unbox
Remove from carton
To unbox is to remove something from its box or packaging.
The word has gained prominence through internet culture, where unboxing videos show people opening new products—especially electronics, toys, or collectibles—while narrating the experience: I unboxed the new console on my channel.
The appeal lies in vicarious excitement and first impressions.
