[THE WEIRDEST PHONES OF 2021]
Folks, let’s be honest: you knew I wasn’t gonna do a rundown of regular phones. And as much as I’d have liked to do a best foldables list … well, firstly, not every video can be a foldable video; and second, I think we all know which foldables would have won. So to close out 2021, whaddya say we get weird?
Join me for a celebration of weird tech as I go hands-on with four of the oddest phones of 2021: the CAT S22 Flip; the Unihertz Tick Tock; the Microsoft Surface Duo 2; and the Leica Leitz Phone 1!

The tick tock phone is actually an interesting concept, if you think about the way we as a culture communicate attention, focus, and respect - for example, laying a phone face down, which usually mutes it or puts it on do not disturb, so as to show that we are paying attention to a conversation or a meeting in a room or whatnot. Laying this phone face down still allows you to have the benefits of a smartwatch, where you get a discrete, simplified version of alerts, but for people who do not physically enjoy wearing a watch.

That CAT phone is like a gift from above for me. I've always wanted something reminiscent of a mid-00's cell phone, but running Android. It's not that I want to go basic or disconnect, I just don't have a preference for the "one giant screen" form factor that dominates 99% of the market. And regarding the question posed at the Unihertz, the question isn't "why?", it's "why not?".

I'm still using the Huawei Mate 10 pro that you recommended in 2016/2017. (I can't remember, thats so long in phone-years) And the biggest thing I still love, is the Lecia cameras. This phone, even in 2021, takes comparable pictures to current flagships. I'm more blown away with Lecia cameras, than the phone itself. Which is really saying something, as this phone is still receiving updates, all be it using a vpn to trick the updates. I'm very intrigued at the Leitz phone!! And I clearly need to find a new brand of phone soon. lol RIP Huawei US

Definitely would like a review on the Leica Phone, and one thought, why not take a bit of a crazy "road trip", Alaska. Right now Fairbanks is an absolute winter wonderland, and with the storms we are getting, great photography. Plus, there are 2 big tests/challenges that Alaska can throw at a device that not many places can, extreme low light, and extreme cold. One comparison that I do testing different equipment is battery length "warm", and cold. Plus, you would not believe some of the crazy quirks that extreme cold can bring out in a device of any sorts!!!!

I forgot I have subscribed to this channel a while back. I will now be watching this more now. I had the first Duo and now the Duo 2. But aside from that, I love weird phones and I love seeing people trying to think outside the box and pushing the envelope; it is something I appreciate. Some of these quirky features and concepts sometimes catch on. I miss HTC and LG for that reason. I thought they were innovative. For what it's worth, I tthink the camera is at least comparable to the S21. Especially after the December update. The battery(ies) is/are also vastly improved.
