hey what's up guys a quick disclaimer here that this video has a lot of static especially users wearing headphones so I want you be mindful of that prior to listening to this video but we decide to keep it anyways because PocketNow is a friend of android authority and we've been planning this video for a very very long time so hopefully you enjoy it and please accept our sincerest apologies for the static enjoy why is it ready or not it's Josh McMasters what's going on everybody and I know a lot of you out there are probably really loving the video right now because you see who's in the middle between me and lawn over there we got pocket now in the house Michael Fisher and hi mayor Nevada and we go ahead and hand the mic on over to you guys and you can just sort of give our viewers a little bit about yourselves a little bit of info especially for the few of the very very few I'm sure I mean I know who you guys are and if you did oh he's the actor he's the one who extra for Robert Downey jr. is out right summer recovering I am I would say how many would call me pocket now's lead review device quarters suppose I do most of our video content and Jaime hangs out hangs out in Honduras wanting more Bluetooth headsets is that right you thank you I appreciate it I'm still waiting I'm as on your screens everyday actually on the pocket now daily bringing you three-minute news show that I quite like every time I watch it which is about once a month right exactly weekly every week and that's about what we do we talk about mobile technology just like you do Josh beautiful it's worth mentioning that right before this video was here we were chumming it up I'm sure that there was a little bit of footage of that already and then the moment I had Michael the mic he gets all professional and he sounds exactly like his videos every single time it is extremely on yeah normally I'm just dropping f-bombs and driving badly and ordering bad coffee oh man we are the competitive snorers I'm not sure if you do that but it's a lot of fun no one has been okay set up the decibel meter and well the fact that no one has told me tells me either I'm really bad or really good so I'm just afraid to hurt your feelings that's okay surely the feeling is mutual especially between our two respective channels we have LAN over here and yes he did we were able to go out and see and yes this is the first time hi mate has seen the hair alright yeah we had that on for first recap video actually are weird here at CES video anyways we got a lot of great feedback you know what we're gonna take this time then do you there's got to be a story behind it aside from you just coming here what is the story behind that because it also says 2015 back there so tell us about that I mean I already said it several times it's it's it's my dream it was my dream to come to this show and this is you know you guys already know I've said it a couple times already it's my first time here and I wanted to make it special by by doing something different and that's the whole reason behind you know the CES on the side of my head and the 2015 on the other side so yeah well I'll get one next year but yeah that's that was really the whole idea behind it it's just I wanted to make my first time you know memorable and special in some way and I figured you know why not getting cut inside of my head so and I ever really got good barber so I trusted him and the funny thing is like when he kept a 2015 on the side of my head he actually put 2014 so you had to fix it yeah 2015 but yeah he had I was scared for a minute so but you know it's it turned out good so so that's really story behind it that's an awesome story because I think we can all remember a time in our lives before we covered this stuff and if you were me you read to everyone else covering the stuff and you thought like man I must be a biggest weirdo in the world for wanting to go to like a trade show but I was so so enamored of CES in particular then I totally feel you on that I think it's really cool that you expressed it that way so that's that's awesome well absolutely and we had a pretty eventful day already I'm not sure how you guys Tuesday wine I mean you you were able to go see those TVs that you wanted to see so much all right Sony the Android 4k brah vias that's awesome I actually had a really interesting run in with FUBU you know foo who they created the newbie and ubi they look if I remember correctly every time at the clothing designer not FUBU yeah right that's what we thought for a second too but they make these tablets that are for adolescents from from from infant age all the way to preteen age and their focus is improving education for all kids rather than just have a manufacturer create like a parent mode they created a whole ecosystem around the education of a child and I thought I was amazing and we were able to take a look at that for a little while yeah it was really awesome but what has your guys's they've been like so far and and even this is our for today is the actual start of CES but we've been at this for about two three days now how was your guys's experience with so far experience for the show is easier to answer because days are not really if you know how it is I don't know what today is relative to yesterday yeah but we have we have been really really really excited and really really disappointed and it happens every see it happens at every trade show for that matter but it's specifically what we cover we focus on mobile promise CES is not really a mobile show that's gonna happen two months from now that's really the issue I I try not to be so picky about CES because this is really the whole banana not just mobile it's got everything vehicles it's got TVs right it's got everything and a lot of people cover more than mobile and then that's the reason why I'm like okay there's a lot of innovation probably not what we're looking for makes it a little difficult for us but so far I like I like what I've seen in the show and it's always interesting when like people who do not make a specifically mobile product would like you to cover their product because it has a mobile element and sometimes that's too much of a stretch but sometimes it's really really cool like just outside of our frame we have a how do you pronounce it sous-vide I a sous-vide by Innova yes and I was you didn't it's not our meat so I was ignoring it until someone started shouting me shouting at me from it yeah and I realized it was my my first employer the very first person to give me money for professional voice-over work that it hired me in 2005 are you serious okay to go are you serious small world so this is why she has it's cool do this it's like well you said it it's small world and it that's exactly what it is I mean a lot of us here have it gets Nicole from mobile geeks one of our good friends called it a solitary existence where we we kind of work for what we work for but it usually is just our own existence then we gets it hang out with our friends you know that's what that's what shows like this or like you know Lunn you know your your this your first CES and you know by the way on behalf of everyone congratulations for coming and you know if it was your dream you're living it and I hope that has been working out just fine for you but you know yeah like you've been meeting all of these people that you've only seen on computer screens how is how is that experience been for you man it's it's kind of surreal in a way because I'm like Michael Fisher's right here Jaime's right here and I just fist bumped him it's like any shorter than I I wasn't expecting that it's it's just I don't know it's almost kind of like I'm starstruck in the way cuz I I watch these guys and I look up to these guys so it's just it's cool I like it like even you I've told you before you know like I I watched your videos before I even was a part of Android authority so for me to even be a part of the team it's it's crazy for me you know cuz like I just I mean you know the story of how I applied for Android or 30 I just shot off an email it just on a whim I didn't think anything of it you want to know something true story yeah we all did the same we all did this say we had nothing to lose yeah that's that's pretty much how I thought of it too so and you know it's great and honestly you've been doing an amazing job here and I've seen you guys just work as well like like oh really I said in the last video when we were with DOM and Marco we're killing it out here honestly we're killing it and CES is Beth yeah and CES has been pretty good to us now speaking of CES is what I wanted to move into now we already saw we would heard from you on yesterday that the 4k TVs from Sony are your favorite things so far I want to ask you guys what's the best thing you've seen so far I was gonna say Jaime's answer is mine so we're gonna steal each other's thing but I'll say it the G flex 2 from LG I was a big fan of the original G flex it is my show phone now that the blackberry classic has given up and oh how does that happen I ran out of data on our review SIM card which is fine that was a great network us mobile but also I got tired of using a platform that could not support the kind of traffic we needed to send yeah but you know what I will have more thoughts on it later I don't want to take up the floor talking about it but then I've got the Lumia 1020 but I use the G flex because it lasts so long and because it has a lot of wonderful features that I that help me out at CES and the G flex 2 is nothing but a honing and a reinforcement of everything good about this and a reduction of everything that was really kind of underwhelming quick thaw quick bog flatten the G flex 2 and it's a one plus one except with a dragon a 10 and a sell you accept the invitation system oh we don't and everything well I've meant design-wise okay you notice the top and bottom that's what I'm saying no totally totally totally there are some keen similarities between the two hi Mei how about you men G flex 2 you know I wish I would have seen it's not because it's the only flagship that got launched at this event it's not because of that I've been an LG fan since the g2 I mean forget about the design and the UI the battery life it's like it's relaxed and I feel the didn't defy anything like the g2 did too big honest that's high praise it's terrific it's futuristic its well-designed and they focus on the things that matter they didn't go for 2k displays do you really even care about that can you really notice the difference I mean for me the over sharpening on the g3 was a disappointment so for me for the G flex 2 to be you know the essentials a good display good battery life hopefully we have to test that we'll see it's a smaller battery ergonomics hopefully durability hopefully we have to test all these things your drop test that's that's that's what's gonna play it all I'm looking forward to watching your drop test and if we do do that like it's been it hasn't been something that we've done for a little while but I want to be surprised if we did for that honestly perverse coming from the guy who put the G flex in a bag and start shaking the crap out of it I didn't like it I knew I was forced to do and you think I like dropping phones yeah well yeah we're in total agreement here I do believe that the G flex 2 is probably best in show or at least a top five at the most but you know honestly um ergonomics I think is already kind of the jury is not even out for that I think it's a great feeling phone off and yeah the curved display is the only thing that I think eyesight from like a 2k screen that actually proves itself to the usage of the user a 2k screen you can't really prove that that's actually really useful to somebody yeah so that's the thing blonde your your 4k bravia czar though still your answer for for the thing yeah that's that's still my answer cuz I saw him again today and it's just they're so freakin sweet I mean you gotta see how even if none of us combined can't afford him I don't care if I can't afford him but I'm just gonna enjoy them while they're right here I mean they're so thin it's crazy it's crazy how thin they are I mean I mean Sony that Sony even made that a point when they said it's thinner than the Xperia smartphones but it's thinner than a lot of smart phones yeah like I I held up or I had Kevin hold up his experience to it and it's it and I even had one of the Sony guys there he said is 4.9 inch or four point nine centimeters or millimeters thin so it's crazy yeah I didn't have a chance to look at them and it's just technology as we coming in because inconspicuous conspicuous sorry too much one inconspicuous and I like that I like the fact that it's becoming invisible and that that's really the point you don't really look at a wall anymore it's it's your flat-screen TV right there you're actually enjoying your experience that's really what you're looking for you don't really like you sure we come from the geek days where we like gadgets but we like the fact that they're becoming less and less predominant and it's all about the experience not necessarily about what's providing it so I'm not running not like last night where I was running out of space on the card we I have plenty of space on here well maybe so but I did want to say this we're gonna what I was gonna say was our viewers are not complaining at all we got Andrew thorn and PocketNow in the same video come on now but with that in mind with with with uh with in mind that we do have a little bit of time left here people are kind of rolling out just a little bit biggest disappointment so far I see yes I'm really looking forward to I'm gonna hand the mic to you and you guys just have fun I was I was slated to see I'm not gonna say the brand name because I'm gonna trash him but I was slated to see a wearable that was going to sort of redefine my perception really solid wearable I'm not gonna do it and you know he was much smaller than a SmartWatch it was arguably more useful in certain situations and it may well be all those things have to be frank we were promised a working prototype and I went all across Las Vegas to find not really I went a quarter of the way across Las Vegas in rush-hour traffic anyway I left this place to go to a different place you know this trip is on yeah man I've traveled a great long ways to find to find a block of resin that was non-functional it was a mock-up unit that was a big big frustration because this could have been a really cool thing and so that was a disappointment for me I'm not ready to say what the the finished product isn't waiting yet to see we're gonna look at but maybe Jaime has an idea of what that might be for us I don't know I don't know I it's hard for me to declare a disappointment there are so many again the good the cool thing about CES is there's a lot of innovation behind it there's a lot of purpose for it some of the products here are vapor where they will never reach the market we we know that for the longest time but then again I guess companies like for example Samsung I was expecting for a company that's making a comeback it's trying to make a comeback good point to at least bring something to this show you know this show this is the market that makes Samsung what it is and yet we got MIT tiered and lower tiered phones but then again again the problem is CES is more than just about bones they do TVs they do everything so probably it's because of our scope but they disappoint me not necessarily exactly exactly I MWC that's gonna be the show that's gonna be the show indeed Ilana I don't remember what your answer was last night oh no you weren't there that's right what is your biggest disappointment of CES so far I'm gonna have to because I think you mentioned it in one of our recap videos I'm gonna have to go with Nvidia just just because I read the the chip it's it's awesome we know it's it's a powerful chip and text yeah yeah on paper but like historically we haven't seen like Nvidia chips in a ton of devices like it be one or two and then it's just for a reason the Tegra 3 was such a disappointment I feel OMS became skeptical about yeah that's that's that's true I suppose but I don't know it's just I want to see their chips and more products and and then the whole thing with the parking the autonomous car it's just the way they presented it like you said it just wasn't presented in a in a fashion that everybody that got everybody excited about it so I would say that that's probably my biggest letdown for me it was the same thing it was in video because I was there to you my for the first ever event I did for in Viet Feroz for Android thority press conference that is was in video two years ago when Jenson Huang accidentally called shield project Thor and it was hilarious and but the thing is after that it turned out to be an amazing press conference and the shield was an amazing product I'm a big fan of shield tablet by the way I'm sure our viewers know but the yeah the the thing is this time around automotive technology which is the which is kind of the story of CES in certain ways it's been the focus they they presented it in a way that honestly it almost put us to sleep it really did you know don't get me wrong there are plenty of people in that press conference that we're right there with them they knew what teraflops meant for example and um but the rest of us who are here for different focuses the Tegra x1 was a great announcement we were expecting to hear something like oh look how fast this tablet goes the x1 will change the game and then they put it in a car and then they showed us four videos over and over again of a car parking on its own and it and and that car took like two miles an hour it took so hot it took so long for it to park it wasn't necessarily the release that was bad it was just the way it was presented but I'm about to say actually I was about to sign off the yeah we've definitely put a bit of a longer video there but I'm sure a lot of you guys don't mind because we have a great group of people over here we've actually been been buddies for a little while so it's it's great for us to finally get a video together that is even at this length no one cares you guys love it I know you know we got we do we do too so and thank you thank you very
