    "I hope"...you all enjoyed this video, a lot of work went into this one but I find it to be one of the better reviews I have done in a while. I had a lot of energy while filming the later bits so I managed to crack in a few jokes here and there.
    This was the last iHope episode. iWish is so much better and covers all sites that things are bought from.

      Just to let you know, it is NOT waterproof, you just got lucky that it did not die right away, perhaps the water did not make it to short-circuit it, but the phone did not have any sort of waterproofing Inside, such as rubber gasket, glued parts and so on, the battery was wet, including near the contacts, the screen was wet, which would have likely killed it eventually and the whole phone Inside was wet, so no, it is not waterproof, it simply survived the short dunk in the sink luckily, however, it is no more waterproof than any of the other welcome devices, you can test other welcome phones you have or any other phones in general without waterproofing, 1 in every 10 will always survive, at least at first. Even if the phone did not have ingress protection (which it did not), when a phone's internals are waterproofed the water drops bead up as it has a hydrophobic coating on it, which this phone did not have. (You can check Jerryrig's old videos on waterproof phones to check this phenomenon on actually waterproof devices. I am saying all of this just so you can end the false advertising, as it is not even waterproof, it was just lucky this time.

Like messenger. nothing crazy about it, if you remove it you just wont be able to use chat heats and floating widgets or phone calls popping up on top of the screen instead it'll be like old android phones where a phone call would close your apps and cover the whole screen with the caller.

    The lady who was reciving calls from that number was actually being called by scammers. Changing the caller ID is as simple as writing the wrong return address on an envelope, so scammers usually use a random number from the same area as their targets when calling. It's very common for scammers to not pick up their phones before their robocallers time out, thus the odd silence.

      Depends really if you cut off the power and then dry it off with an air compressor as an air can wouldn't be able to expel the water. My second smartphone an LG G2 survived when I did this and let any residue water dry out for half a day. My parents keep it for the Walabot stud finder since they just use iPhones. Works fine. Only thing I noticed is that the Walabot app doesn't like it anymore. Maybe I'll hack it to run a later android sometime so it isn't so fussy.

    Your drop test is pretty flawed, IP cert only says 1.5m drops so waste height was spot on. Throwing it in the air, even a properly certified IP rated phone will likely crack.
    What's more important in those drop tests is checking angles of impact from relative smaller heights which depict more real life scenario's. Like dropping on a corner ( which is why rugged phones have some protection there ) or dropping flat ( which again is why a rugged phone never has a display that isn't recessed on some way ).
    Overall pretty fun though, long but that's what's we expect. Thanks btw for reminding me of those codes, maybe this time I will remember them.

    This LOOKS like it could use a similar frame as my china phone, though mine is actually china branded and not shit and costed me about the same as this listing ( Ulephone Armor X8 ). The tripple camera and fingerprint location and button placement match, but not the sim slot location. Also, the Ulephone is actually legit rugged in that it does have water insertion protection. Anyway the camera island and fingerprint sensor location are shared among a lot of phones so not saying this is a Ulephone rip off. It's not a direct match at all, just optically close'ish in layout. And the actual form of the plastic is the first thing a clone manufacturer changes to 'differentiate' himself, it's the cheapest option since it doesn't change any of the internals and it's most effective since it optically changes the phone so people always notice the desired 'branding' effect.
