Another day and another crazy, unusual, and in this case, very expensive smartphone
0:06
This one is courtesy of Mr. Willie Do, who keeps bringing the heat
0:10
8848, does that not inspire confidence? 8848 is the number of feet to the peak of Mount Everest
0:19
Because this is the peak of smartphone engineering and advancement. 6GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, about $1900, almost two grand
0:32
Mr. Worldwide, this is the smartphone for you. See how they do that when you pay money
0:39
You don't struggle with boxes, you just... that's what you do. Leather! Woo
0:48
Ooh, luxurious. Oh my goodness, look at the... wow! Wow, leather as well
0:58
Genuine? Rounded buttons for the volume up and down. So that's the camera unit there
1:05
And the flash is over here. Snapdragon 835, not the top tier Snapdragon
1:11
but an 835 in here. Camera on the rear is 12 megapixels
1:16
What about the front selfie camera? 16 megapixels, 3450 milliamp hour battery
1:23
Let's be honest, you're trying to send a message with this guy. You trying to let people know something is different about you when you hold this baby up Ooh A screen protector is included You gonna need a power brick reminiscent of the device itself inspired
1:38
Type-C cable to charge it up. A wired headset using the Type-C connector. These look like a
1:44
black version of Apple EarPods. Ooh. Now you can see by default we're set up in Chinese here. I'm
1:51
I'm gonna switch it over to English if I can. Oh God, oh my God, here we go
1:57
This could be a cut, this is a cut. You can see there's a whole theme skin situation going on
2:03
og looking clock at the top, which I'm starting to realize is kind of a signature
2:09
of the brand, og graphic there as well. Can I, how do I control it though
2:14
Look at this, I can modify what's on the back. Bunch of clock faces to choose from, let's try that one
2:21
The color ring. Look at this. So if you have this upside down, you get the call ID on the back
2:27
And you have VIP contacts, which ring a different color. Harass call. You don't want them
2:34
Look at that mechanical beast. What? That's for the real gangsters, obviously. Here's a bit more modern
2:41
And that's for the crazy dudes. That's for the dudes with face tattoos
2:45
Oh my goodness gracious. That's unique. That's a nice touch. some pretty intense security settings as well
2:51
Anti-fraud, anti-virus, intercept. Intercept? It like in one of those action movies Intercept the call We four minutes in Keep him on the line Android version 8 Okay now what about the camera I don know what a griddle is Oh it a grid They call the grid a griddle
3:08
Like golden griddle. Are they still around golden griddle? Interesting. There's no like beauty thing or anything flashy like that
3:16
Hmm? May have cleaned me up a little bit or softened my skin. I'm not really sure
3:21
But the beard hair test is in full effect. No portrait mode even. Ooh. Can you see the texture there
3:27
in the leather of the box. You know what? I've seen worse
3:31
It's pretty decent. Granted, the device is very expensive, so it should be decent
3:35
Still not really the reason you pick up this phone. You pick up this phone because it looks like no other phone
3:41
From a distance you know it's something different. Now I do want to check out the fingerprint scanner
3:46
So it's a really big fingerprint scanner. Alright, let's lock it. You know what
3:54
Not the fastest ever. Not the slowest? I know some people really like to have the scanner on the front still
4:02
I got really used to having it on the back to be honest. Of course, in the case of this phone, not exactly an option
4:08
Okay, let's check out the speakers real quick. We gotta do that. Wait, what is this button
4:12
This button just gives you a quick change of theme. It just gives you a fresh one
4:18
Look at that. That's like a work and play situation. You have like a work profile
4:22
Then you hit the button. And you go to play mode. So maybe this is off hours
4:26
Here's a good video for you. It is small. I just put that on top That a quarter So where is the speaker Hold on Interesting It firing You can see I can cover them like this but here and there
4:40
That's kind of cool, actually. Speakers sound pretty good
4:59
So it is, it's equally firing out of both sides, which is kind of like a stereo
5:04
It's like a portrait stereo mode, which is not something I've seen before
5:08
It's an unusual implementation. I mean, what's the story of this phone
5:12
Obviously, it's very expensive. It's like two grand and it doesn't even have the latest processor in it
5:16
So it's a really weird thing to evaluate. It's not even about some crazy screen to body ratio
5:22
I think the pitch here is luxurious materials. An experience which feels expensive when you hold it
5:28
Weirdly, I'm kind of into it. I don't really know why. Maybe it's just that so many of these smartphone slabs are looking the same these days
5:36
To hold onto something that's so obviously different is just kind of exciting, I guess
5:42
That must be it. Would I spend two grand on it? Probably not
5:46
I kind of like the fact that it exists in a world full of rectangles
5:50
You got this, and I like things that are weird. There you have it, 8848
5:55
They breathe the rarefied air that you might find at the top of Mount Everest
6:02
Boom
