[@somedudexdlol]

The stream was nice thanks for trying to sing the rick ashley song you did you're best! I did the request

[@nowaymuller6643]

Sadly the dont seem to send to Europe or the Link got bad or so.

[@UserT5959]

Im actually playing on a phone like that, but that phones beauty

[@UserT5959]

[@UserT5959]

Pro cam x app 'might' help you individually selecting camera Doesn't work on all

[@syahirnizal6284]

I don't know why, but I love your 1 hour review 😂

[@DoubtingThomas333]

It's bad-ass. I love this guy. A true techy at heart.

[@kbhasi]

I somehow was under the impression that the phone they made was a commercial failure and the company that made the phone went out of business, then some AliExpress seller bought the remaining stock. (28:10) Yep, that seems to confirm to me that the company went out of business.

[@k.m4061]

absolutely underrated channel, I love how you review and disassemble phones nobody has ever talked about

[@DonaldHendleyBklynvexRecords]

We need more phones like this , make the market interesting again like when Android 1st came out

[@FiatUno2003]

38:50 I love how beauty mode makes you look like one of those Disney Princess filters that you find on tiktok or Instagram

[@StompySan]

Not gonna lie, those night selfies with beauty mode were nightmare fuel.

[@AtomSquirrel]

I love stock Android. Have loved it since my modded LG G2. I was running Cyanogenmod Android 5/6. People think the pixel is the most stock you can get, but there’s a more stock version than what they offer. I love the AOSP. The keyboard layout, the default apps, the ringtones, and just the feel of the UI without a lot of Googles bloat or spyware. Granted it is all still there with Google Services, but you can control all of the permissions. It’s just getting so hard to root a phone

[@luigimaster111]

Base android as an OS is great ui wise, under the hood though... I think it needs better memory management. It really gets bogged down with multitasking on low ram devices

[@darling_yext]

This is definitely the most interesting and coolest phone I've seen so far, thanks for showing it to us!

[@emilianotechs]

I'm always looking for super long technology videos to watch while I'm at work and this really fit the bill! Thanks for the great video

[@der_kluger_gunther8391]

i though it was a way worse phone (like all the welcome bootlegs) but it had a decent display and some good performance, so for the price i would get it. the camera is good too btw and your impressions were so awesome i loved all of them. 7/10 this time!

[@Boogie_the_cat]

19:03 who else spotted the 666 kb data usage? I don't think it would be easy to do on purpose due to the erratic nature of Android data usage. So I must conclude that it is a result of the universe smiling upon Smoorez and Ripley's magical adventures through space, time, and AliExpress. Ride on, space cowboy!

[@velvetcrowes3097]

I just wanna your videos help me a lot with my anxiety!! I've always loved interesting and bootleg phones. So, thank you.

[@johnsimun6533]

52:19 I think we have found an additional channel for this guy here. Imagine walking in on someone who is watching, and hearing multiple people, then it turns out that it’s this guy. He could do interviews with himself, and if he decides to switch scenes, he could do it randomly. Imagine the announcer interviewing a chipmunk, or the Indian support, helping a chipmunk. I would listen to him doing a video with singing, from his bathroom, like he is a guy showing how he is a rapper, but not only singing, but talking. He could also do interviews from his bathroom, maybe church, from his bathroom. Who knows, but most definitely, by far, let him loose to do anything that pops in his head. The only filler is his editing afterwards. If you walked in on someone thinking they were playing a game, watching someone playing a game, hearing someone having a interview from their bathroom, or anything like that. Then walking and seeing this guy just sitting there and not being in his bathroom.

[@PhilXavierSierraJones]

About the confusing dongle, it seems like the "musical note" port is actually a combined INPUT, not an output. The "headphone" jack would talk with your phone to set the volume for mixing the sounds.

[@notv3253]

I love how you are one of the only youtubers that allows us to use adblockers, tbh premium is good

[@barneyDcaller]

Your Livestream test is the cream of the crop of this video. Chef's kiss

[@rofldaniel]

YEA BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[@dusannd3585]

For that price is better than 90% of phones in that price range

[@bedrockbetter386]

😂😂👌

[@gellasteez]

Totally true. i was expecting some bootleg type experience but this one is pretty damn unique for that price! Especially if its from 2018, still really good for a buck in 2023

[@gn1l262]

actually true better than the xiaomi a1 with a mtk a22 chipset it just only runs on a new android version

[@dmo848]

It really is.😂

[@KopyKat81]

It looks like a fun phone! You done a good job reviewing it.

[@LazzzybOi]

eyy every Linch fan deserves more promotion here, love your stuff mate

[@isy51]

First time I watched a 1:33H video on youtube, well done..well done 👏

[@CanizaM]

Accidentally read "streaming" as "screaming" for some reason, then couldn't stop thinking of that substitution every time you said the word... 😂

[@ROSNADOR]

THIS IS HOW REVIEWS SHOULD BE MADE!!! 🎉

[@FiatUno2003]

if you need a MP3 player that's good, simple, straight forward and doesn't have any ads I would recommend AIMP3. I use it both on my PC and mobile phone and it plays literally any file format. I found one cheapo mp3 player that my uncle used on the early 2000s and all the songs were on some weird format that I literally never saw and I managed to actually hear them by using aimp3

[@FiatUno2003]

this feels like an ad but it's just a recommendation

[@TingFeng77]

Personally I prefer ArmAmp, it's ancient and still refers to OneDrive as SkyDrive but hey it works There is a "remove ads" button/iap but I've never seen a single ad ever, probably whatever it connects to is long gone Retro Music Player or foobar2000 are good options too

[@dull_scythe]

​@@nooneinpartmusicolet or oto music, I flip flop between the two... the queues on musicolet are just so so good

[@user-xu2pi6vx7o]

Any reason to not suggest VLC?

[@barneyDcaller]

I am still using Poweramp since 2014

[@BeEhUmBLe7945]

Oh, that's a cool as cat you got there! I wanna have one!!!! I had a blast with your singing talent!!! lol.

[@RomaniaOverpowered]

If supported in open camera, select api level 2, and try to switch between each individual sensor

[@JuliaMono]

1:16:25 To address the zombie issue: zombies - in linux at least - are processes that have ended but the process that started them has not taken notice of that yet and collected their exit code. As long as that has not happened, the kernel will keep track of the processes return code and status using a 'mock process' just for that purpose - these are called zombies. Since there is a linux kernel way down in the Android system, i suspect that this is what you see there.

[@Royal_R3GALIA]

I've seen Chinese TikTok mass content production factories using these

[@cliffordreynolds1835]

Should be at 100k by the end of the year, or very soon after! Excellent.

[@stevenspencer5367]

Fantastic video. Watched it over 2 sessions, but only because I started it in the early hours of the morning lol. I really enjoyed the Janky live stream. Lots of giggles but the cats trying to sleep on me were not too happy. Lol

[@barneyDcaller]

1:05:52 the man was too stunned to speak 😂😂😂

[@vuvinh2032]

What is this mean????

[@naoeemerald8720]

This is my new favorite review episode on Smoorez 😂😂😂 I like the live stream session lol

[@chrissutch4455]

Love your ramblings and your reviews dude

[@coreybabcock2025]

Your voices you do are beyond awesome ! You do it well especially the Hindi POS call center scammer voice

[@pancakebob553]

"Revanced if you're on mobile" smoorez is so real for not acknowledging that iPhones exist

[@Josh-oc7ib]

39:12 That was some nightmare fuel

[@kuremaClaimer]

1:00:08「ありがとう継母」：Thank you stepmother. It's in Japanese and sounds like professional voice actor's.

[@zzoinks]

Haha it sounds like all the Japanese video game commercials. Is it a normal accent in Japanese, or are they exaggerating the voice?

[@kuremaClaimer]

@@zzoinks The accent is totally normal. At the same time, it is clearly different from the tone spoken in everyday conversation or even movie or drama. It sounds like a voice material of a game or anime.

[@netako]

That's because that voice clip is actually from a video game, it's a voice clip provided by Nakoruru's first voice actress Harumi Ikoma, this particular voice clip is from the SNK game Samurai Shodown II.

[@LeeZhiWei8219]

Awesome video. Can't wait to catch another of your live streams. Haha

[@parshakamarsh]

I wonder how many people went searching after your "advert" for Bigo Live 😂

[@tyttuut]

The vocal performances in this video were incredible.

[@JustAPersonWhoComments]

The phone has sensors and a remote control for some interesting live streams. I can't wait to see what kind of chaos people will create with this gadget

[@Alexander0189]

So now we have a phone with an Owen Wilson start up sound 🙃

[@2010MegaScooter]

8:29 Hey SMOOREZ, I used Google translate, and this is what is inscribed on the box: Live broadcast Short video Dedicated smart mobile device🤜🏽🤛🏽

[@Sunscreen723]

you are very sweet good with the voice impressions !! also very cool video !

[@caretakergaming21A]

I thought he sounded more like Hank hill in that one bit

[@CzlowiekDrzewo]

You are really good at doing voices!

[@app0the]

That wacky remote thing reminded me of how I was using an Apple remote on my macbook with BoinxTV to set off effects covertly while recording. Thought it was a jank thing but nope, now it's a production technique apparently :P

[@lukasegeling5205]

Though the execution leaves a lot to be desired, at least it's an original design.

[@FatBlokeDoingStuff]

Great video, I really enjoyed it. I might have to pick one up, Can you make the next one a little longer? I've got a long drive coming up.

[@DoubtingThomas333]

I always use "Diesel power - The Prodigy" to test audio.

[@latronx]

Maybe the second rear camera its an b/w camera, like those old Huawei p9, its suposed to improve in some way image quality and night performance

[@SMOOREZ]

That did actually cross my mind during the teardown. I went "this looks straight out of a Huawei". So it's definitely a possibility but I'm still unsure exactly what it is.

[@jjcoolaus]

No voice calls next year then. Optus will continue on for some time but 3G’a time is limited. Also a true “streamer” phone should be 5G but we are taking low cost here

[@bryanrobertson6844]

This would've made a great starter streaming kit if they'd just fix the peakiness of the wireless mic before they went under.😅

[@s6edge7]

spooky scary was a good throw back :)

[@johngreenwald2954]

The “Something, something and something just there” on the front of the box translates as: “Live broadcast short video dedicated smart mobile device”

[@MrNobody91]

31:13 great music genre choice!

[@paul119]

Accubattery app can you show original datas and 20-100% charge can show how much left from 5k battery ..I bet its around 80-81%

[@LastofAvari]

55:17 This phone was worth it because of this effect :D

[@deathdogg0]

Damn how much did you smoke before the live stream bit! Lmao I've never laughed so hard at one of your vids

[@B0ssReaper]

@SMOOREZ there is another way to pronounce huibo, it's huibo, much easier to say

[@syahirnizal6284]

Thats sound the same btw😂

[@mattdavis9601]

Another fun video. I'm an American and it's one hour until the 4th, Independence Day. Some dingbat neighbors about five houses down are already setting off mortars. The neighborhood sounds like when CNN sends their least favorite journalist into a warzone. Anyways; I enjoyed this extra long (two and a half British invasions of Zanzibar) review as it was a great distraction. I have memories of UC browser. They're an old company. You could sideload and run Java apps and games on a PSP with an app called PSPKVM. I had the Java version of UC browser installed on my PSP back before cheapo smartphones were a thing. It was markedly more capable than the stock Netfront browser. That said, I liked Opera Mini better than either and that's what I used 99% of the time. Still, seeing that squirrel unlocked some memories. Also, JXD Android gaming tablet review when? :-D

[@zzoinks]

Those are the same browser apps that came on Ashens fake iphone. I think it was the iphone 3gs or iphone 4 knockoff he reviewed. (since it ran java!)

[@mintoo2cool]

holy shit 1 hr review! lets go!

[@rickyavila3549]

😂best one I've seen 😂and I've seen a lot of your videos shouts out from Mexico

[@tigersusyt]

The rear camera looks like google pixel thing

[@pvisit]

Huibo Technology is still in Business but in the Bitcoin market only. Looks like this was their only phone.

[@myrmeko]

19:45 You can just use ZArchiver to dumo the system files. Just have to go into system and copy-paste each folder onto an SD-Card or the internal storage, then copy it. To dig into its guts, the most important folders are framework, the app folders and the libraries. But you can copy most of them anyway. I think only a very few are actually protected by the Android system and cannot be copied, but those are useless anyway to a system dump. 29:49 Damn. It wants lossless audio.😂

[@NeoDoug1]

Please tell me that boot up sound is available as an mp3 somewhere?!

[@greyshadow9498]

I'm going to use this mic when interviewing the President, especially the autotune

[@i1DERProductions]

Been a while since I could laugh at a Rick Roll 😁🙃

[@choosingmusic11488p]

❤ Best launcher for huwaei p30 pro

[@Erebus-PCFX]

The "Beauty Mode" turns you into a sleep paralysis demon.

[@NortelGeek]

The curves look identical to my old ZTE Grand X Max Plus from 2015.

[@MainAvel]

I'm honestly impressed what you can pack in a cheapo phone like that! now if you could unlock its bootloader and stick LineageOS on it...

[@emlrvapur31]

this phone is pretty good man!!!

[@rinkima]

Maybe you have to go to settings and search for that Music Player. And in that settings you have to give permission to like (ALLOW EVERYTHING)

[@mickeymouse12678]

Oh my lord that "beauty filter" is nightmare fuel lmao

[@hmklegend2791]

13:59 YTPed(Comedy Gold) Bootsound😂😂😂

[@KaiCheetah]

Wondering where he got that wolf tee? At 57:49

[@whollymindless]

Did "beauty" just enlarge your eyes?

[@mal0gen]

That's considered cute or beautiful in asian culture, i guess.

[@dlev]

What’s the best phone for this today?

[@KiraSlith]

14:00

[@theTHINKER69420]

Hooked on these hour-long reviews, love it😈

[@theTHINKER69420]

Rewatching

[@shun0825]

sony Xperia actually has a streaming phone but the price yah know $$$$

[@anLizard]

It is kind of wild how these super gimmicky weird phones exist, but making a small flagship with a headphone jack is too hard for the western smartphone industry.

[@amopy6398]

IT GOT RGB BABY!!!!!

[@zzoinks]

How do you do such good voice acting

[@zzoinks]

What if you block off the second camera with some tape to see if it affects the photos

[@alessiobaronello917]

I need a key to live, bc right now I dont have one

[@graealex]

I am really curious to know how you think a "5MP depth sensor" or even a "13MP depth sensor" actually works. Because there's no such thing, especially not in a $100 phone.

[@Chop43]

KZbin quality ™️. I didn't get notification 😞

[@hmklegend2791]

11:04 I wish Samsung and other brands follow this instead of Apple being a trendsetter removed Micro SD card(I know this is not related to this video but still..) and headphones and also non removable battery maybe...

[@speakerbasstester1639]

Send me the link to this, wanna give it a try for myself

[@Chepecafeteria]

Is the speaker that high pitch or is the song that bad?

[@RealRedcodi]

Good video!

[@ChaossX77]

21:05 You knew the remote was dead at the beginning why weren't you charging it while you were waffling on for 20 minutes? Plus all the wrong info you've had to add text for. Great stuff.

[@NalubwamaDaphine]

where can get the touch screen at

[@DavaCraft]

This phone is even better than Welcome phone and with Snapdragon chipset not the nonsense MediaTek MTxxxx chipset

[@Buzzy_44]

Smoorez please do a review of yota phone

[@dvsur]

Reminds me at a Sony Xperia
