WEBVTT

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:04.720
i think especially in light of the livestream that i uploaded earlier this

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:09.760
week it's going to come as a bit of a surprise to you guys that we have been

00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:13.120
working on a new channel concept for the last few months that i think we are just

00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:16.880
about ready to show the world the working name is ShortCircuit we're

00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:20.640
gonna have a link to the youtube channel in the video description so you guys can

00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:23.439
go over there go subscribe there's actually gonna be nothing on it so i

00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:28.640
hope it's gonna end up being one of those hilarious channels with like a silver play button and literally no

00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:32.079
videos uploaded to it but don't worry we're gonna have content coming on the

00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:36.559
surface it's gonna look really similar to Linus tech tips it's gonna be tech

00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:40.640
oriented unboxings first impressions things like that the reason that it

00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:45.200
needs to exist is that sometimes we see a really cool product and we can't think

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:48.480
of exactly the right title and exactly the right thumbnail and then we end up

00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:51.120
just not making a video about it at all and that sucks and it's not a lot of fun

00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:57.120
so that's what this is we want this to be an outlet for us to just take

00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:01.520
cool stuff that we're interested in and check it out so

00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:07.439
let's kick it off shall we this is the pataka air quad and this is a third

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:11.760
party attempt at what apple failed to do which was to create a wireless charger

00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:15.600
where their vision was that you were going to be able to take your air pods

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:20.400
your apple watch and your iphone and just

00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:24.159
chuck them all on there don't worry about getting the you know the magnetic

00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:27.040
charging coils exactly positioned right they were just all going to charge you

00:01:25.520 --> 00:01:31.759
just grab them all in the morning and you're ready to rock apple abandoned

00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:35.759
that we did get some third party options and i actually grabbed this one from

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:42.000
mophie that i could show you guys for comparison but what this one does is not

00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:44.960
quite what apple promised so it does charge all your devices at the same time

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:49.200
you know you throw your air pods there you throw your apple watch there throw your iphone

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:54.479
there it goes a little something like that but if you don't line it up just right this is actually the one that i'm

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:58.640
daily driving right now it it doesn't it doesn't actually work okay so i'm really

00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:02.320
excited about this thing then it's got an auto flip up watch charger position

00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:06.719
free charging so they claim you can just chuck your phone anywhere you want on it

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:10.879
because it has multiple built-in wireless charging coils wirelessly

00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:15.120
charge your air pods well i would sure as heck hope so four in one

00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:19.280
wireless charger yes got it also one of those things isn't wireless because the

00:02:16.640 --> 00:02:22.239
ipad charger uses a wire m 18 watt wireless fast charging sleep charging

00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:25.599
perfect as an organizer so let's check it out

00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:30.160
listen to that thing that is

00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:33.440
built wow if you're into the chrome look i guess this is going to be right up

00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:37.680
your alley if you want somewhere to keep the keys

00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:41.920
to your bentley or whatever bentleys are kind of chromed out right yeah yeah ish

00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:45.680
yeah okay what's something more chromed out what's a more chromed out

00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:51.680
car than a bentley andy what kind of car owner is gonna be into this

00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:57.599
the good news is that the super shiny part

00:02:55.040 --> 00:03:03.200
goes on the bottom and all you end up with is a relatively tasteful chrome

00:03:00.239 --> 00:03:08.480
accent and then like a carbon fibery looking finish on the top so i'm

00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:11.760
actually a little curious as to how is

00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:14.400
that oh okay i get it so if you don't

00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:19.120
have an ipad and you're not interested in standing up your ipad here and then

00:03:16.239 --> 00:03:23.680
there's a little slightly flexible usb type-c here at least you can just tuck

00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:26.159
that out of the way and focus on charging your phone and your watch and

00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:33.840
your uh airpods all right you get to build your own wall wart how does this go on

00:03:34.239 --> 00:03:40.959
there we go that wasn't so hard and other than that just packaging oh that's

00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:46.080
cute this must be their apple watch charger adopts patented flip up design

00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:51.360
allowing you to take full advantage of versatility i always like to take full

00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:55.840
advantage of my versatility even factoring in that some stuff's

00:03:53.040 --> 00:04:02.400
going to overhang it the air quad takes up on butt ton of space compared to the

00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:04.959
mophie this is a lot smaller not to

00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:08.400
mention a lot thinner but i guess that's the price that you pay for having a

00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.360
whole bunch of charging coils inside it also we still haven't figured out what

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:16.479
this dial does the usbc thing look at this oh okay so

00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:21.440
if you've got a case on your ipad you can raise it up a little bit for

00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:25.919
maximum penetration and then if you don't then you can kind of pull it back

00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:29.440
it's a lot heavier it's a lot bigger it's a lot thicker but if the

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:33.600
performance is there then i guess it doesn't really matter so the first thing

00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:37.840
i want to do is chuck all my devices on the mophie because i've got a super

00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:41.840
convenient Android app here for detecting the rate at which a phone is

00:04:40.479 --> 00:04:47.919
charging i'm not going to be able to measure the charging rate of the airpods or the apple watch but this will tell me

00:04:45.919 --> 00:04:51.360
you know how much juice is left over for the phone when you've got all three

00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:54.240
devices charging at the same time let's give it a hot minute here it's what the

00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:56.960
kids call it when it's more than a minute you know i'm going to reposition

00:04:55.919 --> 00:05:02.479
this a little bit i want to see if it gets worse or better we're dropping so that's clearly too low okay so let's go

00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:06.479
back up this way a bit we want to find out exactly where the charging coil is

00:05:04.400 --> 00:05:10.479
in this phone oh there we go okay we're getting right up there

00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:16.720
and we fell off a cliff all right now it's time for the pataka

00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:19.680
okay the magnet hold i wouldn't describe it as amazing to be

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:24.320
honest with you so you can see it grabbing on there

00:05:22.479 --> 00:05:27.360
but actually i think the mophie holds better i mean

00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:31.360
either way it's not gonna be a problem it's not gonna fall off by accident so i'm not gonna take too many marks off

00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:35.680
for that but okay we've got our oh bloody hell this

00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:40.080
isn't even a charging case who's got a charging case for their airpods yeah we

00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:45.199
good now we got the wireless charging case all right let's try that again shall we

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:51.520
okay doesn't seem to make any difference whatsoever we're right around the same

00:05:47.919 --> 00:05:54.320
1.3 1.4 amps attack of time that sounds

00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:57.039
cool yeah protagotive you know it's kind of funny they say

00:05:55.759 --> 00:06:01.199
well you can put it anywhere you want but like it's only about as big as a

00:05:59.039 --> 00:06:05.280
phone anyway two things we want to check for here one is if there are claims

00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:08.240
about it being able to charge kind of no matter where you put the phone on the

00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:12.400
pad are true and two if it can even get close to

00:06:10.880 --> 00:06:17.360
keeping up with our mophie oh we're ramping up this time yep we're right up

00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:21.919
in the same range as the mophie 1.3 amps oh

00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:24.800
we are discharging boys and girls you better go get that checked by the way

00:06:23.520 --> 00:06:29.280
there you go so you don't want to get too close to the edge we're at an amp

00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:35.039
now which tells us for sure we've got coils somewhere in this area somewhere

00:06:31.520 --> 00:06:37.280
in this area and as advertised when we

00:06:35.039 --> 00:06:43.120
put the phone right in between them it doesn't charge well but it does charge

00:06:40.880 --> 00:06:48.000
so let's try something new based on what i've seen so far i am not expecting

00:06:45.919 --> 00:06:52.000
there to be any wireless charging coils over here but

00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:57.039
yeah no we discharging again how interesting i think we just figured

00:06:54.240 --> 00:07:02.560
out why apple wasn't comfortable coming out with air power because even if

00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:08.160
you're aligned with the coil there's still an orientation dependency here so

00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:13.520
what pataka has done is they've said you can put the phone anywhere you want

00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.440
as long as where you want to put it is

00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:20.479
here and running this way not this way what

00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:24.639
do you think david do you consider this acceptable for put anywhere as long as

00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:29.039
it's no it's not charging like that that's

00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:32.880
not put anywhere okay but what if what if so i've already got my other stuff on

00:07:31.039 --> 00:07:39.120
here right okay now can if i can put it anywhere where it's

00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:43.599
on the pad is that not put it anywhere and it looks

00:07:41.919 --> 00:07:47.520
like it was an anomaly the first time it's charging just fine right dead

00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:51.599
center now so like no you can't just like

00:07:48.400 --> 00:07:54.560
throw your phone at your charging pad oh

00:07:51.599 --> 00:07:58.400
i got it okay hold on so you can't just throw your phone at your charging pad

00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:03.919
and expect it to start charging but as long as you take a moment of care and

00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:08.639
put it on the charging pad as soon as you come over the edge here

00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:11.360
it's charging how much is this thing 200 bucks

00:08:10.479 --> 00:08:17.120
us so about 270 canadian

00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:21.199
but i think i can accept that i should probably have my phone on the pad if i

00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:24.639
expect it to be charging so i'm gonna give them a pass on that i'm actually

00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:29.199
pretty pleased with the result i don't like how much space it takes up but as

00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:32.640
long as you have the space it definitely looks and feels

00:08:30.960 --> 00:08:36.640
a lot nicer one thing i think they could have really improved is the quality of

00:08:34.719 --> 00:08:40.320
the charging cable honestly i expect a braided cable you know

00:08:38.959 --> 00:08:46.160
i want to check how much the mophie is now too so this thing is

00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:48.800
110 bucks i think that's a tough sell paying an extra

00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:55.040
90 for the pataka solution you know what i want you guys to give me the verdict

00:08:52.640 --> 00:08:58.480
200 bucks for this 100 and change for this or just don't be lazy plug in all

00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:03.519
your stuff let us know in the comments below and let us know in the comments below if you're going to subscribe to

00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:07.760
the new channel if you like this type of just casual unboxing

00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:10.800
quick look format i'm actually really looking forward to it i had a lot of fun

00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:16.609
doing this guess we'll see you guys over there
