excellent hey guys welcome to Paul's hardware today I'm going to be doing a quick unboxing of a couple brand new smartphones at least brand new to me we have the nexus 6 by Motorola and the Samsung Galaxy s5 active brand new phones for me and for my wife the Nexus 6 is for me the galaxy s5 activists for my wife we both just switched over from sprint to AT&T because we want a better 4G coverage so here's the Nexus 6 this was just launched in october and i was considering some other phones as well the Samsung Note 4 was one that i gave heavy consideration but ultimately went with this one because since it's a nexus phone it will have vanilla android which is something i've never actually tried out before although this does have some minor AT&T add-ons but i don't think they'll be too bad it's on Android 5.0 lollipop right now this is the midnight blue version it's also available in cloud white so first off of the box itself of course very nicely decorated inside the box though we have some documentation that will tell you where things are on the phone important stuff like where the NFC chip is they give you a little metal poker thingy and that's pretty much so you can poke the point on the top of the phone that helps you remove the nano SIM card although I believe it comes pre-installed on this one it's got safety and warranty information of course and then they also give you a microUSB charging and data cable as well as a 2 amp wall adapter now this phone first and foremost is just big it's 5.96 enter 6 inch class amoled capacitive touchscreen 16 million colors it actually has a resolution of 1440 x 2560 which gives you a pixel density of 493 ppi on the front it's got Corning Gorilla Glass 3 which i assume is virtually indestructible unless you're Superman and have laser vision or something and then for size again it's a very big phone 159 point 3 millimeters tall 83 wide and 10.1 thick which is pretty pretty thin for a phone that's this big at six point two seven inches tall for those of you who aren't using metric system three point two seven inches wide oh point four inches thick weighs 180 4 grams or six point four nine ounces and it is water resistant which I thought was nice because I have my phone went before but as far as the exterior of the phone you have a micro USB 2.0 port that is on the go ready that's on the bottom the eighth inch audio jack is on the top it's a multi-port of course you have a power button and a volume rocker on the right side they're kind of textured differently so you can more easily tell which one is which then you have front-facing speakers this is my first phone with front facing speakers and I'm kind of excited about that the body of the phone itself is kind of curved on the back which means it's not going to sit stabili if you set it on a surface but this looks pretty cool it's got Motorola and AT&T logos on the back and I noticed that there where the m logo for Motorola is it's kind of a recessed and I've also notice that's kind of the center point of the phone so as I'm holding it my main my pointer finger tends to rest there and it helps keep the phone a little bit more balance which I thought was a nice little touch the census is such a big phone I found so far since I have such large hands it's been okay for me but this is definitely not the type of phone if you have small hands so keep that in mind it also doesn't have any actual physical buttons on the front of it which I kind of like having buttons there this is my first time using a phone that doesn't have those and just has capacitive buttons so we'll see how that goes to internally it's got 32 or 64 gigs of storage this is the 32 gig version 3 gigs of RAM Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset a quad core 2.7 gigahertz create 450 CPU and an Adreno 420 GPU apart from that for features you have 802 11 AC Wi-Fi Bluetooth 4.1 NFC hotspot capability the battery is non-removable but it's 3220 milliamp hours and I've heard it gives pretty decent battery life if not the best since it is a large phone with a large screen cameras 13 megapixel 4128 x 3096 pixels features autofocus out of optical image stabilization do a dual LED ring flash which is kind of cool and it actually records in 4k 21 ATP video at 30 frames per second and you got a 2 megapixel selfie camera front-facing as well the phone also supports wireless charging although I don't have a dock for it so i'll see if i can buy one that's compatible and here's a look real quick side by side with my old phone my lg optimus G which is a little over two years old now and one cool thing I found out actually was it it automatically accidentally started it and it immediately said hey go ahead and use NFC with your old phone and copy stuff from your old android phone and it works like automatically and I thought that was really cool moving on to the Samsung Galaxy s5 acted this one's been around for a little bit longer it was launched in May 2014 this is basically the same internally as the regular regular galaxy s5 but it's got a rebuilt housing for sturdiness and waterproofing and military specification standards since it is a samsung phone they have a samsung ified android experience which is not one that i have extensive experience with but since this is for my wife she had a galaxy s4 or an s3 I think she had that's three actually so she has some experience with it it has a TouchWiz UI so I'll have to give that a go and see how irritating it actually is right now it's running four point four point two KitKat and this is available in titanium grey ruby red and of course camo green which is what my wife chose because she tends to like phones that are as she describes it obnoxiously colored or loud or or just odd anyway in the box we've got a quick start guide it's got pretty colors and it will explain what is what on the phone and where things are I've got a micro sim card of course since this is a new 18t phone it needs a new AT&T sim health safety and warranty guide it's got some ad on cables and whatnot that are white they don't really match I think they're just sort of carryovers from the galaxy s5 standard but micro USB for charging and data to amp wall adapter ear canal earbuds with swappable tips so I'm not expecting that they built their the included earbuds to be fantastic quality but they're the ear canal kind with swappable tips so this should reduce outside noise it's got a removable lithium-ion 2,800 milliamp hour battery and I do like that this phone has a replaceable battery physically this phone is bigger than my optimus G by a decent amount but it's so much smaller than the nexus 6 it's got a much more rugged feeling as well than a typical sleek smartphone thanks to the beefed-up housing it's got a 5.1 inch mo LED screen 16 million colors 1920 x 1080 resolution for 432 pixels per inch density it's also got Gorilla Glass 3 4 screen protection dimensions are a hundred and forty five point three millimeters tall 73.4 wide 8.9 thick that's five point seven two inches tall two point eight nine inches wide 0.35 inches thick so a decent size phone for sure but again still not quite as big as the nexus 6 since I'm using that Miss my basis for comparison for everything from now on weight is 170 grams or six ounces and it has ip67 ingress protection 67 certification for dust and water resistance up to one meter in 30 minutes and military spec 810g certification for salt dust humidity rain vibration solar radiation transport and thermal shock resistance on the outside of the phone you got a micro USB to point out port on the bottom that's on the go ready it's of course beneath that little cover for waterproofing so you'll want to keep that closed if you want to maintain your waterproof ignis it's got an eighth inch audio jack on the top power button is on the right side there's a volume rocker on the left side and right next to that is a blue active button you can hold this down to activate the camera or you can tap it to do some Samsung thing it's got a speaker on the back and this backplate will also remove so you can swap out the battery you can access the micro-sim and microSD card slot it's got three actual physical buttons beneath the screen for back home and menu and this was a feature that was a selling point for my wife since she prefers actual physical buttons to capacitive buttons that are sort of part of the screen internally we have 16 gigs of storage 2 gigs of RAM microSD card slot for expansion of course it's got a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset and a quad core 2.5 gigahertz Krait 400 cpu and adreno 330 GPU and then features include 802 dot11 AC Wi-Fi Bluetooth 4.0 NFC hotspot capabilities the camera is 16 megapixel for 34 56 x 4608 pixel resolution it's got autofocus and an LED flash can record video in 4k or 2160p at 30 frames per second can also do 1080 HD video at 30 frames per second selfie camera is 2 megapixel but it can also do 1080 video at 30 frames per second which is kind of cool and one last thing right below the actual main camera is a heart rate monitor that's built in just like the normal s5 head now our plan for these smartphones is to actually use them for the next week or two and I'm going to come back and at least do a full review of my nexus 6 i'm going to try to get my wife to let me borrow her her galaxy s5 active as well to do reviews on both of them so i don't forget to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already so you can stay tuned for those videos
