I’m just saying. Y’all should just make a podcast already. These videos are basically just mini pods at this point. And I’m down for an hour of Matt and Austin just babbling about tech. Hell, talk about pencils and I’m hooked.
This is basically a podcast, since a lot are filmed to view these days. Only difference is you either have to pay for YT premium to listen with your screen off (I think), or you can just rip the audio to your device to listen to. If you're interested, my fave two ripping/downloading/converting -apps- programs are Kotato AVD Pro and VideoProc ConverterAI.
Phones like the "CMF Phone 1" need to make up a new category of modular hardware phones, along side standard, fold and flip. A modular phone category for the tinkerers and DIY'ers would create all kinds of fun phones we haven't seen in a long time. Google had it right all those years ago with Project Ara.
I agree that modular phones need to be a thing. I was so excited to think that I could add memory or upgrade the camera... And crushed when I found out the project got cancelled.
Try a Samsung 2024 a15 5g. It actually has a 3.5 mm jack. And it's a pretty darn good phone for $160 Canadian. The 3.5 mm jack was a must have for me. I hook it up to my Vox amp and computer speakers in the garage working on the car.
That's absolutely correct and my trade-off is using the thinner Aramid/Carbon Fiber thin cases so it's the best of both worlds. But yeah, we all don't have the ability to just get a new phone when one breaks.
Not really. Phones are pretty durable these days. I have been using my iPhone 14 Pro without a case since launch, so almost 2 full years now. I've dropped it plenty and it's never cracked or shattered. Screen is a little scratched and there are some very minor nicks, but it's still in great shape overall.
I'm looking at you, people who get transparent cases for their phones so you can put any stickers you want in them and change them anytime you want. (I do that.)
Something that is really important to note when considering that this phone is not meant for the US market, is that it is missing band support for the US in such a high degree that 5G is not supported on two of the three major carriers, and the band list is limited enough that there is no guarantee you will get signal at all (depending on region) for any of the carriers here. It's a really cool phone but shouldn't be considered by anyone in the US market at this time.
The earlier days of smart phone (back when batteries could be removed, phones couldn't record video etc) was such a cool time. Companies were trying new things. But over time, phones all became the same black block. It's time we go back to the gimics, the experimentation etc.
i had a samsung galaxy young a few years back, i dropped it when i was walking in nature, found it again 10 days later after being out in the rain and one or two thunderstorms but i took it home, took it apart, put the battery and phone in rice for 24-hours and then reassenbled, it charged and worked, but the microphone was broken, i could hear them talking but they couldn't hear me
i love the idea of the nothing phone the entire astatic is no frills . I actually really like that. I also like the z flip for that compact nature in the pocket
"7 years of OS updates" is a load of garbage. Who's going to use their phones for 7 years? Who's using their *checks phones from 2017* Galaxy s8 today? Both on the software and, most importantly, hardware side, the device will have long been obsoleted. If by nothing else, the battery will be crap by then. I'd trade "waterproofing" for "water resistant" 11 times out of 10, if it meant I could replace my battery (also, 3.5mm jacks and micro SD slot, but that's another issue). But, THEN, the 'promised' 7 years of OS/Security update would mean something. But now, given the trajectory of hardware, GTFOH with that noise.
people that dont have a phone plan and do pre paid. people that don't want to pay an extra 30 to 50 a month. this shit cost like 1500 to 2000 for some of these new phones ......;.. I have the fold 4 and I don't plan on buying another phone for a while had it for 2 years now
This CMF cell phone is not really modular, its more like accessory swappable, based on some tear down videos, not even the battery is easily replaceable, real modular phones were the ones LG an Motorola made, swappable batteries, camera accessories, portable projectors, and so on.
I hate these bloated prices of phones. I'll rather be tracked by china and buy a cheap Chinese phone then paying more then my monthly salary for a phone. The most powerful thing I do on my phone is watch "This is" so for the average person the phone only lasting 3-4 years aren't that big of a problem.

i have all but one of the mods and that is that camera thing the photography one, i have the 360 camera, I use to play games on still also all mods worked for the ones i had which was the z1,z3,and z4
The Samsung galaxy S5 is ip67 certified so u can have a removable back and it's still water resistant I think people forget that about that given it was so long ago it released same with Samsung could always make more note phones by adding a SD support or even a 3.5 mm headphone jack
@@Night_blade258 It seems that only budget or "gaming" phones have one these days. I have an S23 and I'm hating how a DSP changes the sound of my IEMs and that if I use a split dongle to charge and listen to music the audio stops when the charging is finished or the power cable is disconnected.
@TheZoenGaming is true fortunately for me I'm using an older Android with a headphone jack. The tcl10 5g uw i won't upgrade unless my new phone has a headphone jack
So what you were saying about Parts availability and your phone lasting 7 years. When my polls for went down because of the screen issue there weren't any repair shops including Samsung direct that had the parts for that because the five was already out and they wanted everybody to upgrade to the five. Also when you were talking about 5G compatibility really from my experience good 5G compatibility is only in the cities. I don't live in the city I live in the country so no matter what carrier I use my 5G is abysmal
I had a Samsung a5 2017, it is still going, but mostly downhill. That's a seven year old phone. I just "upgraded" to a Samsung 2024 a15 5g. It's got all I need, with a 3.5 mm jack. Several years of android updates, a good looking phone with good graphics and three cameras. Brand new, $160 Canadian. Take that Apple!
I'm looking forward to getting my OnePlus 12. Feature wise, it's got everything I've ever wanted and more. Even an IR blaster, which I was surprised to learn about. Here's hoping it lives up to my expectations.
2 years of updates is great for a $200 phone! That gives you 2 years to save up $200 more dollars to buy the new CMF phone 3 when it launches! You don't need 7 years of updates, and nobody is going to be using any Zflip 6 7 YEARS later. The battery won't last that long anyhow.
Why are US creators praising this phone when it was literally designed for markets like India? In the US, the only carrier you can get 5G on it is T-Mobile, assuming you have N41 bands in your area. On AT&T, it only works with 4G. It does not support Verizon bands at all. The concept of the CMF phone is appealing, but I want a fair test of the phone in the USA on a USA network, something I will NEVER get because it CANNOT work here.
At this point I just tell most people to get a Pixel A series phone when they go on sale, or they can find a deal online, as hardware is good enough, and you get 5 to 7 years of updates.
Of course you don't care about having a case on your phone Matt. You make good money lol. Those of us that aren't so lucky don't have the luxury of showing off our phones. A broken phone could mean weeks to months without a working phone for some people. Cases are only optional to the well off.
Wow Austin can't even just review a great phone without taking over and ranting about Samsung? This rant should have been edited out. We need more videos with Matt and Kinsey.
I have an s24 ultra right now. I've been waiting for better features to come to the flip and folding phones. They finally started being less of a compromise so I ordered a new razr plus in spring green. Too bad nothing doesn't support verizon.
This is incorrect. Some A series phones have IP67 rating, but not all of them. The lower end A series phones don't have an IP rating at all. This means they could be water resistant, but they haven't been tested.
Just speaking of cases Otterboxes have been Legit. Lost the outside cover and pieces even broken off. Still protected the phone from drops even on concrete. Had 2 last from all the way from 2016 so far and still going.
10:56 You kept saying "2 years of updates" for the CMF Phone. Which is incorrect and not what they state either. They said 2 major android versions and 3 years of security updates. Which is essentially 3 years of support not 2. For $200 I'm not sure you can really expect more.
this is meant for people on budgets like students and for low price doesnt mean that u have to give up performance and fun ........my next phone is gonna be this
I have a z flip 4 and I like it and I'll keep using it until it either doesn't get updates or it breaks and then I'll change back to a non foldable samsung phone
Never understood the need to have a waterproof phone. If its raining wait until shelter before using it or is everyone actively jumping into bodies of water for action shots if so just use a gopro
i dont like the zflip ether and i hate how its only 1 screen i wish that samsung advertised the superior phone the zfold more cause its the better phone it has 2 screens and one i can use all the time and sometimes use the second fold screen once in a while when i want to multitask or play a game on i just prefer the fold over the flip
I know you did this on purpose but at 3:47 you show Solid Snake but you call him Naked Snake...and there actually is a MGS character called Naked Snake :) you used the wrong one Anyway, thank you for making this video, more people need to see that inovation in smartphones is still possible
I don't care about doing something special in the design of a phone. I want a phone to make calls, surf the internet, have a decent display. Other stuff is okay if you want it but in regard to what is required... I don't see the point in trying to compare over and over to a high end. Austin, We know you are a flip fan boy. Not sure why it was even mentioned in video.
Water resistance in phones is so niche. Let be honest. Theres not many scenarios when my phone is going to be in water. Also boring backs on phone are fine and you answered that regarding the case manufacturers are solving this problem.
I agree with you on the water resistance thing. Even low-end phones have pretty good water resistance. They can handle having water sprinkled on them and just can't stand up to being submerged or using them in the shower or during a downpour, etc. If people were really concerned about having a waterproof phone, then more companies would make that a feature in lower-end phones, as those are the most common phones purchased.
Interesting. I've never once used NFC and truthfully still am not sure I understand what it is. Never had a phone with wireless charging. My last expensive phone was the Samsung Note 8 and then a OnePlus 8T. Now have a Samsung A53 5G, which I am very annoyed with small issues...mostly that CZcams will only display 1080p, the screen is dull, and the camera is terrible esp with how longggggg the delay is before it takes the pic
@@emilyshabang NFC has nothing to do with wireless charging. It is a chip in your phone that allows you to tap your phone to other devices for various purposes. For example, it is how things like Apple pay and Google wallet allow you to tap you phone on pay terminals to pay. There are printers that are NFC enabled to allow for printing from your phone just by tapping it to the printer. Also, you can use it to tap two phones together to transfer small files. The tap to pay function is probably the most common use of it and I believe uses the same or similar tech as credit/debit cards that allow tap to pay.
@@wairgald I understand that NFC and wireless charging are different. I just meant Ive never had wireless charging, and that I don't really understand what NFC does so I likely don't need it
a 200$ phone works for 2 years and i can use it a bit freely rather than a 1200$ glass phone sure its good but man its stressful to take care of it for 7 years
The phone manufacturer doesn't intend anyone to use their phone for 7 years. It's a marketing stunt. After 5 years they MIGHT keep giving security updates and reduce battery life, etc etc

Not hot swappable. Swappable.

Haven't used a phone case since the launch of the iPhone 6
Nah I rock my phone naked some days, I've dropped it on asphalt once and besides a few minor nicks it's still good 👍🏾
Another phone to look put for would be the HMD Skyline! Bringing back Nokia nostalgia with decent specs, price and repairability!
I need this more than my IPhone 14 which I got 1 month ago. This is just too op.
I don't believe you

The Galaxy A series has IP67 now. I dont think that's an appropriate place for the experimentation
This is incorrect. Some A series phones have IP67 rating, but not all of them. The lower end A series phones don't have an IP rating at all. This means they could be water resistant, but they haven't been tested.

Please make a podcast
Water resistance in phones is so niche. Let be honest. Theres not many scenarios when my phone is going to be in water. Also boring backs on phone are fine and you answered that regarding the case manufacturers are solving this problem.
I agree with you on the water resistance thing. Even low-end phones have pretty good water resistance. They can handle having water sprinkled on them and just can't stand up to being submerged or using them in the shower or during a downpour, etc. If people were really concerned about having a waterproof phone, then more companies would make that a feature in lower-end phones, as those are the most common phones purchased.
Austin the razr+s are better than the flips
Enough about the stupid Z flip Austin let Matt talk
i would buy it BUT no NFC is a deal breaker for me....i dont carry my wallet any more i rely on my phone
Interesting. I've never once used NFC and truthfully still am not sure I understand what it is. Never had a phone with wireless charging. My last expensive phone was the Samsung Note 8 and then a OnePlus 8T. Now have a Samsung A53 5G, which I am very annoyed with small issues...mostly that CZcams will only display 1080p, the screen is dull, and the camera is terrible esp with how longggggg the delay is before it takes the pic
@@emilyshabang NFC has nothing to do with wireless charging. It is a chip in your phone that allows you to tap your phone to other devices for various purposes. For example, it is how things like Apple pay and Google wallet allow you to tap you phone on pay terminals to pay. There are printers that are NFC enabled to allow for printing from your phone just by tapping it to the printer. Also, you can use it to tap two phones together to transfer small files. The tap to pay function is probably the most common use of it and I believe uses the same or similar tech as credit/debit cards that allow tap to pay.
@@wairgald I understand that NFC and wireless charging are different. I just meant Ive never had wireless charging, and that I don't really understand what NFC does so I likely don't need it
Can you review the retro pixle pro v2 please?
a 200$ phone works for 2 years and i can use it a bit freely rather than a 1200$ glass phone sure its good but man its stressful to take care of it for 7 years
The phone manufacturer doesn't intend anyone to use their phone for 7 years. It's a marketing stunt. After 5 years they MIGHT keep giving security updates and reduce battery life, etc etc
People without a case = they have $$$
Or go to flea markets and buy a cheap one for 5 euro instead of 30 euro and it works just aswell ^^.
My phone is cheaper than that and is 1440p.
Can I PLEASE have a SHOUTOUT from you guys?
