3 weeks ago I purchased an S23 Ultra from AliExpress and today we are going to explore the phone and it’s features!
If you’d like to check it out on AliExpress, you can search: “SOYES S23 MINI” and you’ll find it there. Prices range.
Here is a dumb phone you can game on, the Cat S22 Flip:

Edit:
Many commenting the device being Android 6.. I'll stand by Android 8.1 for now. Used multiple CPU-Z type applications to pull this information and have also compared my findings to other channels who have looked at this device as well. They've come to same conclusion.
The processor can barely handle it.. but it is indeed Android 8.
would be great if it was made in 2000
Comparable to Nokia 3310
The camera on the moon was 0.3 mp (like this phone's front camera) 💀
it android 6 not android 8
The main storage on a phone isn't ROM, it's flash memory. ROM literally means read-only memory and your storage isn't that.
I do quite like the soyes company, I picked up the XS11 because for $40 it's a fun little thing to have and it isn't too bad as an mp3 player or something
hey I enjoyed the XS11.. with that being said this is a major major upgrade to that. this has c port, better os, better screen resolution to name a few.. also like the build.. it looks like the s23 I mean come on 😂
@@johnzoid74 Oh yeah, the new models make me wish they came out earlier because I would've had USB-C and a more actually useable device. And the Samsung looks a bit more accurate compared to the XS.
I was literally looking for an old or a cheap and small Android phone which I can use as a mp3 player
@@narensenthilkumar2916 can find that under $40, 25 $ maybe
Does your SIM card work on it tho? Able to make calls?
Wow, i love that average size phone, it’s not small, just average size ❤
it has a great personality, size isn’t everything
@@Om4r37😂
it is really small when you get in hands
Bro what do you mean it's gigantic @@Om4r37
I would get it as a gift to my brother (He will %100 think it is the legit one)
How old is he?
@@k2s4try32 dollars
@@k2s4try3probably 6 or 8
@@k2s4try3253 months I guess
Lol, is your brother Shaq?
The emulation thing was actually pretty cool. It was running the game at native resolution via those black bars from the looks of it. Best way to play... i mean. If you don't mind such a tiny screen.
thanks man, I was so excited to see it run the way it did! the 1 inch x 1 inch resolution made it a unique experience and I cannot complain lol
@@johnzoid74bro try review duoqin F22 PRO..
I don't know if you've tried any of the Unihertz products, but they've got a 3" smartphone, the Jelly Star, that runs Android 13 and has a Helio G99 stuffed in that tiny package. Because the resolution is so low, games on it run pretty damn good too. I can easily run Minecraft, Genshin, and even do some PS2 emulation (I emulated Sly Cooper, which I've read is pretty difficult to do). I think you'd have fun with such a device
Yeah but it doesn't look like an iPhone or galaxy haha unihertz are legit device
Dragon ball legends works good on it ??!!
@@coeurdebillet9926 Haven't tried it but should work just fine. I played other portrait games like Tomb of the Mask just fine
How's the battery life? Wanna gift it to my 3 yr old nephew 😭
Came across to this channel and daaaaaang, his way of reviewing this cute phone is hilariously awesome! Subscribed, of course! It is so fun watching this guy really having fun playing with this one!
haha hey artybee thanks for the compliment- thanks for the sub and will do my best to keep bringing you back!
This reminds me a lot of the old Sony Xperia Compact phones, especially the XZ1 Compact. Those were great. You should check them out, the XZ1 and XZ2 compact still can run most modern games!
I will for sure thanks for the recommendation!
I have that xperia in compact edition. Initally grabbed it because it came with 3d scanning abilities though its scanning was lame, so theres a revopoint miraco all in one 3d scanner about to show up in a day or so as this is being written.
Its a decent phone for what it can do, reasonably fast processor. I packed it with music creation apps, it can really shine out as a ultra portable music studio with multitracking and drum machine and synth and really good vst effects in Audio Evolution DAW app for 20 bux.
Puts a 24 bit external recorder i bought for 1500 to shame and its so tiny. It has some faults though, the phone wont let you shunt apps to memory cards since sony decided people didnt want to do that, even though people DO want to do that. Apparently you can with newer sony phones i read though.
I have a few soyes micro phones. You could get mugged, and pull one out of your sock and call for backup. Or if you fall off a ladder and your legs look like a pretzel and your screaming isnt within anyone else hearing it, its easy to carry in your pocket while doing construction listening to podcasts and you can call 9/11 without even having a sim chip.
Also maybe try gps and usage as a Webcam for the pc? It might be having a second purpose on the occasional video call as a wireless Webcam or a GPS tracker for your car in case it gets stolen. It would even be possible to set up "geo fence" and notify you over the internet /sms if the car moved out of the parked "fence" area if gps worked on this little thing!
Try running Geekbench on it! I'm curious to see how it performs haha
Great video as always :)
I've never clicked so fast haha Thank you for the review! ✨ Can't wait to watch it 🙈
you’ve asked so many times I’m sorry 😞 but more coming … 🙏❤️
@@johnzoid74 Aww please don't apologise, I'm trilled the review's out (before Christmas 👀) haha It's unfortunate the SIM card didn't work, but because I'm looking for a small mp4 and mp4a player, it's wouldn't be a problem, if if tha was the case for another device as well 😄 Still deciding between the different Soyes phones but I really like this one !!
Also, of course Jetpack joyride's better, the hours I spent playing this game on my old Sony Ericsson Xperia 🙈
The nail biting thing is so relatable it almost hurts lol. I have probably pulled off my right index nail almost entirely about 3 times now total 😅
SIM tray looks huge on such a small phone, almost like miniSIM on the first 3 iPhones lol.
almost comes though the other side it seems 😆
That is the cutest phone i have ever seen. I actually bought one 😄😄
However i did not have any problem with the sim card. It was workimg really well
hah yes I agree it's a cute one😁
Would recommend any of the unihertz jelly phones if you actually want to use the phone for everyday activities 😬 and they are thicker OK but like the old typical Nokia bricks
@@DiverseGreen-Anon it attracts girls as well 😄😄😄
I think the Palm PVC100 also runs 8.1 Maybe that chunkster has a bigger battery.
I would SO love an S23 Mini of this size, but legit and not sh*t! I would buy it RIGHT NOW.
"it's... 3 inches..."
-J0hnZoid 2023
btw smoorez has the mt6580 as a tattoo. he deals with so many of these that this chip has been turned into a meme
that’s too funny! I do enjoy Smoorez for his extremely thorough walkthroughs! I’m one to skip around quite a bit but find them super useful.
@@johnzoid74 yea I usually have his videos on while I'm cooking or doing chores, and eating. good eating videos.
though I do watch them at like 2.5x speed
@@JessicaFEREM exactly. he’s probably the only person doing what he does.. in the exact way he does it. I also love Ashens, BigCliveDotCom, Dankpods of course.
0:38 immediately bought this will be my second soyes to date 🥰
That phone is very fast, it wouldn't upset you if you needed to make a call or use it as a little wifi hotspot or little server.
You might wanna remove thr dialing scene since it kinda shows the numbers you dialed through the blur
I want that start recording feature.
Planning to get mine as well
Mmm! That Scrumptious 0.3 Megapixel Camera😋
tasty
I must say I prefer the fake one over original if it comes to size
if it was higher performance it’d be so amazing
@@johnzoid74 yea
@@johnzoid74your looking for Asus Zenfone
so buy a small phone? there is loads, which one do you have..?
@@avocadodevotee poco M5 5g, i hate the size but it's good value for money, and battery is on another level
could you tell us the game versions you tested? In the case of jetpack joyride specially
the new s23 ultra is now ultra small such innovation
haha 😄
i used a soyes 7s once as a temporary phone.
screen broke and there were no parts availible
An 3 inches tall phone? That sounds like a perfect tablet for a borrower! 😄
I always love youtube thumbnails that I can personally relate to.
you never said about battery.how is the batter?hiw long can play video on youtube with wifi?
Imagine hasbulla holding this phone (he will 100% think its a real s23)
haha would be 1:1 for him! to Shaq this would be a fingernail lol
Keep making more videos like this lol, nice channel xD
thanks man 🙏
This is that type of phone that you travel with to a dangerous country
easily concealed for sure haha
@@johnzoid74 I can't help myself to not say, BU77CRACK hahahahaha
Where did you order it from please can you tell me?
Can you test and review nokia keypad phones which runs Kaios?
Can you test the UniHertz Jelly Star? It's also tiny.
Can you check the sim a little accurate please
i want to know if a sim can work in it
I want a phone with iphone 13 mini size but s23 ultra design.
This is a good size for a phone.
*Can you make a game test on* _Unihertz Jelly Star_ *or review it?*
How long the battery last if you play music with bluetooth headset been planning to get one to use as mp3 player
Ay I love the vid. I was wondering how long the battery last and how many Mah it is. Thank you 😊
This little phone reminds me of the Carlos Escobar phone that this website was selling was supposed to be 24 karat gold and it was literally just a Samsung wrapped in gold foil
That phone is good for the money. It could run lots of retro emulators and 1300 mhz is not bad.
this is the type of phone Apple users compare to their iPhone 😂
My Nexus one can still run some of those games.
what model of Nexus? I really love Nexus
That would make a great stocking stuffer for a 4 or 5 year old.
Or for me lol
I tapped when I saw that above average huge 3inch S23 ultra.
The pre-bedrock versions of Minecraft PE should run perfectly fine. Best chances at version 1.0.5 or lower.
thanks I'll give that a run
@@johnzoid74 the versions starting with zero are more likely to not have microsoft account logins. I know there was some point where they added them.
What is wrong? That is average size S23.
Damn thats a massive phone
This phone looks like one of those lumia phones back in the day.
Good luck on stoping biting your nails, I'm on the same boat. Ive suffered from anxiety and i found my nails as some way of relief, now at my 21 years im trying my best to stop this
we must stand strong! 😂 it definitely has its seasons as you know.. winter isn't the best for my dry hands. also depends on the levels of anxiety I'm experiencing
Wife and I are on our way to the beaches of Brazil to visit family as I message this- the warm beaches and salt water should help!
you can check my progress (or there may be none) anytime youd like.. as it's very blatantly shown through my videos 😂 I CANNOT HIDE
3 inches is huge.
this phone looks like a powerbank lmao
love the aliexpress 100% real phones.
a powerbank with a touch screen. what a deal.
A 1000 Mah Powerbank 😂
3 inches is long enough.. right?
right 😆
Could you connect it to external monitor with usb-c to HDMI?
Hi… what you can say about that phone for months of using?
What about the battery?
honestly interested to have that phone just to store things innit away from my main phone
not a bad use case honestly.. flash drive with Wi-Fi, sim capabilities, light gaming.. 🤷♀️
@@johnzoid74 put a 256gb micro SD in it and boom, portable hard drive with screen and interface
what happened to the durability test videos on the channel?
When the screen of your 3inch phone is just 50% of the device... 😆
The 6580 is basically a 6582 from 2012 or 2013, had this in a S4-clone these times.
The thumbnail gave the "that's what she said" vibe.
It has some features apple may want to add and claim they are the first to use them
good phone for small kids if it worked
Can it run Doom and Crysis?
Anyone know what the max SD card size is? I want to get something like this to use as an mp3 player for work and have a 1TB card's worth of music and audiobooks to use.
I tried intalling duckstation, but it only has open gl 2, it need open gl 3
Can you use it for videocalls?
I don't love tiny smart phones but I do love small smart phones between 4-5 inches. I have owned 2 smart phones in my life, Sony Xperia Z5 Compact and Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact both are 4.6 inches and imo the perfect size. I can't stand phones over 5 inches. Might as well try to jam an ipad in my pocket. I really wish the big three would go back to making some compact flagships.
Currently I carry 2 phones. Galaxy S4 for calls and texting. Xperia XZ1 Compact for Pokemon GO and Instagram.
Don't ask.
you can connect Bluetooth when you call use earphones
This Reminds me of lg L20 the phone is exactly the same size, and uses MediaTek processor 6572m, the back camera is 2 mega pixels but has got no selfie camera(front camera) and 512MB RAM 4MB ROM.
this is awesome- thanks for the comment. I’m going to look into the processor on the L20.. maybe there are some cool use cases to run cooler apps than I was able to on this phone 😎🖖
@@johnzoid74 if you can't find any apps for the l20 try l30 or l40. The l40 is 4 inches tho.
Hey! maybe that phone has a great personality.
😂
i can't get online through mobile data with this device
any help is appreciated
I want a Pink Soy23, too!!! because I have small pockets. like really small pockets.
Man, this reminds me of the time when phones seemed to be trying to see how small they could get. Like my dad's old Nokia 8210.
Does/will Spotify work on this thing? I'd buy it to just stream and play music on it
you put the finger in the camera and that make the photo blurry.... also I think it could work as a dashcam for your car with the expandable memory.
if I did on any of the photos it was not intentional. main camera not bad! I believe you can find a traditional dash cam on AliExpress for around the same cost and would likely be a better fit when speaking to battery and camera quality.
Can it be used at portable hotspot
Why does it look like the s24 ultra wtf
Does it support NFC? Like google wallet / google pay?
The ultimate sweat in gd isn’t me (lying)
Son: Mom can we have iPod nano?
Mom: No son we have iPod nano at home
iPod nano at home:
lol us be so hyped 😂
Next time when you take a picture, clean the lens. The thumb grease is as good tough.
Its not about the size its about how you use it
that thing is 100% stealing your sim info every second the sim card is in it lol
Pls test the jelly phones :D (or compare them in price/performance against the ~40€/$ mini phones)
dude I love the Jelly phones! I'd post the URL's to my reviews of them but youtube doesnt allow to post links anymore.. lame. if you scroll through my long form vids you'll find reviews of the Jelly 2, Jelly 2E, and the Atom Mini. All amazing.. although the 2E falls short. The Jelly is still my favorite of theirs.
@@johnzoid74 ah alright! My sister just switched from the jelly 2 to the jelly star as she asked my for a small phone to recommend and it actually worked great ^^
(also I thought links get blocked but "for review" and the video poster has to enable the blocked link. Did UA-cam even disable that? Sad)
Superb! 😀Masterpiece 🤑 Love From India🇮🇳
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
do a video on the Samsung star the better Samsung galaxy y
Looks like a Game Boy Micro when playing N64 games
Hi bro ! I come from France,and I wanna know whose mini phones model (Jelly,Soyes,...) can i play Dragon Ball Legends normaly please !?!?! Im looking for a good runing thanks a lot !
the Jelly 2 is the goat 🐐.. not many apps cannot be run on it and I’d say it’s your safest option. SOYES is fun but none have much processing power! Unihertz in my experience has been fantastic.
I've never seen a USB C port look so massive lol
Attach a keyring and make it as a Keychain
That phone look like a big battery 🔋
you had a game ! "lucky man" all i had was a bone me mum would tie around me neck so the dog would play with me.
damn i got a hp pavilion p6305it system used for $32

I love your videos so freaking much!
They are better than watching Netflix after work!
Greetings from Germany! 😁
thanks so much ❤️ I’m glad you enjoy! New video coming tomorrow morning!

Try a unihertz jelly star it’s so great it’s my normal phone now
I’ve received the recommendation a lot- I’ll for sure check it out
Is there video over USB C?
