Smart watch and for the first time, they’ve finally broken that android 7 barrier and brought us to full android 10 on our wrist. It opens the doors to better functionality, better performance, better battery life, so it’s it’s about time that this happened and i’m, not surprised that z blaze is the company that went and pushed forward. You also have sim card support, so insert your 4g nano sim, and this becomes a smartphone on your wrist i’m late to the party, no doubt, but this was stuck in europe somewhere um. They sent it to me early. It arrived late, it doesn’t matter, let’s get this unboxed Applause it’s a nice compact packaging. I can’t wait to test this watch out seriously. I’M. A smart watch fanatic, okay, user manual, smart watch i’m, not wasting any time here. I’Ve got a screen protector on top peel. It off another protector covering the heart rate sensor: oh wow, that looks nice. Okay, i’m gon na put this reluctantly to the side and we’re gon na see what else we have in this box.
Silicon straps magnetic usb charger, and that is it that’s all you get in the box, so let’s get the formalities out of the way. We’Ve got a charger here, usb charger, uh magnetic stays in place and you can charge up with any five watt source. Now i have read: it takes around two hours to fully charge the battery and you do have an 830 milliamp hour battery wow. Look at that now. The complete watch case and back cover is made from plastic and on the front we have very nice and smooth ceramic bezels. Now you are looking at a 1.6 inch ips display with a screen resolution of 400 by 400. The watch does have dual cameras, so you’ve got a five megapixel on the front and a five megapixel on the side. Furthermore, under the hood we have the mediatek helio p22 octa core cpu clocked at two gigahertz, with four gigs of ram and 64 gigs of internal storage, so finally upgraded specs all around the first time. This has happened to a full android smartwatch in a very long time. Z blaze has literally gone all out, so this is the real next gen full android smartwatch. Now there is also built in bluetooth version 5, triple satellite gps, dual band wi fi and a 4g lte nano sim slot on the back, which means you can insert your 4g nano sim card, and this smart watch becomes a full featured smartphone on your wrist.

Furthermore, there is no ip rating. They are calling this life waterproof, which actually means you can use it in the rain and wash your hands, but you cannot go swimming with this watch on now. The watch dimensions it’s 54 millimeters in diameter with a thickness of 17.8 millimeters and it weighs 76.3 grams. Now the straps are made completely from silicon. You’Ve got this nice ridged textured design. Now the straps are removable and easy to replace with your own 22 millimeter band, and this is how the watch looks on my wrist and in case you’re wondering i have a wrist circumference of 7 inches. So, most importantly, the watch does feel quite comfortable on the wrist. To give you a better idea of the size, i will bring in the samsung galaxy watch three, so here they are side by side. So the galaxy watch 3 is 44 millimeters in diameter. With a 1.4 inch screen versus 1.6 it’s 10.9 millimeters thick and weighs 44 grams, so of course yes, the galaxy watch 3 is thinner and lighter, but you’ve got a bigger screen on the thor 6.. So that was to give you an idea of the size of the thor 6.

Retweet live open or dismiss, so you can respond to notifications directly from the watch so now, it’s time to test out that heart rate sensor i’m wearing a ring on my thumb.
This is the ultraviolet it’s, a medical grade, heart rate and sp2 sensor. It does both at the same time now, of course, no smart watch out. There has a medical grade sensor, but we just want to know how close that we can get to an accurate score. So we are running a heart rate test on the smart watch. The ring has already given us a result. So 91 90 beats per minute 89. So it constantly checks the heart rate, so you can see what’s going on there. 96 blood oxygen and we’ve achieved 81 on the smart watch, 82 against 86. So you can see, we have a difference there. Medical grade says 87 and the smart watch says 83 medical grade just jumped up to 94 and the heart rate has gone up to 85. it’s slightly behind from the medical grade sensor. But this is what you guys. Can expect in terms of accuracy, so we are going to do a quick screen on hand raised test so zeblaze thor 6 samsung, galaxy watch 3.. So let’s do this. So the galaxy watch three was instant and the z blades activated at least three seconds. After all. Right so let’s do this again last time, yeah, so there you have it guys that was the zblaze thor six. Now this is the real deal. People a full android smartwatch on your wrist you’re, getting plenty of power and performance. Android 10 runs super smooth. You can play games, install apps, shoot photos and videos.
Take video calls whatsapp calls skype calls instagram twitter youtube, do it all on your wrist and quite possibly leave your phone at home. Now this smartwatch is more like a smartphone than a fitness watch, so fitness tracking capabilities are certainly there. You do still have a pedometer to track your steps, calories and distance, and you also have nine workout modes that you can choose from, although quite limited, in comparison to a smart fitness watch. So i think this watch would appeal mostly to those who are looking to have full android on their wrist. Now it is certainly a game changer and i am quite happy to see real progress being made with full android smartwatches and it recently felt like we are not going to get past android, 7.1 and then z. Blaze goes and drops the thor 6.. Now my package was stuck somewhere in the postal system and it got here quite late and therefore i’ve not had proper time with it yet so i will certainly follow up in the pin comments with anything new.t3pfIqMVgnw
