1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:07,440
wow the nothing phone sure looks cool it'd be a shame if someone just I don't

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:12,059
know ripped it off completely today we have the unihertz Luna phone which takes

3
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:17,400
what you love most about the nothing phone the transparentness and LEDs and

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,000
puts it in a budget case but can it surpass the kind of middle of the road

5
00:00:19,380 --> 00:00:25,680
performance of the nothing phone and create something spectacular probably

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:28,619
not but let's find out the box has a glyphs on it which will be probably the

7
00:00:27,180 --> 00:00:33,180
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

8
00:00:31,260 --> 00:00:36,600
spoilers let's open it up and take a look what's inside just a piece of paper

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,719
and the Sim popper which we'll take out as we'll need later all right in the

10
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:46,260
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

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,399
have a dual physical nano SIM slot so if

12
00:00:46,260 --> 00:00:51,539
you travel a lot that's definitely convenient but losing the SD card slot I

13
00:00:49,559 --> 00:00:55,739
mean not great especially because of a lot of these budget phones do have that

14
00:00:52,860 --> 00:00:58,860
otherwise nothing interesting a lot of spoilers what we're gonna see in here we

15
00:00:57,300 --> 00:01:03,480
have the phone itself let's put to the side and see what else is in the Box here

16
00:01:01,140 --> 00:01:07,020
for a charger we have a 12 volt it feels very cheap like something you get at

17
00:01:05,220 --> 00:01:11,880
7-Eleven but I guess as long as it charges your phone that's good we also

18
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:15,360
have a charging cable which is an a to c

19
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,280
nothing too crazy there

20
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:22,560
all right first impression just picking it up I haven't even looked at it yet this is heavy it feels like a brick

21
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:26,880
which is surprising because again this is uh more budget oriented phone and

22
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,060
this is heavier than an iPhone it's heavier than probably a folding phone

23
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:33,540
which is nuts it comes with a case on it which is interesting I don't know what's

24
00:01:31,740 --> 00:01:37,860
wrong with the camera bump but it looks a little odd it's a little too low for

25
00:01:35,939 --> 00:01:43,079
me maybe I don't know what it is it's small there isn't a huge actual bump but

26
00:01:40,740 --> 00:01:46,740
it's because the phone is really thick really thick if you're if it's hard to

27
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,979
tell this is a headphone jack and look how much space is around it yeah it's

28
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:54,299
quite thick it's thicker than the nothing phone and the camera bump it

29
00:01:52,140 --> 00:01:59,100
looks like a cheaper knockoff it is just so small and it's such a weird spot but

30
00:01:56,820 --> 00:02:02,759
hey it it's something it's a design choice and maybe maybe you like it you

31
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:06,780
like the look of the iPhone it looks like a razor like the iPhone does or a

32
00:02:05,219 --> 00:02:11,459
kind of a stove top as people call it but just really small for some reason on

33
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:14,580
the front we have the 6.8 inch full HD Plus display they don't say what refresh

34
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:18,540
rate it is we'll see when it turns on but I'm assuming it's 6 because otherwise they would probably be

35
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:22,440
gloating about it on the right side of the phone here we have the fingerprint

36
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:26,520
scanner and volume rocker buttons feel kind of mushy they feel a little close

37
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,640
to the the phone as like when you turn it sideways here you can see there's not

38
00:02:27,780 --> 00:02:33,120
a whole lot of lift off of the rest of the body so it doesn't feel great it

39
00:02:31,980 --> 00:02:37,200
doesn't feel awful though the power button being flush I'm not a huge fan

40
00:02:35,099 --> 00:02:40,560
though on the top we have a you always make fun of me but uh I'm Mike hole

41
00:02:39,060 --> 00:02:44,580
we've got the Mike hole the antenna lines we have a headphone jack with

42
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:48,300
ample space on either side and we have an IR blaster Great Prank your neighbors

43
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:51,300
with it on the left side of the phone we have two hotkeys so you can set that up

44
00:02:49,980 --> 00:02:55,140
to be whatever you want I can see one being camera and the other being maybe

45
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:58,680
your assistant if you like that but I don't know gentian impact quick launch

46
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:04,080
and on the bottom we have the speaker Grille USBC charging and the Dual nano

47
00:03:01,980 --> 00:03:07,319
SIM card slot nothing too crazy on the body here we can see there's a bit of a

48
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:10,379
cut out for the front facing camera there again I cannot understand how

49
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,659
heavy this is let's actually give it away to see just how heavy it is

50
00:03:13,260 --> 00:03:20,519
give it away 300 grams that is heavy and again for

51
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:24,120
what isn't really super spectacular looking like it's a plastic body for

52
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,420
sure part of what could be making the phone heavier is its 5000 milliamp hour

53
00:03:25,860 --> 00:03:30,959
battery maybe that's part of it let's turn it on see what it has for specs and

54
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,800
uh let's also tell you about our sponsor vesi thanks to vesi for sponsoring

55
00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:38,700
today's video vessi claims their shoes are 100 waterproof their new storm burst

56
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:42,599
shoes combine the comfort of a sneaker with the grip and coverage of an outdoor

57
00:03:40,860 --> 00:03:45,780
boot they said it was impossible vesi has added extra layering for added

58
00:03:43,980 --> 00:03:48,959
warmth as well as extra grip to prevent you from slipping and sliding in

59
00:03:47,220 --> 00:03:51,900
unfavorable weather conditions the storm bursts are feature packed and will make

60
00:03:50,580 --> 00:03:55,200
great gifts with the unpredictable Spring weather coming up check out the

61
00:03:53,580 --> 00:03:59,700
vessey storm burst and other styles at vesti.com ShortCircuit and use code

62
00:03:57,299 --> 00:04:03,780
ShortCircuit for 15 off your entire order the whole thing oh I forgot to

63
00:04:02,099 --> 00:04:06,840
talk about the case uh so yeah it came with this on which was odd not just like

64
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:13,200
in the packaging like some of the previous phones we've looked at and it's that crappy plastic rubbery one that

65
00:04:11,459 --> 00:04:17,880
comes with a lot of budget phones this phone is huge and this k will not stand

66
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:21,120
a chance if you drop it but hey free stuff let's take a look at the

67
00:04:19,620 --> 00:04:24,240
fingerprint scanner I'm curious to see if it performs well I mean I assume

68
00:04:22,740 --> 00:04:28,800
seems like a hard thing to mess up but I have been surprised before this one here is in the power button so very

69
00:04:27,419 --> 00:04:33,720
convenient for for most people they enjoy that it is definitely growing on me I've said before that I didn't really

70
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:37,199
like it but again I'm using the Oppo flip right now and it has a built into

71
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:41,240
the power button and yeah it's fine all right let's see how fast it unlocks here

72
00:04:41,340 --> 00:04:45,840
that's pretty slow it also has Face Unlock so if you find that too slow or

73
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:50,639
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

74
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:56,040
fingerprint scanner at least it's a little bit more secure sure the fingerprint scanner is slow but that

75
00:04:54,180 --> 00:04:59,960
doesn't matter we want to know how crab Rave does so let's pull that up here

76
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:12,900
it's okay it's so audio quality wise like it sounds fine but the major

77
00:05:10,740 --> 00:05:15,960
downside and what's kind of odd it's only out of the bottom speaker so it

78
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:20,160
doesn't use the earpiece speaker at all and it is very noticeable and sounds

79
00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:24,300
very odd only coming to the bottom of the phone sound quality is okay like it

80
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:29,340
definitely sounds a little muddy and maybe it's because of that lack of Separation but I wouldn't say it's awful

81
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:33,300
the phone doesn't get especially bright I turned it up to Max at brightness and

82
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,419
it's not really that impressive I actually went in to turn it up more and

83
00:05:34,860 --> 00:05:39,960
realized that it was at the max we don't know the specific amount of knits this

84
00:05:38,220 --> 00:05:43,139
screen has and Labs isn't quite ready to be able to test that yet so stay tuned

85
00:05:41,699 --> 00:05:46,860
for future videos when we can do that but yeah it's not very good and I also

86
00:05:45,660 --> 00:05:50,699
think it might sound worse than my flip phone which in a thinner body shouldn't

87
00:05:49,020 --> 00:05:52,940
be the case but let's compare and find out

88
00:05:56,060 --> 00:06:02,460
yeah the Oppo fun and 2 flip sounds way better so it has the earpiece as one

89
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:07,320
speaker and then the main chin speaker as the obviously main speaker and the

90
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:11,820
brightness on this one is at half and it's brighter than the unit Hertz Luna

91
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:14,820
at 100 so something to keep in mind and the brightness is a bigger deal because

92
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:19,080
using it outside is gonna be a little bit rough so

93
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:25,199
take it as you will another interesting thing about this phone is that it doesn't use Gorilla Glass it uses Panda

94
00:06:21,919 --> 00:06:26,940
mn228 glass to be specific which is just

95
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:29,880
a cheaper alternative to Gorilla Glass so you'll still have some scratch and

96
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:34,979
drop protection something to be aware of is it's not going to be quite as competitive to other phones that use

97
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:38,120
Gorilla Glass like the pocophones or xiaomi phones we've read in the past

98
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,259
so satisfying I do think the colors and everything do look good on this though

99
00:06:41,819 --> 00:06:46,740
like I don't think there's any major complaints on the actual quality of the

100
00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:50,759
screen and even the fact that it's the full HD Plus display it does look good

101
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:55,380
it looks sharp enough I was actually pretty impressed with just how the trees and everything look at the intro for for

102
00:06:53,460 --> 00:07:00,600
crab Rave but yeah the brightness is a major bummer speaking of major bummer

103
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:06,800
it's gaming time so I had Labs take a look to see how games perform on this

104
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:10,620
phone it should be good in theory right

105
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:12,419
well not so much so first of all we had

106
00:07:10,620 --> 00:07:16,620
to cut there for a second and it loaded for ever it took ages to get into the

107
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:20,520
game and then when Labs actually went to do performance tests they were not

108
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:23,940
impressed let's take a look at the settings because genshin impact will actually tell you what it expects

109
00:07:22,740 --> 00:07:29,220
performance to be like when you change the settings around all right so we have it opened uh this started on highest

110
00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:33,120
Graphics details and it says it's gonna be overclocked which makes sense let's

111
00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:36,660
try lowering it down to high okay medium overclocked is a little bit of a red

112
00:07:34,740 --> 00:07:42,780
flag because on the pocophones it was still able to run 60. on medium but

113
00:07:39,539 --> 00:07:44,819
let's try low okay lows

114
00:07:42,780 --> 00:07:49,979
dangerously close to the overclocked it's balanced but it is probably like 90

115
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:56,160
full on that bar for performance wise so let's see lowest 50 full that's a smooth

116
00:07:52,919 --> 00:07:59,400
play but having to go lowest on a new

117
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:01,560
phone in 2023 for against impact is a

118
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,080
little almost embarrassing but you probably should be doing better someone

119
00:08:02,940 --> 00:08:11,520
Labs took a look at this they were playing on the highest graphical settings and they said it was getting 13

120
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:12,360
FPS playing at that is a struggle and I

121
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:18,539
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

122
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,940
has a one percent low of three FPS so when this game is struggling you're

123
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:26,160
loading a new area or anything like that it's gonna slow to an absolute crawl now

124
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:31,259
I'm playing on lowest settings right now and it looks okay it is not smooth still

125
00:08:29,819 --> 00:08:38,039
let me make sure actually let me make sure this is low because this is actually not smooth

126
00:08:35,099 --> 00:08:41,820
again at highest or medium do not expect a smooth experience I've been saying

127
00:08:39,839 --> 00:08:46,740
what's even worse a lot but what's even worse than that is that this gets

128
00:08:44,339 --> 00:08:53,300
dangerously close to Thermal throttling so even though this is a huge body huge

129
00:08:50,820 --> 00:08:59,160
lots of space the temperature gets to 45.8 degrees where it has a limit of 47

130
00:08:56,700 --> 00:09:05,100
degrees the CPU and GPU in this got to 61 degrees and it has a thermal throttle

131
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:08,580
limit of 63. again these are not

132
00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:10,620
impressive numbers so uh gaming big

133
00:09:08,580 --> 00:09:14,880
yikes don't try to go into a Cod mobile tournament with this but maybe the

134
00:09:12,959 --> 00:09:20,100
cameras will save this for cameras we do have a 108 megapixel Samsung sensor

135
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:25,260
camera which is your main camera we have a 2 megapixel macro camera which is an

136
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:29,820
omni Vision sensor and then we have a 20 megapixel night vision camera with a

137
00:09:28,260 --> 00:09:34,440
Sony sensor so that's pretty interesting not really anything I've ever seen before and I don't know when you would

138
00:09:33,060 --> 00:09:37,980
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

139
00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:42,180
it's shooting at 12 megapixel so it's taking 108 megapixels bending down to 12

140
00:09:40,019 --> 00:09:45,839
like most of these crazy high megapixel count cameras do let's try to take a

141
00:09:44,279 --> 00:09:49,560
picture of that 108 megapixel resolution as well though taking a look at the

142
00:09:47,459 --> 00:09:54,240
photo right away I'm not super impressed it's kind of grainy uh it is challenging

143
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:57,240
lighting like it's very dark everywhere except for where I'm sitting and the

144
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,720
bright lights that are right ahead of me so it is something to consider but most

145
00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:04,320
of these cameras get tested in a pretty challenging environment and these aren't

146
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:09,779
super sharp the colors don't look very good and it is fine if you need to send

147
00:10:07,620 --> 00:10:13,560
a quick picture of your grocery list to your partner but I wouldn't be like yeah

148
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,560
I can't wait to show this let's take a look at the zoom though see if that Zoom

149
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:22,260
photo looks all right you know actually this doesn't look bad for a 10 times digital Zoom obviously it's not going to

150
00:10:20,100 --> 00:10:26,279
look super sharp but whatever it is doing it doesn't look too painting like

151
00:10:24,060 --> 00:10:29,640
I can see Sven using this as team photo this actually looks quite a bit better

152
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:33,600
even just the contrast from that big main light it's not completely blown out

153
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:38,100
the background still has the darkness it's not super grainy things do look

154
00:10:36,060 --> 00:10:41,339
sharp this is more impressive and More in line with what I thought the photo

155
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:44,100
would look like in that 12 megapixel photo just that you'd be able to zoom in

156
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,339
farther even Andy far away in the background hidden behind cameras looks

157
00:10:45,660 --> 00:10:50,339
good and sharp yeah and the colors look good too on the the red in these numbers

158
00:10:48,839 --> 00:10:55,140
the colors look way better all right we're taking a video we're talking uh

159
00:10:52,380 --> 00:10:58,440
we're panning around see how the not Optical image stabilization does yeah

160
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:02,820
you can definitely see every bit of wobble that I'm I'm creating but the

161
00:11:01,260 --> 00:11:06,300
exposure is you know doing pretty well and it's

162
00:11:04,279 --> 00:11:09,600
yeah the video is impressive I've actually found that a lot with these uh

163
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:13,860
more affordable phones the video performance is usually pretty strong the

164
00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:17,880
mic is very clear it definitely gets the high tones of my voice instead of the

165
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,040
lowness which is good and bad it was very easy to understand what I was

166
00:11:18,839 --> 00:11:22,920
saying but I wouldn't say it was true to it I actually sound like so one positive

167
00:11:21,959 --> 00:11:28,560
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

168
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:32,519
macro camera we have our subject here and it says the best distance for macro

169
00:11:30,420 --> 00:11:36,079
photography is four centimeters here I'm not good at eyeballing

170
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,660
distances it would be nice if it told you when you

171
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:47,579
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

172
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:50,100
photo the color is pretty inconsistent

173
00:11:47,579 --> 00:11:54,060
the dustpad turns pretty yellowy off to the right side that closest stripe is a

174
00:11:51,959 --> 00:11:59,040
lot more yellow than the back ones it doesn't feel sharp at any point on the

175
00:11:56,519 --> 00:12:03,000
tiger or the desk pad it feels like you've taken a picture of the flip phone

176
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:06,240
from you know the the late odds let's try out the night mode though I'm not

177
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:10,019
gonna pretend to be an infrared whiz I'm not the Camera Host that's David but

178
00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:13,440
infrared is used in a lot of security cameras gives you a clear image of what

179
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:16,980
you're looking at in darkness but is black and white so obviously taking a

180
00:12:15,300 --> 00:12:20,040
picture while there's big lights on is going to be very bright but maybe we can

181
00:12:18,779 --> 00:12:25,260
turn the lights off and see what it looks like wow instant Darkness for my Clap the

182
00:12:24,060 --> 00:12:29,160
photo looks alright it's definitely missing a little bit of focus uh but you

183
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,740
can see what's going on and that's pretty much what infrared is meant for

184
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:35,760
is you can see what's going on but it's not gonna be the highest quality or anything like that so definitely neat

185
00:12:34,380 --> 00:12:39,959
but let's see if I can go over the WAN set where it's a bit darker try taking

186
00:12:37,380 --> 00:12:42,899
another photo and the infrared video it does look good so this bright light

187
00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:47,820
you're seeing in the top right is actually just the infrared from our

188
00:12:44,700 --> 00:12:50,279
security cameras but from here it is

189
00:12:47,820 --> 00:12:52,860
almost pitch black where I'm standing it looks pretty darn good you can

190
00:12:51,779 --> 00:12:57,720
definitely tell what's going on and obviously when we pan over here where it's more regular lighting you can see

191
00:12:55,500 --> 00:13:01,139
it's quite a bit brighter but again a little

192
00:12:58,620 --> 00:13:03,660
hard to get that Focus but not too bad the infrared video is obviously a lot

193
00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:08,639
more impressive when you're in somewhere a lot darker the footage does look pretty darn good really cool stuff

194
00:13:07,260 --> 00:13:14,579
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

195
00:13:11,940 --> 00:13:17,760
I'm looking straight ahead but it's off to the bit of an angle another

196
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:22,380
interesting thing is the photos are very cool it's very very white it makes it

197
00:13:20,339 --> 00:13:26,459
seem like it's almost blue lighting or that I'm right in front of a window on a

198
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:30,000
cloudy day but the photo is definitely sharp it's a 32 megapixel Samsung sensor

199
00:13:28,740 --> 00:13:33,600
so it does make sense that it does have that sharpness but yeah overall not bad

200
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:37,980
the colors look all right sharpness is decent

201
00:13:35,339 --> 00:13:42,959
the film grain is tasteful in this kind of contrasty dark background it's

202
00:13:40,139 --> 00:13:47,040
nothing amazing but it'll do you a solid and for our video let's see how this

203
00:13:44,519 --> 00:13:50,100
sounds I'm gonna do a spin I look pretty Sharp

204
00:13:48,060 --> 00:13:52,620
I look pretty sharp which again is not necessarily a bad thing but it's

205
00:13:51,060 --> 00:13:57,899
something to be aware of depending on your stylings I am not a fan as somebody

206
00:13:54,660 --> 00:14:00,240
who has facial hair and Imperfections

207
00:13:57,899 --> 00:14:03,420
unbelievable I know but it just makes them really really noticeable I don't

208
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:07,980
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

209
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:12,120
vlogging phone or the ticket talk or whatever they call it

210
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:15,839
maybe not she might be like whoa a normal phone unboxing that's not what

211
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:20,100
we're here for and you're right it's for these two unique features about this

212
00:14:17,459 --> 00:14:23,459
phone the programmable keys and the glyphs on the back what's interesting is

213
00:14:21,959 --> 00:14:28,260
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

214
00:14:26,519 --> 00:14:33,120
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

215
00:14:30,959 --> 00:14:37,260
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

216
00:14:36,180 --> 00:14:41,160
and off you can change the brightness what ringtone and notification sounds

217
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:45,720
and always on I don't know why you'd want your LEDs always on like it's in

218
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:48,899
your pocket and just on but I guess you could do that if you'd really like so

219
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:53,279
for showing y'all what it looks like let's have it always on I swear it's not

220
00:14:51,420 --> 00:14:57,420
just a nasty yellow these are actually full RGB compared to nothing phones just

221
00:14:55,620 --> 00:15:01,139
white LEDs so it's pretty interesting to be able to change it this default color

222
00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:04,860
looks like it's not on purpose and is gross though so let's change it up okay

223
00:15:02,699 --> 00:15:08,279
I it turned off and on by accident I turned it back on it's a different color

224
00:15:05,940 --> 00:15:12,300
that's even grosser the color is changing and it's getting worse somehow

225
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:16,980
you won't be able to tell on camera but in person you can count each LED easily

226
00:15:15,420 --> 00:15:20,760
through the back it's not diffused enough to give it just that fade through

227
00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:23,639
it looks straight up bad it also keeps turning off randomly even though always

228
00:15:22,199 --> 00:15:27,180
on is on and when you change your brightness in the settings uh nothing

229
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:30,540
happens that's cool oh it just turned off always on by itself that's really

230
00:15:28,860 --> 00:15:36,120
neat and then there's different patterns let's see these are just colors not

231
00:15:33,779 --> 00:15:39,180
patterns and again it looks gross on camera and it looks grosser in person I

232
00:15:37,860 --> 00:15:44,160
think this is supposed to be a solid color and you can see some LEDs are

233
00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:48,180
brighter than others or slightly different Hues than other ones in it

234
00:15:45,899 --> 00:15:52,500
it's like purpley blue down here to purpley pink up here and there's just

235
00:15:50,220 --> 00:15:57,120
individual dots that are mishmashed colors of the multiple it's trying to

236
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:59,820
show yeah stinky that's what this consensus is behind the camera let's see

237
00:15:58,860 --> 00:16:05,040
if it does something cool with notifications it sure doesn't so it actually gives you

238
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,579
the option to switch through these different tones but it's not

239
00:16:07,199 --> 00:16:13,019
doing anything I'm just gonna try turning off always on

240
00:16:10,500 --> 00:16:16,699
no it sure does nothing wow that's so cool

241
00:16:13,980 --> 00:16:22,620
oh that one did it also was not in sync with the music

242
00:16:19,579 --> 00:16:25,860
oh no

243
00:16:22,620 --> 00:16:28,980
oh there you go this sucks it's not in

244
00:16:25,860 --> 00:16:31,079
sync at all and it's showing glyphs for

245
00:16:28,980 --> 00:16:34,680
all of these but it's not showing up on oh yeah it's not showing up all the time

246
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:39,839
and it's not showing up for all the patterns this one did show it once and

247
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:42,420
now it's oh barely showing it come on

248
00:16:39,839 --> 00:16:45,959
man also has an ambient light feature where other LED features will be

249
00:16:43,860 --> 00:16:50,519
disabled that's all it tells you there's no other explanation who knows but I

250
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:54,959
have the original here the nothing phone so let's check out what I would say a

251
00:16:52,380 --> 00:16:58,620
solid implementation looks like so for D Swan there actually are surprisingly a

252
00:16:56,820 --> 00:17:01,920
little less options this one only has one color so you do get the brightness

253
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:05,459
changing but you can't change the pattern necessarily it's all just

254
00:17:03,660 --> 00:17:09,240
changing the ringtone and the glyphs are assigned to a certain ringtone so oh

255
00:17:07,380 --> 00:17:12,959
there's nothing machines two now there was only 10 sounds they've added 11 more

256
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:16,140
so we're gonna use those because I don't know what they are so you see these are

257
00:17:14,339 --> 00:17:19,559
much more Dynamic a little bit more eye-catching and they have the tactics

258
00:17:18,299 --> 00:17:25,260
to go along with it so you can really feel the phone vibrating which I enjoy and it actually works first try the

259
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:28,980
nothing phone also lets you use the glyphs as a fill light instead of using

260
00:17:27,299 --> 00:17:32,940
flash which like I said earlier you cannot do on the other phone so now when

261
00:17:31,559 --> 00:17:37,320
you're taking a picture you'll use this to light up your subject get them looking at your phone because it's so

262
00:17:35,580 --> 00:17:41,039
cool and fancy take the picture and move on a battery charging speed for this

263
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:46,020
thing sucks we've been running out of battery consistently through this shoot

264
00:17:42,620 --> 00:17:47,280
and it takes ages to charge barely a

265
00:17:46,020 --> 00:17:51,900
couple percent for the few minutes we've been trying to charge it between and that's with like a fast charger meant

266
00:17:50,580 --> 00:17:55,260
for a much larger device not the apparent 18 watt fast charging that it

267
00:17:53,940 --> 00:17:59,580
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

268
00:17:58,020 --> 00:18:04,380
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

269
00:18:01,980 --> 00:18:08,940
doing other things it sucks to not have I'm using the Oppo n it doesn't have

270
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,940
wireless charging and it blows can't charge it in my car can't just like have

271
00:18:10,679 --> 00:18:16,500
it on my desk sitting there charging when it's this thick it should have

272
00:18:14,580 --> 00:18:20,220
wireless charging on the back here it looks like it hasn't I went and tried it

273
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:26,039
on a wireless charging pad and it didn't work so disappointing but back to these

274
00:18:23,940 --> 00:18:29,820
hotkeys so to change settings for the programmable Keys we just go into the

275
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:33,000
intelligent assistance menu and then down to shortcut settings I've got to

276
00:18:31,679 --> 00:18:35,940
briefly touch on it earlier there are a couple different ones freezer is like

277
00:18:34,679 --> 00:18:39,860
hiding different apps I don't know why they call the freezer scan is QR code

278
00:18:37,679 --> 00:18:43,740
stuff and the other stuff is pretty self-explanatory Funk one and funk 2. I

279
00:18:42,900 --> 00:18:48,360
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

280
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:53,039
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

281
00:18:51,660 --> 00:18:57,600
call ups and push it and immediately contact somebody the programmable key so

282
00:18:55,620 --> 00:19:00,720
you can have it be a media key or symbol key that's probably what I would use it

283
00:18:58,980 --> 00:19:04,020
for I find that super helpful I'm always listening to music on my phone to be

284
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:07,679
able to reach down push this start playing music double click to skip the

285
00:19:05,820 --> 00:19:13,700
song very helpful or you can set it to open up a certain app so let's try

286
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:16,260
screenshot and long press will be

287
00:19:13,700 --> 00:19:20,460
flashlight interesting that flashlight's not available for short press only long

288
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:24,299
and then double press we're gonna do well I'm a gamer so we're gonna have an

289
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:28,260
open attention impact that's super handy I had pretty low expectations but I

290
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:32,640
think having those options is great and this phone costs 300 on pre-order or 330

291
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:38,039
dollars when it's actually launched which is Affordable but there's also a

292
00:19:36,059 --> 00:19:41,760
ton of competition at that price for example the Poco X5 Pro we've covered

293
00:19:40,380 --> 00:19:46,799
pocophones here before you can watch those videos and those are pretty darn

294
00:19:43,980 --> 00:19:50,280
solid at very accessible prices and by the time we're filming this I don't know

295
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:57,539
if it still is the pixel 6A is on sale for 300 that phone rocks that beats this

296
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:59,760
in literally every single way so for 300

297
00:19:57,539 --> 00:20:04,020
should you buy a phone that has a cool feature that nothing phone has but worse

298
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:09,720
I'll let you decide this isn't a review but would I buy it absolutely not as

299
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:14,520
Labs wrote in their notes this is a hard do not buy thank you so much for

300
00:20:11,940 --> 00:20:19,260
watching this rage inducing video why not check out our video on the nothing

301
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:22,580
phone it isn't a fantastic phone but

302
00:20:19,260 --> 00:20:22,580
it's definitely better than this
