A Very Futuristic Smartphone...

This episode sponsored by LastPass

This is kind of a highly requested device. When I first bought it, I was like, that's an interesting design they've got there

I would love to take a look. So I think, did you get in touch with these people, Willie Do

Willie Do, ladies and gentlemen. To the rescue, as usual. He reached out to Oppo

We have the Reno. Check this guy out. As you guys know, I recently switched smartphones

I'm back into the Android universe for the time being. And who knows, maybe this one is compelling enough to justify a switch over to this one next

Alright, so 10x hybrid zoom, 6.6 inch OLED display, that's cool. Ultra night mode and 4065 mAh battery with VOOC flash charge 3.0

Okay, so that's some exciting stuff right there. Alright, so pricing, Will says, starts at around $575

So that's kind of a compelling price point. a little bit below your typical flagship

Mirrored finish on the black with like a gradient color thing happening

from grayish, bluish, purplish. What's cool here, the camera unit is completely flush with the glass back

No camera bulge whatsoever. All right, so update on the zoom characteristics

It's gonna be five times optical 10X hybrid. This is called the O-DOT

My guess was that it was to elevate the back glass panel of the phone up off the table a little bit

so that the lens section wouldn't scratch. And according to Will, that's the case

That's exactly what that is for. It moves a little bit because of that

but only if you tap the top of the screen. If you tap anywhere near the bottom where your keyboard would be, it still sits flush

Ooh, they gave like a pretty cool looking case. Actually, that's a better than usual case

for a freebie that's in the package. You can now see this giant cutout on the top

That's because this one has a different take. You're gonna see it in a minute. The entire back channel here cut out

It's kind of cool. Got a quick charge VOOC power brick. You also have a USB type C cable

There's a SIM tool inside of here. And there's also a headset. It looks a little bit better than usual

Fits in the ear and you have multiple ear tips in order to get the right fit

Looking at the device, you have your power switch over on this side. And it indicated here by this cool little green color The bottom is your type C connector as well as your SIM card tray speaker unit in that location as well volume buttons up down over on the other side and then if you look at the top of

the device you get your first sense of where this pop-up camera is going to elevate take that right

away you're going to realize this is a full display situation i mean we're we're basically

we're in the era now of full screen displays no notch necessary full screen no notch no

cut out just a clean look and this one is 6.6 inches oled so it's actually a pretty nice looking

display as well this display actually very similar to the oneplus these might very well be the same

display or or quite similar i will say on the oneplus device it curves over the edge like the

glass curves to each side this one is flat but they're very comparable and they're the same size

Fingerprint setup, it's an in-display situation. Optical-based fingerprint. You can see we have the ColorOS skin on here, which is quite a bit different

I mean, look at that. It's quite a bit different. It got some iOS inspiration in there, but even there, it's different

The display looks good, especially after boosting the brightness. So the OnePlus has a resolution advantage, but they're both OLED

and you're probably not going to pick up too much of a difference. Now, what about the magic trick

Obviously, the camera module, that's what most people are interested in. Whoa

And you can actually get a glimpse of yourself there, Jack. I don't know if you noticed. There you are

This one, the whole top moves. Now, you may recall previous Oppo devices, some of the first I ever looked at with motorized cameras

The whole back piece kind of moved up. The Oppo Find X, which was one of the first I ever looked at with a motorized camera

This one is sort of inspired by that and the fact that a lot more of the top portion moves

It just kind of sneaks out of there. So what about the quality of the thing

Oh, I can tell already. I mean, it's got some serious beauty features, actually

I should just mention, like, independently. I could get myself souped up, Jack. All natural

And what do we have to say? You know what? That's not bad. That's pretty good, actually

That's very... I would say that's in line with our expectations. You can pick up like specs on my shirt

like specs of dust. So far so good on the front facing camera. Now the rear one so you have the 5X optical the 10X hybrid and if I click this button here we go to two we go to six we go to 10 The focusing distance on the 6X

this is not gonna be great for like macro stuff if you wanted to shoot a plant like this one

or a bug or something. This is super wide, boom. One X, two X, six X, 10X. 10x

And the focusing distance comes into play again. Now let's keep in mind at the 10x it's a hybrid situation

so there might be a bit of quality loss and it looks like there is a tiny bit

at least in our sample right here. And you get an idea for just how versatile

a camera like this is. You can get all these different perspectives

So the only other implementation similar to this one would be on the P30 Pro from Huawei

in which they have a 5x optical zoom as well. and then of course the whole hybrid situation that happens beyond that

gives you a lot of versatility from a photo perspective. Fully wide

1x. 2x. 6x. 10x

you know what actually that picture is not bad at all and that's at 10x i could see

maybe if you go to a lot of like music shows or something like this jack you're far away from the

stage and sporting events and to get an idea of just how much closer you are all we gotta do is

scroll back a couple and realize oh man this is 1x this is your stock this right here is your stock perspective

I mean, that's a totally different situation. So, versatility. I think that's the name of the game with

this product. What's the story of this phone? At this point, it's full display

motorized camera, tons of zoom, and a decent spec list, and a price point that also

happens to be lower than the sub-flagships or the competitive flagships or the flagship killers, as

they're called, like the OnePlus 7 Pro. So that's the angle here. Alright

So we'll load up a Lou later video here and see how the audio sounds for dialogue recent upload

Whoa this was Apple take on like a modern workstation computer That they were going to have desktop class graphics OnePlus 7 Pro comparison since I have it here

A lot of people at the time had wanted something. Apple's, they bit, the Apple's

That sounds better. The Oppo sounds better. Cheaper prices sounds better. And it's coming from a guy who, where this thing comes in

But I mean, you've obviously, at this point you've seen it. It's more clarity. It's more detail

I just it's just a slightly better speaker experience you have a snapdragon 855 Adreno 640 GPU

you can get it with six or eight gigs of ram and 128 or 256 of storage it's kind of an interesting

package if I dare say so myself this color os thing that's a that's a hurdle to overcome

I would of course go in here install a launcher I would configure I would customize remind me what

But you said 575 USD. That's a compelling package. Really, when you think about it

So it's also got a night mode on it. I'd say the package is pretty compelling

Now I'm starting to understand why this was a requested device. It got a lot of interest from you guys

669 for the phone on my left, OnePlus 7 Pro. 575 for the phone on my right

You don't get the 90 hertz display. And that thing, it doesn't show up on camera

I know I've only been using this for a little bit. But it gives you this sense of speed

It's not a huge deal. It shouldn't be a deal breaker. But it's something worth noting

What can I say? Choices. They're out there in the world. It's all so interesting and exciting

And here's a new one. A new choice to add to the mix. Maybe you're looking at this now

A little bit of extra reach. Coachella. The whole story. Who knows

I think it's pretty cool. This episode is sponsored by LastPass. With LastPass, you don't have to write, remember, or reset your passwords
