USA news on Youtube Nov 20 2018

hey guys welcome back so in this video today I'll be doing an unboxing and

review of the nest hello video doorbell now for the people they don't know nest is a

company that specializes in smart home products so things like smoke detectors

IP cameras video doorbells thermostats all their products are focused on making

your home smarter as well as safer so I'll be doing a quick unboxing or take

it to the installation process I'll show you what the application looks like look

at some of the features and it will end up with the conclusion so with all of

that being said

now in case you're wondering why would anyone actually want a video doorbell

well I'll say probably the main thing is for security so this way you can

actually see who's outside your house before you even go you know anywhere

near the door on top of that the nest actually supports a two-way conversation

so I can happily talk to the person outside my house find out who it is find

out what they want without actually opening the door so inside the box

you'll get the actual nest hello doorbell you get the QuickStart guide

you get all of the screws you need including the masonry drill bear you get

the backing plate and you also get the triumph connector because you can

actually connect this to your current wide doorbell if you want to do that now

in terms of installation it is actually a very straightforward installation

process and as we can see here we'll actually get step-by-step instructions

using the app however actually opted for the professional install and I had to

somebody come to my house and do it and it took them all for about 15 to 20

minutes so it is totally up to you but I just wanted the professional touch so

when you start the application a mutually activates the video camera and

you can see what's exactly happening outside your house now probably the

first thing that struck me was just how good is the quality of this camera now

I've used other IP cameras before even some good quality ones but but this is

by far the best quality picture I've ever seen and it also supports HDR so

you can get the best quality picture from your camera and if you just look at

the night mode again so even though it's pitch-black outside we can still see the

quality of the camera so I was definitely impressed with that you can

then go over to the settings and here we can basically configure our camera and

change some of the settings so so the notifications you can specify how you

want to be notified when silver rings your doorbell

I'll come back to the familiar faces just a second now the family feature

basically means you can give access to this application to other members of

your family so they can also install the nest application on their smartphones

and then they can access whichever features you want to give them now one

thing I didn't mention is when you do install this application you will have

to create a free nest account just to log into this application and user

features now with that login you can then assign other members of your family

so they can also log in but you will have to create a free account before you

can use this application and then we have nest where so although you can't

buy this camera as a one-off price and get it and then access most of the

features there are some premium features which requires a subscription now this

subscription with nest cost a couple of dollars per month and with the

subscription you can do things like 30-day recording so so buddy for this

application will only show you what's happened outside your house today you

can for example see what happened yesterday or the day before or any other

time so it's only more for the hair and now however with the nest aware

subscription you get 30 days playback recording so you can look back at any

time and find out what's been happening outside your house on top of that you'll

still get the cool feature which is called familiar faces now what this

means is when somebody knocks on your door

this application will actually prompt you and ask you do you know this person

and if you do know the person you can actually add that into your known

contacts and you can actually assign them names so for example your friend

Bob knocks on the door this will prompt you asking you do you know this person

you can say yes you do and then you can assign them the name Bob now the next

time Bob comes to the door because of the advanced facial recognition

technology this will actually tell you that Bobby's knocking on the door on top

of that if you have the Google smart home Google smart home will actually

tell you that Bob is knocking on your door so without you looking at your

phone without you looking at the window you'll know exactly who's outside your

door and the facial recognition technology works really well and I've

tested it with lots of different people and it's got it right every single time

so that's definitely a very impressive feature although it does require that

subscription so I mentioned before that the next application does support

two-way conversation so I can easily talk to the person standing outside of

my house before ever reason I didn't want to talk to the person Nestor's give

you three predefined greetings here's what they sound like

just a second we'll be right there hi there no one can answer the door right

now we can see here we also have a quiet time feature so when you turn this on

you're not gonna hear your doorbell anymore if somebody does ring on your

door you will get the notification on your phone but you not hit the sound on

your doorbell so I think this is a great feature if you have kids or pets or if

you just don't want to be disturbed for a set amount of time this is very

helpful now one of the best things about nest is just how well integrated the

different nest products are so using a similar application you can be managing

your thermostat your IP cameras your video doorbells

the products really do work well together and it's the simplest way to

make your home smarter as well as safer so do I think about the nest hello so

overall I'm very impressed with firstly the camera quality both in the daytime

and also night time on top of that I like the 24/7 recording so some of the

other video doorbells or some of the other IP camera solutions they only

start recording when they detect movement but with the nest hello it's

recording at all times the fact I does support HDR means you really can't get

those finer details in your camera image the 2-way conversation is another great

feature so you can easily talk to the person outside your house for example if

you need to tell your postman to leave your package you know by the door or you

know under your car you can easily do that I just wish that you could get some

of those features without taking our subscription but as previously mentioned

the beekeeper subscription is only four or five dollars per month so that's not

too much to ask for especially when it does give you the face recognition

technology the multiple days playback and also you can set sones that you want

to record or ignore so for those kind of features five dollars is not too much

but again it would be great if some of those were included for free that's all

for this video guys many thanks for watching until you leave me a comment

below let me know we think about the nest hello is this something that you

may consider in the future do you already have a video doorbell let me

know what you think leave me a comment below and I'll hopefully catch up with

you guys real soon thanks

iPhone XR Is It Worth It - Duration: 11:06.

- The iPhone XR,

is it worth it?

That is what we're here to find out.

(electronic buzzing)

The decision to move over to the XR

as my main daily driving phone

was not an easy one.

Opinions on the internet varied

as to the quality of this device.

- The iPhone XR is a sick frickin' joke!

- Alright, now let's talk about the thing

that I am most excited about: the iPhone XR.

They saved it for last,

and they seem to spend more time talking about this

than the other ones,

and rightfully so.

I mean, I have been saying for months and months and months

that this is the phone I believe will outsell

all the others this year.

Even before we really knew what it was gonna look like,

I told you it would look insanely similar

to the iPhone X, and that's all Apple needs right now.

They need this phone to look like the new one.

The average consumer

has no idea about the specs.

- June 24, 2010.

That's when Apple was capable

of putting a 326-PPI display into a smartphone,

all the way back then,

and they're still doing it to this day,

and I can't figure out the reason.

- [Jerry] Our little orange friend

is built like a solid, low-resolution brick.

If Apple charged 500

or maybe even $600 for this hardware, I'd be pretty pumped.

But charging $800 after tax for this

is like robbing an old folks home.

Yeah, it's easy, and your targets won't notice,

but it's just wrong.

- Having most major flagship devices at my fingertips,

I decided to camp on the iPhone XR for the past three weeks.

I wanted to put this device to the test,

uncover all the major deficiencies

with this lower-costing iPhone.

Let's take a look and see exactly

what compromises I had to make

when switching over to the iPhone XR

for the past three weeks.

I have to start off by saying, what I'm sharing today

is my personal experience, which means

nothing I'm saying is wrong.

There's no need to challenge or get disrupted

over anything I'm saying.

It's my personal opinion based on my personal experience.

You can have your own opinion too.

Why did I buy the iPhone XR?

I found this device a little bit different

than the regular iPhones.

With that in mind, I looked at this device

and I was like, there's something different about this,

something a little unique,

something that I just couldn't pass up.

I had to know.

Is this a budget iPhone,

or is this just a different iPhone?

The specs.

Oh, the specs of this device is what makes it different.

Apple went out of the way to ensure that the user experience

was not disrupted or disturbed when making this device.

They cut corners where necessary,

or at least where they felt it was necessary,

and there's only a handful of areas

that separates this device

from its big sister, the iPhone XS or XS Max.

Let's start on the outside of this device.

The iPhone XR comes in a handful of beautiful colors:

blue, of course, that's the color I went for,

yellow, orange, red,

while the iPhone XS and XS Max

only come in silver, black, and a new gold color.

I would show you my gold-colored iPhone XS Max,

but I have a camo dbrand skin on it right now, so I can't.

The rear camera is different.

The XR is only sporting a rear single F1.8 aperture lens,

while the big sisters both have two dual lenses.

All lenses are 12 megapixels.

The XR only has three portrait lighting effects,

that's right,

natural, studio, and contour.

Well, the XS Max has five,

adding stage and stage mono to that list.

Let's move on to the front-facing selfie camera.

They all have a seven-megapixel,

F2.2-aperture lens with the same technology.

Here, the XR does not fall short

on selfie portrait effects at all.

They all have the same five effects:

natural, studio, contour, stage, and stage mono.

So Apple clearly cut corners on the rear-facing camera

while preserving the features

and the functionality on the more popular selfie camera.

Due to only having one lens on the rear-facing camera,

the XR is only capable of digital zoom up to five times.

Well, the XS Max and the XS

have up to two-time optical and 10-time digital zoom.

The XR is only rated IP67

compared to the XS and the Max with a rating of IP68,

which means you can safely expose your XR underwater

up to one meter for 30 minutes

while the big sister can go up to two meters for 30 minutes.

All in all, they can both go in the water,

take an underwater photo,

and they can get a little wet with no worries at all.

Let's move on to the screen.

This is where you can head to the comments section

and tell me all about what you think

about what Apple did with this screen.

It is a factor when buying a phone.

On paper, the stats of the XR screen

is the lesser quality device.

However, what if I told you,

you don't know what you don't know?

There's no question in my head

that the screen on the XS Max is better;

it just is.

I'm using the Max version,

and it has a 6.5-inch OLED screen, multi-touch display

compared to the XR with a 6.1 LCD,

still multi-touch, but it has a liquid retina display,

which means the edges and the corners

flow and curve to the end of the phone,

and it creates that whole little curve-to-the-edge look.

That's what they mean when they say liquid retina.

There's no liquid that makes up your screen.

It's an LCD screen.

So, I don't know why they call it liquid.

However, if I never used the Max

before I walked into a store

and they showed me the LCD lesser iPhone XR model,

I'm here to tell you

that it is stunning enough to keep my attention.

That's correct.

All through using this device,

I never once thought or felt

like my screen was not good enough.

I never thought that my blacks weren't black enough,

that my reds and yellows were undersaturated.

That never even crossed my mind.

What Apple did here is cut the cost of the screen,

still managed to optimize the software

and the hardware together

to give you, me, us

the best possible user experience it can

within the limitations of the hardware.

To wrap it up, the outside comparison,

the screen, the camera, and the IP ratings,

are the three major differences.

Now let's go ahead to the inside of the phone

and see what the major differences are there.

The storage options are a little bit different,

but I don't really think storage options

really makes or breaks if you're gonna buy a phone.

They're just options.

They're not really gonna have an effect

on the performance of your device.

You can go up to 256 gigs on the XR

and 512 gigs on the XS Max.

The chips.

Well, they're both sporting an A12 Bionic chip,

which is Apple's pride and joy at the moment.

So we're not getting a lesser experience here.

So, all in all, there's not really too much to compare

about what's under the hood of these two devices.

They're all pretty equal all the way across the board.

I don't even know what to share with you right now.

It's basically the same phone on the inside,

which brings us to the question,

is the iPhone XR worth it?

Value is more than just cash

that you have to shell out to make a purchase.

When I think of value,

what value does a device bring to me?

I'm thinking, how does it enhance my life?

How does it make my life easier?

How does it make my life more integrated and fluid?

And it hits the nail on the head.

When you're within the Apple ecosystem,

'cause that's where we are right now,

and you want to look and see,

which device is gonna be the best for you?

If you've never been exposed to the XS or the XS Max,

then the XR is an amazing option for you;

however, it's cutting corners.

You are getting a lesser of a device,

but you don't know what you don't know,

I'll say it again.

In the event you have to have

the latest and greatest top-of-the-line technology,

maybe I'm like that, maybe I'm like that,

then you're gonna go for the XS or the XS Max.

But if you're OK with good enough,

gets the job done in a cool, sporty color

at a really pleasurable size,

right, 'cause it feels great in the hand,

then this might be the device for you.

It comes down to it:

is the device worth it?

Are you willing to shell out a few extra hundred bucks

to have the latest and greatest?

Or are you going on a device payment plan,

and you'd rather have a device payment that's

35 bucks a month versus 50 bucks a month?

That's what it's coming down to here.

But it all adds up over time.

You have to ask yourself what you want

and what you're going to do with your phone.

Personally, ever since switching back to the XS Max

two days ago, I'm missing my XR.

I'm literally trying to talk myself into staying

in the XS Max just because I bought it

even though the XR is good enough,

it got the job done,

it had phenomenal battery life,

it fit great in my hand, and I loved the color of it.

So now that we know all of this, what am I gonna do?

Head down to the comments section right now and tell me,

what do you think I should do?

Should I switch back to the XR,

or should I stay with the XS Max?

Mind you, I bought both phones outright cash.

They're both beyond the return period, so they're mine,

so I'm not gonna be able to return one.

So which one should I use?

Let me know what you think.
