the moon thing wait what oh it is dual tone that's what they mean by 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:10.979 dual tone light is that you have a backlight that is cool and you have a 00:08:08.940 --> 00:08:16.740 backlight that is warm oh you can have them both at Max for like a mix 00:08:13.500 --> 00:08:19.259 can I zoom in oh look at this I'm 00:08:16.740 --> 00:08:23.759 zooming in on paper but actually so I'm in Ultra fast mode I'm going to switch 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:29.220 real quick to HD and see if that makes the image look any better he's got 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:31.500 ghosting lines oh I'm the ghost of Linus 00:08:29.220 --> 00:08:36.539 Sebastian can you see the that's weird because I had it set to 00:08:34.260 --> 00:08:40.140 five Taps it let me kind of like tap around five times before it like did a 00:08:38.520 --> 00:08:46.380 full refresh and got rid of the ghost image so if I zoom in here we have that 00:08:42.719 --> 00:08:48.540 ghost image there until I do a number of 00:08:46.380 --> 00:08:52.260 TAPS and then is it going to do a full refresh maybe it like knows when I just 00:08:50.160 --> 00:08:57.120 like stop touching it for a bit Yeah and then it's like okay lay off for a second 00:08:54.779 --> 00:09:00.180 so I can do the full refresh I'm fairly happy with the like browsing experience 00:08:58.740 --> 00:09:09.120 especially it's like scrolling like this this is an eating screen that's pretty impressive this thing has a 1872 by 1404 00:09:06.300 --> 00:09:13.080 resolution and it's a 10.3 inch screen which I never said although you should 00:09:10.740 --> 00:09:16.320 be able to tell based on you knowing exactly how big my hands are okay we're 00:09:14.940 --> 00:09:23.420 back to the super premium feeling keyboard this thing is about to go from 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:27.000 janky E Ink tablet to the most premium 00:09:23.420 --> 00:09:29.220 ooh so you can set it to auto rotate 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:34.380 like a normal device or you can set it to only auto rotate to the flipped 00:09:32.100 --> 00:09:38.700 orientation that you're that you that you desire for it it's kind of Awesome 00:09:36.420 --> 00:09:43.860 it is kind of cool if you're like I'm only using this to e-read to read books 00:09:41.160 --> 00:09:48.300 and I only read books like this so I only wanted to know if I like in in my 00:09:46.500 --> 00:09:53.220 bed and I have my phone upside down or something okay I'm in the keyboard folio 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:59.459 and now this is interesting unlike an iPad or I turned auto rotate off 00:09:56.459 --> 00:10:01.260 oh keyboard Access Auto landscape and 00:09:59.459 --> 00:10:03.959 they may have keyboard shortcuts cool so I guess it's saying when you connect it 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:06.720 into the keyboard folio it'll automatically go to landscape but it 00:10:05.580 --> 00:10:11.160 wasn't I thought it wasn't doing that but you got keyboard shortcuts here which is actually pretty cool that they 00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:15.120 tell you right up front but it only applies to the Onyx official keyboard 00:10:12.899 --> 00:10:18.779 which is this thing so you can use other Bluetooth keyboards with it although it 00:10:17.220 --> 00:10:21.140 comes with it so that might be kind of weird but 00:10:21.959 --> 00:10:26.240 Oh I thought that was part of the crab Rave but no that 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:33.720 this is so funny because I'm also there's also ghosting 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:37.200 hello it sounds a little less offensive when you turn the volume down a little 00:10:35.160 --> 00:10:41.279 bit and it's not trying so hard at max volume that definitely sounds obviously 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:45.480 distorted it doesn't sound very well uh very good just the fact that this is an 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:50.760 e-ink tablet and I'm playing a video with sound on YouTube is kind of that's 00:10:48.779 --> 00:10:54.240 that's fun that's fun by itself this entire time the video has been playing 00:10:52.079 --> 00:10:58.200 the ghosting from various other things app icons the control center Reddit 00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:03.240 pinch to zoom that's all there if I was using this for either work or for 00:11:01.019 --> 00:11:07.200 reading and someone sent me a video and I wanted a chickly chickly and I wanted 00:11:05.339 --> 00:11:11.820 to quickly check it I get the gist of what was going on 00:11:09.180 --> 00:11:17.640 very blurry okay now just for just for Giggles Jake humor me I'm gonna play the 00:11:14.579 --> 00:11:20.150 video in HD mode which is the lowest 00:11:17.640 --> 00:11:21.500 refresh rate okay 00:11:21.500 --> 00:11:24.980 do you see that 00:11:25.620 --> 00:11:32.820 uh the speakers weren't incredibly impressive but you know they've they'll 00:11:30.300 --> 00:11:36.720 do the job a big use case of this other than just reading books is taking notes 00:11:34.980 --> 00:11:40.019 they have the pen and everything and you know I'm sure that's part of the 00:11:38.160 --> 00:11:44.760 marketing is that like oh this is a device you could get take nice notes 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:50.040 with so let's open the notes app I'm guessing this is books's own Notes app 00:11:47.459 --> 00:11:54.120 if I put my hand on nothing wait but I thought we were not we were 00:11:52.019 --> 00:11:58.140 just in regular HD mode hello because like it it seems pretty responsive for 00:11:56.700 --> 00:12:03.120 like an eating screen honestly that's crazy the stylus apparently has 4096 00:12:01.380 --> 00:12:06.600 levels of pressure sensitivity which is a number that I remember being 00:12:04.680 --> 00:12:12.360 associated with other styluses that I've used so I'm going very lightly it's a 00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:16.440 thin line and then I press it gets thick 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:18.120 thin thick yeah nice the notes app seems 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:23.160 cool real quick I want to see the multitasking huh is there no 00:12:20.220 --> 00:12:28.380 multitasking menu even when you set the default like home screen refresh speed 00:12:26.100 --> 00:12:32.160 to ultra fast when you scroll on something like this it doesn't scroll 00:12:30.060 --> 00:12:36.240 like the web page incrementally it just jumps which is annoying but this is kind 00:12:34.019 --> 00:12:39.660 of cool when you swipe to the right from the home screen you get this little like 00:12:37.800 --> 00:12:42.540 launcher place where you got your library with a number of books that I 00:12:41.459 --> 00:12:49.079 imagine that you might be reading recently let's go back to notepad because there's a couple features I just 00:12:46.019 --> 00:12:54.000 want to look at hello 00:12:49.079 --> 00:12:56.160 nice bro Brew with two o's nice 00:12:54.000 --> 00:13:05.940 but if I wanted to actually type with the keyboard typing experience 00:12:59.899 --> 00:13:08.700 is pretty good the key keys feel 00:13:05.940 --> 00:13:12.720 kind of mushy yeah there's not as much of a tactile bump as I would like they 00:13:10.680 --> 00:13:16.320 definitely feel I think at first glance you feel them and you're kind of like oh 00:13:13.980 --> 00:13:19.620 that feels kind of tactile but there's a lot of travel distance there's more 00:13:17.880 --> 00:13:23.459 travel distance than I would like she's like oh you want to press me okay so on 00:13:21.540 --> 00:13:28.200 the back there's a 16 megapixel camera but I couldn't find a camera app so it 00:13:26.700 --> 00:13:33.420 might be that it's called the smart scanner because it's only really meant 00:13:30.060 --> 00:13:36.839 to be used to scan documents that's so 00:13:33.420 --> 00:13:38.279 funny okay uh smile 00:13:36.839 --> 00:13:42.959 here's your photos what do you want to do with it I can import it I can go to 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:48.480 the next step all right here we are crop it you can rotate it you can hand write 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:50.399 on it add text you can detect text in 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:56.579 the document it right here on the tablet and then send it to your notes app or to 00:13:53.760 --> 00:14:01.800 or to create a PDF okay I can send to a node I can send it over Bluetooth use 00:13:58.680 --> 00:14:03.959 onyxmail nearby you can use nearby share 00:14:01.800 --> 00:14:08.279 like Androids feature yeah this is like the default Android nearby share so it's 00:14:06.300 --> 00:14:13.139 like airdropping but for Androids the problems of philosophy give me a little 00:14:10.260 --> 00:14:16.560 sample boom how do I change the view and stuff I don't know how people use I've 00:14:14.940 --> 00:14:20.279 never used an e-reader this big so I don't know how people like read I would 00:14:18.660 --> 00:14:25.440 want the text to be smaller and I'm there must be a way to do that I don't 00:14:22.079 --> 00:14:27.839 know how to do it though anyways 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:33.240 the reading seeps fine but what I'm really interested in is gaming on the 00:14:30.660 --> 00:14:37.500 e-ink on the books tab Ultra because yeah this thing has we installed gentian 00:14:35.579 --> 00:14:40.920 impact on it can you play that with just the touch controls I've never played 00:14:39.060 --> 00:14:46.100 this game they don't say in the specs page what the actual CPU is it just says 00:14:43.139 --> 00:14:52.560 Qualcomm octa-core there's four gigs of lpddr4x RAM and 128 gigs of storage okay 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:56.480 will it go in the background if I go to the home screen 00:14:53.760 --> 00:14:56.480 hopefully 00:14:58.459 --> 00:15:06.560 okay uh this is I'm this is me gaming uh 00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:13.199 we wanted to open genjen impact for the memes but that didn't really work out in 00:15:11.459 --> 00:15:17.279 conclusion I came into this thinking that this was just gonna be like a janky 00:15:14.880 --> 00:15:22.019 uh you know like fun little tablet but this is like a full-featured Android 00:15:19.019 --> 00:15:23.519 tablet with the whole app ecosystem with 00:15:22.019 --> 00:15:26.639 the refresh rate that actually makes it usable in some cases that you wouldn't 00:15:25.019 --> 00:15:30.720 expect the e-ink tablet to be able to be usable in overall I'm pretty impressed 00:15:28.800 --> 00:15:35.459 with with the usability with the build quality more impressed than I thought 00:15:32.579 --> 00:15:39.899 I'd be thanks for watching ShortCircuit that's us if you want to watch more 00:15:37.380 --> 00:15:46.160 videos click this one somewhere to watch the one of my iPad ones and I love you 00:15:42.300
