Stick in hole, feel the world

Whoa! So there's all kinds of new and exciting smartphones constantly hitting the market
0:12
The Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. Very shortly, we're gonna have the new Note series
0:18
And then beyond that, the new iPhone. But today, I'm bringing you a smartphone that you probably have no clue about
0:26
You've probably never heard of it. of it it's a Chinese phone it's from a company called Doogee
0:30
Dogey? Doogee? I ordered it straight from China I ordered it from Aliexpress but
0:36
it's emerging now and available on Amazon so this thing it's it's making
0:40
some moves here in North America and I think most of it has to do with the
0:44
ambitious design this one is unique and the best part of all this is that this
0:49
thing is around $200 this one is the Aurora blue and here we go we're off to
0:55
the races. Here's the device also in the package. Screen protector, cloth in there
1:01
and a case if you want to use it. Pretty basic plastic case. Now this device
1:05
happens to be glass on the front, glass on the back, Gorilla glass in fact. Stick in
1:10
hole. Feel the world, Jack. Tom come here for a second This is serious man Come here for a second Can you please for the people out there please just read what on the front of this Stick in the hole feel the world
1:29
Whoa! Wow! I don't think I've ever been this speechless in a smartphone unboxing
1:35
Stick in the hole, feel the world, and of course you can tell what the package is meant to look like, so..
1:41
This, look at what they included in here! You have your own little grip slash stand go on the back of your device
1:48
and that kind of pop socket grip effect. Micro USB, a power brick
1:53
It looks like we have the European one. The Anticipation. What I think might be one of the more interesting smartphones
2:00
that you've never seen or heard of. The Doogee Mix. Here we are
2:05
Ooh, check that out. The Doogee Mix. Ooh. Basically no bezel, a little bit of a chin there
2:16
You're telling me that's not a nice looking phone for 200 bucks? Fingerprint sensor on the front, an oddly placed front facing camera, we'll test that out in a moment
2:24
As I said, Gorilla Glass on the front and back, a dual lens system, your micro USB as well as your speaker and microphone
2:32
SIM card tray in this location over here, a traditional headphone jack as well
2:37
And once we have this display on you gonna have a much better idea of the effect of this bezel design Alright so let go ahead and add a fingerprint Let test out the fingerprint scanner here Okay sweet Look at that now Let test this fingerprint out Woooo
2:55
Pretty snappy! There's a pretty heavy skin on this unit. I mean, there's a little cat dangling around there
3:01
That's a very slick looking device. Around 200 bucks! Alright, now the next thing to be concerned with is the camera, obviously
3:07
This is the rear-facing camera. Kaboom! Pretty snappy there. I noticed there is a beauty mode for that forward-facing camera. Let me check that out
3:16
Now this is odd because you're used to looking up here at the top, the camera is down here
3:21
So that's gonna take some getting used to, but anyway. Dun-dun. There you go, Jack
3:26
What you've been waiting for. Dun-dun-dun! No bezel on the top. More to enjoy
3:33
I want to see how the dual lens thing is working here. So we have the selective blur kind of functionality
3:39
blur out the background and keep the foreground sharp. It's not the best implementation I've seen, but it is in there
3:46
A mono mode, panorama, and a pro mode where you have access to all the various camera settings you might want
3:53
Exposure, aperture, and so on. What is this little guy coming down? What do I..
3:59
I pull that down. It's themes, I think. This launcher is probably not for you, right
4:04
But that's the beauty of Android. Go in you hit the Play Store Okay so just like that Google now launcher always Continue And look at this I back in a very familiar place I pick YouTube throw it down there
4:18
Maybe I change the background. I have the Google Now Launcher. You have this device that you're gonna show off
4:24
People can be like, man, what are you using? What did you pay for that? You got the nice looking Android on there
4:29
In reality, you pick this thing up for a couple hundred bucks. Jack, look at that
4:32
Is that slick or what? That's a good look. I told you..
4:39
You know what I want? Cheap phones are getting much better. You're gonna get fingerprints, right? It's a glass back phone
4:46
That's gonna happen. The speaker, listen, the speaker is meh
4:56
Let's just do a quick comparison to the Galaxy S8. It's way louder
5:04
That's a lot more money. money. Your expectations, you have to adjust them a little bit for a $200 device
5:10
I think if you have $200 to spend on a phone and you want to own it outright and
5:15
you want it to be unlocked, I don't think you're gonna be disappointed. Just remember, wipe that software off. It looks like a high-end phone, it feels like a
5:22
high-end phone, it does not have a high-end price. This might be the coolest
5:27
phone that you've never heard about, but now you have, because of Unbox Therapy
