hey it's Joshua Vergara what's going on everybody and I have the immense pleasure to have one of our friends here supersnap TV well okay this is something to ask you I'm sure you've had people ask you this before when they introduce you is it always super-sized TV super staff or just staff like what's the best way to do that well Saffy's well everybody calls me but with my online profile it's super safe yeah the TV thing the reason why the TV thing actually came about was because super SAP wasn't available on YouTube time so I kind of I was like what what I do right yeah okay I lost a good TV at the end yeah but now everything is consistently just super safe but it's kind of become part of the intro mmm what's up YouTube's a feeling super safe TV okay so I kind of just keep that for the YouTube channel but yeah generally for me personally it's super okay great well the staff is here with us and thank you guys so much for watching the livestream and we're actually recording this like we're not at the booth obviously I did want to come by and make sure I count I caught SAP before he was actually out of here from Las Vegas but like you don't have to give too many details but like you've only really been here for like a day or two huh yeah it's it's been pretty hectic I got here on Tuesday night and it's Friday right now and I'm just kind of love just pack my bags and getting ready to leave so like directly after this I think he has to go straight to the airport yeah it's pretty much it's it's been pretty hectic and with CES I mean next time I'll probably come in earlier this was a bit of a last-minute thing so next time I'll be here like a good few days in advance yeah I remember coming in on the first day and I was trying to figure out who was around we saw some of our friends I mean we last saw each other in Hawaii for the Qualcomm eval yeah which was not amazing amazing and we had a bunch of those guys around like annobón bored at work they have a Cogan the unlocker and we're just kind of figure out who was around and everyone was like is Sapp here like checking your social and I didn't see anything yeah then finally I saw that I juiced or was I just or was it a post that you were like on a plane on the way here yeah so that's I mean it was it was it was a very last-minute thing and you know with is my actually my first yes are you kidding this is my first see yes oh that's hard to believe it is and a funny story first CSI I kind of walked in and I was like kind of looking around went into the the central hall and the lights went off oh you were there one the power outage happened yeah and this is like this is literally like you know talking minutes into me coming to CES yeah I kind of just trying to take it all in and then my school for nothing it wasn't me I heard that there was an immense flicker for a while like it was flickering on and off and then finally yes I mean when I came in he's just like yeah little flicker and boom gone so I just met dan from what's inside I would like to shine it in a straight way just went off was like what just happened it's crazy absolutely crazy that's only one of the stories from this I can only really describe as a crazy CES yeah did you hear about the the Google Experience area um I don't think I did okay so there are trams that are running like the convention center we're actually kind of high up here and you can see the convention center way over there and there's a tram stop that's there that goes to a few other hotels and the tram or the monorail whatever you want to call it the tram on the side it says hey Google oh it's a huge thing right but on one of the stops you can go downstairs and they have this whole display where it says that you can use hey Google now instead of okay gee oh I keep saying hey Google I hope no I want them triggering no one's phones out there but there they have like in this experience Center and it looked really awesome and people were going and then I think just the day before you arrived it was raining like crazy oh yeah I school that was that was insane yeah so what happened was it actually rained it out oh and everyone started like making their little jokes about it like oh I guess they still don't know about IP certifications or something really I don't remember who it was if you I don't remember who was that that published us on that tweeted this out but they said that Google live by the cloud died by the color in any case you are here it's great to see and even if it's a quick turnaround okay so we did talk a little bit yesterday because we were hanging out yeah I was going to ask you what some of your favorite stuff from CES has been or anything but you haven't really had a chance to go home it's it's been crazy because like I've just had the two days and I think a lot of it has just been kind of seeing you guys everybody else I mean the tech youtuber community is awesome and everybody's here and you very I mean you get occasional sort of events where everybody gets together with CES is like where everybody's here premium Yeah right so it's just awesome kind of catching up with everybody I had a brief look around there's a few things I saw I mean the Samsung 146 inch micro LED TV essence yeah I agree it was it was actually crazy to try to even get up close because they was like that was probably one of the busiest places that I came across in the whole CSI was like at least like 50 people in front of it so but yeah I mean just seeing that was like wow like I want that on my wall like my wall does not look good anymore like that is the wall that's what they call it to this I think welcome to the wall and yeah yeah they had a little event to show it off and I stopped in there was actually the first thing I saw when I came to Las Vegas and when I walked in yeah everyone was just crowding around it there were so many other displays but nobody wanted to leave the wall I think that that's that's the biggest display there and like it's crazy and it's module as well I mean they've not released too much about it but you know you could make it small you could potentially make it bigger as well am i right in thinking that I believe so because yeah the modularity behind it all I mean I'm not even too sure what is what that's all gonna mean but it is it is a wonderful piece of technology and there's a lot of that here at CES and it based upon any coverage that you might have seen is there anything else that you thought was pretty interesting at the show yes I mean I'm a bit of a DJI phantom always keeping up to date with what they're doing so seeing the Osmo mobile - and especially at this new price point I think it's it's amazing really makes it accessible to everybody and then I had a play around with the the Ronin s oh you did yeah yeah oh hell it was it's pretty awesome yes also again like if you're into filmmaking then I can see that as a really useful tool how okay so how does that stack up because DJI has a very vast library of different gimble's and of course there's so many other one-handed cables out there like the giant crane and all that how does the Ronin how do you feel the Ronin like stacks up to those like do you have a gimbal that you use so I actually use I mean I don't use a gimbal for my DSLR okay like you know microphone thuds my jh4 mostly I used the DJI Osmo mobile algaas first version so but I have a play around with the making sure the name is the bigger road right the row uh mmm Nona I'm Aronian anyway yeah the double have to Canada and you know from from a practicality point of view like it's it's uh it's an amazing piece of kit but you know setting you up and everything so like with the Ronin s that you could you know have that one-handed I mean it's heavy don't get me wrong but it's you could still have that flexibility of you know doing some of those shots which will be much more practical like you know getting into smaller spaces things I did see that there's there's a stand I don't know if it's built in or if they had it screwed on to the tripod mount but they had that folded in and that was like the second handle yes it looked like a staff yeah yeah so yeah it's pretty cool so uh looking forward to playing around with that yeah I really want to try it out to like I have I have a one-handed gimbal from before that's just a I'm not gonna say what brand it is or anything but I just I think it's a piece of junk now because I got it when one hand and cables were starting to become a thing yeah and of course like point one point knows of anything you know yeah it's it's uh yeah it gets better with time as you know yeah so there's been there's been a couple of trend like main themes to CES and I'm wondering what your take is on this I one of our friends Michael Josh actually called it a boxing match of sorts here at CES because it's Vegas between Google and Amazon all right okay assistants going at it yes so Google assistant of course and then Amazon's echo library with I'm afraid to say Alexa but I just did Alexa finding its way to so many different devices yeah I guess my first question would be what is your assistant of choice so my assistant of choices Google home I mean I I don't have anything against lecture is just um it's more integrated with everything that I have right now so um plus Google sent me a bunch of stuff so you know a so I mean you know I've got a few Google I've got the Google home and then I've got the Google home mini as well and it's linked up to my philips hue light system it's linked up to my smart thermostat so yeah I nest it's a - oh hi I was pretty it's pretty popular in the UK I know that they just sort of they had some announcements here as well with young camera um but yeah I mean I've had it at my place for some time so it's it's nice to have that but yeah I mean Google like I've been using Google assistant on my phone as well so it kind of just integrates with you know everything having Google home is just this is something I'm familiar with so again like if there's any Amazon Alexa fans I always try to do a disclaimer when it comes to Android versus iOS or when it comes to Google Home Office Alexis I've got nothing against you right whatever is your personal preference but my personal preference is cuckoo home I feel the same way I mean I had the HTC u 11 life which has obviously Android with Google assistant built into it because it's Oreo or at least nougat and the Amazon Alexa app was in there because they wanted have it integrate so you could choose between the two assistants I tried using Amazon Alexa for a while and it just didn't feel like it was doing as much as assistant wanted to or I wanted to with the system and I had a couple people ask me this already they don't Google or Amazon and I just said there's no such thing as Amazon or Alexa Maps mmm you know so that's kind of my main thing yeah yeah totally so sell that phone I would ask Alexa you know navigate to this place it would just open Google Maps anyway exactly exactly so yeah I mean it is what's I mean it's it's built into especially feel somebody who uses Android like with me I primarily use Android it's integrated with everything right so it just it's just easier for me personally how about putting assistance into like everything like they're starting put them into the smart displays now yes but of course speakers and headphones yeah I mean so I had a bit of a tour of the Samsung booth so they've got Bigsby integrated with everything yeah so for instance I've got the family hub I've got the 2.0 they've got the 3.0 now so that's a small refrigerator which has cameras built into your fridge and yep I described it is something that you never think you'd need but once you've got it it's like this is so cool cuz I can I'm here in Vegas and I can see what's in my fridge that's true from here which is like really cool but yeah I mean they've got the integration with everything so I mean there's some things that I can see myself using like say I don't really cook much but I mean if you are somebody who cooks then you know you could just be like do I have set a timer for this long m8 here is well I seen that but yeah so you know seeing some of those things was really cool and they've got some new concepts where if you're listening to Spotify in your car and when you walk into your house then you can just be like hey Bixby carry on playing what I work with what I listen to and you carry on on your TV or your speakers so there's some there's some interesting concepts I mean it is taking over like I'm sure in like five ten years time we'll have everything I mean like right now my place I mean I've got Google home like I said I was saying like so when I walk into my house mmm and be like hey Google switch on the living room and you know boom yeah it's just like I love it it's it's it's the features it's cool my my dream is to have I mean people say is like the movie her in a way yeah but not quite in that direction but I do want to have a bluetooth earbud okay yeah that I can always have connected to any source I want seamlessly but then it also has Google assistant in there so I can control stuff yeah yeah so I probably have something I might be connected all the time I don't know if that'd be a great thing but I would have it in my ear pretty much all the time I mean the thing is like with with guys like uh something like I'm constantly on my phone right so having that connectivity like especially like I think one of the things is when driving right I I still want to be connected but I obviously don't want to be taking my attention of the road right so having that integration there and maybe you know having it read out any view messages and things like that so you're still connected but you're not you know being distracted in that way so yeah totally um so I'm sure there's a lot of people out there who have watched your coverage already and watched your channel to see what your thoughts on 2017 were but I kind of wanted to backtrack a little bit cuz I want to look at the future but I first want to look at 2017 yeah and just ask you what were your highlights of the year what were your picks we did all of our best of the year coverage and everything so I wanted to see what yours were yeah I mean it was there was a lot of stuff I mean in the small phone space I think was a really exciting time I was because you know I I use Android phones as well as Apple devices so seeing the iPhone tent finally with the display I mean because this is something I was really like kind of bored with the design so I mean I actually like the iPhone er to use it on the smartphone space I think for me was it was you know cuz I'm I love smart phones as you guys probably know and especially when it comes to cameras I mean the Google picks for cameras like wow like that's I think you know he's coming to a point where I'm taking my camera out less and less like my DSLR uh I mean I wouldn't take it out much but now he's come to a point where I just like you know I was on the cs floor in his psyche I was you know I didn't want to lug around camera at me and I was just like recording stuff with my smartphone and it's and it's awesome I did do like a best tech of 2017 my personal favorite like this is for what I use it for was the Dell XPS 15 right because okay I am I've been traveling a lot recently and I needed something cuz I'm a Windows user right so hey so I I wanted something that was portable and powerful right and you know having a look around it was like you know you've got some really powerful laptops but they look really crap right they just like huge right so with the Dell XPS 15 the 9564 me is like the perfect hybrid so it's not so bulky it looks really good it's got minimal bezels beautiful 4k display what's the what's the graphics card that's in there is the 1050 1050 okay so it's you know for what I use it for Premiere Pro it's actually pretty good I mean obviously a 10-6 your 1080 possible would be amazing but then you just reduce you have pretty much a desktop that you can say it's like a workstation at exactly exactly and like with me like I've got my backpack and I'm going from place to place so even here like you know when I've been doing a bit of editing here and there and it's just that portability is awesome so yeah that was my personal favorite I think I'm in the market for a laptop and you know what I should be thinking about the Dell a lot more I have to say because I know so many people who are really into the XPS line yes yeah I mean I was surprised because um I can have watched a few of the videos from 50 other guys and like the recommendation was always the Dell XPS 15 we might need to take a quick second if you see a hard cut real quick I mean that don't worry we just had to tell we just have to tell housekeeping that we're good okay so now we can move forward to 2018 I mean CES is obviously supposed to be a sort of a snapshot of the rest of the year which is why the whole assistant fight is interesting to me yeah but are there any trends or is there anything that you're really truly excited about coming into 2018 I know there's a lot of speculation in this kind of question yeah yeah I mean I'm interested to see what what else we can get in the drone space because I come I have been like using drones for a long time and like you know with with the Maverick Pro it's just amazing with a spark so I kind of want to see what can it be having this year and it's quite exciting to see what we're gonna be seeing next in terms of portability and you know quality that you can get I'm also excited again like by Spurs in the smartphone space and to see what else they're gonna be doing we saw some demos the fingerprint scan within this place been something that's talked about for so long it'll be nice to see that in action and did you did you get to see it at all I never get over there okay well it was the vive phone yeah the phone yes I mean seen that unlike on the smartphone cameras side of things like when the Qualcomm submit they were talking about for 4kh do you have video recording on a smartphone sighs true Wow like I I really want to kind of see how that's gonna work and how well that's actually gonna be we saw some leaked specs of the s9 possibly might be fake who knows but you know we're looking at possibly a primary camera with an F 1.5 aperture which is like what is good that's kind of bunkers yeah I'd say so and that's only like something like a couple months away yeah yeah so potentially what it was we're not we're not yeah so many claims here or anything like that based on the leaks that are out that does but that's what's looking like oh yeah I'm really excited to see on because for me like as as mentioned earlier on smartphone cameras like it they're my sort of main area of interest right yeah definitely and I'm really excited to see what we're gonna be having next because last year was amazing yeah with things like the pixel and the dual cameras with the portrait modes which are getting bear and bear and some of the shots that I post like a lot of people like it doesn't look like that was shot in a smartphone because it's so good exactly and then our favorite question on social media what camera was this which is which is why I always take but you still like last time actually tag hashtag not show on a smartphone because be honest but I had like 15 comments on that same picture saying which smartphone was it exactly we know you're lying come on it's a smart well that's great I mean I'm really looking forward to all of that as well and I think for myself I'm just really hoping that we see something really gnarly come out I mean the axon M was the most recent sort of really crazy idea that they went ahead and put into a smartphone we'll see more of that Samsung with their well potentially foldable displays but we don't know what's gonna happen there I mean the latest room is on that side of that might not be seeing it this year it might be nice I mean again these are things that you know we've seen concepts of for a long time so seeing that in you know a consumer product which you can actually go and get and use on a daily basis that would be amazing and that's what we'll see is hopefully the next step yeah I agree I mean think about how long the fingerprint sensor under the display how long that took to come out yeah and even that it's not even on a production model it isn't yeah fully someone's going to get it and also um I'm sure you saw what it was were you disappointed at all that it wasn't like you can touch any part of the display I know a lot people talk about that I know I mean I can that I think I mean that that's way ahead but I mean I was expecting I was being more realistic so like one of the things always says like with the note tape and the SAT you've got that 3d well a pressure-sensitive area yeah which I really like because wherever I am I can just push that and that so I I'm kind of used to that so very ER so if it was somewhere around there then you know I'd be okay with that be cool with it cuz it's you know like with touch ID you kind of it's muscle memory you get used to where it is so I'll personally I think I'll be okay with it but yeah I mean having it anywhere would be would be pretty snappy that would be a bit futuristic I agree yeah all right why don't want take up too much time I know you're probably gonna be heading out from here like pretty much after this yeah I want to thank you so much for having me on thank you for having me as well it's been awesome it's been awesome hang around with all of you guys so it's it's always nice to catch up Qualcomm and now this and hopefully MWC maybe yeah do you think you're gonna be there well it's not so far for me socially so yeah I forget about the proximity there well I'll tell you what uh at the end of all of our videos and livestreams for this show I want to make sure I give you some time to plug anything that you want to if you're not already following then you know do go ahead and follow me I'm super safe on everything YouTube Facebook

follow me on there if you wanna see lots of tech stuff as well as be it selfies yeah there's a lot of that I didn't notice myself and then I was trying to get some tips from him about like you know doing some Instagram stuff as well so I've learned I've learned a lot from you man - it's always good to hang around we we bounce around ideas yeah and love the tech community and YouTube is awesome
