2018-12-06
hey guys this is Austin and this is the cheapest smartphone available on Amazon the poco phone f1 just kidding this is for obscenely rich people these are the actual cheapest smartphones we can find on Amazon with prime shipping and huge shout-out to LastPass for sponsoring this video LastPass relieves the stress around keeping track of all of your passwords and losing access to your accounts now I've personally been using LastPass for over five years now way before they ever sponsored the channel with - pass you never have to remember or write down another password again not only will it keep all of them safe and secure inside your LastPass vault but on top of that you can even generate random passwords for each individual site you know if you're one of those people who uses the same one-two-three-four password on every single site don't do that bad idea use LastPass and LastPass even works on sites as well as apps on mobile devices such as iOS and Android you can even unlock your vault with just your fingerprint or face and with access to advanced two-factor authentication options such as a Yubikey LastPass it's not only convenient but it's a safe way of keeping all your passwords secure online if you aren't already using LastPass you should definitely check it out at the link in the description again huge shout out to LastPass for sponsoring this video now let's get into some cheap smartphones starting out with we have the blue advance a for one of the more popular options on Amazon at $55 with nearly a thousand reviews inside you will find a quad-core processor but it's backed up by only 512 megabytes of RAM eight gigs of storage as well as the brand new and incredibly cutting-edge Android 6.0 yeah ok that's some very high-end packaging but I hope the batteries in in this because this is incredibly light Wow so believe it or not this is actually a 4-inch display which at one time was considered large for smartphone but this this just seems tiny Wow we actually have a lot of accessories Cinelli is that our battery but there's also a case we've got our micro USB for charging as well as our power adapter and is that a screen protector all right now bad 455 bucks next up we had the kenzan v5 at a whopping 51 dollars now this one this one's got a little bit of a higher spec I think yeah look at that we've got a full one gig of ram a 1500 million power battery as well as android 7.0 that's actually a lot better than six at least oh wow that's that's very white okay all right oh wait it's gold on the back for style it's definitely a little bit of a unique look this is also another four inch foam which by 2018 standards feels absolutely tiny but I gotta say I actually kind of don't hate it I miss the days of smaller smartphones pop open the box and we had the charger with an attached micro USB cable as well look at that we've got ourselves a headphone a pair of headphones to be more specific it's very impressive and what is I hope a package yes that has a headphone jack I need that last but not least we have the do GX 10s now with a massive budget of $62 this is the most expensive phone here but if you take a look at the specs it actually doesn't look too bad so on top of having a 5-inch display instead of 4-inch we do have a much larger 3300 milliamp hour battery and importantly Android 8.1 or Yogo Edition wait a minute oh I thought the phone was orange for a second I got really excited so wait so Nelly it has a case on it dude this is actually a metal phone look at that Wow so this does come with a screen protector in the box as well as it looks like to be a charger and the bottom we have our micro USB cable and some random accessories that I'm never gonna read so with all three phones charged up and updated let's start with the blue advance a four the issue here is that this just feels ancient middle east made out of incredibly cheap plastic but also the hardware itself just feels really out of date and I'm sure this is okay a couple years ago but right now there's just better phones even you're buying the cheapest things on Amazon the Kin phone I will definitely say has a lot of flair kind of like the real Ken himself so what I like about this is that it is a little bit of a unique look right and I think especially when you're talking about a phone that costs you $50 it's completely unlocked that you can get straight from Amazon that's cool but there are definitely some downsides and the big one is the screen if you look at it directly head-on it's okay but as soon as you start tilting it off to the side the viewing angles are well they leave a lot to be desired on top of that this is only a 480 by 800 screen that resolution my friends should have been left in 2010 where it belongs not in 2018 on a well to be fair $51 but which brings us to the do G a phone which actually feels usable in 2018 so first of all it's a bigger phone having a 5-inch display instead of a 4-inch panel looks a lot nicer and on top of that it is a much nicer display it is IPS and while the actual resolution is still 480 by 854 the actual screen itself it's much brighter it seems you know usable and not garbage Talent like everything else it also feels pretty decent in the hand now yeah it is a little bit on the heavy side if you pop off the back what you do find is that massive 3300 milliamp hour battery you're sorry 30 360 million power battery which is back here a little side note with a digi phone you if you actually buy one of these you actually should take off the back panel because there's a little plastic tab which keeps the battery contacts from being connected to the phone there's been a time or two where I picked up a digi phone and thought it was broken and I just had to you know remove that piece of plastic protip of course we do have the included pair of headphones that come with the Ken phone which means that I've got a um I guess I should listen to the radio right does that seem fair I mean like Jesus song I'm not doing this for no reason I have to get serviced or I have to get a radio station why am i listening to radio on a $50 phone from Amazon this is this is a poor choice of my time this is running Android 8.1 go edition now that's a fairly up-to-date version of Android but importantly it has almost no bloatware and there are go specific versions of a lot of Google Apps such as Gmail YouTube Google etc now these are very very small versions of the apps so you can kind of consider them like lightweight versions and only three to five megabytes for a lot of them but what that means is that now is it going to be nice on that small 8 gigs of storage onboard but also gives you a lot of other options to conserve things like data what's nice about Android Go is that it is specifically meant to run on a very low-end device like this the other phones are running standard Android and while it kind of works it's actually a bit of a smoother experience here of course no phone comparison can be complete without taking a look at the cameras because you know a $50 phone on Amazon to probably have a great camera right so starting out with we have the blue advanced a4 with a 5 megapixel rear facing camera there's some color there's like some blue and some black and a little bit of not spread not great not too surprising but that's definitely not all that impressive but we do have is not only a two megapixel front facing camera but it has a flash Ready Set whoa that is straight potato mode to be feared this is one of the cheapest smart phones we can find on Amazon but let's let's step it up to the Kenji phone wow this is uh that's impressive it literally took like five seconds to take the photo and that is awful that is that's not even funny that's turn off HDR oh we've got the makeup effects yeah let's turn on the make-up effect I feel it that's gonna be a good move hopefully that qualifies as a makeup effect I think that qualifies as the opposite of crispy that's the softest photo I may have ever seen I'm really hoping that doogee is able to pull it out for us right now because this is really depressing oh wow this actually looks like a real camera so take a shot here that's actually perfectly respectable I mean it's not super sharp it doesn't make any kind of modern smartphone look bad but it is much much better than the other two switch over to that front facing camera Wow look at that there's actual color I mean there's not a lot of color but this feels much more like a modern smartphone I'm gonna say this do g4 a little over $60 is really impressive especially considering that it has that giant battery inside going into this video I had low expectations but I've got to say considering just how much smartphone you're able to get for so cheap it's really actually not too bad and if you're brave enough to give the cheapest smartphones on Amazon a try the links will be in the description but beware it's actually not that bad it just sounds spooky and scary if I make it sound like they're all terrible and in fact they actually just totally reasonable sort of decently priced respectful responsible clever choices good way to spend your money
