hey guys Chris here back with the vivo NEX s so this is the flagship model the
old screen model you could say and of course it's got that pop-up camera if
you've seen my unboxing that's where I'd go into a lot of depth of the phone and
show you all about that I just wanted to give you this video as an update on
battery life because so many people commented where's the battery life you
missed out on the better life yeah I covered everything apart from battery
life because of course I needed time to test that but now that testing is all
over and I'll just show you the result so not bad at all so far now I haven't
made any voice calls on this current cycle I'm doing it has been on wireless
the whole time so take that into consideration there when you look at
these times so screen on time of 10 hours and 33 minutes is not bad at all
considering I had the brightness set to about 40% rather bright and my use this
remember is just a guide I'll show you that I do believe you're gonna get at
least two days but there so it's quite good now they don't show your typical
Android battery settings in here so you can't actually see that graph but you
can look under the power consumption ranking and it will at least list the
apps excuse me so revolution you can see right up there
at the top Android system normally is at the top there so that was almost three
hours there that I was playing this game because I had it on the auto fight mode
so living it up my character is something they do with a battery test
and that way it's a good way to simulate battery consumption of someone gaming
that whole entire time because it is no different and you'll see that also
played YouTube was going for quite some time too that was about an hour on
combat 5 was over an hour as well so you get their idea this is what I would
consider to be more heavy used differently heavy use and it's holding
up a lot better than I thought because I just assumed that oh this large screen a
bright screen it's not going to be that great on the battery but it turns out it
is so one thing that wasn't covered in the review I covered a lot in the
unboxing oh it's not even a unboxing it is really a review so 4G speeds let's
just test that right now and now I'm with orange and I found orange to be
rather poor but I have noticed with this phone that the signal strength because
I'm sitting right here inside of course is quite
good other phones will be down to about two bars this tends to be about a bar
more and they're not just found that the the wireless speeds the 4G speeds and
everything to be really really good so this is a definite flagship mobile phone
when it comes to that kind of performance now these speeds here this
slow but for orange here they're actually okay in not bad because with
any other phone no test it's going to always be about this which is rather
disappointing for LTE so the battery life is solid the build quality solid as
well this is a good phone that really only has two weaknesses every phone's
going to have something and that would be of course the fact that the ROM there
is some Chinese in it it takes a little while to get used to and it seems that
they don't want you using a third-party launcher and to set it as default as the
home for your launcher which is disappointing other manufacturers will
actually give you that option then you can override it so every time I run nova
launcher but then you go to swipe up and go home using the gestures of course it
goes back to the vivos launcher there so that's really the the corner that is not
a major now the cameras the one on the back here okay I feel that could have
done something a little bit better here with the cameras it is a good sensor
it's just a little bit poorly optimized again check out my review of this mobile
phone if you want to see the camera samples but it tends to over saturate
definitely when it comes to bright colors so like a rose a red rose it's
going to completely blown out oversaturated and clipping with the
colors the front selfie cam that's actually not too bad I will show you
there we go come on pops up and it sometimes it gets in the way so if
you're holding the phone like this and you want to take a photo then yeah it'll
pop out and it can get in the way a little bit and it's just a little bit of
a well factor there you could say and I know that other manufacturers are soon
to be surely copying that because it seems that it's going to be quite
popular the display is just so immersive it really gives me that me mixed feeling
to it the me max as well because it's just a big huge display and now I didn't
do a size comparison so I will just show you now because I do have some phones on
hand what it is like so here is the max - you
can see that it is a big phone because the max - okay that 6.4 inches this is
six point five nine but we've got a different aspect ratio here so 18 by 9
and then of course 16 by 9 and I do have the 1 plus right here so the 1 plus 6
you can see as well the difference there with the the sizes and I did actually
record this and it was going to go into the unboxing review you could say that
in depth video that I posted but it just became too long and next to the 1 is
this actually ok there we go I've got so many phones on hand so this is the 6x
you can see it's just as tall as the sexiest which is a tall phone that's the
18 - bit ratio so size wise considering the slim down the bezels they're
actually fitting in a lot of screen into the size so for some people yes it's
going to be a little too big here's the me 8 the me 8 is definitely a
little bit shorter they're shorter there so it's good and yeah as I mentioned
that the bulk will t really quite good and I'm where I am actually working
towards the review of the me 8 so don't worry people asking me out you're not
going to review it I am gonna do the full review it's just that I have so
many devices on hand at the moment and one other thing too is the performance
of this phone maybe the roms not that great but it is
well optimized and because of the 8 gigabytes of RAM it's just so so quick
gaming is an absolute joy with the screen and what the performance we're
getting out of it it's just the fastest now I have tested now this is about the
fourth I think it is neptr again eight four five device or the third no the
fourth and okay synthetic benchmarks don't always explain everything but just
gaming you do notice how smooth it is and the score is absolutely insane
really really good the highest I have seen so it just goes to show you that
this is a super powerful phone and just an absolute joy to game on so overall
this phone to me is getting a definite thumbs up battery life is there
everything is pretty much there and the cool quality I'll mention that again I
have made some more calls with this that was yesterday before I started the
battery life test and there's nothing actually wrong with it it doesn't sound
it's not okay like a traditional earpiece it sounds a little bit
different you get more it's quite funny they get more vibration of the person
talking against your ear and your face but other than that this is a solid
great phone highly recommended from me thank you so much for watching this
video.
