Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The Crazy Color Shifting Smartphone…”.
All right another day, another fresh new smartphone. Today it is the honor 10. Let me tell you this one. It has a unique appearance. I think you’re gon na be interested in. I don’t just have one. I got four of them. That’S because I’m gon na show you every single color variation, they’re gon na have for this particular model, but the first one I want to show you is the color combo that I’m most excited about this one is called phantom green 128 gigabytes of storage, 4 gigabytes Of RAM, of course, there’s gon na be different variations available. Remember this color phantom green show them that when they do look at this the holy smokes. So it almost looks blue in this overhead camera. If I tip a, dare you catch a little purple for a second and then over there its greenish see the teal starts to pick up.
It’S crazy. This thing is almost 4 colors at once. You get like a teal ish, blueish purple-ish, depending on the angle. Now, let’s do a quick peek around the device. You can see the dual camera set up here, a 24 megapixel and 16 megapixel shooter on the back bottom of the device.
Thank goodness we still have a headphone jack. I keep talking about headphone jacks. I think they should still be there.
You have USB type-c to keep it charged up. The speaker unit is in that location right there, power switch here, volume rocker above that SIM tray over here, and you will see it is a dual sim situation there as expected. What else is in the box? They’Ve included a case.
This is always nice to have this included. Now, of course, you could buy something after the fact, but having something in the box is useful, quick charge, power, brick as well as USB type-c cable. So I’m already fairly certain that this color combo is gon na, be my favorite, but since we have the others, we might as well do a quick comparison.
Next up is midnight black, so, as you can see, it still got the reflective back on it. This one is called glacier grey there. It is now this one holy smokes that reflection. It almost makes it look whitish in certain spots and blueish elsewhere.
Okay, last but not least, we have phantom blue. Now. This one is a lot like the first one, but the shift is more of a two-color situation from a dark, rich blue to a purple. It’S like two colors that it’s gon na shift between as opposed to with the green one.
I feel like it’s really. Four anyhow: there you have the three options: phantom blue glacier gray, midnight black and, of course, my favorite phantom green okay. Let’S get back to this guy, let’s take a look at the display here. This is a five point.
Eight four inch display fhd plus and there’s something interesting, you’re gon na notice right away down here. Hopefully you can pick that up. That is the fingerprint scanner which is inside of the bezel. But it’s not a dedicated button with a raised edge like you, would normally have it’s actually under the glass, so the glass is completely flush there. Now this is fairly unusual, this type of implementation – and it’s another thing that makes this device a little different than some of the others that are on the market. So I’m gon na register a fingerprint real, quick ready.
Well, not bad! It’S actually quite strange because that you’re not used to it. Obviously some people out there in the audience are addicted to the idea of a fingerprint sensor on the front. Now the motivation airlie. The reason I think some people are into it is, you can just have the phone on the table and unlock it without picking it up. I know some people, I guess like to read like that or like to use their device like that. So in that sense I guess it’s a little bit more versatile phones, locked boom and then from completely locked boom. That’S an interesting implementation and it’s the first one, I’ve seen quite like it. It’S not under the display itself, but it is under the glass inside. It’S got the cure. 970 processor.
That’S an octa-core processor, that’s powering it! Alright! Now I know you guys are gon na be interested in the camera. So let’s go ahead and boot that up so here’s a little explanation about the built in AI photography. You can see here it brings out the color and the photos intelligently, making adjustments and so on, and this thing it actually works surprisingly well on devices that I’ve tested it previously. Somehow it knows the difference between a plant or food or dog we’re going to test out the orange see.
If you can see this here see up there in the corner, the i mode is selected, and you can see down here that it knows that this orange is food. And what you’ll see is that the camera it can kind of bring up the vibrancy the saturation in knowing what the object is. This again is just a convenience thing like, of course, you could go into some pro mode and make the adjustments yourself, but most people don’t do that. They just kind of rapidly want to fire off some photos, and if the camera can do some of the work in the background, then you can save time and still get decent results.
Food logo showed up again right away. You look at a texture on there. Couple of megapixels there or what well alright last one, let’s see if it can get the plant right away, it actually probably got the plant the fastest.
All right, let’s flip over to video mode here and see what’s available, we can go up to UHD 4k. That’S good to know. Alright, let’s use this camera here to pick up the color shift this particular model.
This one is the phantom blue that you’re checking a look at that whoa. Now I know it’s well. You guys are always waiting for the selfie mode.
You want to see this whole beard in maximum detail in three two one. Oh my that’s your boy right there. If you can count the beard hairs, that’s always a good sign.
Alright, some other specs here it has a 3400 mill amp hour battery, which, for a phone of this size, is actually quite large. Okay, so there’s a really interesting mode in this device called party mode, and this will allow you to link multiple phones in order to amplify one particular song, so that they’re all contributing using the phone speaker to get four times the pal. I have four phones here, but you could link up even more than that’s I’m gon na attempt to do this right now.
They are all ready to go at least I hope so. I’M gon na go ahead over here and start a party boom got it. Oh, it’s already playing on to now. I’M gon na connect manually on this one. We can look at my Wi-Fi, oh man, it’s happening right now.
Each one occupies a different location, so you can see front left front right center and left. So you can actually like a surround sound scenario. Okay, hang on turn these up. If I try to switch tracks, let’s see what happens if I switch tracks instantly.
So, let’s see if I skip forward in a song instantly, [ Applause, ] kind of like Sonos. It’S like pairing, your speakers together, but with your smartphone’s. So if you didn’t have access to like a larger Bluetooth speaker, but you had a few friends around you’d be like let’s amp it up a little bit, it is four times louder. Obviously, a max volume for each one. Well, I definitely haven’t seen a feature like that before it’s interesting. Of course you could have a Bluetooth speaker or some other type of setup in your house, but this is more Fonte Gnaeus, like in the spur of the moment, a bunch of people with phones and all of a sudden.
You have louder music. Now you can also dive into your own music, like it doesn’t have to be these tracks. Specifically, you can see. I just have those three on these devices out of the box. Alright, so there it is the honor 10 you’re, probably wondering about pricing.
It’S not completely official at the time that I am shooting this video. This is an early unboxing video, which is the reason I can’t give you a full evaluation of the device as well, but I do know this is gon na be somewhere around 500 bucks. In that range, maybe 450 euros in that region, so that price point there puts it somewhere in the mid range. I think it’s competitive price point definitely worth paying attention to so stick around for more coverage when I can dive into it a little deeper when it’s officially launched when it’s shipping, when retail units are out there there you have it phantom green, the honor 10, possibly The most ambitious color ever on a smartphone – I don’t know you tell me it’s like four colors in one. You are gon na turn, some heads.
Certainly with that thing, oh, and you guys probably noticed there was some extra devices featured in this article four total. Now, obviously, I can’t use them all, so I think we should probably do a giveaway. Maybe you think that’s a good idea if you do leave a thumbs up down below and we’ll probably do it over on. My Twitter I’ll have a link to that in the description, and maybe you guys can get some of these fresh looks with these uh. These color shifts you can turn some heads for yourself. .
