I might be wrong, but that white watch looks very similar to the DZ09 generic smart watches. Which are actually quite cool as $10 mp3 players for Bluetooth headphones 👍 The old Toughpad barcode things used to run WinCE lol 6200mah battery is 😮😮😮 ALL Japanese phones used to be SIM locked. I suspect your Balmuda might have a frequency problem. That Tinno phone is worth carrying a 4G router to make Wifi/Zello/zoom calls with 👍

[@BeEhUmBLe7945]

Bro, that's awesome. They got a lot of varieties of gadgets and stuff.

[@tajemniczepulchnecos2074]

Can't wait for part 2

[@cup-noodle-love]

Pause, you went to Japan and didn't get any flip phones?

[@edwardfletcher7790]

They're not common any more

[@Hadisabetghadam]

He Got But I Not Gonna Spoiles

[@Nokia305-x3u]

Bro’s expecting him to buy one prob.

[@FlamerGamer770]

Nobody used those anymore except old people

[@tajemniczepulchnecos2074]

Of course we find this video interesting. That's why we watch your channel ❤

[@joedarkness808]

That's shop is called "Shop inverse" where you got the laptops .. I buy desktops from there, it's popular with tourist who buy 10-15 laptops at a time to sell back home

[@kennys6097]

This is like a premium DankPods lucky dip. I watched and loved it all. Thanks smuz

[@gorgosanma]

I agree. Maybe DankPods videos are a little bit funnier, but for some reason Smoorez videos are more interesting, I end up watching the whole thing every time.

[@Liz0rdX80]

Dank always come with high level of humor, and Smuz mostly in depth

[@Rayn-femboy]

from germany (the country that started t-mobile and vodafone) Softbank was vodafone some 16-20 years ago so it makes sense that softbank phones work on vodafone

[@unabashedlyluckynerd7148]

I have a Japanese flip phone and it works with t mobile too!

[@HotRod-05]

An hour video from smuz, allready got my snacks ready. The Sony Xperia 1 burned in screen looks way worse than on my samsung s8, but hey i would use it as a daily driver.

[@andrasszabo7386]

The translator device probably needs a new battery. You can make one by getting a battery the same size and thickness, then desoldering the BMS board with the flex cable from the old battery, and soldering it onto the new cell. That is what I always do.

[@der_kluger_gunther8391]

oh gosh they are a lot of phones, pretty much what i would do if i had money lol (and action figures as well). i kinda like the sony and that iris sensor one along with the small rakuten (it's so cute UwU). can't wait for part 2, we are going to see some "welcome-wise" phones for sure XD

[@mokisan]

Loved this!

[@chookwangzhee1889]

Even if you're not returning to Japan, you can use reshipping services like zenmarket to import more japanese phones into Australia

[@CanizaM]

The flickering in your videos is because mains frequency in some areas in Japan can be different (60Hz) from Australia (50Hz); there's usually a setting in the camera to set the filter to 50 or 60Hz.

[@LazerSparkle]

Extremely cool devices, love the video!!

[@d.j.manjares9830]

Shizzzzz man, you hit me right in my heart! I love collecting Japanese phones as well!

[@stevenspencer5367]

Well what a total blast. I throughly enjoyed watching and hearing about your adventures. That projector was OK but what made it for me was the Devine Ms Ripley going for the snake. It never fails to surprise me when cats watch images either on screen or projected. She is just so cute. ❤ Sp cracking phones that would be awesome to do ondepth reviews on. For me it was the Rakuten phones. I only know Rakuten as a streaming app. So it would be awesome to look that these phone indepth. Looking forward to future parts lol 😂❤

[@Space_Reptile]

i love sony phones, been using em for years (personally the naming is fairly simple, 10 for budget, 5 is midrange and 1 is flagship)

[@devicemodder]

I was in japan in june, absolutely amazing

[@truckerzachbell]

Cool haul!

[@richardgagne8488]

As usual, funny comments and outstanding rare pièce of electronic stuff that are unknown in America or elsewhere in the world. Thanks to share you trip with us!

[@Tanzim-Kazi]

Nice video, Smoorez. Do you mind uploading the system files for the Fujitsu phones (preferably the newer ones)? I'm looking for the lock/unlock sound as well as the charging sounds.

[@bryanrobertson6844]

Can't wait to see part 2. Oh, wait...😅

[@AGNDoesTech]

The first phone with hrr was actually from Sharp, the Aquos Zeta SH-01H from 2015. Sharp supplied the panels used on the razer phone as well.

[@gwenlop9512]

5:55 The Let's Note series of laptops are mostly made of diecast magnesium, and the screen lid is "corrugated", to add more rigidity and strength to the screen.

[@AuntyM66]

I cannot wait

[@pistolpetereal]

Hard off theme song sounds like it could be in a pizza place commercial from the 80s

[@cliffordreynolds1835]

The Fujitsu Docomo reminded me of the LG Velvet which is that most beautiful phone I've ever owned.

[@zumuvtuber]

The Rakuten Mini is such a cool phone. Wish they'd make an updated version of it.

[@d.j.manjares9830]

I agree. Literally people swarm me whenever I whip out mine in gatherings

[@edwardfletcher7790]

There's a LiquorOff ??? I am THERE !!! 😮

[@d.j.manjares9830]

Rakuten Mini, I have that one as well I have actually two of these, both Blue. The one is in pristine condition, with tempered glass and case. Bought it for at least 20 bucks.

[@d.j.manjares9830]

Kyocera Basio 3! I love that baby

[@No_one15]

Broo i missed these

[@ser777XD]

Man those laptops I want one since I knew they existed, some day, some day.

[@humbertojunior2819]

That fujitsu with the cracked curved screen looks exactly like a LG Velvet

[@vaidkun]

Lived in Japan for ~10 years and for ~3 years worked at an office in Akihabara so some lunch breaks would just go out to browse the "junk" shops, yes in Japan "junk" is just untested/not warrantied and working things most of the time. bought some "junk" DIMMs for my laptop memory test passing no problems. lots of fun memories, haven't been in Akihabara recently but from what I've seen it changed quite a bit became more of tourist "trap" attractions, with weak Yen it's got quite expensive for people living and working in Japan but cheap for tourists.

[@ACS2]

48:44 i love when that happens. I can change battery without heat and few tools. Cheap and easy.

[@notloki3140]

Panasonic Toughbook CF-41 MK I, from 1995, this has a disk drive under the keyboard.

[@aneverydaygamer914]

I actually saw the phone shown at 43:08 in Japan back in 2022 at a Bic Camera. It claims to have a MediaTek MT6761, running Android 10 with a 3300mAh battery and a 1480x720 screen resolution. For some reason it was called 'Easy Smartphone 2'.

[@4bafiafzil999]

What a crap spec sheet for 2022

[@s8wc3]

9:56 Guy was just a huge sega fan

[@soniccdx]

having same lets note type laptop (model cf-LX3) ,(2 of it ,one with a dvd-rom which keeps restarting though), and the design is till the same , except for the touchpad which is the normal square type .battery and the screw locations are the same,theres a door for acessing the ram and some solder points for a nvme slot(which is not present) .. read somewhere that its due to the japanese liking stuff to be familiar or something , thats why the design does not change much ..makes for a great laptop to tinker with though

[@-validites-]

Shame that most of these phones wont work with major Aussie telcos

[@MeerooTopG]

Watching using a Xperia 5 ii with 2 green lines 😢

[@hakureicirno6059]

That ToughPhone even has a Windows Phone variation/model. Panasonic FZ-E1. Not sure if there are any bussiness or industrial applications on Windows Phone though.

[@floppa9415]

The Sharp Aquos R Compact looks like a Xiaomi Mi 5 and Meizu 16 had a baby.

[@Mamiya645]

If you dressed that projector up with some really deep absorbant black paint (or cloth), not on the mirror part, it would do an even better job. I gotta get one..

[@hyperturbotechnomike]

I'm in Europe and got a Panasonic Let's Note from Japan just because i like a good Laptop without an uncomfortably flat school calculator style keyboard.

[@Patrikch100]

Alumulumu frame on Fujitsu.

[@吉田駆-i9f]

Cam button's always been there on xperias

[@tubbalcain]

Well, there goes my training..

[@valdasnorvilas5565]

Part 2🎉🎉🎉

[@jpvblerk]

I also miss the front led notification indicator that phones use to have😢

[@TheRealPakLong]

I love your videos Smoorez!!!

[@AlpacaYouALunch]

3:46 PROJECT SEKAI CAMEOOOOOOOO

[@The_Tech_Kid]

Ima need to do a PART TWO AND POSSIBLY A PART 3 LETS GO

[@LilCurlyBlonde]

Part II when Smoorez?

[@burnutec3]

Did you ever see a mi6x or a mi a2 , they had fully white front while having blue metal back. Get one if those, if you want to talk bezel, i own both of them.

[@tenork2360]

I have seen people change the OS of phones like the Sony ones to Samsung OS so they can run samsung dex to make them a gaming pc (connect them to a usb hub with hdmi) I think thats cool, what do you think?

[@JesusAramil]

FYI : Some Japanese Phones might work in your area but limited, because Softbank AU and DoCoMo carrier branded have a full functionality like 5G and VoLTE. Unless if you have access to a Qualcomm diagnostic port, you can get away with it by removing the carrier restrictions. Also I have access to the AU device unlock, hmu.

[@Chop43]

Please review the Panasonic FZ-N1

[@3kyu]

I went to iosys store in Akihabara just last week

[@lordlopes2424]

You went to Japan and didn't got the Fujitsu model that has the Snapdragon 865 and one of the 1 inch camera phones from Sharp😐

[@hadivong]

What is the unlock code for actually? Is it for unlock the restricted network?

[@GoAnimateciMelih]

Nice👍

[@EliteLucarioRS]

review the TAITO coin!

[@gorgosanma]

Maybe if you started a gofundme to go to some place just to go smartphone shopping you could end up in a hospital or maybe an asylum lmao. Loved the video, keep doing what we all love to see or do.

[@Hadisabetghadam]

28:42 Basiclly Is Palm(Android)Phone In Japan Even Launcher Likes Palm(Android)Phone

[@ungeskriptet]

14:43 What SoC does this device have?

[@namesurname4666]

Did they really make all these phones useless in Australia? In Italy we still have 2g but the coverage in general (2g to 5g) it's not great in some areas

[@rofldaniel]

Woohoo! In for the long haul!

[@DeclanTech23]

The front of the Bell nudo phone looks like a knock-off S10

[@_..-.._..-.._]

They swapped your Sony out when they bagged it

[@SolidCoreBlack]

Wow😱

[@lschmitt]

❤❤❤

[@ashens2]

I'm disappointed 😢

[@jakubr2769]

5:45, this laptop weights about as much as 4 phones

[@rzzcp]

can't wait to go there again, we got a laptop for a pretty cheap price.

[@seanet1310]

Bring back the camera button. Main reason I am rocking a daily driver Sony Xperia 1 V from 2023 in Australia. I wonder how long Vodafone will last as the only telco for many imports working. Technically under the rules, of you can't emergency call on Vodafone, Optus and Telstra, everyone should be IMEI blocking the phone.

[@sihasperera8163]

I am rocking the Xperia 1 😁

[@z_o_di_a_c_]

I've told u the balmuda is smaller

[@UsrRshTov]

1:04:02 i died

[@the_holy_forestfairy]

I love your Videos, but I have one small Point of Criticism: The Camera-Position/-Zoom. It's just too close to the Object... For Small-Objects OK, but for big ones - meh...

[@Nxutrilist_OFFICIAL]

Me like smuz becuz smuz is so good this so much good (this isn't my actual grammar just being kinda dumb and funny)

[@PancakeSparkle]

hey, smuz! :3

[@rofldaniel]

Hewwo pwancake owo

[@So1]

Hewo twilight oco

[@giuseppegamer4090]

No way bro just bought an U8 smartwatch lmao,I have 2 of them but one has a swollen battery Edit:the working one has a rare firmware tho Edit 2:The white one on 15:55 (aka the one I have but black) runs on Mediatek and the name of the smartwatch Is U8 Smartwatch

[@SPARTAN_Cayde-26]

Damn the mobile network things outside europe and especially Finland, are so janky and stupid. Here in Finland aka the country that invented GSM we still have 2G for older devices that doesn't support VoLTE and also because 2G is the only network that works anywhere in Finland. I don't get the network nonsense in AU... Nor in USA.

[@manrs6037]

Watch it with My sony xperia 10 iii right now...Buy it from japan, Junk gred A

[@吉田駆-i9f]

TechImma1st Don't take my comments seriously. It's only a meme

[@Liz0rdX80]

Talking about Japanese phones, they totallly has different aura than most common phones I used. Maybe some day gonna find some cheap ex-Japan phone for third backup fone

[@Velylok313]

Wasting of time

Are the Anime shops called “Jack Off”?
