A Smart Phone for $200? - Real Day in the Life!

2017-07-12
what's going on guys the travelers consumer and today we're going to be spending a real day in the life with the LG stylo 3 plus a phone that cost less than $200 now if you've never seen one of my real games of life videos this is where I take you on a full day of usage with the phone so I could let you know how it holds up in the real world a huge shout out to MetroPCS for not only sponsoring today's video but putting this phone on my radar but they asked for a real day in the life test so here we go alright guys so right now we are at the park and I got to test out the camera first and foremost it's one of the most important features on a phone to me so I've got my dog cookie here we're going to take a bunch of pictures with her and see how it goes oh ho you see that all right cook up you want it all right we got one shot sit I contact over here yeah yeah got a couple of shots deadly good girl you deserve it so let's actually take a look at one of those pictures so not bad look at her she's cute it actually looks really sharp ok cookie you ready kiss I missed it cookie kiss kiss let's see if I got it let's see if I got it woo there we go alright so the selfie we took really not that bad but once you zoom in you can kind of start seeing the imperfections here like some artifacting so it does look a little weird when you zoom in really really close but for the most part it's not bad for the price God keep that in mind this is actually pretty solid so feature I'm really happy to see on this phone is the fingerprint scanner so I just tapped my finger right here and it turns it on really quickly I don't even have to press the button so that is awesome definitely happy to see that here alright guys so right now we're headed to GPS store we got to return some dresses that Ari didn't want so let's go do this so while I was taking care of that on a person Pokemon go see there's anything interesting around there's actually pokey stuff out there I have to leave her for a bit and go check that out all right so that pokey top was kind of far but I got me a little poliwag over here now I know everybody's like a Pokemon goes dead but you know me I don't care who caught it haha alright so I haven't had a chance to check out the data speeds on MetroPCS so I want to know where I'm merging with throughout the day so I got speed test open let's see what we've got so it's testing the ping oh oh what this thing was hitting thirties okay so looks like we're capping out of Oh cut that about 29 megabits so that is really impressive little well of it in 29 before too so we got to see what that upload is like it's not one-sided Oh what Oh what the heck he'll come from behind win let's try that again let's see you can't just do one you know that download speed is impressive 30 yo it's like Jonah oh okay 37 down uploads what that's quite dirty nah that's not well I don't know I'm in New Jersey so he speeds all right over here wow that is crazy good alright so I think it's safe to say we'll do all that for the rest of the day about that I was insane so hours angry to somebody's account there well right now we're using the GPS as oh well we're using the phone as a GPS because we're going to go get some ramen some Japanese curry and we are super height but we also have been putting this battery through its paces we've been playing Pokemon I've been playing Pokemon girl I've been using it as a GPS here and we took a bunch of photos and videos worth cooking yeah we've got 20 minute car right oh yeah yeah yeah so we'll be using it for a while what's it out right now can you see 73% we're a good chunk of the way in in terms of the day so not bad this has a 3000 milliamp hour battery I think it's 3050 milliamp hours so it's a pretty sizable battery should last throughout the whole day hopefully all right well as you guys can see we are at Gundam Planet had to make a quick pit stop before we got some ramen but we have about 66% left and how long overdrive was up that's 25 minutes 25 minutes so a lot of GPS battery definitely took a hit but we'll see how long it lasts throughout the rest of the day all right so right now we're done the planet so this is the perfect place for some indoor shots and there's just so much goodness around but instead of a Gundam limping picture of this little tiny Goku over here so we could get from this not bad well no absolutely mmm a little soft I'd say the center is fine but it looks like around the edges it gets really soft well maybe because he's further back it might just be a traditional thing let's see if I move him closer okay it was actually just out of focus now let's try this again okay so this is the newer one let's see Goku sharp he looks good yeah piccolo was just out of focus before not bad Instagram where D I'd say yeah so he has been known to take hours shopping for Gunpla and I'm not interested in that at all so I figure I'll catch up on the mcclure twins they these are my favorite little things to watch they're so cute imma to myself I know if you guys know that but I am and I just see me my sister and I'm so much cute but this is a perfect time to look at the display and talk about a little bit so wait a 5.7 inch display here which is pretty nice it's nice and big perfect for watching YouTube videos and we have a 1080p display as well so it looks really really good I'm liking the thin bezel at the top and the bottom but yeah definitely complacence from the display it's nice and bright colorful what it is guys so here is the food and it looks amazing I'm so excited so I got to take some pictures let's see how the new camera does with a some food shot off it so they're the ramen though let's see oh the pictures are good Wow these will be really good like hi I'm really surprised this really honestly does not feel like a budget phone battery life is pretty good so far - I've got 49% and I'm over 2 hours of screen on time so it's looking really solid for about one hundred nine bucks alright guys so we finished eating food we're actually recording this section of the video with the LG silo but this camera records in 1080p so you're getting 1080p footage you're also getting the audio from the camera so this is what you can expect it to sound like look like okay that's not what you think alright guys so we're back home got the phone in hand first off do you guys see this desk do you see how things have changed already we got a bigger desk and a date through a bunch of makeup on here but I can't complain I have my own set ups in other places so you know she's doing okay we either way this is the LG stylo plus 3 right as we've been talking about and the reason why it has that name is actually because right here you got a stylus and as you can see you get a couple of different little menu items over here you can just drag this thing put it wherever you want and get access to these little items so pretty much this is good for like writing notes let's say you want to jot something down really quickly or maybe even do a screen capture let's say no to that and then add something to here so let's say I want to highlight this boom so you can easily do something like this whenever you want so you know cool little features honestly I've never been much of a guy who uses the stylus much in the phone so like in your note series something like this I'll probably don't see myself using it that much but it is super useful when you have to sign documents and send stuff like that over which I have to do a lot so I there is some use for it so if you like that kind of feature it's available here I got to say that I just found a pretty cool feature of this little pop lens right here you can actually use this and drag around the this little magnifying glass which could make it a lot easier to tap things that are typically small on a screen like this so like small text you can go ahead and grab this make it that much easier to click I think that's actually pretty cool so right now it's like the crack of dawn it's like 255 in the morning I spent a lot of the day working on this video that I have coming up so doing a few videos at once had this one in this other video that shot but besides that I really wasn't on the phone to the end of the day I still got about 17 percent left and we're looking at almost four hours of screen on time so three hours and 54 minutes and I gotta say this thing was pretty much a trooper we beat it down with a ton a ton of GPS stuff from home on go to using the GPS to get home and back from the ramen spot we really put it to work in terms of battery life so three hours and almost four hours of screaming on time seems pretty good to me I'm really really too surprised that this phone as a whole I really didn't expect it to be much of an experience because it's it's 180 bucks at this price claim the quality that you're getting here is very surprising so job to LG for putting out a really good phone this is something that I can see myself recommending to like older family members who don't really care for all the bells and whistles we'll want a good phone that they can see easily on since I have a huge screen and just performs well a pretty good battery life and it's waffle bowl - yeah so you can even swap out the battery lots of good stuff going for this phone now something I've told you guys before I'm not a fan of the LG homescreen that does not have an app door because it can just get super cluttered some people really don't care but for me I don't really like this because I just don't like having my apps everywhere but there is a solution of being able to use the homescreen with an app drawer and unlike the LG G 6 this one looks a lot cleaner so here you can see it I can just access the app drawer right there and I've got everything that I need right there instead of having it all over the screen and of course you can always go with the Google now launcher or something like that - so you can switch it up however you want but I am liking the fact that the version with the app drawer looks nice and clean now in terms of performance I'll be honest with you guys I haven't had any issues you guys saw me playing pokemon go earlier and right now I'm just playing some Mario run I really haven't encountered any games that could slow me down and all the basic stuff like snapchat and Instagram Twitter all that stuff runs completely fine whoa what happened there anywho everything runs completely fine so like I said no issues honestly it's just really really surprising the kind of quality and performance you can get out of a sub $200 phone this is definitely one to look into if you're on a budget so there you guys have it we spent a full day with the phone and I of course spent some more time with the after that give you guys a better formulated opinion but I got to say I was completely blown away by what you can get for less than $200 but this phone is imperfect it has a really solid 5.7 inch 1080p display which is huge and I was able to watch all of my favorite things with no problem but I got to say it the speaker placement is pretty weak and it's got all the features you come to expect like a fingerprint scanner micro SD card slot for expandable storage on top of the 32 gigs it comes with a stylus for those of you who are interested in that as well as the almost extinct replaceable battery and speaking of the battery this one has a pretty decent one as you guys saw it lasted throughout the day with a bunch of GPS activities and camera tests now the camera is what I do think the pricing shows a bit my issues with the camera is that unless you have a steady hand it seems like you can run into some issues with blurry or soft pictures this definitely isn't the camera you want to take own photography or video seriously with but if you're just looking for something to throw some pictures on social media or maybe just capture a moment this will definitely do the trick performance wise I didn't feel limited at all since I was able to do all of my daily activities with no problem now we all know that this isn't going to compete with the galaxy s 8 of the world but if you have or maybe you're interested in metro pcs they do offer the galaxy s 8 as well as a bunch of other premium devices but that's about it for this video guys this is a great budget phone that I honestly didn't know is this good so if you're looking for something under $200 this should definitely be on your list and if you're interested in me looking at more phones at this lower price range and kind of weeding out which ones are the good one let me know if or comment down below but if you enjoyed the video be the cool guy or girl that gives it a thumbs up and I'll catch you guys in the next one till then it's your average consumer please
