[00:28] say it's the design and ergonomics. So, it's only 4.5 mm [music] thin. It's only 201 g, so it's really light. It's pocketable. It's a 55 in screen, 16x10 are actually dying for. So, great from a if I'm just literally playing Ashvalt

[00:43] [music] Legends as an example here. But once I've opened it, I'm now presented once I've opened it, I'm now presented with a large 7.6 in display. It's one ever at 3,000 nits. And also, it has an anti-reflective coating. So, it means no

[01:50] Recently, I've actually been a massive fan of Ashvalt Legends, which I've been hub on these devices. So, I can literally stream the game, [music] play it, but not sure how to take the corner. I can just watch the video all at the

[02:04] same time. So, from a web [music] browsing experience for a phone is absolutely brilliant, um, with that 4x3 aspect ratio. And then [music] again, to watch YouTube at the same time, you can just drag it. You can have it at the
