nothing like a package straight from China to tell you that it's going to be a good video hey guys Zhou stain and this is a $160 iPhone 10 clone the description of goods here listed as a phone with a total value of 150 $9.99 the idea here is that this is one of the very first which I'm sure it's going to be Android phones it actually does have not only face ID but it also does have the knotch the good news though is that we get support for a gravity sensor which of course is very important in your smartphone well from the front if we remove the little screen protector that actually does kind of look like an iPhone 10 you've got the knotch and it actually is not that far off so take off the rubber case that comes with it and you'll see that the back is actually a little different even though we do have the dual cameras we get something that even the iPhone 10 doesn't have a fingerprint sensor also like the iPhone 10 we do have USB C port which is close enough to lightning what we don't get is a headphone jack even though this phone is clearly thick enough to easily fit one I'm surprised with just how heavy this is now I think part of it is because it is so thick and it does have such a large battery but especially when you put it side-by-side with something like the iPhone 10 it really does not feel anywhere near the same sort of level of Polish now part of that is of course the fact that this guy's rocking at glass back versus I assume is metal oh you know what that's plastic ooh we have Google assistant built-in all right I actually will say that that's not what I was expecting on a kind of low-end device I think we're actually running Android 7 here so with the u18 setup it actually looks like fairly stock looking Android so there's a couple of weird apps on here but for the most part it actually looks fairly straightforward now the notch the notch is a little bit interesting put this side-by-side with the actual iPhone 10 and you'll see they actually looked fairly close so especially with the notch was a little bit bigger it's not you that far off although it does have a big chain compared to the iPhone 10 one of the nice things is Android actually does have native support for the knotch so an app like Google Maps here you actually can see that we do get pre much to the full screen even though it is going to be a little bit greyed out on top now this is also shared with something like the essential phone so even though this is a much smaller notch that's just for the front-facing camera it actually does also take advantage of it in interesting ways so it's not like that space is always going to be wasted so you pretty much the same sort of setup with your icons up on the top right as well as your time on the top left now the only thing I will say is a little bit weird is the fact that even though it is going to be curved it's not going to quite that same level as the iPhone but at first glance it is very very close well weird things with the iPhone 10 is if you pull down from the normal part you're going to be getting all of your information all your notifications if you pull down from the right you're actually going to be getting Control Center now here if you pull down from either side you're going to be getting some different notifications if you're fully on from the middle nothing happens so you know don't do that considering that it only cost $160 and site actually has pretty decent specs so we're going to be getting a four thousand milliamp hour battery which is going to be powering an octa-core processor with four gigs of RAM and 64 gigs of storage when it comes to the screen you're getting a 5.8 inch display with a resolution of 1512 by 720 definitely on the lower side but it is a pretty okay panel I mean it's not really exactly going to blow you away but it's fairly bright the COS of decent the viewing angles though just aren't that great again though $160 now in addition to the knotch you're also going to be getting face ID or while face unlock please note appearance shaped similar to people or items you may unlock success oh boy check the face keep this position and wait for the countdown to finish oh it it added it wait my face wasn't even totally in the frame hello saying it does actually work done okay it worked the real test though is it'll be fooled by a picture of me so with this awesome selfie can we actually unlock the phone alright so put like this and face are you sure fields failed failed failed I don't necessarily know it's the most accurate thing in the world but at least based on first impressions it kind of works alright so something like this okay yep alright nevermind they take all that stuff back it is easily fooled with just a single photo of you well I mean you know let's try it 160 bucks thankfully you don't have to roll on face ID as you do have that fingerprint sensor so we turn on drop your finger on it it sort of works it's like a time at least oh okay well I mean you've got a decent sized screen but because the way that the phone is treating the knotch unlike the iPhone we can actually punch in especially when you're watching widescreen video here it's just like you always have that much of the screen that doesn't exist the only time you really get it is if you have an app that specifically supports it or you've got something like the home screen which does allow you to get a little bit of your information up top who these two side-by-side and around back they look absolutely nothing alike however this guy is rocking the same at least in theory rear facing camera or wall cameras oh wow they straight rip the iPhone interface like it's totally identical you've even hit a little button to go to 2x let's do a little side-by-side so first of all let's take a photo on the u18 and now let's take that same photo on the iPhone 10 at first glance it's actually not that bad if you take a closer look you'll see that there's just not a lot of detail there so this is what video looks like only $160 iPhone 10 clone it's um not exactly what I would call crispy the blur mode is literally just like a blurred edge around the photo hold on wait I'm try this are you serious that might be the worst portrait mode photo I have ever seen literally nothing isn't focused it's just like this circle of vague focus around the middle part we have face beauty mode all right I could use some beauty on my face I don't think I would call that beautiful it's just a little blurry okay so the camera not exactly so great but you are getting the notch and I mean if you want to fool someone into thinking that you're using an iPhone with like a really thick case I guess so for $160 should you pick up the oukitel u18 well some parts of it they did a really good job of copying I think the notch is actually done better than I was expecting and especially over the next year or so I think we're going to be seeing a lot of Android phones with the knotch however the face unlock as well as the cameras are certified garbage town so what do you guys think let me know in the comments below and I will catch you on the next one
