This Smartphone Is All You Need

2016-11-23
Kenna's judging me so hard right now for the record hey guys this is Austin and you are probably paying too much for your phone so my friends over at metro pcs reached out wanted to sponsor video the first thing I thought of were cheap smartphones so if you guys been watching the channel for a while you know I love these things it's such a powerful thing to be able to get a smartphone for 1/10 the price of a full flagship and it's almost as good so I paid over $800 for my iPhone 7 plus now don't get me wrong this is a great phone however we consider the galaxy on five only cost $60 it is really hard to justify that price premium so let's see what you actually get in the box of a $60 phone hey-oh it was a week that was weak start down low right which like don't judge me something else that you don't find a lot of phones these days is a removable back so now I can you get at the microSD as well as the SIM slot but if you want to swap out a battery it's super easy to do and we also have the SIM card so that's actually one of the nice things about metro pcs not only are there no contracts but for $30 a month you're getting unlimited talk text and one gigabyte of uncapped data and the cool thing is you get that regardless of what smartphone you're using whether it's the on five or the iPhone 7 I like the feel of this it's a nice light phone but more importantly it's the right size I feel like so many smart phones these days are just too big this actually feels good in the hand and if you want to raise your budget to a whopping $80 you can pick up the LG k Tim or the HTC Desire 530 so well the advantages of the k10 is it's rocking a slightly larger 5.3 inch 720p display and just like the Samsung we can take off the back of the k10 to get access to the battery microSD Sam the whole deal I've got to say the look of the k10 is interesting so it's got this sort of textured finish on the back I can't say I've ever seen a phone that looks like it now we have the desire 530 so this is actually a phone I'm really curious to try I have not actually oh this is such a cool boom so you've got the sort of colorful buttons on the side and you have it's a white bag but it has this sort of speckled finish it looks like so much like spill a little paint on it that's fun that's just a really cool unique look you also have the blue bezels here with a front firing speakers I'm Way more impressed with this and I thought I was Sochi considering it's $80 like then it comes with a lanyard drop everything stop the video stop the music it's laying your time so I hereby nominate this the coolest foam of 2016 drop the phone no I didn't drop the phone no I didn't okay I could get a little less clumsy but no big deal to be here it just has the little loop on the bottom so you can take the lanyard off if you don't want it but I mean this is kind of package right here so with all three of these phones you're getting very similar specs so there are quad core processors across the board one and a half gigabytes of RAM the biggest difference really is the fact that the LG and the HTC have 16 gigabytes of memory and the Samsung has eight however since all three have a micro SD card slot it's really not that big of a deal all three phones have surprisingly decent screens however one thing I did notice with the desire is it seems like it's a little bit over sharpened so especially when you look at black text on a white background it just looks like it's got a little bit of a halo around it not a deal-breaker but it's definitely noticeable compared to the other two the desire does do a good job with video though so even though it looks like it has dual front firing speakers only this one is an actual speaker however because it's pointing at you it actually sounds a lot better than most other phones so even though the k10 feels a little bit plasticky as you might be able to tell it has the fundamentals down the screen is great performance is solid especially with the fairly light LG UI and the cool thing is it has some extra features such as having NFC support of course being smartphones the cameras are incredibly important so we'll see how they match up so this is about as good as light is gonna get and at least the HTC handles it well this is a surprising amount of detail even all the way over on the mountains so with 8 megapixels to work with it actually does a solid job as long as you have light of course I have to make sure I had to lanyard on at all times because safety not that it's a little soft but that's totally usable so the k10 actually looks really nice so even though this is a very brightly lit shot it completely holds the detail no problem Ken look an a.1 quality on the LG looks to be fairly similar we're getting a little bit of softness but it handles it well you know something I realized the more spend time with the LG it snappier than the other two everything just seems to happen really quickly the other two gonna slow but you can definitely notice a little bit of lag some time now with the Samsung we're actually working with the lower resolution five megapixel camera and if this is anything to go by it's not quite as nice definitely I was fast to take a shot with good lighting you can get decent results however especially when you look at the details it just can't compare to the other two now you can get an okay shot with the on five however in this comparison it's just out guns there are legit reasons to pick up any of these phones the Samsung is the cheapest the LG wants a little bit on the boring side absolutely nails the fundamentals however if it's my money I'm picking up the HTC you're getting a phone with unique design solid performance a good camera and most importantly its $80 it's hard to argue with that you know it's even hard argue with free phones so if you switch to MetroPCS you can actually get two free samsung galaxy on by smart phones running on the t-mobile network so which phone would you guys go for definitely be sure to let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
