WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.040
okay we gotta move this big thing over here

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

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:15.920
these are coming hard and heavy now i'm

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:20.960
talking of course about the bezel-less notchless phones from you know major

00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:24.720
brands like oppo

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:29.279
and vivo okay yeah they're both a lot bigger in

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:30.400
asia especially apple oppo is freaking

00:00:29.279 --> 00:00:35.840
huge in asia so but how is it that they beat samsung to

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:40.559
the punch and for that matter what was apple thinking

00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:44.800
trying to make taking a bite out of your display into some kind of a status

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:49.840
symbol their hubris is going to be their downfall i swear

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

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:59.359
it start now anyway this is the find x from chinese brand oppo

00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:04.159
and the reviewer's guide came with a bunch of restrictions in terms of what i

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

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:12.760
the trippiest phone camera i have ever seen

00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:17.920
and look at some test photos and stuff shall we

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:29.200
oh right speaking of ah

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

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:35.400
below get a vpn today

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

00:01:48.479 --> 00:01:53.200
and it is another to rip off the galaxy

00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:56.880
s9 plus but to rip off

00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:01.680
both of them and somehow do it

00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:04.560
at the same time that is impressive

00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:08.879
and that takes some serious

00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:13.280
hutzpah so the fine 10 uh stopped me if you heard

00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:16.640
this one before is a flagship Android smartphone with a snapdragon 845

00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:21.599
processor eight gigs of lpddr4 RAM up to 256 gigs of storage a 37 30 milliamp

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:26.400
hour battery that is strangely specific dual sim slots fast five volt four and a

00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:30.560
half amp charging Android 8.1 and yes here is the first big iphone 10

00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:34.800
ripoff somebody's done it somebody has cloned

00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:38.959
face id so my initial briefing materials this is

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:45.360
great said they were planning to call this o face

00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:46.800
structured light show it swipe

00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:51.200
oh anyway i guess some party pooper tipped

00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:55.519
them off so the official name is probably tbd

00:02:52.720 --> 00:03:00.800
but it uses a flood illuminator an infrared camera proximity sensor a dot

00:02:57.760 --> 00:03:03.360
projector receiver and an RGB camera

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:09.280
which is another way of saying a camera and so far the thing has worked

00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:11.680
basically seamlessly like check this out

00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:15.680
so what you do is you swipe it grabs your face it takes about half a

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

00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:27.200
unfortunately i can't demo side by side with the iphone 10 because for whatever

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

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

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:40.480
actually pretty similar once you factor in that the iphone 10

00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:46.720
uses a lift to wake mechanism before face id will grab your face and register

00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:48.480
it so by comparison this one i mean okay

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

00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:58.480
the facial scanner obviously is is recessed right now so what you have to

00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:02.000
do is you have to swipe the screen and then it comes up

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

00:04:04.799 --> 00:04:09.519
uses a total of 15 000 dots

00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:15.200
and if nothing else this is an absolutely

00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:18.400
jaw-dropping part draw drawing jaw dropping party trick like check this out

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

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:24.000
out your phone to be like

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:30.960
that is so cool now with that said i do wish and this is

00:04:29.919 --> 00:04:38.080
true of both the find x and the iphone 10 that

00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:43.520
like vivo's next s there was a fingerprint scanner under the screen

00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:48.720
this is a great solution because there are no moving parts and this one

00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:51.919
actually has a fairly similar screen to

00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:54.560
body ratio to the find x

00:04:51.919 --> 00:04:57.440
i can say too though i mean like not drawing a ton of conclusions right now

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

00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:07.440
activate rather than swipe to activate especially because it allows face id to

00:05:05.280 --> 00:05:12.160
work while it's just sitting down on a table in front of you

00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:14.880
but then you are stuck with the notch

00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:19.360
that holds all of the face id sensors and you don't get the all screen

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:23.280
experience and the all screen experience is pretty

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

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:35.280
92.25 screen to body ratio and i have no

00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:39.520
reason whatsoever to doubt it it looks absolutely amazing they're using pretty

00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:44.000
much every trick available today including something called cop or chip

00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:50.000
on panel which is like a flexible screen technology which

00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:51.280
basically kind of wraps the electronics

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:55.759
for the display under the visible part of the panel

00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:59.759
which curves around the sides so it doesn't have to sit on the edges which

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

00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:08.960
okay come over here so so the similarities here

00:06:07.039 --> 00:06:14.319
are um pretty striking so they've both got

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

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

00:06:19.039 --> 00:06:25.680
6.4 inch amoled display running 2340x1080 so it is slightly lower

00:06:23.919 --> 00:06:31.520
resolution but i do actually prefer

00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:34.960
this taller aspect ratio so that's a 19

00:06:31.520 --> 00:06:36.960
and a half by 9 aspect ratio other than

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

00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:47.280
using uh swipe based navigation by the way you can use gestures or you can add

00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:52.160
buttons these things look so similar like there's very little to distinguish

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

00:06:53.840 --> 00:06:58.319
that's obviously because they've got this motorized

00:06:56.880 --> 00:07:03.599
mechanism for the camera here you couldn't very well put a sim slot in

00:07:00.080 --> 00:07:05.360
that thing and then on the bottom

00:07:03.599 --> 00:07:09.680
okay so they weren't able to fit a headphone jack presumably because they

00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:13.440
needed to make room for the dual sim tray right there

00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:17.759
uh it is a little bit thinner though which doesn't really register in the

00:07:15.599 --> 00:07:21.759
hand so much because it feels a little heavier although i

00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:25.039
haven't actually put either of them on the scale the other the other thing

00:07:23.599 --> 00:07:28.960
that's similar is even the colors so i've got the bordeaux version of the

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

00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:37.199
managed to come out with purple phones which

00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:40.080
previously i don't think was a very common thing

00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:44.000
um yeah so not super stoked on the lack of

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:48.160
headphone jack oh right other other differences lock buttons on this side

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.199
and then over here the only thing missing is a bixby button if you're

00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:56.960
especially into that sort of thing which i suspect most of you are not

00:07:54.479 --> 00:08:01.199
camera wise we've got 20 megapixel dual cameras whatever that means um so the

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

00:08:03.840 --> 00:08:10.560
megapixel f 2.0 and a 20 megapixel f 2.2

00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:14.319
and because it's got dual cameras it does have a portrait mode but quite

00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:18.000
frankly uh maybe they still have some software

00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:23.599
work to do or something along those lines i did do some test shots but

00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:25.280
it is pretty rough right now which is

00:08:23.599 --> 00:08:31.360
kind of weird to me especially when you consider that oppo is closely related to

00:08:28.479 --> 00:08:36.159
one plus and oneplus's portrait mode actually isn't too shabby this is

00:08:33.839 --> 00:08:40.399
actually not a terrible example of it it did reasonably well here but the biggest

00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:47.360
difference so the main phones that i used for comparison were the s9 plus the

00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:51.120
pixel 2 xl and then i threw in both the

00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:53.360
nexus and the find 10 and the biggest

00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:59.920
difference between the korean and the american phone i guess and the chinese

00:08:55.839 --> 00:09:02.080
ones were that instead of a bokeh effect

00:08:59.920 --> 00:09:08.160
the chinese phones both seemed to be content with blurring the background

00:09:05.040 --> 00:09:10.399
which is not necessarily the same thing

00:09:08.160 --> 00:09:14.560
they don't look the same another big difference that i noticed

00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:18.000
between this and the s9 plus is actually something that i first picked up on a

00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:22.640
review that i'm working on of the alcatel 3v

00:09:19.920 --> 00:09:27.519
so this is a 150 phone way at the other end of the spectrum here

00:09:24.160 --> 00:09:29.360
and that is that for some reason

00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:36.000
and i still haven't narrowed down exactly why because netflix

00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:36.880
did not reply to my inquiry but for some

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:41.920
reason the HDR certified phones that i'm

00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:46.959
getting are not just getting an HDR version of movies like this is thor

00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:51.200
ragnarok here they are also getting a higher resolution version it is very

00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:57.360
noticeable in the hair on the characters or in any fine details in the distance

00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:59.200
that this one not only has HDR colors

00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:02.160
it is also getting a higher resolution feed and i haven't quite figured out

00:10:00.959 --> 00:10:08.240
exactly why that would be so jury's kind of vote

00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:14.079
on this other than lacking HDR um wireless charging and having some

00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:17.200
serious misgivings about the durability of this mechanism like i'm already

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

00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:25.680
the camera while they're in there it doesn't pinch but

00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:29.519
there's there's definitely room for it to screw up

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

00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:37.920
matters because there isn't even like a global

00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:40.959
rom available yet with Android assistant for example things that north americans

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

00:10:42.640 --> 00:10:48.480
america but it's definitely a cool phone i'm

00:10:45.680 --> 00:10:53.120
just not sure if this as amazing and cool as it is is quite

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

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

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

00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:11.760
not sure is the right answer we've got samsung with

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

00:11:14.880 --> 00:11:22.000
and then we've got vivo with the in-screen fingerprint sensor which is

00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:26.000
not a bad approach but remember they too have a mechanical camera raising thing

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

00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:35.120
anyway comes up an awful lot less

00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:39.279
so let me know your comments below does oppo have the right approach here

00:11:38.160 --> 00:11:45.920
or do we have to rethink everything does it even matter if you

00:11:42.959 --> 00:11:50.720
have an all screen phone i will say it makes everything else feel

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

00:11:53.040 --> 00:12:01.440
i remember being impressed by this one this video is brought to you by massdrop

00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:03.920
the massdrop x hifi n he 350 headphones

00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:08.000
specifically they're using new dynamic drivers so different from what was used

00:12:05.680 --> 00:12:12.079
in the he 300 which results in a more neutral sound signature they feature a

00:12:10.079 --> 00:12:16.399
comfortable headband the lure ear pads and a detachable cable and they ship

00:12:14.160 --> 00:12:20.160
within two to three days so check them out at the link in the video description

00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:25.360
and also while you're on mass drop check out all the freaking awesome deals that

00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:27.680
they've got over there so

00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:31.600
thanks for watching guys if you disliked this video you can hit that button but if you liked it hit like get subscribed

00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:35.600
or maybe consider checking out where to buy the stuff we featured haha you can't

00:12:33.760 --> 00:12:38.560
uh so i don't know buy something else at the link in the video description also

00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:44.720
down there is our merch store which has cool shirts like this one and our community forum which you should totally
