- Hey guys, this is Austin, and today on Mystery Tech,
something from the Telly Awards?
Yo, okay, okay okay. This...
The Telly Award 2018 "Is The iPhone X Worth It [4K HDR]."
What did you do?
- I sent an email, I said hey, we made a thing,
and then they were basically like, good job!
- So, we won an actual award for the iPhone X video?
- Yeah, we got a bronze award
which means we did pretty okay.
- [Austin] So, for those of you guys
who did not watch the iPhone X is it worth it,
that is a giant production we did last year
when the iPhone came out where we rented an Airbnb.
We shot the entire thing on amazing glass,
all mastered in HDR.
Wes and Ken put a lot of work into making that look nice
and now, there's a super shiny award to show it off.
The UlePhone Power 5.
Whoa!
13,000mAh battery?
Thirteen thousand?
Wait, what's this?
Umidigi Z2.
Oh, we got a double cheap smart phone.
Well, I'm assuming this is cheap, right?
What?
(Laughing)
Do you see how thick that is?
Okay, for reference.
This is an iPhone.
And this is the Power 5.
It actually, not gonna lie, kind of
doesn't look terrible.
This is going to be the heaviest phone I've
ever tried.
I mean you've got a USBC port, although
no head phone jack?
On a phone that's this thick?
Okay.
I mean we've got a 21 pixel sensor and
honestly, it's actually not that bad.
It's a touch soft but I mean that's not bad
at all.
I'm kind of torn with this one because
on one hand you're getting a phone that is
legitimately different.
It's so heavy. It's so thick. It's got
such a giant battery.
But on the other, does anyone want a phone
that's this big?
On the other end of the spectrum, we have the
Umidigi 2.
Yo, whoa!
Okay.
Well that's definitely a look on the back.
Hold on a second.
Wow.
That's actually super cool.
I don't know if you could see that on camera
but it totally changes color based on how
you sort of adjust it.
I can't even imagine two phones being more
different.
This is super small, sleek. It's got that cool
color changing back.
This is the giant brick that you use to ask
people for money. Threaten people for money.
You threaten people for money, that's right?
So wait, they're both about $250?
Aw man.
Okay, you know what?
Executive decision.
I'm going to spend some time with these.
Stay tuned.
Next item, please.
Letters? Oh wow. These are actual--
I don't want to show them 'cause they have
people's addresses on them but these are actual
real letters.
Oh, this one's from Hong Kong.
Building the ultimate Xbox 1x.
Whoa!
A letter straight from Hong Kong giving me
instructions on my next video? Alright.
I like this.
There's no name, there's no anything.
It's just an Amazon parts list with all the
things I need to build the ultimate Xbox 1x.
We actually should legitimately see if we can do
the Xbox 1x based on this.
Digital Projector. The Ape Man.
Mmmm. Not sure I like that name.
As far as a projector goes, it's hard to imagine
something being that much smaller than this.
Oh yeah, so it looks like it's going to be
fully portable.
At least based on first glance, it does look
kind of bright.
I mean, that's not bad. Although if we move it out
here, maybe not quite so much.
Let's not project on my hand. Let's find something
a little bit better.
I mean, for video it's not too bad as I watch a
Slack ad.
Alright.
You're gonna want to use this in a very dim
environment. And probably the smaller the
screen the better.
But, especially considering it's going to be
fully portable it's not that bad.
It's just kind of, well, small as you expect.
Alright, this looks very suspicious.
The Drowse Buster?
What?
Drowse Buster is a gadget that can be easily
attached to your ear lobes and provide a
comfortable massaging effect through a combination
of traditional Chinese medicine and modern smart
technology to eliminate your drowsiness and
prevent you from falling asleep.
(Laughing)
Wait, wait, wait.
It attached to your ear lobes and keeps you from
falling asleep?
I feel this is gonna be in the thumbnail, my friends.
So, we just pull it out like this.
Oh wow, that's it.
This is what attaches to your ear.
Is this going to shock me?
Wait, how does this work? Hold on, hold on.
I'm reading some more instructions.
I've been burned by this once too many times.
Whoa!
It's like little electrical like shocks to my ear.
(Vocalizing discomfort)
It's like...It feels almost like a vibration.
But it's like shocking me. I can tell, the hair
on the top of my ear is standing up.
It's not like...(grunts)
Okay, it actually hurts a little bit.
(Laughing)
Man, why does everything always having to be
shocking me?
I mean, you're not going to fall asleep with that
on your ear.
You're definitely not going to fall asleep.
I kind of want to try it again though.
So, gonna hit the button.
Oh, I could change the power.
Oh no.
AH!
That's a lot of power, okay.
Shouldn't have done that.
Ah!
