2015-08-26
how's it going guys mark burst enter here with TechnoBuffalo with another unboxing for you and here we've got the Ubik uno you might not have heard of these guys before this is the kind of notorious kickstarter-funded device that is supposedly a no compromises no strings attached as you'll see here Android device made by the people for the people the guys who made this are really really experienced in the industry and thought themselves why make you wait two years before getting a new device so let's see let's see how they did this thing is really interesting really excited to open this thing up it's a kind of a really nice nice packaging it feels like it's kind of like recycled recycled cardboard or something of that nature let's go ahead and slide that right out set this let's set that right there and of course we've got a box now where is the open there it is there's the flap cool there we go and inside we've got of course we've got the device pop that out so that's thick and we've got a little package here that's got inside of it a wall wart this is a fast-charging wall wart which I'm excited to play with because if I remember correctly this cable lights up here and it it lets you know when it's fast charging and when it's not which is really cool so this isn't just a run-of-the-mill USB cable it is regular old micro USB but it is not so it's not type C but it's not just a regular old USB cable so that's exciting usually that's all we get let's set that off to the side let's see if we've got anything else in here no uh no usual Quick Start Guide which is exciting we've got some earbuds here these don't look terrible either you look like halfway decent earbuds - not bad we've got a do we have an inline mic yeah we've got an inline mic we've got a switch here which are actually looks like a volume slider and you've got a call button here nice not too shabby at all let's set this stuff aside while this is booting I'm going to talk about some specs really quickly you'll see a stock Android look right there and that's because this thing is indeed running android 5.1 stock these guys have said that the only thing they've done is modify the camera just a little bit to take more advantage of this really nice Sony sensor on the back but everything else is stock Android which is really really exciting you can see these teeny tiny bezels on the side so let's talk about what's under the hood of this thing we've got an octa-core 2.2 gigahertz processor and that is a mediatek processor it's an MT 67 95 you might not have seen many devices running mediatek processors because Qualcomm is kind of the darling at the moment but they said that they had a lot of heat issues with the 810 the Snapdragon 810 and that they wanted to go with something that was more stable and more reliable for users and they said that the media tech is since it's a true octa-core they can run all eight cores at 64 bits so I'm really really excited to see if this processor does pretty well that's a that's really snappy already in addition to that mediatek processor you've got three gigs of ram under the hood which is a nice healthy amount of RAM I keep feeling like four gigs is too much for right now but three sounds just about right and 16 gigs of on-board storage which is expandable via microSD up to 64 gigs around the back here we've got this giant 20 megapixel camera which is the Sony lens it's got six different pieces of glass on the inside it can record all the way up to 120 frames per second they're really really proud of that and you've got of course a dual tone flash right here the feel the material on the back is interesting it's got a little makes a little kind of scratchy sound like one of those little hologram fogs that used to have back in the day that battery is a 3100 milliamp hour battery which is a nice hefty sized battery and it's going to charge in three hours according to Ubik and that's without fast charging so with fast charging it'll charge even faster the display look at this thing I'm already really excited by the display it's a nice crisp bright display nice high contrast nice vivid colors it's a 5.5 inch screen across HD display 1920 by 1080 that comes out to a dpi of 400 flat and of course we've got some gorilla glass here up on the front and as I mentioned we're looking at stock lollipop is it 5.1 5.1 how exciting is that plus for those of you who are kind of paying attention to the budget market right now might be notable this does have NFC while we're here let's take a quick visual tour around the hardware of the device around the bottom you see you've got your micro SD you've got a mic right here around the right side we've got a power button we've got two buttons right here for the volume rocker so it's technically not a rocker then I would suppose up around the top we've got a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack and around the left side we've got two trays here looks like we're looking at a sim tray and a micro SD tray as well around the back we've got that a little bit of a camera hum which I'm not crazy about but that's okay and a rear firing speaker it might look like the entire that goes across the whole way it does not just right there and then of course around the front you've got your speaker up at the top your front-facing camera and your beautiful display right here just kind of bigger bezels around the top and on the bottom to kind of make up for the the lack of bezel around the sides the device is a little thicker a little thicker than I would have expected but it's certainly not too thick the lack of bezel here really does kind of seem like it'll make it a lot easier to reach those side drawer menus and also help out with you know anything that's have been that top left corner there I've been running the zenfone 2 I'm about to take a look at the oneplus 2 and now the Ubik uno I'm really excited to see how these budget devices off I wouldn't even call these budget devices these are value devices off-contract this thing is going to be running I believe it's going to be $340 for a device with these kinds of specs it's just out of control it's it's difficult to believe that it's 2015 that an independent company can just pop up and make a phone it's really really cool so thank you guys so much for watching I hope you enjoyed this quick look at the yubico no really excited to put it through its paces do a full review if you enjoyed this video you can go and hit like there's also that subscribe button otherwise I will catch you in the next video
