Thinnest Smartphone In The World! (Vivo X5 Max)

2015-01-21
what's up guys David here and today I have a very special unboxing for you guys because in this video we're going to be taking a look at the bebo x5 max which is probably a brand on the phone that you guys have never heard of before and it's not a device this can be a top contender in 2015 it's not a phone that's going to win a lot of speed says here in the channel but it is a brand and it is a phone that has won in something and something significant at that and that is the title for the world's thinnest smartphone now over the last few weeks and months you guys have probably heard about a phone called the Oppo r5 but those on a tech plug are here on YouTube with people claiming it to be the thinnest smartphone in the world at four point eight five millimeters thick now this was true technically for about a week before VEVO came along and announced the x5 Maxx claiming to be even thinner at four point seven five millimeters thick so not much of a difference between it to just one tenth of a millimeter but when it comes to winning the top spot for the world's thinnest smartphone doesn't matter if your dinner by 1/10 of a millimeter or by an inch it don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile winnings winning being thinner is thinner and that is what the x5 max is and taking a look at the device itself your first impression your second impression and probably even your third impression is almost guaranteed to be Wow this thing is freaking thin I mean I feel like I could stay here all day and tell you guys how thin I think this thing is obviously a lot of its not going to come through because you're taking a look at it through video so I am gonna be doing a side-by-side comparison with some of the more popular smartphones on the market just to kind of give you a point of reference but first things first let's go ahead and finish up the unboxing actually a very nicely presented box with a few boxes inside of the box so this unboxing doesn't go several layers deep and the first thing we'll take a look at here is presumably the documentation in paperwork and Wow actually what's interesting here is there's a Kay included with your typical documentation so not sure why we will have done that I don't know if it's because the device is so thin in an easy case or if they're just trying to add value to the user experience but either way that's actually pretty cool so moving on we'll take a look at the USB wall adapter and cable included and uh nothing special here just your typical USB to microUSB cable with your wall adapter so you can charge the phone in that way because I've seen that hundreds of times before and outlasting inside of the box or these headphones and actually something I want to show you guys with these headphones is the connection that it's using on the back and that is a 3.5 millimeter connection now you may be wondering why I'm making a point to even talk about the headphone jack and the fact that a 3.5 millimeter headphone and up the reason why is because the Oppo r5 which was talking about earlier doesn't actually have a headphone jack included and a lot of people were speculating that the reason why they thought it wasn't included was because the device was so freakin thin but obviously that is not the case because not only has people included a headphone jack they did it any body that's even thinner so that is actually pretty impressive in taking a look at the headphone jack actually this metal band that goes around the sides which by the way feels very very solid in the hand doesn't actually fully encircle the headphone jack it goes around maybe I don't know 70 or 80 percent with the remainder of it being encircled by the back case so it kind of goes to show you how much they're pushing the boundaries in the limits with this thing and I gotta tell you guys I think it's impressive I mean I know a lot of you guys would be wondering you know why would somebody need a phone so then why would somebody even want a phone so thin and those are valid questions to ask and concerns that have but from my standpoint and from a technology enthusiast standpoint and from a phonebook standpoint you kind of have to appreciate the technology and the engineering that goes into making a device this thin especially when you consider the fact that the X by max actually has relatively decent specs it's got a 5.5 inch 1080p display as a 5 megapixel front facing camera as a 13 megapixel rear camera with a Sony sensor underneath the hood you have a Snapdragon 615 64-bit octa-core processor with 2 gigabytes of RAM a 2000 milliamp battery of course it has a headphone jack which obviously is hard to put in here with the device this thin and maybe most impressively you also have a micro SD card slot for expandable memory so it's impressive the fact that they're able to fit so much into a device so thin I gotta tip my hat off to VEVO I think it's impressive now let's get to that side-by-side comparison that I promised you guys earlier so first foam we'll compare it to is going to be the HTC One m8 and I've taken a look at these things side-by-side I mean you can tell right off the bat how much thinner the X 5 max is now keep in mind the m8 does have a curved design so it's thickest point actually isn't on its size it's in the middle of the back and maybe if you look at it this way you can tell how much thinner the X 5 max is it's it's impressive let's go ahead and compare it to another device as compared to one that has a similar size in the galaxy note 4 Wow the no.4 I never thought it was a thick phone but compared to this thing it looks pretty hefty here it looks like I could stack 2 X 5 maxes on top of each other to equal one note now obviously I'm exaggerating a little bit you guys could do the math on that but it's thinner and it's significantly thinner definitely noticeable and last device wall compared to probably the most relevant is the iPhone 6 plus this phone was one of the thinner phones when I was first announced and even this compared to the x5 max I mean there's just no comparison doesn't come close the X bar max is just so much thinner even with the rounded edges at the iPhone has it's a president you know one thing I will say just by holding the device for the little period that I've been holding it despite the fact that I has a large screen at 5.5 inches it feels very very easy to hold and it also feels very very light because of device so thin and doesn't have the biggest battery obviously but it's easy to hold I actually like that and that's probably one of the big advantages of having a device so thin and again do you need a smartphone this thin do you want a smartphone this thin I don't know that comes down to personal preference but one thing I will say about having a smartphone this then is it probably opens the door for a manufacturer like Bevo or Apple or anybody else to make a device using similar internals but instead of making it so thin making it about as thick as let's say ìno for here so imagine a device the same internals a stick is enough for with all that extra thickness being used specifically or solely for the batteries so instead of having a three thousand million battery maybe you keep it in a four thousand million battery instead of the iPhone having a two thousand million battery maybe you have a three thousand million battery and so on and so forth maybe you could also fit in a larger camera sensor I mean this one is pre-shooting but maybe if you still have a protruding one you get a bigger sensor in there and finally have cameras that have the quality closer to DSLRs I don't know just a thought but anyways that is it for me in this video if you guys like this video if you guys like this content you want to see more like it make sure to give this video a big thumbs up to show you love subscribe to the channel for more videos just like this actually I have a bunch of videos planned that you guys will not want to miss and up as always thank you guys for watching and I'll see you in the very next episode
