The Nubia Alpha Wrist Phone with it's flexible display is really pushing the boundaries of what a wearable can be, and although it's a pretty bad time to use now, it certainly has potential.

Linus the kind of guy to yell ding dong at people when his bicycle bell doesnt work
Ayy I watch your videos. Glad to see you here
hey I do that too
Wait.. this isn't Doug's channel.
Jalal M lol damn you beat me to it
Good
I want a slap bracelet phone. Bends around the wrist, but you can take it off and make it straight.
DO IT PHONE COMPANIES.
Jake Honestly that’s one of the coolest ideas I’ve heard in a while. If a company actually made that, I would buy like 50 of them
Why Can't They Make It Gay.
Already done. They "can't make in straight." {ROFL!}
So u have seen ultra violet? Lol
Fun fact: Nokia, in around 2011, had a concept where the.. Let me try to find it.

Nokia Morph is the name.
Ok I figured it out! Linus lets his daughter do his hair in the morning!
holy shit they noticed you

She loves him 3000

What the heck? LOL
"This might be the worst product that I've ever fallen in love with."
While wearing Jibo shirt. I see what you did there.
But what is more important... when are the official LTT Sandals and Socks are coming to the merch store?
Now that's a very good question
genuinely a good idea
I’d buy
i hope they sew them together as a all-in-one
GUCCI X LTT SLIDES WHEN
He says wearing a Jibo shirt.
my exact thought. Although he didn't like the Jibo. That thing didn't live up to the promises
I want a Jibo shirt
@@Yoshikaable same
@@christophermacier hé wears it alot i think its funny
He is wearing it ironically. Jibo's dead.

#Canada
Great presentation! You made me aware of the short comings of this smartwatch, and how it is in need of improvement, and in time it will be ready. But, I agree with you, I love the watch as well.
"Conversation starter"
Me: Yeah baby, 4 inches and curved ;)
Damn bruh
lol
thats a conversation ender
Must curve upwards.
Erect ? Damn bro , feels bad
You know it's a good episode when Linus wears the shirt of a dead company 🤘
I dont know why they would bother putting a camera on it, am i the only one thinking this thing would look amazing if they just took those chunky sides off of it
Yeah the sides are uglay
@Johnny Ericsson If the display was shifted downward a quarter inch, it wouldn't be bad.
Johnny Ericsson It isn’t a watch, it’s a wearable smart device, and there isn’t a set standard for how wearables should be designed. It just needs to be comfortable to use, and make sense in the context of the application being used. A turning of the wrist 90 degrees counterclockwise isn’t as big of a deal than 90 degrees clockwise at a resting position.
@Johnny Ericsson The top of the display will be oriented no different than a regular Watch. So instead of the display oriented symmetrical to your hand, the top begins where your wrist lines up with the pinky finger.
@Johnny Ericsson you'd have to use your imagination.
I think they should make one where the screen wraps most of the way around your wrist so you can use it looking at the inside of your wrist too. Would definitely be more comfortable for video calls and the adjustable strap could easily go at the bottom of the wrist where you can't comfortably look at anyway
That's alot of talk for someone wearing a jibo shirt.
Whats jibo?
Many actually enjoyed the jibo to be fair
It's been said enough in this comment section already but he is wearing that shirt on purpose. But I think you were joking so
@Adith K I know what The Jibo is but what do you mean by channel surf?
Robert Grubb it’s a adult movie company that makes foot fetish videos
Linus is basically saying he wants an Omni-tool from mass effect. I don't blame him, I want one too...
Amén brother
The omni-tool would be really useful irl. Companies could apply medigel with that after those sick burns Linus gives them.
Harald zur Nieden the og version or the cleaner version of andromeda?
I find the og version looking cooler but the andromeda version I find having a cleaner and practical look than the og version and the most feasible design if it was real to exist
Sadly being able to appeal Omni-Gel on locks was patched out...damn security risks...
@@svengamings8658 the og version is far superior
@linus phase can you do a comparison between old Casio smartwatch from 35 years ago and current generation?
Why has it taken 35 years to get a colour screen and a network connection?
Nice Video! Could you please review the X-Bows mechanical ergonomic keyboard?
That watch....that's the kind of display which would really work well with the Windows Phone UI.
6:55 Seems that LTT staff take their "smoke breaks" with invisible cigarettes.
*Very cool indeed.*
Thank you!
Lol
A video showcasing David is what I actually needed in my life. Thanks Nubia!
Man.. David b-roll is probably the best and funniest b-roll I have ever seen hahahaha
If you are going to be the worst be the best at being the worst
But isn't being the best at being the worst the definition of being the worst?
Exactly.
My life motto
"By definition close enough that you could easily reach out and touch it..." You're Canadian, you know what winter is like. Being able to navigate the menus and activate stuff without having to take off my gloves is a huge boon and a rarity in this "capacitive touchscreens only" post-apocalyptic nightmare world.
he's an idiot sometimes I swear... plus those who have muscular dystrophy will really like this
A feature that has relevance during 1/4 of the year...how exciting. Just buy touch capacitive gloves.
@@Retinaplays or those without eyes and/or hands.
exactly
Aren't they in the Vancouver area? The one part of Canada with mild rainy winters instead of our stereotypical deep freeze. Besides, in full winter kit, your watch is awkward to access under layers. A broader over-the-clothing wristband could work if it was cold tolerant. Besides, gloves with touchscreen friendly fingertips have gotten pretty common although they do tend to be on the thin side (more for driving than shoveling).
I really appreciate you guys writing what product/thing the video is about in the title
The BRoll of this deserves an Emmy, amazing.
Linus the type of guy to be wearing a Jibo t shirt just to remember it has existed
R.I.P. JIBO😭😭😭
Oh, yea. Imagine curved displays for VR headsets.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas
I don't have a real VR headset. The closest thing I ever used was a smartphone VR headset. I imagine that a display that close to your eyes don't really need a curve. What would that even achieve?
@@Jonkree peripheral vision
@@Oscar4u69 what about the lenses? And if you wrap a display around the head however far, the headset itself or the video file will need information about how far the display reaches and how it's shaped, so ot doesn't look distorted.
@@Jonkree The lenses create distortion. A wrapped screen, in conjuction with modified lenses, would mitigate distortion even further.
Its used probably only for *flexing* on your friends
If you have friends...
You won't if you make puns like that all the time
You probably won't if you even know, better yet wear this
Very helpful, Thank you
Been waiting for this ever since I seen it on the wan show a while back.
Same

Give Dennis a raise so he can buy a Tesla.
Edit: I’m gonna do this on every vid I till it happens.
Sambone tesla’s ain’t that expensive. realistically dennis could get it if he was making 40k+ from LMG. And if he’s not then LINUS WHAT THE FUCK
Vancouver rents, you know.
I like your pfp
If you're making $40k in Vancouver you're basically broke
He already bought himself a new apartment tho
4:40 Linus is about to talk about desecrate notifications and received 9 loud notifications before he can get the word desecrate out lol
Callum Westlake. Do you... know how to spell discreet? Cause I don’t think you do. Asshat.
Great video, felt really organic.
So I've been a fan(boy) of Nubia for over two years, and it's one of the most innovative companies. It makes greeeeeeat HARDWARE. The software is... let's say... a little bit far from the competition. Bugs and glitches are just a standard for a few weeks, then they make an update and... that's it. I've got a Nubia Z17S, which is a last year flagship and I still have got Android 7. Their own UI has some kinda neat features, while some are just atrocious. I can't even block numbers. The camera app is one of the best, which helps, but also it's not over the top, but it helps to make great photos.
Some of you might then ask me why I still have a Nubia. The answer is easy. PRICE. The prices are on the level of Xiaomi, but the phone isn't made of cheap plastic and it has a nice camera and a fairly nice display. Some people would buy a SGS10 and have it for three years. I'd rather buy a Nubia and have it for 1,5 year and then buy another one.
Are they still a sub brand of ZTE?
Filip Bogusz
Agreed. They still have the best implementation of the dual screen
They give your data to the Chines government though.
@@Lambda_Ovine sharing is caring
@@Lambda_Ovine Yeah but why would I be bothered. I mean I am not a prime minister or something, and I don't have that much of valuable data anyway.
Honestly this was a great review Linus! I think you captured your perspective on the product well and I tend to agree with you when you say you see the future potential. It's nice to finally be *wathicng* (couldn't resist) this after hearing you talk about it on wan show. P.S: Your new stance on "clickable title" I'm really enjoying and I think it is a fantastic compromise, I'm glad to see that you've continued to do this going forward, thanks for being frank and honest about it, and so long as you continue to be so in the future you'll have my support, even if that means having to switch to much more "baity" titles in future. The honesty and transparency about it is ultimately the most important thing to me.
I agree love the new titles
😍 I would love this myself. This thing as a just a regular watch or a smart watch with a bigger screen ⏰
Alex's comment nailed it🤣🤣 the notification waves🤣and David's role model 🤣🤣
*Reads title
Me: Weird way to describe your kids.
*Roblox oof*
Oh ow.
OOF
Oh wow...
😂
Jibo shirt for the Nubia Watch.....
Kinda fits each other fine...
It would be awesome if a "deliberate" (ie quite quick) twist of the wrist could be used to scroll content on the display up or down. I'm thinking twist and hold that position for a slow, continuous scroll, then revert to your original angle to stop.
wow...this notification sound really reminds me of german television (in one episode of „auf streife“ there was a kid with one of these purple kid‘s „smartphones“ with this sound and it was constantly ringing, im still terrified of it)
the notification tone sounds straight out of windows vista
*OH NO, THE EDITOR IS AN AI MACHINE :O *
And R.I.P. Jibo
I love how Linus brings out the Jibo shirt every time he's about to crap on some company's product
That my friend is foreshadowing.
4:49 my Microwave legit started going off at the exact same time this was happening. lol
Guessing the editor for this one is on probation hence the credits, I'd just like to say good work. Nice to have new effects (hologram Linus) while keeping the same LTT style!
"Editor: An AI Machine ;)"
Maybe one of the new hires?
I have one still trying to figure out how to merge my contacts from my phone on it and my music. Does it even connect to TH-cam or the internet at all?
Thx for saving me money! I was about to purchase it but decided to check reviews.
Linus DON'T REMOVE the plastic screen protector😏😏😏
Because bad things will happen 😏😏😏😏
I'm waiting for the smart watches with flip screens and a camera. Bruh, video chat from a watch is endgame for me. 😜
Will need to remove 2 screen protectors🤣
@@ChiefKapui You mean with 4 camera, and a notch , right?
:D
@@EltonLeonidas Haha! 1 camera should be enough but I'm sure they'll eventually make a flip smart watch with at least 3 cameras 🤣🤣
Notches are just a fad, it'll completely be gone by 2022.
@@ChiefKapui lololoololol
Only dumb people removes the FREE plastic screen protector.
Nice choice wearing the Jibo shirt for this. Given both were DOA.
Been waiting for this forever... all the build-up. Let's go
Love for the star camera man in this episode, beautiful man! Keep it comin!
Sounds interesting
First smart watch that actually interested me
But it does look like an alpha can't wait for the open beta version
Lolz
Yeah, it may seem like you don't need a smartwatch. I thought the same thing but trust me it is so nice to have. I suggest buying a Ticwatch E. It is only 190 USD and I got it for 120 USD. It literally costs less than a regular watch so if it turns out you don't need a smartwatch you haven't wasted a ton of money
Signed integer overflow errors in 2019?!
can i ask what synthetic programs you use in your pc test i just got a new rig and i need to test it before putting it to use
Unrelated but i have an a10 7700k apu now if i open cinebench it says 2cores 4 threads is that normal?
I love it because its showing us how fast tech is progressing. I'm pretty excited
Where did you guys get discount Chris Hemsworth?
Lmao i like him
That guy is annoying af
@@kidShibuya i want one.
Hey there I'm just shooting in the dark but ^ what's your idea about taking a gpu off a gpu to put on a better set up mainboad? Idk shot in the dark and if so could you swap the possessor chipset (idk what I'm taking about I'm thinking like a mechanic bc if it fits it just might work right?) Sorry please see this I would like to shot you an idea or to just need a topic to follow
Been waiting for this video for weeks
Thought you were gonna talk about flip flops and sandals lol
I miss Pebble :(
But thank God for Rebble :)
Still using my pebble.
I still feel no reason to replace mine for anything else. Hell, I've been meaning to go and see if I can buy a bunch of replacement charging cables just for when mine inevitably dies.
What's Rebble?
My Pebble still works but I rarely use these days. So hoping to see Pebble similar watch in the future. Simple and nice.
@@mr.mushroomparty180 what is Rebble though?
The watch reminds me of Leela's brace-computer from Futurama. Something like that might be a little more practical than trying to fit it into the form factor of a watch, and now that flexible screens are becoming more common - seems like a good time to try making one.
I know it's an old video, but worth a shot.. how do you change the time format on this thing ?
Ive been at this one technology festival in my country today (27.4.2019) and there wasnt even one flexible display in any of the booths but for sure there was a giant ass screen streaming some live Fortnite tournament.
Lots of potential but still needs alot of work
Obi-Wan Kenobi what was Anakin like before ya know master obi wan
Hello there
The Koss porta pro X was the most relevant part in this video! omg I WANT THOSE
I love it. I want a wider one.
Have they permanently switched to 2:1 aspect ratio?
Long Bean is LONG
Yes, it's better for the new 18;9 phone screens.
Yeah, they said they get most of their traffic from mobile.
@@EpicGamingNL Yeah no one cares about stupid new phones. They can shove their aspect ration into the 3.5mm hole, oh wait...
It's also better for my 21:9 ultrawide, so I appreciate it :)
I really like the shots with David 6:55 wtf 😂
how does it look and act if you flip the face 180*, so the face of the watch is on the other side of your wrist???
hey Linus, what do you think about the new HP omen with RTX and can do you do a vid abt budget Gaming laptops with RTX
4:45 thanks linus my gf totally thought it was my phone lol
I was hoping for a Pip Boy.
First technology I've been excited for in a long time. The future of this is awesome.
Following up on your titling commitment, good on you.
I became sad when I saw Jibo, even I never owned one, its words before shut down broke my heart :,(
Several years ago I found out that the term for 3D “holographic” displays, like the one in Star Wars or what’s at 2:55 in this video, is actually “Volumetric Display.” Holographic displays generally mean the 2D kind you see on credit cards, bookmarks, etc. that make you tilt your head to see the image move.
So if you’re looking for the latest advances in Iron Man tech, search volumetric displays.
I like how they put part of the display on the far side of your wrist where it's really hard to rotate to, but none on the underside of your wrist which you can easily turn to face you.
Review the amazfit bip, I get around 35-40 days of battery life and it just works, which makes it a usable automatic/quartz watch replacement.
"The WORST Product I've ever LOVED"
- Says the guy in a Jibo shirt
Really, the Jibo shirt. Don't make me emotional.
The world wasn't ready for the perfection of jibo
How cute Linus is still on hangouts. This is where I see a more practical and less stressed use of a flexible display being the break through over the folding display phones.
I just bought the gold one of these beauties.. I can't wait to do a review.
Didn't Linus start laughing when Gamers Nexus insisted you to make a video about this?
America "hey Canada what time is it?"
Canada "419"
America "dude it is noon"
Canada "give me a minute"
Reminds me of Vector by Anki. I loved the little man but the glitches, lack of updates, and high cost pushed me back to returning him.
Hey Linus I need your advice on this. Im considering upgrading my PC but i don't know if I should do it.. In 4 Months im going to another city to school i will be staying in a student home and i cant bring my PC. I will be home every 2 weeks for about 3 days, that's the only time i have to play games.
Is it a good idea to upgrade my PC. If anyone else has an opinion please let me hear it.. thank you
They should rename it the pipboy, because that's the vibe I get from it
It could give them an excuse to make it even bulkier too.
2:58 CONFIRMED THAT GIDEON IS LINUS...
wait flash created linus and reverse flash used linus holy...
Really rocking that Jibo t-shirt recently. 👌.
I wonder if it would work any better if you wear it like most runner wear their watches with the face inward toward you (so the bottom side of your wrist)
**Alpha gesture**
Use the Force, Anakin!
I get it... If he's wearing the Jibo shirt, DONT BUY IT! I mean, he didn't even drop it once.
I'd love a smart sleeve type thing, with a big screen that goes up your forearm in landscape
It kinda looks like that watch / video communicator that the Centurions wore in that 80s cartoon tv show with the fold up screen and antenna which was made into a toy.
Nobody:
Linus: THIS VIDEO IS SPONSORED
That bearded guy is the natural evolution of Luke
In the sense that I'd like to hug him
I am unable to register into Nubia Wear app, can't create an account and can't use this watch at all. Can anyone help me?
I love this thing just because it's cool technology. Probably won't buy one in the coming years but hell, it'd be cool to have one that worked just as well as the idea, which is an impossibility because nothing works as well as the idea itself
