So I've been getting a lot of requests from you guys to check out this device in front of me
0:05
This is the 16th. It's the latest device from Meizu. I have featured some of their products in the past
0:12
One of their devices that had a screen on the back of the phone
0:16
They've done some interesting stuff. You might not have had exposure to this particular brand
0:22
That said, in certain parts of the world, they're putting out some really competitive stuff
0:27
And you can pick up a device like this one, the 16th, starting around $360
0:33
So this one is kind of targeting the Pocophone area of the segment
0:37
It's got close to flagship specs. Snapdragon 845 processor, 3000 mAh battery
0:44
The one in front of me has 128GB of storage and 8GB of RAM
0:47
You're talking about a 20 megapixel camera on the front, dual lens setup on the back
0:52
Now if you are in North America, you'll likely need to import this device. You can do so through Aliexpress and just keep in mind you want to check your local bands for your particular
1:01
Wireless provider to make sure they're supported by the unit that you actually purchase this one features LTE
1:07
And that'll work on certain carriers, so just make sure before you buy there is a plus version
1:13
This is the smaller of the two now Apparently this device is also very light and slender weird name as well
1:20
I should mention it is not meizu 16. It is 16. I almost forgot
1:25
features an inbuilt fingerprint scanner which is incredibly unusual at this particular price point it has a slim bezel curved bezel top and bottom I'm a
1:35
fan of this you guys know I'm not a big notch guy peel this off peel this off
1:40
peel this off and peel this off the midnight black you can see the dual lens
1:49
setup here, 20 megapixels, 12 megapixels, Sony sensor, so it should be pretty good, you know
1:56
cost to performance ratio. Below there is what looks like a flash, kind of a ring flash, unique
2:02
design. This glass design is what everyone's going for. It's that luxury feel, and to be honest, at
2:07
this price point, it's one of the differentiating factors of this device. A lot of the competitors
2:12
delivering similar specs at this price are not giving you these materials. Metal and glass is
2:19
pretty much all that's on here. You still have the headphone jack Many of you are fans of this I myself don see the need to rush it out the door USB Type over here beside that a case to get you started A hard shell
2:34
And it's very slim and I kind of like that. Eh. It's free. Okay
2:40
Type-C on one end, classic USB on the other. Your SIM tool and your quick charge power brick included in the box. Okay, very nice
2:49
Given the price point, you're probably wondering what is this display all about
2:53
Well, it happens to actually be AMOLED FHD+. So you place your finger on the display right over here
3:01
I'll make sure it gets every angle of your finger. Cool. Succeeded. All right
3:09
Ooh. You know what? It's pretty effective. This is what's so weird to me
3:19
Why is it that Apple, for example, would be reluctant to do that? Why is it that market leaders who should have way more money to invest in tech like that
3:29
or to even buy up companies that are capable of doing it? Because for me, that's just an easy, obvious fix to the problem of having strictly face ID
3:39
And if users understand that it's an optical scan, And if they understand that maybe it doesn't have the same security level, then what's the problem
3:47
You just give them the option for the in-display. Okay, now obviously as you can tell straight away, there's a pretty heavy skin situation going on
3:55
It is not stock Android, although the settings menu is very similar
4:00
It's got your usual eye-friendly modes. There's some different optimization modes for the display as well from adaptive standard photo
4:07
It's set to dynamic out of the box. You can also toggle in your color temperature independently
4:13
It's got always-on display functionality, raise to wake, and so on. So something that's interesting to me about this phone is how slender, how slim and light it is
4:25
Here's the Pixel 3 XL. Even makes that one feel a bit fat, I guess
4:29
The materials here do give off a premium vibe. Fingerprints are a bit out of hand, though
4:34
Like, I do have to say. All right now the camera seems to be an area where you make some compromises
4:40
But ever since all these manufacturers at the lower end started to just use these very similar Sony sensors You seen the caliber of the budget smartphone camera just elevate substantially We have our usual little test here
4:57
We got Connor, we got the plant, there's a beer bottle back there
5:01
This is just the standard photo mode. I have not changed anything. By default, beauty mode looks set to off
5:08
By default, I like that. Thank you very much. And what do we have
5:12
Okay. You know, maybe it's a little blown out in certain parts
5:16
It is a super bright environment. The image is okay. I'm going to take a zoom
5:21
For your money, is that going to suffice? I think I'd say so
5:26
Now, of course, it does have a portrait mode also. Yeah, I don't know
5:31
If I look at the lines around the hair, you can see it's pretty good
5:36
And I told you guys, I'm not a huge fan of this mode in the first place
5:40
There are so few phones that do it well. Video mode, we can go up to 4K, 16 by nine
5:47
It's 1080p by default. It also has an HDR functionality, so let's just give HDR a chance here also. Ooh
5:54
Of course we get a little bit more dynamic range with the HDR turned on
5:58
Selfie, I mean we gotta do it. The beauty mode enabled by default
6:02
trying to beaut, there's Jack. Not beautiful, maybe? We can work on that
6:08
Anyhow, face beauty off. Thank goodness, okay, cool. Oh, okay. I mean, we've seen some worse selfies in here
6:17
In the studio, we've seen them, we've seen worse. Jack, that's a phone that starts around 360 bucks
6:24
in some cases. I mean, it's not the best selfie we've ever taken here
6:28
It is by no means the worst. Need to check out the speakers, very important
6:32
This is the new Razer Phone 2. Oh. The guys behind the original- Okay
6:37
I did a video on it last year, Got a lot of attention from you guys
6:42
Okay. So they're doing what a lot of other manufacturers are doing
6:46
They're sending sound out of the bottom as well as the earpiece, kind of the high end being represented out of the earpiece as a secondary unit
6:54
Not quite stereo sound, even though some companies are calling it that
6:59
But you can't completely block the sound. And you get some extra clarity, especially on dialogue
7:07
by having something forward firing. So I a big fan of this style of implementation especially when you dealing with such a slim bezel to begin with There not a lot of places to put speakers so this little sliver speaker unit I mean
7:22
that's kind of a good move. Just another phone
7:33
This phone is a bit of a surprise, I've got to be honest. Here's a good phone for an affordable price
7:38
Here's an incredibly slim form factor. Here's a high screen to body ratio
7:44
Here's a we don't need a notch even though everyone else is doing one
7:48
Snapdragon 845. Here's 8 gigs of RAM. Here's 128 gigs of storage
7:54
Here's a 3000 mAh battery. Here's an OLED display that's 6 inches, FHD+
8:00
You kind of get where I'm going here. Here's a headphone jack because you still want it
8:04
Here's a free case in the box. Here's a fingerprint magnet. No, they didn't say that in testing, but there is a fingerprint sensor in the screen again at that price and
8:15
Functioning the way that this one does that's a kind of compelling package isn't it an unexpectedly
8:22
Compelling package. I'm starting to understand why you guys were sending me those tweets about this device
8:27
And in fact you had questions you were like what about this versus the pokofone now
8:32
Now obviously the Pocophone has a much bigger battery. It's got a 4,000 milliamp hour battery
8:37
So we need to take that into consideration. But this trade might be one that some people are willing to make
8:42
Because here you have what I would consider to be traditionally a more premium build with the glass and metal
8:51
You have a slimmer profile. You have a no notch situation which I know matters to some
8:57
You have a 6 inch display in probably the most comfortable to hold form factor maybe that I've ever held
9:04
Maybe you would be willing to trade a slightly bigger battery for those things
9:09
I don't know, maybe I could get by utilizing this thing. Maybe I could live
9:13
They never cease to amaze me what they can deliver at the prices that they're doing it
9:17
There's no gimmicks here. The 16th from Meizu, I think it definitely deserved some attention from me
9:25
If you guys want to see me potentially switch over to this, you can always let me know down in the comments section
9:31
I think it's pretty impressive now that it's dipped below 400 bucks
9:35
That's my take. But anyhow, time will tell
