Mystery Unboxing with 20+ phones | Pocketnow 

"Got an Iphone, looks like 7+, so nothing interesting to say about that" lol

Loved the 7 Plus reaction 😂 Exactly what I would have done

BlackBerry passport 😍

The unidentified sony phone is the xperia xz from 2016

As a semi long term watcher of Pocketnow I was hoping to give some constructive criticism. I haven't been watching long enough to remember you or your content, however I've been a viewer since 2015, having seen the quality of content provided by Michael Fisher, Jaime Rivera and Juan Carlos Bagnell. While I think the majority of your videos are interesting and have good content throughout, I find the quality of the video itself off-putting. It feels reminiscent of content you'd find on a startup channel, and not a well established mobile review/news source with 1.5m subscribers. Naturally, the video quality itself isn't everything. Content is what matters the most, but presentation is a key factor in enticing new viewers and ensuring consistency in content between yourself and Jaime Rivera, who consistently puts out high quality phone reviews. What I mean by this (so it doesn't just come across as "get good") is that the previously mentioned presenters (current and former) used editing, camera angles and aesthetic to help make their videos as visually enticing as possible, and show all hardware in an eye catching manner. If there were unboxings, areas with no dialogue, mumbling or just lots of "empty time" had cuts. Voiceovers were commonly used and while that isn't totally necessary for your style of content (heck, even Jaime has been recording voice live lately in a few reviews) it might be a better use of time to speed up slow unboxing parts and use voice to describe the situation until you get to the phone itself. Additionally, depending on the type of camera you're using, try to adjust exposure settings and find a better middle ground if possible, the footage is overexposed, and while I see some improvement between this and your return video there's still some ways to go. Additionally, try to turn down the music a bit and make your voice a little louder. These are just a few small suggestions, while this may have been normal when you previously ran the channel I believe the dynamic for many new viewers has shifted and people come here with an expectation for a certain level of quality. Once you go above a certain bar it makes it harder to go back down. I really want to see more of your content! This video in particular was a really fun trip down memory lane! But I did struggle to get through it due to the pacing and editing. Long videos like this in particular need to be paced better in order to maintain viewer attention span (obviously this doesn't apply to everyone, but a lot of people will feel that way) I hope you don't take offence to this as it's just my two cents, either way welcome back to the channel! I hope to see more from you :)

This has been a pretty good nostalgia trip, thanks Brandon That Sony Clie and Vaio P gave me some Vietnam levels of flashback from early Michael Fisher era PocketNow

This man's s videos are so low quality compared to what I'm used to at Pocket Now

Cool video and content, but I don't understand why you've got a background audio track playing. There's a reason you don't hear music behind the news, talk shows, etc. It's distracting, and the repetitive nature of the track is annoying.

The Huawei Mate Ten pro is so incredibly underrated I really regret not getting that phone

That Sony foldable thingie, wasn’t that the Sony tablet P?

You said dozens, and the camera never focused....

So many people complaining about this guy but back in the day he was the man to watch. Legendary voice. Its refreshing and different. Im sure he will grow and adapt to todays standard. Give him some time. Brandon i find your videos refreshing, you come over as a normal guy who loves the tech.

The music is too loud.

Welcome back brandon! I remember uou unboxing the iPhone 5 a long time ago! Have a great time again at pocket now and make cool video’s!

i would love it if you guys ever decide to give away some of the devices you dont want to keep. feeling really nostalgic looking back at these marvelous pieces of tech before the glass and metal revolution took over

Blackberry passport...man I love it ...I actually kept mine and refused to sell it cause it's the only phone that's never let me down ! I keep it as a secondary device

Pocketnow has fallen off a lot. It Started with Taylor Martin Leaving and then Michael Fisher. It Jaime leaves I am certain this channel would "Die"

Love you vids Brandon. Loose the background tunes :/ glad your back.

this video was painful to watch. great phones yet the messy setup, background music, and camera going out of focus drove me nuts....

Pocketnow is dying. Michael Fischer left and Juan Bagnell is not a regular anymore, then we get this guy who seems to be always out of breath when speaking and seems so nervous even off camera and just drops phones and handles them so callously. Jesus. I can say that I almost prefer Jules' nasal blocked voice over this. This is so unprofessionally made unlike the pocketnow videos that I was used to. This makes the early days of Jaime's phone reviews look like MKBHD.

God i really wish I could have the blackberry passport... Had one and i dropped it somewhere and now missing it more than ever

Nexus 6p is great, im thinking of picking it up as a secondary phone ,those stereo speakers are awesome

Hey, nice Leatherman. I wonder who bought you that. 🤔

Hey it's the box Juan shipped off a while back lol!

You did a lot of Windows Mobile reviews back in the day. Those would be more nostalgic. But Sony Clie and Palm Os.😍😭 Btw audio needs to be improved.

For ur fans sake, stop this dude from posting for pocketnow, this video and sound quality, is not worth ur Chanel.... It look like he is using a cheap Chinese phone to film

What’s with the background music? 🤔🤦‍♂️

Welcome back Brandon.

the best unboxing ever. Old phone so cool!! nostalgie...

That dual screen Sony phone looked almost better than the Axon M. Sony should try to make a foldable advice similarly

The unidentified Sony phone was the XZ (not the Premium variant). It's recognizable by its Loop surface design, the metal (alkaleido as they call it) back, the vertical back sensor layout, the fact that the frame is in a single plastic piece and the front NFC antenna ;)

RE do this video with better focus

HTC ONE M7 was released 1st half 2013. I still have mine. Just with a data sim in it these days.

Video is overexposed

“This is like the best day of my life” I’m honestly so happy youre enjoying this. I hope you’re here to stay.

The best invention in the phone world is the "Flip phone"

Really fun video, thanks Brandon.

People don't understand its a casual retro throwback.

Still so bad sound recording... It particularly becomes hard to understand anything with my type of headphones.

Some pretty cool devices. I remember seeing the LG Flex and wanting one. Still if one came my way and its reasonably priced I'd grab it. That Sony dual screen looks awesome and for productivity usage, etc. Looks interesting

Focus was all over the place

Man, talk about a box of devices I wanted to purchase but couldn't afford.

the 6p ..the best nexus and the best huawei phone

loved my htc m8S and the onplus X looks so cool!!

i could literally get an upgrade on my phone, from ur box of forgotten phones

This was very cool!!

I used the LG G Flex for 3 full years, still have it in the drawer. Never gonna sell it.

I honestly expected a little more like maybe some old school windows phones from Mr Mobile

Great video! The background music was a bit too loud I think; I'd rather it be quieter so I can focus more on the things you're saying!

I wanted to get a new case for.my OnePlus 5 but OnePlus stopped selling them, can I buy that off you pocket now??

Didn’t Steve jobs take shots at the Motorola Q during the 2007 iPhone announcement.

Blackberry OS is GOOD, app support let it down!

yay your back :)

Oneplus 3 was my very first oneplus device. It was awesome for its time. Currently rocking the 5t and don't plan on upgrading yet. Might wait for the pixcel xl3 see what it brings to the market.

I got my lg g flex 2 somewhere around 2015 and im still using it

I had that Sony Clié. It is, as stated, a Personal Entertainment Organizer. It is not a cellular telephone.

I bought the Blackberry Passport less than a year ago for 150€, this phone is my dream phone but as you said, it would have been better with Android (even tho it can run Android apps, its not running that well), still got it on my desk and using it for emails or writing down ideas I have on Evernote!

I would definitely buy that Sony Tablet P! That thing looks so cool

Kindly improve the video quality , the main object is mostly out of focus and the white balance needs to be worked upon.

Pocketnow I'm looking forward to the reviews on the oldies. This is what I'm looking for my budget and considering getting an oldie.

Blackberry Passport is the beast. Best phone running Blackberry 10 OS. Owned one and regret that I have sold it. I'll get it again and add to my collection.

If you felt like you don't need some of these phones anymore you could give them away and make some of your fans really happy

If they are just left on a box You can do a mega giveaway. like this comment so he can see it

anyone know whats the background music used in this clip?

I was waiting for a review of the Leatherman... Lol.

I love Nexus 5 and 6P. I have a same point-of-view 'bout note 8 that's why I preferred to use Note FE instead.

Pls do video of that Motorola and LG g flex also... At least show us the UI of it and some closeup shots

Anyone else here remember the early days of pocketnow?

you selling the note 8?

This video I really like is very different for all the tech videos that is around today everything is the same everywhere.. I wanted to keep watching it but it was over too quick really love this vid watching all the old phones that I used to love

Wallaby and Hero and such?

7:29 you need to google bypass thr phone its pretty easy for phones with android 6.0 and below anything above is really difficult.

That moment when you're watching this video on one of the phones he unboxes

I wanna work for Pocketnow for free. If i get to keep a box similar to what u unboxed with all these and many more smartphones.

That's the xperia Xz ... the premium had glass back

I want a FairPhone 2 unboxing

I bet bet people asking for one of these phones I want one, blackberry passport.

Fun fact: 1 out of 5 phones have fecal matter on it :D

please do some international giveaways.... it will be nice

Made me so Angry watching this out of focus video !

I love that note 8, I want it to be my next phone when I'm done with my V20

All those phones bring back good memories. I will gladly take that S8 or iPhone 7 Plue off your hands!

I'll happily take one of your hands!
