​@johnzoid74 can you ask if they can send me a phone too 🥺❤ My phone's vibration chip just died after 4 years and I need it to accept calls and wake up (alarm). I don't have the ringer on because of my job and I don't have vibration on for anything other than calls and alarm. Now I am in need of a new phone and am looking at "dumb" or otherwise smaller models like this. I have to save up but it's going to be a rough couple of weeks for me. Anyway, thanks for the video and your sense of humor and editing :) I know which phone I'm looking at seriously now

[@DoReid0]

Using a Pixel 6. I like the big, screen but maybe that's the point. I got absorbed for far too long in TikTok and KZbin, and I'm sure I'm not alone. I'm seeing some insane features packed into this phone for such a small price. Might just have to pick one of these up, might end up replacing the Pixel 🤔

[@AirForcePararescuer]

Ordered mine up for a phone detox. Going to see how a week goes.

[@lazyreuvin]

I had an old Elephone back in the day which was even smaller than this Unihertz phone ( it was a second phone for work). Unfortunately after using it for a couple of weeks, massive drawbacks (unavoidable due to the size) such as a sub par Android UI which was modified for a small screen, sluggish performance, and the terrible typing experience swayed me away from picking up another SFF phone. That being said, I loved picking up calls on it and looking at messages and seeing everyone around me gasp at the size of it 😅

[@Bendilin]

It's so thick I am surprised that it doesn't have a keyboard or number pad that slides out of it.

[@lephtovermeet]

@@coolguy0632 your mom's DMs obviously. But in all seriousness - this video literally just showed it's a decent little game machine. Good luck playing those games on a crowded 4g network. Do you take pics or videos either for work or personal and share them regularly? 5G = better. Also just because this thing has a tiny screen doesn't mean I won't want to cast something in 4k. And the truth is if you live in a dense urban environment, you're often swapping back and forth between 4 and 5g for whichever network has the best bandwidth right now.

[@underwaterdog4771]

Does the dolphin GameCube emulator not come with setting to remap your touchscreen to have the buttons where you would like? I would imagine it would be under gamepad settings if you have it, you'd just have to toggle from the touchscreen to the controller (some emulators require the controller to be connected to the phone directly via wire)

[@simonevela]

Hi! Is it possible to listen to FM radio with Bluetooth? Thanks

[@WittyDroog]

This is very similar to the Palm phone Verizon came out with, though that phone's downfall was that because it was very thin it had a piddly battery on par with a smartwatch so it would only manage a couple hours of heavy use. They marketed it as a "companion" device but that never caught on. There was a larger battery case for it that made it about as thick as this so maybe they should have done this in the first place

This is the phone that sits in my pocket, and it sits well. Music sounds fine, when I need to use it for a GPS, it works fine for that. I can still text, read e-mails, youtube.

[@kimjongoof5000]

Does it have gps? I wanna see if I can use this as a google maps smartphone replacement and wear it as a watch. Smartwatches have the problem of being a phone next to it to work. If Google maps works in it, they would be great

[@MathieuTechMoto]

[@thefoxhouse]

Unihertz certainly makes some interesting phones. I purchased an Atom, their rugged phone a few years back. Cool phone, but rugged it was not. The rubber casing started falling apart within the first 3 months. The phone didn’t last 6. I think as a backup phone it would be fine, but not as a daily driver. My iphone can take more abuse.

hey Daud, do it! I used an S20FE to record for a full year until recently switching to an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I edit FULLY on InShot… and I use a mic from Best Buy. I also use one light box, but it’s an ultra budget setup and I will always do my best to keep it like this. I just recently started using the mic , befit then I was just recording in a coat closet and it was affecting the videos negatively. It came off as lazy and sometimes audio would only sound in one speaker. Overall I wouldn’t recommend buying expensive gear. Use what you have and focus on your style and scripts. You can do it 😊

Another edit: I am fully capable of editing on Davinci Resolve. I HATE editing on a PC as it has affected my Workflow and I have dealt with projects crashing. I even upgraded PC setup and still had the issue My next upgrade will be to an iPad Pro, 1 or 2 TB.
