UPDATE: Zenfone 10 can hit 1100 nits peak
I think you got the battery spec wrong too, it's 5000mAh
Edit: my bad, I fell for the rumors. Video is accurate
@@Reapvrno, zenfone 10 packs 4300 mahs
Taiwan's ASUS vs South Korea's Samsung.
Talking about small phones, I would love to see how you review the iPhone SE 2022 since I am using one as my main driver: daily usage and also q heavy gaming
To cut cost, Zenfone 10 still use rigid oled (thick bezel) and e4 material
Moreover, zenfone 10 lacks of tele lens
Even though zenfone 10 is a small phone, it is thick, especially after wearing a case in daily use
I strongly considered getting an s23 this year, but I opted for the Zenfone instead. The speakers, the camera, the size, the battery life and wireless charging. It's absolutely amazing.
Agree, the battery is reaaaally good! And many of us are still using the audio jack.
Great choice!
What is the battery life like? I get 8+ hours SOT with heavy use on my s23+.
same but instead i opted for sony Xperia 5 V and it's totally awesome! no regret and loving the 21:9 aspect ratio and the battery live is longggg.
Батарея по сравнением с самсом точно лучше в сто раз😊
Yep, this was the comparison I wanted to see. Thank you Ella!
The Zenfone's back design is so much more unique and nicer. On the front, the Galaxy is unbeatable though.
Overall they seem pretty similar options and it will come down to personal preference and needs: camera/battery/gaming/headphone jack/design/software support/brand
Headphone jacks are extremely useful and more companies should bring them back, honestly, they are kinda a deal breaker for me. Yes, I could get a dongle, but why should I have to if I'm already paying a ton of money anyway? Maybe if big companies are hell-bent on getting rid of them that's fine for thier "hollier than thou" flagships but It would be nice if they consider it for their midrange models or idk thier highest/lowest range of their flagships since one is all about being extra and the other is "congratulations you're barely not a peasant or this fits your needs just fine, you recognize that, and that's acceptable." (appologies I'm feeling a bit saucy today).
It's just with the headphone jack there are less things to charge, I personally prefer wired headphones, they are easier to keep track of and hey they won't die on you unless they break or malfunction.
totally agree. its just to sell us their bluetooth headphones which are worse in every single way :( theyre much more expensive yet they break, theyre easy to lose, they have connection issues, and they are often uncomfortable bc of the weight. still hanging on to my pixel 4a for now :P
for us gym goers and with active lifestyle, bluetooth is the way. but yea audio jack is important as well for me when it comes to work or if ever my earbuds are on low battery, I could just switch up.@@dqalombardi
I just ordered a pair of wired headphones. Nothing is more annoying than trying to watch a show or when on a call and you get the incessant "low battery" alert on wireless earbuds. It should say it a few times and stop.
Exactly! It seems rather offensive that Samsung discontinued the headphone jack😅😅
Love how honest and in-depth your reviews are!
Great, fair review! You pointed out stuff other reviewers have missed.
Been seeing your reviews and comparisons lately, Fantastic comparison, even better than most tech-reviewers ..subscribed!
honestly i love the power button doubling as the menu pull down. and the other shortcuts with the buttons
I fail to see how people keep bashing on the 2 years of android updates. It's not like it will be all bad after 3 years lol. My samsung s6 I've been using for 8 years now runs on android 7 and almost all apps still work to this day.
Most people also swap their phone for a newer one 2-3 years into its lifespan, so it won't even be a hindrance in any way.
If you wanted to always run on the newest OS, there are for sure going to be custom ROMs available to you to increase the lifespan even further.
Custom Roms do not play well with Banking apps. Big minus for me. Also security updates are the important one imo. And there the difference is 5 years for samsung and 4 years for Asus. So I'm happy about that.
@@silverwolfgecko7064 I see nobody use their phone for more than 8 years. Moreover, banking apps will take atleast 6 years (or even more) to get to the state in which you cannot launch them from a phone released this year.
Then sure, one could argue security updates being useful (especially for gullible people), but one year being such a dealbreaker that it makes you not want to buy the phone? Come on...
Been using my phone for about 7 years now give or take the only reason I start looking for an upgrade is when my phones starts to lag or misbehave which unfortuntly it seems it is about time especially since it tends to skip alarms from time to time and most alarms are health related so I can't have that.
So here I am looking for something I could buy next year for cheaper, honestly, I'm not very sold on Samsung S series some are starting to say that their camera has a bit of a yellowish hue or tone and I kinda see it in the photos, zenfone 10 is on my list though and I'm kinda considering the flip motorola razr 40 but not quite sure about that.. hopefully more considerable options pop up as the year comes to an end.
@@oscarkarlsson8220 @oscarkarlsson8220 you missed all of my points. Custom Roms do not play well with banking apps, not old OS. This is in case someone decides to go for a custom Rom because they might still want new features. You said not more than 8 years, which seems like a random number anyway, but also does not have anything to do with the conversation. Furthermore, saying security updates is for gullible people is like saying facebook is for security minded people. It's the complete opposite. Having your phone secure is one of the most important things, because almost all of your personal life (banking, photos, apps, passwords, contacts) is on it. How on earth is a security update for gullible people?
@@silverwolfgecko7064 I wouldn't trust Custom Roms. Especially with banking and online purchases.
I was very close to buy Zenfone 9, but went for an S23. The main dealbraker was 4 years of updates vs 2 on zenfone. Overall, I'm not regretting picking s23, and still would get over Zenfone 10. Samsung is just a bit better. Yet, headphone jack and 4300 mAh battery are such a cool thing. If Asus gave us 3 years of updates, it'll be a best compact on the market, but because of not very good software support, smaller screen with non-symmetrical bezels (yet same body size), side fingerprint scanner, no telephoto, i can't see Zenfone competing with S23 (especially if we consider that Zenfone 9 was far better than S22 with Exynos), which is sad. This phone is close to be great and becoming really successful on the market
I was so in love with the headphone jack and I couldn't let go until the big companies broke me and I can't remember what I needed the headphone jack for 😭
They should be corresponding to the consumers' needs and not the other way around 😭
We're being misleaded
I fail to see how the 2 years of software updates are such a dealbreaker? It's not like the phone is just going to suddenly stop working.
@@oscarkarlsson8220
It's just a marketing BS that they made us subconsciously adopt, but let me tell you the real reasons why the S23 is better:
It'll get cheaper where the Zenfones usually don't.
It has a telephoto camera.
It has a 3.2 USB-C port with Dex support unlike the 2.0 found in the Zenfone with absolutely no video out.
OneUI is better overall
@@samfisher3336 Those are some actual valid points that I can understand for choosing Samsung, especially the dex mode for those lacking computers.
Though the camera is fine for me as long as it takes decent photos. Pricewise the Zenfone is 200€ cheaper here in my country.
@@samfisher3336wdym Asus' UI is leagues better than the bloated, buggy mess that is OneUI
What a review, thank you for the detailed analysis! Although we could hope that many of the camera issues, especially the over-sharpening, could be fixed via software updates, I won't hold my breath. Looks like I'm going to be getting an S23!
Glad it was helpful!
IMO, S23 also suffers with extreme overshapening. Even the RAW files are not really raw. They are processed in the background before being produced. So, Samsung may be better than Asus, but it is not better overall.
This is such an excellent video. I was mainly interested in the Zenfone, and you showed so many features and things that some other reviewers just totally gloss over, like the gestures and 144hz trick
Call me weird But Just the fact zenfone 10 has a headphone jack I'll prefer it over the s23 lol plus I think the zenfone looks so much sexier over the Samsung s23
And much better battery life
well should've pick sony Xperia 5 V it has both headphone jack and sd card yet small from factor only 6'
Absolutely
Yeah, u weird
Was not expecting the size to be similar. The ZF body looks to be a hair taller, though with a smaller display due to the thicker bezels on the top and bottom.
You were very harsh on the Zenfone despite its offering a rarely compact design with more features than the Galaxy like a headphone jack, a bigger battery and a 6 axis stabilization.
Yes the s23 is the more refined phone but we have to give credit to those companies that are keeping the compact phones' segment alive.
It's not rarely compact. It's in the same size category as the S23 and regular iPhone 13/14.
@@JohnSmith-gb8hd
Ok but you named 3 other phones, 2 of which are feature phones not smart ones and you don't call that rarity!
@@samfisher3336 What nonsense are you talking? Those are all smart phones.
She definitely pointed out every flaw on the Zenfone 10. Even when she said it was it was a better gaming phone...she said the screen could be too small. Bias review.
Great review! Lots of detail and interesting info. A really useful comparison. Thanks 👍🏾
Very well details. I was searching for a small phone that is not heavy to hold for this year.
I like that you explain it in a timely manner and not in a rush.
I also like your accent not forcing yourself to be American or Asian but just natural.
I notice that you also highlighted very important features such as moving capture which no other RUclipsr does.
Keep it up, Ella!
Another aspect is that the s23 has better software support overall. 4/5 years of software/security updates vs 2/4 on the Zenfone. Even if the Zenfone is cheaper that is an important factor for longetivity and the cheaper part isn't really guranteed given as Samsung runs sales routinely.
How You guys rolling out you're tounge for updates.. what's the point of getting update if the phone come with stable software and optimisation..
Just don't fall for RUclipsrs words .. grew up kido 😭
What a joke.
Anything with width more than 68mm IS NOT COMPACT.
@@princip533Nice. Now we're gatekeeping longevity because they're "RUclipsr words". Some RUclips comments... 🤦♂️
@@princip533 it's also security updates bro. Sure, out of the box the phone may have stable software, but obviously as time progresses older devices become more vulnerable so they also need to be updated with security patches/updates
@@princip533 because down the road, that optimization won't be felt. plus apps constantly updates, that's the point having software (+security) updates on your phones
I wish you would review mid ranged phones as well and not just flagships! I really appreciate your reviews
Seeing after an hour.
Props for the video and a huge thumbs up from Mozambique.
thank u!
In regards to display width.
I found that older, smaller, 5'2 inch phones have a pretty similar screen width as newer devices.
Which means that anyone can still feel right at home with smaller devices.
agreed, but what you're missing is that the travel distance from screen itself is what makes deal breakers. A 13 mini is good for me, but battery sucks. If they could make an andriod with 3-4k battery capacity that would be ideal. Camera I can sacrifice for it. Think about it, why do people have those pop sockets behind their phones? Because without it, the travel distant on these "compact" phones would tire out your hand throughout the day. Is there anything similar to a samsung galaxy s7 dimensions but made in past 3 years?
I really like the double click feature for taking instant pictures on the Asus, hopefully Samsung inplements it on my S23
Great vid as always Ella. Also, cool new desk setup. 🙂
Thank you! 😁
love your videos, really well produced and clear comparisons. don't know why you don't have a bigger audience.
aw tysm!
It's really great that you specifically mentioned that you like your skin tone more in the S23 photos.
Since the color dynamic are very flat on phone cameras compared to the one you used for shooting this video, I wouldn't tell which phone camera is more true to life.
Very good review with so many details about in-hand usage, design and hw stats.
I think you could have more technical numbers, hardware stats etc. in a small subtle text somewhere on the screen, in your own style.
maybe that's what she meant that s23 looks more true to life while zenfone making the colors more pop and contrasty
Awesome to see your channel taking off and doing well. you do great reviews! keep up the good work!
Thanks a ton!
I like your takes on Zenfone 10 design details, you have a very unique approach to describing it, first time I heard about creaky plastic back!
I mentioned long time ago in a survey to focus on user experiences over stats and thanks a lot for doing that. Your reviews are already great anyway and I watch every single review about new phones on your channel. Big ups!
I just discovered THANKS TO YOU AND THIS VIDEO about Keys cafe and holy molly its so fascinating and adorable my keyboard is now glowing thanks ;D !!
Thanks for the video comparison. I just confirmed trading in my S22U for the compact S23. Yea, back to smaller phones.
I enjoy listening to your voice, clear and crispy.. well done
Very comfortable overview, thanks.
i subscribe to very few creaters and really like your channel! ❤
5:20 certainly, the vivo v3 max had this feature back then. My mom had this phone and its features were far more superior compared to other models during that period and also it worked seamlessly. It was the best phone we had so far. In fact, it works fine even now.
Great comparison. I have been interested in Zenfone since the 4 or 5, but I never actually purchased one.
Really love your calling out the small details like the uneven cam bumps and bezels. Definitely deal breakers for me 😅
Thanks for this review!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much, your video helped me decide for the s23. I really like the zenfone but no one else mentioned the vibration when listening to music, that’s one thing no one told me about the Xperia 5 iii and when I bought it I hate it.
So 6 inches is small nowadays?
As a small smartphone enjoyer it triggers me when people say that smaller screen can make a phone less desirable. No! It's preference. You either prefer a big one or small one. There's no general rule bigger = better. It doesn't work this way. I hear this a lot from my fiends and collegues that smartphones are too big and they'd actually prefer a smaller one. Can we please stop discriminate compact smartphones by saying that they are worse because the are smaller? I see a smaller screen as a pro not as a con and I'm not the only one.
sure there is a general rule.....bigger is better if you are a slave to your phone or if you watch alot of video or do alot of reading......other then those things a smaller phone is better
She meant that the smaller screen of the Zenfone is less desirable since the body of the phone is still as large as the S23, due to the thicker bezels.
@@JohnSmith-gb8hd S23 is a bit wider. But even if the body was exactly the same size, bigger screen is more difficult to navigate with one hand so bigger is still worse for me 🤷♂
@@Ukiya44 At this size class it hardly matters. Just get an iPhone 13 Mini if you want an actual one-handable small phone.
@@JohnSmith-gb8hd See this is the problem. This is what I'm talking about. This is why I'm always so mad when someon says bigger is better. Because of that stupid thinking bigger = better we're stuck with only one option for a really small smartphone. A brand I really don't like. And now, even that brand abandoned small smarphones.
I would say : s23 for photos(if you get one not affected by the banana gate), display, updates; Zenfone 10 for size( more narrow 2,8mm), battery, headphone jack, 2 sim slot(but no esim)
Exelent review, I think the plastic material makes the phone a little bit more affordable, other than that in my opinion I don’t really care too much about the phone cosmetics and or camera lenses as long as the zoom gets better which means bigger camera lenses, right? I do like the smaller phones over bigger phones, the smaller the better, but the bigger the better too, as long as I can hold them comfortably in the palm of my hand! 👌😺🥰📱✨💎
I would definitely by the zenfone 11 but i would appreciate it if they maintain the same shape and size and increase the yrs of software update
My first smartfone was an Alcatel ASUS fone . I loved that fone because I thought the interface was great and it had a headphone jack . It was a great value purchase because it was really cheap . I'm planning on getting one with a different carrier .
today, a new youtuber got added to my list of fav tech youtubers
Good video. Lines in moving objects from zenfone 10 seem to be bcz of 766 sensor ? I do see the same problem other phones having this 766 sensor
The price tho, 360usd difference is huge. Zenfone 10 is already good for its price.
I can't be the only one who thought the Asus main camera pictures had a lot more detail in the background. The Samsung's were very mushy and oil painting-like
I had a flip phone with a tiny screen over a decade ago, but I still call a 5.9 inch screen small. I have 2 phones with screens at 6.8 inches, but I'd still like larger
I am truly troubled.
I am attracted to the Zenphone because I can get the 512gb version for around the same price of the s23 that only carries 256gb (and of those, I only get 200gb). If micro-sd cards were still a thing I wouldn't be so troubled but I'm the only idiot that still remembers them. But the s23 cameras... they're just better, I don't know if I actually care for One Ui anymore as most of the features I use on it are already in the Zenphone (long screenshot, pop-up windows, etc). If anyone could do a review on the cameras because there is this timer and palm feature where you can take a picture on the Samsung as I use that a lot haha. I don't know.
I will keep reading the comments to see if I can finally make a decision.
Wow, I think this is the best review I have seen for zenphone 10. You really show us the pros and cons on things that matters. Samsung device goes on sale often. I would definitely pick s23. Better camera and software.
Thank you for actually making this comparison. A couple of the other videos that I watched about this phone susipiciously didn't include any comparison with the normal S23, which is very weird as they are the same size. Did Asus try and stop you from making this comparison?
not at all
Nice catch with the photos
I think it comes down to OS preference.
Great comparison! I'm quite tempted by the bigger battery im the Zenfone, but here in Norway the Zenfone is 180$ more than the S23 right now, making it an even tougher buy😅
I think you should go for a S23. Right now, if you don't need a headphone jack Samsung seems to be a more reasonable buy. Even for the same price. I had a pretty bad opinion on Samsung phones, but the reviews on the S23 and few friend recommendations led me to getting S23. Don't regret it. It's a great phone
Get the s23! It's actually just outright better overall.
Get the S23 and buy accessories with that $180 like powerbank or Samsung earbuds.
In my country asus is not official release zenfone anymore the only phone they sell is rog phone. So the only way to buy zenfone 10 is buy it from seller make it even more expensive and dont have any warranty 😅
Interesting that the price could be so different. Here in Indonesia, Zenfone is $300 cheaper than S23, makin it harder to decide
You are so sweet ❤thanks for the video
My only problem with the zenfone is thrid party support for accessories. I really like the form factor of both phones but with samsung there is so much more third support for accessories which really helps me with keeping a phone long term
I agree with the other guy who commented, for the zenfone was surprised how easily was i able to find thousands of protectors for the phone, screen and even cameras in my country which usually doesnt cover stuff much
@@cmmartti more than just "a case" but rather a variety of cases at many different price points. Your welcome to spend your money how ever you want as am I. There are also functionality aspects , Samsung has partnered with windows , I'm able to utilize functions through that partnership. To relegate my statement to "a case" is ignorant!
@@ozzie1684well, what accessories are you talking about? You never said what accessories the s23 works better with, is your preferred case only on the s23?
It's android, anything android works with every android.
Great design review
Really nice review, comparing to the current gold standard which s23. S23 is superior in almost in everyway. Though, I would still chose zenfone for the battery and for the headphone jack. Most audiophile headphones are wired. Some people still prefer wired rather than convenience.
Kinda curious about that rumble that you mentioned though.
Non-uniform bezels are to work with the high lip at the top and bottom of phone cases.
Your presentation is pretty good, I like it .
Glad you liked it!
I love u , and your content ❤
I love getting technology reviews and comparisons from the absolutely beautiful and well spoken Ella.
Good review, Zenfone 10 should be compared with Samsung s23 or Pixel 7 or similar size phones and not with larger phones. I saw many videos comparing Zenfone 10 with S23 Ultra and Iphone 14 pro max etc.
What a joke.
Anything with width more than 68mm IS NOT COMPACT.
The only contenders is Sony Xperia 5 series
O hate it that these sizes nowadays this is "small" phone, when back then this is more mid size
No mention of storage, which is up to 512mb on the Zenfone. No mention of water resistance for the phonea either. Zoomed in video would have been nice as well. Other than that, nice review.
Maybe it's just me, but I actually miss larger bezels on phones. I hate to be accidentally pressing what I don't want, plus it helps to hold the phone better
i agreeeee
Kinda want this and upgrade from my pixel3. But I will miss the now playing features on pixel
Nice comparison
I recently saw your channel while scrolling through RUclips and your presentation is so good so yeah I became your subscriber from there on hope you can continue this flow and good luck 🤞
Thanks for subbing!
Thank you for this video. I'd watched the Zenfone 10 launch video and needed a decision between the S23 and it, and now it's clear to me I have to go with the Samsung---kind of unfortunate.
if you plan on keeping the phone for a while the samsung is better because of the 4 android version updates
If the price is comparable I would definitely go for S22 last year as opposed to Z9. But where I live Samsung's $400 more expensive...
I prefer the Zenfone, better battery life, headphone jack, better screen, no glass back prone to crack and glue to the back...
Samsung phones are good but run out of storage fast because of the Samsung 34 default apps that always have updates & that burns through storage quick & you Can't even disable some apps Zenfone very stock android you can disable apps & not many pre installed apps so yea
@@chromaticvisuelleit doesn't have a better screen, in fact it's the other way around
Beat it? Ofcourse its better than your samsung s23. Its has headphone jack, it has a charger, look better than your samsung s23. Only in the software support samsung is better.
IMHO if DEX desktop mode is available for the S23 it will probably put the choice over the top for me vs a Zenfone 10, especially if I had to carry secondary “always connected” work device, since I wouldn’t always need to fire up my laptop for “more than just a quick” email response just plug the S23 onto KVM connected USB C dock. Or for reviewing a PDF, doc or spreadsheet on a bigger screen.
Ella, what camera do you use for recorde your videos?
I prefer Zenfone 10 over S23 due to its larger 4300Mah battery, the 3.5mm headphone jack and the cameras array looks bolder. However Zenfone 9 or even 10 does not make it officially here in Malaysia and the biggest drawback is its software update is just too short compared to S23.
Same ship as you. But...😅Asus malaysia just lost 2 fans
great video
Love the video!
The Design Section looks really good entirely. The parts with natural backgrounds (wooden table and outdoors) and hands gestures and showing phone in hands feel more personal and connected when compared to the white table parts.
Really like the calm and natural vibe of the video.
@CreatedbyEllaYT
I like the wider screen on the S23 but I do like option of a headphone jack
Damn, Ella gave a pretty negative review. A lot of nice features had a 'but' attached. For what its worth the Zenfone 9 has been my favorite phone of the last decade and the 10 is a nice spec bump. I came from the S21+.
That's because the Samsung is pretty similar but better in almost every way.
The only thing I don't like about the Samsung is the UI and the aluminium sides which feels horrible in comparison to any other phone.
In conclusion, the Zenfone is solid but Samsung has it beat.
First time in this channel? Samsung biased channel for you
I'm curious how well the cellular system works. SA 5G, VoWiFi, VoNR, band aggregation, carrier compatibility, etc. Right now I have an Xperia 1 III that's so dismal at cellular that I travel with my old phone.
I have both the S22 and Zf9. The fingerprint reader on the Zf is MILES better than the S22 because it NEVER misses. I never need to double tap, not even when my finger is wet. On the S22, I often need to press 3 or more times to get it, and if my finger is wet, I have no hope.
The S22 has particularly bad heat management, so the Zf9 beats it easily there as well. The S23 vs. Zf10 heat management gap might be better though.
I can't really tell from the video but, as you have both, which of the two is taller/heavier?...thanks!
I love that the Zenfone has a headphone jack. Instant buy for me because of this.
this is the only comparison review that matters.
This is the same scenario I see with the pixel fold vs the zfold 4, the pixel fold is a good enough first attempt but the fold 4 overall is just better, 4 generations helped samsung get to this level of (although boring and repetitive) refinement.. And if that's against the 4, imagine against the 5...
swings and roundabouts...
Looked for a compact phone and really liked what the Zenphone offerd but at the end I went with the Xperia 5 as it offer a more premium camera and a lovely small frame.
Even Samsung has the swiping on the power button feature if you purchase a smartphone with a finger print sensor on the button, I remember using it on my old S10e and it was so useful even on it
My s8 had swipe functionality on the rear fingerprint sensor, which was better than the screen sensor, but they followed all else and went for the screen one which was a backward step.
How is the new location? Any good places for photo tests?
2:46 You prefer the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor but fails to open it on the first try 😂.
FINALLY, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN...
Tired seeing dudes on tech review 😅
cool video!
@11:30 is a boldy incorrect assessment.
Zenfone 50mp mode is accessible in the 'Camera resolution' menu item within the app settings.
Nice compact phone with unique rear design, but for cameras, updates and bezels I prefer the S23.
the one handed mode on the zenfone clearly isn't designed for you to use it all the time. i think it's very well designed because it doesn't change the scale or make anything smaller, it just brings the stuff at the top closer to you so you can hit it easily then put it back where it belongs after you've tapped it
True and I find it actually great and better than the Samsung as someone who has small hands and short fingers, chances are a screen that's a bit smaller than the origional won't make much of a difference compared to pulling things half way down.
Right! They have different purpose. Zenfone way seems more practical as well than miniaturizing the whole screen.
S23 is almost better in every aspect. If the Asus's Z10 price was relatively lower I would consider it but so far I decided to go with S23
I'm in disbelief that Ella points out crucial details of a phone which are not covered by even some of the biggest tech reviewers! You're doing a wonderful job.
Wish the Zenfone had expandable storage and better support. I also hate Samsung photo "smoothing". Just give me the real image and let me adjust after.
Hi Ella. If you select the non-asus optimised software, does it revert to Google's don't for the locks reen clock? Or does it still use Asus's horrible font?
Hi, thank you for your review. A question: while Samsung's phones come with DeX, does this new Zenfone come with a desktop mode?
Nope, only Samsung, Motorola, and Huawei have desktop mode
You can probably plug it in and screen share tho
@@abrahamalbert-onajobi9137 it seemed to me that Asus had a sort of desktop mode on its ROG line of smartphones... But I might be mistaken
Could you upload a video of your personalization of your Samsung
sure
