hey guys this is Austin 20:18 has been a great year for smartphones the pixel three is killing it on the camera side we've got the Oppo find X which might be the coolest design yet and we have the good old poco phone which at 300 ollars is kind of changed the game I just read this is a blue phone or a blue background does that look weird okay wait hold it in this hand the poco phone it's changing the game for real though this phone has changed the way a lot of smart phones are being sold right now previously the oneplus really was kind of like the standard of the sort of benchmark phone at a much cheaper price right so we get all the flagship specs but usually at a couple hundred a lot of discount however this year the poco phone is doing the exact same thing but it's something close to $300 while most phones at this price point have significantly slower internals and the flagship of the world that's where the poco phone definitely differs in sight it has the exact same snapdragon 845 processor as in the $1000 galaxy note 9 the battery again the exact same size as that note 9 even when you take a look at the design is fairly similar to the notch on the iPhone and well yes it is made of plastic when you consider that all this is coming in a phone that's just a little bit over $300 it is seriously impressive that's where this comes in the brand new Nokia 7.1 which at 3m $50 might just be able to go head-to-head the biggest difference here is in build so the polka phone does come in a couple configurations this is the armoured edition with the aramid fiber back and you also have the cheaper plastic but none of these really can hold up to the glass and metal of that Nokia I mean this looks so much nicer not only does it have that glass but it's also made out of aluminum and personally as far as I'm concerned it is a lot nicer right I mean sure they definitely spend a lot more of the budget on the build quality versus the internals but you spend all day holding the phone I do think that's an important consideration of course though none of this really matters too much if you put these phones in a case as much as I like the feeling of the Nokia it is a lot more fragile right if I drop the phone I'm gonna shatter the back more than likely where's what the poco phone might be plastic but if I scratch it whatever I guess not whatever but I don't have to replace the entire phone as opposed to this guy considering that both phones are pretty cheap the screens are not bad at all the poco phone is a little bit bigger although they're about the same resolution the main difference here is with the speakers neither of these phones sound all that great so the main issue is that they both have a single bottom firing speaker which is a little tinny and easy to cover but the good thing is is that they both have our friend Jack headphone jack that headphone jack is useful for the sponsor in today's video Maz drop in their excellent AKG M 220 Pro headphones D CL Smooth that was WOW I know right headphone jack approves please have quickly become some of my favorite headphones especially considered there right now on mass drop they're only $35 with a wide soundstage thanks to the semi-open design not only do they sound way better than you expect for the price but on top of that they're comfortable they're fairly lightweight they have replaceable ear cups as well as a cable it's a really really solid package really really and I just really saw it really really solid because I know adjectives and adverbs and thesauruses mass drop wanted to make a deal just for you guys so for the next 30 days you can pick these up for only $35 if you've been in the market for some decent audiophile grade headphones definitely be sure to go check them out the link in the description of this video the real difference between these two phones is in performance run them through Geekbench and you will see there is a massive lead for the poco phone it is really playing in a different league it also has the advantage of a heat pipe to help keep the foam cool while you're gaming and on top of that the Polka phone has more ran six gigs versus four there is this big of a real-world difference in performance as you might expect but it is very clear to me that the polka phone is a superior performer and that goes a long way especially want to use this phone for a few years it should be able to keep up it also helps that the polka phone has a significantly bigger battery forty thousand milliamp hours versus three thousand on the nokia now at this point it might seem like the polka phone is the very obvious winner but there's one key area that the nokia has over it and that is software so this is using shammies me UI on top of Android 8.1 which is a little bit of a skinned version of Android shall we say whereas this is completely stock version of Android 9.0 Pi and it is Android 1 compatible which means this is guaranteed at least two years of solid software updates where's the polka phone I mean it's got an update so far but who knows how long that will last now software can't be a subjective thing it may be might like some of the extra features the way that they've scanned the poco phone as far as I'm concerned I will definitely take stock Android any day and the very least I would want to put a launcher on the poco or back both have a similar setup with a 12 megapixel main camera as well as a depth sensor for portrait mode and for looking like you have two cameras on the back of your phone honestly both are totally usable but I will give a slight edge to the poco phone now that does it consistently give really nice and results right out of the box but on top of it I think a lot of people just will prefer the slight tuning of the images that poco is doing the nokia it looks fine but I do feel like I trust the poco phone just a little bit more and that goes especially in low-light the nokia does have a little bit of an advantage when it comes to selfies but as far as video goes again I'm gonna give it to the poco phone that 4k video actually looks really impressive at least here in the US both these phones are easily available on Amazon links in the description but the main difference here is that while the nokia does come with a warranty here the poco phone actually doesn't have any US warranty your results will vary based on what country you're in but that might be a deal-breaker for some people the build quality and especially the software is really impressive on the nokia but I have to give this one to the poco phone not only is it a great overall package both the hundreds of dollars you're gonna save versus a bigger more expensive flagship you could even buy yourself a pair of shiny new mass drop headphones available right now link in the description go check
