1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,040
okay we gotta move this big thing over here

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:13,040
not because it's not cool it's just that the cool thing we're focused on today is a lot smaller

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:15,920
these are coming hard and heavy now i'm

4
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:20,960
talking of course about the bezel-less notchless phones from you know major

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:24,720
brands like oppo

6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:29,279
and vivo okay yeah they're both a lot bigger in

7
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:30,400
asia especially apple oppo is freaking

8
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:35,840
huge in asia so but how is it that they beat samsung to

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:40,559
the punch and for that matter what was apple thinking

10
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:44,800
trying to make taking a bite out of your display into some kind of a status

11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:49,840
symbol their hubris is going to be their downfall i swear

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:53,840
actually you know what who am i kidding if it hasn't happened yet then why would

13
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:59,359
it start now anyway this is the find x from chinese brand oppo

14
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:04,159
and the reviewer's guide came with a bunch of restrictions in terms of what i

15
00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:09,760
was or wasn't allowed to test but i didn't sign anything so let's fire up

16
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:12,760
the trippiest phone camera i have ever seen

17
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,920
and look at some test photos and stuff shall we

18
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:29,200
oh right speaking of ah

19
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:35,400
do you not have a vpn go check out private internet access we've got a link

20
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,400
below get a vpn today

21
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:51,520
so i'm going to go ahead and say it it is one thing to rip off the iphone 10

22
00:01:48,479 --> 00:01:53,200
and it is another to rip off the galaxy

23
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,880
s9 plus but to rip off

24
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:01,680
both of them and somehow do it

25
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:04,560
at the same time that is impressive

26
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,879
and that takes some serious

27
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:13,280
hutzpah so the fine 10 uh stopped me if you heard

28
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,640
this one before is a flagship Android smartphone with a snapdragon 845

29
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:21,599
processor eight gigs of lpddr4 RAM up to 256 gigs of storage a 37 30 milliamp

30
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:26,400
hour battery that is strangely specific dual sim slots fast five volt four and a

31
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:30,560
half amp charging Android 8.1 and yes here is the first big iphone 10

32
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,800
ripoff somebody's done it somebody has cloned

33
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:38,959
face id so my initial briefing materials this is

34
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:45,360
great said they were planning to call this o face

35
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,800
structured light show it swipe

36
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:51,200
oh anyway i guess some party pooper tipped

37
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:55,519
them off so the official name is probably tbd

38
00:02:52,720 --> 00:03:00,800
but it uses a flood illuminator an infrared camera proximity sensor a dot

39
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:03,360
projector receiver and an RGB camera

40
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:09,280
which is another way of saying a camera and so far the thing has worked

41
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:11,680
basically seamlessly like check this out

42
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:15,680
so what you do is you swipe it grabs your face it takes about half a

43
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:21,200
second to go up and then half a second to go down and bam you're unlocked now

44
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:27,200
unfortunately i can't demo side by side with the iphone 10 because for whatever

45
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:30,239
reason face id is broken on my iphone i didn't feel like waiting two hours at

46
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:35,680
the apple store last time i was in the mall but from my memory the speed is

47
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:40,480
actually pretty similar once you factor in that the iphone 10

48
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:46,720
uses a lift to wake mechanism before face id will grab your face and register

49
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:48,480
it so by comparison this one i mean okay

50
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:54,400
so it does have lift to wake so i'm just gonna show so it has lift to wake but

51
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:58,480
the facial scanner obviously is is recessed right now so what you have to

52
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:02,000
do is you have to swipe the screen and then it comes up

53
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:08,400
and then it goes back down once it's done it's pretty freaking cool so it

54
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:09,519
uses a total of 15 000 dots

55
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:15,200
and if nothing else this is an absolutely

56
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:18,400
jaw-dropping part draw drawing jaw dropping party trick like check this out

57
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,770
so i'm gonna i'm gonna go out of my way to lock it and like you know you pull

58
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,000
out your phone to be like

59
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,960
that is so cool now with that said i do wish and this is

60
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:38,080
true of both the find x and the iphone 10 that

61
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:43,520
like vivo's next s there was a fingerprint scanner under the screen

62
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:48,720
this is a great solution because there are no moving parts and this one

63
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:51,919
actually has a fairly similar screen to

64
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:54,560
body ratio to the find x

65
00:04:51,919 --> 00:04:57,440
i can say too though i mean like not drawing a ton of conclusions right now

66
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:03,600
because my time with the device has been pretty limited that i think i prefer apple's lift to

67
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:07,440
activate rather than swipe to activate especially because it allows face id to

68
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:12,160
work while it's just sitting down on a table in front of you

69
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,880
but then you are stuck with the notch

70
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:19,360
that holds all of the face id sensors and you don't get the all screen

71
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,280
experience and the all screen experience is pretty

72
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:29,120
freaking cool like i didn't rip out the calipers but apple claims that this is a

73
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:35,280
92.25 screen to body ratio and i have no

74
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:39,520
reason whatsoever to doubt it it looks absolutely amazing they're using pretty

75
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:44,000
much every trick available today including something called cop or chip

76
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:50,000
on panel which is like a flexible screen technology which

77
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,280
basically kind of wraps the electronics

78
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,759
for the display under the visible part of the panel

79
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:59,759
which curves around the sides so it doesn't have to sit on the edges which

80
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:05,199
gives you less bezel than ever before and that is where the samsung galaxy s9 comes in

81
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,960
okay come over here so so the similarities here

82
00:06:07,039 --> 00:06:14,319
are um pretty striking so they've both got

83
00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:16,960
curved gorilla glass 5 on both the front and the back now this one's got a d

84
00:06:15,919 --> 00:06:21,560
brand skin so you can't really see it there but it's there this one's got a

85
00:06:19,039 --> 00:06:25,680
6.4 inch amoled display running 2340x1080 so it is slightly lower

86
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:31,520
resolution but i do actually prefer

87
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:34,960
this taller aspect ratio so that's a 19

88
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,960
and a half by 9 aspect ratio other than

89
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:42,319
the difference in the bezels here on the bottom and here on the top so the fine 10 is

90
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:47,280
using uh swipe based navigation by the way you can use gestures or you can add

91
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:52,160
buttons these things look so similar like there's very little to distinguish

92
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:55,440
them on the top the s9 plus has got the sim tray whereas this one doesn't but

93
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:58,319
that's obviously because they've got this motorized

94
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:03,599
mechanism for the camera here you couldn't very well put a sim slot in

95
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,360
that thing and then on the bottom

96
00:07:03,599 --> 00:07:09,680
okay so they weren't able to fit a headphone jack presumably because they

97
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:13,440
needed to make room for the dual sim tray right there

98
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:17,759
uh it is a little bit thinner though which doesn't really register in the

99
00:07:15,599 --> 00:07:21,759
hand so much because it feels a little heavier although i

100
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:25,039
haven't actually put either of them on the scale the other the other thing

101
00:07:23,599 --> 00:07:28,960
that's similar is even the colors so i've got the bordeaux version of the

102
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:33,039
fine 10 and i've got the lilac version of the s9 so they've actually both

103
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:37,199
managed to come out with purple phones which

104
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:40,080
previously i don't think was a very common thing

105
00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:44,000
um yeah so not super stoked on the lack of

106
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:48,160
headphone jack oh right other other differences lock buttons on this side

107
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:51,199
and then over here the only thing missing is a bixby button if you're

108
00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:56,960
especially into that sort of thing which i suspect most of you are not

109
00:07:54,479 --> 00:08:01,199
camera wise we've got 20 megapixel dual cameras whatever that means um so the

110
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:08,319
spec sheet that i had actually wasn't 100 sure it seemed to think it was a 16

111
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:10,560
megapixel f 2.0 and a 20 megapixel f 2.2

112
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:14,319
and because it's got dual cameras it does have a portrait mode but quite

113
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:18,000
frankly uh maybe they still have some software

114
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:23,599
work to do or something along those lines i did do some test shots but

115
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:25,280
it is pretty rough right now which is

116
00:08:23,599 --> 00:08:31,360
kind of weird to me especially when you consider that oppo is closely related to

117
00:08:28,479 --> 00:08:36,159
one plus and oneplus's portrait mode actually isn't too shabby this is

118
00:08:33,839 --> 00:08:40,399
actually not a terrible example of it it did reasonably well here but the biggest

119
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:47,360
difference so the main phones that i used for comparison were the s9 plus the

120
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:51,120
pixel 2 xl and then i threw in both the

121
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:53,360
nexus and the find 10 and the biggest

122
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:59,920
difference between the korean and the american phone i guess and the chinese

123
00:08:55,839 --> 00:09:02,080
ones were that instead of a bokeh effect

124
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:08,160
the chinese phones both seemed to be content with blurring the background

125
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:10,399
which is not necessarily the same thing

126
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:14,560
they don't look the same another big difference that i noticed

127
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:18,000
between this and the s9 plus is actually something that i first picked up on a

128
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:22,640
review that i'm working on of the alcatel 3v

129
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:27,519
so this is a 150 phone way at the other end of the spectrum here

130
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:29,360
and that is that for some reason

131
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:36,000
and i still haven't narrowed down exactly why because netflix

132
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:36,880
did not reply to my inquiry but for some

133
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,920
reason the HDR certified phones that i'm

134
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:46,959
getting are not just getting an HDR version of movies like this is thor

135
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:51,200
ragnarok here they are also getting a higher resolution version it is very

136
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:57,360
noticeable in the hair on the characters or in any fine details in the distance

137
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:59,200
that this one not only has HDR colors

138
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,160
it is also getting a higher resolution feed and i haven't quite figured out

139
00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:08,240
exactly why that would be so jury's kind of vote

140
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:14,079
on this other than lacking HDR um wireless charging and having some

141
00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:17,200
serious misgivings about the durability of this mechanism like i'm already

142
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:21,760
noticing when i'm holding the camera to take a picture i'm kind of getting my fingers in there and if i were to close

143
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:25,680
the camera while they're in there it doesn't pinch but

144
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,519
there's there's definitely room for it to screw up

145
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:33,040
i'm not sure if i'm ready to give a recommendation but i don't know if that

146
00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:37,920
matters because there isn't even like a global

147
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:40,959
rom available yet with Android assistant for example things that north americans

148
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,000
would be used to seeing and i don't know if apple has any plans to enter north

149
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:48,480
america but it's definitely a cool phone i'm

150
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:53,120
just not sure if this as amazing and cool as it is is quite

151
00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:58,880
the right approach to all scree phone but i just i don't not 100 sure what the answer is

152
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:03,200
so so far we've got the notch which i i also don't think is the right

153
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:07,920
answer we've got your selfie camera down here and just one big bezel which i'm

154
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:11,760
not sure is the right answer we've got samsung with

155
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:17,040
you know maybe they can make this a little smaller but beyond that they really can't go anywhere with it

156
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:22,000
and then we've got vivo with the in-screen fingerprint sensor which is

157
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:26,000
not a bad approach but remember they too have a mechanical camera raising thing

158
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:30,079
but with this one it only pops up when you need to take a selfie which for me

159
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:35,120
anyway comes up an awful lot less

160
00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:39,279
so let me know your comments below does oppo have the right approach here

161
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:45,920
or do we have to rethink everything does it even matter if you

162
00:11:42,959 --> 00:11:50,720
have an all screen phone i will say it makes everything else feel

163
00:11:47,839 --> 00:11:55,440
very last gen like a pixel 2 xl is like like caveman compared to this thing and
