would you look at that the Samsung Galaxy S nine plus here on unbox therapy that doesn't make any sense this phone is not out yet it hasn't even been announced yet so what is this box right here then well it's what I think is a high-quality knockoff of the eventual Galaxy S nine this was shipped to me from China it's around a hundred bucks and I have three colors here look it even has this Samsung logo at the top here do not accept if seal is broken but like that's not even sealing anything the font looks a little off the real box for the s9 doesn't exist yet so that phone just turned on in the package I just heard a chime they claim it's an AMOLED display I'm very skeptical of that for $100 dual pixel 12 megapixel cameras they copied what they think the s9 box is gonna look like and it's honestly it's pretty close this wouldn't be dipped in like that Oh in the gold the power brick looks exactly like the Samsung power brick a headset USB type-c whoo reasonably high quality feels heavy enough the thinking at this moment is that the fingerprint scanner is gonna move to this location here there was a lot of criticism about the placement on the SAS 8 plus because it was placed next to the camera and it was the same shape this design here seems much better it also looks like the dual lenses are recessed a little bit more into the body of the device could you grab me an S 8 that's the old location and you can see it was next to the camera lens button layout is identical though USB type-c headphone jack is still there and a speaker you can assume that they've gone in and tried to skin it as closely as possible this is definitely not stock Android it's meant to look like a galaxy s 9 the haptic feedback has a little more buzz to it since it is $100 device there's a little bit of lag there that's perceivable you would not expect this to be at the top performer all things considered can't be though it's obvious now this is definitely not OLED from my angle this display is very dim you see look at you've got quite a bit of a bigger chin there no one expects to see that in the finished product how are you gonna get a bigger bezel now never mind the camera that's worth trying out too crazy slow shutter that's not as bad as I expected the camera app itself that's not what Samsung's app looks like I can't imagine the eventual s9 being this heavy I should try out the fingerprint scanner in that location there though because that is one of the biggest developments believe it or not this one over here got so much criticism and I love that when people complain about a particular decision and then manufacturer goes back and makes the adjustment all right so that's the gold model you would never pull out a brand new Samsung phone and have these smudges on it but I got to say the blue is kind of nice that's the black right there it's pretty close to the regular s8 black look at how much of a fingerprint magnet the real deal even is so these colors here are informed by the history of Samsung's color choices I think they called this one champagne inor but it's also worth noting that if this is the eventual design it's kind of a more iterative one it's not a huge adjustment to the previous version it's not like they went back and tried to reinvent the wheel here of course with glass you also get wireless charging capabilities and it just seems to be the direction that everyone's going in now now keep in mind these are nothing but clones these are this is speculation in a physical form it would be unlikely for a manufacturer to do that unless they were fairly confident that this would be close to the eventual model of course I do not recommend going to buy these things these things are crazy sketchy let's try to play some YouTube here and see what happens to get better battery life we have to have a bigger battery not good I want to play the speaker on the real one might as well it's right here way better night and day I mean you got to give the knockoff artist some credit though ninety-nine bucks they put the package together holy smokes but I'm sticking to my guns here you're gonna want to avoid this one and wait for the real thing it has kind of piqued my interest a little bit more in the eventual s9 now I use the SA for an extended period of time the cameras really good of course to display all signs are pointing to an improvement on the previous version and that's really what you hope to see now granted you can always be out there wishing and hoping that the next version of each phone is like a completely new and shocking thing but that's just not realistic once you have something that's good it just makes more sense to build on top of it but who knows the actual s 9 or s 9 plus it might be my favorite we'll see can it knock off the pixel to excel if Samsung's implementation of the dual system is finally the kill or implementation that everyone's always wanted this phone could crush I hope it's not a thousand bucks to start but of course time will tell as I said don't buy the clone kind of cool nonetheless
