**Unboxing and Review of the Pipo J5 Plus**

We've been asked to get Wi-Fi from our usual sources, but it seems that this device has a connectivity issue that's a deal-breaker. We've tried connecting to our usual hotspots, but the signal just can't penetrate far enough. With the latest technology, it's hard to believe that something like this is even on the market.

We've decided to test out a mobile hotspot from this Galaxy s8 to see if we can get some connectivity going. And it looks like it worked! We were able to connect to the internet and do a quick search. But let's be real, with the Wi-Fi range being an issue, it's not exactly the most impressive feature.

The screen on the Pipo J5 Plus is... unique. It's not exactly easy to see what's going on when you first turn it on, but once you get used to it, it's kind of nice. The typing experience is also a bit of an issue - it's not terrible, but it's definitely not great either.

The casing on the Pipo J5 Plus is rugged and durable, which is definitely a plus. But with all the other issues we've mentioned so far, it's hard to see how this could be worth $85. We've seen better phones for less money, and even some of those have more impressive features than this.

**Question Time**

We're now going to open up the comments and answer any questions you may have about the Pipo J5 Plus. Who has a question?

One of our viewers, Splash Myers, asked us what we think of the new goldish color from the latest iPhones. We haven't had a chance to see it in person, but based on some photos we've seen, it looks like it's going for a dim, brushed finish. We don't really have an opinion on it - we tend to prefer darker colors ourselves, but options are always good.

Another viewer asked if they should use the Pipo J5 Plus as their daily device. One of our team members joked that it would be like having a toy phone, and while it's not terrible in terms of usability, it's definitely not practical for everyday use.

We also got a question from someone who thinks the Pipo J5 Plus might actually be a rebranded ZTE Axon. While we can't confirm or deny this, it's definitely possible that it could be some kind of rebadged device.

Finally, one of our viewers asked which iPhone they think has more bang for its buck - the iPhone 8 or the iPhone 10. We've heard rumors that the iPhone 10 is going to start at $1,000, but we're not sure if that's actually true. However, when you consider the options available on the market right now, it's hard to justify spending that kind of money.

In general, we think that the smartphone market has become incredibly saturated with great options for all budgets. Whether you're looking at Apple or Samsung, there are always going to be better choices out there for less money. And in terms of raw bang for your buck, we think that the iPhone 8 might actually represent a slightly better value than some other options on the market.

Overall, while the Pipo J5 Plus has its moments - particularly in terms of durability and ruggedness - we just can't bring ourselves to recommend it at this price point.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enback with another video you're noticing right now there's something very strange in front of me it's a tiny little box can they tell how tiny it is with a tiny little phone in fact that is a two point four five inch smartphone and the other thing you notice immediately is the battlefield 3 image on the front well you can see it's chopped off on the side it's obviously not a mobile game and probably not approved by battlefield or the developers to be used on this box though maybe that's why they chopped it off no lawsuit we didn't use the D we got to the L battlefield 3 this phone is crazy okay this is eighty three dollars eighty four dollars I bought it off Amazon it claims to be waterproof ante fall and dust proof as well and it's all in this tiny little package now the brand name as far as the listing on Amazon is hip hip hip hip hip hip ooh keep up among us I'm gonna put it in the description what else does it say on it alright the only specks are on the bottom here model j5 + 3g wcdma 2100 megahertz and GSM 850 900 1900 ok cool let's open this up oh I said it was gonna be tiny look at this a little screen protector included and this is the phone oh wow look at that little rugged thing there now it does have a screen cover I'm gonna remove that here you go now the screen is kind of gross looking look at this there look at that filthy is this the power switch up thought that looks like the power switch volume up and down there on the bottom you have this covered portion where your headphones and your micro USB go alright here's some some regular size phones pixel look at that fits right in there 7 plus oh my now this is kind of weird on the back there's like there's a plate with some writing on it can you see this jet it's like this subtle little writing on there but it's mirror ysf en I mean that doesn't really you can't even really say that is that what is the significance of that I don't know in the top corner there I see a little tiny camera which I do not expect much of also in the box some paperwork a user manual we built our handset to give user what we believe user really want so they've also included micro USB cable I assume yes there you go you charge it up a screwdriver you don't see that every time I guess you could open this up maybe we should I didn't expect to be doing this immediately but why not am I gonna break this before I even turn it on well how do you get a SIM card in here the SIM card is inserted into the back press the knob and open the battery cover off there's no there's no knob and battery cover off it you have to split the case open to get the SIM card into here check this out so this is just like a little indent there and you'll put your flathead in and kind of like split the casing like that and it'll pop off okay so it's kind of nerve-wracking you don't say to do that but that's essentially what you have to do and then from within there you can remove the battery and you have two SIM card slots look think jam-packed it in there and also a micro SD card slot right now I'm gonna put this part back on cuz I don't need to put a sim card in right now okay it's the ones in the back that are actually the structural screws and the ones on the front are just for show these little tiny ones so it matches the back and the reason I'm guessing they don't have them installed when you first open the phone is because they know you're gonna have to crack it open to put the SIM card in so save you the time having to remove them alright the phone itself what are we dealing with here what are we working with a let's try to boot it up Oh booting mediatek processor okay Android that's familiar and comforting it's also kind of strange that there's no set up sequence like who set this up does that make you feel confident seeing it already set up there so the only thing that exists on the main screen here is a phone icon pretty standard Android phone app and then the remaining apps in here what do we have messaging Google settings Maps Play Store pretty straightforward I mean it is Android you can put whatever you want alright let's test out this camera on a small little screen it looks okay probably not for long probably not when we make it bigger I mean will can can be the judge you can getting close on that what do you say pretty dim not the best look at the fingerprints on there already now I'm gonna go ahead and connect to Wi-Fi ooh not the strongest Wi-Fi it's taking a while and these two things that it sensed already are the lights these are these lights have Wi-Fi built-in they're right here and it's got like two bars for each I see nothing for our actual network Oh No and now drops one of these one of the lights the lights are right here and they brought yep there it is one bar is it's gonna work probably not oh look at the typing boldly let's see if it's even gonna connect here so it's the weakest Wi-Fi I've ever seen on any smartphone ever feature here Oh connected holy we're we are barely connected to Wi-Fi right now oh look at that the default home page has been set up is Gmail CPM because the person that input it for this device couldn't do Sophia's as small the keyboard is they put a bean staring at oh can I even what can I say if it can't get Wi-Fi from we've never had a device you're the kid connect I mean with that level of Wi-Fi this is borderline useless all right let's try a hotspot from this Galaxy s8 right beside him okay mobile hotspot is on if they can't connect to this well well there you go I don't know what to tell you come on Oh Galaxy s8 full bars okay so it's totally a range thing there we go we're connected now let's try this again I go back to the browser let's do a quick search here I'm gonna try to type out unbox therapy hopefully you'll guess how soon will I guess you and B yes I can do that oh how about the latest video look how much text is shown its the mo stuff and then that's that's what you get is there's not you can't fit a lot on there okay now we will get a quick speaker demo out of it and subtitles pre enabled that's pretty uh hey it's pretty harsh it's tough to say much about it I guess it's kind of unique don't spend 85 bucks on this you can get an actual decent phone for like 100 bucks like something that's used poll that you can connect to Wi-Fi I mean the Wi-Fi range thing that's that's a deal-breaker on its own it's kind of nice that it's different that it's rugged but with the connectivity issue the tiny nosov the typing and so on the way you have to crack it open to get access inside the Wi-Fi thing is the deal-breaker you got to be able to connect your impressing no one Oh check out my mini little phone like yeah what can you do on it bring up some youtube or something no I don't really do that too much save your 83 bucks you know I guess that's the message here it's not opting but there's a clear-cut kind of answer but I think today is that day all right don't buy the pipo j5 plus you probably already knew that but now it's confirmed it's been confirmed right here on unbox therapy who's bringing you the heat who's bringing you the truth uncle Lou that's who all right so we might as well try to do Question Time on the device here so let's bring that browser back up and the most recent video is like it's full bars right here right there on the end of the table it's down to two bars now you tube doc you can't you cannot press back dot you cannot press that dawn I broke it alright question time let's see what the people of the unbox therapy community are talking about today so here's a question from splash Myers on Twitter what do you think of the new goldish color from the new iPhones now I've seen this I mean I haven't handled it myself but it's this kind of dim brushed faded type of gold I don't know I guess I don't mind it it wouldn't be my choice would not be my first choice I tend to go for the darker color phones but hey options are good you got it working oh it just died it just turned up would you use the Lambo phone as your daily device that comes from Jay Wolf's no and to be honest I don't think it's a terrible device I saw a bunch of people in the comments saying that they thought that it was some kind of rebranded ZTE axon and I think they might be right although maybe a little more than rebranding because they've completely reworked the casing around it but if that's the phone that it is yes it's incredibly overpriced but it's usable objectively speaking which iPhone do you think has more bang for its buck is it the iPhone 8 or the iPhone 10 we've all heard that this iPhone 10 is gonna be $1,000 to start which is a lot of money now some people on Twitter they hit me up they said thousand dollars is not just not that much I love it I'm buying it I don't care that's fine like everybody you decide what you want to spend your cash on but the thing is the smartphone market it hasn't been sitting still there are many great choices out there for half that price now and even less than that can Apple continue to charge these exorbitant figures I'm not forgetting about you either Samsung with the note 8 I'm an equal-opportunity kind of guy here I think they're both quite expensive given the other options on the market so from that standpoint I think you could argue that the iPhone 8 might represent the better values all right so there you have it that wraps up this video thank you very much for watching remember if you want to be included
