MKBHD Hangout with Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside!

2013-12-06
Hey how's it gone so Cortez how you doing man pretty good this is the mkbhd and Dennis Woodside Google+ hangout on air so first time I've done one of these in a long time but I'm excited for this one so first of all if you want to introduce yourself I'm assuming you don't really need a huge introduction for the people who are watching this but in three sentences who are you then so what's that ah so I'm Dennis I'm the CEO Motorola I'm a dad I got two kids 12 year-old actually 13 year old now in the eleven year old who are who are actually fans Marquez of your reviews and our our our aspiring tech reviewers themselves they critique everything that we do so nice ah but it's great too great to be on air with you right so yeah that's good to have so basically we have the event we've had the event page up for they think two days or so and there's a lot of questions that people have about Motorola and everything that you guys are doing and it's a good time of year to talk about stuff like this so I'm just going to go straight to like the most popular stuff which is the Moto X because everyone talking about it everyone wants to know about it um so the the whole cyber monday huge spike in demand with what kind of can you describe like breakdown what happened um basically with that whole thing yeah so you know we were we were overwhelmed by the response to the offer the $150 offf offer and and as I said when in sort of the note that I sent out earlier in the week we we were we were under prepared for the kind of demand that we saw for for that that offer on Monday and we shouldn't have been but we were now the good news is that we rallied and were able to change the system so that we could issue coupons for folks to come back and and come into the Moto maker site and make their devices and even then the demand was overwhelming we sold literally tens of thousands of thousands of coupons in formats and which was our allotment of you know the devices that we could actually build for the for the promotion so I thinking we learned a lot you know the the there's clearly demand for devices that are not tied to a contract at prices that are reasonable and I think you know we're going to listen hard to that to what that the consumer told us on Monday and on Wednesday you know we're going to do it again on Monday of next week so 9:00 a.m. Pacific noon Eastern will have the same offer we have you know again we can't we can't put massive quantities into that kind of an offer but but I think we're going to explore this notion of different pricing or price points and trying to do a little bit more for consumers that want those devices that aren't tied to plans and and I think that that's a big opportunity for us yeah yeah because I was I I did a video just on the Moto X for that off-contract three and fifty dollar price versus a nexus 5 two very opulent and it's funny because in the United States not a lot of people actually buy phones off contract until obviously this gigantic spike so I was I was interested to see how many I sold so that's pretty impressive tens of thousands of people decided that that was a good idea um yeah I may be more right we don't really know however how significant the demand was I think you're also seeing it with the carriers are realizing this too so 18 t just this week announced that they have a new share plan which allows you to bring your own phone and then your bill is $15 less a month so I think you know as the market broadens I think about my kids you know for for students students don't necessarily can necessarily afford a data plan an annual plan and a lot of students don't have the credit scores to get an annual data plan right so they're going prepaid and they're bringing their own device and they're going month-to-month and that's it that's a real opportunity and we also saw with republic Wireless right so we partnered with republic Wireless to bring X to them they're doing incredibly well with with with a combination of X and their service which again allows for much more flexible data pricing month-to-month you can actually change your plan mid month from a five dollar plan to a forty dollar plan if you need 4G you know so I think you're going to see a lot more creative plans and you're going to and we're going to try to provide the devices that help those plans come to fruition yeah definitely I think pricing is extremely important when it comes to that kind of stuff just because of the type of people that would want to buy an off contract phone or just any phone it happens to be a good deal um but continue along continually continuing along motox so a lot of people were asking about the wood backs because the whole customization thing is really important for the Moto X and a lot of people are interested when are people going to be able to get wood backs from moto maker yeah so you know we're working hard to get to get wood into the mix the the issue is is simply getting making the product manufacturable and making sure we're we're using materials that are sustainable and so forth so I wanted to say coming soon and my team isn't letting me say anything more than that but believe me it's soon yes I was really surprised by actually how many people were interested in a wood back device I was I have a moto X in this sort of black and yellow combination and I like that but I was surprised but how many people care about like having that wood back on their fire and are willing to wait for it so that's pretty interesting yeah you know I think what's cool about moto maker is it's really just the start we can do lots of things with different materials over time which we're working on for for next year and and even even into the early part of January February so I think you'll see more choices in moto maker as we as we bring some of these materials and now each time we do a new material you have to test all the radio frequencies and make sure the phone actually still works so it's actually a lot of work to add new material into the mix yeah definitely and there's already a ton of options already but speaking of options a lot of people are also curious about availability of the phones in general because we mentioned in the United States you know that particular market has a sort of a changing way of how they buy phones contractors on contract the different carriers and stuff like that then there's the whole international market and a ton of people have been asking me when can I buy a motox in Europe or in South America or in Asia and whole lot of different countries yeah so so motox is available now all throughout latin america and in fact in in some places like Chile and Brazil it's among the top selling smartphones right now so so the market is is clearly there we're working to bring moto maker into Latin America so you have the customization options as well there's a much more limited set of custom choices that we have made available mostly in Brazil and then outside of the Latin America we're exploring a bunch of places Europe is obviously a key area for us so I would just say stay tuned we're going to get there certainly for for some time in the next year okay yeah that's good a lot of people work like that's probably the number one question I've gotten like in my inbox is I live in this country why not I get it well we wanted to but we wanted to make sure we were successful in our home market in the US and in Latin America or were also also story been strong before we went out outside with with Moto X right and so it's also it's the Moto maker I guess every Moto X is being manufactured in are assembled in the United States does that is that have an effect in the way you guys are scheduling like where you ship to next well they're there they're assembled really around the world so for the Moto X is that we we shipped to Brazil we make them in Brazil we have a facility there we make them in in Argentina as well for for per other markets so so yeah one of the things that's challenge though with Moto maker is you need to be close to the consumer so we have to we really had to reengineer our entire supply chain to be able to bring moto maker to consumers and that'll be the same for any other country where we bring moto maker in we're going to have to really think through the supply chain issues which are challenging right okay I'm going to move to the next big question or big topic I'm just going to say it my next video is a review of the Moto G cool great that's the first time I've said that bike my next video is about so next video is about tomato G spoiler alert I really like it and obviously for the price it's a great option for a ton of people especially because it's so cheap off-contract to get exact and availability is also another thing because this I believe is is going to be available in more countries like right off the bat is that right is yeah so you know moto G is is part of our vision too we think of the product that we're selling is not just a device it's really the mobile Internet and if you think about the world today there's a billion people with smartphones but there's five billion people without smartphones and four billion of those five billion are using feature phones today so a challenge for that we've given ourselves is how do we help bring those four billion people into the mobile web because once you're on the mobile web your life improves right you're more efficient you can you can get around easier because you understand navigation and traffic and all that stuff that you get on any smart phone today you can communicate better with your friends you can record your world with with with the camera so we just think it's a good thing and and so moto G is really the first product that's headed in that direction which is how do we how do we create a phone that's as good as iPhone 5 objectively as good as iPhone 5 for third the cost that was the challenge to the team and really the technology has gotten there the the screen technology and the cost of the screen technology has gotten to the point where you can build that and and so that's what we did with Moto G it's available now in the major Western European countries of UK France Spain and all throughout Latin America primarily Brazil in Mexico it's available online in the US and then in q1 it'll be available horizon a whole bunch of other places so pretty much everywhere you would want to buy a phone ah we're doing pretty well so if you go to amazon co uk or Amazon site in France or Spain or Germany or even Amazon in the US now it's it's typically the number one selling smartphone and what I like to do is read the reviews on because you know those are consumers who bought the phone and and the reviews have been really good everybody understands that this is like an amazing phone for for a totally exceptional price and and people are excited about it yeah and I was fast that it's already on top of those charts which is really impressive yeah check it out check it out yeah so so having I've owned it for a little bit now uh but I also have a moto X and that just got KitKat so Android 4.4 um so my natural question is when is moto G going to see Android 4.4 so so we'll ship in the US will ship in beginning in January on KitKat and then four markets outside the US we're going to get it up to KitKat as quickly as we can probably sometime in January okay that's awesome um so next big next big topic I guess is sort of a more ambiguous one people are just generally curious about a project ara so yeah I also did a video on product RI just because that hold phonebloks concept where that sort of video initially went viral and everyone was talking about it and I was surprised by how many people were talking about it because I didn't realize that so many people were interested in the idea um so just if you could tell me generally what are you guys working on with project ara what does what does that look like for you guys yeah well so the idea behind our is what if you could change the camera on your phone to have maybe a more expensive camera but one that has super zoom properties or what if someone invents a sensor that you can pour it onto your phone that measures my health and some interesting and new way right look right today your phone can't once you buy it it really can't change that much the software can change but the hardware can't change right and we wanted to think about how do we how do we modularize the phone because different parts of the phone are developing at different speeds right imaging technology is developing at a different speed than the core processing technology and and consumers are going to have different times in their lives when they might want to do different things with the phone if I'm going on a on a trip I might want a different camera so that's the whole idea behind our is how do we modularize the phone to enable innovation in different ways and enable people to innovate in ways that are hard to do now because everything is in one one phone right so so we've opened up our site basically to to solicit participants in project ara and then we give the missions and the missions are things like you know basically idea-driven come up with an idea for a new sensor that we could incorporate into into a project ara phone right so that's the kind of thing that we're working on we're going to see where it goes you know will we have a product in the next 12 months it's hard to say but we're pretty excited about about what we're doing and if you if people are interested who are watching the site just look for D Scout comm a forward slash ara and you'll and you're sorry back sorry and you'll see the you'll see the the way to register yeah yeah I actually register for that pretty recently so technically speaking like a lot of people talking about are like you know really confuse like how is anything like this possible I think I read the the sort of tagline for the the one sentence idea was sort of making the hardware as modular as Android was able to make the socket which is now really that's a pretty bold statement yeah um and I think of other like more dedicated technologies like if I'm really into cameras and I buy a DSLR I have interchangeable lenses and that's alright modularity in itself so it's definitely interesting to see a phone with as compacted packages we're used to seeing phones as tightly knit is that becoming at least the idea becoming feasible that it's modular I was gonna ask how how close to the phone blocks video there the phone blocks concept is ara you know the the there are prototype and it is it is pretty close I mean it's it's the idea is that you have a skeleton that holds together a set of components and the components literally slide in and out and and if we had the interfaces and the protocols that enabled the you know the speaker to speak directly to to the CPU then this would all be possible and you can change your speaker out but but the industry really hasn't yet set standards for those interfaces so that so every phonus has a somewhat proprietary set of interfaces and a lot of what the engineers at Motorola do are designed those interfaces and that's how you build a phone today but but what's cool about foam blocks and just the concept is you know if you have the skeleton and you define those interfaces it does become possible to start plugging and playing and that's what we want to enable and then also you're going to have people around the world inventing stuff and we're not going to know what that is that right no individual is going to invent the perfect imager or the perfect speaker but collectively it's it's very possible someone will come up with something really cool yes that's another thing that's sort of once you have the ability to have like modular parts and like you said really cool you can actually slide in and slide out a certain part like figuring out who makes the parts and where do you get the parts and maybe uh you know third-party manufacturers or companies or just entrepreneurs will come up with cool stuff is there any idea of like hardware partners or anyone you'd want to work with specifically like it would be really nice if you get XYZ to make parts for something like oh you know there's already a bunch of companies that are involved that have that have thought of that they wanted to get into this space but it's hard now so if you're let's say you are really good at making speakers and very small form factors and there are companies who specialize in that to get your product into into a phone you have a limited number of companies that you can work with you can work with us you can work with Samsung and so forth ah but if you didn't have to have that limited companies you can just put it out into the market just like you can an application wow that's pretty cool maybe maybe there are 10,000 people out there who really want what you've produced and all you need is that kind of open approach and a different approach to hardware that's what we're really trying to do and if we can stick started that innovation in hardware that would be we think that's going to result in in some really interesting devices down the road and definitely um and so another one more thought on ARRA I'm taking a class called computers in society this semester where we like really looked into this idea of like you have a ship that sails the seven seas or whatever and as it gets old you start to replace the parts so you replace I don't know the hull to replace the the deck you slowly replace parts right by the end of maybe five years later that ship is still sailing and you've replaced all the parts because it's still the same ship and that's the sort of question we looked into so with Aurra you kind of have that skeleton ah I guess a question is like how long would that skeleton last and if you replaced all the parts the sort of compatibility becomes an issue sort of the same obviously it's going to be interesting so yeah and then you could imagine releases every year of it just like an orator has a new release every year there could be new releases each year that allow even more functionality to be changed and modified we're gonna have to see where it goes right okay cool um so back to just a whole Motorola thing as you guys as Google and Motorola work together I have no idea how closely are far apart they're working so what are like Google and Motorola working on together because Moto X was a pretty awesome collaboration in the first place well no moto X was all Motorola I mean so Motorola is we're owned by Google so we have financial support from Google but we operate completely independently and and and Google has been pretty clear that it wants to preserve that independence because Android is an open source platform and and it's important for any partner who wants to build a product based on Android to be treated the same way so you know Motorola has a long history of innovating and and you really saw that with Moto X I think what what Google ownership has brought to my role is the ability to think a little bit longer term because we have we have a you know a patient investor that thinks about opportunities over long periods of time and understands that all computing is going mobile it's a really massive opportunity and then over time everybody ought to have a smartphone so we just sort of have Motorola taken that that guidance and that freedom to think big and that resulted in motox emoji and and then of course there's a bunch of other things that are in the pipeline and and that's that's how it's been working okay so has anything about the way Motorola operates changed since Google's backing of our ownership oh yeah tons of things I mean I you know the company had launched 45 smartphones the year before we acquired it in our product portfolio now in the last 12 months we've launched seven so we want to do fewer things and we want to do them better we had changed the software strategy pretty pretty dramatically to focus on providing updates and upgrades as quickly as we could we thought that was something that the market this wasn't doing and that consumers want the latest version of Android as close to its public release as possible so weary architected our entire code base in order to do that and you saw it with with with Moto X which upgraded 20 days after the public code drop on on Verizon which is which is a very advanced network and requires very high certifications and stability in order to in order to be able to to upgrade so so we've changed quite a bit about the approach of the company the philosophy Motorola hadn't had a product that was marketed globally and that could compete with iPhone and the galaxy line and we're building that brand with Moto X and the Moto brand we think that's really important we're trying to engage a lot more directly with consumers you know I respond to emails all the time and you know go on all the blogs and look at the comments and then send my team notes why are we doing this you know someone's complaining me about it and actually I think it makes for a much more responsive company and that's really important because if your consumers moving so fast that we have to be we have to listen so so we've actually changed quite a bit about how the company operates but but that doesn't mean that Google is is actually you know running running Motorola employment on a day to day basis we're still pretty independent okay yeah so that's that's a new direction like having it's something I've seen a lot more recently our companies try to focus on less devices and better maintain them so obviously yeah exactly that KitKat on the the Moto X on Verizon blew my mind boo a lot of people's minds because I was probably the best example of of getting a product updated as quickly as possible on a network like that so that's that was really impressive to me so props for that um so yeah okay that's that's about all that say that Becca's like having having those quick updates and having a size really proper doing that you know okay we can't leave we can't leave consumers behind and it's it's just to make when when when something new is out there consumer wants as fast as possible it's pretty simple but but it actually required us to change a lot in order to deliver that cool okay um my next topic and a lot people also had questions about this is the whole tablet game so first question is what tablet do you use ahaha so yeah so I use Nexus yeah I have the the latest Nexus 7 okay yeah I have a Nexus I'm probably like the last remaining Nexus 10 loyalists like I love my Nexus 10 I love the front-facing speakers on what what sort of future plans is motorola have for tablets you know we we wanted to we wanted to focus on on what is the largest market today in the market that that we think where we can offer the most which is really to start with the phone the phone is the device the primary device for everybody usually tap will tablets a secondary bit device no one really buys a tablet if they don't already have a smart if they unless they already have a smart phone and lots of people in the world don't have smart phones so again that's why we went with moto G so tablets are interesting I think you know larger form factors in general are interesting you know I can't share anything about our product plans but it's certainly an area that we're we're exploring it again with we're just starting to release products if you have X you have G there's a whole set of products that are coming so I just say stay tuned know yeah I thought the Nexus 7 success was really interesting because of the price point sure getting people again accessibility to a really high quality product at such a low price so interesting to see that the philosophy with the next with the Moto G being successful as well um so another thing is I've read recently that Samsung was is basically takes up more than half of or something like that of like the Android device market share how does how does anyone compete with that like or do they compete with that how do you guys moves and change your strategy well I you have to look at this market and if you were go back just eight years Motorola was the number two player globally with something like 22 percent share Motorola shipped 220 million devices in 2006 that's a huge number of devices and and things changed but the iPhone came out blackberry was successful Nokia was the number one player at that time yeah so this is a it's a it's a market where the technology is changing all the time the approaches are changing all the time what's important to consumers changes all the time so I think it's just a matter for us of what's let's let's do what we know we can do best let's build product that fills needs that we think are not being met in the marketplace focusing on what the consumer wants you know we think that there's we just keep doing that and good things will happen okay so speaking of focusing on what the consumer wants another popular question in the the Google Plus events page was just about just the general philosophy behind the Moto X when I went to the launch earlier uh it seemed like the philosophy was um that people don't really want necessarily a 1080p display they're really happy with like a high quality 720p display and the sort of philosophy of getting the right compromises to make a device hit that nice price point of the Moto X and be really a really nice experience do you think people want like a just all-around nope no compromises just high-quality flagship high-end device like something yeah so our philosophy with motox was we wanted to design a device that was really usable and had a simple intuitive customer experience and and in android believe it or not that's often not the case a lot a lot of Android devices are not intuitive the software uh you have conflicting applications you have to address books you have to music players right you have you have lots of software on top of what's become a very beautiful operating system which is Android so that was one clear goal that we had another goal was we wanted a phone that hit the sweet spot of the market and was was really something that that had broad appeal and and we we thought that having you know the curve back a very accessible UI the screen size choices all those choices were made with the broadest set of consumers in mind and we also thought that consumers wanted to be involved in actually designing their device and having some choice all right so that's why we went we built Moto maker but but we also thought thought that moto maker was the beginning of a much kind of more exciting and longer-term story which is how do we involve consumers in building their phone and given them or give them more choice and you know are as much further out but you can see how those two things tie together and how as we introduce new materials into moto maker we're going to pursue that theme across our product line going forward so so that was what we were trying to do with Moto X nice so do you think in between Moto X and ara there's going to be more customizable moto of Motorola phones with similar oh yeah well what you'll see is is you'll see more materials and that's already you know that's already in process you'll see you'll see different materials that have different properties which you know some things could be pretty cool that we're working on and and what we'd like to eventually get to is is functionality in the device but that's where the line between ara and what we're doing with Moto maker might might converge and that might take some time but that's ok yeah ok um so what is some some random thing that you think a Motorola fan would not know about Motorola some ran an interesting fact about or you or motorola in general ah well here's a random interesting fact that may or may not be su did you know that the first transmission from the moon the the famous words one small step for man yeah one giant leap for mankind those were made over a Motorola radio why and the story is that NASA had a radio that it already had planned them for the lunar mission but it wasn't going to be in the Fadel the the quality of voice to transmit that to the world and they realized there's all this attention we have to be able to transmit what Neil Armstrong says to the world so they they called up a bunch of Motorin motorola engineers two months before the launch which is not a lot of time and say hey we need a radio that was going to have telephone quality sound and that can reach the moon and they literally worked 24 hours until the launch to get that into the into the spacecraft so that that's that's pretty cool story I think it also shows that heritage is still with Motorola it's it's a company that tries to take big leaps hey let's build a phone for one-third the cost of the iPhone but with a bigger screen a better screen you know latest OS all that stuff and and and the team responds really well to those kinds of challenges definitely so what are the kinds of what are the kinds of challenges are you guys focusing on a mobile because I need we went over like having a very refined product selection and I'm working on maintaining them which I'm assuming is a huge challenge in the first yes and the challenge of being able to receive a massive amount of orders with moto maker and supply all that what other sort of challenges you guys face so I think you know one thing that we're all so excited about is the future of entertainment on the mobile device if you think about movies when the projection camera was invented entertainment totally changed it went from stage acting to films and the whole medium came into being and then television came along and you had series and all that and and now but with the phone we're kind of watching the same stuff that we watched on TV or on the Internet even though the phones smaller it can do a bunch of different things and with windy day we said okay how do we change the and create a storytelling medium that that responds to the phone and you know when you move the phone the perspective changes there's not a single perspective that the director defines so we worked with the Pixar a bunch of former Pixar folks and an Academy award-winning director to build windy day but that's just a beginning and you can think of this as more of a platform imagine if imagine if artists and animators and eventually directors could could produce entertainment with the phone in mind and and there are going to be five billion smartphones out there so there's no doubt that the phone is going to be its own form of entertainment its own form of entertainment the medium is going to change so we think that's really cool and potentially really big and so we're going to continue to do things like windy day and eventually that could become a platform on its own that could be really really significant so that's a big challenge for the team yeah but one we're excited about nice so yeah I've heard a lot about people like just waking up there motox and finding windy day and just being blown away by it so people love that so that's really cool he has a little gift that we wanted to give ya ya know a lot of people I know someone who just recently got a moto X and couldn't stop telling me about it like playing with it like look at what I'm doing with this phone right now can you physically that's awesome um so I want to shift a little bit to a new form factor so project ara I don't know if it if I consider it a new form factor but it is a totally new technology but stuff like wearable tech like is definitely a new form factor and I get with uh you know RIT I play with galaxy gear so that's a sort of wearable on your wrist and Google glass which is I guess closer to home because you guys are with Google and that's that's sort of a more popular thing that people know about so what do what do you personally think of wearable tech and I guess what is more ROS philosophy towards wearable tech yeah so we're working on a lot of things let me put it that way the couple different areas there's there's clearly going to be something that changes on your wrist how it works and what exactly it is is something that our teams are working on hard but whatever it is it has to compete with what works now so watch is now and they can be very expensive and like jewelry or they can be very inexpensive even the inexpensive watches battery life is you know I never have to worry about changing the battery and my my Timex watch you don't really think about it there they tend to be indestructible so any any product that comes along that really wants to change that human behavior has to think about those basic problems and what you're competing against which is usually an inexpensive watch that works pretty well for the consumer so that's the challenge we've given the team we can't have something that's fragile you can't have something you have to charge every day you're gonna have to have some functionality that's just killer otherwise why you know why spend the money on on yet another product so that's that's when when you come to watches that's how we're thinking about I think there's other areas though that are interesting there's there's in general imaging in general is changing radically and how you take pictures and how you record and one of the killer apps for Google glasses is of course taking a picture and taking video right there's some things there that are exciting for us and then in ear technology is also pretty interesting and Motorola's been the leader in Bluetooth headsets for a while we can take that technology and shrink it down and you can start thinking about really cool things you can do both both related to your phone and commanding your phone or listening to information that might be supplied by your phone in a way that's much more subtle so we think there's some interesting things there as well yeah yeah I what you said about I guess just giving more functionality outside of or just giving us sort of a unique functionality when you talked about wristwatches that's like really important to a lot of people on a lot of watches so there's the pebble there's the the Sony SmartWatch those the the Galaxy gear the challenge is like giving you a reason to buy that exactly a reason what's the why is it going to be so awesome that you have to have that's the question yeah so that's that's a huge that's a huge challenge and I think the the second that someone finds like a really genuinely useful or unique way to to utilize a wearable tech and give you something extra some extra functionality or something that's going to be really important so good to hear you guys are working on that a new motor oil-- has done that before there was the Moto active it's more of a sports oriented watch so we have the tech we certainly have the skills to do some pretty interesting right okay um so to wrap up uh I think I've gone through all of my like general like most frequently asked questions and I wait can I ask one yeah got it okay what do you want in it let's play forward a year from now what are the things that you would like to see in any device that no one is thinking about today oh that no one is thinking about well I I'm right now I'm looking at like other things that everyone is thinking about like I want a better camera and like everybody phone I buy I want a beautiful screen um I think I made a little rent video earlier this year on battery technology mmm and how just the fact that it seems weird that that we if you go back maybe seven or eight years you didn't charge your phone every night you charged it maybe every three or four nights and they weren't smart phones and they weren't huge super powerful devices uh but the the amount of things your phone can do now has gone up so much and accordingly our battery life has not so you get a razor max yeah that's right relax right now today battery life is messing with a couple of phones that have like massive batteries RAZR MAXX is one of them and I love that it lasts two days easily on a charge so that's good um but I want to see more of that I want to see more people pushing the envelope in terms of how long a phone can last and just sort of no worries phone I guess is what I would want no worries you don't have to worry about taking a picture you just take it and you know it's going to be a good picture you don't worry about you know charging your phone everyday you just use it and whatever you know it's fine so that's that's I think what a lot of people look for in terms of functionality and that's personally what I am most pumped for is better than a tree life yeah and another thing is 4k which I don't even know if it makes any sense to have anything 4k related in a mobile device I have a 4k TV behind me um just a little burst of 4k products I've seen in the last like month is pretty impressive and I know if one phone that I've used that can shoot 4k video but anyone who watches my videos knows I'm I'm like a pixel junkie I love pixels lots and lots of pixels though I love the rage of Max's display I love 1080p displays and phones so just looking for a way to get more pixels seeing 4k everywhere is great but it might not have anything to do with phones yeah good okay cool yeah but uh so that's basically it for the questions if you have anything else to plug where people can follow I know you
