He he
0:00
He he New glasses! Woo hoo hoo hoo! So it's been a little while now, I know, I understand
0:09
Since my last Galaxy S9 video, when it first came out, I did preliminary impressions type of video
0:16
I had pre-release units, so I couldn't even hold onto those, I had to send those ones back
0:21
I realized, man, I haven't extensively used the S9 yet, or in this case, the S9 Plus
0:29
I'm not really doing my job here. As painful as it may be for me today
0:34
I'm gonna switch over from the pixel 2 XL like a warm blanket to the s9 plus. I picked this up today
0:41
I decided while I was over there to pick up the fast charger the wireless fast charger as well
0:46
Samsung they really do the wireless charging best. What do they say 10 minute charging wirelessly? Oh my goodness
0:52
That's exciting on its own. Okay, so what did I get? I got the 64 gigabyte titanium gray. No contract
0:58
I just picked it up. Bingo. Maybe in this case, it means I'm gonna be a little bit more critical because I put my money where my mouth was
1:06
I did or I'm doing that actively? Okay, the unboxing experience. You've probably seen this at this point
1:11
Last time around, I actually chose to switch to the S8 rather than the Plus version
1:18
This time around, I'm like bigger battery, the camera setup, the unit right here, titanium gray on the back
1:25
Probably put some kind of case on this new camera setup moved the fingerprint scanner
1:30
Which was my number one pet peeve on the previous version type C headphone jack, which they kept that's important to me
1:37
Peel that off no notch city USB connector here in order to
1:42
Transfer files from your previous device fast charge power brick This is something I was kind of excited about about AKG headphones Now that a nice little bump That a nice little bonus there Look you aware All right this is sort of the flagship to beat or at least it has been for a long time Price Not quite a thousand
2:01
dollars. Everyone's always going to want to have a status symbol. Look, I got $800. I got $800
2:07
You see? That's mine. But I think for the mass market, the real innovation is somewhere down
2:13
the food chain a little bit in that mid range where you're getting like 90% of the experience
2:18
of this, maybe even 95 in some cases for almost half the cost
2:23
I am glad that Samsung didn't jump all the way to a thousand bucks unlike some other
2:28
players in the marketplace. Not gonna name any names. Sometimes you like to bring one for your teacher if you're trying to, you know, up the grades
2:35
in school. I'm not... He he he he he New glasses! So Samsung, what is so magical about the Galaxy line of devices other than the fact that then other than the fact then other than
2:52
other that they spend boatloads of money telling you about what's special that marketing it's still it's
2:58
Penetrated the cultural mindset in fact many people they just correlate Galaxy with Android and vice versa
3:05
You know, we're talking about OLED. The best in the biz, it's still a Samsung display
3:09
So you might be surprised to know Samsung is supplying even to Apple
3:14
So for those of you in the comments that are like, iPhone for life, bro
3:18
there's a relationship between these top level brands in many cases. That device that you love so much
3:25
it has pieces and components from many different players. And that's good
3:28
That's good for the tech biz. Very comfy as well. if you've ever used, I mean you hear the tone already
3:33
What's different here? An upgraded camera system. You got some super slow I had the lighter out Jack can sub in the clip right now Kablamo Oh so pretty You also have the variable aperture This is insane for a smartphone Bit of a gimmick Uh possibly
3:49
Fingerprint city. Yes, of course. Another glass phone. I ordered a couple leather cases. Can I say something about leather cases
3:56
I've been looking for good stuff. I can't find it. It busted on my recent trip. Not durable. There's not a good one out there
4:01
I'm so angry about it, I might just make one. How about that? Alright
4:06
Let's do the ceremonial SIM card switch because yes, he's not gonna do it, he's not gonna do it
4:12
Lose a Pixel fanboy! Google fanboy! That's a real SIM card, that's my real phone number
4:17
Don't leak it this time, Jack. Let's slot this baby in. Micro SD card expansion. Alright, options are good
4:24
Here we go, here we go. Okay, cool. Boom. I apologize, my sweet Pixel 2 XL
4:30
The days were good. Nonetheless, your old news for now, my allegiance is nowhere, alright
4:35
So you can trust I'm looking at this as objectively as a human possibly can
4:40
And I'm gonna let you know the verdict. This kind of stuff, first party accessories, they have the potential to improve your relationship with a gadget
4:48
And I don't care who you are, and I don't care where you're from. Once you try wireless charging, you're just like, that's magic
4:54
Look at this, leather-ish. You can just charge like this, bam! Or, look at that
4:59
And then the up. The slide and the up. And now, you're docking
5:03
Well, you know, I don't want everybody staring at my... I don't want Jack, uh, uh, you know, peering into the private life
5:10
You catch him just taking a peek in there, don't you? Guess what, Jack? Mind your own business
5:15
Mind your own business for once. Why don't you? Alright? Look, it's a switching video
5:20
I can't give you the whole breakdown right now because I'm being honest
5:24
Immediate enhancements. I getting the headphone jack back I getting a better display I know that to be true Wireless charging is back Let see what happens I have officially switched to the S9 Prepare for fireworks
5:37
Today's episode of Unbox Therapy is brought to you by Upsi. Upsi
5:42
This is a new service, a new take on the whole warranty shenanigans that exist at your local retailer when you buy a new device like this one
5:51
I told you that I just went to Best Buy and I picked up this S9+, with my hard-earned cash
5:56
and they try to hit me with the warranty, all right? Now, we're all well aware that those sales pitches are so aggressive
6:01
because the margins on those warranty sales are high, and that's where Upsi comes in
6:07
They got a new take, a more affordable warranty, even for a brand new expensive phone like the one in front of me
6:14
You can get a two-year warranty with Upsi on the S9 for $79
6:19
$79.99, all right? Now, it doesn't end there because they make it easier to make actual claims
6:25
This is one of the downsides with those warranties when you go to make a claim
6:29
They're like did you cross your T's? Did you dot the I's? Do you have the original car
6:33
Where's the original receipt a photocopy is not gonna do I'm trust me
6:38
They don't make it up see makes that easier by allowing you to just take a photo of your item and add it to your
6:45
Inventory and that's it your gold from that point forward that particular device is protected
6:49
But you can also get warranties for like TVs and various other gadgets
6:53
And they all live in a nice little interface so you can see what's covered and what's not
6:58
Upsi gives you up to 45 days to add protection to your purchase
7:03
If you bought a new phone recently, you can still add to it
7:07
Just make sure it's within 45 days. I want you to head over to Upsi.com and use code UNBOX10 to get 10% off
