@SMOOREZ Hey i have a suggestion, if you want to test battery capacity on cheap phones you can use accubattery. It can check your battery capacity in mah and your battery health in general. It's available on the Play Store.
If you can go into Engineering Mode/Telephony/BandMode you can see what bands the phone is capable of. If you have a true "world phone" you can sometimes add and remove bands although I haven't been able to do that for ages.
@@radiden just for the sake of curiosity, also sometimes you have no choice other then these phone, Since these typa phone is an awesome choice for a burner phone
@@firesnake6311 I'd say any used old flagship/midrange phone is a better burner personally, since they won't lie about the specs and will support more cellular network configurations, and usually can have a custom rom put on them to bring them up to date
Looks surprisingly close to an actual Samsung galaxy A51 that I had (just with less cameras and no punchhole, of course), I wonder if any rando on the street could tell if it was a Samsung or not if rip that XGODY branding.
A lot of phones look like a51, i still use a51 first gen, just swapped the battery and headphone jack for new one, and it's still perfectly fine in daily use (tho i use it to call/text and read pdfs mostly). My sister got herself xiaomi (new one, note 10s or sth) and when i lie down these 2 phones right next to each other, front up, i can barley tell which one is mine lol. It genuine often happens that we take each others phones by mistake. Also ye, this xgody is very similar to a51 in terms of its visual design. It even rips off a51 back design. It's almost the same, just inverted. To be fair many brands copy samsung phone design. cuz they are simply looking good alright.
With this one, you forgot to turn on enhanced 4g mode, it would've improved communications (so it claimed), couldn't have hurt to turn that on, maby it did improve the connection :p
resistive touchscreens can have multi touch, ashens did a video on a bootleg tablet forever ago that had it, it just gets confused when your fingers get too close to eachother
I think every phone should come with earphones/buds a headphone adapter and the wire and block for fast charging.. Especially with 1000$+ phones nowadays
Do you guys think that xgody is actually the welcome phone manufacturers, and half the phones they make as xgody and the other half as the welcome phones? And only have to change the specs in the secret phone app. Unless xgody is separate and just buys from those manufacturers but doesn't actually own the factories, they just want to resell with the real specs.
The manufacturer of welcome phones is KST Microhand Inc. A Chinese company that makes a lot of welcome phones and they used to scam people except for xgody
Hello SMOOREZ I just saw a video for a Nokia 5710 express audio with built in headphones. It would be a great phone to do a review on if you can find one plus a good one for your collection.
About the Phone calls, it could be that you have 4G calls enabaled, and then, when you have poor connection, it could be, that you can not call out or be called
I had a Welcome phone once and threw it away pretty quick!! They are garbage and they make no attempts to hide that either. Not only are the cameras terrible, they put no effort whatsoever into making you feel at all confident you didn't waste $200 on a worthless piece of junk!
You might as well buy a Motorola / Lenovo phone, or a Samsung Galaxy A-Series. Much better specs for the same price as this. Or buy a used flagship that's 3-4 years old, the performance will still be much better than modern cheap phones.
I've thought about doing that with some phones but I always like to present the stock experience from these devices. Maybe I might add it later down the track.
I usually run youtube using adblock browser on my phones and it runs without an issue. The app might be nice but the adds are just beyond annoying. I rather just whitelist certain channels to allow the creator to get some revenue, but overall i prefer to give youtube as little as possible. Performance wise there is no difference if i run it in browser or app.
Must admit, a hot air station and de-soldering would look a bit more professional, and allows the reuse of the heat shield. The only part of the vids I skip through, is where you are explaining to people that they can ckip through parts of the vid, thought you might enjoy the irony.
MT6737, not bad. That's the most shittiest SoC that support 4G Now the overused MT6580 can finally rest in peace Overall it's certainly better than your average welcome phone, just tad bit slower
You know company is so bad when they have to pay themselves to try to move the watermark. That or they don't want people to steal their very very shit ideas.
Weird that GTA 3 lagged. I had a Galaxy J7 with a Mali-T720 MP2 and it ran GTA San Andreas fine, as well as Bully and COD mobile. You'd think that having one less core would mean slightly above half the performance at least.
ok good screen and camera but apart from that that's just a welcome device as you said. to me it looks like a rip-off from samsung low/mid smartphones (like a50/51 or a30s or something), pretty low tho so 4/10 not good enough.
Fun fact: you can recognise the megapixel of camera by shining it and depends on color means this muc megapixel is the camera example If you shine a camera and the color is purple It means it's a 5 MP camera idk about the others only know the 5 MP one

Does a Samsung Galaxy s30 exist??
I've been keeping this device since 2016 in my latest video. Check it out if u hv free times. I luv ur vibes and been binge watch ur vids.
I felt like technology became so fragile these days, but then you see Smoorez ripping out a piece of the SoC and the phone didn't flinch.
My s21 5g has been dropped in water many times, dropped hundreds and still works 4 years later.
@@VO1D333 ah yes I remember buying the s21 in 2018.
@@ari_1755 I don't remember exactly haha but around that time? I don't keep up with phone releases much
@@VO1D333 s21 released in 2021
@@ari_1755 oh shi 😭 well it seems durable to me
If you can go into Engineering Mode/Telephony/BandMode you can see what bands the phone is capable of.
If you have a true "world phone" you can sometimes add and remove bands although I haven't been able to do that for ages.

the entire video is there to tell you to not buy the phone though

@@radiden Not like these "clones" are up to date
@@firesnake6311just buy an old mid ranger like from 2017 they are cheaper than these shit
I love that it survived the chipped chip. It's very determined not to do anything you want, but be alive while doing it.
Your camera tests make me want to play L.A. Noire again every damn time! :-) Keep up the great content
I feel like the phone is blacklisted. I would contact phone providers and see what they say
The first wallpaper , architecture spiraling up the sky , was in one of my zte phones, maybe they pinched it as well. :)

Hello smoorez thank you so much for making this content it really is fun to watch I appreciate it so much 👍
Trying to use the phone while updating, is a crap move on a good phone, doing that on a cheap and underpowered one, is right down criminal.
🤣🤣 Gotta love those jumpscare notifications during boot🤣🤣
It looks almost exactly like an actual Samsung phone, which is the Galaxy A02s and the A03s. Actually the rear design is much better on the XGODY.
IMEI slot 1 number corresponds to the Samsung Galaxy A9s
IMEI slot 2 number also corresponds to the Galaxy A9s
Yep, they're cloning an old Samsung
Out of interest, what IMEI checker are you using? Mobicode and IMEIPro both show as unregistered to any particular model
Unlock sound is from the galaxy S3 recording sound while the locking sound is from the galaxy S3 lock sound
With this one, you forgot to turn on enhanced 4g mode, it would've improved communications (so it claimed), couldn't have hurt to turn that on, maby it did improve the connection :p
resistive touchscreens can have multi touch, ashens did a video on a bootleg tablet forever ago that had it, it just gets confused when your fingers get too close to eachother
That explains to me how the "2 finger multitouch mod" worked for the sony shakira.
8:15 is hilarious how xgody earrapes you during the startup when you least expect it
I think every phone should come with earphones/buds a headphone adapter and the wire and block for fast charging..
Especially with 1000$+ phones nowadays

But yes xgody phones got infected by welcome phones
@@Kurdfrog_Kaicipo oh that's interesting to know! I wonder if they reuse chips from old phones seeing at the phones have real old processors.
@@Kurdfrog_Kaicipo like a computer virus right?
@@zzoinks yea
39:43 that startup sound is from LG
Front camera actually surprise me a lot. Probably the best cheapo phone front facing camera?
You should put credit onto one of those SIM cards to see if the data would have worked with this phone.
I dare s'mores to do a video of using a welcome device as a daily driver for 24 hours.
Back design itself reminds me of the back of the A50/S20. The prism backs.
33:29 MT6580 doesn't have 4g and is actually better in real world performance.
they know the power brick they get from welcome aren't good so they don't add any they just save/make more money that way
Hello SMOOREZ
I just saw a video for a Nokia 5710 express audio with built in headphones. It would be a great phone to do a review on if you can find one plus a good one for your collection.
38:20 they've just poached the LG boot tones. Those cheeky sods
That's LG bootlegs by kingsentime
About the Phone calls, it could be that you have 4G calls enabaled, and then, when you have poor connection, it could be, that you can not call out or be called
Awesome video
FFs... Not 2-3 days gone by... and I am already anxiously waiting for the next video :P Alprazolam 1Mgx3 Pls :P
I got an xgody phone and the charger was included but In separate box
I have a realme 7 5g and the only visual difference is mine has a hole punch camera.
Hey Smoorez! i just wanted to ask when next joblot will be relased
Sooooo excited for the 14 pro max clone! Fingers crossed it isn’t a brick inside an iPhone box 😂
Far away aircon with 4x zoom kinda just looks like a GY!BE album cover
Maybe you should top-off some credit on those SIM cards?
Just an idea 😁
LOL 😄
Probably wouldn't make a difference never needed credit to receive calls.
@sky5344 In Europe, when you don't top-up for some time,they deactivate the SIM,so you need to send sms or something,to acivate it again...
@@TheChudoviste don't think I've ever had that happen in Aus
@@Kyharra Aus as Australia or Aus as Austria?
The back design probably been copied from Samsung A series.
I had an XGODY Y13 as my main phone for like a year. It was hell
If you have to do that again, disable the Google apps you don't need and turn off auto-update in Play Store settings
Or save your lunch money and buy a better phone lol.
Using old Android devices is like running windows XP on your pc. I shouldn't have to explain...
I bet there are other better choices around that price range
I wish you would review the Nokia 6300 4g! Ive had mine about a year and i think its pretty good!
Could you have a look at an oukitel wp5 please :)
I had a Welcome phone once and threw it away pretty quick!! They are garbage and they make no attempts to hide that either. Not only are the cameras terrible, they put no effort whatsoever into making you feel at all confident you didn't waste $200 on a worthless piece of junk!
6:43 - it also kinda looks like a Samsung A51

Yh thats true I’m still using a Samsung galaxy s8
"fake 4G" being set to "true" implies it DOES have 4G.
What a strange device.
Why I sang the text in the thumbnail, only God knows 🤣🤣🤣
Reason TH-cam didn't instal is because the play store wasn't up.to date it needed manual update on play store
Looks like the Play Store won’t install anything due to Play Services being outdated. Try updating it by install a APK
For the camera test why not use like 3rd party camera app like GCam or Open Camera?
I've thought about doing that with some phones but I always like to present the stock experience from these devices. Maybe I might add it later down the track.
I prefer to see what the phone does out of the box, and to ask for both tests might be a bit too much.
i get pending sometimes even on a fold 4
could the $g be for Tablets only
The loop dialer is really sus
31:24 hey. That ad is still stupid.
The moggo is called simon 😻

Basically bigger Cubot Note 7 with worse camera and far older Android
Good morning smorez
Maybe the play store version was too old?
Both IMEIs are unregistered
MT6735 is legit 4G SoC but pretty much entry one. Barely runs anything, but still better than MT6580.
The back design seem to rip off the Galaxy A30s
both IMEIs are for a Samsung A9s
he haz come and see the phone agein...
37:02 nice. I didn't peg you as a VGG enjoyer.
hey bud call the phone Hamster and give it to Ripley (sorry Ripley) lol
Vodafone Idea Limited .
₹699 . 3gb day . 12 to 6 unlimited net
This phone is as good as my 2014 Samsung Galaxy A3 in my collection XD!
why does it look like an A03s from the back 💀💀💀
or a Galaxy A41
it had the exact same cam layout and design on the back, obviously better of course
MT6737, not bad. That's the most shittiest SoC that support 4G
Now the overused MT6580 can finally rest in peace
Overall it's certainly better than your average welcome phone, just tad bit slower
Im playing genshin, C. O. D, P. U. B. G but why gta isnt free??? thats the one im missing.
Don't worry calling one point multitouch was a funny time
nice video and you aren't sacrificing quality
You know company is so bad when they have to pay themselves to try to move the watermark. That or they don't want people to steal their very very shit ideas.
No it's likely KST Microhand
KST Microhand is manufacturer of welcome phones and they used to scam people instead of xgody
I say Kingsentime is Chinese company
This phone looks like a mix of Galaxy S20 and Galaxy A31/51
37:03 aw yes
