  • Just got this phone i really like it. It feels good in the hand and everything seems like touch screen no buttons at all on the face of the phone. I would recommend this phone to anyone

  • He looks skinnier in his newer videos.

  • Crappy screen, horrible camera, and motoblur. This phone sucks.

  • What's up Aaron

  • Aaron, can you change what's in the dock of Motorola Apps platform?

  • @iKaszer yes

  • Aaron I would like to know what is your primary phone?

  • Global Roaming > 3D.

    I would happily trade the EVO 3D's 3D capability for a better camera (8-12 MP), GSM (World Roam), and the Kickstand.

    I would totally pick the Photon 4G if it ran HTC Sense. But now I don't know which one to pick anymore.

  • @idiotrun1997 Motorola puts awful cameras into their phones so it really isn't any better than the Evo 3D

  • Aaron :D

  • Aight so i went ahead and got this over the Evo 3D, The 3D triggered my migraines like mad. I love the photon its 10x faster than my itouch 4(not counting the connection speeds) Loads up youtube videos and internet way faster than my itouch and im also on the same wifi network. Deffinitly get this phone its amazing im very excited.

  • no its 79.99 because the 4g data costs $10 more a month..even if u dnt hav 4g service where u live u hav to pay the 79.99

  • so its not 69.99 more like 79.99 because its a smartphone?

  • This phone looks epic! Does anyone know whether its coming to the UK??

  • lol I think the best smartphone out now is the My Touch 4g slide that is just my opinion and im getting it next week!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i have the evo 4g but would love to upgrade to this instead of a sprint iphone

  • its crouton not phonton smh......

  • Does it have swype ?

  • Motorola PHOTON 4G vs samsung galaxy s2 dogfight piz?????????????????

  • How much does it cost again?

  • @4tusito $199 USD. Some Sprint Customers have been getting $150 savings on each phone depending on how long they've been with Sprint. Hooray customer loyalty programs!

  • Why are you wearing a suit is this a special event

  • this phone is 0.1 GHZ short of my computer ._. (PC has single core 2,1GHZ)

  • can you skype on this phone? using front camera?

  • @prelude1369 yep

  • Fire the Photon Torpedos! At 4G speed!

  • i dont pull out

  • this phone looks awesome....

  • this phone is the best

  • 3D sucks

  • lol 1:42 is the phone's #

  • Can you do a dogfight between the Google Nexus S and the Motorola PHOTON 4G???

  • this phone is so sexyy !

  • video starts at 1:00 :) easiest way to get top comment ;)

  • I like the hair Aaron.

  • 7:45 the screen resolution looks more like HD in the photon than in the evo 3d

  • How is the pixelation? The droid x2 had that pixel issue.

  • OOOOOOH Soy Ink!

  • dammit i just bought a nexus s today

  • it take a LONNG time to turn on

  • is it in the uk ??

  • NICE ur dressed all nice and FANCY!!!

  • I understand the physical and hardware advantages/upgrades but android is android. Even with the new software is still boring. It's almost unessesary to review any android device reviewed if you have seen any android device reviewed. just review the phone and then throw in at the end it's opperating the android software. The end

  • should i get this or htc evo 3d???

  • does this have HDMI Mirroring like the EVO 3D???

  • unboxing 1:17

    Phone turned on at 2:57

    Review starts at 5:00

  • looks alot like my atrix 4g.....

  • How do ya turn on swipe?

  • @CORYKEATHLEY Go to a typing space (text message, search bar, etc) and long press the space, click input method, and tap swype,

  • yay no 3D

  • im with SoleBella4 on this one

  • aaron!!!!!

  • aarom

  • I texted aaron! He said Hi! ;DD

  • @phonedogAaron

    Do a triple dogfight that hasn't been done in awhile between this, the nexus s 4g and the HTC EVO 3d. You can split it into 3 or more parts. Therefore people can have one stop shop for what phone to get I mean photon has world capabilities and webtop, business features, nexus s 4G is pure Google and has nfc and evo3d has 3d and HTC goodness do it aron

  • Good thing you got rid of Noah...that mofo sucks!

  • ALIEN LIFE FORM DISCOVERED IN NEW JERSEY!!!!! /watch?v=sNYUoSKf2YI

  • I didnt see "speedy" in this review

  • Camera is too close to his face for comfort. Nice phone tho, I'm actually preferring it to the Evo 3D

  • Sprint is killin em.....

  • do a dog fight between HTC Sensation and this :)

  • Sprint is horrible , the data speed they call 4g is like 2g on tmobile ,

  • @cl65amg69 Agreed. I think the only wireless carrier out there right now that has true 4G is Verizon, which uses LTE. AT-Mobile's HSPA+ network is a pretty close second to that. AT&T's so-called "4G" speeds aren't the greatest either. Speaking of AT&T's 4G, does anyone know when they're rolling out their LTE expansion to their network?

  • @saxman112 late third quarter of this yeah supposedly

  • Awesome!!!! I do a lot of travelling so this is going to be awesome for me

  • Sprint is terrible, I don't care how good of phones they get will never sign a contract with them just for a phone. I learned my lesson

  • Maybe I should leave Verizon for this phone my contract up next month

  • Cramed

  • That phone looks ugly and cramped

  • This vs EVO 3d dogfight, ASAP Aaron!

  • This is much better looking than my Atrix even better than my crappy Atrix. Feel Like I should move to Sprint so I can get the Photon

  • @genestarwindjf80 although they left off the fingerprint scanner, which i love on my atrix. but i do agree the design is better

  • so i don"t know if this is true but i heard that LTE uses sim cards. So since the Photon has a sim card slot will it be able to use LTE when sprint switches?

  • Is the GSM quad-Band or Triband

  • 0:11

    

  • Speaking of Kickstands... HTC promised us a Kickstand case for the Evo 3d..

  • WIN P 7.5 Mango FTW.

    

  • ya it uses a 1900 gsm frequency so att and tmo

  • yea like he guy below me can i buy this phone unlock it and use it for say tmobile?

  • Hi. Sorry for noob's question but can this phone be used with other GSM carrier's SIM-card (in case the phone will be unlocked)? Thanks.

  • I WANT.

  • you guys are the best

  • Who Would Answer If I Call?

  • starts at 1:54

  • And this is 2.3.4 nice I'm digging it

  • @Rmeyer845 this is a great phone much more powerful then nexus s 4g when the bootloaders unlocked it will be da best.nexus is Google developer phones it will always get the upgrades way before any other phone

  • EVO 4G vs PHOTON 4G

  • I hate motor blur so I won't be getting this phone nothing is better than HTC Sence

  • I'd rather have the EVO 4G+ or an EVO 4G Shift + w Front face camera =D

    make it happen Sprint

  • Nice hair Aaron as always ;)

  • I cant wait til this comes to Us Cellular...

  • @RayMondSinClair it's not

  • @cvbcbcmv -- Maybe you should do a little research bruh... This phone is coming to Us Cellular..

  • Best Buy hooked up the phone for them, but no pre-order at Best Buy? That makes sense...LOL.

  • I thought the photon 4g had gorilla glass. he just didn't mention it.

  • @tristan0304 This was just the unboxing, full review coming up.

  • I have really considered switching out my Nexus S 4G for this phone!!!!! Should I do it?

  • @rmeyer845 no. the nexus s is a great phone

  • Nice jacket!

  • "because i cant pull it out" lol aaron thats not a good thing

  • I wish these guys would come out with another phone on Sprint around the size of the Hero... I'm sick of these huge ass phones :(

  • ugggh all smart phones are the same... 4.3" screen, Android, touchscreen, 4G, etc.

  • That's what she said @ 2:24. :D

  • area code 949 is in Irvine CA

    

  • half day battery lfe? pathetic phone.;

  • hes lost a lot of weight and looks good!

  • he looks hott! the phone as well =D

  • I want this phone soo bad. This is my dream phone everything I could possibly want packed into one device it has everything I want

  • @FJCM91 I have HTC Sensation, and I believe dedicated camera button is still a necessity. It's so difficult to take pictures on my HTC.

  • Aaron did you lose weight?

  • To many phones with tegra 2. Lets switch it up?

  • im kinda pissed this came out because now i have to decide between this and the Evo 3D...they need to do a good ole' dog fight

  • if this phone had stock gingerbread ...if only. i'll pass for now

  • @phonedog Hey Aaron, how's the WiMAX radio on this compared to the EVO 3D? Do you actually get WiMAX with it or is the good radio not enough to get WiMAX where you're located?

  • Great phone, my favorite on Sprint. I love the screen, camera, look, specs, UI, basically just about everything. Though I'd never switch to Sprint. The radio's great though, I wonder how well it does with WiMAX in Aaron's house considering the EVO 3D get's 1-5 bars of 3G and 1 bar of WiMAX while this gets 4-5bars of 3G in the same area.

  • that screen is fucking beautiful! :O

  • Muy bueno el vídeo demonios sigue así

  • @krazygreen and you still watched his video... Envy much?

  • I agree the phone reception is the best I've had especially compared to the 3d. 3d's reception was terrible

  • bonic?

    

  • Looks awesome.

  • Sexy

    

  • the shape of this phone is UGLY! for serious.

  • Samsung Droid Charge! !!!!

  • forget the environmental crap

  • "I hate to pull it out." That's what he said.

  • @krazygreen you sound like a non-fashionable bald headed hater. Give him a break... He does a great most of the time.

  • @toomuchgame441 lol, you want to see more of this guy in fashion shows, I suggest you ask him to send you some private video's of him combing his hair and putting makeup on his cold sore. Otherwise, I want to see a full video of phone reviews, not some ugly tacky purple shirt in place of what could be valuable info. And no, he's really not that good, he's bias, he's uninformative, and the only reason PhoneDog has half of it's subscribers is because Noah had originally brought them in.

  • @krazygreen Yes, I'm sure subscribers are too dumb to press the unsubcribe button.

  • Droid3 vs droid x2

  • I miss john

  • Nice video dude ...thanks for the heads up n the phone ..

  • The phone itself is very sexy, but I heard bad about motoblur, can someone who has a phone with motoblur tell me about it, someone plz reply

  • @nuffsaidguy i dont like it...theres not much customization/ widgets like for ex... htc sense does

  • Aaron I don't think the majority of people care to see your face, lousy hair, baked tan, purple shirt, or cold sore before every one of your reviews. You're not a celebrity, you're a youtube phone reviewer for crying out loud, so spend more time reviewing devices, and less time on your fashion apparel.

  • Comment removed

  • When this phone was announced, it was overshadowed by the triumph which was announced at the same time. So idk if people will care about this photon, considering a pre paid phone stole the show lol

  • why dose it bother me when he says Motorola Application platform why cant he just say app drawer

  • @SneekySinper17 hes talking about motoblur not the app drawer lol

  • My EVO 3d loads faster.

  • @LIT0187 but it really sucks in reception and data speeds also can't forget the weak speaker it has...I sold my 3D to get this tomorrow :)

  • WHY does it have to use Blur? Currently using an Evo 3D mainly because of Sense > Blur or Touchwiz

  • request= pleas show the boot up , on phones if possible, evo had one of the best, thanks,, I like this phone,
