This Phone is Nearly Perfect!

Right.

This is the Asus Phone ten

honestly, what if you took it upon me to make my own phone and I didn't have to worry about how well it sells but I really wanted to use it?

I think that's what I would make lively music for.

Okay.

So do you remember the ones from last year?

Right?

It easily won my award for best small cell phone of the year and almost won my m v P all year round, with so many advantages: the smaller size, the most recent chip, excellent potato durability, the most performance, rock-solid cameras, and fluid, clean software, and a headset.

I mean all of this was packed into a seven hundred package on the Zela.

I mean, you just don't make phones like this anymore.

So now we have the iPhone ten and I think this one is almost perfect.

First of all, they kept basically all the good stuff.

Actually, yes, all the good things about the last phone, all the fundamentals that made it so good is the latest chip again.

It's the Snapdragon eight g two.

Is it still incredible performance, with world-class battery life?

Yes, it still has a headset, but they also directly improved the three smaller details that I actually had with last year's phone.

The first detail was that the phone didn't have wireless charging.

A lot of people said Oh, this would be a great phone, but it doesn't have wireless charging.

Now we have that era basically.

The only specification that was missing.

The iPhone ten now have the same battery size and I'm happy to report that the Snapdragon eight G two and the software combination still offer world-class battery.

I'm literally getting seven, eight, or more screen hours every day and I basically never consume it in less than twenty-four hours.

So now it's thirty-watt wired charging, with the charger included in the box, and now fifteen-watt wireless charging.

So there's basically no weak spot here happy to see you.

The second detail I made was actually the finish on the back.

So I still have my original iPhone nine in the same color, but I don't know if you remember.

I used this for about a month, during my review period and it was totally chewed up.

It's darker outside.

In the corners, especially for wearing black pants, you know.

The material frayed and stained the soft touch of the part of the iPhone 9 was easily worn out very quickly.

I understand that most people immediately put a case on their new phone, so I'm not going to ignore that.

But I also think that if you're going to make a phone with a good soft-touch finish, you want to be able to touch it.

It would be nice if you could use it normally and not have this insanely accelerated aging.

Then AZ told me that there's slightly different material on the back of that iPhone ten.

It feels a bit rougher, but it still has that soft-touch finish.

It still has this slightly sandy texture and from the looks of it so far it's more durable.

You can also see that there's a new blue logo in the corner and slightly clear text on the back of the phone, but I still think it's pretty and now there are several color options.

I have shown you the red eclipse, which is the one you have been using, but it also has a blue one, it has a green one, a black one and a white comet that is the only one that makes me nervous.

Maybe not, but still, if I'm judging just by the way that red is gone.

It's more durable than last year.

Which is amazing.

It still rolls around on those sides.

Matte black metal planes and the small cutouts for the earpiece and the fingerprint reader of the on and off button are really well built.

Assuming that it continues to remain the way it is, this has also been fixed, so the last small detail was that they are not emblematic cameras.

And that's really a detail, because this isn't a prime price phone and honestly, they're very good cameras.

Azul has done a great job with the software adjustment for years on its cameras, but it updated the cameras on the iPhone ten. It's still a fifteen-megapixel primary camera with great contrast software processing and lots of dynamic range.

But now there's an even more improved hybrid Giba stabilization system, it's part of the reason the rings on the back of this phone are so big.

There's a massive six-axis stabilization system that takes the handshake out of photos and also offers some of the most impressive shake-resistant videos I've ever seen.

So even without increasing the sensor or increasing the resolution, you end up with sharper exposures, with the camera in hand, and sharper low-light photos, because the entire camera system is better at canceling hand movement.

And also since there is no camera, no telephone, they worked on the software's zoom improvements.

The difference isn't really dramatic, and it's still not as good as having a dedicated zoom, but it's better than nothing.

After spending four or five times all of that compressed into a slightly more subtle pair of black rings on the back of this phone, I would consider that another win.

If I could still criticize the cameras, I would really choose a bit over the front camera.

It still has a small silver ring in the corner, it kind of reminds me of the Samsung from fifteen and four and it just highlights it a bit, instead of being a perfect cutout, like some other phones.

It's not a disaster, but it's there.

So no, it's perfect there are also technically, some other little things that they did you must have seen your one hundred, fourteen and four hertz screen.

Now they can say that on the spec sheet.

But it's only one hundred forty-four hertz during the game in certain games, but it actually still passes most of the time at one hundred twenty hertz it's super smooth and LPO, which is great.

But as you can see, they're technically allowed to say that it's now capable of one hundred, fourteen, and four hertz, and they've also added a bit of extra capacity for the smart key on the side on the off button, now it can do a quintuple function and a button on turn off is a fingerprint reader.

You can double tap to open the camera, you can press and hold whatever you want.

I do Google Assistant and you can slide up and down for that notification slider.

In general, the blue software is still very good, it's clean, it's almost a standard Android, and they have some extra optimizations and extra features there, which they added that things like battery health features and the little shortcut of the high-end tool that they have are generally very useful, I would like you to be able to open apps.

This is another small detail.

I would like you to be able to open apps in full screen from the high-end tool, but that only allows you to open apps in windows, on an already small phone.

But perhaps the most original thing I've seen, which really seems like something I would do if I were making an enthusiastic phone, that most people wouldn't mind, but still really cool, is the ability to customize the software.

Experience more specifically, so when you unpack and set up your phone for the first time, you can actually go through the menus and choose which parts of the phone you want.

Let them be, like the default Android and which parts you want to be customized by blue, from items like the launcher, to the quick settings.

I've never seen this in any other phone setup, only AZ does that.

I love that and they wrap up all those improvements and small fixes in a phone with the same price as last year.

Once again, who does that?

The price was kind of confusing.

I think it's a bit for some people, but it's basically still the same price as last year one hundred, nineteen, and nine dollars in the US.

But the price in Europe includes taxes and import duties, so it ended up at seven, one hundred, nineteen and nine euros.

Either way, it's literally still a lot.

So my last detail, my last thing that I would like to see improved with these iphones, which would really push it to the limit and almost a perfect phone is software support.

So Ausa now basically promises two years of software updates for the iPhone, which is good, but this isn't the full lifecycle of a phone like this.

Ideally, you would have it for three or four years and having full support during those three to four years would be very good, but other than that very good.

AZ Clearly, there's no such thing as a perfect phone, but this one is pretty close by.

Thanks for watching, see you at Next Peace.
