this coverage of CES is brought to you by Toyota hey guys it's dark slacker venue with android authority we're reporting live at CES 2014 we're here with some kind folks from SourceFed and of course is Joshua guard from android authority what's going to everybody and yes we are interviewing the great tricia from SourceFed nerd a quick question how is your CES 2014 so far it was busy um there's so much here and the perfectionist in me always wants to see everything and check everything off the list and there's absolutely no way you can especially when you're here for work yeah you know you're you're on a very tight schedule and you get a chance to see I think probably about forty percent of the show especially when you consider what's at the other hotels not even here in the convention yeah I mean everyone has locations all over the strip and sometimes off of it so driving back and forth it's just it's a Kim be a nightmare definitely do you guys have a car we do just get a card the question is how many hours have you slept over last week Oh altogether probably nine nothing yes since Sunday ok yeah if you do ever get a car for one of these shows let me give you some advice ok don't be the only driver cuz that's me yeah well as the resident Android expert you know my office yes what is the best what would you say what are the highlights of Android for you at the show I'm Android in the cards I think the newest thing for me because I'm always looking instead of just the next evolution of something we've already seen I want to see something brand new and not that having any smart features and cars is brand new but really bringing Android itself and that type of customization two cars is brand new oh yeah um the only question that it really raises from you know and I loved hear what you guys have to save it metal is um wouldn't you just be distracted all the time well that's the problem right I that I think you know my face is buried in my tablet my phone all the time you know when driving my car yeah I was I saying no no we're going to talk about that ok ok ok say i don't know like having the big screen on the dash or even in the center console yeah exactly what i would probably want to see what you know and maybe this is the next step after this is a heads-up display on the actual like yeah when she look hey you know where they have kind of dlp laser mm-hmm exxon so you actually see it's just in your periphery rather than you can look at what I've also seen it in the corner of the rearview mirror I'll have some how would you just lay up there as well yeah a thread of driving at night time and stuff yeah really cool on so that and then of course there's the curved phones now people dropped out that you and here's a good question from a guy's point of view I've been talking about it as a lady um so we got the LG phone is is curved top to bottom and Samsung's a side to side yeah which one is better for your hand and your ear Josh do you play with both of them i did and i have to say both have their merits but if I had to if I had to say which one was more expensive your hands drumroll please I would have to say it's the galaxy round oh just in terms of the design just in terms of the design though because it does sit very nicely and it is yeah and it's basically I know three just just a little bit more compact but I love me that note 3 the rebut the reason why I say this though is because I really only have one problem i love the g flex they're both stellar in my in my opinion but my only problem of the g flex is just it's just a bit too big ok the curve is great place to do yeah i think that i wanted to see the G flex 2 that was rumored it would actually been degrees where is that yes what little time you might have had to look at the rest of the show ok what's something that really caught your eyes I'm 3d printing was really fun to see in action this year I can't afford 3d printer so I don't have one at home nor in the office um 3d printing printed food was awesome 3d printers that can print metal organs do you know ok we can maybe one day our eyes yeah but like seeing actually come to life I mean we read about all the different stuff that 3d printers can do yes but actually watching it is a whole other thing and then robots were really cool this year toaster there's a lot of really cool of android-based robots or raspberry pi based were amiable robot so the AI isn't quite there yet but they're getting the shell of it for sure and I mean if you think about it we have the facial recognition software we have all of the pieces that we really need to put together almost to Rosie the robot we're cool yeah absolutely yeah for me I would have to say higher resolution displays are really something that i want to see everywhere i'm still debating on whether or not it's good for a phone but we did see well but a 4k television stole looks really awesome a 4k tablet on the other hand I think it's a little bit more excessive secret yeah sure cuz if you pick up a phone use for Caleb the general user might be like I don't know you get my I know about you guys but how many movies do you really watch on your phone does she's possible maybe like her at the most like a video podcast here and there okay I watching susumu bore some podcasts yeah watch next time every day on the plane so do you guys have that problem when you come to CES every year do you look at what you have and your leg it's just not good honestly I think that the whole consumer electronics Marchesa saturated after all day for all intents and purposes awesome 1080p displays been around for a long time yeah out of the gold standard you know increasing the resolution is just going to consume battery life faster we haven't made those improvements to the architecture yet italian piece of golden standard but i think for a lot of people a lot of these manufacturers are just kind of scraping the bottom of barrel for innovation and new features them hmm but a lot of consumers just really gonna keep up no yeah you'll see a lot of that trying to cram Bluetooth into jelly yeah so keen to tell me about 186 new features they had on the new tablet but I don't know we were just know so many fish my goodness and it made actually big improvements you know with their galaxy tab pro line to a point for advice actually that one hour Award for Best Actor so let's talk about that for two seconds magazine UX go well it looks like a kind of a hash up of I guess Mashable and Instagram and there's one more flickr what's the one Flipboard pull it forward that's right thing again samsung finally you guys are nicer than me i was like it's live tiles it looks more like Flipboard but i do like that you know you can actually customize everything to a certain way and yes life tiles does doubt that i know but you know even with that in mind what are you looking forward to poor to this year when it comes to technology you got this general not even just android okay cheaper phones are coming with yeah chief overcome asus zenfone 6 199 awesome specs replaceable backs to build quality that they're pretty known for really like to see better technical prices that's good forever yeah accessibility like I say there's always something that we really look at when it comes to yes let's hope that gone are the days of the six hundred dollar phones with no contract especially now that so many services are starting to go no contract there's gonna be a big issue yeah that's yeah and there's a huge fence or step because a lot of people don't leave in a gouge $105 absolutely absolutely but as you see the newer and newer tech emerging it's very hard as the consumer to not want the biggest and best out their legs or you may not need a 4k resolution on your phone but you want it haha and you need a projector the x laser keyboards see that's I mean you see it at you're like ah but it's so cool down there take it happen you know well never know when kids like drop close to a thousand dollars on something isn't they G flex that dip cost a thousand baht whoa okay we're talking literally yeah like I literally did a drop test on the G flex it that's crazy yeah cuz the whole flexible display thing right it was supposed to be unbreakable it's not unbreakable it's not yet been great the display so gently only the glass in the operand is yeah are they using gorilla glass of it I don't believe so because I with us actually they just had announced one couple weeks ago I believe where they talked about 32 we're getting their incoming so that's what I would have seen 2014 I don't know if it's actually coming this year um the s5 hopefully at mwc yeah galaxy note 4 i'm like to see the house a note boy already 1 plus or two there you got a couple heavy hitters coming up guys for any of it um but yes the drop videos make me cry a little bit I'm sorry I'm so sorry they do where the videos where they just blow them up okay contrary to popular belief I don't actually like dropping these phones no matter how happy I might seem on the videos I'm always crying afterwards it does it makes me cry don't even want a man to look away some of the comments ur not ready either but there are people are curious right yeah the only phone we've ever dropped that is withstood the drop was the experience he wanted technically it detected why do you say technically because I didn't turn on after we just saw one get ripped apart and put back together by an engineer well but they know exactly how to rip it apart but it matches the little connectors they just chill it all together a little bit better ocean will smack it down on the car oh my god literally no we dropped it on the floor and one way these plastic or something I love it none of them we drop down the floor when we picked up it looked exactly like out of the box I'm not being broke and all i will in turn on her door i drop my phone all the time so it's very nice that you guys take one for the team and destroy yours so that everybody else can know what happened to us but yeah my sexy we do it for you guys i have the s3 and it's been dropped all over the place alright well thank you again to tricia from a source vendor for joining us here and with really great to meet you for the first time we're looking
