he Most Sensible Way to Kill the Notch - #Helpful Post

ech tips at CES 2019 is brought to

you by D brand the D brand grip case and

prism screen protector are available at

the link in the video description I'm

finally on hands with the Nubia X and I

gotta say I am really impressed by a lot

of aspects of this device given that

this is from a brand that I have

personally never actually been hands-on

with before so everyone's got a

different sort of concept for how we

move towards an all screen phone whether

it's a foldable device or a pop-up

selfie camera or a facial recognition

scanner or whatever the case may be

their solution is the one that I

actually personally think makes the most

sense with the technology we have today

they just went and put an OLED display

on the back of the phone so instead of

having to have a dedicated selfie camera

at all you just use your rear camera in

order to take a selfie you go ahead and

hit that selfie button and boom now

you're on the OLED screen on the back

ooh I'm in pretty mode you know what I'm

gonna go I'm gonna go full not pretty

yeah we all knew that wasn't gonna be

pretty anyway then you go ahead and flip

it back around and there it is now the

cool thing is that it would have been a

lot of added cost to put a 5.1 inch OLED

display on the back of the phone just

for the sake of taking selfies but

they've actually built some really

interesting other functionality into it

as well if you are into it for whatever

reason you can actually switch to it and

use it as the primary display of the

phone just by flipping it around you can

configure that to not happen

automatically though if you want so you

can put a add a gesture where you just

press these two buttons and it'll switch

it around or you can actually set it up

instead of in mirror mode to be in a

mode that they're calling multitasking

mode so obviously this is a bad example

but I went to lunch a game and I think

it was looking for a data connection it

didn't work it's okay don't go oh hey it

did work so here you can have the game

running on your primary screen and then

you can flip it back over and go yeah I

got a reply to a quick message but you

don't actually have to do that drag down

minimize your game whole thing and you

could use it for really like any number

of things that is an absolutely

incredible idea another thing that you

can do is you can configure it as an

additional input so you can set

zooms here that you can use as for

example this is also a gaming

application as triggers for firing a

weapon or whatever the case may be

that's pretty neat too

so as shocking as this feels to me it's

actually more than just a gimmick as far

as I can tell now I'm not crazy

impressed with the quality of the rear

camera so we're not necessarily solving

the problem of taking the best selfies

ever by putting the screen on the back

of this particular phone but the overall

fit and finish of this thing is just

surprisingly good in the specs are great

too so snapdragon 845 up to 8 gigs of

ram 512 gigs of storage they're quoting

6 hours of screen time 6 hours of

continuous use with a 3,800 milliamp

hour battery yeah that's right a 38

hundred million power battery and

there's even one more cool thing that is

kind of up oh hi oh hi did nobody else

ever think of this thing you look at the

front you go ok there's no room for a

fingerprint sensor there obviously it's

not in screen unfortunately at this time

if you look at the back you can go oh

well there's no fingerprint sensor there

either so they've done a side

fingerprint sensor like we've seen

I mean Sony's done that in the past

that's not particularly new but this is

new they put it on both sides so I

initially thought oh it's ambidextrous I

can do it this way or this way

and use my thumb every time but what

they're actually using it for us to

increase the security of the device so

it now checks not just one fingerprint

but two fingerprints so that you can

instead of having it what is it whatever

it is like one in a million or 1 in

100,000 or whatever the chances are of

an accidental fingerprint match now it's

checking two fingerprints increasing the

device's security pretty freakin sick

finally we've got a feature that's less

futuristic and more of a throwback but

definitely one I'm happy to see it's got

an IR blaster on it hell yeah

so there's gonna be the guys that are

like huh what's that who cares and then

there's gonna be you guys that are like

it's amazing so if you're into it you're

into it and if you're not you know and I

totally get it but there's one thing

that we should all be into our sponsor

deep rent the deep brand grip is they're

super grippy case that's basically Linus

proof in terms of its drop resistance

you know cameras touch sensors all that

deep brain skin of your choice also on
