what's happened in Brian Tong here ed welcome to Google issues for all the Google you can think of now this is the prime month for the cream of the crop with Android phones the LG G six officially went on sale in the US on April the 7th and the galaxy s 8 will drop on April the 21st so which one is really faster in the real world between the two well we know the SAT is using the latest Snapdragon 835 in fact it's the only phone to have it right now while LG is using last year's best Snapdragon 820 one and this was in order to get their phone out before the s8 instead of waiting it out to get supplies of the 835 s that Samsung pretty much hoarded for themselves now there are several videos online and they aren't really scientific but the general consensus is that the s8 is faster in real-world tests when it comes to booting up the phone or opening up apps versus the LG G 6 but it's only faster by a second or in many cases with apps just a hair of a second now speed matters but these are really small incremental gains you see these days year to year but right now the galaxy s 8 is the fastest booting phone on the market besting the iPhone 7 plus Galaxy s7 edge and now the LG G 6 alright the YouTube TV service officially rolled out last week pitting it directly with sling TV DirecTV now and PlayStation View it brings a familiar YouTube interface with DVR capabilities for shows at $35 a month the biggest catch it's only available in five cities right now Los Angeles New York Chicago Philadelphia and the Bay Area one drawback is that you have to use a chromecast or a cast compatible device to get it on your big screen until Google makes an actual app for Apple TV Roku and Amazon fire now I know it's for mobile users but you still want to watch TV easily on your TV it also has your big four networks ABC CBS FOX NBC but it lacks channels from Time Warner and Viacom so that means no CNN TNT Comedy Central or AMC now the service right now is good but it's not great because of its lack of cities and for $35 you're not really getting all the poor channels that people expect out of a cable service but if the cable package works for you then I think you'll like it but it has plenty of work to do to get more support for cities and TV networks that really rival what the others are doing all right it's been rumored for a while but a new card in the discover tab of the Google home app shows that the Google home will have multiple user support the feature isn't live at the moment but the idea is to allow Google homes have a personalized experience for each user in the house rumors claim the speaker will be even able to recognize individual voices in order to automatically switch accounts this isn't a big ass but Google start handling basic options like reminders sending messages and creating calendar events that haven't been available yet once you get individual users set up thanks in advance all right the LGG 6 and Galaxy s8 are the Android phones for April but there's still a lot of you waiting to see what can google do for a follow-up to the well-received google pixel and really my personal Android phone of choice now the next-gen pixel might feature a flexible OLED display from LG according to the electronic Times in South Korea that claims the goog has offered to make an 880 million dollar investment in LG's display division now that offer could change but Google is looking for a stable supply of flexible OLED for their next pixel phone apple signed a similar type of deal with Samsung to ensure they'll have the screens they need for the next iPhone dropping later this year but just remember what Google did with their first phone ever the pixel 2 could be special all right that's gonna do it for this week you can email me at Google issues at cnet.com or tweet me at brian tong thanks so much for watching we'll catch y'all next time for some more of that Google ishes you're delicious
