The Quest for the Perfect Smartphone: A Journey to Nail All Five Pillars

As I sit here pondering the concept of the perfect smartphone, I am reminded of a question that has been on my mind for quite some time: "Have you ever seen the perfect smartphone?" The answer is no, I have not. In fact, it seems like every time we think we've found a great smartphone, there's always one little thing holding it back. But today, perhaps today, we may finally figure something out.

For those who are unaware, the five pillars of a great smartphone are: great battery, great build, great performance, great camera, and great display. It sounds like an easy task, but trust me, it's harder than it sounds. To nail all five of these pillars, you need to have a device that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. So, let's dive into each of the five pillars and explore what makes a smartphone truly great.

Great Battery: A Removable Powerhouse

When it comes to battery life, there's no denying that smartphones are becoming increasingly power-hungry devices. But, what if I told you that some smartphones come with removable batteries? Yes, you read that right! The Nokia phone we're about to review has a removable battery, which is not only a great feature but also a sign of quality craftsmanship.

The 900mAh battery in this smartphone may seem small compared to the behemoths we see today, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in efficiency. With a screen that never turns off, you can expect around 2-3 weeks of usage on a single charge. And, with the removable battery, you'll be able to easily replace it when it runs out, extending the life of your device.

Great Build: A Legend in Its Own Right

When it comes to build quality, there's no denying that some smartphones are truly legendary. The Nokia phone we're reviewing today is one such example. With its sleek design and durable materials, this smartphone is built to last. It's not just about aesthetics; the build quality of this device is top-notch.

The phone's thickness may be a bit more than what some users prefer, but it's a small price to pay for the premium feel and durability that comes with it. Plus, with its mild water resistance and dust-proofing, you can enjoy your phone without worrying about damaging it in the rain or from accidental spills.

Great Performance: A Snappy Experience

Performance is one of the most critical aspects of any smartphone, and when it comes to this Nokia device, it delivers. With a snappy user interface that's designed for speed, this phone is perfect for those who value convenience and efficiency. Whether you're swiping through menus or launching apps, this phone responds with lightning-fast reflexes.

But what really sets this phone apart is its ability to handle demanding tasks with ease. From gaming to video editing, this device can keep up with even the most intense activities. And, with its built-in games, you'll never be bored again.

Great Camera: A Camera That's Worth Using

The camera is another area where smartphones often fall short. But not in this case. The Nokia phone we're reviewing today has a camera that truly delivers. With no camera bump or any other design flaws, this phone's camera is a testament to the device's attention to detail.

Whether you're taking landscapes, portraits, or just casual snaps, the camera on this phone will always deliver. And, with its built-in software features like HDR and night mode, you'll be able to capture even the most intricate details. No need to worry about mediocre photos – this camera is worth using every time.

Great Display: A Complete Package

Finally, we have the display. While it may not be as pixel-dense as some other smartphones on the market, the display on this Nokia device is still a work of art. With vibrant colors and crisp text, you'll be able to enjoy your favorite shows or browse the web with ease.

But what really sets this display apart is its flexibility. Whether you're watching videos or browsing social media, this phone's screen will always adapt to your needs. And, with its built-in features like HDR and night mode, you'll never have to worry about mediocre visuals again.

The Verdict: An 8/10 for the Nokia Phone

So, after reviewing each of the five pillars that make a smartphone truly great, it's time to give our verdict. While this Nokia phone may not be perfect – there are still some areas where it falls short – it's clear that the manufacturer has put a lot of thought into creating a device that checks all the right boxes.

With its removable battery, great build quality, snappy performance, camera, and complete display, this smartphone is an 8/10 in our book. Whether you're looking for a budget-friendly option or a premium device that will last you for years to come, this Nokia phone is definitely worth considering.

April Fool's Day Surprise: A Little Something Extra

As it turns out, we had a little surprise up our sleeves for April Fool's Day. Not only did we review the Nokia phone, but we also decided to dive into some more old-school smartphones and explore what makes them so interesting.

From the Nexus One to the original Droid, there are plenty of retro smartphones that are worth exploring. And, with their quirky design choices and innovative features, they're a great reminder that even the most modern smartphones have roots in the past.

So, if you're feeling nostalgic or just want to see how far smartphones have come, be sure to check out our retrospective on some of the oldest smartphones around. Who knows – you might just discover your next favorite device!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what is up guys I'm kbd here and think about this have you ever seen the perfect smartphone no right have you ever seen a smartphone hit like all five of the pillars of a great smartphone all of those on the nose 100% it seems like it never happens it seems like every time you have a new great smartphone there's always one little thing holding it back but I think today that may change today we may figure something out here for those of you who don't already know the Five Pillars of a great smartphone from me anyway are great battery great build great performance great camera and great display if you can make a smartphone that Nails all five of those things then you've made a great smartphone that's worth buying it's harder than it sounds but that's something to get into so okay great battery life yes this phone has that it may only be a 900 mAh battery but number one it's removable and number two it's not powering the most power hungry specs in the world so I can pretty much guarantee it lasts longer than your current phone this one seems to be getting about 2 to three weeks of screen on time considering the screen never turns off great build quality check do I even have to convince you it's a well-built phone you already know it's kind of a legend for that uh it's a little bit thick but I've said over and over again that I don't mind thicker phones it's mildly water resistant it's dust resistant drop resistant shatter resistant time resistant this uh this thing is really solid great performance well this thing is Snappy as hell I've been flipping through the UI a lot uh not really multitasking but more just flipping really fast through the menu options and I can see pretty much no lag at all so performance here is is also great I threw some pretty big numbers at the calculator and after some keyw work it seems to handle it just fine not really sure why more manufacturers don't go with physical buttons but that was really satisfying and I'm not really much of a gamer but this phone actually is such a performance Beast that it they they just preload games on it they just have Games built in so I picked snake 2 which seemed pretty straightforward and uh I pretty much crushed the high score it did take a while which shows it can definitely hold a lot in the ram I don't I don't know how much RAM it has but I swear it it definitely held its own and then great camera uh Nokia actually took a really courageous approach with this one and just straight up didn't include a camera at all I mean you know what they say if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all well if you're not going to include the absolute best camera why waste any space just don't put it in at all so you actually save you don't have anything to worry about on the back of the phone no smudges and also no camera bump on the back so huge bonus points there and then great display okay there's not nearly enough pixels on this one I'm going to have to take some points off but overall pretty complete package I give it an8 out of 10 I'll definitely throw the wallpaper in the description too for those of you asking for it okay so obviously you've gone to your subscription box and figured out what day it is figured this would be a fun little project for April Fool's Day happy April Fool's Day it's funny though in this this little project of making this video I never I learned a lot about these phones like I never owned a Nokia 3310 this was before I owned any phones at all so I actually bought like four of them I this is probably just past Windows phone and market share because of this there's a lot of really interesting things this phone does uh for one thing it boots up super fast I kind of miss when phones booted up just like that actually has an option to update the software I didn't try that because it was hard enough to get the SIM card working but just a lot of cool stuff so that's pretty much it thank you for watching this one maybe know if you want to see other actually old phones like realistically covered in a video I have a Nexus one I have my first Smartphone the Droid but uh there's there's stuff out there that we can make videos about either way thanks again for watching again this is your annual warning to like not pay too much attention to your Twitter feed today but if you
