so you guys probably caught my video on
the note 10 note 10 plus it was just
like it was a hands-on first impressions
I had a short amount of time with those
devices actually didn't have a retail
version of the phone up until right now
so as you can tell in front of me it's a
note M plus it's in the box
it's factory-fresh and it got me to
thinking you know I'm and switch
smartphones in a while I had intentions
to I had a couple of different devices
come across the table as I maybe I'm
gonna switch to that well maybe I'm
gonna but the truth is as far as like
switching completely and shifting
everything over you know it's sometimes
you're a bit apprehensive sometimes
you're happy with the device that you're
on you just don't feel like switching
that has been this particular device the
oneplus 7 pro I just been like hey man I
love the display he's got the refresh
it's got the OLED it's got the bezel
this look I was enjoying using this
particular phone maybe the one thing
that's not especially standout on it is
the camera I think I'm probably gonna
see an improvement in the camera moving
over to this note but I'm just like it's
time to change
that's the job description you got to
try out all the different smartphones
and the best way to do it is to change
completely and exclusively and to put
the main SIM card into that next device
I'm gonna do the usual thing and of
course I've also gonna do the unboxing
here because my last videos I didn't
have the retail version so this one in
front of me is the aura glows with the
magical gradient on the back look at
that factory-fresh it's got the you've
got the plastic on there still you can
start to see that finish on the back
some people they don't like this that
much like I saw some people in the
comments I like oh that's that's gross
but like in all honesty the pictures and
videos you've seen of it that show it in
all the colors like that that's only in
a certain type of reflection that you
see that most of the time when I look at
it from here
you only get a small glimmer of that
color impact it mostly looks reflective
almost like a mirror that kind of mirror
look most of the time so I guess that's
important to put out there something I'm
excited for right away is getting
wireless charging back because most of
the devices are used leading up to this
one plus had wireless charging one plus
for whatever reason so reluctant to put
the wireless charging it when you got
the wireless charge you just you drop it
on something special about it you get
used to it you start
want it back and and of course this
device is gonna give me that back
alright let's do some fancy peels right
now because this is so fresh we can't
miss out so here we go
plastic off the back it's got a 4300
milliamp hour battery I'm interested to
see how that pans out in relationship to
the very big display and all the other
features like what what's my battery
life I'm looking at I expect it to be
good now one thing is for certain this
guy's gonna get fingerprints it's uh I
mean that's a magnet if I put in the
right light that's a lot of fingerprints
so I'm probably gonna look for some sort
of a case for this of course the pen has
some improvements on it I'm not sure how
big of a deal that's gonna be from me
because I'm not such a big pen user but
maybe I get back into it we'll see
things change times change so on it
ships with a fast charger I believe this
is a 25 watt fast charger this thing is
going to be capable of charging a lot
quicker than that
you can get it up to 40 watts I believe
is that correct well 45 Watts so there's
an optional 45 watt charger type-c cable
type C 2 C and then a microUSB to type C
adapter you gotta like having extras
there for Migration and whatnot now
granted this thing the note series no
longer has a headphone jack S series had
it and then it was kind of controversial
they're still gonna have it and they're
not gonna have it they don't and I know
some people are upset about that but I
guess as a consolation they gave you a
decent set of AKG earbuds that utilize
the type-c connector they could have
included some Galaxy buds I've heard or
some pre-order promotions that are gonna
include Galaxy buds and then of course
the other benefit with the Galaxy buds
is because this thing has reversed
wireless charging you can charge your
buds right on the phone I was not the
hugest fan of galaxy buds they were
alright but nonetheless you get a free
pair with interchangeable ear tips this
is an upgrade this is by AKG this is a
big upgrade on the typical included ear
buds so I'm glad they put it in
headphone jack would have been better
but you get this for a wired headphone
if need be that of course over on the
right that's a 1 plus 7 Pro you can see
because they hit the front-facing camera
in the motorized component that's what
you end up with screen to body ratio
this one over here in the other hand you
end up with the hole punch now
the hole-punch is shrunk down I said it
in my hands on video it's not as big as
it was on the s-series devices I liked
the fact that the whole punch on the
other ones was hidden up in the corner
where it's not real estate you typically
use anyways but there is something to be
said for symmetry as well from a design
perspective it's kind of pleasing and
it's smaller but of course the time has
come for me to switch device I got to
say goodbye to this one and I'm telling
you I really enjoyed I really had a good
time with it I really can't say much bad
about it particularly for the price of
course this one on the left gonna be a
few more bucks than the one that I'm
leaving on the right it's hard to know
it's hard to say that this is gonna
offer me up that extended functionality
that's worthwhile for the extended cost
so the SIM card comes out of this guy
over here okay moment has come now keep
in mind it's the main SIM card I'm not
one of these guys having multiple SIM
cards out there so all the phones are
running in the pockets at the same time
when I switch to another smartphone that
becomes my smartphone exclusively I
think it's the best way to test these
things you live your life with this new
smartphone and then you can report back
on sort of how you feel about it and now
with the new show downstairs the loo
later show which is longer form
conversational I feel like I can hit you
guys with updates along the way as I
transition to the daily life with the
latest note series in this case the plus
version of it I'm a note guy now
for the time being but I ain't gonna
stop switching I'll let you guys know
how it's going on that lieu later show
along the way you can also talk to me on
Twitter you can ask me if I like it or
not you can ask me if it's worth the
money but it is a lot of money
