just when you think they're going to run out of innovative and interesting and dare I say magical ways to deal with this screen to body ratio obsession you get met with some new form factor today we've got the latest to unveil itself this is the honor magic too this is a slider phone like the old days it was a slider phone this one is kind of different in the sense that the goal here is to unveil or hide the front-facing camera equipment now if you watched the previous video Nubia another smartphone maker attempted to get this maximum screen to body ratio by moving another screen onto the back of the device it's kind of exciting it's imaginative and why not who knows what the proper implementation is maybe it's this this model in front of me has eight gigs of RAM and a hundred and twenty eight gigs of storage now this is only available currently in certain regions I've got the Chinese writing here on the unit itself type C cable a type C audio adapter because there is no headphone jack on this device the headphone jack continues to be neglected now you're gonna notice right away it's got a crazy ambitious camera set up on the rear three camera modules here including the bottom unit and then of course AI vision is written on there so I'm assuming the camera has some degree of AI capabilities the construction feels pretty good it's weighty it's all glass and metal very nice but here is the action this is what you've been waiting for boom oh man that is satisfying I expected it to be satisfying it's like an adult fidget spinner if these things become popular if this becomes the de-facto standard smartphone bezel list implementation you're gonna have a bunch of people sitting around doing this this is rated for many more uses than whatever motor might be inside some of those other implementations okay let me put this up Wow that is a cool wallpaper or you guys see in the action there it's animated it does have a bit of a chin I mean some people get mad about this cuz it's not completely symmetrical this doesn't really bug me that much it protects the clean aspect ratio no bulges no notches as you can see the display goes to the top boom boom there you go you need to take a front-facing image you need to take a selfie your quick bit of a magic trick dare I say I think the ladies are gonna love that right there you see and just an addictive fidgety thing to begin with as I mentioned before whole my god if I carry this thing around I'm having conversations like go on ah interesting very nice yeah pardon see that again it's a little much let's launch the camera it's like hey slide it down okay very nice there's beauty happening I'm I am NOT this beautiful beauty level zero that's better that's pretty nice it's realistic how many megapixels on this front camera will that's a 16 megapixel front-facing image the crazy part is I don't even take that many selfies in real life and part of me feels like a lot of you guys are in the same boat so it's it's it's amazing the engineering workarounds that companies are having to come up with to solve a problem that most people only face from time to time see what I did face face the problem face the problem from time to time okay so the display is F HD plus it is also OLED it's quite vibrant is that the type of display you can get behind a job okay now other considerations of course the earpiece it's able through a channel there to feed through this region I believe it's just a mono speaker but I don't know I'll give it a try here it feels like there's a tiny bit of sound coming out of the earpiece section the vast majority is coming out of the bottom grill here so there's nothing special it's getting the job done it's an average speaker I thought there might be a bit of a compromise with the whole sliding action it seems most if not all 99% of the sound is coming out of this little bottom unit 6.39 inch device it's actually kind of crazy to get that screen size but like in this grip it's got the ki-rin 980 it should also have the night mode I'm guessing for photo does go pitch-black let's see what happens look at this that's in pitch black like it's just it's it's bringing life to the darkness it's pitch black in here ladies and gentlemen so it's got the crazy night mode battery is 3,500 milliamp hours nothing crazy it's probably more of a marvel of engineering than you can possibly fully appreciate from where you're at when you hold it it's like man it feels surprisingly practical and like less of a gimmick then you might think when you first saw the announcement or saw the images floating around online price-wise it's gonna be somewhere flagship territory between six and seven hundred bucks it's only gonna be sold in certain markets so you're gonna have to check that out for yourself I'll try to track down a link and put it in the description but right now the thing is just kind of hard to get your hands on especially if you're like me here in North America you guys are gonna have to decide is this the type of implementation that brands should be going for is this acceptable to you it kind of feels like too much for a function that really doesn't get utilized that much if you're gonna be doing this all day and it's like how often are you really using that front-facing camera and then the rest of the time are you just goofing around like this doing thousands of movements and cycles on the slider nonetheless you got to respect the feat of engineering the honor magic too I'm gonna slide my way out of here
