now for today's unboxing you know how I love a big phone yes this phone may test my love a big this is the big of the big phones to see the big phones big brother you can see there's a hint we have a phablet added tablet to compare it to it's gonna fit somewhere in the middle we think I think so inside this box is the huawei ascend mate which we first got eyes on actually I saw it at CES yeah I saw it at Barcelona at the Mobile World Congress i really liked what i saw that i did too because i love a big phone but this phone let me just put it this way it's a 6.1 inch display that's right yeah if taking half a foot of vomit oh my god that should be on the market half a foot upon I'll put a phone inside this box uh move it there we go holy moly that's a big phone like look at the pound takes up every square centimeter of space here that's huge look at that seriously five years ago we would make fun of people if they had that you don't I mean that's like five years your food is so primitive like brutally mock this look at that the difference the note you know the note 2 and the LG optimus g pro are basically the biggest phones on the market right now yeah tell nah it's almost it's almost a full cabin godzirra okay i can pay attention ok so here you take that let's see what else is in the box here whoa do I look weird it's not for talking how many times are you able to do this ok oh look they give us a little recycle your old mobile phone bag hmm cute listen no that's the one that's the one who broke okay what else is in here yeah take the plastic off we have an appropriately keeg hunt a power brick oh it is Gigante we have some headphones which also look comically oversized to me but maybe it's just the theme is at this point yeah like I think it's here look at this huge ESP dog on the back come on yeah micro USB charger and that is it there's some politics about this phone then we're gonna get to in a minute before that we're gonna turn it on and do some specs the huawei ascend mate runs android 4.1 jelly bean although for reasons we'll get to later you're probably gonna want to root it immediately and put stock android on it it has a 1.5 gigahertz quad-core processor and has a really big 4050 milliamp per hour battery the company says that this phone could go two days on a single charge I would be astonished but we will test it that screen really is huge 6.1 inches at 1280 by 720 it has two gigs of on-board ram a front-facing 1 megapixel camera and a rear-facing 8 megapixel camera I'm thinking they could have just put some mega pixels from the back on the front the Ascend mate has 16 gigs of on-board storage but it's expandable via micro SD card slot it comes in white and black and you'll probably only be able to get it unlocked at six hundred dollars so i have to say after playing with this for just a few minutes you're not impressed I'm not that impressed the keyboard seems laggy the performance seems a little bit slow and actually all of that is fine because it's probably spying on me yes it seems that you're not gonna be able to get that phone because of concerns about the Chinese government involvement this is really interesting cuz we got all excited about the rise of Chinese phone makers yeah but there are some lawmakers in the u.s. trying to ban these phones they will not have US carrier contract so there's no way you're gonna get it with a discount and like I mentioned earlier some people are saying online that even if you get one you probably want to put stock android on it right yeah that's pretty surprising so there's like a lot of barriers to jump through but you know if you just have to have the hugest phone out there the good news is they're not getting much information with that one peg megapixel camera on the front that's really true but they're getting nothing you can't even deposit a check with a 1 megapixel camera that is lame
