The dead-pan sarcasm over this MAJESTIC specimen is just classic Dawid. Neko unlocking the phone with his paw was the cherry on top.
If you like him so much why don’t you marry him?
We need another Anna video. :)
What have you done with dawid where is he free him
You know Dawid too well...
@@AkashSingh-nc4guNot possible because Anna is there...
Finally Dawid found the rabbithole of WELCOME phones on Aliexpress.
Good luck on your future adventures in this space!
Connoisseur of Smoorez's fine art, I see. 😁
@@Mikoto-Misaka Can't wait for Dawid to discover the PP phone or the Ainol tablet
@@superwholocked7418gotta love the Ainol Spark™
My mum bought a similar thing from Wish a while back. When she told me I begged her to cancel the order but she was adamant it was a real high-end phone for £50 and she was just getting a brilliant bargain.
Needless to say it barely turned on and it spoofed the memory capacity.
Yeah, it’s immensely frustrating when parents (or anyone, really) refuse to listen to you because they just _must_ be right. Even more frustrating when it’s a field you know a lot about and you know for sure they don’t understand at all.
Older parents and tech. It’s like trying to convince a flat earther they don’t understand science. Head, meet brick wall.
@@archgirlThat's pretty much all due to the misconception that older people are wiser, more intelligent, etc. than younger people just because of age. Since older people have more "life experience", they must be correct about everything by default and there's no way they can be proven wrong by a younger person
Obviously there are quite a few cases where age does translate to experience etc, but when it comes to the age old scenario of 'mum who has no clue about technology', then chances are a younger person (e.g. their son/daughter) will know a fair amount more than her. Unfortunately, a lot of older people let the "I'm older = I know more than you" thing go to their heads way too much
@@TennysonPesco Yes, very true. Although, I will say, it’s not _always_ on account of age (although that’s certainly one of, if not _the,_ biggest excuses used).
Not exactly the same kind of situation, but I recently had a 30 year old woman insist that Linux isn’t suitable, in any meaning of the word, for any task whatsoever. Her reasoning? Because it doesn’t support the rootkit anti-cheat implemented by Riot in the game Valorant. Because Valorant won’t work on Linux, Linux is completely incapable of doing anything at all, and nobody on Earth should use it for any reason whatsoever, no matter the use case. I was astonished, and highly amused. But that tends to be the kinds of things you frequently hear from those who don’t use it. I take no issue with those who don’t want to use Linux (for whatever reason), but it’s frustrating when you frequently hear that those no reason anybody should use it at all. Even more so because you frequently hear that kind of sentiment from those who have never even tried to use it, and from those who don’t even know enough about their own machine to tell you why Windows would be better.
@@TennysonPesco Not only that - a common theme in many of these scams is greed. Either by thinking they're getting an exceptional deal and pulling one over the seller (Hah, an iPhone 15 for $100? I'm robbing them blind!) or the sort of phone scammers that Kitboga et al. cover (Hah, this guy is putting more in my account? I'm robbing him blind!)
And of course Boomers are by far the most greedy generation to ever exist, so they are especially susceptible.
@@TennysonPesco Some of us are wiser in the Techverse but mostly it's those of us who have been involved with tech in some way, since we were children.
What is hilarious is even though that phone is cheap af they can still afford to include an inbox screen protector and charging cable and a 3.5 mm jack lol.
Welcome to the Scam that Apple has been running for most of its mobile phone producing existence.
China makes some great cheap phones. Redmi and Umidigi, for example. The latter of which has very solid, non-meme, 70-120$ phones with 10-30W chargers included. Just gotta keep jumping companies to save a bunch of money. First Huawei made great value phones, became huge, became overpriced like Samsung and Apple. Then it was Oneplus, then Xiomi.
@@Rspsand07 my mom recently bought one of those cheaps Umidigi phones, and compared to my sister's same price realme phone, it seems pretty garbage. It's insanely laggy and seems in quality more like the phone shown in this video. The realme one (C11 i think it is) seems pretty decent overall.
The phone was made in china for about £10. The screen protector and charging cable combined probably cost them no more than 50 pence to make.
Apple don't give you a screen protector or charging plug because they don't have to - their brand is big enough that they know people will buy their products without a plug or earphones, and won't refuse to buy them simply because there's no plug or earphones.
If a brand new mobile phone company came to the market however, and sold a brand new phone but sold it without a charger or earphones they might find their uptake isn't that great.
Yeah because those things are cheap.
"I can't download apps because of google not working"
Seems you forgot about loading apps from APK files that you load on your phone. This functionality alone makes old phones and tablets with old versions of Android still useful.
b, b, but that is bad because companies told me that's bad. What if virus !?
@@Gatorade69 that's where personal responsibility comes in.
Oh, wait, i forget that people hate that and want a nice safe bubble wrapped world.
Give me viruses or give me death.
lol.
A lot of Google apps refuse to work on old devices even when hacked in. They finally discontinued app support for my hacked Fire 7.
I'm really surprised he didn't think of that/go that route. That's also what most other people on RUclips do when "reviewing" weird/sketchy chinese android devices. There are a couple hardware info apps that let you see the real specs without needing a PC and there are also ways to find hidden apps and services. I saw a video where someone even found a hidden app that lets you change the displayed specs (as most of these devices use more or less identical hardware and the different variants, such as storage capacity, are set through an app at the factory). It's also interesting to see if there's anything obviously sketchy running on such a device, like maybe a nondescript system app with many/all permissions that could potentially be spyware.
they dropped support on lollipop
My main problem is that as a purple iPhone 14 Pro owner, I'm jealous that you managed to get the one purple titanium 15 Pro they made. The rest seems correct, my iPhone can't properly run Android either.
Its a Fake....
Damn, an MT6582, that brings back memories. My second phone had a MT6592, which was a 8 cores SoC and already massively better than the MT6582 (and there was also a MT6572, which was a dual-core). Even for the time, it wasn't great, but it was a decent mid-ish range phone, "the time" being around early 2014. On top of being a 10 years old SoC, I remember the Android 5.0 firmware being incredibly buggy on those, with unstable drivers and a lot of apps not working properly, Mediatek was just providing it as a base for the OEM, but no one ever modified it. It's crazy that they're still selling scam phone with the exact same hardware, you would think even the crappy SoC would've improved, but no.
I had a THL 5000 with a MediaTek MT6592T running kitkat, I've been running android so long now cant remember which dessert I started with I think my first android phone was Froyo
@@moorhen6156The Gobi desert ?
Actually had MT6572(2014) and MT6582(2015-17) phones from a crappy local brand from eastern Europe. I recognize the MOLY.WR8 baseband version at 7:00. I remember I got both phones rooted through Kingoroot. The only problem was that I couldn't find a working TWRP/CWM recovery for them, so I had to be careful with what I modified on them to avoid a soft brick. Still ended up running Xposed Framework with GravityBox and other cool modules. Both had pretty much stock Android 4.4 KitKat, so they were ok to use despite the low-end specs. By default they were pretty terrible phones but rooting made things a lot better in every way.
@@Gatorade69 lol I swear I pressed s twice
I had a Blu Studio 6.0 (wasn't my first second or third phone tbh) which had the MT6582 in it. Phone was barely more than just a cellphone when it launched... probably why it's barely a cellphone now with an updated casing lol. My first cellphone was either a Motorola i730 (nextel) or a Nokia 3310... I don't remember which one I had first lol
Good to see Neko is broadening his tech skills to include mobile devices.
1:03 to skip the ad.
Dawid clearly doesn't watch Smoorez or else he'd have known that the "fingerprint" sensor also works with your tongue, eye, vas deferans, taint, basically any skin.
Given that Neko can unlock that phone, the phone is now officially his
smoorez viewers know damn well it's a 1gb ram with 8gb storage and an mtk6580 soc with a 480p screen and a 2mp camera
My s21 does the gimmick fingerprint. What is actually happening is your face was recognized and the finger merely unlocks the screen.
The cat's paw had me rolling! 🤣🤣🤣
This was some next level sarcasm.. these are the types of videos that make your channel great!
And what did you expect from a $70 phone? It calls, texts, takes some sort of pictures for a price of an inexpensive dinner for two...
Must admit, I was waiting for you to slap a high end video card on it and try to game on it!
Wow, you got the brand new iPhone 15 Pro Max "Venereal disease" edition.
"Blair Witch quality video" is actually one of my favorite video qualities out there. It feels like you're using a VHS camera to record your camping trip! 😂
I was hoping to see if Dawid could get Half Life 2 running on it.
I don't know why but I really enjoy exploring the cheap products over the super expensive ones like this, much more interesting to see how they do so much with less.
Edit: +1 for cat, needs more
android 5 itself shouldn't be the issue with not being able to sign in, it's probably something else. I have signed into my account with an android 5 device in the beginning of this month. They probably didn't installed the google apps properly. Also you can just install apk files.
Dawid has started the deep and very economically unsustainable dive into the welcome phone rabbit hole
The cat paw unlock is definitely a feature.
Smoorez and David need a colab series on Welcome phones 😂
Why get shocked? It's 70usd.
Dawid always makes me laugh!
Hugh Jeffries has reviewed several of these, they're all basically the same phone with a different case.
I used an ancient iPhone 3gs (from 2009) until last year when the 3g network shutdown in the states. I feel like it would give that thing a run for its money. If Canadia still has 3g you'd get legit blue bubbles too.
Why did you torture yourself for that long
3g still works if you use a secondary carrier like Mint Mobile that uses the old towers from the big carriers
And of course a IPhone 15 Pro Max with that price would be fake even on AliExpress. If you want the real one one AliExpress you also have to pay almost 1000 euro.
I have the same phone and the actual specs of it are:
1gb of ram+15gb of virtual memory
16gb of rom
if you can't see these values is because they are overwritten in the firmware but i found them via pc testings
Why would you have that phone
because it's majestic!
@@xeon39688 Because it's almost as good as a real iphone, probably.
How did you test this?, my dad bought this and we need proof to return it
@@Vern7 for the rom i Remember that while using WinRAR android It said 12gb of rom instead 1tb, for ram when i did some thingss via PC It said that this device had about 1gb of ram so that leaves the other 15 as virtuale ram, then for the os It was Easy to identify that It was android 6.0 since It did lack certain functions in the settings
I haven’t laughed out loud so much in a while, great video!
I've owned 3 phones from aliexpress. All < $90 each , 2 are almost 4-5 years old (one sold) and no issues at all. That doesn't even pay the tax on an iphone
With those fake phones, sometimes you can use ADB to find hidden apps they use to set stats and stuff, then run them and edit it to even more ridiculous numbers and stuff. Like you can be "proud owner" of new Android 16 phone before Google even thought of making one. :-D Because they often leave those behind, they just aren't listed in Android. Also fingerprint sensor usually is just fake and anything triggering touch screen in sensor area will unlock it, fully counting on use never trying anything but registered finger. Same goes for other stuff too. Also you likely would have to use ADB or something to sideload apps, making sure they are compatible with actual Android version there. Since it can be that old.
I could see it being useful as a low budget prop for indie homemade movies and videos. It technically works and looks the part of a new phone at a glance.
Couldn't they just get the cast members to use their own real iPhones?
@@gummboote Not if the script included throwing the phone at a protagonist😊😊
Dawid Never fails to deliver top-tier sarcasm.
All this time I could have been monetizing my sarcasm
Cat unlocking the phone made my day
The worlds first 100% accurate under screen fingerprint sensor! Never fails!
False acceptance is a failure.
@@typingcat Sarcasm on the internet is dead.
the fingerprint reader obviously has "family" function and it knows you, your wife, and your cat's info. WAY ahead of you!
I demand more cat paw tests! :D
The sarcasm is legendary. I’d watch Dawid explain the process of paint drying.
When you put your cat's paw on the phone and it opened I could not stop laughing, Great Review!!
I absolutely LOST it at the cat-paw unlocking.🤣🤣🤣
why you keep calling it apple knowing its a fake iphone
sarcasm
@@eljojobinks9937 yeah i know but he says it allot lol
Should have saved your money and invested it in a good barber / hairstylist who really knows how to deal with nose hair.
try to install a custom boot rom and maybe it will still suck
5:35 maybe you could sideload the apps
Did those earbuds have an Air Canada logo on them?
Well done Dawid and Anna. Cant wait until the next one!
Omg the fingerprint unlock was hilarious, so happy you discovered that.
The notice on the box is amazing. Some layers forgot their medication. Look at that hodgepodge of things you need to know, before opening:
HD Voice will be available only if your service provider supports HD Voice service.
Android is a trademark of Google inc.
Rear camera self-timer function
The color was pretty nice. And... hmmm... that's the only positive thing I can think of about it.
the camera made me laugh, then dawid mentioned blair witch project and I actually became deeply infatuated with its low fi tendencies. If this wasn't probably an absolute horrorshow to pull footage off of it'd be fun to use just for that.
Loved the video, it was hilarious thank you for entertaining us.
man you could probably buy a gt-710 for that kind of money
The cat unlocking the phone was awesome! Well done funny stuff.
I had an MT6572 device (the dual core brother) back in 2014 up until early 2016. It ran android 4.2, and with root it had some margin for improvements, but I clearly remember AliExpress selling quad core devices for around 100/110 USD, like doogee, ulefone, elephone and so on. Even some cool Galaxy and iPhone clones had this chip, for around 150/200!
9 years later these have become disposable devices, if they weren't already when born. What awesome memories!
When Dawid Does Tech Sarcasm, Dawid really does tech sarcasm.. :D
5:38 "Someone throwing faeces on a bus" WTF Dawid, ROFL! 😂
You didn't get an apple you got a Pear.
The cats paw working is amazing
Charger, earphones and 3.5mm entry? Already better than any iphone... lol
The phone is so advanced, it reads your DNA to guess your other fingerprints and even your cat.
Fingerprint added to chinese records is probably a bonus feature. or maybe to the cat video database.
more of any ordered junk please !!! 🙂
nah the finger print sensor is actually too advance that it gathers all your biometric data of your family 😂
This is the type of specs you would expect to see on a free phone bundled with a minutes card at a gas station in the mid 2010s. Putting a scam name on it and selling it for money is viciously mean spirited.
Wait until Dawid finds out about sideloading.
You dont need to login to anywhere to install apps
Bro the cats paw unlocking the phone was the icing on the cake
Couldn’t you replace the internal chips with a new processor? The battery still works, and the case looks surprisingly nice-it might actually be worth salvaging!
Thumbed up at point of "even my cats paw worked" 🤣
I wonder if you can flash a modern Android version on this phone.
Not seen any of your videos before but really enjoyed that😂. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber 👍🏻😃
Lmao the oh wow oh this oh that exclamations made me laugh so hard 😂😂😂
Sarcasm level master pro !!! You rock Dawid keep it up ... Pssst... more prebuilds review
were you able to get apps from the apple store?
İm a simple Man. David uploads i watch and i like.
Dawid at his best,very funny video.
aliexpress is actually quite good for many things, its quite easy to find whats fake and whats not...
love your vids dawid :)
Yeah, exactly. I have been using AE a lot, and the only time I was scammed was when I got a "USB to HDMI" (output), instead of "HDMI to USB" (capture). The item's title alleged "HDMI to USB" but the description, which I did not read very carefully was actually describing "USB to HDMI", and that was the only option (not that it had two options which included "HDMI to USB"). I raised a complaint, and the seller refused to refund. AE sided with me and I got a full refund, and kept that "USB to HDMI". Since then, I read the descriptions carefully in order not to get scammed. There are obvious fake ones like $20 for 1TB SSD, and I kind of think people who buy those stuff are partially responsible for being scammed.
Just read reviews,every product i bought was great and still running ,like light for my bicycle, it shines like car headlight and can also be used as flashlight, its just crazy bright ,and last 5-6 hours on one charge on full and more then 10 hours on medium bright (which is still more bright then any other light for bicycle i saw) .
And during corona in 2020 post office in my city were not working or with giant delay so i did not receive stuff for months and aliexpress return me money for all the stuff i ordered then ,like more then 500$ worth,but when post office start working i recived all the stuff so basicly i got it all for free
@@dzonikg Then you should have reported that to AliExpress and repaid the prices. Otherwise, you stole the money from the sellers (because I am sure AliExpress did not pay the money to the sellers).
Oh cool, it has a "I caught bigfoot/aliens on video"-quality camera. Perfect for this day and age!
ohhh its a WELCOME device :,D
4:32 apartment is looking much cozier now without an entire youtube studio crammed inside lol
5:23 you can add a Google account in the settings maybe? If that works, the play store will automatically use it device wide
You can actually get useable phones from Blackview, Doogee and Umidigi for that kind of money (720p, Android 12, 4GB RAM, 64-128GB storage)
Definitely need to see more Neko shenanigans at the end of the vids 😄
Your cats paw unluck function seems like a gamechanger. 🤣
Excellent content as always
It's crazy that they get away with selling phones with fake specs. It's also crazy that some people don't even realize they are carrying portable chinese spyware in their pockets.
We are basically all carrying a spying device around with us. It's just a case of who is collecting the data.
Sorry to break it to you mate, your governments spying too
I saw years ago a phone that was this awesome. It was a BlackBerry Z30...with Android. Imagine that. But these makers are creative, what can I say.
Bringing your reply back from the dead...
Blackberry switched to Android like 5+ years ago... I almost bought one of those Z series phones because I loved my blackberry. That wasn't a fake phone... not sure where blackberry is now as I type this out, but they basically just make Android phones like everyone else. They did have a keyboard android phone for a while, who knows if they still offer one.
4:27 aww cute cat! Love cute cats 😻
@01:40 apple you spoil us lol
Next time perhaps you could try sideloading apps using apks just to test gaming performance and run benchmarks. Love the video!
7:08 and what's the problem with sideloading apps? It's not like they don't exist outside of google play.
"If you want to learn how to program apps for your own scam iPhone to sel . . ." I'm gonna stop you right there, you read my mind
Homie thinks it was a useful video, we are here just to see how bad it is 🤣
And brilliant never sponsored David again😂
Dawid is doing phones... quick, somebody, list a ridiculous PC on the Best Buy marketplace!
Face unlock probably work with the cat too!
At least it works as a burner phone, something basically cheap that just makes calls and texts without having to worry about dropping it down a sewer or having it renter the Earth's atmosphere after spacewalking on the ISS.
hi dawid
