I paid $10 for the TORQUE DROIDZ SWIVEL - A Budget Smartphone from 2015 with a Flippy Camera!

Video Description

Warning: This video may not be that interesting and the LCD is barely visible through the review but I hope it's ok regardless. Timestamps are integrated into the video for each segment. I rambled about this phone for way too long so if you need to skip through the video then that's completely understandable! ====================================================== Greetings and welcome to another Cheapo Phone Review or is this Attack of the Clones? I am not sure but lets just roll along with it. Today I bring you another phone rescued from ewaste and for a total for ten dollars I present the TORQUE DROIDZ SWIVEL! A budget smartphone from a company based in the Philippines and made in 2015. It would just be a normal generic smartphone but it has ONE Gimmick... The main camera module flips 180 degrees. Which made me think of the TIMMY M9 that I reviewed years ago that had the same thing. And the whole flippy camera thing was popular on older phones but died out on smartphones. The OPPO N1 was one of the first phones to bring it back on smartphones, after that only a few used the flippy thing and then it was motorized pop up cameras and now back to them being boring. But I thought I'd look at this phone to see if it is any good and honestly for a 2015 budget phone - it's not bad. And I'll be number 3 that has made a video on this which is something. If you've heard of the company TORQUE before, please let me know. And if you want to count how many times TORQUE is mentioned and do a drinking game uh feel free :) Sit back and enjoy the TORQUE from the TORQUE DROIDZ SWIVEL. What a tongue twister of a name! ====================================================== Applications: CPU System Info: https://bit.ly/3BYfdaZ Device Info HW: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.andr7e.deviceinfohw&hl=en_AU Geekbench 5: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.primatelabs.geekbench5&hl=en_AU&gl=US QuickShortcutMaker: https://bit.ly/3wAC6jm System files from the Torque Droidz Swivel are here: https://archive.org/details/torque-droidz-swivel INTERNET ARCHIVE: https://archive.org/details/@smoorez TIMESTAMPS: Intro & Disclaimers: 0:00 Who is Torque & Advertising: 1:40 Original Pricing, Quick Specs & Torque Website: 3:20 TIMMY Remake, The Torque Phone & The Gimmick: 5:35 The Back Cover & The Battery: 7:39 Power On, The LCD Damage & Stock Android: 9:07 Shortcuts, How Flippy Works & Testing Calls: 10:31 Networks, Audio, Display, Storage, Battery & System Apps: 12:01 Voice Unlock: 13:58 About Phone & What the phone looked like new: 15:19 Browser Test & YouTube Test: 16:38 The Camera, LED Flash & Rambling: 18:42 Camera Test - Photos: 20:59 Camera Test - Videos: 22:32 Camera Quality & FM Radio: 25:41 Movie Studio & Speaker Test: 27:30 What is left & System Update: 29:10 Quick Gaming Test - Grand Theft Auto III: 30:06 Double Checking Specs & QuickShortcutMaker: 31:18 Rambly Conclusion: 33:22 Teardown Fun & Inside Flippy: 34:58 It still works, Proper Spec List & Final Thoughts: 39:11 Finally the video is over, thank you for watching: 40:49 Outro: 41:40 Be good people! ====================================================== SOCIAL: Instagram: s.moorez Email: [email protected] My second channel that had a mosquito leech my blood: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCngZvf_3ND-jc-cg0DrxDrg ====================================================== Music/Video: Outro: Mick Gordon - Cultist Base (Doom Eternal Soundtrack) Speaker Tests: Mick Gordon - BFG Division (DOOM 2016 Soundtrack) SMOOREZ - Event Horizon (some EP I never made) Camera Test Background: Andrew & Simon Hale - L.A Noire Main Menu Theme Video Test: 4K Video In Costa Rica by Jacob + Katie Schwarz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXb3EKWsInQ Other: Mudvayne - Dig: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIqbdnaPcT8 Fast & The Furious Final Race: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfV87TgYH78&t ====================================================== *All images used in the video belong to their rightful owners but are used under fair use/demonstration. ====================================================== #Torque #Smartphone #Review
