So today's review is a little bit different. We have a very peculiar device right here
as you see is quite thick. It is quite big as well because it's a different device, it's
called a serval R 25 Now, it does not have any special functions when it comes to the
software, but the hardware is what's special about this device. Number one, do not expect
this device to be very pocket friendly. It's essentially a power bank, and also it has
an extra surprise, which is that it has bluetooth headphones here at top, so if you wanted to
have Bluetooth headphones in your phone, you don't want to carry a different case for your
air pods, for example, then this is a very good device for you. Now the device has the
bluetooth headphones here you're just able to, you know, snap it pretty quickly, and
then you take the bluetooth headphones and you put it in here, they actually work with
the device and you can pair them with a different device as well. The cost of the device, it's
a little bit on the high side but when you really take into account what you're getting,
you're not just getting a phone, but you're getting also the bluetooth headphones, and
you're getting a massive power back. So the device has a output, it does not only have
an input in order to charge and refill the battery which by the way, if you use it just
as a phone. It will definitely last more than two and a half weeks. I left it on standby
for about a week and a half and it only depleted, About 5% of the battery that's on standby,
of course you're making phone calls and if you're doing everything else, you will drain
this battery but I'm pretty certain that you can get this phone to last for a month. Now
the phone again in the software side of things, that's not how anything special, but it does
have the basics as calls, which works only on GSM networks here in the United States,
I tested it with T Mobile, it works on 2g As of right now, of course next year that
may change. And it also works with at&t only with the NBN Oh, though, I was not able to
get it to work on at&t postpaid, of course, they always blocked the IMEI. Now it doesn't
work on Verizon, only on GSM networks, this device is actually a better device for somebody
outside of the United States, somebody that has access to 2g networks, and that has the
little bands for 3g that this device supports, but essentially this device, it's kind of
like an all in one. If you want a power bank to charge all the other devices that you have
and you want bluetooth headphones with it, then, you know, this is a good device for
you. Phone calls work decently well, text messages. Do not text messages has that old
system, our inbox and outbox, it does not have a thread messaging system so it's not
super reliable, and of course you're not going to expect her messages, either with this device.
It does have a browser, although I wouldn't use it, it doesn't work very well. It only
works with 2g GPRS, essentially, that kind of connectivity that is quite old, but the
device is quite fun to use and whenever you pull it out in the streets, then people start
kind of looking at you because, hey what's going on in here. It does not have Wi Fi but
it does have bluetooth. Of course the Bluetooth connections with the headphones, but that's
about it. The device has calendars notes, and a couple of extra little features for
listening to music, but that's about it. And of course, it doesn't have a 3.5 millimeter
headphone jack, because of the bluetooth headphones, it charges the bluetooth headphones very well,
and it also charges your other devices very well. So if you want a power bank, that can
also make phone calls and charge your Bluetooth headsets, then the servo R25 is the device
for you. Now, it was fun to use this device because of the different operating system
it's using proprietary system based on thread x, if I recall correctly, that's the name
of the operating system. But also, it's, it's running just very, very quickly, it's not
having a lot of bogs down since you're not using it for getting into media or listening
to a lot of videos on YouTube, you're just listening to native music that you have on
the SD card, you can have dual Sims on this device. And also you have the ability to,
again, just create a couple of things here and there with the calendar the nodes. So,
the device is just very basic, but it lasts forever. If you want a device that's pretty
much indestructible, then this might be it. The camera on the back is nothing stellar
but it does work, and of course it has a flashlight, which is quite big for this device. Now the
fun part is taking it out and seeing the reactions from people. But honestly, it depends on what
kind of functionality you're looking for you or me, a power bank to charge other devices,
like a tablet or something like that, or you need bluetooth headphones that come accompany
with your device of choice which is the circle R 25 Then, I think it's not a bad idea to
buy this device. It retails for about 60 to $100 Depending on where you get it, I got
mine from AliExpress, and I was able to get it shipped it cost me about $60 Plus shipping
so about $75 Again, not the most expensive device but they run a lot of sales, says this
device is a little bit older now, And it's just fun to use. Again, if you're looking
for something different, or you're looking for a power bank that also serves as a emergency
phone let's say for example, then this device is actually very useful because it will never
run out of battery, again, you can use it for a very very long time. I think the battery
on this thing is about 6000 or 5000 milliamp hour battery. And honestly, if you were using
it maybe as a emergency phone, I think this device is good because it lasts forever, or
you need a power bank for whenever you know signal goes out or you know you just are in
the middle of a trip to the mountains. I don't know, I'm trying to think of different usages
for this device. But if you just want to take something that's pretty much indestructible
to a trip, and still have the convenience of Bluetooth headphones, then server R25 is
for you. If you have any questions about this device, or any of the other devices that I
have reviewed, make sure to put it in the comments below. Thanks for watching this video
and I'll see you in the next one.
