what's up everyone John retina from TechnoBuffalo here if you looked at your smartphone recently no matter what size specs it's got and been like oh man you're flat you're so boring you're outdated well this is your answer this is the world's first curve display phone is the samsung galaxy round if you couldn't guess by the title it's round I really take a look at it I've been holding this box dying or poking this plastic let's go ahead start the unboxing so here is the box for the galaxy round looking all two-dimensional not round like on the front this is essentially the same specs as the note 3 so it's got pretty baller specs including a Snapdragon 800 chip a ridiculous three gigs of ram and a pretty awesome 1080p screen let's go ahead and open this sucker up this is now only available from one carrier in South Korea SK Telecom but our friend that Negri electronics of course have the hook up they've got these guys in stock so check them out and never electronics comics want to pick up this phone or really any unlocked phone that you want to check out so we get all our stuff from so here is the box for the galaxy round go ahead and slide this top off and there is a round phone which I have never ever seen in my life it feels round and a little weird push it off the side for just a minute and we'll see what else we've got in the box we've got a cardboard tray which does nothing underneath said cardboard tray we've got things written in Korean I assume that as a get started guy but I don't speak Korean so I cannot translate that we've got an external battery charger is kind of interesting it's got a 2800 milli amp hour battery that is flat which apparently Samsung is essentially saying we know it's not going to last you a whole day so here's an extra battery charger for it please don't be mean to us so that just goes in and it charges Samsung now has technology to do curved batteries but apparently they did not when they were putting this guide on the market so old-school flat batteries all around else in the box continuing the trend with the note 3 the charges really the second phone I can think of that charges with USB 3.0 if you now though the other end of that also is essentially microUSB so you can use old accessories if you want to charge your sink your phone just won't sink as fast we've got earbuds with noise cancelling mic and a way to control volume on its we've got a power cable here which I'm guessing that is the South Korean power adapter push all the stuff off to the side that's not why you're here year for this crazy round phone I'm going to go ahead and pop the battery and I'll do a whole quick tour of ours antha phone's got so the back of the phone has a similar look to note 3 meaning that it's or that fake leather look with this faux stitching around it but it's got more of a tactile feel to it this is a much better feeling phone a little stickier on the back then just a hard plastic that is on the note 3 but it is still plastic on the back it's sort of little thicker though than previous back 15 on Samsung devices as I mentioned the battery is flat so that means a battery compartment is also flat so go ahead and pop that in it's got the same a spot for expansion that you find on other Samsung devices those have 32 gigabytes of storage built in though then your SIM card goes right below that put the back on and I will power the sucker on I'll run through all the specs of this phone case is pretty well SPECT out so power button lives right there on the right that's where Samsung does with most of their devices and then we've got samsung galaxy around it is a curved 5.7 inch print resolution of 1920 by 1080 giving it do the math in your head 386 ppi LTE a sk telecom and it's running Android 4.3 at launch it's a super flexible Imola display for whatever that means a snapdragon 800 processor so pretty beastly trippin here three gigs of ram 32 gigs of internal storage but of course you can up that with more storage it's got a 13 megapixel camera moving right down the back of course takes 1080p video that's got a 2 megapixel shooter right up there on front Wi-Fi pretty much everything's here 802 11 a BGN an AC bluetooth 4.0 it weighs 154 grams or 5.4 ounces and it comes in two kind of calling it brown but it looks it looks black to me and that 2,800 million battery coupled with Bluetooth 4.0 so we get the role of Start screen stuff and take a look at the phone alright we've got the round all set up here and I got to say first impression it feels really nice it's a very subtle curve it's not like a giant huge curved phone it's not that big but it really feels nice you continue to scroll along maybe just it's a novelty and they'll wear off but these first impressions are definitely positive here with the galaxy round all of us the stuff you'd expect from a modern speck sampling device or here especially a top-of-the-line so you've got and you can run two apps at the same time if you feel so inclined you just sort of drag it drag it okay yeah you can serve do things on top or the bottom depending on what you want to do I can do all kinds of cool things with that so essentially the design is very similar to the note 3 or galaxy s4 we've got one big power button flanked on the left and the right by capacitive back buttons and many buttons left hand side a volume rocker up and down on the right you've got your power and lock on the top 3.5 milimeter headset jack ir and microphone then your USB 3.0 charging port on the bottom so the first question I had when I picked up the Galaxy round was how is it going to feel in my pocket so let me show you what that looks like to have a round phone in your pocket so here is the galaxy round I'll put it with the curve facing my leg and just make the most sense and it certainly feels really nice you don't get that giant sort of bold you get with a flat device it's a little more subtle however turned the other way looks odd and you feel it pushing up against your leg I'm just wearing normal dude jeans so definitely noticeable if you keep it the right way that's really subtraction the giant footprint of a 5.7 inch phone so we'll have more coverage here on the galaxy round unfortunately our time with it is going to be very limited but we will have some verses videos to show you what it looks like versus other devices you can see how the roundness of the phone compares to other flat device it's pretty much every other phone out on the market whether or not this actually adds anything is more of just sort of a novelty for novelty sake and we got please give the video a thumbs up let stuff we appreciate it I will John Rhett injure and I will see you guys in the next video bye bye
