hey how's it going Dave 2d here so this is the digi mix - it's a $200 smartphone and the company hit me up a couple months ago and they're like hey do you want to check out our new phone I went on the website the pix look good the spec list looked awesome we're looking at things like six gigs of ram a big AMOLED screen use PC charging expandable storage so on paper there's a lot of good things going for it and it's built well it's not gonna win any awards or anything for design but it is built well and it feels solid it's a little bit heavier and thicker than a lot of phones in that $200 price point but I like the way that it feels in your hand now they include a bunch of accessories which I guess is the norm for inexpensive phones like this you get a case two screen protectors and a USB c2 headphone adapter okay let's talk about the actual usage of the phone the fingerprint sounds what they have is not bad it's pretty quick obviously not the quickest one out there but they also include a feature that gives you face unlock and this face unlock is terrible I don't know why it's so bad but even in ideal lighting conditions it would often fail and we're talking like 30 percent failure rate and I tried setting it up multiple times so I wasn't expecting like face ID from the iPhone I wasn't expecting that but I thought I should at least work most of the time but it doesn't I wouldn't rely on that I wouldn't buy this phone for face unlock features let's talk about the CPU it's a reasonably fast processor bumps out decent benchmarks no obviously it's slower than the big flagships out there but the overall performance is good playing games multitasking it feels fast I mean with 6 gigs of RAM it's gonna be nice but I'm not super impressed not that it's not good it's just that there's so many cheap phones right now that are just as fast as this so it doesn't really stick out as being an amazing performer or anything like that but it's good the screen is awesome I'm really impressed by it it's an AMOLED panel 5.99 inches so basically 6 inches it's big it's bright it's colorful it's one of the best if not the best screen I've seen at this $200 price point that being said I feel like you need to give some kind of disclaimer or warning if you go on the website the renders make it look like this completely bezel this phone I mean look at this thing what are they doing they're using these white highlights or these reflections to disguise what the actual screen edge looks like those images are so heavily enhanced that when it got this thing and I pulled it out of the box I thought they'd sent me the wrong one this looks nothing like what the images on the website looked like so be aware that it's still a decent looking phone but the renders are lies okay the battery life is good it's a four thousand sixty milliamp hour battery it's bigger than a lot of other phones but the battery life is just good it's not amazing or anything and this thing does not support quick charging of any sort so it's a full three hours actually a little bit more to charge this thing up from zero to full which is a long time the speakers on the bottom it's a mono speaker and it doesn't sound particularly good and there's also no headphone jack but there's three really big things about this phone that bugged me a lot the first one is the camera I was expecting a pretty crappy camera because it's a $200 phone and the doogee makes one had a pretty bad camera this one is well didn't disappoint it's a bad camera the daylight photos are okay you need to have a really steady hand though because there's no image stabilization but the low-light photos are basically unusable we saw stuff like this in the digi mix one and they haven't really changed all that much but the thing went fun really weird is that there's two cameras on the back but the second one isn't used for a telephoto or monochrome or anything that I could find I'm not too sure what the second camera is here for I hope to hell that's not some kind of dummy camera but regardless image quality is not good on either of the cameras in the front or the back well the front camera has a wide angle which is kind of neat like if you're into wide angled selfies but again image quality is not great the other thing that really bugs me about this thing is call quality and that's something that's pretty important for any kind of phone it's just not good call quality just bad speaker quality bad speaker volume it's not great but the thing that kills me the most about this phone is the Wi-Fi signal so it doesn't matter how good everything else on a phone is if it doesn't have a good Wi-Fi connection it's just crap because I think a lot of people at this price point are using Wi-Fi connections on these phones and it is bad you need to be right beside the router to be able to get any kind of solid signal if I'm like 15 20 feet away from my router I'm already starting to see signal loss and that's just bad regardless of the price point of this phone so here's the deal this phone has one really impressive feature it's the screen it's a really really nice looking screen if that's all you care about then sure go for this but I think for most people there's better ways to spend $200 on a phone okay hope you guys enjoyed this video thumbs be liked it subs you loved it see you guys next time you know what I'll put some suggestions for other phones that have tested out and reviews for them but other phones that have tested out in this price range I think are a better pick up okay I'll link those below
