can you even see it brandon um on camera
sort of like is it like a little square i keep wanting to say fingerprint sensor
but it's not it's a selfie camera an under screen selfie camera this
is the zte axon 25g and
i don't know what's craziest about this
thing the fact that it has an under screen selfie camera so there's
no pop up no notch no hole punch
nothing an under screen an in-display
selfie camera or the fact that it's like a mid-range
priced phone at 450 us dollars so let's wait for it
to fire oh that's interesting i can already
totally see it brandon look at this there it is right there it actually
looks like a notch or uh or a hole punch
but they say the display goes over
top of it what else is in this box hey
my wish is granted oh look at that
thank you credit to zte at least they still include a headphone adapter
nice apple couldn't it was too hard
got a type a to type c and then probably a walmart
yeah that's really hard apple wasn't able to do that either not a north
american one but hey good effort is that sick or what oh it's a wave yeah
that looks really good i've seen honor do some really cool stuff like this but
that looks like it doesn't look tacky you know
it does it looks really cool i wonder it's a little bit different on each film
you know what else is cool this segue to our sponsor
wondershare their doctor phone software provides a seamless way to transfer
whatsapp chats between iOS and Android devices you can backup whatsapp business line
viber kick and wechat it's pretty sweet and
preview and check any item you want and export it to your computer as an html file for reading or

leak any data on your device or in the backup file you can get up to
85 off dr phone at the link in the video description thank you
dr phone or wondershare rather for sponsoring today's video
there's kind of like a like a shadow
there it's a little kind of square and then it's almost like a
like a dotted line square underneath it can you even see it brandon
um on camera sort of like is it like a
little square it's a tiny little square yeah i can can
you make it out kind of see it okay oh yeah there you go
got it oh yeah yeah yeah okay
but wait hold on so let's fire up some
excellent high quality tech videos on youtube
mono speaker i mean those are the kinds of compromises that you make when you're
going with a mid-range device yes okay i see it
oh interesting they did a ton of work on
the materials of the display in order to enable the selfie camera to
work with a display over top of it so they've
got the cover glass polarizer packing glass all that's pretty normal then there's a
transparent cathode special OLED material
a transparent matrix and then the baseboard glass underneath it so that's
those three ones that are in between what would already be clear
that's designed for additional transparency now if you guys
saw our Linus tech tips video checking out the transparent OLED tv
from lg you'll know that transparent is more
like translucent i think that transparent tv
allows 30 of the light through somewhere in the 30 to 40 range
in order to build this they had to work on a special pixel matrix
so i think what we're seeing right now when we zoom this content
and you can see it right brandon so it looks kind of like
low res in that spot it's like faded a little bit like yeah
yeah when i get up close to it it's very obvious
because it's just the colors kind of off
and there's like the screen door effect i can see right through it
but from this distance if i'm actually looking at the center of the screen
it's there i can see it but boy is that
ever less noticeable than a notch or something like that in the middle of my
freaking content it's obvious why apple hasn't shipped it
yet it's not it's not apple good yet but it's like
it's usable this one's got eight gigs of RAM and 128 gigs of storage it's got a
64 megapixel main shooter actually i don't know how many megapixels the
selfie cam is but i doubt how many megapixels it is is going to be
the main uh bottleneck there it's got a quadruple
camera set up which is pretty cool i guess you got that optical
zoom ability and all that good stuff uh usb type-c i don't know if it's got
dual sim so we'll go ahead and pop this out and have a look oh micro sd
nice you can go dual sim or micro sd plus a
sim thank you very much zte for giving a crap about people who like to expand the
storage in their phones it's so funny how some of these features
end up becoming mid-range features because well rich people would just buy
a phone with more storage in it wouldn't they playing around with brightness the lower
the brightness level the less noticeable it is
and interestingly the screen doesn't get crazy bright which is something that i
might expect from a more value-oriented phone so it doesn't have wireless
charging although it does support 30 watt fast charging and it's running a snapdragon 765 g
chipset so that's one of the ways that they were able to get 5g connectivity
into this thing at a reasonable price because with the premium chipset these
days at least until the 888 launches which i think is happening really soon
it might even have happened by the time this video goes live but for now 765g is the way to go of
course whether or not you can see content over top of the camera
is only half of the equation we've got to fire up the camera
and see if the camera can see your face through the content
this is it this is going to be my first look at myself
through a display it's awful it's like there's a big hazy smudgy film
wow that is
oh man that is something so you can see the display is completely powered down
in the area above the camera so that's going to help
with light transmission but just like we learned when we looked at lg's
transparent OLED tv they're still elements of the
display like even just the wiring that has to be done to every
pixel that you can't make clear or like not
completely clear at least not right now so lowering the pixel density helps
that's why those oleds are 1080p right now at what are
they 55 inch i think 55 inch 1080p there is a hit to image
quality there's more than just a camera built in here though so there's an ambient light
sensor under display sound i don't even know
what that means i mean it only had mono sound when i played back something in youtube anyway so if
it if it does have a stereo effect it's not very good under display fingerprint and under
display fingerprint well that okay that we've seen before and those
under display fingerprint sensors were very obvious kind of like this at first
like you could really see them now you can't see them at all and
it's only been a couple short years if this is if this is sort of the beginning
of where we're going with this technology i've got high hopes that we could bid
notch's idea sooner rather than later play around
with the rear camera a little bit actually i kind of missed that whole uh
just putting a second OLED display on the back and just using your main camera
for selfies concept if someone like samsung had done
that i think it would have been very interesting zte still has some work to do on their
processing but um this is not
bad dtsx ultra 3d sound
apparently now hold on just a second here because i didn't even
pick up stereo in the youtube app for absolute maximum speeds
yeah okay that's definitely a
bottom firing speaker we fired up the chinese website and apparently
it's the wide angle the 64 megapixel
main shooter the uh there's a two megapixel depth
sensor and then a macro lens so that's what the four
different lenses are here does it have image stabilization on the
pedals uh yes pretty well spec for a 450
device hey it's the blurry sulfonator
okay i mean
hey some people go and apply a
blurrification beauty filter to all their pictures anyway brandon
so am i not beautiful do you not think
i'm beautiful brandon with this blurred face look at how all
my imperfections have been smoothed out just like my imperfect end to this video
