(joyous music)
- God (bleep), stop making me look ridiculous!
I do a good enough job with that by myself.
- [Ken] But people like the costumes.
- Do they though, does anyone like this?
Do you like watching me dressed up like a ridiculous Elmo?
Let me know in the comments below
right after you subscribe to the channel.
See what I did there.
I made people think I was gonna ask them a question
and I really just begged them to subscribe like usual.
- [Ken] Cool.
- Is this what girls feel like
when they're trying to put on like a really tight dress
and they can't reach behind them.
- [Ken] Yes.
That's very unsettling.
- Hiya, kids, I'm Elmo!
Oh boy!
- [Matt] I don't like that it's looking at me.
- So you know that whole thing about,
please subscribe to the channel?
You can unsubscribe now, I think it's time.
I can't see anything.
What is that?
- [Matt] Elmo wants some mystery tech!
Ken you, you got a review unit from Samsung, right?
This is a review unit
of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G, right?
- [Ken] Uh, yeah, a review unit, yeah.
- If I check the Amex, am I gonna see
a $2,000 charge on samsung.com?
- [Ken] I'm not gonna say no.
- [Matt] But I will.
So if you've listened to my fine podcast,
the Test Drivers available at relay.fm/testdrivers,
then you will know all about my obsession
with all things, folding, flipping, and rotating.
That sounds weird but,
I guess I'll have to talk about the Z Fold now.
That was very nice.
Very nice.
Here comes the real test.
Okay, all right.
So just like with the Galaxy Z Flip,
you can definitely see there is a crease, right?
And look, I find it to be okay.
It's not so bad on the Z Flip
even though it's right in the middle,
but this, I think it's a little bit more noticeable
because it definitely picks up the reflection.
Something else I've really noticed here
is just how smooth this thing is.
120 FPS does feel significantly better
than something like the Z Flip.
My head keeps falling but I'm not gonna let that stop me.
So the other thing that I think
is really interesting about this is the actual hardware
because it is thick and it is fairly heavy.
But you're actually getting something
for all that thickness, right?
So you actually get a fairly decent array
of cameras on the back, unlike the Z Flip
which is a little bit more of an old school design.
So you had two cameras, this actually has three
and one of them is the larger sensor camera from the S20.
It's hard to get your head around these
without spending time with them.
Because personally, I found myself really liking the Z Flip.
I liked the small form factor, I like the idea
that it doesn't take up a ton of space in my pocket.
And when I need more space, boom, it's right here.
But on the flip side,
the Fold is something entirely different.
The Fold is a device which is really meant to give you
that more tablet experience.
And yeah, sure, that could be useful
for something like watching video.
but also it can be useful for running a couple of apps,
similar to what you do on the Surface Duo,
and you'd have that running at a full 120 FPS
And unlike something like the Surface Duo,
you don't have those same compromises
of bad cameras and not enough performance and whatnot.
I mean, this really is kind of the,
the ultimate in high end flagship at the moment.
I would really say, I mean,
it is certainly not for everyone,
but there is a lot going for the Z Fold
you just simply cannot get on any other phone right now.
- [Ken] I would hope so for $2000.
- I would hope so.
I also hope you can take a guy in an Elmo seriously.
- You don't. - Sure can't!
- Ooh, is that a new item?
Oh boy!
Oh, what's this, Ducky Pocket.
What's a Ducky Pocket?
Is this like a keyboard thing?
Is this a calculator, wait, what?
Oh, wait, no it is a calculator!
- [Ken] Did you break it?
- Yo, this is a good idea.
This is a very good idea, okay,
so it shows up in the keyboard.
Oh dude, it's got RGB.
It's got RGB, my calculator has RGB, okay.
I'm in calculated mode now, so 69 plus 69 equals,
where's, wait, what?
- [Ken] That screen is actually pretty bright
for a calculator.
- [Matt] Make it say boobs.
That says...
What?
Sob?
Like what I do every night before bed?
- [Ken] Five, three, one, eight, zero, eight, there we go.
- Oh, look at that.
Ken Bollito with the glorious, glorious math.
Um, can I add 69 to this?
- [Matt] No.
- Look, if you want a really nice calculator, I get it.
As far as a little number pad, I mean it works.
I mean, I guess if you're like off connected to a laptop
and you want to have
like easy access to your keys, that's cool.
The fact that it has RGB seems a touch excessive,
but you know what, if you're an accountant who's also cool,
this is your item right here.
And if you're a YouTuber who's also cool,
then this is your item.
- [Ken] I think he really likes this thing.
- [Matt] As much as he complains about it.
- Hey, wait, that's my item.
Wait, this is my item.
You're taking it for Mystery Tech?
Typical.
In non Mystery Tech fashion,
I know exactly what is inside this box
because Gigabyte recently emailed me and like, hey,
we got this new monitor we want you to check out.
So I'm like, you know what?
Why, yes, I would like to check it out.
(Austin groans)
- [Matt] I feel like I should help you
'cause you're gonna drop that.
- [Austin] Thanks, Matt!
- And he still dropped it.
- You know, when Gigabyte said,
hey, we'll send you our super cool new monitor
I don't think this is what they had in mind.
- [Matt] You literally dropped it!
- So as I unboxed this fine product
that I have certainly not dropped on the floor,
what makes this special is on top of it being a KVM,
which is nice to have that integrated into the monitor,
It's also a proper gaming monitor.
27 inches, 1440p IPS, one millisecond response time
and it runs at 170 Hertz.
So let me attempt to show you
how this monitor is intended to be used.
So I will turn it on and theoretically,
I will be able to switch not only my inputs
between something like an iPad
and something like a windows laptop,
but I will also be able to move
my mouse and keyboard along with it.
So if you have multiple devices plugged into the setup,
everything will be able to be used
without having to plug and unplug things.
Oh my God!
- [Ken] You did not.
- I told you, you dropped it. - You did not, oh, you...
- I would like to formally apologize to Gigabyte.
- [Ken] Oh no.
- I didn't think I dropped it that hard.
I thought it was fine.
- [Matt] You dropped it from two feet.
- [Ken] You did drop it pretty hard.
- [Austin] I couldn't see, I was blind.
It was Elmo's fault, it was Elmo's fault!
Oh look, my mouse works.
I have an iPad mouse now, look, I'm gonna open up Twitter.
See, I can scroll through, look,
it works great, it works great.
I can, I dunno, search something.
Test, test, okay.
You know what, we're just gonna...
- [Matt] The Jennifer Lawrence gif,
really putting in work right now.
- All right, hit me with an item and make me feel better.
That is an iPhone 11 Pro,
what am I doing with an iPhone 11 Pro?
Oh my.
Water cooled mobile phone radiator.
- [Ken] Now I wouldn't like to point out
before you do anything. - Yeah?
This phone, is my personal 11 Pro Max.
Now don't get any ideas.
- Okay, I'm listening.
- [Ken] Don't break it.
- Look you've given me this phone
after you've seen what I've done.
So I take no responsibility for what happens
from this point forward.
Okay, so we have what seems to be an okay case,
it's a little dirty but, oh my god.
Okayay, so this is my pump, yep, that's my pump.
This is a terrible idea.
Jesus Christ, this makes me very uncomfortable.
Okay, are you ready?
We're about to water cool an iPhone
for no discernible reason.
Oh, look at that. - Whoa!
- Wait! - Yo!
- [Austin] Wait, is something actually happening?
- That's actually kinda sick. - What?
I mean, this is actually doing something right now.
We have actual coolant
very slowly circulating across the back of the iPhone,
which in theory will keep things cooler.
Look, man, if you want to Linus the (bleep) out of your life
then this is the device you need
to keep your phone running at optimal temperature.
If you want to be a sane normal person though,
buy an ROG phone.
Okay.
So this is an 8bitdo controller.
I've seen this, this is a little mini Xbox controller.
You realize this is for Android, right?
- [Ken] Yes.
- Not the iPhone that I have in front of me.
So I think this is really meant to be used
with Xbox Game Pass.
It's Xbox branded, you have full Bluetooth support.
But as far as I know this just works
as a standard Bluetooth controller.
Wow, that's actually really tiny.
You know what?
I don't usually like using mobile controllers on phones,
just because there's no real point
in carrying around a huge controller.
If I'm going to do that, I'd rather have anything else.
But this is actually small enough,
I might be able to get away with this.
Z Fold is not gonna fit in this, there's no way.
Wait, I think this oh, actually that does, that fits.
Nope.
- Too heavy? - You can tighten it,
Jesus Christ! - Oh my god, stop!
- So right now I am playing an Xbox One game via Game Pass
on my Android Z Flip
and that is being used through the controller.
I gotta say, this is a much better experience
than the water cooled iPhone.
Okay, this looks suspicious, Ken.
Voice changeable Bluetooth smart karaoke headset.
So is this like Tiktok in a box?
- [Ken] I guess so.
Okay, all right.
So this is a karaoke machine.
So essentially it comes with a pair of headphones
with a little microphone.
So you're supposed to put that in your ear like this.
I can basically change to a few different voices.
So this is dodge.
This is child.
This is also dodge.
This is KTV.
And this is what it sounds like with my normal voice.
I could get (bleep) paid for this right now, all right.
