Poco F3 & X3 Pro, Realme 8 Pro, Moto G100 & More! | TSW55
- hello there you seductively sensual
- human being you and welcome to a rather
- monumental episode of textbook weekly
- that's right this week the spurton army
- has grown half a million strong over 500
- 000 of you beautiful buggers have
- smashed the bejesus at that subscribe
- button since i did my first video just
- over a thousand days ago
- all right so um hi guys uh this is chris
- uh i'm chris and you're watching
- texpert get it yeah uh and this here is
- the motorola moto g7
- and we're gonna oh and please do uh
- smash the subscribe button
- and poke the little thumbs up thingy
- that would be great if you want to of
- course i don't know
- i don't want to pressure you into
- anything uh but anyway this this funny
- little fella here it's the uh the mortal
- g7 uh
- and for posterity i captured that
- precise joyous moment where the
- subscriber count
- ticked up to precisely 500 000. okay
- guys
- this is it it's about to happen half a
- million spartans here we come
- here we go here we go
- any second now got a good feeling about
- this time
- boom oh we lost one seriously i haven't
- got all day
- my beer's gonna go flat oh there it is
- there it is way suck my chubby half a
- million subscribers
- right yeah great lovely lovely stuff
- half a ruddy million absolutely mental
- stuff so again a massive thank you to
- everyone who's
- subscribed and is continuing to watch
- this random shower
- every single week and that's enough of
- that bollocks anyway because anyone who
- has been watching
- this channel will have noticed there's
- been quite a few phone launches going on
- so let's crack on expert weekly
- so first off this week the mighty poker
- squeezed out two new ball guinness
- blowers the poco x3 pro
- and the poco f3 that x3 pro is
- essentially the x3 nfc from last year
- but with sexier performance and at 200
- quid it's an effing bargain
- or if you want some serious game and
- grunt you can upgrade to that poco f3
- for just over 300 quid
- and get yourself a snapdragon 870
- handset that can absolutely piss through
- any android game out there
- no ordinarily of course that pocket
- launch by itself would have been more
- than enough to keep any selfish showed
- gadgets fan
- pleasantly moist for the rest of the
- week but that really was just the tip
- of the tech iceberg or if you will the
- sauce in the sausage sandwich because
- we've still got over half a dozen
- launchers left to go
- all i can say is thank christ for
- caffeine
- next up came the oneplus 9 series which
- for now is just a duo no sign of that
- oneplus 9 light that we were all holding
- out for
- of course as usual oneplus had pretty
- much entirely leaked both of these
- phones in the fortnight or so before the
- actual launch event leaving about as
- much to the imagination as the average
- centerfold in big and bouncy magazine
- i mean seriously those guys are even
- worse than keeping secrets than my
- five-year-old and that's saying
- something but you know who needs a bit
- of surprise and intrigue
- now both of these shiny wee jobbies pack
- in the snapdragon 888 chipset backed by
- shag loads of ram plus you've got the
- latest oxygen os ui
- and 65 watt wired charging while the pro
- gets into some serious willy wave and
- courtesy of a flipping huge 6.7 inch
- quad hd plus amoled screen
- you've got upgraded camera tech
- including the telephoto lens water
- resistant design
- and super fast wireless charging and you
- can check out full unboxings of both
- these smartphones as well as a
- comparison between the two so you can
- see which one might be best for you if
- you are tempted
- right so that's two down several more to
- go you know what
- coffee it's time to get onto the good
- stuff on wednesday it was the turn of
- realme who
- finally properly launched the realme 8
- pro which brings the heat to poco with
- its respectable specs on a budget
- you've got a poppy amoled screen i'll be
- at the 60 hertz effort plus strong
- battery life
- 50 watt fast charging 5g support and a
- respectable 108 megapixel snapper
- slapped on that rather controversially
- branded arse my full review is once
- again live right now
- so if you want to see that realme eight
- pro barrel then have at it
- right where were we up to um thursday
- thursday which had two more
- smartphone launchers one of which was
- from our great mates motorola
- first up on thursday though came this
- delightful pair from vivo the x60 pro
- and the x60 pro
- plus and by now i'm not going to lie
- people my skull is just a jumble of
- specs
- so many goddamn phones i think they had
- some displays of some description
- and some memory and the pro plus has a
- fake leather back which is proper lush
- but the big story here is that zeiss
- branded camera tech including some
- proper gimbal stabilization
- and an absolute shed load of features
- and tools to piddle about with
- and then next up yes came that motorola
- which turned out to be the moto g100
- the most powerful g series phone yet
- sporting the same snapdragon 870 chipset
- as that poco f3 fella like honestly it
- does seem like a bit of a strange
- curious move for the moto g series which
- i always associated with
- solid everyday specs for the undemanding
- user to you know just make sure that
- apps run smoothly
- not to you know get gaming on ginge and
- impact on maximum detail levels
- even more unusual is the docking feature
- of the moto g100 and yes before your
- mind goes to disgustingly filthy places
- i'm talking about an
- actual dock for hooking up to a big
- screen so you can see my lovely bald
- head in super sized glory
- lush not that the 6.7 inch ips screen is
- particularly compact
- of course and the moto g100 also serves
- up a 5 000 milliamp battery
- stock android 11 ui and ai driven camera
- tech with bonus glow and ring action
- looks just like mine after i had that
- vindaloo last night and you know what i
- think that was actually
- all of the smartphones that were
- launched this week hello bloody luya
- praised the baby jesus
- and you know what i haven't even begun
- to touch on all the other tech that
- launched this week including small
- watches like the amaze
- fits a t-rex pro and uh the uh
- polar ignite 2 bit of blingy smartwatch
- there but you know what i think we're
- done here because i'm starting to feel
- the urge to go and wrap my lips around
- my cos exhaust pipe which of course
- means that
- it's time for the part of the show that
- is only just about preferable to
- the exhaust pipe option it's viewer
- comments
- viewer comments so lots of people
- may have spotted me using the oneplus 9
- pro in last week sure
- uh yeah i keep again i've got to keep
- the phone out of you
- uh because you crafty buggers are proper
- eagle-eyed aren't you uh so first
- comment of this week etienne says uh
- over two minutes before the first your
- mum joke you're slipping fella
- uh yeah christ and i've got like half a
- video here without doing a single one
- either
- don't worry i'll try and keep your mum
- on my lips more often that's how she
- likes it
- uh next up mohammed says lovely weather
- here in barbados in the caribbean
- okay seriously no bad audience bad
- audience next up ali says haha i feel
- your pin
- sitting here in canada i'm expecting
- more snore next weekend so cheers to
- that
- oh cheers indeed uh sympathies for sure
- yeah my parents used to live there back
- in the day uh well back in the day but
- they decided they couldn't hack it they
- actually had to flee the bad weather and
- go live in sunderland
- instead and when people are fleeing your
- country to go to sunderland for more
- sunshine
- that's where you know things are
- uh next up the one joel says salutes
- from uh
- okay good luck uh scalefte
- uh in northern sweden about one and a
- half meters of snow still hanging around
- jaisus that's like taller than me i
- would actually be fully enveloped in
- snow if i live there
- which thankfully i don't next week lords
- will melt and we'll all drown
- so yeah shut it you live in a southern
- country ah yeah no fair play but yeah i
- mean here in the uk it's a little bit
- chilly
- uh i've definitely got some pokey nipple
- action on the go might have to go stick
- a hoodie on in a bit or something but
- that's about as bad as it
- it's got this week uh tc says greetings
- from nyc
- oh man i missed that place used to go to
- so many launches there back in the day
- thanks corvid uh looking forward to the
- p50 and deep dive
- into harmony os yeah i really really am
- um just
- yeah just not been loving the half-baked
- android on recent huawei smartphones
- it's just not the same and of course how
- many us is still gonna be a hard sell
- because you know android and ios have
- been around for so bloody long that
- everyone's won one or the other you know
- they got their apps they've got their
- system they've got all the setup but you
- know hopefully it'll come with some
- decent app support and
- it'll be nice to have a breath of fresh
- air something a bit different
- and next up for had says i wish youtube
- had a super like button like
- tinder i would definitely smash it here
- i don't know what that means because i'm
- old and not
- fun uh but yeah sounds good thanks uh
- jay barford simply says my
- favorite weekly shower of uh cheers
- j john edwards says black coffee with
- guinness
- baileys and whiskey oh and sambuca
- i was kind of on board there until the
- sambuca bit that's another one of those
- drinks that makes me dry heave every
- time i so much as sniff it
- had too many bad experiences on that as
- a youngin although at least i've never
- had it quite as bad as the person
- uh at my old college who uh had a flame
- in sambuca forgot to blow it out before
- lifting it to their face and they'll
- singed their eyebrows off although
- i'm not sure if that's the thing that
- actually happened or if it's just one of
- those weird urban legends
- uh yeah it's all it's all a bit messy up
- there right now uh next up charles
- copley says
- next time add some jameson's or baileys
- to that coffee uh i do like an irish
- coffee with a splash of jameson's um oh
- actually that should be the other way
- around i like a jameson's with a splash
- of coffee
- and he continues also if you ever visit
- nj
- disco fries gravy on fries like poutine
- without the cheese curds
- um is that nj as in new jersey i never
- realized you guys had
- gravy on chips over there i mean that's
- like basically the northern diet
- uh you know you can't have dry chips
- you've got to have chips with your gravy
- or curry sauce also uh also acceptable
- uh next up rick's tray says
- review and phones dot dot dot such hard
- work
- lol um yeah i'm fair play as much as i
- and one
- about this job let's face it it's a
- pretty goddamn simple job that even a 14
- year old
- could quite happily do definitely a
- great way to keep the build collectors
- out there though it used to be a lot
- better when i used to be able to go to
- actual events
- uh with actual free bars
- booze that you don't have to pay for
- nothing tastes sweeter
- next up jedi polar bear says i've been
- watching techspert and fred's dibner
- my adverts are for preparation age and
- gaviscon there's a saturday night right
- there
- hi too i'm here um the question is which
- am i am i a cause of indigestion or am i
- a pin in the ass
- the next object sorry if i've completely
- mauled the pronunciation of that says
- here's another fan from finland
- good on you mate uh after your fun facts
- i don't feel so finnish anymore since i
- don't drink any coffee
- i hate metal music and i haven't even
- tried reindeer meat ever
- damn dude i mean you know according to
- the internet that's all there is to do
- in finland and we all know
- all too well that the internet never
- lies next up seth says how do i get a
- copy of the akira books nice and easy uh
- there's a website called book depository
- where i go for uh quite a lot of my
- graphic novels and you know manga stuff
- got a great little selection of stuff on
- there and generally well priced as well
- and they do i can't remember if i
- mentioned this already
- deliver worldwide sorry my brain video
- is turning into jelly today
- oh dear um so anyone else get nervous by
- mid friday morning in case chris has
- actually drunk himself into oblivion
- um okay a little behind the scenes
- secret here i usually shoot textbook
- weekly on a thursday
- uh because by friday morning i'm usually
- just a hungover grumpy
- mess of human puke occasionally there
- are exceptions to that rule of course
- like last week where i had to pick a
- competition winner but rest assured
- most of my heavy drinking is done in the
- afternoons when my stomach is well
- padded with a vat of coffee uh next up
- mark brennan says how do you get into
- reviewing techmate i'd love to do it
- uh well personally i had an i.t job that
- i absolutely hated
- so i took a journalism course in my
- spare time past my nctgs then i managed
- to get a
- very poorly paid job at future
- publishing where i basically
- benchmarked about a dozen laptops a day
- in a converted broom closet
- oh by the way if you've ever fancied
- having your own private household
- sauna but you can't be bothered with all
- the logistics of getting one installed
- all you need to do is just
- clear out a cupboard and then put 12
- beefy gaming laptops in there
- and have them running at full pelt that
- is a one-way ticket
- to swetsville and then long story short
- basically i ended up working on mobile
- choice magazine then recombu that was
- where i got into the youtube
- so it took about a decade or so to
- transition from i.t
- job like haters into the youtube
- shenanigans i'm sure there's much easier
- quicker ways of doing it
- and to be honest most youtubers seem to
- just basically
- get a camera of some description even a
- smartphone camera because they're
- generally quite good these days stick a
- mic into it
- and then just start banging on about
- whatever you're interested in and next
- up mark flower says can i make a guest
- appearance on textbook weekly i don't
- want to say anything just sit in the
- background drinking budvar with a
- tequila chaser like some drunken
- sidekick
- i dude if you're bringing budvar and
- tequila you're more than welcome
- although the problem is that if i was to
- get a sidekick i'd kind of need a sober
- sidekick
- and they can you know take the reins
- when i'm utterly smashed off my tits
- uh randall tech info says where's the
- merch i would totally rock a texpert
- t-shirt while using a textbook bottle
- opener to open a bottle of spurt and eel
- not gonna lie spurt and eel does sound
- frigging awesome i mean i've never
- really
- even thought about doing my own merch
- because it all seems a bit wanky to me
- to be perfectly honest and uh you know
- i'd probably go to all the trouble of
- you know printing out these tech spurt
- t-shirts and then it would literally be
- like four people would buy one and it
- wouldn't just say a text first on it it
- would actually be a massive jizz and
- because you know you caught you
- can't
- half-ass these things you've got to go
- full in you've got to go balls deep
- uh oh and run the randall tekken 4
- continues uh
- also no love for kickboxer um yeah no
- kickboxes perfectly fine after a few
- wheels uh definitely an enjoyable bit of
- entertainment but let's face it it's no
- time cop
- next up joseph says is the year 72 worth
- it despite the lack of 5g
- but i haven't personally tested out the
- a72 um and obviously you've got the
- likes of the poco f3 again which is just
- such a considerable bargain with that
- incredible performance and everything
- for
- like a hundred quid less than that ear
- 72. alternatively i'm also still a
- massive fan of the redmi note
- 10 pro that's a fantastic blower pixel
- fourier as well if you
- your priority is the camera tech so
- hopefully that helps hopefully the words
- are coming out of my mouth are making
- some sort of sense anyway because i'm
- sorry
- it's been a long ass week um next week
- in fact let's make this the last one
- because i'm
- running out of time again uh spangrol
- says i'm a bit more of an exotic than a
- finnish fan
- uh just showing the love from a
- trinidadian fan oh trinidad very nice
- uh living in poland what yeah i know
- what you're thinking what kind of arse
- leaves the caribbean to go to a country
- like poland
- oh well it's all because of the l word
- oh lesbians are fair play a bit you know
- i've been to
- both walsall and krakov in poland and
- gotta say i do absolutely adore it over
- there the weather's just as cack as the
- uk
- unfortunately but a good bit of hearty
- grub and some
- booze that as cheap as out which
- basically immediately gives it a four
- star trip advisor written in my books
- and very friendly punters in the bars as
- well who are all too
- happy to mock my piss-poor
- pronunciations of
- the ridiculously named beer like javette
- i believe was one of them or
- zveyet as i was pronouncing it at the
- time anyway
- missy poland hopefully one day at some
- point once the world's less crazy
- but yeah anyway that's all the comments
- we've got time for this week thank you
- thank you thank you so much to everyone
- who commented in last week's show please
- do
- smash your comments down in the comments
- box below and we'll get through
- as many of those as possible and next
- week and now for some strange reason you
- haven't quite had your fill of meats
- banging on about tech stuff in a fairly
- brain-dead fashion well i
- did make a guest appearance this week in
- tech radar's noise canceling podcast so
- i believe you can stream it on their
- youtube channel it's also live right now
- in the likes of apple podcasts google
- podcasts all that good stuff
- and that was recorded wednesday this
- week so i still had some of my faculties
- but don't expect too much
- sense to be made and then next week
- which is looking delightfully
- barren compared with this week thank
- christ so you've got the xiaomi
- me 11 ultra launch on a monday uh so
- hopefully might be able to bring you
- some hands on stuff for that although i
- haven't actually had one
- arrive here at texpert towers just yet
- so we'll see
- it's big dell webcast on um wednesday
- the 31st so they might be launching some
- new uh
- sexy laptops and other shenanigans there
- and that's basically it
- glory glory be i might actually get some
- sleep
- sleep anyhow again a massive massive
- thank you to all half a million plus of
- you you are
- absolutely wonderful and i love you all
- very very dearly indeed
- uh please do put subscribe to that
- notifications below if you haven't done
- already
- join me next week uh there'll be lots
- more stuff going on basically all of the
- overflow from this week the likes of the
- amir's fit
