hey how's it going Dave 2d here so MWC is happening right now and there are a few devices that have been announced I'm just gonna go through some of them and give you my thoughts on them the big one the flagship phone at this event was the galaxy s 9 from Samsung and most of the information from that announcement was leaked like way before the event but it's still a pretty cool phone if you don't know much about it like the some resist it's the same kind of design and shape as an s8 but there's four big things that's got a brighter screen faster processor stereo speakers and a significantly improved camera now the camera looks pretty cool on paper supposed to have a variable aperture from f1 point 5 2 F 2.4 and just in laymen terms that just basically allows you to control how much light is hitting the sensor through a physical aperture change which honestly sounds really neat but my gut feeling about this tech is that it's gonna be a bit of a gimmick and I may eat my words when I actually do my review on this thing but if you think about how this campaign has played out I feel like Samsung would have plastered compared to photos between like an F 2.5 lens that they have right now versus like their old si that was locked in at F 1.7 they would show differences of these photos if it was significant like wouldn't that be the smart thing to do to make people like amped up and kind of interested in buying this phone for the camera but we're not seeing that we're seeing a lot of the slo-mo stuff which is cool but I want to see the sharper pictures now in their defense the galaxy s 8 last year was such an awesome phone I think for a lot of people it was basically a perfect phone with a couple things that were imperfect and the S line just kind of fixes those few things so now you basically have a perfect phone for the galaxy user now there's something else on the S line that not a lot of people are talking about it's the updated heart rate sensor or heart rate monitor I'm not sure how they're doing this but supposedly it can read blood pressure so traditionally blood pressures read through a cuff like every hospital every like clinic will use an actual cuff you gotta burn your arm wrap it around inflate it to get your blood pressure that's really the only accurate way that people have been able to get blood pressures the s9 can supposedly do this with an optical sensor now if this is legit if this isn't just like smoke and mirrors from Samsung that is freaking huge to be able to get blood pressure off of an optical sensor on your phone I know it doesn't affect most like young people but older people that's that's a real big benefit to be able to monitor that over the course of like the life of the phone if it's legit that's pretty cool aside from that nothing else is really that interesting about the s-line to me I think that's gonna be a cool phone it's great phone but the SA looks like a pretty awesome alternative if you don't have one already if you're interested in the air science okay moving along the other phone that really caught my interest was the vivo Apex concept phone now this is a concept phone it's not a pre-production model it's not even an engineering sample it's literally a concept that's fully functioning and it looks awesome screen to body ratio is just off the charts that has this giant screen absolutely beautiful looking phone up front it's got one point eight millimeter bezels on the top and the sides 4.3 millimeter bezels on the bottom and they're doing this because they've moved stuff around so instead of an earpiece like the traditional earpiece you have a bone conduction earpiece instead of a camera in the bezel it's got a pop up camera it's got a flexible OLED panel to help cram stuff around the edges of the phone and it's got that fingerprint sensor like built right into the screen so keep in mind it's a concept I'm sure it cost them like fifty thousand dollars to make up one phone but it is awesome to feel like that's just the future of smart phones it's the most bezel free functioning smart phone we've ever seen it's really cool okay speaking of bezel free devices the thing that caught my interest the most was the new Huawei mate book X Pro this thing looks sick it's quite possibly the best-looking laptop I've ever seen to date ultra thin bezels nice looking design and it's pecked out well it's running eighth gen you processors and the MX 150 for some graphical kick it's a pop-up webcam because there's no space for it on the bezel it's hidden under a key which is cool but the truth is it's gonna have a really really bad camera angle C on XPS 13 or an LG gram where it's got a lowered webcam and it's kind of like on the hinge or on the bottom bezel those don't have great camera angles but at least you can kind of like tilt the screen to position it to at least a better angle with this new mate book that camera angles fixed but I think it's worth it for the ultra thin bezels now the previous generation of mate book the mate book X from last year was really good but the battery life on that thing was terrible this one it's got a significantly bigger battery I think it's 57 watt hours the old one had 40 I think that's a 50% increase yeah just shy of 50% that's awesome like that's that makes the battery life an all-day battery I'm expecting like eight maybe nine hours of battery life they claimed twelve but if you look at the fine print I feel like that some really aggressive battery management's like if you no one's running their device at 115 s that's just not a realistic measurement the hardware is good overall though there's one concern well two concerns one I don't like that Huawei logo up front to feel like it's pretty obnoxious but the big one I think this affects more people is the whole issue but security now I don't know how much validity there is to this but there's that fear that because it's a Chinese company is a hardware somehow bugged or compromised by the manufacturer I feel like there's some fear of that personally I don't think like it doesn't affect me at all it doesn't bother me at all but I could see this being an issue for people they're just a little more cautious with their online security and stuff like that but that basically wraps it up three devices I think are pretty cool from MWC there's still more to come hope you guys enjoyed this video thumbs if you liked it subs we loved it see you guys next time
