I've got a bunch of smartphones in front of me and I can't say that I mind
0:03
One of the great privileges of this particular profession is the ability to try out a completely absurd number of smartphones
0:11
So I'm going to give you a little bit of history right now on what I have been gravitating towards
0:16
the phones I've been using and what I'm about to do. Which is drastic
0:21
In front of me here I have my various daily driver smartphones for the past little while, the past few months at least
0:27
I've got them in chronological order. of when they occupied my pocket
0:32
On the far left, I have the Galaxy S8, which I put my SIM in, so I got my hands
0:37
on the Galaxy S8 when it came out, enjoyed the phone, it had its own sets of positives and negatives
0:43
I switched over from that device to one that I actually didn't show you guys
0:47
Unfortunately, I never got around to making a video. The active version of the S8, an AT&T exclusive device
0:55
which increases the battery life up to 4,000 milliamp hours. Now you know I'm a big fan of big batteries
1:01
Otherwise, it's essentially the same. Granted it has this alternative body on it kind of like having a case on your phone It has a shatterproof display which sounds good but it actually made it more prone to scratches so i ended up with a tiny little not the worst scratch in the world what it gives you in flexibility when you drop it you give up a
1:20
little bit in hardness one of the things that i didn't like very much about these phones is the
1:25
fingerprint scanner maybe this was the only place they could put it but maybe they could change the
1:29
shape? I don't know. But I never really had ultimate confidence in this location, in the shape of it
1:36
If you're using a case, a little more finicky to get your finger in there. Of course, you touch the
1:40
lens. There's a giant fingerprint on the lens right now. Otherwise, an awesome phone. But then
1:45
the Pixel comes out. The Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL. We're talking about the Pixel. I've got a bunch of them
1:51
in front of me. If there's a new OS Android 8, I'm like, I gotta use it. I enjoyed this. I mean
1:56
Again, not without its issues. The color shift on the display, probably not the nicest OLED display of the bunch
2:03
An almost entirely plastic build, which you may or may not like
2:08
Lots of positives too. The forward-facing speakers, not a thing that we see on these other two devices
2:13
It feels really nice to type on. The camera is very nice From there I tried out this thing that was so different you probably caught the video I was very complimentary of this device the razor phone in an age of bezel
2:28
smartphones they were like who cares and what we're going to do is put the best speakers ever
2:33
in a smartphone in this smartphone it's the best speaker I've ever heard on smartphone and that's
2:38
what they did and because of that I was compelled to move my sim over and give it a real shot the
2:43
multimedia. I'm enjoying it. I'm really liking the fingerprint scanner, the location of it on the
2:48
power switch, the noise that it makes when you unlock. Very Razer-esque. But then you look at
2:55
the camera and I believe I've got some level of preliminary software on here. So my confidence
3:00
is not a hundred percent yet considering this phone hasn't shipped and regular users aren't
3:05
using it yet. But also majorly important, a 4,000 milliamp hour battery, the same as the S8 Active
3:12
So that brings me to the end of this lineup, and you probably already noticed sitting there is an iPhone 10 a phone
3:19
That has had a split reaction Some people think it the greatest thing Apple ever made others are critical of the notch and the software the fact that it not a hundred percent Optimized yet But of course we are talking about Apple flagship and the camera so far has been phenomenal
3:36
But the iPhone and Apple in general is a source of major influence in the tech space
3:42
I feel a responsibility to give you guys as much feedback as I can to dive in more deeply
3:49
to find out what's good, what's not so good, and what might even be bad
3:53
So today I am switching to the iPhone 10. Something you probably noticed here is this is a lineup of Android devices
4:00
So this is kind of a big deal. I will be using the iPhone 10 exclusively as my daily driver for at least one week
4:07
At which point I will come back here, I will sit here, and I will give you the one week later report
4:12
Jack, show the people. Cue the music. Bye-bye Android. Hello, iPhone 10
4:19
The SIM card is in. This is my new daily driver device for at least one week
4:25
I have officially switched to the iPhone 10 and I will hold nothing back
4:30
One week from now, the truth will be here and only here
4:34
So subscribe if you haven't yet and stay tuned
