So this device in front of me, my goodness, you guys have been shouting at me on Twitter
0:05
Lou, you gotta get your hands on this guy right here. Everyone's talking about it
0:10
The OnePlus killer. It's from Xiaomi. It's called the Pocophone, a budget phone
0:16
But the crazy part about this phone, the specs are not budget at all
0:20
This is the global version that I have right here. And this is where things get spicy. Snapdragon 845
0:26
Liquid cooling system. Dual camera setup with a 20 megapixel front-facing camera
0:31
4,000 mAh battery. Dual SIM built-in. What would you be willing to pay for something like that
0:37
Well, let me blow your mind. This thing is supposed to start at $299. $299
0:44
Wow, maybe that does have a shot. Maybe that is the OnePlus killer
0:47
Because of course, as you know, the OnePlus device around $500, that's a bit of a gap
0:53
If it can deliver on the expectations, it might be just the go-to phone in general
0:58
I don't know. Let's go ahead and crack this open. I just noticed mine says F1 Armored Edition
1:04
You see that, Jack, right there? We'll find out in a moment here. So first things first, we have the device
1:09
They've included a case as well. Kaboom. And a nice texture. I'm a big fan of that texture
1:14
It's got some grip to it. No fingerprints, unlike the glossy finishes that we're seeing on so many devices
1:20
Circular fingerprint scanner. If I'm being honest here, you might confuse the lens unit for the fingerprint scanner
1:28
Let's see here. All right. USB Type-C on the bottom here, along with your speaker unit
1:33
A 3.5 millimeter headphone jack on the top. In the box, we have a quick charge power brick
1:38
Once again, that quick charge 3.0. A Type-C cable to charge it up
1:43
Sim card tool right there. Okay. My first impressions on the build quality, the thing feels solid
1:48
Willy do just clarified the back panel here is made out of
1:52
aramid kevlar fiber and it cool that someone putting it straight on to a phone and not just in a Okay so we going to set up the fingerprint scanner here Here we go I going to scan my finger in here So the display is 6 inches It LCD IPS so it should have pretty good color
2:11
reproduction. So quick comparison here, P20 Pro on this side, which is an AMOLED display
2:17
and then we have the LCD in the left hand on the F1
2:22
And, you know, I mean, you see how the OLED stays more vibrant
2:26
at different viewing angles, but dead on, it's a toss-up, right? Let's launch the cameras here
2:32
Let's get a couple props on the desk here. Jack's favorite action figure
2:37
Big fight coming up. Just in the standard mode, we have three different items
2:42
Feels pretty quick off the bat. What do you say, Jack? Your boy Connor's not looking too shabby
2:47
Okay, so the dual-end setup is 12 megapixels and 5 megapixels, and then the front camera is 20 megapixels
2:54
Try out this portrait mode. Focus in on him. He's actually, uh..
3:01
It's a little blurry behind him. It kind of grabbed the edge pretty decently
3:05
right around the hairline. And it looks pretty decent, even with this fake little dude here
3:10
20 megapixel selfie camera is what they are saying. And we're looking for detail, we're looking for beard hairs
3:16
Ooh. Jack attack. What do you say about that? Ryan, can you count some beard hairs
3:24
Come over here, Ryan. Come on in and say hello! Ryan is in Toronto! Oh
3:34
I didn't think you were gonna have me on. I didn't think I was either, I don't know. You got me fired up there
3:38
That's a front-facing camera. Yeah. Hey. I have to compare. It looks good though
3:43
Not bad. Yeah. I mean. It's sharp. Dude. Yeah. It's pretty good
3:48
It looks better than I look in real life. It's pretty good. It's a lot of detail
3:51
It's good, right? It good It good You don expect this for starting price I have had nowhere near the number of tweets about a particular device The back It kind of like the phone I have with the case right now right But you don need a case
4:04
If you drop it, is it still going to be okay? Well, I mean, don't go dropping it, right
4:08
No, I'm not dropping it. But if you do drop it, $2.99. I would use it
4:11
The build feels solid. Yeah. Yeah. I guess my time's done here, folks
4:15
Oh, there he goes. And he goes back to Calgary. And who knows when and if we'll see him again
4:21
By the way this is a good time to test the fingerprint now that it's locked. 3, 2, 1
4:26
Ooh. 3, 2, 1. Ohhhhh. 3, 2, 1. I'll tell you something
4:34
I don't think they skimped on that. Now you guys know I care about the speaker
4:47
If I cover up this unit right here. You still hear a little treble out of the earpiece section
4:53
Okay, hold up. P20 Pro. Let's go real quick. Remember, P20 Pro, much higher price point
5:07
Ahhhh. The P20 Pro sounds better. Okay, fine
5:16
Right? There's more depth. I think it kind of lands actually right where I expected
5:21
I mean, even iPhone sounds better than that. Do we have an iPhone? Okay, out of this bunch, I'm going to say the iPhone X sounds the best
5:36
but not only is it unfair price-wise, it's also just like it's not a huge, it's not a massive gap
5:41
You would have thought they would have skimped even further. You would have thought there's a possibility
5:45
that it could have sounded even worse at this particular price point
5:48
It my first exposure to this brand to this device I have to say it impressive right now At this price point I hear you I know why you guys were yelling at me to look at this thing now stuff is happening this phone matters
6:02
We got a Rearrange our thought process on this stuff these other devices are coming out of a thousand plus
6:08
It's like are they really that much better better enough snapdragon 845 six gigs of RAM and various storage options
6:16
starting at 300 bucks. 4,000 mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 starting at 300 bucks
6:24
6 inch plus display, not OLED, but not ugly, starting at 300 bucks
6:31
Fingerprint scanner, which is quick, and a camera, which I have to say
6:36
I'm a bit surprised by. I'm kinda buying into the hype a little bit right now
6:41
and I don't do that very often. If you want me to use this thing more extensively
6:45
I could do a challenge, I could throw a sim in, and we could figure out where this industry is going
6:49
Like, how good is this at this price point? And does it change the game enough to make you think twice about buying a premium phone at a premium price
6:59
