1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,839
can you even see it brandon um on camera

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:09,599
sort of like is it like a little square i keep wanting to say fingerprint sensor

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:17,119
but it's not it's a selfie camera an under screen selfie camera this

4
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:20,240
is the zte axon 25g and

5
00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:22,080
i don't know what's craziest about this

6
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:28,480
thing the fact that it has an under screen selfie camera so there's

7
00:00:25,119 --> 00:00:31,679
no pop up no notch no hole punch

8
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,040
nothing an under screen an in-display

9
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:37,040
selfie camera or the fact that it's like a mid-range

10
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:40,079
priced phone at 450 us dollars so let's wait for it

11
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:46,000
to fire oh that's interesting i can already

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:49,360
totally see it brandon look at this there it is right there it actually

13
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:56,879
looks like a notch or uh or a hole punch

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:01:00,000
but they say the display goes over

15
00:00:56,879 --> 00:01:03,600
top of it what else is in this box hey

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,439
my wish is granted oh look at that

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:12,320
thank you credit to zte at least they still include a headphone adapter

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,799
nice apple couldn't it was too hard

19
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:17,360
got a type a to type c and then probably a walmart

20
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,799
yeah that's really hard apple wasn't able to do that either not a north

21
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:24,560
american one but hey good effort is that sick or what oh it's a wave yeah

22
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:31,200
that looks really good i've seen honor do some really cool stuff like this but

23
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:35,280
that looks like it doesn't look tacky you know

24
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:39,360
it does it looks really cool i wonder it's a little bit different on each film

25
00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:42,399
you know what else is cool this segue to our sponsor

26
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:45,840

32
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:10,080
85 off dr phone at the link in the video description thank you

33
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,879
dr phone or wondershare rather for sponsoring today's video

34
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,520
there's kind of like a like a shadow

35
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:20,640
there it's a little kind of square and then it's almost like a

36
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:25,599
like a dotted line square underneath it can you even see it brandon

37
00:02:22,239 --> 00:02:26,560
um on camera sort of like is it like a

38
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:29,840
little square it's a tiny little square yeah i can can

39
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:36,000
you make it out kind of see it okay oh yeah there you go

40
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:39,120
got it oh yeah yeah yeah okay

41
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,760
but wait hold on so let's fire up some

42
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:45,840
excellent high quality tech videos on youtube

43
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,160
mono speaker i mean those are the kinds of compromises that you make when you're

44
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:57,920
going with a mid-range device yes okay i see it

45
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,519
oh interesting they did a ton of work on

46
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:02,640
the materials of the display in order to enable the selfie camera to

47
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,560
work with a display over top of it so they've

48
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:12,959
got the cover glass polarizer packing glass all that's pretty normal then there's a

49
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,120
transparent cathode special OLED material

50
00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:18,080
a transparent matrix and then the baseboard glass underneath it so that's

51
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,920
those three ones that are in between what would already be clear

52
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,920
that's designed for additional transparency now if you guys

53
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:29,280
saw our Linus tech tips video checking out the transparent OLED tv

54
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:32,680
from lg you'll know that transparent is more

55
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,000
like translucent i think that transparent tv

56
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:41,760
allows 30 of the light through somewhere in the 30 to 40 range

57
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:46,080
in order to build this they had to work on a special pixel matrix

58
00:03:44,239 --> 00:03:49,440
so i think what we're seeing right now when we zoom this content

59
00:03:47,519 --> 00:03:53,280
and you can see it right brandon so it looks kind of like

60
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:58,400
low res in that spot it's like faded a little bit like yeah

61
00:03:55,439 --> 00:04:02,959
yeah when i get up close to it it's very obvious

62
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:04,879
because it's just the colors kind of off

63
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:08,400
and there's like the screen door effect i can see right through it

64
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:14,400
but from this distance if i'm actually looking at the center of the screen

65
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:16,720
it's there i can see it but boy is that

66
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,759
ever less noticeable than a notch or something like that in the middle of my

67
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,360
freaking content it's obvious why apple hasn't shipped it

68
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:28,639
yet it's not it's not apple good yet but it's like

69
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:33,520
it's usable this one's got eight gigs of RAM and 128 gigs of storage it's got a

70
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,479
64 megapixel main shooter actually i don't know how many megapixels the

71
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,840
selfie cam is but i doubt how many megapixels it is is going to be

72
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:45,040
the main uh bottleneck there it's got a quadruple

73
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:49,759
camera set up which is pretty cool i guess you got that optical

74
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:54,080
zoom ability and all that good stuff uh usb type-c i don't know if it's got

75
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,600
dual sim so we'll go ahead and pop this out and have a look oh micro sd

76
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,360
nice you can go dual sim or micro sd plus a

77
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:06,400
sim thank you very much zte for giving a crap about people who like to expand the

78
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:11,039
storage in their phones it's so funny how some of these features

79
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:14,240
end up becoming mid-range features because well rich people would just buy

80
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:19,039
a phone with more storage in it wouldn't they playing around with brightness the lower

81
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:22,639
the brightness level the less noticeable it is

82
00:05:20,479 --> 00:05:26,400
and interestingly the screen doesn't get crazy bright which is something that i

83
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:29,520
might expect from a more value-oriented phone so it doesn't have wireless

84
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:36,240
charging although it does support 30 watt fast charging and it's running a snapdragon 765 g

85
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:40,400
chipset so that's one of the ways that they were able to get 5g connectivity

86
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:44,479
into this thing at a reasonable price because with the premium chipset these

87
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,280
days at least until the 888 launches which i think is happening really soon

88
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,600
it might even have happened by the time this video goes live but for now 765g is the way to go of

89
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:56,880
course whether or not you can see content over top of the camera

90
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:00,240
is only half of the equation we've got to fire up the camera

91
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:04,000
and see if the camera can see your face through the content

92
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:08,319
this is it this is going to be my first look at myself

93
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:13,680
through a display it's awful it's like there's a big hazy smudgy film

94
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:16,560
wow that is

95
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:20,800
oh man that is something so you can see the display is completely powered down

96
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:24,319
in the area above the camera so that's going to help

97
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,880
with light transmission but just like we learned when we looked at lg's

98
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:32,000
transparent OLED tv they're still elements of the

99
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:35,680
display like even just the wiring that has to be done to every

100
00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:40,560
pixel that you can't make clear or like not

101
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:44,319
completely clear at least not right now so lowering the pixel density helps

102
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,720
that's why those oleds are 1080p right now at what are

103
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:52,560
they 55 inch i think 55 inch 1080p there is a hit to image

104
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:58,080
quality there's more than just a camera built in here though so there's an ambient light

105
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:01,680
sensor under display sound i don't even know

106
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:06,000
what that means i mean it only had mono sound when i played back something in youtube anyway so if

107
00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:10,479
it if it does have a stereo effect it's not very good under display fingerprint and under

108
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:14,160
display fingerprint well that okay that we've seen before and those

109
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:18,000
under display fingerprint sensors were very obvious kind of like this at first

110
00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:23,440
like you could really see them now you can't see them at all and

111
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:26,240
it's only been a couple short years if this is if this is sort of the beginning

112
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:31,360
of where we're going with this technology i've got high hopes that we could bid

113
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,639
notch's idea sooner rather than later play around

114
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:39,680
with the rear camera a little bit actually i kind of missed that whole uh

115
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,319
just putting a second OLED display on the back and just using your main camera

116
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,919
for selfies concept if someone like samsung had done

117
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:52,160
that i think it would have been very interesting zte still has some work to do on their

118
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:55,440
processing but um this is not

119
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:58,319
bad dtsx ultra 3d sound

120
00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:02,160
apparently now hold on just a second here because i didn't even

121
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:06,800
pick up stereo in the youtube app for absolute maximum speeds

122
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:08,879
yeah okay that's definitely a

123
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:14,240
bottom firing speaker we fired up the chinese website and apparently

124
00:08:10,879 --> 00:08:15,599
it's the wide angle the 64 megapixel

125
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:19,039
main shooter the uh there's a two megapixel depth

126
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,400
sensor and then a macro lens so that's what the four

127
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:29,440
different lenses are here does it have image stabilization on the

128
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:34,880
pedals uh yes pretty well spec for a 450

129
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,880
device hey it's the blurry sulfonator

130
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:42,519
okay i mean

131
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:44,560
hey some people go and apply a

132
00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:50,160
blurrification beauty filter to all their pictures anyway brandon

133
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:52,080
so am i not beautiful do you not think

134
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:57,440
i'm beautiful brandon with this blurred face look at how all

135
00:08:54,959 --> 00:09:01,760
my imperfections have been smoothed out just like my imperfect end to this video

136
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:05,519
subscribe to ShortCircuit and uh all our other channels actually

137
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:12,560
that's a lot that's a big that's a big burden how about just ShortCircuit and tech rent okay deal deal and tech

138
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,560
wiki
