That makes more sense. To sell it for only $10 more than what that tag suggests they bought it for, they’d be losing money after shipping and wish’s cut.
If it's anything like my old computer, that also had Windows 10, it's just an issue that sometimes happens with Windows 10. I tried a billion things to get that to go away, and while there are some good temporary fixes, I never found one that made it go away forever. I didn't have any virus/malware/keylogger or any other issues that I could find. It just loved jumping to 100% usage soon after starting.
@@slaughterman44 It was slow and freezing. The only reason I ever noticed that spike was because I was investigating why my computer would suddenly run like crap - like I had some really intensive program running, but it wasn't. If you did stuff right as the computer fully booted, it would run fine. Once that spike started - pbbt. I took pretty good care of that computer from the get-go too. Some people said certain bloatware and background programs will have massive memory leaks and there were a bunch of suggestions on how to stop it. Like I said, I tried a ton of stuff, but only a couple things actually worked as decent fixes, and even those would sometimes not work - possibly due to a Windows update reversing or interfering with the fix. It was frustrating.
about that Samsung flip and the cover screen, I am kinda thinking it might simply have been disabled in the settings as that is something you can do. So the screen might not be broken and simply disabled ....... Settings -> Smart Assistance -> Smart cover -> Disable / Enable
I remember the 2013 Droid series. My grandparents used to have these and I grew up with those phones. I still have them, but one of them went in the washer 6 years ago, the other one broke and the 3rd one I still have.
A lot of places will simply take overstock or warehouse items and sell them as refurbish to get rid of them. Lots of liquidation companies will just sell stuff they got from buying out a warehouse as a refurb to avoid issues with warranty etc on older stuff.
???? what? how do you not get pure black on something that's off. what you said is plain wrong. I've seen that exact model before, and it has a proper OLED panel. I have a Lumia 930 from the same year, and it still holds up very well to this day (no burn-in on mine either). I even have a Lumia 800 from 2011, and it also has the typical inky blacks and punchy colors. Both phones still look amazing, the only thing dating the 800's display is its resolution.
@@mojave5661 look up vita screen uniformity. I’ve owned several OLED devices from the same year and it bothered me when the screen would look blotchy during scene transitions.
I used to work for RIM which was the maker of blackberry , had to sign 2 NDAs back then while testing the firmware and components on the z10 up to the z3s , i also made countless of those classic blackberries everyones used to seeing lol
The original Motorola droid with the full size slide out keyboard, was the single greatest phone ever made. It helped me drive 26 hrs straight from PA to Florida. It also helped me at my job as assistant manager for the census bureau. Best phone of all time!
The AirPods Pro are unfortunately fake. I've seen a pair just like those and they have finiky controls and if you look at the grill on the back of each Pod you can see it's a textured sticker. They are really really really close to the original though.
I still have a whole collection of my BlackBerry phones, and just yesterday was reminiscing about Time Shift and how ahead of its time that was. Creating a perfect picture that never existed, was amazing.
It's so weird that you keep in saying that it's a gamble what you'll get, when everything you got was great and the support you got for returning the item was great. It seems like you just don't trust them, which is fine, but the items you got gave you no reason not to trust them, and to say "I think I got lucky" is so weird and biased it made me feel like "wait, why am I even watching you test a service if you don't even trust your own test". Makes no sense
I mean they are apple fan bois over here. So..... Can't expect them to know what a good computer is. Better off getting a ultra cheap Windows laptop with 5x the spec's of this trash apple, and putting Linux on it. Also those mini PC's are absolute garbonzo if you don't shell out the cash for a decent one. For anything other then web browsing that is and even that is taxing on these little guys.
probably from windows update from booting up and going online, i see this on tons of lower end systems, windows 10 will peg 2core CPUs on boot for stupid things, once finished the CPU usage is fine but for a while it will be very slow. Microsoft lately has just made windows a pain to deal with, and it seems to get worse with every new version.
I've bought 3 laptops and a iPad from wish and they were all good. I did learn to make sure to check out the seller, make sure they were verified and they were a USA shipper 💜💜
my mate had a blackberry z10 and it was kinda cool as it could play youtube audio in background which at that time wasnt really thing on most phones and is now a premium feature it wasnt really any good in for much else though
13:30 - Austin, its actually a GOOD thing the battery app was installed; that was likely whoever was refurbishing the phone checking that the battery was still in good, working order! great refurbisher! edit: it does make you wonder why they don't put notes like 'outside screen non-functional' if they can go as far as installing a battery app to check the health of it though - that being said, id still take a $300 z flip with a non functioning outside screen over the brand new price tag ANY day
YOOOOO!!! I had that Lumia back in the day. I actually LOVED it. There was a rad feature on it where you could use the main camera and navigate from maps just by pulling up maps, going vertical, and then it would show you waypoints and distance between shops or restaurants nearby. I used that in Austin Texas during SXSW several times and it was super accurate.
Too bad you didn't fiddle a bit with Lumia 735 camera. Nokia did some good stuff with Lumia 7xx to 9xx line on the audio side while filming. If I remember correctly, the 735 had a pretty decent stereo recording capability.
I have fond memories of the windows phones, the nokia camera’s were honestly better than any other phone at the time imo, the only thing that windows phones didn’t have was better app support. If they actually gave them 3rd party app support, they would’ve been a actual competitor to android/ios. I might have to get one just to preserve.
Interesting the former price labels aren’t removed. It might even help make it seem used with the box being destroyed a bit with the label removed, lol.
I had that Nokia back in 2012/2013 and it is still one of my favorite phones. Watching anime from the countless anime pirating apps is something I did till it eventually died a couple years ago 😢
"Ouch, 408 cycles!" Meanwhile me with a 2019 Macbook Pro with a battery that INFLATED in the first year of owning it and 2555 cycles. Battery actually lasts a lot still, like 6˜8 hours which is more than a plethora of Windows laptops.
TBF though, anytime you buy refurbished, you roll the dice. Whether that be from Wish, Aliexpress, eBay, Amazon etc(when you buy from a bulk seller and not an individual seller who posts specific pictures for the item and lists anything wrong). The only real question is how they handles returns or refunds when you don't get what was laid out.
How to absolutely destroy that Chuwi system... you can buy a Nuc8 for about the same price, and guess what? It has an 8th gen intel instead of a 5th gen.
I remember back in the day when I was maybe 13-14 I would buy cheap target phones that I would hide from my mom (I wasn't allowed to have a smartphone) and I got the Windows phone at one point. I kinda liked the setup but didn't at the same time, because I wasn't used to it. Seeing that was re-living part of my childhood.
This was really good, a lot of these Wish/Temu bits are just fun novelty videos, but there was some good insight into what does or does not make this worth trying.
I am so glad ken and matt both said "D R O I D" when austin opened the droid mini because i said the exact same thing when he was looking at the listing for it
I actually have the Red Blackberry Z10. They had good ideas but sadly, too little, too late and never followed through with most. They gave up on backwards compatibility with their old ecosystem and their Android compatibility was...behind a few versions of Android. Sadly, my Z10's battery puffed up, so it's not in the best condition, though at least it's swapable.
That nostalgia reminded me of what asus did like a decade ago They had this phone and tablet 2 in 1 where you dock the phone into the tablet and it functions to a tablet, man that was a time
I bought a chuwi core box and switch out cpu, ram, hard drive (all total about 160) and a really great productivity computer. Mind you most of what I do is word processing, email, video watch so not real demanding. Really don't think i could play games on it.
I worked in CS for a phone provider (in the US), and Blackberries were big in that market sector for at least a few years after they had basically disappeared from the public eye. The other big phone govt agencies loved was the old HTC brick phones, they even made an alternate model with no camera and such specifically for high security govt areas.
I'm a pretty hardcore Linux user - but not for the reasons you might expect. I miss my Windows phone. I figured I was perfectly safe 'cause ain't no malware author going to bother targeting a device with so few users! Actually, I like it because it was a pretty solid experience. If more folks had given it a shot, it might still be around and we'd have at least some competition besides Google and Apple.
Speaking of 2013 smartphones, the original Moto X was easily one of my favorite android phones. Great screen, replaceable battery, a curved back that just fit in my hand so so well.
2:37 Just want to say, Microsoft didn't purchase Nokia, it just bought the phone division of Nokia, and the rights to use the Nokia name and patents for some time. Nokia itself still exists and is doing fine, they just don't make consumer hardware anymore.
I remember getting a Droid 4 with the sliding keyboard for $35 on Amazon back in 2014. It had a built in hdmi so it was perfect for emulators. I used to play ps1 games on the TV with it using a Bluetooth ps4 controller. It seemed like emulators were the only thing that phone was good at, the camera was decent but it was slow as hell trying to do anything else
Refurbished???? I’m not sure about the shipping thing….Shipping from the US to PRC is expensive and and takes a while. When something is crap when ordering from the PRC i’ll take it as a loss and a “you shouldn’t have bought that” lesson.
I really enjoyed my Blackberry phones. The Z10 was not a big of exeption but according to my parents they always had issues to hear me right when I was on this phone. Not related to the location I was in. Everything was fine on my end though. Don't know what went wrong....
OMG I had the galaxy tab 3. It was my first ever mobile device that I got as a kid. Just seeing the tablet brings back soo many Minecraft PE nostalgic!
I still have a Tab 3 from when they were new, because I have yet to find a better remote control for anything and everything. I have a 200 dollar Harmony remote with a little screen sitting in a box of junk somewhere because it couldn't do half of what the ten year older Tab does, as easily as it does, while looking as good as it does. As long as it keeps charging, I don't think I'll ever need anything else than that old Samsung tablet with just the remote control app on it.
that macbook air's batter still has a few years in it, im rocking an early 2015 13 inch intel core i5 macbook air and its battery is way past its limit but itll still last a good hour and a half to two and a half hours on a full charge and its been used almost every day, if i traded it in to apple id get $80 back so its not worth getting rid of
I like how on the Chuwi, CPU usage was 100% just in task manager... To be honest, better buying a refurbed office PC off ebay. I see 4th gen i7's going for around $100 with a 480 GB SSD and 16GB dual channel memory. That said, both are bad options... You don't fully know what you're getting until it's shipped to you 80% of the time.
What would be awesome Austin if He upgrades the CHUWI to scary levels !!! And Then Does high end gaming on it , but has to fit everything in the chasis.
A galaxy tab for £80 they cost that new when they first released and they run like crap back then pmsl. I bet the storage is probably struggling to store the operating system.
Most smaller older pc’s can. Its a great way to have a retro pc on the go. So people even order pc’s as small as youre hand just to have a retro device on the road with windows!
How can you get mad that they paid 30 but you paid 40. They had to pay for tax on the item and ship it out to you as well as package it. They didn't make much....lol
I spend $344 on a Flip 3 refurb in excellent condition from Amazon. Was gonna do Back Market as their guarantee is spot on but couldn't find one. IMO, more than worth it compared to the Flip 5G Austin got. I'll spend the $60 any day to get a much better phone.
That headset probably wasn't purchased at clearance and resold, it's more likely that it came from a return or old stock palet purchased at auction.
I don't think so
@@xXVibrantSnowXxI do, liquidation pallets always has these labels and its a fairly common ecommerce strategy
That makes more sense. To sell it for only $10 more than what that tag suggests they bought it for, they’d be losing money after shipping and wish’s cut.

I have a 200 dollar Harmony remote with a little screen sitting in a box of junk somewhere because it couldn't do half of what the ten year older Tab does, as easily as it does, while looking as good as it does. As long as it keeps charging, I don't think I'll ever need anything else than that old Samsung tablet with just the remote control app on it.
that macbook air's batter still has a few years in it, im rocking an early 2015 13 inch intel core i5 macbook air and its battery is way past its limit but itll still last a good hour and a half to two and a half hours on a full charge and its been used almost every day, if i traded it in to apple id get $80 back so its not worth getting rid of
Loaded Lubuntu Linux on it fuck Mac os lol
I like how on the Chuwi, CPU usage was 100% just in task manager... To be honest, better buying a refurbed office PC off ebay. I see 4th gen i7's going for around $100 with a 480 GB SSD and 16GB dual channel memory. That said, both are bad options... You don't fully know what you're getting until it's shipped to you 80% of the time.
What would be awesome Austin if He upgrades the CHUWI to scary levels !!! And Then Does high end gaming on it , but has to fit everything in the chasis.
I used to have a Droid mini. I loved it!
A galaxy tab for £80 they cost that new when they first released and they run like crap back then pmsl. I bet the storage is probably struggling to store the operating system.
You can use that PC to do Retro Gaming right?
Most smaller older pc’s can. Its a great way to have a retro pc on the go. So people even order pc’s as small as youre hand just to have a retro device on the road with windows!
Just because the case charges on the phone doesn't mean it's real. The new AirReps are incredible and look/fit identical.
I literally had a galaxy tab 3 as a christmas present when they first came out as a kid lol
Would be cool to gut that little Chuwi desktop and do a fun little build video cramming the best gear you can into it.
How can you get mad that they paid 30 but you paid 40. They had to pay for tax on the item and ship it out to you as well as package it. They didn't make much....lol
I spend $344 on a Flip 3 refurb in excellent condition from Amazon. Was gonna do Back Market as their guarantee is spot on but couldn't find one. IMO, more than worth it compared to the Flip 5G Austin got. I'll spend the $60 any day to get a much better phone.
I still have my samsung tab 3 lite, works as well as you would expect, but just the fact it still works is amazing.
When you hear Austin's nose-breath through the mic you know he's angy. 😤😤😤
AMOLED's were introduced in 2008 specificly for small device screens likew phones. So a 2012 phone having one is pretty normal.
