Huawei GX8 Unboxing and First Impressions: Another pretty mid range phone | Pocketnow

[@YourTechExplained]

Great job Juan! Loved the video. - Ben

[@TAEbot]

Thank you for speeding up the unboxing. Very annoying when other videos sit there a go into detail showing the paperwork, charger, sim tool etc...

[@GameBench]

Best channel on youtube !!

[@ratata2315]

great vid Juan, im have been waiting a long time to guys reviews that phone

[@jasonburns1352]

yes that is true mate can't wait for your review to see if it is worth buying

[@aliedawnwood]

I know I can trust this KZbin account. thanks you got being amazing

[@joserobertocastellon]

What stylus are you using? Is it the active kind? would you recommend it? thanks!

[@cesar6479]

And great first impressions video, juan would u rather get the galaxy a5, a7, or a9 or this huawei gx8

[@ianyapyewan]

I like how you show the real time boot up video at the top edge. Nice addition to a phone introduction video. Next time, maybe touch it up with a frame?

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

+ianyapyewan I thought about that, but wanted to avoid cutting up the main frame any more. I should at least pop in a drop shadow though.

[@maxmarx2]

Bagnell is killing it!!

[@Kevinjandro]

Great review my friend!!!

[@librarch1]

Have been watching the reviews you post on your personal channel for a long time, how long have you been on the Pocketnow team? Great as always.

[@Brunoxid0]

Wow. That was a long boot up! I hope it was just the first one like that.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

+Bruno Techera Since then it's behaved much better.

[@princevegeta7189]

Great Review 👍

[@Burntime2000]

thx, at least in the us there are reviewers who are capable of pronouncing huawei in the right way

[@johammond400]

great video dude

[@KindWally]

Which sim/SD configuration do you usually rock when reviewing new devices? Do ever you go with dual sims or do you just use an SD card?

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

+KindWally I only have the one SIM personally. I should sign up with two carriers to actually test some of these features, but for the GX8, it'll go one sim and my SD card.

[@madcaprahin1234]

Which kind of stylus are you using? Does the phone have a digitizer that can recognize pen tips?

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

+nihar kumthekar Stilo pen! I reviewed it on my old channel. Kinda pricey, but one of the better options I've found.

[@madcaprahin1234]

+JuanBagnell thank you... i will have a look..:-)

[@MarcoMelendres]

Thank you for being the only person on the planet who doesn't pretend the A9 doesn't exist lol, everyone sorta brushed it off. Anyway, great video!

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

+Marco Melendres LOL To be fair there are A LOT of phone for people to compare against.

[@johnX03]

In Amazon UK this is available with 32gb storage and 3gb ram. I'm thinking of getting one.

[@DanielGomez-td9fk]

What is the price of this device?

[@dtadeo2006]

How different is the G7 Plus from this G8/GX8?

[@hugomorales74]

where can i get that gold theme? I loved it.

[@annamacdonough4751]

Does anyone know if you're able to download apps on to this phone because he said that it doesn't have an App Store

[@seanmcdermott1987]

Anna mac donough 😂😂😂 OMFG U ARE SO DUMB 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jessechuff]

god i looked away from the corner with the boot up and at the end i looked back and was surprised it was still booting. im sure it was just a one time thing but still really surprising.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

+Mentalitarium It's been much better behaved since, but that was a surprisingly long first boot.

[@alihejazi2060]

so how it's different from the honor 5x ? and how Huawei will justify the 100 $ difference ?

[@gaspersavle161]

Ali Hejazi Duuuuhhh its gold *in kim kardashian voice*

[@4bfre]

where can i get that stylus from?

[@RionellKoay]

why you guys didn't review the new samsung alpha series?

[@judazr]

good phone, but at this price range nothing can beat the redmi note 3 pro, that thing is a beast for the price

[@aliedawnwood]

is there a video on this account for that phone?

[@judazr]

+Maria Gomes nope, search for it on c4etech, if you speak spanish theres 2 channels that made the best reviews on that phone, android from china and el camionero geek. really, the redmi note 3 pro its at the time one of the best price/quality phones out there

[@simoneric]

Bagnel is dope........ reminds me of Brandon Miniman

[@Sithhy]

Can someone tell me what was the game at 03:40?

[@VictorHernandez-cz1be]

Trying to find the name, too.

[@joaopcoutinho]

+Victor Hernandez I wanna know too

[@idletime7318]

+Skitty™ | Garry's Mod Player Sector Strike

[@dtadeo2006]

+idletime7 Thank you! I love shmups!

[@TheSaniv]

Can someone tell me what was the game

[@Link09216]

The international version comes in a snapdragon 615 and has 32gb of onboard storage.

[@anandtiwari6877]

IS HUAWEI GX8 IS BEST OR XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 3

[@gyankarkera8015]

The earphones aren't that bad,they have a pretty decent sound quality :)

[@randomlyboring8358]

yes!

[@seanmcdermott1987]

I'm using them right now lol

[@senorculo6118]

juan lives in reseda california everyone!

[@Rolyataylor2]

The screen is TFT vs IPS? why would the more expensive phone have a TFT screen?

[@robinWrath16]

what is the real name of it..?? is it G8 or GX8 ? i really confused!!!

[@noodlery7034]

Robin Mercenary G8=European GX8= american maimang 4=chinese but has the same specs as gx8

[@cmcv]

Boot loading time is a eternity.

[@Adnanahamadkhan]

which stylus yor usin...???

[@ibrahimsheikh1897]

He reviewed it on his channel. Look up his name and find the video on the stylus.

[@MajorLeagueBassboost]

actually, you should have gooten the 32gb rom/3gb ram unit. Much better, suggested it to one of my friends, he loves it.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

+Moritz “もりツ” Vogt This is the one Huawei pitched us, so I guess this is the one they want to show off to North America.

[@MajorLeagueBassboost]

JuanBagnell lol that´s unfortunate.

[@moodesigner]

Whats the name of the game at 3:44?

[@thiran4863]

Little harsh on the ear phones, i have them they are good not that bad bagell!

[@kamalhm-dev]

The new redmi note 3 is so much better for far lower price

[@chakdefiji]

+Kamal H I think the Redmi Note 3 is equal to this phone performance wise, but edges out in price.

[@viyusavery248]

+Shivam Kumar but the pro destroys this and is cheaper

[@Sakuyushi]

+Kamal H they also give you a backdoor ^^

[@Hellraiser14]

i agree , the jonas brothers are much better than justin bieber

[@tangyspy]

+Музыкальная Машина you ever touched a Mi4?

[@yovannyt]

what is the name of the games?

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

+Yovanny Toribio Sector Strike!

[@morells09]

Did Hayato get fired?

[@stefanstoica13]

p9 lite or gx8?????????

[@callummackie4829]

I have a a 32gb G8 with 3gb of RAM. I thought the GX8 was the Name for the 16gb model with 2gb of ram.

[@BrendenPragasam]

why don't OEMs have a stock Android button.....

[@Sithhy]

What is a "stock Android button"?

[@BrendenPragasam]

Its a button in the setup that lets people choose from stock Android and the modded skin the phone comes with

[@AlFatihaOnRS]

Omg that bootup was crazy slow

[@dragonfist25]

Not a bad starter phone..

[@veprooto]

what's the theme name

[@jasonburns1352]

looks better than that HTC a9

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

+Jason Burns It's a least a little more original for being a rounded corner glowing rectangle.

[@ImperiaGin]

Seems like the moto x pure is a overall better device for a little more

[@huynhtranhung]

Moto is dead. I won't buy a Lenovo phone in the future.

[@TommyCrosby]

I wish reviewers should refuse to review Android phones that don't have the latest version of Android 6 months after it was released. Since Android L, Google have tried to make things better by releasing previews of what was coming to address the update problem but still, it didn't change much for customers. At this point, we should just ignore them, I guess that would make them move their ass...

[@mogamycool3498]

huawei g8 is different from gx8 . g8 has 3g ram and 32 internal mem.

[@mrslicsico6063]

one plus one still tops it

[@cesar6479]

instead of buying a new midrange smartphone might as well get an old flagship like the note 4

[@chengyihhaur327]

Huawei G8 has 3GB ram and 32GB built in storage... It's different model than Huawei GX 8

[@rusliirawanri]

The best Chinese phone ever

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

+Rusli Irawan Huawei has been impressing me lately.

[@Gusttox]

I like the design. It's beautiful. But that android skin? Ughhhh... Ugliest skin ever Imo.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Man Hound LOL yeah. I'm not a fan of EMUI.

[@mateajb8658]

Buy it or not? :/

[@travisporter2070]

what game is that

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

+Travis Porter Sector strike!

[@travisporter2070]

+JuanBagnell thank you

[@mrnarason]

I don't see a reason a choose this over the honor given the $100 extra it cost.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

+Victor P. It's going to be a tricky market to examine right. How much more phone do you really get for that $100?

[@Zandaia]

it's called G8 in some countries and called G7+ in China. So Wtf?

[@loukahenry4876]

Better Than Ezer! What's up, gxys. buzz control What's your opinion about mt

[@briancaster2876]

Did anyone else hear a lot of buzz in this video? Or is it just my phone?

[@rohanie98]

Just your phone

[@anselborres7103]

The earbuds of iphone :O Copying

[@carlosfelipearaujo]

looks a homemade phone

[@arnand1st727]

Why is pocketnow doesnt review xiaomi's phone? its better than huawei and oppo...

[@ArthurDent12]

Xiaomi is not sold in the States. They only review phones that is sold officially there.

[@arnand1st727]

+Arthur Dent oh so thats why.. thank you...

[@ArthurDent12]

I am a huge fan of Xiaomi though.

[@arnand1st727]

+Arthur Dent me too😃. they made a great phone with affordable price

[@ArthurDent12]

+Arnanda Awal I bought the redmi 2 for my sister's first smartphone. I'm jealous of her phone now. When the redmi 3 gets released outside China with the big freaking battery, you can bet your paycheck that I'll pick it up.

[@jdagalla]

lmao 😂😂😂

[@BossKing1243]

Every phone uses the iPhone 6 design df

[@BossKing1243]

+shili yang Not this one, but others I mean.

[@Games49oogle]

+AtlanticGaming so not every phone then

[@ImperiaGin]

+AtlanticGaming it's a square device with a screen oh shit it's an iPhone.

[@ImperiaGin]

+Jackson Whitlow there isn't much you can do. It has internals, a camera, battery, a back and a front. The front is a touch screen and is a square. Literally they can't do much more inventing all they can do is improve and refine.

[@BossKing1243]

+Rosssyyy Did you really think I meant every phone...

[@mikem5519]

Android n aka Android no app drawer

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

+Mike M I'll hold out until Google actually removes it from stock Android. Though I think that would be a terrible idea. I'll just also put shortcuts to ALL the programs on my PC on the desktop...

[@gj9157]

No.

[@dhruvchincholikar6251]

first!

[@xaviermiller7479]

people sm

[@Tony_A_441]

lol shipped with Android 5.1... smh

[@Sithhy]

What's so bad in this that you're shaking your head?

[@Cryptokhokhar]

emui ....sucks too

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

+Shehryar pervaiz The phone body is REALLY nice. I like it a lot, but yeah the software is a pain.

[@Cryptokhokhar]

Right .

[@JunpeiShibayama]

2GB RAM. Quit. Nope. Just no....

[@eganplaysMC]

2 gb of RAM is plenty for a smartphone... In fact, there is no differnce in the speed of a 2gb phone and a 4gb phone...

[@JunpeiShibayama]

+ItsEganTime you might be right but the Tablet I got from a friend has 1gig ram and an Intel Atom. It's slow as shit... Seriously... MEDION.

[@eganplaysMC]

+Junpei 1gb is very different than 2gb

[@JunpeiShibayama]

+ItsEganTime but 3 gb are also different from 2. Just to add. But you are right. 2gigs are good. Had the S4 and worked fine too :)

[@viyusavery248]

overpriced

[@elainabarton]

rip off

[@Arkosis]

I don't understand... $299 is an offer nowadays for a pretty good phone

[@Cryptokhokhar]

this looks so fake n cheap

[@MrBusta84]

Yup
