what's up brian Tong here with all that Google issues it's everything google that we can pack inside of a show the one plus two is the android phone with the biggest buzz right now especially since they continue to announce each new feature one by one now over the past week we found out more information in addition to its announced snapdragon 810 processor the 1+2 phone will bring a USB type-c connector making it the first flagship phone to use the reversible connector they also announced it will have support for a fingerprint sensor that will add convenience and security and recently leaked photos of what's believed to be the new one plus two phone from website phone arena allegedly show off a design that features an all-metal body with a wooden styled backing and what looks like the fingerprint scanner at the bottom of that silver section on the back and in another first from one plus the official phone announcement is set for july twenty seventh and it will take place as a special virtual reality press conference that you'll be able to watch if you have hardware like a vr viewer like cardboard or if you own a VR headset set up now that's going to be pretty sweet now one plus is also working on their own specific cardboard headset for their phones in the future I know they're manufacturing a lot of hype and attention but I have to give the oneplus team some props because they're doing things that no company is doing right now and that deserves some kudos that was also one of my favorite granola bars growing up just in case you really cared alright in samsung news there's been rumors that a larger screen size version of the galaxy s6 edge is coming soon and now websites and mobile reports that samsung's codenamed project 02 is for a larger phone expecting to use a 5.4 inch or larger Super AMOLED display with a dual sided curved design and a hexa core snapdragon 808 processor with physical dimensions at 151 millimeters tall by seventy three millimeters wide that would easily support a screen larger than the current 5.1 inch display and the new device will also use a 3,000 milliamp hour battery is currently being called the galaxy s6 plus that could change but an official announcement is coming soon also according to a report from business korea samsung has found a way to almost double the capacity of its current lithium-ion batteries making a new silicon cathode material that allows it to support new levels of energy density up to twice that of current batteries devices keep on getting slimmer but we're not seeing any games and battery tech and I've been begging for breakthroughs in this area as a priority and this could be one of them coming down the road but unfortunately not anytime soon + LG is also working on their own battery tech by shipping a new hexagonal battery shape to smart watch makers now check this out the design allows it to cover more surface area and reportedly improves battery capacity as much as 25 percent compared to traditional rectangular batteries according to the korea times so we should maybe get samsung and LG working together on the ultimate battery okay thanks guys and in more phone use the latest version of the google app was updated a 4.8 last week but a new teardown has revealed that offline support for ok Google is on the way which will allow you to use some voice commands without the need for an internet connection the android police article reports that you'll still be able to say things like okay google make a call play some music or turn on Wi-Fi without the need for any online connection and that's pretty sweet and finally Google and the Federal Railroad Administration made an announcement this week that maps will receive an update with audio and visual alerts when users are coming close to a railroad crossing in their route this comes on the heels of railroad accidents rising 9% this past year we're not trying to make light of this but people are getting into more accidents because they're paying more attention to their phones instead the road and now it's our phones that are going to have to tell people to pay attention all right that's going to do for this we show you can always email us at Google licious at cnet com or tweet me at brian Tong thanks for watching we'll see you all next time for some more of that Google issues Google ish
