what's up guys Lew here back with another video today it's gonna be a little something different that's cuz I was thinking talking to Jack trying to figure out something interesting a new kind of series recently you may have seen a video in which I switched in which I switched to the blackberry print as my personal daily device essentially what happened was I took my same card out of my Galaxy s6 active put it into the BlackBerry print and then went on to use that for I guess what is now almost three weeks getting all these phones coming into the unbox therapy headquarters all the time it was like men how do I decide which one to use and for how long and so on and so on and so on so I decided that the best way to deal with this influx of phones is to use them as my personal device remove the SIM card insert it into the next device and actually fully transition my lifestyle the purpose of this video is to continue that transition from the BlackBerry Prive and now into the hot fresh galaxy s7 sitting in front of me right here as you can tell it's also wearing a very slick D brand tuxedo there Sam is gonna tell you a little bit about my experience with the BlackBerry some of the differences benefits drawbacks and what I'm looking forward to with the s7 so the Prem I was concerned about switching to this device how well was BlackBerry gonna be able to integrate a real Android OS on to some of their hardware of course this also features the full keyboard which I mean how would that all work it hasn't been as much of a transition as I expected compared to my galaxy s6 as much as I like the texture of the material on the back it's just a big phone you know angular corners and whatnot moving from that to the s7 my goodness the s7 is one of them comfiest phones i've ever held it's got curves in all the right places sometimes you forget just how nice it is to have that real single-handed fun shonali associated with a manageable screen this super slim edge on the edge just makes it a tiny bit less comfortable to hold in my opinion nonetheless this is the one that I'm going to be using for the next little while now just to wrap up a little bit on the BlackBerry I would say it's a fairly easy transition for somebody coming from Android afterall it's running Android and everything you would expect to find on Android I got a lot less use out of the keyboard then I expect it to get unless it was for scrolling this touchpad that exists on here is kind of nice maybe if my mobile lifestyle was more text eccentric tech centric text centric the keyboard and some of its functionality is cool for that as far as like moving around your cursor without having to try and find it with your finger the speaker at first I was a little worried about it I was like and it seems like it should sound louder I tried it out with a bunch of different sources and I determined after some time that the speaker is actually pretty good and it's forward-facing I think ultimately the thing that I'm going to be happiest to get away from is the camera it is just not on the level of the cameras in the s7 and s7 edge things I'm most excited for about the s7 this very manageable form factor incredibly comfy to hold just having my lock switch back on the on the right hand side instead of the left getting the really quick fingerprint sensor back is also a plus I have swapped out the theme there's a theme called Android 6.0 in the theme store which gives you a far more Nexus like look to your s7 I highly recommend it because you have the plain black background in conclusion I would say that what we're finding here is a lot more parody as far as manufacturers are concerned once upon a time there was this vast gap between the market leaders and everybody else and that thing is shrinking now sure the s7 is still sort of at the cusp it's at the bleeding edge from a performance standpoint these new devices are now water-resistant up to one hour I believe in a foot of water who doesn't want that also expandable storage both of these devices feature it they drop the expandable storage on the last generation now they've added it back how can you hate on that so it's the big moment now it is time switch SIM cards I have the tool of choice we're gonna move from the BlackBerry Prive to the s7 I'm excited it's like a like a religious experience here it's a combo tray how cool is that how dare you it's like it's like it's freaking out without its SIM card it's screaming for life ready set boom stay tuned to my social media Twitter Instagram and so on to see all the pictures I'm shooting on this device from this point forward two weeks we shall start our relationship and then I will swap you out for something new keep it locked it starts now you and I and sometimes Jack
