what's going on guys a märklin sanctum from TechnoBuffalo and today we have a very cool hands-on for you guys there's been a lot of interest in the SmartWatch market recently and we've seen a lot of devices from pebble LG Samsung and many of us but there's one thing to all these wearables have in common and that's that they rely on a smartphone now with the ortho x3 you get a smartphone and a SmartWatch in a single device so you don't really need to connect it to an external handset what's different about the x3 is that you can insert any micro sim card and be on your way that means you can get up and running on a lot of mobile networks across the globe and we actually tried it on t-mobile and it actually worked fairly well and in terms of call quality that extra sounds surprisingly good and the speakers are loud enough to hear someone on the other line and the mic is great too so people were able to hear me even out in busier areas such as the beach and when it comes to performance is expected for what it is a lot is packed into such a small wearable the x3 has a 1.5 4 inch LCD display with a resolution of 240 x 240 a 1.2 gigahertz dual-core processor 500 megabytes of ram 4 gigabytes of internal storage a 5 megapixel camera and an OS based on android 4.0 called or stow which to us strangely looks a lot like windows phone aside from its ability to act as a standalone smartphone the extra performs pretty much every function you'd expect from a SmartWatch it'll feed you notifications give you information and of course tells you the time and a pretty cool thing is that you can actually type directly on a screen too though things obviously get cramp on the 1.5 4 inch screen it's doable but very difficult for longer conversations from a design standpoint or so is pretty decent the watchband definitely gives it a high-end look though the watch itself is huge that's expected of a watch with this kind of functionality but it's still much larger than the devices like the G watch and you're live and when it comes to the battery the xrays battery life isn't the greatest so far we've been able to get through a full workday but you definitely have to charge it overnight which is the same kind of problem we've seen with other Android wear devices unless you have something like the pebble steel which can go for about a week or so says it because of x3 is based on android 4.0 you can actually use thousands of apps from social media to fitness to games and puzzles but unfortunately the watch won't connect to our Wi-Fi so we couldn't really download anything to show you guys now when it comes to the camera it's pretty awful it's only there for video calls and selfies but the lens itself isn't particularly wide which means it's right up in your grill but you can also use the camera to take normal pictures but the results aren't that great especially compared to a phone compared to something like the pebble steel or Google's Android where the x-ray definitely stands out but stuffing an entire phone into a wearable definitely has its limitation it's not nearly powerful enough to replace the phone you have now and it's 1.5 inch screen means you can't comfortably browse the web or look at pictures the ability to make and receive phone calls is pretty impressive though and this would be a neat gadget to travel with if you were concerned about losing your phone but I wouldn't recommend this is a replacement for something like the galaxy s5 especially for the price actually will cost you almost six hundred dollars when you can buy something like the one plus one for three hundred dollars or a nexus 5 for three hundred fifty dollars or says X 3 is a gadget that embraces the 21st century but unfortunately you fall short in a lot of areas this is definitely a luxury item if you have the money and it might be a fun device to try out but otherwise it needs a lot of work before we can challenge the current crop smartwatches anyways that's it for this video guys is just a quick hands-on and look at the or so x3 SmartWatch if you guys have any questions let us know in the comments down below and as always a marklin sanger from technobuffalo i'll see you guys in the next video thank you guys for watching this video and if you want to see more please hit that subscribe button down there
