 Linus Tech Tips at CES 2019 is brought to you by dbrand. The dbrand 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 full not pretty. Yeah, we all knew that wasn't gonna be pretty anyway. Then you go ahead 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 were 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 it at 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 multi-tasking mode. So obviously this is a bad example but I went to launch a game and I think it was looking for a data connection. It didn't work. It's okay. Don't don't. Oh, hey it did work. So here you can have a 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 zones 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 and the specs are great too. So Snapdragon 845 up to 8 gigs of RAM 512 gigs of storage. They're quoting six hours of screen time six hours of continuous use with a 3800 milliamp hour battery. Yeah that's right a 3800 milliamp hour battery and there's even one more cool thing that is kind of a wow why did nobody else ever think of this thing. You look at the front you go okay there's no room for a fingerprint sensor there obviously it's not in screen unfortunately at this time. You look at the back and 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 is 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 a what is it whatever it is like one in a million or one in a hundred thousand or whatever the chances are of an accidental fingerprint match. Now it's checking two fingerprints increasing the device's security pretty freaking 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 going to be the guys that are like huh what's that who cares and then there's going to be guys that are like yeah IR blasters yeah it's amazing. So if you're into it you're into it and if you're not you're not and I totally get it. But there's one thing that we should all be into our sponsor dbrand. The dbrand grip is their super grippy case that's basically Linus proof in terms of its drop resistance. It's got precision cutouts for all of your you know cameras touch sensors all that good stuff. And of course is customizable with a dbrand skin of your choice. Also on the dbrand website very very new is their prism screen protector. So that's got an included applicator that allows you to put it on perfectly every time. It's got shocking impact resistance and you guys can check out both of those things at the link in the video description. So thanks for watching don't miss any of our CES 2019 coverage you guys by making sure that you are subscribed to Linus Tech Tips. It's really responsive too especially compared to the foldable phone earlier. Whoo it's like fidget gyroscope screen switcher doodad.
