If you want Ken to be able to sleep at night, watch this video on the nicest screen you can get your hands on.

[@cjmaksy]

nah

[@_1ghenkyy298]

Austin Evans i want 10 Don't mind the pun

[@cjmaksy]

biggest fan

[@dbmontefalcon]

Iphone 5c screen?

[@AmazingGamer-us5ng]

how you doing austin

[@Accuaro]

*fuck why is this video in particular so high quality lol, its like you decided to try all of a sudden*

[@RightAngleProductions]

apple fan? idk :P

[@sapilta1566]

NeoBlue is when it’s highest quality you can see the difference between the 2 phone displays.

[@estebangonzalez7197]

NeoBlue whats wrong with that

[@TalkToMeQA78]

Sapilta A 1.000$ price tag can't justify a phone that will suffer from 2 problems. 1st In 2 years the phone will become obsolete and slow down. 2nd A new phone willcome out to replace this one ,most people who are apple customers consider themselves trendy and all that it intels.😏 Most people who have Flagship phones don't buy them outright, instead there chained to a contract hahaha. Next time you see somebody with an Apple iPhone ask them how's that ball and chain treating you?

[@buttonstack]

Someone needs to give Austin Evans a bukakke.

[@niranjanc5108]

Apple removed headphone jack and home button. Austin removed "Hey guys, This is Austin"... Show some real COURAGE

[@egggaming2394]

Niranjan C yep I agree

[@mysticbazuso36]

Where's my Austin dongle?

[@daddyscrapes]

haha change is good

[@t.h.d5151]

Niranjan C 😂

[@FisayoFosudo]

Loved the cinematography of this!

[@sandi260]

Stop washing down the word cinematography. We should exclude shitty product pans automatically from such a classification.

[@RomantikongGinoo]

ipoone sucks you need to swipe up to unlock, face id sometimes doesnt work you need to tilt or something. its not a utility phone or everyday phone thats for sure, have 1, wish never bought it

[@rhlrprsd]

Hey the guy that looks like John Boyega

[@eastlondonhustler]

@Fisayo Fosudo You can thank Apple for it after all, they paid for it.

[@inventoryfullstudios9112]

P it might have some problems, but most are solved in 8

[@DNRKlypz]

This was the first video that I've watched in 4K on my new TV. It was worth it. Excellently done, guys.

[@hydrolics5449]

YO THIS HAS TO BE THE BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY AUSTIN HAS EVER DONE

[@Rayanmoideenkutty]

😅

[@shanevanpelt7802]

More videos need to be in HDR it looks amazing

[@SpektrikMusic]

[@fishysquidman5689]

Spektrik No shit sherlock

[@juantapia2061]

Johnny Daily There are phones like the Note 8 that has a better screen that the iPhone X or others that cost very low

[@tinvranjes4319]

[@spreadcomunism8893]

Yeah that’s my boiii

[@lilernecgs7946]

[@Bactino]

[@Eggie410]

Im watching at 360p and its good as 720p but the problem is the small objects i can't see it clearly

[@lilernecgs7946]

i want to thank all of you for 184 likes. its a new achievement for me, which I will appriciate for the rest of my life.

[@Capnlosdos]

I’m on 1440p on LTE 😶

[@Byfils]

I still return to this video whenever I get a new screen. Amazing job Austin & team.

[@kiyonic]

this is one of the most comprehensive reviews you've ever done. everything flows so nicely!

[@arnavnagpal938]

Ken deserves a raise. Also, make more of these videos

[@mattbuffo9967]

of course make the asian do all the work

[@bhavyatalwar]

When I was expecting Hey Guys this is Austin, this guy said the iPhone X is the most expensive iPhone ever.....😑

[@mysterOrel7924]

Bhavya Talwar lmao

[@Gony98]

Bhavya Talwar that's a very big flaw of this video

[@guledm12]

Its all good, why does “hey guys its austin” even exist in 2017?

[@balderoine]

Lmfaoo

[@vince1000]

im glad he didnt say it tbh

[@atlantis5574]

Noticed that you guys shot this in Anamorphic! Awesome work, evans and the team.

[@iielysiumx5811]

watched this in 4k HDR and i have to say it is probably one of the best looking videos on youtube even in 2019. cannot wait until more people start posting thier content in HDR

[@DRMCC0Y]

Excuse me Ken.. Why ain't this is 8K?

[@Rampage1Rules]

Dylan M you got a 8k tv ? Didn't think so

[@like.clarkwork]

Dylan M you need the Pimax VR headset for 8K

[@DRMCC0Y]

Clarence Royandoyan which isnt even 8K, its only 2x4K.

[@seanjohnston1076]

KZbin doesn't even allow videos to be uploaded in 8k lmaoo

[@bjently]

Sean Johnston idiot. Look up Unigine Superposition. It's in 8K by unigine

[@samnovotny707]

I love watching this on my original iPad at 144p mmm, quality.

[@Abnarly]

ChuckTheDuck98 I watched on iPad 3 1080

[@bionicubiytsaofficial3732]

Watching on iPad 2017 1444p

[@xdynamics2561]

watching on ipad pro 12.9 inch 4k

[@LukePimentel]

Abner Chilson currently on iPad 5 1440 p

[@Abnarly]

Luke Pimentel I see no reason to upgrade from my 3 lol, sure it doesn't get the newest software updates but that means it's smoother and I don't have to relearn IOS all over again, and the screen is good and the camera is better than what I give it credit for

[@ddspk2007]

some people say their brightness gets cranked up automatically when watching this video in hdr, my note 8 brightness doesnt change when watching hdr videos on yt,netflix etc. is this normal? does the s8 series not change automatically? or am i not getting the hdr signal do i have to change some setting?

[@abomiyeti7440]

Really glad to see Austin's old format in this video.

[@jamalsikder1451]

I clicked on his video to hear "hey guys this is Austin" and he didn't say that disappointed

[@littlelamp100]

**unoriginal joke about Austin Evans being worth it in 2017**

[@sandroboi263]

Comedy

[@frosty1865]

DAMMMMM AUSTIN BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THE CINEMATIC SHOTS

[@johnyvds2331]

digging the new cinematic look :) GREAT JOB ken

[@AnandRao19]

Is Austin cinema ratio worth it?

[@theoriginalbolt]

hey plzzzzz watch my videos

[@sandroboi263]

No

[@ps3guy22]

in 2017?

[@pollsmor]

it looks really good on a phone with reduced bezel like my S8.

[@GamingByOne]

It is for me, no black borders on my ultrawide monitor! Immersive like when watching movies.. obv

[@VetriSengodu]

Man...for a moment I thought this was a movie!! 👍👍 great cinematic edit 🔥

[@silasmayes7954]

This video is actually the first HDR content I've ever seen on lg v30 and I'm throughly impressed with it!

[@iibrahxm]

Your reviews are truly informative and equally interesting to watch. keep up the good work man

[@destroassasin9505]

When Austin upload a video in 4K HDR, but you are poor and you only can watch it 144p

[@abdelpayen4885]

Destro Assasin not my case XD

[@MuhdAkmalyoyoman90]

360p FTW

[@KDCloudy]

I just want to appreciate all the effort Austin and Ken have put in into making this entire video. Stunning, refreshing visuals, awesome colors and everything just looks better in HDR on my Pixel. Awesome job guys, great review as well!!

[@24hrformat19]

KDCloudy its not hdr on pixel though

[@KDCloudy]

Alex Lagoudakis It is. It says 720HDR and the brightness automatically gets cranked all the way up. Google rolled out support for it entirely by software using a custom decoder stack.

[@24hrformat19]

KDCloudy ok didnt know

[@AndreVictorGoncalves]

Too bad the iPhone X doesn't have HDR. Biggest irony ever.

[@rtx_____]

André Victor Goncalves iPhone X has HDR

[@BetterLifeReviews]

Wow! That's the most graphically pleasing review I have ever seen. Is that your house??? Amazing!

[@pleasestopreadingthisnames4874]

Are the black bars for cinematic effect or to be viewed on the iPhone X with the pinch to fill?

[@Zeales]

$1000? Cute, in all the Scandinavian countries the phone STARTS at $1600.

[@kalp0rter]

RealMcForesT Travel to NY and buy it there! It’ll be cheaper (or even cost the same, including the trip) but you would’ve travelled.

[@forzatech9482]

I will sell you mine for $1500

[@Kevoin_]

Yeeaah sooo true, the iPhone 7 Still costs around 1000$ here

[@EgeAZCA]

How cute... its 2200€ in my. country

[@bruh-dj5uo]

Bitch, it's $1730 here in Chile.

[@Michael_Billig]

The cinematography is really impressive. Good job Austin!

[@wilgenz2938]

Ken* since Ken is the cameraman i feel like he deserves his credit

[@tomasrebelatto8983]

Yea ken = goat

[@pilotss.2823]

Michael Billig Good job Ken dude

[@AnishJohnThomas]

I saw few videos of Unbox Therapy and when I saw the video in which everyone supported during ur hardest time, I subscribed to his channel. After commenting on his video, I came to know that it happened in 2014..! Searched for your name in KZbin and found this video. Watched it on my X and I was impressed..! So... I've subscribed to ur channel too. Keep making great reviews..!

[@user-uw9vc5bh6c]

Can I use 8gb 1600 MHz and 4gb 1333mhz ram on GA-H61M-S please tell or should I buy a new graphic card for more performance

[@patronusstag]

The aesthetics in this video! 🔥🔥🔥

[@issahb1999]

Agreed! Love your profile pic :)

[@harshits1368]

Wow! Great camera work!

[@namankumar5442]

Gold period of Austin’s channel

[@jayps421]

WHAT A VIDEO!! Best review yet and I'm not even an apple fan. The ultra wide looked crispy on my Note 8.

[@Archetapp]

Beautiful video! Ken, sleep well tonight, you hit this out of the park!

[@TheKickvirus]

Never seen such quality in a vid.

[@pluto.532]

F3SK im seeing a man shooting him self.lemme guess its the protagonist from persona 3

[@AmolBelgaonkar]

because most cant afford and 50,000$ camera

[@RobertHosein]

Amazing video!Keep up the amazing work!I had already subscribed!I really like your reviews.Please do more.

[@Edgarmartinez001]

I have something to ask my iPhone 7plus use to play at 1440p on this video like a year ago and I watched the video again and I can only watch on 1080p why

[@grten3700]

Sooo cinematic!!!!!!

[@henryhr7730]

Grten3 tru

[@Lagggerengineering]

Cuz dem 30FPS? XD But yeah, I love it!

[@mach4316]

It not a video it is a movie for iphone x

[@Danker19991]

This video is my go to HDR test on every iPhone I’ve had since the X

[@FortniteNonStop]

Best quality tech video of the year!! Present you 3 trophies and 2 medels...🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇

[@dantoxism8538]

*Does Ken have a Waifu Wednesdays T-shirt?*

[@abdulmuhaimin5274]

No is Ultimate Waifu, man

[@matthewledford7209]

Umm no Austin, you do not need to look at your phone to unlock it, there is a setting to disable it, they thought about that bro, tho it’s probably gonna be that much less secure

[@shlokmane4661]

Hey @austinevans can you please share the link of this video on google drive because my tv supports 4k hdr but the software does not so please can you do it so that ken can sleep at night

[@ramonbaglari9714]

Oh boii.... Austin great work with the whole videography !! Really enjoyed it in all spectrum

[@alexxander3436]

Damn this video is Crispy!

[@YoussefAlmakdissi]

A 4K video. Meanwhile, i can only watch it in 1440p

[@MrDetox2u]

YOYO MAK damn, I can only watch at 360p because of my terrible internet

[@YoussefAlmakdissi]

DetoxTriple unlucky

[@darkkforest]

DetoxTriple u lucky.. im on 144p

[@theoverlord7156]

So sad..The rest of us are on 144p. Be content with what you have..

[@barbar9297]

rip 1080p no hdr

[@GAZMAN2002]

I like that you. Didn't say hey guys this is Austin at the start its a nice change

[@allurisaikrishna4926]

This is awesome. I almost felt like I was watching a movie. Great video quality

[@cjcog37]

Damn the cinematography tho 😍

[@cjcog37]

I think you are referring to the word ‘repetition’ check the definition of ‘cinematography’, it’s a different word buddy.

[@waffleii6841]

No “Hey Guys This Is Austin”?! Is this the real Austin Evans???

[@krank3869]

It's a fake clone made by apple to promote their products

[@wilsonfribourg]

GREAT JOB TO BOTH AUSTIN & KEN FOR THE DOPE CINEMATOGRAPHY OF THIS VIDEO!

[@KJAYG]

I came back to watch this on my iPhone X when KZbin launched compatibility for HDR on the iPhone!

[@varun9645]

What happened to"hey guys, this is Austin"??? I watch your videos for that man..

[@chia-haochou8102]

Why am I even watching when I can't afford it....

[@xinhui071869]

CHIA-HAO CHOU Because it is just interesting. I already got the X but I just like to see online reviews and iPhone advertisements. It is just interesting

[@ProjectMustang95]

Same here

[@BenAsselmeierReal]

I've gotta say, for the first few minutes of the video it seemed like you were making an effort to speak a bit more slowly and carefully, and it sounded awesome. Toward the end your words sped back up a bit, but it still seemed like you were making an effort to take care with your pronunciation. I think it sounds great and hope you continue to do that. Also bowing down to Ken cause this looked DAMN good

[@chrisr5437]

Awesome video Austin! Please continue to make great widescreen content and HDR is a plus! Lol

[@CypherJj4457]

Shoot the next video in IMAX

[@onkar5296]

Justin Scott let's buy 1 for 400,000$

[@abdulmuhaimin5274]

OR a million bucks

[@ongzenshawn]

Damn my dear friend you have made my day 😂

[@yousuf125]

oh dude! where did you even film this video ? I think this is the best reviewing video that you have ever done specially considering the cool place that you have chosen to shot this video ! I just have been blown up ! CHEER UP !!!

[@trevorlangdon]

Looks like Malibu CA. I wonder how. edit Based on Ken's insta its Capistrano Beach, CA.

[@corpuscallosum9355]

Just WOW. Please make more videos with this level of cinematography.

[@tambovskya]

Dude, you are a legend for making such a quality video.

[@dgmlmao]

Windows 9 Where Are You. IPhone 9 Where Are You. WHERE ARE THE 9's

[@twitterbrb917]

7 ate 9 lololololololololo

[@doggydude98]

DGM-CLIP sS big smoke had the two number 9s

[@cocutou]

It was Apples 10 year anniversary, so they skipped the 9.

[@gerbilpmc]

You were Wondering yes finally something with the number nine in it!

[@shenbenson]

Feel sad for 16:9 phones like mine

[@bartinater4624]

I feel bad for app developers, they’ve got so much work todo...

[@salvatorefarieri9242]

What do you use to keep the phones standing up like that?

[@benc3638]

what are those games that you were playing on the phone, just wondering

[@yellowbat79]

I hope you and ken the best on your honeymoon

[@sahilraniga817]

yellow bat lmaoo is he gay?!

[@JuriSins]

Wait what.

[@mrmangbro6842]

I looked it up yea he is gay

[@osamarattu]

so he’s gay?

[@mrmangbro6842]

As far as what i found he is yes

[@LuneTech]

Thank you so much for shooting in HDR. I've been asking for tech reviewers to do this for such a long time 🙏

[@johnnylohe9429]

Thanks for having the video in wide screen to look great on my X

[@maxcardenas8257]

Watching this on my Sony xz premium (which has 4k HDR display) can only playback at 1080p and the video keeps flashing

[@JAcevedo2580]

Little side note. Stranger Things is a freaking amazing TV show, and anyone who hasn't watched it do it now.

[@stewieboo]

loving the new cinematic view

[@faran1684]

Can you play KZbin and browse web at the same time? Thanks

[@XP9724]

Watching this in 18:9 and HDR 1080p on my LG G6. The screen on this phone is amazing, I wish Austin filmed more videos with this quality

[@technogj]

Cool new style !!!

[@lokchiu]

That dynamic range tho......I mean the red cameras, not the iPhone 😏

[@excessro]

Why isnt the 1440p hdr option available on s8 plus even though i set the screen resolution to 1440p?

[@kingxrobby]

Wasn't sure if I was watching a review or a movie. Great job!!

[@isaacbeitzel2586]

Haven't watched it yet, I'm going to guess he'll say it depends Edit: Shoot I was wrong...it's worth it...going to sell my kidney, be right back

[@migvelv]

Isaac Beitzel Lucky you. In the EU the cheapest version of the x costs the equivalent to $1350

[@XBossesx]

The Original Martian yea eu is ripping you guys off

[@Samuel-vq4ii]

ItzBetterOff that’s why we’re leaving that group of elitist bastards. iPhone X in UK is equivalent of about $1500 for 256GB and it’s not Apple’s fault, it is the fault of the EU. I am so happy we shall be leaving them, it’s the best thing we’ll ever do.

[@batprime9560]

Isaac Beitzel people are stupid for 1300 plus you buy dslr camera with higher megapixel than iPhone x

[@voteDC]

It's worth it because he didn't have to pay for the iPhone X. I'd honestly be interested in his opinion of the phone more if he hadn't gotten it for free.

[@annachi979]

Super camera angles

[@theoriginalbolt]

hey plzzzzz watch my videos

[@annachi979]

UrAvgGamer I saw ur videos it was cool keep rocking

[@chrisperrywv]

Man- absolutely awesome set. Nice work

[@mehow2059]

What does hdr mode do? I can view it in hdr on my pixel.

[@raynovember2458]

With that epic background you look like god or something xD

[@darshanvala9224]

How do you do color grade ? In which software

[@plaindepressed]

Wait what settings did y'all use for the filming?

[@55lumens]

Watching on the Galaxy S8 and that HDR is impressive.

[@mrwhotheheck5092]

Watching this on The Moto E 1st Gen 480p screen.... Thug Life (The Next Episode Playing....)

[@mrwhotheheck5092]

It's my Dad's.... Ya know...how dad's use their Mob's....

[@samshonka6834]

way to stick to the oldies

[@kalle8348]

Watching this on my 2ft thick CRT monitor :/

[@itsonlyaidananimations4778]

mrwhotheheck • I'm on a Moto E4 Plus

[@samshonka6834]

me too

[@dhobi1234]

Name of the song at the end of the video ?

[@Hanzo25]

First off all amazing video much better than the usual studio unboxing well done Evans, second why there is so much content on Apple Music and wallpaper and apps on Japanese, I like it and I much prefer it cause its something that we are not used to (plus I like anime 😂) but its a bit weird coming out of nowhere. Still loved the vid and.i would love to see more of them just like this one but next time be more careful with the zoom on your face m8 😂😂

[@josephryan090]

This video looks amazing.. great colors and cinematography. Keep it up!

[@KaeFwam]

The phone is awesome, but it is not worth $1,000. Just isn’t.

[@connordinnell1534]

Andro Style but apple perfected it. Just because a company did it first doesn’t mean they did it well

[@heyitsmejm4792]

yep... but it kinda is because of the camera, and the software is really smooth..

[@AlexMkd1984]

Connor Dinnell crappke cant afford to make iphone or another iShit foxcon make it

[@carbon7151]

It's a great phone and it might have been worth the $1000 if they included the fast charger tgthr with the phone. And that glass panel replacement charge is just too much. Otherwise it's one of the best.

[@jobythewitch5379]

Andro Style Face ID is completely different. Try using your galaxy’s iris scanner in the dark. Just doesn’t work. The only think that could fool I️t would be an identical twin, and even then, only 50% of identical twins can actually fool I️t.

[@liuziyu8487]

Ending music plz?

[@GambinoN64]

His videos just keep getting better

[@BryantWhite86]

Hey Austin why did you take away your old intro? Have you thought about going back to it?
