oh hello mr. Osterberg are from android authority what's going on everybody so I have my tea right here because like many people who came back from CES I got really really sick and it took me just about a week to get over it so I hope I'm hoping the tea will get me over the top I've definitely gone through my fair share of dayquil and nyquil but I think I'm just weather the storm I should be getting better now being behind the camera at CES was a very interesting experience because I got to see everything through a lens but not only that I got to relive all of that by being able to put the videos together every single day and each day since the show so we're one week removed now from the Consumer Electronics Show of 2013 so I thought it would be a good idea at this point to bring you our best of CES 2013 it'll include all of our favorite gadgets our favorite devices it will also include some of our favorite clips and stay tuned until the end because there's a pretty funny gag reel along with a lot of the b-roll footage that we didn't get to show you the first round but we get to show you today so from the bottom of our hearts that Android Authority thank you so much for watching we hope you enjoyed all of our CES coverage and next year we're gonna do it bigger and better so stay tuned alright let's go alright so but first things first left right so this is my first time in this is a dare across from Android Authority calm this is my very first time out in the Fabulous Las Vegas and as far as CES goes he wasn't the only one aside from Darcy this was pretty much all of our first time to the Consumer Electronics Show now the one thing you notice right away when you get to convention like this is the people a hundred and fifty thousand people made it out to CES 2013 and it showed not only was it hard to get into the venue but once you got inside it was hard to get around now here's the Samsung booth one of the busiest ones during the convention you can see just how many people were there to take a look at the latest and greatest that Samsung had to offer but look how awesome it looks and it was the same for everywhere else the scenery at CES is one of the first things that you'll remember when you leave all of the companies make their boots look so awesome and it's kind of like a sensory overload kind of the one thing about it is though there's so much going on around you that sometimes it's easy to get lost you can see here Darcy and I trying to find our way over to the video booth which was on the very other site of this one convention floor there were three shell floors each with hundreds and hundreds of exhibitions but you see some really awesome things kind of like this aston martin and this rolls-royce there weren't a lot of cars on the show floor and the cool thing about them is if the door was open you know someone's gonna sit inside and I was no different I had to get inside of here and see just what a Rolls Royce was all about now I may never have this car in my life so that's why it was kind of nice to check it out one of the reasons why the Preview Day videos even existed was because even though you come to us here at Android authority to look at the newest and the greatest phones when we're at an event like CES we want you to be there with us we want to make it as if you are right beside us experiencing everything that we get to experience because we're looking at technology through wide eyes and we're also fans of everything that's going on around us here at the convention floor kind of like this display here I mean look how cool it is that they're displaying their Smart TVs speaking of televisions they were one of the biggest draws at CES 2013 now 4k televisions are pretty much going to be the future and it's debatable whether or not they're going to be here sooner rather than later if people are going to adopt them because let's face it 3d last year wasn't quite where it would need it to be but our own Derek Ross was set to find not just a better looking TVs but ones with even better functionality underneath and the Google TV's were definitely his forte now just take a look at these TVs I mean they look pretty awesome already but the functionality underneath is pretty obvious when you the remote I mean look at all of the buttons that you have on that now simplistic remotes are a thing of the past now but nonetheless Android seems to be making it on to other devices rather than just phones and TVs or perfect example I mean just look at how the voice search on this TV is working so well it's nice to see Android making it on to a bunch of different other platforms and with televisions being on the forefront you're going to see a lot of things you used to be able to do just on your computer happen on the big screen but now I'm not even going to waste any time I'm gonna get into what was at least for me the biggest announcement of the entire CES 2013 yeah you guessed it I'm talking about the shield now I had the distinct privilege of being at the press conference where Nvidia announced not just the shield but shortly before that Tegra 4 now Tegra 4 is a beast of a processor package that's gonna make it into a lot of new Android devices and it's six times more powerful than Tegra 3 with 72 graphics cores and a quad core CPU it's made to go the distance and it's made for absolute power we're really excited for the Tegra 4 and we can't wait to see it in new tablets even ones that surpass the fastest one out there right now as you can see the Nexus 10 and there are some other advancements in there as well where both clusters of the GPU and CPU cores are going to be able to take simultaneous pictures which makes HDR photography so much more possible on smaller devices like smartphones and tablets it's a pretty awesome feature that is available in Tegra 4 and the demonstration for it was pretty amazing as well it looks like HDR is going to be the future of Android photography and I'm really excited to see what that pans out stay tuned for a video on just what that means once this comes out but then again let's get right into the shield now the Tegra 4 is going to be the heart and soul of the shield and what the shield basically is is a large controller just like that that allows you to control your games in ways that you haven't been able to before especially on Android but as you can see on the TV they're not the actual display he was playing Assassin's Creed 3 the capabilities of the new Nvidia graphics cards are going to be able to stream your PC games over to this little portable device that's just nothing short of amazing at the Nvidia booth we were able to get not really a hands-on but we got really close to the devices themselves everyone wanted a hands-on but that was just not gonna happen this is about as close as we could get to the shield and you can see it running all the Android games is what now but we're really but at least me I'm really excited to see the PC capabilities of it when it streams your PC games from the computer we had a lovely interview with this gentleman right here and you can see me over there on the left side I'm just over there doing my thing and I have to say even though it might just be from a gamer standpoint I really do think that the shield is a perfect example of just how Android is maturing into not from not only a phone interface or a phone operating system but into something that's so much more than that and here we go we're finally getting into the best of phones we're gonna start off with the huawei the ascend mate and the ascend d2 were almost like brothers on the show floored every time we saw one phone its companion was definitely the other that came together no matter where we went here's the ascend mate but we're also jumping into the ascent d2 which is seen right here now the ascend d2 may not have the best specifications on the market right now but it's sporting a five-inch screen with a 1080p display like a lot of smart phones are doing these days it's a smaller of the two which is pretty funny to say because the ascend mate is what beckons on the side our own Darcy lack of a sports a Galaxy Note 2 and he loves big displays and big phones when it comes to the ascend mate he was positively falling in love with that new device he was all over it the entire time we were there and he cannot wait to get his hands on it in the future we also go on to a different phone the ZTE grant is coming from another Chinese manufacturer it seems as though the grand s by ZTE is going to be one of those phones that puts a style maybe over functionality just a little bit as you can see has a very colourful interface again with a 5-inch display at 1080p again that's going to be our trend but while it may have what looks like basic functionality with a very nice skin on top what we were able to find out during this interesting interview with the representative at ZTE is that the entire phone is really in one way or another very customizable you can have the interface customized but also the body of the phone itself comes in a bunch of different colors so if style is what you're looking for I think this phone has it in spades and you can customize it all you want but this is when we get to the best and I think arguably we're looking at the best phone here in the Xperia Z by Sony it already got a lot of awards by the time we got to the Sony floor but we had to take a look at it for ourselves and we found that the Xperia Z really captured our hearts especially mine it's just a gorgeous phone that takes top-tier specs expandable memory 5-inch screen 1080p display and puts it into a body that is not only really sleek but also water-resistant as you can see here we found that the Xperia Z was able to go into depths of 3 feet for up to 30 minutes now that's nothing short of amazing and in the first demonstration we saw on the first night in Las Vegas we saw that even after you take the phone out of the water it's able to work right off the bat and if for whatever reason you don't really like the all glass look of the Xperia Z there's a variant called the Z L you might be giving a body resistance but what you get instead on the back is a very nice matted plastic and also a slightly smaller body even though all the specs and even the size of the screen are exactly the same it's just an amazing product and it deserves all the accolades I has gotten and it certainly gets the same appraised four months and so there you have it CES 2013 was nothing short of amazing from the sheer amount of people that you saw to the kind of people you saw on the show floor to even the people that you got to work with it was just a blast all around and one thing that you get reminded of every single day at CES is that technology is moving at a pace that sometimes we can't keep up with it in a way that's what's awesome about it thank you so much we hope you enjoyed all the footage that we had at CES we can't wait to do it bigger and better for you next year and we want to leave you with this a small little blooper reel a lot of b-roll and even if these things aren't necessarily Android related per se they still are part of our best of CES 2013 we're going to see you next year we hope you're along for the ride that's in the outtakes a little bit of the epicMealTime there for you guys we're coming to you live from CES 2013 it's Android authority everybody Spanish music get those all out oh yeah can you hold it and I move my finger ramp think about owning a smartphone or tablet what is the number one thing that is always on your mind battery life it's like a mortgage it's like a virus haunting your mind the key is the power cartridge or nectar pod is what we call it and each of these pods has enough energy in it to power your phone for two weeks to a month and it's really simple to use you just take the pod insert it in when it's done you can recycle it and pop another one in I disagree with your choice of phone by the way plug that in yeah sorry about the phone yeah now you were telling me before that this has how many many 5000 milliwatt ours just blows my mind well thanks everybody thanks for taking the time to listen today I'm Dave Anderson I'm an automotive Solutions Architect with NVIDIA and I kind of help look after the North American automotive side of things for NVIDIA this is a total gauge replacement so this is actually basically replacing all the analog needles all the dials that you normally have in your vehicle today so with this we can change the subpart of this composition and this can allow us to bring in other kinds of mobile apps could bring in navigation could bring in a content database you
