hey what is up guys i'm pbht here and you might remember a couple of weeks ago I did a dear Apple video dear Apple please refresh the Mac Pro please so then yesterday we got a rare insight from Apple about a product that they're working on but not revealing just yet which turns out to be a new Mac Pro that's coming um so I don't want to say that Apple watched my video or social or definitely saw it but you know the message got echoed out there and Apple is listening they've got an ear to the ground so of course that being said it can't be just Apple we have other companies that we have things to say too so Samsung in the past year so we've had a bunch of questions about what's good with Samsung you know obviously they had the battery issues with the note 7 and then recently a bunch of their flagship stuff got leaked into oblivion but now that it's finally out and released Galaxy s8 is official still got some stuff to say to him ear Samsung you don't have to compete against Google with every single little piece of software that they handle already they do it really well like Sammy you have such a long reputation like a long history of using Google software Android but then also building a Samsung version of like every single thing Google makes already doesn't it seem like a really big waste of resources and time I really thought about this like Samsung has been making phones for a long time they're smart they've been doing it well there's gotta be a good reason for why they keep doing this but I really can't think of it so now Galaxy s8 comes out and it's a beautiful phone it's got an awesome camera great-looking display phenomenal design all kinds of awesome specs but its biggest new software feature is a new Samsung assistant called Dix V and it has its own button on the side of the phone let me know if any of this sounds familiar LEED Bixby it's a new intelligent interface that reimagines the user mobile user experience Bixby understands context it knows what's happening on your screen but Bixby also learns and adapt to your routine to anticipate what you need when you swipe to the right on the home screen Bixby takes you to a contextual personalized page that shows you the information you use from the apps you use on a one convenient place you'll see series of cards for native apps like email and gallery and third-party apps like Facebook and Eber and fixity will organize these cards based on where you are and what time it is in the morning you might see and use and weather and at night your alarm and step count and the more you use it the more it learns the third part of the new Android search experience is called Google now Google now gets you just the right information at just the right time and all of it happens automatically Google now uses things like your search history your location history and your calendar to figure out what information you might need and win you also see a beautiful header that changes based on your time and location you also see the Google now cards beneath it your cards will get smarter and more accurate as you use them and we're just beginning ok so if you haven't already put together Samsung is now making a super smart bixby assistant on a phone that runs Android 7.0 which means that phone already has Google assistant which is we doing pretty much all of these things for a while for a couple years now and really well but why again like why are they making the same thing that Google's been making for a while now granted there's a couple unique things that Google assistant doesn't do right now like the photo recognition in the camera you can hold the camera pointing at something it'll give you a link to buy it if you point it out a banana it'll give you a link to buy a banana whatever I guess that's kind of cool but overall it just seems like an unnecessary amount of effort basically copying something that Google is already done competition is good but not when you're just copying something and the products already free maybe maybe let us remap the bixby button to the Google assistant if we want or let us link it to any app I'm not asking for a Google Play edition or anything I know that's not going to happen but like it would be actually a legitimate feature if you had a custom button on the side of the phone kind of like you did on that galaxy s7 activewear we could link it to any app we want that would be a legit awesome feature your Samsung your first party cases for your phones need work the Galaxy s8 like I've said is a beautiful phone but with that huge great display and really thin bezels on the top and bottom and sides we obviously know this phone is going to be a bit more breakable and susceptible to damage if it drops they know that they've tested the phone themselves kind of funny that you can drop your phone in a pool and it's cool but if you drop your phone next to the pool not so good anyway when there's people that get this phone there's going to be two types of people one is like me less common but I won't put a case on it because it's too beautiful I just got this really nice fun I want to show it off but number two is the people who won't use this phone without a case because it's so delicate at don't want to risk breaking meat if they drop it they sign up for a two-year contract got to get a cake this is your chance Samsung to compete with other manufacturers and make all the products better you have the dimensions first you know where the weak points are on the phone this is your chance to make the case market really good and this is the case you come up with what is that this is terrible in every way I think every single way that it could be bad the color is shape it's not good oh my god it looks like a bikini for your phone but like made out of play-doh it looks like you hired the guy who designed the iPhone 5c case and like lock him in a room for a month with like crayon it looks like a fisher-price case for a fisher-price phone but it's not really a fisher-price phone if you know what I mean you need work Samsung serious work so that's pretty much it just a couple pretty general requests things I figured we should talk about things I think we could get from a company that we like a lot and who knows maybe someone from Samsung will end up watching this video in which case you guys should also keep the headphone jack around so thank you for watching talk to you guys the next one
