here","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":305.759,"end_s":312.9,"text":"it's okay it's so audio quality wise like it sounds fine but the major","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":310.74,"end_s":315.96,"text":"downside and what's kind of odd it's only out of the bottom speaker so

also","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":345.66,"end_s":350.699,"text":"think it might sound worse than my flip phone which in a thinner body

out","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":356.06,"end_s":362.46,"text":"yeah the Oppo fun and 2 flip sounds way better so it has the earpiece as

unihertz Luna phone which takes what you love most about the nothing phone the transparentness and LEDs and puts it in a budget case but can it surpass the kind of middle of the road performance of the nothing phone and create something spectacular probably not but let's find out the box has a glyphs on it which will be probably the patterns of the LEDs on the back of the phone Loot on the side and some information on the back but I don't want spoilers let's open it up and take a look what's inside just a piece of paper and the Sim popper which we'll take out as we'll need later all right in the paperwork here I can see we already don't need the SIM card because it does not have an SD card slot but it does have a dual physical nano SIM slot so if you travel a lot that's definitely convenient but losing the SD card slot I mean not great especially because of a lot of these budget phones do have that otherwise nothing interesting a lot of spoilers what we're gonna see in here we have the phone itself let's put to the side and see what else is in the Box here for a charger we have a 12 volt it feels very cheap like something you get at 7-Eleven but I guess as long as it charges your phone that's good we also have a charging cable which is an a to c nothing too crazy there all right first impression just picking it up I haven't even looked at it yet this is heavy it feels like a brick which is surprising because again this is uh more budget oriented phone and this is heavier than an iPhone it's heavier than probably a folding phone which is nuts it comes with a case on it which is interesting I don't know what's wrong with the camera bump but it looks a little odd it's a little too low for me maybe I don't know what it is it's small there isn't a huge actual bump but it's because the phone is really thick really thick if you're if it's hard to tell this is a headphone jack and look how much space is around it yeah it's quite thick it's thicker than the nothing phone and the camera bump it looks like a cheaper knockoff it is just so small and it's such a weird spot but hey it it's something it's a design choice and maybe maybe you like it you like the look of the iPhone it looks like a razor like the iPhone does or a kind of a stove top as people call it but just really small for some reason on the front we have the 6.8 inch full HD Plus display they don't say what refresh rate it is we'll see when it turns on but I'm assuming it's 6 because otherwise they would probably be gloating about it on the right side of the phone here we have the fingerprint scanner and volume rocker buttons feel kind of mushy they feel a little close to the the phone as like when you turn it sideways here you can see there's not a whole lot of lift off of the rest of the body so it doesn't feel great it doesn't feel awful though the power button being flush I'm not a huge fan though on the top we have a you always make fun of me but uh I'm Mike hole we've got the Mike hole the antenna lines we have a headphone jack with ample space on either side and we have an IR blaster Great Prank your neighbors with it on the left side of the phone we have two hotkeys so you can set that up to be whatever you want I can see one being camera and the other being maybe your assistant if you like that but I don't know gentian impact quick launch and on the bottom we have the speaker Grille USBC charging and the Dual nano SIM card slot nothing too crazy on the body here we can see there's a bit of a cut out for the front facing camera there again I cannot understand how heavy this is let's actually give it away to see just how heavy it is give it away 300 grams that is heavy and again for what isn't really super spectacular looking like it's a plastic body for sure part of what could be making the phone heavier is its 5000 milliamp hour battery maybe that's part of it let's turn it on see what it has for specs and uh let's also tell you about our sponsor vesi thanks to vesi for sponsoring today's video vessi claims their shoes are 100 waterproof their new storm burst shoes combine the comfort of a sneaker with the grip and coverage of an outdoor boot they said it was impossible vesi has added extra layering for added warmth as well as extra grip to prevent you from slipping and sliding in unfavorable weather conditions the storm bursts are feature packed and will make great gifts with the unpredictable Spring weather coming up check out the vessey storm burst and other styles at vesti.com ShortCircuit and use code ShortCircuit for 15 off your entire order the whole thing oh I forgot to talk about the case uh so yeah it came with this on which was odd not just like in the packaging like some of the previous phones we've looked at and it's that crappy plastic rubbery one that comes with a lot of budget phones this phone is huge and this k will not stand a chance if you drop it but hey free stuff let's take a look at the fingerprint scanner I'm curious to see if it performs well I mean I assume seems like a hard thing to mess up but I have been surprised before this one here is in the power button so very convenient for for most people they enjoy that it is definitely growing on me I've said before that I didn't really like it but again I'm using the Oppo flip right now and it has a built into the power button and yeah it's fine all right let's see how fast it unlocks here that's pretty slow it also has Face Unlock so if you find that too slow or you just want to raise your phone and have a wake up and unlock you can do that but I'm more of a fan of the fingerprint scanner at least it's a little bit more secure sure the fingerprint scanner is slow but that doesn't matter we want to know how crab Rave does so let's pull that up here it's okay it's so audio quality wise like it sounds fine but the major downside and what's kind of odd it's only out of the bottom speaker so it doesn't use the earpiece speaker at all and it is very noticeable and sounds very odd only coming to the bottom of the phone sound quality is okay like it definitely sounds a little muddy and maybe it's because of that lack of Separation but I wouldn't say it's awful the phone doesn't get especially bright I turned it up to Max at brightness and it's not really that impressive I actually went in to turn it up more and realized that it was at the max we don't know the specific amount of knits this screen has and Labs isn't quite ready to be able to test that yet so stay tuned for future videos when we can do that but yeah it's not very good and I also think it might sound worse than my flip phone which in a thinner body shouldn't be the case but let's compare and find out yeah the Oppo fun and 2 flip sounds way better so it has the earpiece as one speaker and then the main chin speaker as the obviously main speaker and the brightness on this one is at half and it's brighter than the unit Hertz Luna at 100 so something to keep in mind and the brightness is a bigger deal because using it outside is gonna be a little bit rough so take it as you will another interesting thing about this phone is that it doesn't use Gorilla Glass it uses Panda mn228 glass to be specific which is just a cheaper alternative to Gorilla Glass so you'll still have some scratch and drop protection something to be aware of is it's not going to be quite as competitive to other phones that use Gorilla Glass like the pocophones or xiaomi phones we've read in the past so satisfying I do think the colors and everything do look good on this though like I don't think there's any major complaints on the actual quality of the screen and even the fact that it's the full HD Plus display it does look good it looks sharp enough I was actually pretty impressed with just how the trees and everything look at the intro for for crab Rave but yeah the brightness is a major bummer speaking of major bummer it's gaming time so I had Labs take a look to see how games perform on this phone it should be good in theory right well not so much so first of all we had to cut there for a second and it loaded for ever it took ages to get into the game and then when Labs actually went to do performance tests they were not impressed let's take a look at the settings because genshin impact will actually tell you what it expects performance to be like when you change the settings around all right so we have it opened uh this started on highest Graphics details and it says it's gonna be overclocked which makes sense let's try lowering it down to high okay medium overclocked is a little bit of a red flag because on the pocophones it was still able to run 60. on medium but let's try low okay lows dangerously close to the overclocked it's balanced but it is probably like 90 full on that bar for performance wise so let's see lowest 50 full that's a smooth play but having to go lowest on a new phone in 2023 for against impact is a little almost embarrassing but you probably should be doing better someone Labs took a look at this they were playing on the highest graphical settings and they said it was getting 13 FPS playing at that is a struggle and I don't think that's something you have to deal with when this can be played on like an iPhone 7. what's even worse this has a one percent low of three FPS so when this game is struggling you're loading a new area or anything like that it's gonna slow to an absolute crawl now I'm playing on lowest settings right now and it looks okay it is not smooth still let me make sure actually let me make sure this is low because this is actually not smooth again at highest or medium do not expect a smooth experience I've been saying what's even worse a lot but what's even worse than that is that this gets dangerously close to Thermal throttling so even though this is a huge body huge lots of space the temperature gets to 45.8 degrees where it has a limit of 47 degrees the CPU and GPU in this got to 61 degrees and it has a thermal throttle limit of 63. again these are not impressive numbers so uh gaming big yikes don't try to go into a Cod mobile tournament with this but maybe the cameras will save this for cameras we do have a 108 megapixel Samsung sensor camera which is your main camera we have a 2 megapixel macro camera which is an omni Vision sensor and then we have a 20 megapixel night vision camera with a Sony sensor so that's pretty interesting not really anything I've ever seen before and I don't know when you would really want to use it but we'll try it out and see what it looks like and for the main camera right out of the box it's shooting at 12 megapixel so it's taking 108 megapixels bending down to 12 like most of these crazy high megapixel count cameras do let's try to take a picture of that 108 megapixel resolution as well though taking a look at the photo right away I'm not super impressed it's kind of grainy uh it is challenging lighting like it's very dark everywhere except for where I'm sitting and the bright lights that are right ahead of me so it is something to consider but most of these cameras get tested in a pretty challenging environment and these aren't super sharp the colors don't look very good and it is fine if you need to send a quick picture of your grocery list to your partner but I wouldn't be like yeah I can't wait to show this let's take a look at the zoom though see if that Zoom photo looks all right you know actually this doesn't look bad for a 10 times digital Zoom obviously it's not going to look super sharp but whatever it is doing it doesn't look too painting like I can see Sven using this as team photo this actually looks quite a bit better even just the contrast from that big main light it's not completely blown out the background still has the darkness it's not super grainy things do look sharp this is more impressive and More in line with what I thought the photo would look like in that 12 megapixel photo just that you'd be able to zoom in farther even Andy far away in the background hidden behind cameras looks good and sharp yeah and the colors look good too on the the red in these numbers the colors look way better all right we're taking a video we're talking uh we're panning around see how the not Optical image stabilization does yeah you can definitely see every bit of wobble that I'm I'm creating but the exposure is you know doing pretty well and it's yeah the video is impressive I've actually found that a lot with these uh more affordable phones the video performance is usually pretty strong the mic is very clear it definitely gets the high tones of my voice instead of the lowness which is good and bad it was very easy to understand what I was saying but I wouldn't say it was true to it I actually sound like so one positive though it doesn't seem like there's any filters built in so you get to be yourself all right let's test out this macro camera we have our subject here and it says the best distance for macro photography is four centimeters here I'm not good at eyeballing distances it would be nice if it told you when you were close enough because like you have to look over the camera to see how far away you are it looks like a 2 megapixel photo the color is pretty inconsistent the dustpad turns pretty yellowy off to the right side that closest stripe is a lot more yellow than the back ones it doesn't feel sharp at any point on the tiger or the desk pad it feels like you've taken a picture of the flip phone from you know the the late odds let's try out the night mode though I'm not gonna pretend to be an infrared whiz I'm not the Camera Host that's David but infrared is used in a lot of security cameras gives you a clear image of what you're looking at in darkness but is black and white so obviously taking a picture while there's big lights on is going to be very bright but maybe we can turn the lights off and see what it looks like wow instant Darkness for my Clap the photo looks alright it's definitely missing a little bit of focus uh but you can see what's going on and that's pretty much what infrared is meant for is you can see what's going on but it's not gonna be the highest quality or anything like that so definitely neat but let's see if I can go over the WAN set where it's a bit darker try taking another photo and the infrared video it does look good so this bright light you're seeing in the top right is actually just the infrared from our security cameras but from here it is almost pitch black where I'm standing it looks pretty darn good you can definitely tell what's going on and obviously when we pan over here where it's more regular lighting you can see it's quite a bit brighter but again a little hard to get that Focus but not too bad the infrared video is obviously a lot more impressive when you're in somewhere a lot darker the footage does look pretty darn good really cool stuff oh it's because it's off to the side weird I don't take a lot of selfies I'm not used to the fact that you know it I'm looking straight ahead but it's off to the bit of an angle another interesting thing is the photos are very cool it's very very white it makes it seem like it's almost blue lighting or that I'm right in front of a window on a cloudy day but the photo is definitely sharp it's a 32 megapixel Samsung sensor so it does make sense that it does have that sharpness but yeah overall not bad the colors look all right sharpness is decent the film grain is tasteful in this kind of contrasty dark background it's nothing amazing but it'll do you a solid and for our video let's see how this sounds I'm gonna do a spin I look pretty Sharp I look pretty sharp which again is not necessarily a bad thing but it's something to be aware of depending on your stylings I am not a fan as somebody who has facial hair and Imperfections unbelievable I know but it just makes them really really noticeable I don't think it's bad again for a quick video call or something like that it's fine but I wouldn't make this like your main vlogging phone or the ticket talk or whatever they call it maybe not she might be like whoa a normal phone unboxing that's not what we're here for and you're right it's for these two unique features about this phone the programmable keys and the glyphs on the back what's interesting is that with the glyphs you can't use them in the camera so the nothing phone will actually let you light up the glyphs to light up the subject while you're taking a picture this one doesn't have the option it's just flash so let's go into settings and see what you can do so in the settings here you can see there's one for LED lights so you can turn it on and off you can change the brightness what ringtone and notification sounds and always on I don't know why you'd want your LEDs always on like it's in your pocket and just on but I guess you could do that if you'd really like so for showing y'all what it looks like let's have it always on I swear it's not just a nasty yellow these are actually full RGB compared to nothing phones just white LEDs so it's pretty interesting to be able to change it this default color looks like it's not on purpose and is gross though so let's change it up okay I it turned off and on by accident I turned it back on it's a different color that's even grosser the color is changing and it's getting worse somehow you won't be able to tell on camera but in person you can count each LED easily through the back it's not diffused enough to give it just that fade through it looks straight up bad it also keeps turning off randomly even though always on is on and when you change your brightness in the settings uh nothing happens that's cool oh it just turned off always on by itself that's really neat and then there's different patterns let's see these are just colors not patterns and again it looks gross on camera and it looks grosser in person I think this is supposed to be a solid color and you can see some LEDs are brighter than others or slightly different Hues than other ones in it it's like purpley blue down here to purpley pink up here and there's just individual dots that are mishmashed colors of the multiple it's trying to show yeah stinky that's what this consensus is behind the camera let's see if it does something cool with notifications it sure doesn't so it actually gives you the option to switch through these different tones but it's not doing anything I'm just gonna try turning off always on no it sure does nothing wow that's so cool oh that one did it also was not in sync with the music oh no oh there you go this sucks it's not in sync at all and it's showing glyphs for all of these but it's not showing up on oh yeah it's not showing up all the time and it's not showing up for all the patterns this one did show it once and now it's oh barely showing it come on man also has an ambient light feature where other LED features will be disabled that's all it tells you there's no other explanation who knows but I have the original here the nothing phone so let's check out what I would say a solid implementation looks like so for D Swan there actually are surprisingly a little less options this one only has one color so you do get the brightness changing but you can't change the pattern necessarily it's all just changing the ringtone and the glyphs are assigned to a certain ringtone so oh there's nothing machines two now there was only 10 sounds they've added 11 more so we're gonna use those because I don't know what they are so you see these are much more Dynamic a little bit more eye-catching and they have the tactics to go along with it so you can really feel the phone vibrating which I enjoy and it actually works first try the nothing phone also lets you use the glyphs as a fill light instead of using flash which like I said earlier you cannot do on the other phone so now when you're taking a picture you'll use this to light up your subject get them looking at your phone because it's so cool and fancy take the picture and move on a battery charging speed for this thing sucks we've been running out of battery consistently through this shoot and it takes ages to charge barely a couple percent for the few minutes we've been trying to charge it between and that's with like a fast charger meant for a much larger device not the apparent 18 watt fast charging that it does which we only found on a different website because there's not a whole lot of specs for this in the main one and there's no wireless charging so you're not gonna be able to put it on your desk and have it be charging while you're doing other things it sucks to not have I'm using the Oppo n it doesn't have wireless charging and it blows can't charge it in my car can't just like have it on my desk sitting there charging when it's this thick it should have wireless charging on the back here it looks like it hasn't I went and tried it on a wireless charging pad and it didn't work so disappointing but back to these hotkeys so to change settings for the programmable Keys we just go into the intelligent assistance menu and then down to shortcut settings I've got to briefly touch on it earlier there are a couple different ones freezer is like hiding different apps I don't know why they call the freezer scan is QR code stuff and the other stuff is pretty self-explanatory Funk one and funk 2. I don't know why they wouldn't just say function they have a lot of space here but hey Funk is cool and then here we have the different options there's a push to talk which is cool you can have it set up to like a walkie-talkie or call ups and push it and immediately contact somebody the programmable key so you can have it be a media key or symbol key that's probably what I would use it for I find that super helpful I'm always listening to music on my phone to be able to reach down push this start playing music double click to skip the song very helpful or you can set it to open up a certain app so let's try screenshot and long press will be flashlight interesting that flashlight's not available for short press only long and then double press we're gonna do well I'm a gamer so we're gonna have an open attention impact that's super handy I had pretty low expectations but I think having those options is great and this phone costs 300 on pre-order or 330 dollars when it's actually launched which is Affordable but there's also a ton of competition at that price for example the Poco X5 Pro we've covered pocophones here before you can watch those videos and those are pretty darn solid at very accessible prices and by the time we're filming this I don't know if it still is the pixel 6A is on sale for 300 that phone rocks that beats this in literally every single way so for 300 should you buy a phone that has a cool feature that nothing phone has but worse I'll let you decide this isn't a review but would I buy it absolutely not as Labs wrote in their notes this is a hard do not buy thank you so much for watching this rage inducing video why not check out our video on the nothing phone it isn't a fantastic phone but it's definitely better than this"}
