Best of CES 2019!

2019-01-13
hey guys this is Austin and today it's time for the best of CES first we have the Royal flex PI this is the first commercially available foldable smartphone so you actually can buy one of these right now and the entire thing is built around a super thin OLED panel so the actual display itself is a seven point eight inch OLED with a 1920 by 1440 resolution it's not exactly the sharpest or crispiest thing in the world but can saying that it is a flexible phone I can give it just a little bit of props there for you know actually working even though the display is so thin it actually feels reasonably sturdy a big part of that is the hinge actually does have a lot of strength to it and on top of that it does have magnet so when you close up the phone it does stay flat now it is actually kind of fit in a pocket although just like the surface book it doesn't actually go completely flat you do have a little bit of a book shape what's cool about this is this is actually on sale right now now at $1,300 letters probably not a lot of people are on board but it is really cool to see something like this which even though it's a little bit of a rough state right now it's actually coming out I feel like this a couple years is going to be super cool red hydrogen really yeah yeah look it's cool the main issue is is that doesn't quite have that level of polish right the hardware is decent but especially the software has a lot of bugs and of course it's an early unit this is something that shipping right now it tries to detect sort of like you know if I'm using it from one side or the other but in my experience it just wasn't particularly smooth or worked well next up is the honor view 20 now this bypasses the standard notch of 2018 for what is known as a hole punch display the front facing camera is literally right in the middle of the screen or I guess in the corner of the string personally I don't really mind notches all that much unless it's something like the pixel 3xl but I will say that something like u1 plus 60 is probably closer to what a lot of people will appreciate now this does have a little bit of a cutout which means that stuff like the status bar does come down a little bit so in reality it's actually not a huge difference than having a notch but you still get to get rid of the bezels as far as like watching video content it's not quite as much of an obstruction there is a lot more going for the view 20 than just the display though first of all it has a really cool laser etched finish on the back which I personally think looks cool on top of that it has some serious specs around back you have a 48 megapixel camera and that is augmented by a 24 megapixel camera up front that my friends is a lot of pixels so if it is in the same 500 price range as its predecessor you're getting a lot here four thousand milliamp hour battery you've got that curing 980 and the headphone jack now when you talk about CES especially this year there are so many displays so first of all we took a look at some of the stuff that LG has cooking up so now I do it have a fully rollable OLED so when you're not using it it can just disappear and on top of that they have a killer looking 88 inch 8k OLED what's also impressive is the Samsung Hewlett 8k so 8k is actually a little bit of a buzzy thing this year at CES there's quite a few TVs around but the Samsung one is seriously impressive it is a massive ninety eight inches even if you look past the size what you're getting is such a bright and clear picture the dynamic range especially some of the really bright areas was super super impressive I've got to say I've seen a lot of cool TVs here at CES some of these 8k units from both LG as well as Samsung are way way better than I expected last year's Samsung showed off the wall their first foray into micro LED but this year it's pretty much ready for primetime all it is is a series of panels that you can put together and what's really nice about this is it does give you a lot of flexibility so yes it's not quite as nice looking as something like that 8kq LED but especially when you have a giant giant display of them it looks really impressive now if you haven't had enough of 8k yet well how about a camera to shoot it that doesn't cost $50,000 well that's what sharp has so this is a mirrorless camera that has a micro 4/3 sensor depth a little bit on the small side the idea here is that for less than five thousand dollars you have a consumer ish camera that can shoot that full 8k video now sharp says they will be able to do this onto an SD card so if you want to light your SD card on fire with 8k footage I guess that'll be nice but the important thing about this is that it is still slightly a concept they will be showing a more final version a little bit later in the year but this is something that should be on sale this year my main concern though is it because it has that Micro Four Thirds sensor what kind of lenses are you going to be able to put on it that will be able to resolve full 8k detail I mean that's something like well north of 30 megapixels and that's that's a lot let's charge so ice its sharp sorry next up NVIDIA has the BFG D : Imperium X 65 it stands for big format okay it stands for big format gaming display get your minds out of the gutter now when you're talking about specs this thing has it all 65 inch HDR display it's a full 4k it runs at 144 Hertz it has G sync and it costs five thousand dollars so it's a cool idea is essentially this is a giant gaming TV which is a little bit more on the monitor side it does have an Nvidia shield built in but I mean if you really want the ultimate gaming this place it's probably it or you can buy a car coming back down to earth we have the Samsung space fighter now there are two sizes a 27-inch 1440p as well as a 32 inch 4k what's really cool about these is not necessarily the displays but the stands so what's cool about it is that it's super flexible you can drop it all the way down you can pull it forward you can push it back there's a lot of stability here which is nice to see monitors have been kind of boring lately the space monitor is actually available on Amazon right now for pre-order I'll have a link in the description but what is not available just yet is the Razer Raptor now we did cover this in our Razer video but essentially to catch you up this is a 27-inch 1440p high refresh rate free sync display with a really cool stand and some interesting functions but it's also $700 so yeah LG also had a brand new ultrawide monitor with a massive 49 inch size now the name of it is the LG 49 WL 95 C 49 inch ultra wide monitor what's cool about this though is is not only a giant giant screen but importantly it's basically a pair of 2560 by 1440 P monitors stuck together so with a 5k by 1440 resolution this is going to be awesome for gaming it's not going to be out just quite yet would you better believe I'm gonna get my hands on one to take a video of Nvidia took CES is a great opportunity to finally announce our CX for laptops so there are a few options right now there's our CX 2080 2070 as well as 2060 as well as the various max Q implementations and there are a ton of laptops or updated the show if it's time for you to maybe consider upgrading a gaming laptop this is probably a really good time to do so there are way too many designs for me to go over in one video but some of my highlights we're definitely the razor blade which can go all the way up to a 20 80 max q also side note the razor blade is getting a full 240 Hertz display option soon as well as a 4k OLED touchscreen I'm excited about that but on top of that a su showed off the ridiculous rog mothership concept now I say concept but this is actually something we'll be shipping very shortly in the next few months what you're getting here is essentially the ultimate gaming grade surface pro so it has a kickstand it has a keyboard which pops out and is detachable but inside it has the specs of the most ridiculous over-the-top gaming laptop you can imagine there's a lot more graphics action than that though so on top of the r-tx 2060 which is filing on sale 350 dollars is a little bit expensive but it is roughly equivalent to something like a 1070 TI and on top of that AMD surprised everyone with the announcement of Radeon 7 now this is essentially an upgraded version of the current Vega architecture on a 7a meter process and it's $700 it is meant to go head-to-head with that RTX 2080 so we'll see exactly how it performs when it comes out early next month but it is really cool to see all of this momentum you know it's a little bit of a honestly boring year last year for the most part but it's nice to see all of these different graphics cards and all these different options showing up in the market it is a good thing for everyone third generation Rison also made an appearance so it brings a lot of power into a 7 nanometer process should be roughly equivalent to a cry 9 with lots power which is exciting and on top of that digital storm had one of these smallest gaming computers I have ever seen I mean I guess there's like laptops and stuff but oh hi that is definitely me this guy's a legend right here excellent thank you
