A Phone you can SHAVE with?! - Durability Test

2018-08-06
so we got a weird one today a little something I saw over on unbox therapy channel while back it has to be one of the strangest phones I've ever seen but surprisingly only cost me 35 bucks on eBay a self-proclaimed dustproof shockproof waterproof and rugged dual SIM card cell phone with get this a built-in shaver yeah like the kind of shaver you would shave your face with in the box it even has one of those little bristle cleaners for the foil head I'll be testing all of these features if it ever turns on side by side with a normal razor blade from Dollar Shave Club who's sponsoring this video all in the name of science of course let's get started turns out that the phone wasn't dead out of the box the phone has a passive old-school removable 3800 milliamp hour battery that has some tape over the battery contacts and once I got that tape off everything started working we do durability tests here on my channel to make sure to a make sure the manufacturers are giving us quality durable products and that includes this Frankenstein monstrosity of a cellphone shaver let's see what this thing is made from starting with the screen I have a set of most pics that visibly show us what the screen is made from glass is level six a diamond screen would be a level 10 but since this unique machine is only $30 on eBay the screen is plastic scratching at level 3 with deeper grooves at level 4 it does have the brightest flashlight I've ever seen on a phone though so if you've ever wanted to call your grandma while shaving in the dark this phone is for you the front buttons are painted plastic kind of what we would expect to find on the lower end of the quality scale a higher-end plastic button example would be the embedded buttons on the Nintendo switch we aren't here just for the buttons though let's shave the shaver the side buttons are made from plastic it seems to be a reoccurring theme throughout this phone the back panel is also made from plastic the center logo thing has more of a clear rubber over the top the flashlight on the top of the phone has a plastic lens which is fine and normal the camera lens though is also plastic it's a bold move that little piece of plastic is protecting all point three megapixels of the camera so it's pretty safe to say that quality pictures were not the first priority on this flashlight shaver that happens to make phone calls the little flap doohickey down at the bottom protects the microUSB and regular sized USB slot and hasn't stayed shut since I unbox this thing so I think that waterproof claim is completely bogus it will be nice to use that full-sized USB slot to charge up some other accessories though it's interesting that the dedicated shaver switch on the side doesn't have a safety lock I imagine this shaver randomly going off in your pocket is going to be a real issue still more useful than bixby though let's give this thing a shot at shaving you have a thing into yourself why is this grown man shaving his arms with a cellphone and you're right this is an incredibly weird situation I think maybe we should just clear your search history and not talk about this again but if I'm being completely honest this is the best shave I've ever gotten with the cellphone getting out of 10 I'm legitimately surprised it even works fair is fair though let's see what an actual razor can do Dollar Shave Club has this starter box and send out for 5 bucks with Free Shipping and has all kinds of goodies they even have stuff like toothpaste and hair styling products for those of you grab hair that you can add into the kit later not just razors and the best part is there are zero contracts so if being clean is not your thing you can quit whenever you want not a bad deal at all for just five bucks replacement blades are sent for just a few dollars a month after the first batch and I'll leave a link in the description the razor is just as if not more efficient than the shaver foam and it won't awkwardly go off in your pocket grab your own five-dollar kit with a link in the description or head to dollarshaveclub.com slash jerry-rigged it's pretty easy thanks to Dollar Shave Club for sponsoring this video let's finish off the durability test and see how this shaver phone works from the inside one of the biggest flaws in this phone is the lack of games there is no snake game which is kind of a deal-breaker for me the 2 point 6 inch screen is covered by that thick layer of plastic so the heat from my lighter doesn't penetrate down into the display below but we can't see it melting the outer plastic it did last about 18 seconds before turning into a molten mess which is good to know if you happen to be shaving outside by a campfire structurally if it looks like a brick and feels like a brick there's a good chance it's actually a brick and that is indeed the case with this random conglomerate of gadgets the shaver phone is surprisingly sturdy I still have massive doubts about the waterproof claims though since there is no actual IP rating and the back panel and bottom flap keep opening up on their own so maybe don't get this thing wet while shaving you might lose your $30 investment I've what we open it up and see how the shaver operates from the inside it's actually rather simple with two screws holding the bottom together for visible screws holding together each of the golden metal side rails and two more Phillips head screws up at the top there's one last tiny little guy guarding the battery how and then the whole phone can start to open the problem with opening up this phone is that the screen is semi clipped into the front housing and since there are no Lego connections holding the screen to the motherboard I shredded all the soldered ribbon cables between the two kind of like how we saw on the world's smallest cell phone except for I didn't break that one the motherboard has the seller grounding tape all over it but once that gets peeled back we get our first look at the circular vibration motor and the even bigger loudspeaker sub-woofer thing remember that catchy little jingle that played when I turned the phone on this speaker is probably the biggest speaker I've ever seen inside of a cell phone the shaver motor which is quite a bit bigger than the NEX s front camera motor is soldered directly onto the mainboard no Lego connectors anywhere inside of this phone but there is an aluminum heatsink on the back of the LED flashlight diode the thing is so powerful and bright that it needs its own mini heat dissipation system which is actually super cool thumbs up for that let's see how the shaver portion works the top metal circular foils pop off allowing the insides to be clean but under those triangle pins is another trap door with massive white circular gears the big motor inside spins its singular gear which in turn rotates the two larger gears attached at the bottom of each of those triangular silver posts which then rotates the shaving mechanism underneath the circular metal foils pretty brilliant we can snag a closer look at the underside of those foils you can see that the gaps in the foil are just big enough to let hair through but not big enough at the little metal twisty bits could snag on your skin the same basic principle applies to all shavers it's just super interesting to see it here on a cell phone I would put the whole thing back together again but somebody accidentally ripped the screen off and destroy the ribbons so it's kind of incapacitated at the moment still a super interesting phone though grab your own five dollar shaving kit from Dollar Shave Club using my code and link in the description with free shipping it's cheaper than even your local grocery store would you ever use a phone like this let me know down in the comments and then come hang out with me on Twitter and Instagram thanks ton for watching I will see you around
