I bought an $80 iPhone 15 Pro Max Knockoff that claims to have a SECOND SCREEN!

Timestamps are integrated into the video for each segment.
I tried to cut down on the rambling but it still ended up going for 46 minutes so if you need to use the timestamps to skip along then that's completely fine!
I also don't endorse the sales of knockoff/fake products. This is shown for entertainment and educational purposes only.
Don't get scammed with these devices that have misleading specs. Stick with reputable manufacturers!
======================================================
Greetings and welcome to another installment in the iWish series, a series in which I purchase various questionable products to see if they are any good...most of the time they are not but I buy this stuff so you don't have to!
Once again this item was found on a Live Stream I did and you folks were all VERY curious when this popped up.
A WELCOME with a Secondary Screen!
Too good to be true? Well...let's see if it works or if it is just a sticker they've thrown on it.
Thank you to all the folks who did donate during that live stream and an even bigger thank you to Everyday Blind/King Cobra for his massive donation he did. Absolute mad lad!
I really hope you all enjoy this one...another iPhone 15 Pro Max Clone to add to the list!
Grab a drink and a snack and prepare to investigate this oddball thing!

Hi Smoorez your KZbin videos are good

[@ThatMalaysianDude]

I love your videos Smoorez!!!!

[@gamer101stopmotion]

If it has reset switch you know it's there cause it's slow and you'll need it

[@gamer101stopmotion]

Also tiktok is brain rot

[@channelname9843]

Great video! Definitely one of the most interesting Welcome phones.

[@RealEpikCartfrenYT]

Yeah they absolutely repurposed smartwatch hardware to run that secondary screen. I did a quick google search and the XC2806 chip on that daughterboard is indeed a low power microcontroller combining a Cortex m3 core, cryptography engine, inbuilt power management, with GPIO, UART, I²C, SPI and Bluetooth LE 5.0 connectivity, and it also has a 6 channel 10-bit ADC, and even a touch interface. That Puya chip is probably local RAM to store graphics information and its most likely communicating via serial to the MT6580 (hence the serial port app). Too bad they put an MT6580 as the main CPU because this phone would have massive potential had they only put in something a little better.

[@tigersusyt]

Hi Cartfren! Damm, i shouldn't had looked at comments before watching because now the soc is spoiled to me... Anyways have a good day

[@Kyermike]

So, it CAN run steamOS?

[@AzureRT456]

​@@tigersusyttbf MT6580 is not surprising.

[@exooooo9122]

other chip is puya P25Q64SH there is datasheet on it ( as you say its some sort of ram / storage chip - SPI NOR FLASH 64Mbit, 8MB Memory. ) its sop - 8 and i guess it can be read/write with CH341A also i can't find from XC2806 datasheet where is touch clock , reset .. only i can seen touch_In fuction

[@techcube7291]

I also noticed the time on the secondary screen does not match with the time on the phone (11:52) which made me realize that the phone has a whole smartwatch screen and motherboard that counts the time at its own

[@user-dingus-dingus]

I did NOT expect it to be real. That is something even I wasn't expecting. What's next, a true foldable welcome?

[@user-fe7bo5mm1o]

would be funny if they made a samsung fold WELCOME and it would be like a Microsoft duo lmao

[@eshkere_eshkere69]

"WELCOME" phones have reached a new level

[@techcube7291]

I noticed that the time on the secondary screen does not match with the time on the phone (11:52/12:00) which made me realize: This is not just a secondary sceen... THE PHONE HAS AN ENTIRE SMARTWATCH ON THE BACK

[@MaiNguyen-m7k]

yes [ I think it is a real iWatch behind]

[@RandomStuff15agerTEMP]

did you mean a real Apple Watch or by saying "iWatch" you meant something like a real generic smartwatch in the back, because if they included an apple watch, the phone would be very very expensive, and that WELCOME manufacturer would never even afford one

[@Cart1416]

they put an android 10 easter egg on android 8 and made it say android 13 when you turn it into a Q then it shows the android 8 easter egg

[@JamesR624]

Okay, this is the firste Welcome device I've ever seen that's GENUINELY impressive that you CAN'T easily get from regular OEMS. Yes, Unihertz makes a "circular back screen" phone but IMO, this one actually looks better placement wise.

[@pwdh]

30:13 I'm impressed with the 10-point multitouch support because iPhone only have 5-point multitouch 😂

[@Natsukashii1111]

To be fair I use a Samsung phone that also have 10points whatever but I don't really have a use for it.. Oh well I only see one use, you can put your palm on the screen as a shortcut or slide your hand on the screen for another shortcut, it may use that 10point touch to detect it's your whole palm on the screen?

[@setoth1234]

iPhone does indeed have ten-point multi-touch as Braille requires six to eight fingers to represent all dots of the cell.

[@Jimiscool88]

there was a tablet once from a weird brand that had 20 point multitouch! i have no idea how they did it with a cheap tablet that cost 300€

[@pwdh]

@@Jimiscool88 20 point? that's crazy! people might think "why would someone need so much multitouch?", for me, it's really important for responsiveness especially when i'm playing games

[@coolguyenglish4484]

iOS multitouch has tracked track 11 independent touch positions in the SDK (iOS 7). It’s definitely not 5

[@truckingandtraveling]

That night time video looked like a scene from the movie Sinister. I was expecting to see the lawnmower scene. 😬😖😂😂😂

[@Odkurzacz69]

Thank you so much for adding PLN! Love from Poland!

[@donotatme]

I wonder if they still actually produce the MT6580 or if there is just a warehouse in China full of them, considering it is getting close to being a decade old. Maybe they're even reclaimed from e-waste.

[@doloresdebeauvoir4960]

Probably from e-waste. I've worked on mobile game technical support back in China in 2015 and so many of those phones that have issue with our games use MediaTek chips... They sold a bunch of them during those years

Not sure if it's been said but apparently the red packet stuff is a wechat thing. Where you can send money as a red packet and first person to respond gets the money first.

[@FiatUno2003]

I don't know what the use of a secondary screen like this would be but it's actually cool. Too bad the processor is a MT6580. This phone would've been so much cooler if it was a little more expensive and had a decent processor.

[@der_kluger_gunther8391]

i love how they put so much effort to get that secondary screen, the look of an iphone and then... yeah slap that immortal 6580 on it it'll be fine. ah welcome, you have the best love story ever with this cpu lol. i was as excited as you when i saw the thumbnail lol.

[@nikolavukcevic8066]

I have an idea. When telstra shuts down the 3g network, call a 3g welcome phone with 3g and play some music,idk and wait till it shuts down and see what happens! XD

[@thehylian6984]

I love how the back screen is just a smartwatch just thrown in there and most famous products STILL doesn't have a back screen!

[@Muffincakeswithsugar]

Initially when the Camera test started I saw that it looked pretty much on par with a Samsung Galaxy S2, same 8MP on both phones too, however the S2 is actually more advanced and powerful in the camera department because it can shoot full HD video - This device can't.

[@Creedoo]

i love your hype when you saw the secondary screen working lmao, in the most no-offence way possible seeing an adult being so excited about a slapped on a $10 phone smartwatch screen is funny 😂

[@engchoontan8483]

seems like the OEM/ODM have standardized on these specs and android 8 for many models. which can mean = customisable OS and settings for many devices (TV box to phones to tablets to "note-books"). there is a chance the telco-country-region detection may play a part in unlocking some capabilities. for those who like antagonise standards-organisations.

[@Nahan_Boker94]

I think with proper budget welcome can create pretty good looking midrange phones by this point. They try to play around with the design and like this one sometimes they nailed it.

[@stevenspencer5367]

I am in awe and stunned at rhe same time. Cracking looking phone. And it did. But the phone otherwise did look really nice. The camera bump stuck over the secondary screen was brilliant and did look jenky at all. Your reaction to the secondary screen working was a joy to behold. The excitement was palpable. The camera test was somewhat disappointing. The images looked washed out. I totally agree other Welcome phones have had better photos than this phone. But saying that some pictures didnt look all that bad. Maybe a software issue though . Not too sure though. Video wasnt totally a let down, or was that because it had the Devine Miss Ripley looking fabulous and totally distracting attention from the phone. Radio seemed ok. The spund test was possibly one of the worst we've ever heard. The distortion was appalling. Even lower the volume didnt help. The rear screen was a lovely feature to look at. Its a shame it didn't have touch capabilities. But cool to have a feature. Im getting used to the game reviews. Some games do look fun. Who knows one day ill have a go. I did play Tetris on a friend's handheld thing. Thankfully it was only shapes. Games with lots of colours , like Candy Crush, are not great for red/green colourblind me. Not sure if dyslexia also causes problems as colours often look like they are floating like liqiuds over each other. I used to watch Snooker in black and white. It was easier to differentiate the balls in grey scale. Sorry went for a ramble lol Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Will have to have another watch to catch the bits that i missed chortling to mysrlf. 😂
