Huawei Mate Xs Unboxing - Whoa.

I gotta say, man, it's not every day I'm this excited

Will has been promoting this package around the studio. I got something coming in. I got the best thing coming in

Will do Unbox Therapy hand delivered. Hand delivered. And of course, it's the plain envelope with the tape on it

And Kirk just brought some fresh hot coffee. So, of course. Oh, delicious

This is the greatest moment in YouTube history. Is that how you said it

More or less? Or no, was it internet history? The greatest day in internet history

Will doesn't normally go to this extent. If you're not amped up now, I don't know if you ever will be

Why am I cutting it there? Wow, we got Kirk's attention. You also you also don't know what it is. No, only will

But he said we're all gonna really enjoy it. Honestly, that's what he said

I'm not... Lou's making stuff up. Oh! In studio

It's the Mate XS. In studio. Foldable. I could never get my hands on the original Mate X

It was the foldable that, for whatever reason, it was the unattainable foldable here in the studio

And would you look at that? It's here thanks to Willy Do. So shout out

There's some kind of a bumper case frame that's on the very top right here

Foldable form factor that I have not experimented with. It's not the clamshell folding in

It's the outfold. Color interstellar blue. 512 gigs of storage, 8 gigs of RAM

Ooh, all right. Greeted by the device currently unfolded. Ooh, that is so different

so it folds is there a button do i just begin to fold straight away i just fold like this whoa

the galaxy fold never never felt like a normal smartphone in its folded position oh will's

getting up the fold felt like a thing that needed to be unfolded you're gonna have some concerns

you're going to wonder about durability because all your display is on the outside. So this is a

lot more day to day. You're living your life. You're answering the calls. You're tapping the

messages. And then you've got an extra moment of relaxation. You're about to enjoy your content

your unbox therapy, your loo later. You hit the button and then you go into the small tablet

mode at that moment. The Galaxy Fold is over here. So over here, it really felt like the tablet

portion was the important one. That was the one that Samsung cared about first. And then the phone

element, the screen on the outside, the earpiece and whatnot was an extra bonus. It can do that

in a pinch. You look at this particular implementation and you realize that in this

folded form factor that's a lot more like a typical smartphone. It's actually very similar

in stance to well this is the S20 Ultra It barely fatter and it a whole tablet in there We have a camera array on the back There one two three looks like four cameras This little switch controls the unlock So you hit this button and it sort of flings up

to start the process for you into the unlock position and then back down into the closed position there

Oh, we need power. All right, so that thing is charging up right now. Let's check out the other items inside the package

Sim tool is in there, some paperwork. There's also gonna be your Type-C cable, I presume

A fairly long USB Type-C cable. There's a headset in the package

Type-C as well, earbuds. A power brick, supercharged power brick, max 40 watts

Okay, there it is. And once again, this is in phone mode

And for me, this is the most impressive part. When you pull your phone out of your pocket

you wanna be able to use it immediately as a smartphone. You wanna dive in there, you wanna open it up

you wanna have the full smartphone experience straight out of the pocket. Now, a couple of observations

It's a bit heavier than a typical smartphone and because the screen wraps around the edge

it's got a little slip, a little extra slip to it. On the back, when you're using the front, you have nothing

It's just blacked out. It looks kind of like the back of a phone

And then when you open it up, there's an animation and it just swings over to the entire thing

Let's do that one more time. We close it and the opposite takes place

Regular smartphone. Open. Big time. It does feel like an easier transition for me because there was something odd with the fold

As cool as the fold was, there was something odd about needing to flip it open or feeling the need to flip it open for almost everything

They want you to be able to reach the far edge of the screen, considering how big it is and so on

But it did feel like a compromise. In the folded format, it's hard to say that this isn't superior to this

I mean, it should be pretty obvious. Wow, typing is so easy on here

It's crazy. I should show you guys unboxtherapy.com you can actually browse all the videos in a new

format now kind of cool I never talked about this but as you can see will you got to fill me in here

this doesn't currently have the google play services so I can't just install the youtube app

on here I could get in a sideload business okay let's turn it up can now run android oh wow yeah

Something called Project Sandcastle, and it's not going to be a supported thing to do

You've got your video, you're scrolling comments, you've got great audio. Specifically an iPhone 7, and there's some video footage, in fact, of this guy from Forbes

It really does feel like a substitute for a tablet when you have it unfolded in this form factor right here

Now, speaking of that, Will, this thing is not going to be cheap, right

You tell them, Will. What's the price of this? $2,700. $2,700. That makes this one of the most expensive production smartphones we've had on a set

It's incredible. I should also mention the fingerprint scanner is over here on the side

Look at that. Locked. If I try on my index, nothing. Thumb Bang Full spec list It a 300 gram device It eight inches in size when it unfolded diagonally measured

The beauty when you're folded up is now you are a 6.6 inch smartphone

which in 2020 is fully acceptable. OLED display. Unfolded, it's 2480 by 2200

Folded, it's 2480 by 1148. Camera layout, 40 megapixel wide, f1.8 16 megapixel ultra wide f2.2 8 megapixel telephoto f2.4 the battery in here is 4500

milliamp hour which is again fairly large how does that compare will to the galaxy fold uh 4380 oh

okay so they're in the same territory all right now let's give these cameras a quick look why don't

we by default we're at 1x straight out the box and you can touch these dots to slide all the way in

all the way up to 30x which wow which i probably wouldn't use 3x looks pretty usable hey will can we get a thumbs up sir

bam one x bam and wide a nice variety there of focal ranges which is a must on a flagship

in this day and age it used to only be a dream but now it's an absolute must i like

the ultra wide myself now what if we flip around to the selfie we gotta do this you see how that

works. Look at that. You see that magic? Oh, that's a selfie, Jack. I'm detailed and I'm detail

oriented. You're using the high caliber camera even for your selfies. So this is a selfie sleeper

You don't have to have that mini little camera and a hole punch on the front that they just kind

of put in there as an afterthought. Wouldn't you still have access to your other lenses there

We flip it around. Yeah, we have access to the full suite. Oh my beard hair. Oh my word

wow tremendous detail oh 5x on that detail we tombo that's beard for beard zoom in on your own grill

as they say as the kids say they don't say that kirk does but he's not a kid he's 47 years old

oh this is really interesting if you just back out of the app you got a mini version

of your single display, and then you flip the phone. Interesting. Lots of different uses

different thought processes here. What about a video? Why don't we? 60 FPS, 4K, why don't we

And we can compare this, actually, to our previous video, in which I looked at the edit

after you uploaded, and he was orange or red or pink or something

Hopefully that doesn't happen here. We're, of course, going to find out. So by default, 1X

Beauty mode is at zero very well. This is 1080p, 60fps. We have Will

We have the dogs. Of course, Otis still wearing his fancy outfit

Who knows? He might keep picking it from the closet each morning

You never know. Doing it to this day. There's Will. Hopefully, he's the complexion

To me, it looks good. Right now, it looks good. He's got to wait for the video

Yeah, he doesn't... Right now it looks good very detailed Many Ks Many of the k we are shooting in there jack he moving and grooving he back in business he back on the job and of course we can do

a kirk test in order to i don't know just we did we did everything else so it's a kirk test

and he's enjoying the weather and he's normally standing against this pole

most of the day. So if you need to find him, that's where he normally is

And we're going to zoom out. Let's see, let's get out wide. Okay, the wide lens definitely gets a bit softer

but usable. And then maybe we go back. We go back. I kind of like this thing

Is that alright? So you take a screen and you're folding and you're moving and you're grooving

Why you gotta reach for your laptop? Why you gotta reach for your iPad

It's no Google Play services You're living in Tweak Town You gotta side load your stuff

You gotta be a bit of a nerd I wish that wasn't the case but that's just the state

That's the state of the union in 2020. For now, who knows

It may change. In the folded mode, straight out the pocket, this is a more familiar place for me to be

It's much less of a sandwich. It does not feel like a sandwich. Now, I have nothing against sandwiches

Kirk does. He can't eat the bread. Lou, I'm going to break that thing

I'm going to place it down. I'm going to scratch it. I'm going to shatter it

You know what? You might. You might very well. I feel like this phone, this phone, both of these phones, all these phones, they're almost three grand

This thing's almost three grand at this point. You got to treat it like it's three grand

If you're actually going to splurge on it, you baby the thing. Like I said, you put it to bed on the pillow. It gets the nicer pillow than you. It gets the memory foam pillow

It's not a form factor that's tried and true. It's absolutely fringe and it should be approached in that way

It's the cutting edge for a reason. It's not for everyone. Not everybody should be on that edge

But if you can be, you end up having these science fiction experiences, which that's one of the big reasons I signed up for this gig in the first place and got into it in the first place was to have these types of experiences

So from that standpoint, it's exciting to have stuff like this show up that isn't like everything else

um can we put this in the video on kirk's phone do it that's intense all right quick a little quick

extra here i didn't install the case it kind of looked flimsy but i actually think it offers a

tiny bit of protection here for the one thing that might make people nervous which is when you place

it down on the table this tiny little frame like case gives you a bit of a ridge so it sits on that

instead of the screen so that was included in the package i think it might be a good move

you can't put a huge bulky case on here but this bumper at least gives you something
