hey everyone welcome back to android confidential where this week we are
talking about the upcoming android premium phones talking about the google
pixel three the LGV 40 and the huawei mate 20 all of which are going to cost a
bundle and you probably want one but wait what if it doesn't have to be that
way what if you don't need to spend 800 or $900 on a phone just to get the phone
that you want so before you spend all that money consider these three things
first so if there's one thing all the new phones coming out have in common is
that they're going to be the fastest and they're gonna have the most storage we
already see this with the Samsung Note 9 we got up to 512 gigabytes of space
inside the phone which is crazy and we have a snapdragon 845 processor which we
know is the fastest out there the pixel 3 is gonna use that as well the LGB 40
is gonna use that and Huawei is gonna use its own Kirin 980 processor which
will be just as fast probably a little bit faster if you measure it in
benchmarks that's awesome you know the kind of speed that we're able to put in
there in our pockets is just it's just mind-boggling but what are we really
using it for we text we use social networking we surf the web we email
those are the main things we use our phones for that's what we use them for
10 years ago we're not editing podcasts and video and
we're not you know working with with with giant images that we need all this
space that we need all this power if you get a cheaper Android phone you're gonna
give up you know you won't get a snapdragon a 45 i've got a snapdragon
600 or snapdragon 400 chip it'll be slower you'll still be able to
serve you'll still be able to use email you'll still be able to do things you
want to do maybe it'll take you a couple seconds less or more to do it it's okay
we don't need that kind of speed to get a good experience out of our phone and
Android phones have expandable storage if you have 32 gigs or 64 gigs and you
need more throwing an SD card it costs just 16 dollars so whether you buy the
pixel 3 or the pixel 3 XL or one of the other phones they're going to be getting
a big giant screen we're talking five and a half inches six inches six point
seven she's six point nine inches on the
huawei mate 20 that's crazy two years ago a phablet a giant phablet
was like five and a half and that was like the upper end of the spectrum and
now that's the small size do we need six point four inches the iPhone max X
whatever it is is six and a half and like I said huawei's is gonna be almost
seven seven I mean we're pushing the boundaries of what can fit in our pocket
what can fit in our hands and what we really need to use in our phones
what you know the text is is only gonna get so big and the things are going to
see so much on our phones we don't need to carry around small tablets in our
pockets anymore and resolution so if you buy a cheaper Android phone you're going
to get full HD maybe less 720p guess what it's not gonna look good
retina as Apple says when they introduced his whole term retina day it
was back then it was 300 pixels per inch for a phone that's held you know maybe a
foot foot and a half from your face so you wouldn't see visible pixels that's
the whole idea of retina you look at a screen and it looks like it you're
looking at on a piece of paper there's no visible pixels it doesn't have those
jagged edges 300 pixels per inch versus 600 pixels per inch is gonna look the
same to your eye you don't need 4 K 3 K even 2 K to have
a really nice-looking screen that shows great photos and looks it you can read
text and books and and comics and you know have it looked really good and the
last thing I'm going to talk about is how expensive these things are to fix
and to drop and the bigger they get the harder they are to hold I don't care how
big your hands are they're slippery you know why cuz they're made of glass
they're made of glass because we get wireless charging which is awesome and
you know we can throw them on those pads and or whatever and they charge without
having to plug them in which is a great feature but the the drawback is they're
increasingly more more fragile and listen I don't care if it's Gorilla
Glass 5 a girl got 6 or whatever the next one is its glass it's fragile if it
drops on concrete it's gonna break I don't care what it's wrapped in and
guess what you're gonna have to pay a few hundred dollars to get it fixed
companies are selling protection plans now Apple has an insurance policy
against theft and law for 300 bucks you know so now we're
having charges on top of charges on top of expensive phones it's crazy
consider a plastic cheap phone guess what if you lose it you can buy another
one and you're still paying less than you would have paid for you know pixel 3
or or aura or a V 40 or whatever what have you all right look I get it if you
spending another $900 $1,000 on a new Android phone you're gonna love it it's
gonna be great it's gonna be the Cadillac of phones walk down the street
and people are gonna look at you and want one but if you have a Honda maybe
you won't turn as many heads but it'll still get you where you need to go
you're still having you still enjoyed you still love it and guess what you're
not gonna need a protection plan and if you drop it you won't have a heart
