alright what's up guys i'm kim Bhd here and welcome back to another ask mkbhd video this is number 35 it's been a little while since I did one we did one every month of the past two years or so we got a whole bunch of ask mkbhd episodes in and now took a little break from it but I'm starting to bring it back and we're doing a little something different this time I asked on Twitter what you guys wanted to know but I also asked if he could submit video questions figured we'd try that out and turned out to work out pretty well in fact it was actually trending on Twitter for a short period of time which I don't think I've ever seen before for Q&A but it happened and now there's plenty of questions so let's get into answering hey marques my question for you is what do you do with all those phones once you get done reviewing them you know they all go on the infamous Jordan never to be seen from a heard from again and you know what you put your review out your great videos which are a gold standard I just wanna know what do you do with those phones do you ever give them to friends do you ever sell them do you just leave them in there do you ever pull one out use it every now and again just want to know you know what you do with them after they're done yeah I generally keep a lot of phones around probably more than you would expect so the drawer you've seen in probably studio tours and videos in the past I usually keep one and then another generation of each phone that I review so right now we have the galaxy s10 I still have galaxy s 9s and s9 pluses we have iPhone 10s Macs and iPhone 10s I still have iPhone tens I don't really go back too far before that so they'll either end up being recycled donated given away sold etc I buy a lot of phones we don't have to keep all of them hey marques this is Stetson landscape and your smartphone Awards video 2018 you gave the best budget phone award to the poco phone f1 makes sense great phone packing a lot for $300 but you can currently get a pixel two for around two hundred fifty six dollars unlocked on swap ah my question for you would you go with a brand new budget phone like a poco f1 or would you go with a used flagship phone like the Google pixel - interested to hear your thoughts yeah great question I'm glad you asked this and this is a pretty complicated one because it actually changes based on the phone you're talking about but this is an age-old question do you buy a new budget phone for you know let's say the dollar amounts to 300 bucks or do you buy a two or three-year-old flagship that has come down in price to that budget phones price and I'd say the answer really depends on what you want in a phone you got to know what you want that's usually the answer if you want software updates for the next couple years your best bet is buying a new budget phone because that older phone is less likely to get more software updates if you're trying to get a great camera you're probably gonna get that out of a high-end flagship that's coming down in price instead of buying a new budget phone I think generally for most people you can get more bang for your buck out of a or flagship that's come down in price because you're not sacrificing as much and we usually see is a worse camera and worse build quality and budget phones that's just where they save their money but a lot of people have just a great time on either so it depends on what you want hey I'm Gibby's G my name is shahida and I'm from Pakistan my question is which one would you pick between the Galaxy fold and Huawei Maddox for your personal use of course thank you the question question of the our galaxy fold which folds inward and protects the big folding screen or huawei mate X which folds out but has a way cooler looking outside I'll say this with the disclaimer that I have not actually played with and mate X yet some people have I've watched videos of it but I've only actually used the galaxy fold and so from my experience when I see a huawei mate X it looks way cooler and so I feel like I'd biased towards that but then of course we had all the the durability issues with the galaxy fold so it's kind of hard to say I just know I'm really excited to get my hands on the huawei mate X that's gonna be one that I think changes a lot of people's minds about foldable phones if it turns out well hi I'm Kay PhD so I'm curious how do you kind of juggle between your life as a professional frisbee player and a YouTube viewer I'm just curious first of all nice shirt so for those who are new or might not know I've been playing ultimate frisbee for a long time and I've been playing for the pro team in new york called new york empire for the last two years so our season just started a couple weeks ago so basically every weekend and during practices during the week I have that and for me the timing actually has sort of worked out this way ever since I started playing frisbee is mostly on weekends like tournaments or on weekends for the pro team games or on weekends we have a practice during the week at night so that's after work so as far as overlap there isn't a whole lot of that I've always said the toughest decision I'd have to make would be between like a big tech event and a big ultimate tournament or a game or something like that luckily that doesn't overlap pretty much ever where the mullahs US team coming to you live from a very sexual device and we're wondering what your expectations are for the oneplus semi-pro Emily I can say that all right serious question for you would you rather your first foreign Chou's first words be hey what's up guys or remember to like and subscribe if you want to see more videos like this one Wow I'd be very impressed if those are the first words that is a very serious question though I think I would say I would rather them I'd rather the first words be hey what is up guys that's fine right that's a couple reasonable words two straight together in a row I'd be cool with that hey mkbhd who it was your favorite youtuber back when you started and who's your favorite now my favorite youtuber when I started would have to be sort of the I think that big like the big three of tech og tech YouTube and those were John Rhett injure John four Lakers soja knows best Mark Watson and Chris Pirillo all of whom are still making tech videos Tuesday I have to give my inspiration or my credit towards them because they literally paved the way of giving the idea that you could even make tech videos on YouTube a thing so thanks for them for that my favorite youtuber right now actually is probably I'm gonna guess none of you were gonna know this is he does sketches caleb city I'll link his channel right here he just literally does all these sketches with like himself and his friend one or two people but they are absolutely hilarious so go check out his channel subscribe I'll put a link below hey marques here's a question for you what would you do if YouTube suddenly cease to exist if it just stopped existing tomorrow what would you personally be doing well well it's the age-old question if you were in a YouTube or what would you be well actually it's a little different YouTube does exist but then it just suddenly stops existing that's a little more dramatic I don't really know what I would do I guess this is the part where I have to fall back on my college education and use my business degree and my marketing expertise to find a way to do a job with that related I think fun fact is before I got into really doing a lot of YouTube or it was actually as I was doing a lot of YouTube but I was studying business and marketing because I kind of imagined my future career path to be that guy who works at a company that works with youtubers like I'd be that the marketing manager of a tech company that would be working with youtubers to send them products and make products better so I guess answer your question I could still probably do that somewhere today but yeah if YouTube just stop existing pretty dramatically I also think some other video service would just bubble up to replace YouTube and fill in the footprints that left behind and I guess you said so it's been two years since Google home and other smart speakers have been released once your opinion about them two years later and do you still use them that's well done well done so yes I do have a Google home I have a Google home max here in the studio and I have a Google home max at home it's not my alarm clock that's too loud to do that but I do use it to ask questions pretty regularly I set timers with it I ask what the weather's gonna be pretty often with it I ask it like the random trivia questions like how many legs does a horse have try it yourself it's great I think the next sort of evolution of that that we're gonna start seeing more is screens on them we've seen this with Alexis stuff and we're probably gonna see this rumored Google home max with a screen on it just having a UI for it to be able to show you stuff is pretty cool but yeah home stuff home assistants are definitely alive and well what uh what do you think would be the next biggest piece of tech for the next decade you know mm sad mp3 players says intense and mobile phones what I think is going to be for the 20/20 hmm I hope he's not getting in trouble for doing this video on the job at Best Buy so that's a big question so this two decades ago we had mp3 players they blew up then this last past decade we got mobile phones if I'm being honest I think the next decades probably going to be mobile phones too and then wearable tech will start to be more of a big thing in the future but I've I've been pretty firm that I think mobile phones this thing that we pick up and use and then put down is like the form factor that we're gonna have for the near future that's just me maybe I'm not future thinking enough but that's the way I see it hey marques its John with this question you might be getting it a lot I don't know but being that the Galaxy fold has been released when do you think Apple will begin producing or even release a foldable iPhone I'm a huge Apple fan not sure if I would like to see that but it would be really interesting what do you think yeah a foldable iPhone or foldable iPad that's the question so I guess the way I see it Apple's always had a not always I'll take that back they haven't always had this but lately they've had what you call a late mover advantage in a lot of technologies they don't have to be first to the bleeding edge of stuff but when they do choose to update something or hop on board the new tech did they know it's proven the mistakes have been made by the first movers and they can get it right so this is really a perfect example of that with folding phones the Samsung's and while ways of the world are the first movers they're the you know they'll call themselves the pioneers and the innovators but that's what they're doing they're using their first mover advantage and their supply chain to try to make a splash and they'll make their mistakes and clearly some mistakes have been made already with them but in the near future or the far future if Apple sees that it's worth its potential they'll swoop in and they'll get it right in theory so how long into the future are folding phones like really gonna be a thing before Apple decides to make a folding iPhone definitely not iPhone 11 probably not iPhone 12 I could start to see in like the next three to five years that perhaps starting to get tidied up and maybe there's a foldable version of the phone but I don't think it's gonna be anytime soon hey marques just wanting to know how you got started in Ultimate Frisbee and how that even became an interest for you good question I think my origin story for ultimate might not be the same as many others so I went to Columbia High School in New Jersey and if you know a lot about the history of ultimate that name might sound familiar because if you go to the Wikipedia page for Ultimate Frisbee and look up where the sport was invented the answer is in 1968 Ultimate Frisbee was invented by students at Columbia High School in New Jersey so the sports kind of had a rich tradition in at that high school and it's there's a JV team and a varsity team so when I was in middle school I knew that that high school had a frisbee team and I knew I wanted to play so I instantly when I first got there tried out for it played on the JV team for a bit and then graduated to the varsity team there were always tournaments there always traveling it felt like a real varsity sport even though technically at that time it wasn't really one so yeah for me it started because there's a rich history of it in New Jersey I think for a lot of people they you know they pick it up in college or they discover it in their neighborhood or at a park or something like that but that's my og ultimate story it's pretty loud in the hallway but that's where I'm gonna end it thank you for your questions I think this was fun to do the video style I think we'll probably do that more in the future stay tuned on Twitter for when I asked for when we do these and you can submit your questions there and of course there's always the links to anything I talked about that are important there that we're in the video or below but that's basically it thanks for watching catch you guys the next one peace
