  • this kind of an unusual way for a smartphone toe arrive inside of Here is a smartphone that for me, you know, it's kind of highly anticipated because I liked the previous version.

  • I like what it represented.

  • This is the new version of that.

  • This is me a three.

  • It's the me a three from Show Me.

  • And the reason I've been following this series of smartphone is because, in my opinion, for the budget part of the smartphone market place, these guys gave you a pixel like experience.

  • It's not about like the craziest spec list, but instead it's about what's on the other side, which is Android one, the Android One program, which is giving you a pixel like Oh Wes experience completely clean.

  • We have the teardrop style.

  • Not so if you hated the notch layout on the previous generation pixel excel.

  • I mean, this is a step in the right direction is not gonna win any awards for the screen to body ratio.

  • This is a software playing.

  • This is giving customers access to the pure vanilla.

  • Whichever terminology you choose to use version of an android experience, which I kind of wish more people got to do.

  • You can pick this thing up on Amazon.

  • According to Willie, do for around $260 the spec she actually kind of impressive.

  • I've got in front of me here.

  • It's got a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 Siri's so 6 65 up to two gigahertz over 4000 Milan powers built in with 18 watt.

  • Fast charging over USB type seat.

  • Slightly bigger than six inch Amma.

  • Let display.

  • That's kind of a wild animal.

  • A display retail price around to 60 Stock Android.

  • Wow.

  • Would you look at that Once upon a time, that just wasn't gonna happen.

  • I have phone Jack dedicated, traditional classic.

  • It looks like a three camera set up Boom right there.

  • As you could tell.

  • What a flash underneath that they claim it's an aye aye camera.

  • Also interesting.

  • It looks like it's got an I R.

  • Blaster.

  • 48 megapixel, ultra wide, triple lens camera 32 megapixel selfie camera.

  • The fingerprint scanner.

  • You're looking around and wondering.

  • It's an in display style.

  • Now.

  • Android one is not officially the same software as the pixel.

  • You may not see updates exactly as fast, but presumably and Historically, you've seen updates to this OS faster than the skin stuff from the manufacturers, which needs to be patched in.

  • That displays the first thing that you look at this is maximum brightness.

  • As I mentioned, it's AMA lead against my one plus seven pro am.

  • A lead Now you could sell.

  • I mean, the colors are popping the aspect ratio year 19.5 by nine So it's It's a pretty narrow device, actually comfortable to hold.

  • It's like a more narrow iPhone.

  • 10.

  • This could be really tempting for me to switch to because of the one handed functionality.

  • As you can see, it's so easy for me to reach across the entire device.

  • Granted is not a lot of video that can fill this display.

  • So you're going to get black bars on it comparatively construction here.

  • Really nice.

  • It's all solid glass, gorilla glass five, actually a metal construction.

  • Otherwise, I'm gonna load up a Lou later video real quick.

  • Some interesting news.

  • Yo pixel sales.

  • Wow, thanks toe, but way better than I expected.

  • If you recall, Google came out and basically said, Look, we're not happy with where the pixels at, you know what?

  • It's not the loudest I've heard, but I will say I've done this dialogue test on the loo later videos for a while now and at this price point is one of the better ones I've heard.

  • It's not tinny, it's a full sound.

  • I think it's only coming out of one speaker.

  • Let me just double check that upstart manufacturers might not have like like a like a pocket.

  • Yeah, that's a mono speaker setup.

  • But I'd rather have a mono speaker set up that sounds half decent.

  • Then worry about any type of stereo implementation.

  • Most girls are fake anyways.

  • Now the screen as you notice, since it is that odd aspect ratio when you crop into it, you cut off the top of bottom.

  • So there is your default, as you can see, and then you want to fill the screen to utilize what you've got.

  • And so you chop it a little bit.

  • And again, this is a thing I think people are going to increasingly get used to as phone aspect ratios change in order to be great at doing multiple things.

  • I think this trade off is okay.

  • Cameras got me a bit curious.

  • The app to me looks more typical, shall me and less Google pixel will snap a quick photo.

  • It's at one x zoom.

  • I can top that button there, go into two ex telephoto or all the way back out to 20.6 wide to go for 0.6.

  • There.

  • We move into one X here, and we go all the way to ex focus.

  • Here.

  • Zoom looks pretty good.

  • Standard looks pretty good.

  • Why, Yeah, I don't feel like it's as sharp as the Standard Focal Inc.

  • Although this is kind of a common effect of wide angle lenses in general, especially small ones.

  • My criteria for quality is a bit different for each of those inside of a smartphone, but nonetheless it's softer on the 0.6 setting, in my opinion.

  • Now the Aye aye functionality.

  • I'm gonna turn that on.

  • I want to see what it does.

  • Let's see if it can pick up the plant.

  • And then when I frame up the plant, it goes to a leaf and you can see the vibrance goes up ever so slightly.

  • You saw snapped that photo.

  • Now it actually gripped somewhere in the middle.

  • There, off the plant for sharpness.

  • Put a focus point.

  • You could get a little bug photography on if you choose to, if that's your thing.

  • The standard vocal range, on the other hand, looks great.

  • It's by far the best photo of the bunch selfie mode.

  • They say it's got a lot of mega pixels on the front camera.

  • There we go.

  • So, no, eh, I enabled.

  • No HDR enables.

  • Bit blown out on the highlights.

  • Let's try it with the HDR functionality turned on.

  • Now you bring back some of the skin.

  • Details.

  • Some of the pores there.

  • I'm assuming even further.

  • Look at that.

  • You got pores, individual little beard, hair surviving in there all the age.

  • That's a lot of detail.

  • This is sort of a showcase for two things.

  • The contrast on the camera but also the display quality being Enola display.

  • You can see how the black in the frame here just goes perfectly into the black of my shirt now because it is running android one.

  • All of your Google maps are pre installed by default.

  • If I try to get rid of me community, can I uninstall it?

  • I can sew even.

  • That's not a big deal.

  • I'm glad that those aren't locked or anything.

  • It is a true android.

  • One experience.

  • You can go and get rid of the things that you don't use.

  • This device has quite a bit of wobble to it.

  • I feel it's worth noting.

  • A lot of them do this day and age, but I'm just I'm noticing this one a little more than I normally would.

  • Maybe it's that camera hump.

  • Okay, let's give this fingerprint scanner a quick try as well, because it's not set up.

  • It's not on here yet, so here we go.

  • Impress, vibrate.

  • Do the usual.

  • So lock not the fastest.

  • It's a little There's a second there.

  • There's a little extra with the animation.

  • Part of me feels like when you're evaluating these fingerprint scanners, it's like your own interpretation of the animation is how you determine how fast that is.

  • Yeah, it doesn't really.

  • You turn that animation off now.

  • It's not the most offensive I've seen.

  • Way worse animations.

  • Shrem.

  • A aesthetic perspective like it's pretty simple, but definitely it takes a second toe unlock Now.

  • They did say, there's some kind of a I face unlock, so maybe you end up using that.

  • Instead, though, with these optical based front camera face unlocks, it's always a little sketchy of like how secure they actually are.

  • Face unlock is less secure than a pin, password or pattern.

  • Your devices might be unlocked with your photo, as well as people or objects with similar appearance.

  • So it tells you straightaway to be clear, not as secure.

  • So just like other devices that are just using a front facing camera.

  • Same situation.

  • Now.

  • The benefit of these is that they're super convenient.

  • I mean, look how fast it added my face.

  • That's ridiculous.

  • Can you see that, Jack?

  • Open your eyes.

  • Did you tell me over my interesting.

  • Now I'm gonna try with my eyes closed.

  • Okay, Wait a second.

  • What do you say?

  • Open.

  • Oh, interesting.

  • So no eyes closed.

  • No salt, no sleepy unlock.

  • Nonetheless, it's like this kind of amazing device here.

  • Like what you're getting for the bunny.

  • 260 bucks.

  • Android one.

  • I want to see Android one on Maur devices.

  • Those immediately become options for me.

  • Things I feel more comfortable recommending.

  • A lot of people ask me, you're always talking about budget phones, which one.

  • Do you actually recommend?

  • It's kind of hard, particularly for people around here coming from iPhones coming from Samsung.

  • They you know, they have, ah, vision of what a smartphone should be and looks like.

  • And you don't wantto recommend something, it might throw them off too much.
