This $60 Tiny Smartphone from AliExpress is Confusing (NOMU T200 Review)

[@SMOOREZ]

*Feel free to explain the rabbit hole that this device has created* it's not dolby. it's just dts. oops. sorry. ALSO WARNING - The Video Test is VERY Shaky so it may trigger Motion Sickness! Just an update on the Giveaway. I will still be holding the livestream to announce winners on the 18th but I've stopped entry only as I had accounts being created to double their chances of winning which makes it unfair on the people who have entered. I should've made it more clearer that the comment had to be about the channel and not just anything as I had people leaving bible verses which was a bit strange so yeah. Sorry folks. But hopefully it will all be sorted once I get to the Live Stream. And this is the confusing tiny phone.

i have dts on my pc

[@vetacez]

and dolby on on my old lenovo tablet from 2013 thts lazy as h*ll

[@RSP04]

For some reason, my brain started remembering "Total Confusion" by A homeboy, A Hippie & A Funki Dread after 9 and half minutes. Probably fits the theme of the video 😁

[@Yellow_1173]

Apparently this phone is just mostly the Unihertz Jelly Pro parts, but Unihertz has moved on to newer phones that sell for hundreds and there were parts left over at the factory. Both companies are from China, Unihertz in Shanghai, and Nomu in Hong Kong. Neither likely have their own factories, so to get rid of what was left, Nomu buys the phones with some downgraded specs to sell as budget phones. Even if Unihertz does know, they likely don't care since parts they would otherwise have to pay for are bought out by another company that isn't really competing with them.

[@burnutec3]

The unihertz has mt6735 as far as they say, the t200 has mt6737

[@stevenspencer5367]

Was going to say something similar. May as well use parts not used and rebrand to recover as much costs,as possible. 😊

[@evefavretto]

I wonder if it's based/using the parts of the original Unihertz Jelly, instead of the Jelly Pro, that had slightly lesser specs (less RAM/Flash).

[@NicVandEmZ]

I searched the imei and comes back as a jelly pro

[@Yellow_1173]

@evefavretto The original jelly did have a 2 GB of RAM option, but the internals are likely just parts thrown in since this is made in a factory that likely makes multiple brands. Still, even the first Jelly has a front camera, which this Nomu doesn't. That doesn't necessarily prove it's not original Jelly parts since they had a slot for one on the shell, but it's unlikely they had original parts left since by the time this Nomu was made, even the Jelly Pro was out of production.

[@FiatUno2003]

The fact that this man manages to make a 1 hour long video entertaining is incredible. I love watching your videos while I eat lunch.

[@samueldr]

Agold is an ODM. As typical with ODMs, their website hasn't seen an update in over 10 years. It is likely that Agold is the ODM for the jelly pro line of devices and that this is either Agold dumping overstock, Unihertz dumping overstock (less likely) or Nomu partnering with Agold for a small phone, and Agold cheaping out and basically copy-pasting the same device without care. A mix of option 1 and option 3 is what I would bet on.

[@samueldr]

Oh, and digging through my jellypro archives, found proof that there is indeed two variants of the jelly pro (m and n)... Your version number in the wireless update app states it would be an "N" for yours, if it is not actually a third unrelated device and ROM build. With Unihertz, the reported differences were "6737M vs. 6737T". It is unclear which of m or n had the T vs. the M, and what other differences there could have been, if any. But here's the fun part: the ROM zips in my archive had these names: `c223v37n_dfl_pro` and `c223v37m_dfl_pro`. C223! The same thing as what's on the main board! In the end, it is unclear if v37 is related to the board version. I would hazard a guess that it isn't.

[@eraeusboorwel]

I'd absolutely love to hear all the music you've made! If you can upload it somewhere, please do!

[@KannaKamui]

That may well be the best camera I've ever seen on basically anything in that price range.

[@andyfloyd8583]

I started with a Jelly 2e, went to a Jelly Pro, then a Jelly 2. I also have the Unihertz earbuds. I came from a 2016 iPhone SE. All pocket friendly. I use the Pro to scan prices with the WalMart app.

[@evildoervoltaire666]

Yesterday i just figured out that if you long press on the flashlight button you can control the flashlight brightness level 😊

[@BertiGameplay]

imagine using this phone as a smartwatch

[@clarityisgreen]

Song you made is awesome. Dnb it's life. We wanna hear more of your tracks

[@RockRedGenesis]

6:36 - Smoorez is going to hit himself in his confusion!

[@KOSMOS1701A]

dood, event horizon is like one of my favorite horror movies, you got wicked taste

[@siopapu]

your back! i love these videos

[@bradye21playsIndieHorror]

It's small, but that just means more smarts packed into every square inch!

[@Whigu]

14:18 That bank thing is probably for Finnish nordea bank because of that fi part

[@bradye21playsIndieHorror]

Please release "Some EP I Never Made" (with that title). I'll buy it at a high price.

[@Slartifartblast]

Honestly, for A$60 it's not a bad phone, the camera is ok for the price. It's the sort of thing I'd use for a work phone, I always use a cheap phone that I can make/receive calls for work, something that I can break and it doesn't matter. I would absolutely use it for that.... 📱

[@stevenspencer5367]

Great video. Rather impressed by this little phone. The camera and video was surprisingly good. I wouldn't get one as a spare. Its way too small for my stubby fingers ( its a thing) and my eyes are well passed their prime. Lol. Android a bit too old and battery size are not a selling point. It could still have a life as a prison burner. It looks small enough for comfort. Said tge actress to the Bishop. 😂 Thanks for the help earlier. Not seen that kind of scam thing. ❤

[@BlackWolf42-]

I do like your D&B track. It takes me back to a better time.

[@paul119]

never seen anybody who can make even 30min videos about phones like this ..but you making 1 hour...what a legend😂

[@Blakegamer7000]

18:16 that is the same low battery noise my old Nabi and my TCL A1 makes

[@Themanoff987]

at 05:37, the "without "word from the aliexpress is not the same font as the unihertz one, may be edited and the" 2gb" seems not aligned with the "ram" word may be edited (i hope im not wrong, and i hope i helped you)

[@SMOOREZ]

Yeah I took note of this but just didn't make it clear enough in the video that the AliExpress listing spec sheet has been edited and looks a bit off but thank you anyways :)

[@mattelder1971]

The only thing I can think of is that these were factory rejects that got sold off to a third party. Doesn't explain the lack of camera though.

[@psychorabbitt]

8:22 When we find out that Smoorez doesn't know the difference between a run on sentence and a bulleted list of items.

[@bradtoddler3765]

Something to point out that this phone literally using unlock & lock sound + charging sounds from Oppo ColorOS, except low battery sound is from Android 4.4 “KitKat”.

[@Ibrahimdude]

And not to mention that click sounds is very similar to Samsung 2011 device

[@anjocaidopl4642]

its surprising, but the camera looks to be quite ok, for that type of device :P

[@justanotherfreakinchannel9069]

Wow, that is possibly the worst phone battery I have ever seen. I watched it drop 13% in 3 minutes, and then CONTINUE to drop to 1% battery AFTER you plugged it in. Just wow. 😳

[@_gelon]

I'm rocking an Unihertz Jelly Star as my daily driver (along with a Mix Fold 3, yeah, strange combo) and I have to say that it is a damn good phone. My only complains are the somewhat-crappy LCD (it goes blue-ish if you view it in angle and has some ghosting) and the hardly usable GBoard due the size of the screen, but aside of that it works amazingly well. I recognized the custom layer as soon as you turned on this one.

[@badwraskal6522]

Got to be honest the camera shots arent as bad as i thought theyd be

[@tdata545]

Aren't Nomus the thing from My Hero Academia? The hybrid humans that All For One creates, or commissions?

[@tdata545]

It looks like a mini sidekick. Expecting that screen to slide up and reveal a keyboard.

[@xxproffesionalzxx7332]

Please review more phones and dumbphones it's so interesting to watch

[@braylenlandkey]

23:19 WOW....that is indeed a magic!

[@asam_sulfat1182]

By just installing spotify or youtube music, you will have a perfect media player that always up to date. The best part is that it doesn't have to use simcard ( since sim card drain battery). Just connect to wifi and download all the songs you want and there you go. Even it has bluetooth so we can connect it to tws or speaker. Omg i want one 😍

[@dmo848]

Pretty sure I had an LG phone that was small just like that it ran Android 2.3.7

[@coooooda]

ay, i have a samsung galaxy y which is also really small and also has android 2.3.6

[@The_Tech_Kid]

This is just the older version of the Unihertz jelly Pro. It originally ran Android 7 with 2 gigs of RAM and 16 gigs of storage

[@burnutec3]

I literarly bought this yesterday, without seeing the livestream and everything. I own servo xs11 , soyes x16, unihertz jelly2 and jelly 2e , the nomu t200 is the clone of uniertz jelly pro

[@nailspaasmr412]

can you use the battery from the jelly pro in this device?

[@burnutec3]

@nailspaasmr412 yes, yes you can, it's literarly the same.

[@loganmacgyver2625]

i dont get why these tiny phones dont use T9, like the old sony ericsons did in portrait mode

[@mattelder1971]

It's been a while since I used an Android phone, but isn't there an option for that in the Google keyboard settings?

the design is rounded to fit better in a prison wallet

[@RandomStuffByMike]

That ringtone is from Vivo and is called "Percussion"

[@burnutec3]

Oh, the jelly pro is only android 7 , took out front camera for custom rom instability? Maybe.

[@jarikarppinen]

Nice phone. I'd like to have something like that for work.

[@UserT5959]

No its pretty normal, hand print makes a little shadow type thing on that black plastic thats visible cause prints made a little ash color

[@allenrusselljr]

Im always drawn to tiny gadgets. Im still waiting for a mini one thats 4g.

[@andrasszabo7386]

Ripley is beautiful and sweet :) If this is an Unihertz Jelly Pro, where is the missing 1GB RAM? At least Unihertz sold the Jelly Pro with 3GB RAM.

[@burnutec3]

Also the elephone q was the first with this exact look , but android 4.4

[@leonardodavidenriquezsilva7169]

did they really list the actual usable capacity , thats protty good tho

funny how it has almost THE EXACT SAME specs as an LG X Power except for the battery and the size

Is there a mini phone y'all can recommend that has a snapdragon chipset? I'm planning to use it as a DAP for Bluetooth aptx connections.

not mini by any means but the motorola edge 30 neo is small enough and runs just fine
