@skygradient6248 with an ad card loaded with content it's a magic box in the apocalypse. I can build a charger from a pencil and two wires connected to a voltage source.
Apple just "invented" information about time left to full battery on screen. Android had this for years. I feel sorry for apple users being ripped off in every single way.
@ Absolutely! It’s quite refreshing to see something new - although not very practical to use, but hey, at least they’re not sticking to that boring design of some other flagships.😁
@TYP1C1L Motorola had a projector snap-on for the Moto Z series phones with "Motomods" as well, but the Beam and the Beam 2 decimated their batteries, the motomod had an extra battery in it iirc so it lasted longer...but still not great.
3310 laughs in the face of destruction. It has no rival. Only thing aliens will find long after humans are gone is just 3310, I still have mine from 23 years ago and still works. Shame buying new frames is more difficult now and who doesn't like snake 😂😂😂
@rohanofelvenpower5566 yeah, if it were on a PC, those specs would be high mid range. The average CPU only has six cores, and the average prebuilt only comes with 8 GB of RAM
As a former owner of 3 different Unihertz phones, I need to mention that their software update policy used to be less than 12 months - the Jelly 2 got three updates, and that was it. The Jelly Star got even fewer I think. This may have changed but this leaves the phones dangerously vulnerable. I also had my Unihertz Jelly Star phone short circuit randomly (it wasn't even charging - I could just smell burning plastic) and it had got so hot that just by picking it up it burned my hand so badly I needed to go to hospital. Unihertz couldn't have cared any less. They confirmed after I sent it back that it had short circuited and did nothing except eventually offer a replacement or refund (they originally offered me $20 - yes, twenty). Beware. Lots of features are great if they actually maintain and support them - but Unihertz don't. They're made to sell, not made to last.
I'm hear to echo your sentiment. Owner of a Jelly Star - I like the phone, but the customer service has never been pleasant, and software updates as well.
I think this is the first time I've ever heard a video say "the flashing lights are over". I'm not epileptic or anything, but I did notice and appreciate that little detail. Shout out JRE for not just caring about accessibility, but actually understanding how to do it right.
my wife has siezures, and was next to me as i was watching this, and was allready in a sensitive state, so i Super appreciate when people do this, it Really does matter.
I own this as a daily driver, as I am a driver. The battery lasts 2 (literally 48 hours) whole days when I am using like 10+ delivery apps with all the "radios" GPS, WiFi with scanning , blue tooth. Adaptive brightness, navigating, and streaming RUclips or music, with the fan on Max for 6 hour increments ....and can still get about an hour or so of projection life when all that is done and it's at 20 percent 🤣🤣🤣🤣Etc.... just for the quick charger to have it to a .... 30-50% if I turn it off or leave it alone..... It charges and maintains a charge while projecting. as long as you aren't in a hot environment (bathroom with the heater (90°f+) and shower on akin to makeshift sauna) it doesn't overheat during projection.... And on normal usage days..... It can last approximately 7 literal full days of day and night, urban city (ATL) usage , and approx 14 literal days of remote or extremely rural (hermit style) living .... All of this is before I even touch the power saving mode 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤓🍊🌳. Follow my twitch @just_citruz ijs you made it this far 😁🥂 I also managed to break my first one during the first 2 months of owning it.... It slipped outta my pocket while unloading a delivery and fell (glass) screen first on a jagged rock style curb.... Literal shards and slivers of glass would flake off.... Get the *insert 3rd party warranty* as the Amazon one saved me. I also bought a heavy duty finger ring... (The first ones broke and I have to use "mounting adhesive tape" instead of the adhesive they come with) And a Paracord professional camera wrist strap as it is literally 2 lbs....
"An ULEFONE Tank 3 Pro OWNER STARTER PACK": cargo shorts, multi-pocket jacket, long red beard/mustache. fishing rod, soldering tools, refurbished analogue radio, a wrench, an old motorcycle
yeah, i would love to have an entire brick, unironically. of course, i didn't have to jam it into a purse, or wear jeans with fake pockets, either 😅 but i don't think this phone is it, either way
The part whenever he says "when apple invents this" or "apple will probably invent this in the future" always cracks me up😂😂. This dude probably has beef with the iphone
My Motorola Z2 Play from several years ago had a snap on projector module along with other modules you could add for different functionalities. Too bad they abandoned the concept.
I bought one around an year ago. The best phone I ever had. I dropped it about a hundred times and nothing. Also put a Sandisk 2TB MicroSD and stored a ton of movies on it to watch while camping. Only complain is that the charging brick died after 7-8 months. If you don't mind caring a brick in your pocket and having Mid-Range performance I recomend this phone. It has a lot of features you don't see on normal phones any more and about 4 days worth of battery for a heavy user. Im curious to see what the Tank 4 will be like
@pw9404 I dropped the phone in water a few times while at work. Nothing serious, only about 50 cm deep and for about 10 min at most, but there is no damage what so ever to the phone or projector. I think it can withstand way more abuse than this when it comes to water due to the gasket but I never personally "tested it"
I honestly love that companies are still out there making these wild phones with features that nobody would even think to ask for. The fact that this appears to be pretty user-serviceable, or at least serviceable, is awesome as well.
The E-ink actually makes sense for this. E-ink on a normal phone would suck when you want to watch a video. But if you're watching a video on the screen of this thing and not using the projector, you're an id10t.
The fact this phone is like half the price of flagships, carries every possible feature shy of an integrated tent, and is just generally cool, is honestly insane. I'm genuinely looking at that considering it for my upgrade. Sure I don't need most of those features but damn I wouldn't be replacing my phone for atleast a decade that's for sure lol. No way i'd need worry about battery life loss when it's that insane.
The only issue here is poor Android support. It has Android 14 with March 2024 sec patches and it's higly unlikely to go anything higher. System is pretty stable though, no issues with missing notifications or things like that.
normal smartphone market pretty much saturated -- bring on the oddballs and innovations! this is really awesome! oh dear, poor LG gonna have to restart their mobile division again
The LG v20 could've been great but it had a bunch of problems. Was still cool when it worked. Would be nice if they would've done better and kept going
My V20 is still hanging on, though I did reimage it with LineageOS. Still haven't found a suitable replacement that includes dual physical SIMs + Micro SD, headphone jack, Hi-Fi DAC, _and_ replaceable battery ... the Tank comes close feature-wise, but I could do without the projector in favor of toolless battery swaps.
@doujinflip the main issue with mine was I liked to use the dual screen and the USBC wore out quickly. Think I replaced it twice with it needing another B4 I have up on the phone
@whitepumpkinenthusiast27 No it won't, unless you wear huge pants. I'm 130 pounds, and my RedMagic 10 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max can barely fit in my pocket.
Yeah ...self defence in apocalypse...in Africa they use this for hunting , in India for digging in dirt , in UK for smashing windows to steal alcohol , even in Dubai use this phone for diving in ocean after a loosing millions at the casino . Since I bought this phone nobody called me so I'm happy to use it for other things in my house ...that door knob was beyond repair .....
@JerryRigEverythingI won't diminish the greatness that is Casio's watch, but the best watch on the planet is an Omega Seamaster or Speedmaster. Omega watches are the few that can survive the vacuum of space. They are used by astronauts on space stations and on the moon.
@kingzach74 wouldn't that specifically make those the best watches OFF the planet? 😂If we start factoring in value the Casio will absolutely mog an Omega, on earth anyway.
I think this is the first phone I've seen you tear down that could actually be reassembled. It's nice to see something that can have parts removed and replaced.
My dad has been rocking the Tank 2 for over a year now. Biggest gripe is the weight and the size. He gets nearly 3 days of battery life with watching a movie here and there. Awesome phone with okay UI and really cool features
I have the tank 2. yes it's really heavy, if I scroll too long my wrist starts to hurt. I currently have 3 days 17 hrs off the charger and 24hrs and 20 mins screen on time with 35% left.
@infidelgaming1670 I live where there is no lights for probably 15 miles. If it's a new moon I can see around 100ft and if it's a full moon it looks like daytime
For real. Cargo pants are literally all I wear, other than suits. They are the most versatile and comfortable clothing available. I couldn't care less if people think they are stylish or not.
Additional comment for the addressing no OIS on the cameras. Heavy machinery tends to make you vibrate very aggressively and is known for killing ois on many phones. So it isn't included for vibration resistance
With bezels this big, there really shouldn't be an in screen camera. Don't permanently cut a hole into everything the phone shows when there's room to put the camera on the side
@vadim6385 that could be it, it just seems weird to have a rugged smartphone have a hole punch camera, something only used to make phone bezels smaller
Don't know, looks like the bezels are mostly because the protective casing, not extra space for the internal components like older phones. So leaving out space in the armour to accommodate a camera would not be ideal.
@blakeellis9171 this is purely a economic reason, this phone is not brought out for its design but for its durability. this screen is made abundantly hence its cheapest to get for this factory. That is the only reason.
Nice to see a phone that nobody in their right mind would put a case on. It does bother me that I get a super thin phone and immediately have to protect not only the screen but the sides and back, making the phone that much larger and thicker.
xa2 lived for about 5 years and still got not a scratch, meanwile, one year old 1V5 got a very deep scratch on the display by the second or third day and not even after first day drop from 1.89m height, but when i pulled this thing down from the pocket, lol
Considering some old 20kmah power banks were this size, this phone is actually amazing. I really hope this thing becomes popular because the next iterations would be awesome.
I got one of these and was happy to see your teardown. As a purchaser of weird chinese phones I always get one with a huge battery. I use accubattery app and can report that the actual capacity in the wild is nearly 21000 mAh. This one replaced a blackview that I had to replace the charging board on twice. So far so good, its only been about four months. When i first used it, there was a software update so that is better than nothing. The real feature of the projector is the automatic keystone correction. When you lay it at an angle it will fix the image after a few seconds. Brought it to a theater before the real show started and projected on to the theater screen. It worked pretty well considering how small the lightsource is. My next goal is to get a 1tb sd card and load it up with content in case of the apocalypse (no cell or wifi). Interestingly when it was originally manufactured it had red and blue flashing lights with a siren mode which got nerfed upon distribution. Mine has the red and blue LED sections but i havent gotten them to light up. Overall its a super sweet pocket brick and worth every penny. When you consider buying the latest iPhone this thing is half the price for at least 10 times the value.
If you can find a cheap Chinese 1tb card that isn’t faked, I would be very impressed. I’m afraid to even buy a namebrand one because they are so good at faking them
@eps-nx8zgdefinitely true the screen would crack. But for the fan I use an air compressor to blow it out every once in a while. I should also say the intake and exhaust ports have the outside grill, another mesh grill inside, then a black mesh filter material so I doubt any dust getting in there is big enough to do damage to the fan
I'm so with you on being tired of the major companies lollygagging around and not incorporating anything new or expensive into their boring phones. They've been coasting on marginal improvements for so long. NOTE TO COMPANIES: REMOVING FEATURES DOES NOT COUNT AS IMPROVING SOMETHING, never take my ports away from me.
Awesome that you checked this phone out... However, there is an even bigger boi on the market now, the Oukitel WP100 Titan with a massive 33000mAh battery... well and the exact same projector in it
i know these are meant to be reasonably simple vids but I'd love to see at least some water resistance tests. Love the snark, stay strong america, stay loving
‘the flashing lights are over.’ I’m not epileptic, but that is dope-and amazing. Jerry for not just mentioning accessibility, but actually understanding how to incorporate itwell. That small moment shows real care, and it honestly hit harder than all the specs combined
So happy to have clicked on the video. This is the type of content for which we have subscribed to this channel. Great teardown & amazing technology especially those little prisms, lenses & mirrors 🤩
OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) may be difficult for such devices where they are tested for MIL grade specifications. Especially, these devices have to go through stringent Vibration tests, where OIS may get damaged in my opinion
My job is repairing heavy equipment, thru rain storms, dust storms, and setting in the direct sun this phone hasn't let me down despite being covered in gasoline, diesel, engine oil, hydraulic oil, and even straight grease. I just rinse it in the sink when I go home
I hate how these VPN companies love talking about being able to watch region restricted videos.... except most companies like netflix/prime/disney blocks you from doing that because they KNOW most VPN server ip's. So this shit is pointless.

As a tank 3 pro fan I’d prefer it to also come with a gun for ”protection”.
The QR code from the projector worked!😂
Jerry...just another greedy CEO...
How much u pay for phone
Price goes fromm 200 to 800 so i'm confused AF
Can believe you liked your own comment 😂. I wish you’d leave politics out of your videos.
You failed to mention that it can be used for self defense.
Self defense brick, a classic.
For that we have NOKIA
They'll have suspicious piles of these nowhere near construction sites
Self defense? Given the size of that thing, I'd recon it would qualify as a weapon of mass destruction
3310!
Imagine lying in bed in your bunker doomscrolling, and this thing drops on your face
I feel the pain
RIP
Already happen to me
Permanent Brain Damage In A Moments Notice
you wouldn't remember it happening cuz it would knock you out instantly lol
The fact that it automatically scales the image on the wall symmetrical is insane. This whole phone is insane.
What do you mean? All would do that, or not?
That's how modern projectors work if you set it up at the optimal angle to minimize distortion
I think the term which you are looking for is keystone correction. 👍
The auto keystone correction works amazingly well.

Points at projector
"When Apple invents one of these things, people are going to lose their minds"
Hes not wrong
Is what we waiting for
Yep, they were praised for borderless while Xiaomi did it first for example.
Apple just "invented" information about time left to full battery on screen. Android had this for years. I feel sorry for apple users being ripped off in every single way.
we have been using projectors in phones for 10 years already
That attempt to bend the phone was hilarious :D its ridiculously thick...
That's what she said
@CastorRabbit hurr durr only ten years late
@gfuentes8449 says the guy using "hurr durr"
😅
it’s thicc
Kudos to the phone makers. It looks complex when it comes to design but is very well made. Loved the projector thing on it.
Totally. I Remember a Phone from quite a few years ago that had a projector. It almost makes sense for such a phone but is such a cool feature :D
@lavarsch u mean the galaxy beam . yeah it was a cool phone ngl but the battery died out too fast
@ Absolutely! It’s quite refreshing to see something new - although not very practical to use, but hey, at least they’re not sticking to that boring design of some other flagships.😁
@anishpitale3162 for less than 1 year of software updates.
@TYP1C1L Motorola had a projector snap-on for the Moto Z series phones with "Motomods" as well, but the Beam and the Beam 2 decimated their batteries, the motomod had an extra battery in it iirc so it lasted longer...but still not great.
A worthy opponent to nokia 3310
3310 laughs in the face of destruction. It has no rival. Only thing aliens will find long after humans are gone is just 3310, I still have mine from 23 years ago and still works. Shame buying new frames is more difficult now and who doesn't like snake 😂😂😂
😂 No way
This and the Kyocera DuraForce XD from 2015
I still have one and it works hahaha I play snake on it from time to time it will last another 20 years as long as can get batterys haha
@ethanmccormack9561this thing would probably absolutely destroy nokia
+Huge Battery
+No Glue holding it together
+Projector
+Decent Phone specs
+Headphone Jack=
I almost want this phone
“Decent phone specs?”
Homie, this thing’s got 36GB of RAM on an Octa-core CPU.
@the_knotsoSays 16 and 18gb on their website
@the_knotso is that a lot?
@rohanofelvenpower5566 yeah, if it were on a PC, those specs would be high mid range. The average CPU only has six cores, and the average prebuilt only comes with 8 GB of RAM
How does this compare to the ulefone armor 34+ pro ?
As a former owner of 3 different Unihertz phones, I need to mention that their software update policy used to be less than 12 months - the Jelly 2 got three updates, and that was it. The Jelly Star got even fewer I think. This may have changed but this leaves the phones dangerously vulnerable. I also had my Unihertz Jelly Star phone short circuit randomly (it wasn't even charging - I could just smell burning plastic) and it had got so hot that just by picking it up it burned my hand so badly I needed to go to hospital. Unihertz couldn't have cared any less. They confirmed after I sent it back that it had short circuited and did nothing except eventually offer a replacement or refund (they originally offered me $20 - yes, twenty). Beware.
Lots of features are great if they actually maintain and support them - but Unihertz don't.
They're made to sell, not made to last.
Thanks for commenting this. I really wanted one until I read this.
I'm hear to echo your sentiment. Owner of a Jelly Star - I like the phone, but the customer service has never been pleasant, and software updates as well.

@prgnify you can edit your original comment if you don't want to write a second comment to "correct" your first.
Best regards.
@ I know, but I always distrust comments tagged as (edited), so I prefer not to do it
I think this is the first time I've ever heard a video say "the flashing lights are over". I'm not epileptic or anything, but I did notice and appreciate that little detail. Shout out JRE for not just caring about accessibility, but actually understanding how to do it right.
This should be standard. Super cool. LTT does this as well with a warning at the start and a bell sound at the end
I used to date someone with epilepsy, it was a very nice touch.
I concur
my wife has siezures, and was next to me as i was watching this, and was allready in a sensitive state, so i Super appreciate when people do this, it Really does matter.
I wanted to comment the same thing, I absolutely agree.
Let’s just take a moment to appreciate that projector and its prisms, madness that it’s been created so small
That projector is probably better than the one in my high school
So cool
Honestly just amazing!
@yuxuanxu-j7q right!
This needs to be a case not a phone
Okay IR night vision should be in all flagship phones
HD Projector + 23K Mah battery + if you add a bluetooth gaming controler = Ultimate mobile gaming set up 🔥
Projector is not hd, its only
854x480 - FWVGA
Still decent for mobile phone.
@martinbelas2291 😂 you never been to the movies huh? Imax? Just saying..
As an owner that has it as a daily driver....... Yes!!!! I also do steam link and even got a USB hub and adapters for my switch to stream to it.
I own this as a daily driver, as I am a driver. The battery lasts 2 (literally 48 hours) whole days when I am using like 10+ delivery apps with all the "radios" GPS, WiFi with scanning , blue tooth.

If it use dimensity 9000+ series it will be overkill
im actually a massive fan of big phones, the amount of tech you can cram into it nowadays is crazy
Same
"An ULEFONE Tank 3 Pro OWNER STARTER PACK": cargo shorts, multi-pocket jacket, long red beard/mustache. fishing rod, soldering tools, refurbished analogue radio, a wrench, an old motorcycle
This would be a great phone for camping and being out in the wilderness, definitely ain't no city phone.
yeah, i would love to have an entire brick, unironically. of course, i didn't have to jam it into a purse, or wear jeans with fake pockets, either 😅 but i don't think this phone is it, either way
Not a fan of this huge size, however I would like it if my iPhone was 2x thicker for better grip and all that space could be used for more battery
The new Nokia brick is back
Lol innit?
Sadly, the company has a rep for _not_ being reliable.
A worthy descendant 😂

@Mr.Marblesdude this is the perfect man phone

didn'tknow that thas cool to add there is galaxy beam too@FastSS02
0:20 Can't wait to see the bend test on this one.
At this point it's better to test for any flex at all
6:44 bro.
😂
You don't break this phone, this phone breaks you
Just go to 6:49 the astroid i wish to see that 😂😂😂
The fact this phone is less than $600 is insane
I cant. The scraping sounds and abuse is killing me lol. 😂
@bookworm8415 right it's just immature not like a smart adult doing a good review breaking it extra like a toddler with a toy
@warnpain9733 it just hurts seeing such a nice phone get destroyed
@DennanYeah. Especially for those of us that could NEVER afford a phone like this!!!
It's painful. But this is what he does on every phone. I think he was the kid that loved to squish bugs when he was young
Yeah, let’s just make a whole fucking video of fingernails on chalkboards
Naturally I wanted to skip the ad-part but the projector made me watch it
That was the goal hahaha
I just tried to watch the ad, but my vanced app didn't let me do that 😂
Me too
@mt_0712I have it set to skip ads only once specifically for situations like these
the projector had already been shown so i just skipped it anyway
lying on bed browsing on your brick, just hits different
"hits different" 🥁
I see what you did there😁
هههههههههههههههههههه🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lmao
Why stare at the screen? Just project what you are watching onto the ceiling.
7:01 Not sure it would survive a direct hit from a turn of the millennium Nokia. Those things are scary.
This is probably the only tech item that actually deserves the “built like a tank “ tagline
I bought one around an year ago. The best phone I ever had. I dropped it about a hundred times and nothing. Also put a Sandisk 2TB MicroSD and stored a ton of movies on it to watch while camping. Only complain is that the charging brick died after 7-8 months. If you don't mind caring a brick in your pocket and having Mid-Range performance I recomend this phone. It has a lot of features you don't see on normal phones any more and about 4 days worth of battery for a heavy user.
Im curious to see what the Tank 4 will be like
when you drop a phone that has tank in it's name you don't worry about the phone, you ask if the floor is okay...
How’s the waterproofing on it? If you have “tested” at all.
@pw9404 I dropped the phone in water a few times while at work. Nothing serious, only about 50 cm deep and for about 10 min at most, but there is no damage what so ever to the phone or projector. I think it can withstand way more abuse than this when it comes to water due to the gasket but I never personally "tested it"
To me it feels less like a daily carrier phone and more of an emergency device that’s good to take on *certain* trips.
The tank 4 will be an M1 abrams, with phone features on top.
hearing "scratches at level 6, with deeper grooves at a level 7" always cures my depression
Gorilla glass willgetbetterone day. Might have to hear 7 to 8
They finally updated to android 15!!
I honestly love that companies are still out there making these wild phones with features that nobody would even think to ask for. The fact that this appears to be pretty user-serviceable, or at least serviceable, is awesome as well.
FINALLY, they put an IR blaster and a projector in a phone! I want this!
The ir blaster is really great, it does what you think it does and more
Poor mans nvg hell yeah😂
Glad you love it - it’s built for folks just like you!😄
They had ir blasters in phones years ago
Now if they made a version with an e-ink display, it would be perfect for long duration survival camping, emergency phone, or offgrid living.
I have one it already goes for 9 days on minimal use
@stpdsaucepan2558 If it was E-ink it would go for 9 months on minimal use :D
you know we could toggle B&W display on every phone!!
@kishananuraag not the same as e-ink
The E-ink actually makes sense for this. E-ink on a normal phone would suck when you want to watch a video. But if you're watching a video on the screen of this thing and not using the projector, you're an id10t.
the auxiliary jack is back!

They took a bunch of things phones these days were missing, plus additional perks, and shoved it into this frame. Genius. 👏
The fact this phone is like half the price of flagships, carries every possible feature shy of an integrated tent, and is just generally cool, is honestly insane.
I'm genuinely looking at that considering it for my upgrade. Sure I don't need most of those features but damn I wouldn't be replacing my phone for atleast a decade that's for sure lol. No way i'd need worry about battery life loss when it's that insane.
Projector phone!
This phone is crazy! I've been thinking a lot about buying slim phones! Thin phones are fragile and fiddly.
This phone surprised me!
Sadly there are barely any firmware updates
I was thinking I'd love this phone but I dont think I have any pants that could fit it in a pocket easy. I'd have to carry a fannypack for this tank.
@sloep Yup, and i don't think there will be much custom ROM development for it :/
The only issue here is poor Android support. It has Android 14 with March 2024 sec patches and it's higly unlikely to go anything higher. System is pretty stable though, no issues with missing notifications or things like that.
It better have satellite connectivity or else it’s completely useless in an actual disaster
On god, i was thinking the same thing! What good is such an expensive toy if it cant connect to satellites.
no need for an apocalypse you can use your own private network except if you want to talk with other people which seems a bad idea
Tesla need to build something similar.... that can also be use as little generator backup feature would be awesome 😂
normal smartphone market pretty much saturated -- bring on the oddballs and innovations!
this is really awesome!
oh dear, poor LG gonna have to restart their mobile division again
The LG v20 could've been great but it had a bunch of problems. Was still cool when it worked. Would be nice if they would've done better and kept going
My V20 is still hanging on, though I did reimage it with LineageOS. Still haven't found a suitable replacement that includes dual physical SIMs + Micro SD, headphone jack, Hi-Fi DAC, _and_ replaceable battery ... the Tank comes close feature-wise, but I could do without the projector in favor of toolless battery swaps.
@doujinflip you might want to look at different rugged phones.
Though removable batteries really seem to be a thing of the past
@doujinflip the main issue with mine was I liked to use the dual screen and the USBC wore out quickly.
Think I replaced it twice with it needing another B4 I have up on the phone
I had Samsung galaxy beam some years ago and it was one of my best phones. It had pico projector, Removable battery and headphone jack
i still have one of those. They are so cool
@mutestarling Yes they were. And also with high quality tech inside. SD card slot
Me: I want it
My pocket: can't handle it 😭
Time to wear a phany pack
I feel like this phone would be best suited to a holster, on a sturdy belt. 😂 It should come with one, honestly.
men's pockets might 😭
@whitepumpkinenthusiast27 No it won't, unless you wear huge pants. I'm 130 pounds, and my RedMagic 10 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max can barely fit in my pocket.
Yeah ...self defence in apocalypse...in Africa they use this for hunting , in India for digging in dirt , in UK for smashing windows to steal alcohol , even in Dubai use this phone for diving in ocean after a loosing millions at the casino .
Since I bought this phone nobody called me so I'm happy to use it for other things in my house ...that door knob was beyond repair .....
Ah yes, all of the well known countries including Africa...
Racist much?
@benja1378 He didn't even say anything racist. If you want to hear some real racism, specially regarding africans, just let me know :-)
11:16 is that thermal paste used as a finger hat?
10:40 of course he as a F91W.
Best watch on the planet
@JerryRigEverythingI won't diminish the greatness that is Casio's watch, but the best watch on the planet is an Omega Seamaster or Speedmaster.
Omega watches are the few that can survive the vacuum of space. They are used by astronauts on space stations and on the moon.
@kingzach74 wouldn't that specifically make those the best watches OFF the planet? 😂If we start factoring in value the Casio will absolutely mog an Omega, on earth anyway.
Very solid watch. I've used them basically my entire life
@JerryRigEverythingcasio royale*
I think this is the first phone I've seen you tear down that could actually be reassembled. It's nice to see something that can have parts removed and replaced.
This is the first phone to impress me in almost 10 years. I'd pay hundreds of dollars extra for this build quality on a more ordinary phone.
This was one of the best videos you did. it is always boring these days about smartphones. this was very entertaining !! keep finding these phones!
One of the best videos? That is *crazy* 😅 Just kidding! Lol
I like unihertz his crazy mind to put a projector inside the phone. So thats why i said it . @Jroddude
There is still so much innovation that can be done and this phone is an example of that. Only if companies actually wanted to do it 😕
Does the projected image auto-adjust at 3:15? That's impressive...
Literally surprised me 😳
Sure does! ( I have this phone)
How far (feet)can get from the projector with good quality @zenerdiode9000
I was just about to say something about that. That's really cool
I feel every scratch he makes on that phone, and it hurts me physically.
My dad has been rocking the Tank 2 for over a year now. Biggest gripe is the weight and the size. He gets nearly 3 days of battery life with watching a movie here and there. Awesome phone with okay UI and really cool features
I have the tank 2. yes it's really heavy, if I scroll too long my wrist starts to hurt. I currently have 3 days 17 hrs off the charger and 24hrs and 20 mins screen on time with 35% left.
I have the tank 3 while my coworker has the tank 2. The tank 3 is definitely thicker and weighs more
@zenerdiode9000 hows the range (distance) for IR photos?
@infidelgaming1670 I live where there is no lights for probably 15 miles. If it's a new moon I can see around 100ft and if it's a full moon it looks like daytime
mine lasts a week without a sim card. it's insane. my regular phone barely makes it 12 hours
3:52. Bro really hit us with the zootopia 😂
The sponsored ad worth to watch
Also was like oh sh¡t I cant show this for too long. Lol
I love anytime you throw out "when Apple invents this" lol
Yea knowing the difference between invention and innovation is hard for some people.
For a true phone for the apocalypse, you could replace the parts with scraps.
Thank you for the flashing light warning and thank you for saying when it stopped
3:52 this is what android is doing to apple XD
Tank 4 with Amoled screen is on its way, soon😎
The way you kept on casually scratching every part of the phone with the knife feels absolutely savage 💀
5:10 what do you mean bring back cargo pants? I never noticed they went out of fashion.
For real. Cargo pants are literally all I wear, other than suits. They are the most versatile and comfortable clothing available. I couldn't care less if people think they are stylish or not.
They're arguably more popular now than ever too
thats 5:20 not 5:10
Additional comment for the addressing no OIS on the cameras. Heavy machinery tends to make you vibrate very aggressively and is known for killing ois on many phones. So it isn't included for vibration resistance
It's also only really necessary for video. OIS is not necessary for stills unless your doing long exposure
With bezels this big, there really shouldn't be an in screen camera. Don't permanently cut a hole into everything the phone shows when there's room to put the camera on the side
I guess they didn't design the display themselves, probably bought it from an external OEM
@vadim6385 that could be it, it just seems weird to have a rugged smartphone have a hole punch camera, something only used to make phone bezels smaller
Don't know, looks like the bezels are mostly because the protective casing, not extra space for the internal components like older phones. So leaving out space in the armour to accommodate a camera would not be ideal.
@blakeellis9171 this is purely a economic reason, this phone is not brought out for its design but for its durability. this screen is made abundantly hence its cheapest to get for this factory. That is the only reason.
The best part of the phone is the projector
4:47 that's great actually.
Nice to see a phone that nobody in their right mind would put a case on. It does bother me that I get a super thin phone and immediately have to protect not only the screen but the sides and back, making the phone that much larger and thicker.
xa2 lived for about 5 years and still got not a scratch, meanwile, one year old 1V5 got a very deep scratch on the display by the second or third day and not even after first day drop from 1.89m height, but when i pulled this thing down from the pocket, lol
True!
giggling to myself thinking of the custom otter box for no reason
@semperinumbra 🤣🤣🤣
@semperinumbra have to be one of those with the belt clip cover. Comes with an extra pair of suspenders to offset the extra weight.
Can we have a video of you re-assembling the same..
& Hopefully bringing it all to life..
3:51 did you really have to put that 🤨
It's apple nature !
Hell yeah he did, this dude is awesome i love how he is so…. Idk the word man
Considering some old 20kmah power banks were this size, this phone is actually amazing. I really hope this thing becomes popular because the next iterations would be awesome.
I got one of these and was happy to see your teardown. As a purchaser of weird chinese phones I always get one with a huge battery.
I use accubattery app and can report that the actual capacity in the wild is nearly 21000 mAh.
This one replaced a blackview that I had to replace the charging board on twice.
So far so good, its only been about four months. When i first used it, there was a software update so that is better than nothing.
The real feature of the projector is the automatic keystone correction. When you lay it at an angle it will fix the image after a few seconds.
Brought it to a theater before the real show started and projected on to the theater screen. It worked pretty well considering how small the lightsource is.
My next goal is to get a 1tb sd card and load it up with content in case of the apocalypse (no cell or wifi).
Interestingly when it was originally manufactured it had red and blue flashing lights with a siren mode which got nerfed upon distribution. Mine has the red and blue LED sections but i havent gotten them to light up.
Overall its a super sweet pocket brick and worth every penny.
When you consider buying the latest iPhone this thing is half the price for at least 10 times the value.
If you can find a cheap Chinese 1tb card that isn’t faked, I would be very impressed. I’m afraid to even buy a namebrand one because they are so good at faking them
3:52 What are those rhinos doing? Ahh yes, practicing for cheerleading.
The reason it’s called the tank 3 is because it’s thicker than 3 tanks
Farking kool! Always wondered why phones didn’t have projectors in them. Turns out you need all that cooling.
Finally someone made a phone for jerry😅
Really hope these products catch on and receive the support they need so that these true innovations doesn't stop
True
Apocalypse phone, for all that electricity, mobile service and internet available during an apocalypse.
0:36 this dude knows something we don't know
The phone could survive getting ran over by a truck but you know it can't survive Jerry😭
if you ran over it with a trunk the screen would crack, and if you got dust in it the projector fan would break and it would overheat.
@eps-nx8zgdefinitely true the screen would crack. But for the fan I use an air compressor to blow it out every once in a while. I should also say the intake and exhaust ports have the outside grill, another mesh grill inside, then a black mesh filter material so I doubt any dust getting in there is big enough to do damage to the fan
9:30 massive? You know what else is massive? LOOOOO-
Put that craft knife away.!!!
I'm so with you on being tired of the major companies lollygagging around and not incorporating anything new or expensive into their boring phones. They've been coasting on marginal improvements for so long. NOTE TO COMPANIES: REMOVING FEATURES DOES NOT COUNT AS IMPROVING SOMETHING, never take my ports away from me.
Stop looking at the same 2 companies. There are a ton of companies absolutely killing it on tech.
@superstarr310 That's fair. I personally rely a lot on device interoperability and few platforms can offer that reliably.
@superstarr310 When Emperor Tim Cook does something, the rest of the sheep follow...
I'm pretty sure this is actually a work device repackaged to be a consumer phone.
It would be super cool to see projector tech in more mainstream devices in the future.
Awesome that you checked this phone out...
However, there is an even bigger boi on the market now, the Oukitel WP100 Titan with a massive 33000mAh battery... well and the exact same projector in it
Very cool phone, my coworker has one and loves it. Says the battery can last up to 2 days with heavy use (he is a driver)
I waited 6:46 for the bend test, knowing quite well it's not possible. Kudos for giving it a try.
thats a nice Powerbank with some Features.
i know these are meant to be reasonably simple vids but I'd love to see at least some water resistance tests. Love the snark, stay strong america, stay loving
I was really hoping you'd do the projector screen bit from Ace Ventrua
‘the flashing lights are over.’ I’m not epileptic, but that is dope-and amazing.
Jerry for not just mentioning accessibility, but actually understanding how to incorporate itwell. That small moment shows real care, and it honestly hit harder than all the specs combined
Hard agree :')
Yes it shows that not all popular people are assholes
I have an s24 ultra and when you said headphone jack a smarthings notification popped up. There listening
zack putting down the scratch test sticker then realizing it was on plastic, peeling it off and applying it again got me dying😂
First time I considered buying a second phone
So happy to have clicked on the video.
This is the type of content for which we have subscribed to this channel.
Great teardown & amazing technology especially those little prisms, lenses & mirrors 🤩
OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) may be difficult for such devices where they are tested for MIL grade specifications. Especially, these devices have to go through stringent Vibration tests, where OIS may get damaged in my opinion
😂😂😂😂😂😂 When APPLE invents when one of these things, people are gonna lose their minds ---EPIC ROAST🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Built for an apocalypse yet it includes a charger as if there would still be electricity during an apocalypse. 🤣
Nothing survives Jerry's test 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😅
Watchout, 2 rhinos
Seems like a phone that would be used in the military or some oil rigging jobs
I prefer to dis-cuss in privately.
My job is repairing heavy equipment, thru rain storms, dust storms, and setting in the direct sun this phone hasn't let me down despite being covered in gasoline, diesel, engine oil, hydraulic oil, and even straight grease. I just rinse it in the sink when I go home
@zenerdiode9000 nice lol. Seems like it knows its crowd
don't break the phone, send it to my house
Library in Kenya 😂lol maybe help them with irrigation system.. something useful.. so silly
Why is the max quality 480p?
I hate how these VPN companies love talking about being able to watch region restricted videos.... except most companies like netflix/prime/disney blocks you from doing that because they KNOW most VPN server ip's. So this shit is pointless.
Should worry about the fact that most VPN companies have been caught selling their subscribers browsing data
VPNs used to actually work until around a decade ago, the good old days
