so first with the Galaxy Note seven who our own colleague Jessica Dulko dull Court reviewed this week here's what's going on inside the galaxy note 7 it's got a 5.7 inch curved screen it runs Android marshmallow come on we all know new gets the new hotness 64 gigabyte agree days away from nougat I'm sad I think nougats next week isn't it I guess I guess it should get on it look let's get that out of the way it should have nougat on it the announcement will but just not who knows when 64 gigs of storage iris scanning that'll scan your eyeball so you can unlock the phone because that's the thing we all want an S Pen Stylus water-resistant for 30 minutes in five feet of water and it starts at the low low price of $850 oh my god it's a phone big big costly expensive phone what do you guys think about the Galaxy Note 7 so personally I'm not into big phones no really I have an iPhone se cuz I wanted that exact shape I really really like having a 4-inch iPhone decided when I'm on the subway or or a train I could hold it with my one hand and not get robbed by somebody ranking it out of my hand is that a thing I feel like that's a thing maybe I'm paranoid I think you are but I mean you know yeah but I wanted to chase down with some paranoia I wanted a better processor but I Scott in our office had the phone and I held it and it has a real good grip to it because of its curved screen okay so even though it's like a 5.8 inch screen I could actually see myself holding it right and this is a here about is if I think it's 5.8 that has this is a five-point this is a 5.7 mm-hmm it's manageable I also have freakishly large hands at cs6 age that's the six edge yeah yeah there's a six so the but the note is significantly larger than that the note was it's just a little bit larger than that but it didn't feel that way somehow right and has the pet inside but on the whole I'd prefer I wish more smaller phones were out with better specs more and more like reasonable phone sizes appear to be like getting the shaft in terms of features sure but they'll be lower in costs but maybe I want to watch a 1080p movie on a 4-inch phone I know nobody else does but I would like to yeah but you you don't need to watch a 1080p movie on a 4-inch phone like you would you could get away with watching like a 360 P movie but do you know I mean like what no I'm just I mean I get away with MIT but like there's still a color gamut thing going on where it just looks a little better but I'm not D huh no I'm not trying to I'm not trying to like crap on it you are again but you are so alright I guess I understand what you're saying but like going back to the notion of like big tech like yeah it seemed like we were going in one complete you know over-the-top sort of like phablet direction for a while and now I don't think what you want out of a phone is uncommon I do think people want something that's not as gigantic as five-point-seven enough this thing I have a hard time with what that's yours no this is well it's it's our house iPhone that we I do camera testing stuff right and that's a six plus this is a six plus 6s plus 6s plus and yeah it's just it's I mean I've got big hands in that yeah it's uncomfortable to use so but like my point is also this and I guess like this is maybe a crappy sort of comparison but like these are pretty I guess these are pretty much the same size right they do but the green looks a little bit my screen might be a little bigger and that's all the topic of today's show bigger is better except for Michael does yeah nevermind so I guess what is for us what do you like about having a larger phone what's the fun that you have again I have a Nexus 6p mm-hmm III like it a great deal I also wish like I don't know this I had a an lg g3 which had the same screen size but wasn't as tall mm-hmm it's like for me you got to figure out a way to like make the edge-to-edge as a sort of tiny as possible like I want I don't want any of I don't want any of the front of the phone to be wasted on like this part the white part I know that's asking a lot but but that's for me like that's the next step it's pretty much one-to-one like there's a lot of like space up there that I'm pissed off about so Raj jumped in in our chat saying that this time a phone company should put their money on R&D on batteries make supercapacitor batteries smaller in size so I can do for a better life that is what everyone is working on everyone wants to figure out a way to improve battery life to me that is the next big technological Renaissance that we will hit is like amazing battery life and we're just not there yet and that's why the Apple iWatch 2 that's coming out I don't think is really going to impress anyone you know they're talking about rumors about the watch were supposed to have a cellular connection independent from an iPhone and now that's probably not gonna happen so it's battery thing we'll get there we're just not there yet and a few chatters Quincy Brandon and Oscar are talking about the iris scanner that's in the galaxy note 7 which is that's it that's I believe new for Samsung in that phone yes one of them saying that people would like it if it's on iPhone I'm creeped out by IR scanning in general I don't like the term iris scanning iris scanning implies that I need to like well do this let's do that let's come up with an apple name for iris scanning because I'm sure they'll have I scan you know like when you put the word iris in it just implies mm something clockwork orangey and I don't want to do that just call it something else just caught like a pupil looker I don't know just don't call it iris but looker people look here that's terrible you
