The Dual Screen Phone Done Right 👏

2018-12-21
hey guys Zhou stain and this is the vivo next dual display edition and it is seriously cool huge shout-out to vivo for partnering with me on this one and giving us early access to the next to show you guys pop open the box and we have the next dual display itself okay this is really cool so what's really special about this phone is it not just have a front display but it also has a secondary rear display with some really cool tech oh man I saw photos of this beforehand I did not realize exactly what I was getting here you know when you're at a school or something and you're like trying to text easily you just like flip it upside down like oh no no I'm putting my phone face down people do that I feel like I'm out of touch with the kids oh look at that we have a bumper included with the phone now actually just between us these are my favorite type of cases skins are great cases are great but having a bumper on your phone is totally the way to do it which kind of makes sense right if you have a screen on the back of your phone you don't exactly want to cover it with a case wait does that a headphone jack because the next has all the fun goodies you would expect out of a brand-new smartphone we have an N display fingerprint sensor so if you look at the phone from the front you will see that we have the fingerprint sensor but if we flip it over we have the facial recognition so if I tap that and immediately unlocks using my face wow that's actually really clever because usually you have to choose between either having a fingerprint sensor or having that facial unlock but here you literally have whichever one is more convenient for you up front we have a six point four inch 23 40 by 1080p and will that touch screen what's cool about this is it's fully bezel as' and it does have a pretty impressive 91% screen to body ratio that is because my friends there's no Knox to be found so around back it is a 5.5 inch 1080p and will let an all let me think about that right that's pretty much the same spec does a lot of high-end flagships from not that long ago and it's the second display if you want more screen resolution just flip over the phone that is super cool now with two screens you might expect it needs a giant battery but the good thing is you actually only really ever use one screen at a time so it really doesn't make a big difference and it is outfitted with a pretty impressive 3500 milliamp hour battery I think a big reason why this works so well is that it is using a pair of OLED panels because they are so thin it doesn't really add any extra bulk to the phone I mean this is just as thin as a standard single screen phone so weird to think that a standard single screen phone seems out of date now when you've got dual displays on all sides of your supercool smartphone inside this is loaded with flagship level specs it has a Snapdragon 845 10 gigs of ram as well as 128 gigs of storage when I first saw this phone I expected that the screen would be a gimmick right I mean sure it's nice to be able to frame up selfies or something but the more I think about it what are you really giving up by having a second display it doesn't add any extra thickness in fact it might even help your battery life right if you or say running low on battery and you want to use the rear screen I bet it's a little bit more power efficient since it's smaller and on top of that I mean what are you giving up right I mean maybe wireless charging I guess but on the flip side you have well a screen on the flipside I'm sorry I couldn't resist what's cool about that second screen is that I can use it in games like pub G so right now I've mapped as my fire button to the right side and if I want jump are you tap on the left it's a pretty cool way of doing it of course we can't talk about this phone without discussing the cameras so there are three around back there's a 12 megapixel main camera with oh is there's a 2 megapixel low-light optimized camera and then there's a time of flight camera which is used for the 3d effect as well as for determining exactly how far objects are away from the phone so with the back screen enabled I can see myself pretty clearly so if I take a selfie with the AI Beauty mode and we also do have the portrait mode so oh wow so the beauty mode is definitely a little bit aggressive but I think a lot of people will like that look even though I like uh something that's a little bit less filtered that portrait mode actually looks really good too there's also a 3d face scanning mode so if I move my head slowly whoa dude so I can change the way my face looks now yeah let's let's change my eye span so now with that saved Oh so it's I guess putting that 3d model of my face over my real face man I look like so beautiful there's also mirror mode so this enables both screens at the same time so if I'm taking a photo of Ken for example he can critique me from his side to make sure I actually get it right wave wave say hi it's pretty cool it was very cool I feel like I could do an entire video just like this this is what video looks like straight off the vivo necks unlike a lot of front-facing cameras out there this is a much bigger sensor and because that looks a lot nicer and this is what the video looks like when you're shooting on the rear camera or these shooting in these standard mode the stabilization if she looks to be pretty solid one of the main advantages of the vivo next is it because it doesn't have a standard print facing camera we have a much nicer sensor and much nicer lens and some cool features to go with it to put this to the test we are outside at night time with the train in the background to see just how good the selfies are I'll guess in the video in the photos but I want to see the selfie wow I look way too happy here one of the main advantages here is the lunar rank so in addition to having a pair of lights which do act as a fill we also have a colored circle and this can actually automatically adjust based on the lighting in your area so if I sort of get something like this that fills it up nicely and what's cool you actually get some interesting flares from those lights on the camera it's a super unique look to be clear I mean this is a good camera even without the light but the fact that you have the extra options does make a big difference that looks really nice if I want I can completely cut out the background and make it all monochrome - this works well of course though it does not stop there we also have video capability as you would expect because I've our video capability let's see how it is in low-light the little like video looks pretty good a big part of that is because we do have the lunar ring to help kind of fill a little bit of light in but even so it is of course nighttime the vivo negative dual display Edition is seriously impressive if this is a taste of what the phones are going to look like in 2018 and beyond then I've got to say I am on board
