- So you guys know there are a bunch
of smartphones coming out.
I know Kyle does, Kyle's a new guy around here,
he's on camera.
There are a bunch of smartphones coming out
and oftentimes, you're gonna find a smartphone
that is killer and at a pretty cheap price.
With the iPhone 10 costing $1000,
chill out, this isn't the real one here,
a lot of videos are coming up on that too,
you guys have probably already seen a bunch.
It's kind of a deal-breaker,
thousand bucks for a phone that's alright,
these phones here, not only have you haven't heard of them,
but they have some pretty sweet stuff.
So if you guys wanna check out any of the phones mentioned,
I'll leave a link down below.
We got the Meizu Pro 7,
the Umidigi S2, this is my favorite out of the bunch
and I haven't even checked them out yet,
and then the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2.
You have have probably seen 'em, and let's do it.
We got the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2,
I saw the Mi Mix 1, or the Mi Mix OG, whatever it's called,
and I really wanted to check it out.
Now that I got the Mi Mix 2 here, we're chilling.
Let's open this up.
This goes for $550 bucks.
Vote up in the iCard which phone
you guys think is the most worth it.
I'll let you know at the end of the video.
Alright, standard accessories,
we get any freebies or a case?
Sometimes with these phones,
you'll get like a freebie, a case, a screen protector.
Oh my, wait a minute, wait a minute.
I was just distracted.
Kyle stop distracting me.
We get a free case, that's nice, that's nice.
You don't get this.
Apple doesn't wine and dine you.
Whoa, this phone is feeling good.
Right off the bat, it's a fingerprint magnet.
I think it's glass on the back.
I know there's a pro version of this
and I'm pretty sure it's made out of ceramic.
It's like some limited edition stuff.
This thing's got 4 gigs of RAM, 64 gigs of storage,
and a bezel-less screen.
That's the cool thing about all these phones,
the screen on them - bezel-less.
Nothing fat like your iPhone 8 here with these stick bars.
No, bezel-less.
So let's check this out.
Powered on now, we got the speakers at the bottom,
USB-C, that's good.
At least we're all going to that.
None of this micro-USB stuff, get it outta here.
We gotta make some changes, one port.
So the phone's all powered on now,
and whoa, it feels amazing
having a six-inch bezel-less display.
The only really bezel here is on the bottom.
It fills the entire screen, I like this.
And what's interesting is this year on the Mi Mix,
we have an actual speaker port right up there,
whereas last year it would vibrate through the display.
Kind of interesting, I like it.
I'm messing with it.
This looks great, like this really looks great.
And what's crazy is, I don't know
if you can see this too well,
but the front-facing camera is actually at the bottom
'cause they don't have enough room to put it at the top.
So, we're gonna try out the camera right now.
The back-facing camera, it looks pretty good.
Got a picture of my main man Ron back there.
The front, this is where it gets interesting.
You have to be careful about not having
like your hand cover it up accidentally.
It's one of those things that like,
you'll actually probably end up doing.
Camera's right in there like my palm,
kinda gets in the way a little bit.
Oh no way, on the front, it's guessing my age.
Can you see that?
Age 27, 22, whoa, how old do you think I'm lookin'?
And the way I tilt my face,
it's guessing my age based on my facial expressions.
I saw it 19 to 22, I'm feeling pretty young and groovy.
Let's try to take a picture.
Do you see?
Like when I go at least to put my thumb
on the shutter button, it reaches across
and covers the camera.
Alright, I don't wanna cover the camera up.
Okay, I guess we're gonna be taking photos
with our left hand now.
It's like I'm looking at the top
expecting it to be, like, eye-level,
but I need to look down.
That's kinda weird.
Vote up in the iCard along the way
which phone you guys think is the most worth it.
This phone is definitely interesting
and the fingerprint reader on the back,
check this out, this is lightning fast.
Ready, I just rest my finger down, and boom, I'm in.
That's faster than touch ID.
And I know I said earlier this phone's got four gigs of RAM,
it's got six actually, and for $550 bucks,
this phone feels powerful.
This thing's a badass.
Next up is the Meizu Pro 7.
This thing goes for $350 and what's cool about it is
it has a six inch screen, just like the Mi Mix.
It's running Android 7, and what gets even crazier is
there's a bonus on the back.
So let's open this up, so let's see how this goes.
$350 bucks, let's see how this fares.
Okay, so, on the front, looks like your standard phone.
We get any goodies?
I always have to look.
I feel like we're gonna get something.
They hook it up, these Chinese companies, they hook it up.
You get a case?
No case, so sad.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
I almost wrote it off, no, no, no.
Of course we get a case.
Whoa, that looks crazy.
And as you guys can tell,
there's like this weird cutout on the back
'cause there's actually a second display
right underneath the rear cameras.
What is this in here?
A VIP card, okay?
I think that's like their warrentee card?
(laughter)
Honestly guys, like these phones, they just showed up.
I thought all of 'em would be bezel-less,
it's taken me like a moment to realize
this phone isn't bezel-less.
This is pretty much like my iPhone 8 Plus here,
you got some pretty thick bezels at the top.
Also, this a 5.2 inch screen, so just keep that in mind.
Okay, let's just jump on into it.
We got USB-C at the bottom.
(creepy music with evil laugh)
I almost forgot, a headphone jack.
This phone's looking pretty sweet.
Alright, let me turn this thing on.
It's looking good, it feels good.
It's made out of metal on the back.
It's got a nice feel, doesn't feel too cheap.
We got a home button, that's a luxury in 2017.
Looking at you iPhone 10.
I'm just learning this now,
the rear display not only shows the time,
think you might have caught that,
but it actually shows the camera, the viewfinder.
It's right back here.
You can get it, you can actually see what you want to take,
and then you just take it with the volume buttons.
That's groovy.
And it looks really good too,
that's like a high quality display there.
Yo, I like that.
I wanna try out the fingerprint reader on here,
I think it's gonna be good.
Alright, that was not bad.
Was it as fast as the Mi Mix?
If you want the best fingerprint reader,
the Mi Mix 2's gonna be your go-to here.
And I know that, and we haven't even seen the third phone.
This phone is pretty much like the old iPhone 6.
Got your headphone jack, USB-C, even better,
thick bezels, they got it.
Let me customize the screen of the secondary display.
Notification management, that's sweet.
I won't be seeing when my girl's calling, that's clutch.
Rob, you don't want, when your girl's calling you
you don't wanna know half the time.
You don't need that noise dude.
Dude you don't need that noise,
that is what you're learning.
So you just double tap to wake it, that is sweet.
Pedometer it shows you, this phone's got everything.
I don't know how accurate that is, in fairness.
That's awesome, let me take a picture on the rear camera.
For some reason, I'm not messing
with the watermark down here.
Taken with the duel camera.
What is that?
(scary strings playing)
This phone's $350 bucks, it's aight.
The last one that just came in, this has got me hype.
This is the Umidigi S2.
This thing goes for $200 bucks
and what's really cool is six inch display, low-res,
but $200 bucks, and like the world's fattest battery.
5100 mAH, this thing will last you two days, no problem.
Link to the world, I feel in touch with the world right now.
I'm feeling good.
Even better, there's a case put on there.
I love the freebies.
Charger, this is a nice box set-up.
Apple, takes some notes.
- We've got a chicken.
(chicken squawking noises)
- Ooh, we get the included 3.5 USB adapter, always nice.
Oh wow, now we're chilling.
So this is kinda one of the semi-bezel-less displays.
It's a six inch phone and like the Mi Mix,
it occupies most of the screen.
Like, I'm comfortable with these kinds of bezels.
The Mi-zu Pro is just like, the Mei-zee-u,
that's how we're saying it, the Mei-zee-u Pro.
It's got the thickest out of 'em here.
Alright, this is kind of wacky.
Now that the S2's on, it has a six inch display,
it's not 1080p, and the only reason I mention this
is because it matters when it's like, a lower res display.
It's a 720p one, and normally, I wouldn't say anything
but you can definitely tell if you look
just a little closer at your phone.
Also, this being so large, it's weird.
It got an 18:9 aspect ratio, so it's really long,
and that's kinda how the iPhone X is doing it too,
the iPhone 10.
Since it's got a 5.8 inch display,
it's gonna feel like you're using a 4.7 inch iPhone.
Like pretty much an iPhone 6, iPhone 7, or the iPhone 8.
Weird, alright, I like it.
Let's check out the camera.
Oh, yeah, that front-facing camera.
No good, no good.
Let's check out the back one.
Rob, whatchu thinking?
Get some poses in there man.
We're shooting in the light, so it's like, it's alright.
It's capturing detail the best it can.
I mean, this is the cheapest phone on the list, $200 bucks.
Check out that fingerprint reader.
Alright, fingerprint's pretty slow.
The Mi Mix 2 though is the fastest out of all these.
Then I'd say the Meizu, and then the S2.
Okay, so all these phones are pretty interesting.
We got the S2, and the Pro 7 both made out of metal
whereas the Mi Mix has like, more of a glass feel.
This is a more powerful one,
obviously, 'cause it costs more money.
It's no competition at that point.
The best one to get though, in my opinion,
has got to be the S2, $200 bucks, six inch display.
What's crazy is the battery on this thing
is gonna last you two days, two days of heavy usage.
If you guys need a phone, a secondary phone,
someone to give a phone to, give 'em this.
They're gonna like it.
(applause and award sound)
So guys, that's pretty much it for this video.

was the most worth it, and I'll see you guys later.
