- What's good guys?
Keaton here and I'm back at it again for another video.
I don't know where I would have gone.
Basically it's about to go down.
So if you have no idea what I'm
talking about the hype is real.
(swoosh)
- Oh, I've never been properly hyped.
(swoosh)
- I made this video a few months back
on a $125 fake iPhone 10 and I compared it to the real deal.
(swoosh)
You can definitely tell the fake one's white.
Whereas like the real one is silver.
(swoosh)
If you guys want to check that video out,
it's right up there in the iCard.
You guys crushed it.
The video blew up.
Thank you so much.
So basically how this goes down
is I have two Galaxy S9+'s in front of me.
This phone's not even out yet and I picked this one up,
I'll leave a link down below,
for around 90 bucks.
It's stretchin' from like 90 bucks to like 260 bucks.
So I'll leave the most cheapest pricing in the description,
if you want to pick one of these up.
You're gonna have to tell me.
Vote up in the iCard real quick
which one you guys think is real,
which one you think is fake.
Big thanks to Squarespace by the way
for actually sponsoring this video.
Link down below if you guys want a site.
It's super easy.
I'll tell you more at the end.
You should go to squarespace.com/techsmartt.
So vote up in the iCard
which phone you think is real,
which phone you think is fake,
number one
or number two.
One.
Two.
You're about to find out.
(beep)
I want to know one day, like do an intervention,
like how many peoples lives I've saved,
by making these videos.
They knew.
They knew when they showed up to that Craigslist deal,
they weren't getting scammed.
One day (laughs).
(beep)
Alright sweet.
So here we go.
Drop a like as usual if you guys want me
to keep this going with the latest devices.
So, I'll tell you guys which one is real
and which one is fake.
This one's fake.
This one's real.
Well, I mean obviously this one's real.
Like what other one would it be?
Like my iPhone.
(beep)
This one's real guys.
(beep)
This is the fake one.
This is the real one.
I want to just take a moment,
just so you guys can appreciate how
much detail has gone into a phone,
that has not even come out yet.
I got this like three weeks ago.
My boy Aaron, Mr. Whose the Boss hooked it up fatty style.
Look at this.
Just look at the detail.
Typically the S8 packaging was very similar to this.
So I thought this was gonna be the box.
They surprised us this year.
Big thanks to Verizon for actually hooking it up
with the S9.
Wouldn't have been able to do it without them,
so thank you.
Let's look at the back real quick.
So full specs are on this box here.
This is some carrier info.
That'll vary from country to country,
or if you get just a sim free version.
I mean I'm really excited here.
So let's open the box on the fake one first.
Just so you guys see what we get.
So, you lift it up.
Check the sides real quick.
You should see some like,
UPC coding.
Just basic bar codes.
If you're not seeing that,
could be a fake.
Just sayin'.
Comment down below how many differences
there are that I point out between
these phones and that you might see.
Whoever gets it right, I'll pin your comment (laughs).
So when you up this up it says Samsung right there.
And I've already opened up this fake phone.
Just letting you guys know.
Haven't compared it to the real deal yet.
So this is it.
Fingerprint reader is at the bottom.
It's like they knew it was coming out.
I think we all knew because of the leaks.
Showed you guys on Twitter in case you didn't see it.
What else we get?
Some headphones.
Wow they really got the branding down to a science.
So that is the fake phone.
Now, what I've really been waiting for
and I'm pretty sure what you've been waiting for,
what's in the real deal?
So to open this, oh!
I got surprised.
I didn't think it was a slide off box.
I don't know how else I'd get it off.
Ooo that's tight.
That's nice and tight.
Says Samsung like the other one did.
Oh!
Dude this phone is hot!
This phone is so hot.
Look at that.
S9+ baby.
In black.
(exhaling)
That's a mint phone.
I'm pumped to check that out.
What else do we get here?
AKG earbuds.
So you would be able to tell there.
USBC cable.
Nice little wall brick.
What would be nice Samsung,
'cause I know you're watching,
if you would just make that USBC so it's a C to C tip.
We'd like that.
(plastic flipping)
Oh that even sounds good.
Dude I'm stoked to check out this phone.
This is my first time like powering one on.
Man there are a lot of similarities
but immediately I see a few differences.
Alright.
Let's go and power these guys on.
Ooo.
Okay.
It says secured by Nox.
Powered by Android.
Check the fonts.
Then you see that like Samsung,
kind of like comicy font.
If you have a carrier, you have Verizon here.
Oh yeah!
Kool-Aid time man.
(swoosh)
- Oh yeah!
(swoosh)
- Swipe up.
What was my pattern?
I'll just look at it.
Perfect.
So here are the phones.
So immediately you can tell the difference.
This should have a 6.2 inch screen.
This does.
This is some fat bessels.
Just those black bars around the phone.
That's one huge dead giveaway.
Just look for that.
If you see fat chins, get out of here.
We don't want that around here.
It's not on the phones you want.
So you can see it's a little bit thinner.
The antenna bands are a little different.
Look at the speaker cut out.
It almost looks like a port.
Alright, so looking at the back.
We've got fingerprint reader.
Red below the cameras.
That looks like it has a true flash.
That one looks like it's lackin' a little bit.
Sim slot is on the
right so were good there.
Then we have our Bixsby button.
Bixby's kind of cool.
I haven't really checked him out yet.
I'm more into like Siri you know.
Alexa.
You catch my drift.
(clapping)
So now that we've become friends
with the phones let's jump into them.
See what makes 'em similar.
See what makes 'em different.
We're gonna get to the bottom of it.
Like nothing can fool me.
I am a pro at finding the differences.
So let's swipe down.
Well I mean that's a difference.
Look at the settings.
A lot more options with the real one on the right side here.
Just keep that in mind for the video.
Let's check out,
camera.
This is where you find out.
And dude the Galaxy S9's
second camera with that 1.5 aperture,
I'm excited to test it out in low light.
Make sure you keep it locked on the Instagram.
I'll post some pictures over there.
Oh.
Dude that looks so clean.
Alright, let's go for the selfie.
Alright so just look at the menus real quick.
You can tell
which one's real and which one's fake.
You have a lot more options on the real one.
Selfie focus, selfie AR emoji, wide selfie.
You have a lot of options.
Oh my dude this camera.
Wow.
This is just not safe.
Click off if you guys can't handle this.
Dude I think I'm in love with myself.
Should I unzip it a little more?
(laughs)
Wow.
That's some clean photos.
Alright let's pfft no.
This looks awful.
I look way too zoomed in.
Still look good though but not as good.
(camera flashing)
Alright cool.
Let's try with the rear camera.
Oh dude.
This phone!
Oh my this phone!
Well, we lost a lot of the detail,
on the rear camera.
Yeah I think we all know here
just take a picture if you're on Craigslist or whatever.
You'll see real quick (laughs).
(swoosh)
Another thing that's really big on
the Galaxy S9 this year is intelligence scan.
So, let's check it out on the fake.
See if it's there.
See what it's called at least.
And this phone came out before the real one so,
I know Ev's just as curious as I am here.
So security scroll down.
Not really seeing anything.
Screen lock.
Then we have iris unlock.
That's pretty much it.
Let's check it out on the real one.
Settings.
Lock screen and security.
Iris scanner, face recognition, intelligence scan.
So, that's a no.
Let's see what iris unlocks about.
I'm guessing it's something with your eyes.
Probably is.
So on the fake one it prompts me to just place my two eyes,
near the phone.
Alright, now with intelligence scan.
Smarter way to verify.
Hold your phone eight to 10 inches away from your face.
I look so good on this camera.
Closer to the face.
Of course.
10 to 14 inches away.
Sweet.
More face time.
Oh now you want my eyes?
Look at that sensor.
Oh alright I think I, yep I failed.
(calm music)
Irises registered.
Turn on.
So basically when I lock these phones,
the fake one.
To look at,
swipe up.
(calm music)
It grabs my eyes and were in.
On the real S9,
(calm music)
I just look at it.
Nothing prompts.
Try that again.
I want to see this.
Wow.
I don't want to say it's a face ID killer,
it's definitely competitor though.
(swoosh)
So big thing on the S9 is the screen.
You want your screen to look good.
And when you're doing a Craigslist deal,
it's pretty easy to tell if a phone's real
or if it's not just by looking at it.
Like it's not super hard.
Common sense definitely comes into play.
So on the real S9, you can just tell
the differences immediately between
the fake, the real, the brightness.
These are at full brightness.
And a big thing on the S9+ is the screen.
Just look at how beautiful it is.
6.2 inches.
Quad super amoled.
I wish it was OLED.
That would be the moves.
But let's just watch a video.
Let's compare.
We're gonna watch some ads.
(calm music)
- Hi grandma.
It's me B (laughs).
- My uncle (laughs) gave me the nickname Sneaky Pete.
I was a sneaky kid.
Looking for the shortcut--
- [Keaton] Doesn't look bad on the S9 fake.
I got to be honest.
Colors definitely show.
Detail really shows in the S9+, the real one.
That's to be expected.
I mean this is like 90 bucks.
Wow.
I am shocked.
I didn't think it was gonna look this good.
Definitely it's at 80p.
I don't know who makes it though.
Wow I'm gettin' pumped.
Imagine Dragons are pumpin' me up.
I'm excited like I want to keep goin'.
I want to show you more about these phones.
(swoosh)
But of course there's got to be at least some gimmick.
Apple drops face emoji with the iPhone 10.
So what does Samsung come up with?
AR Emoji.
I don't know if it's a gimmick yet.
I want to try it out.
I'm not one of those people to write something off
before trying it.
We'll see what's on the S9+.
No way they knew about this.
Goin' in here.
Do we have any modes?
Setting.
That is a no.
That is a no to the modes.
Alright on the real S9+,
look at all these modes here.
It reminds me so much of the iPhone.
But they just put it at the top 'cause why not?
So let's see what this is about.
Create my emoji.
What am I about to go into.
Okay.
So I see just myself.
Remove glasses.
Alright let me just get the hair goin'.
Look at that Ev, we're about to make an emoji.
(calm music)
What if I selected female?
Like how would I turn out?
They're basically making a human as we speak.
Yeah.
Yeah!
Yeah you know...
Alright guys.
So I'm with my boy JD and Ev right now.
Real talk.
Do we think it looks like me?
No shot JD says.
Ev?
Ev alright thanks bud.
Make my face a little bit more pal.
Now we're gettin' some color.
Now (laughs).
What?
No.
Hard pass on that one.
Yeah invert my eyes.
Sounds good.
Alright, AR emoji's kind of cool.
Save emojis?
Oh.
I mean it's cooler than just emojis talking.
Well done Samsung.
And dude this camera.
Oh dude.
Try out the back camera again.
It just looks fire.
(swoosh)
Alright.
You heard it here first.
The S9+ is a definite win.
When you show up for these Craigslist deals,
here's three things you got to keep in mind.
Check the displays.
See if there's fat chins.
We don't want fat chins.
Flip it over to the back.
Make sure there is a fingerprint reader under the camera.
There's a lot of S8 fakes floating around still.
And then hop into the actual phone.
You know turn it on.
It'll be like five minutes.
No big deal.
And go into camera.
And tell me what you see.
Take a picture.
If any of you guys actually do this
and encounter anything sketchy,
let me know on Twitter.
I'm just Techsmartt.
I would love to hear about it.
It happens.
Funny story.
So I had a guy last week.
I was tryin' to pick up a 30 inch
cinema display.
Like one of the old Apple ones,
for 250 bucks here in LA.
So, I came in at 225.
He said that was fine.
But didn't recognize my phone number
'cause I'm out of state.
I'm from Chicago originally.
So basically,
he's like, send me a selfie.
So I send him a selfie which is like
really strange to do in a Craigslist transaction.
And he's like,
bro I'm still sketched out.
I was like I have the money.
Sent him a picture of the cash.
My face.
I was like I'm drivin' to the location.
It was an hour away.
I was like 30 minutes into the drive.
And like midway I'm like,
you know what I'll text you off my LA number.
No big deal.
Like if that makes you feel better.
And he's like, whoa bro.
I use an LA number for sketchy stuff too.
And basically said, his gut feeling was not with it.
And blew me off.
So.
That happens.
