now here's a phone that has captured the attention of the Internet probably you as well I know the moment I saw it I was like Willy do we have to get our hands on it it's very important we've talked so much about notches on the front of displays and the different tactics that manufacturers are taking to eliminate that notch this device in front of me is probably the craziest implementation I've seen it's the Nubia X this one shipped straight from Asia as a snapdragon 845 I mean I first clash like okay yeah it looks like a phone right what about the back it's reflective it's blue no big deal right well it is a big deal that's a display hitting underneath here dual camera setup Sony sensor this looks like an IR blaster up on the top your fingerprint scanner is right here where your thumb rests and the screen just lit up wool that's a look ladies and gentlemen that's a pretty look six point two six inches F HD plus you can see that it is a steel frame the whole thing feels solid oh does it know what that's crazy it knows based on the way you're holding it I guess which screen you want to use look at this for the selfie look at that holy that is strange and just like that you're taking a selfie on the back of the device on the back of your smartphone you're using the rear camera for your selfie and there's a couple of beard hairs there might I say wow this is bizarre and then how do I get I wonder how I get that one goes like goes off and then and then I come back in then I'm on the front it's the same image but the higher resolution display I'm squeezing it right now what is this is that a function well that's a squeeze function it's a lot of unusual things going on with this device oh wow okay press the fingerprints at both sides and do not release so these dual fingerprint scanners are used sort of like squeeze on the pixel device they actually serve a purpose you hold it and then flip it and you flip back to the other display it's a double-sided fingerprint authentication that's pretty well it's gotta get the thumb and the index look at this pay with double sided fingerprints verify with double sided fingerprints at the same time to make payments more safely but it looks like you can also use it for various functions including left side back right side home left side home right side back so you can use them as navigation buttons also there's a lot of crazy ideas going on inside of this phone ideas that I have never seen before but really what this whole thing is about is this crazy display on the front possibly the highest screen to body ratio I've ever seen and no motorized functionality necessary unlike the other devices that are out there that rely on a camera to pop up from the rear this is just a solid slab if you need to take a selfie or use a front-facing camera then you simply flip it around and you're met with that I think for most people they're just they're not even going to really use this backside that often it's just gonna be for selfie purposes now the major benefit of this type of setup is you get the camera unit on the rear of the device which typically in smartphones like this is the better camera of the bunch you can also use it to showcase an always-on clock you can have that power on on a schedule also so it could be kind of your nighttime clock or whatever on the bedside table alright so here's the thing I mean this is obviously incredibly over-engineered they were trying to give you no distraction I mean obviously with a setup like this you're getting all screen when you when you watch a video that you know you're not gonna be cut off by any type of obstruction it's like bringing a gun to a knife fight or something if you only use the rear of the device when you need it then who really cares if there's a display or they can be useful for you whenever you see fit and you don't want to be nervous about some motorized functionality potentially wearing out like you see on some other devices that have attempted to go notch lists I assume this thing is going to be fairly expensive considering the fact that they've got a house this extra display in it now here's the thing should I use it could I use should I see if there if it bothers me that much maybe I should as of right now there's some some really interesting and unusual things in here that I think require a bit more attention the Nubia X let me know in the comments is this the next one I need to do a switch here soon I think Otis is convinced over there he's jumping around he likes the double screen but the question is do you like the double screen
