so we're halfway through 2017 on a streak I think we'll keep this going so of course I asked you guys on Twitter what you guys wanted to know from the past month and of the thousands of replies I can already say probably half of them were again about the 1 plus 5 now I did publish the full review so if anyone has any questions a lot of them that you were asking could be answered by watching the full review but there were some small updates so there were a few controversial things about the 1 plus 5 like camera performance old screen benchmark cheats etc what am i thougt so the camera performance in the screen those things were covered in the review but the benchmark sheets were something that I found out about after I published my review apparently one plus is still putting code in their OS that maxes out the CPU cores wanted to text that a benchmark app is running that is dumb that who shouldn't have done that I didn't use any benchmarks in my review but people who did kind of got hit for that my bottom line there is yeah it's dumb they shouldn't have done it and they should have stopped doing a long time ago but also it's 2017 why do people still care about benchmark if you're still basing your smartphone purchase decision off of how well a phone does on benchmarks then I guess this does have a big effect on you but I don't think we should be doing that anymore performance is a really pretty damn good off the board and you can take my comments about the fluidity of it and how well it actually works in real life over benchmark scores so I wouldn't put too much stock in that what are your thoughts on the iPhone 8 concepts vertical cameras and touch ID on the screen etc okay so the vertical cameras and all the renders we've seen pointing to that being the way the next iPhone camera looks looks a little bit weird in the renders but I've always said this phones always looks so much better in real life than they do in the renders the renders of some of the past couple of my favorite phones including this phone including a pixel and I think the past Nexus is they've all looked way worse and the renders and then the phone actually comes out and you hold the hardware in your hand and it's actually kind of nice so I'm not so worried about the cameras in the way they look on the phone what I actually am concerned about is the fingerprint reader location a lot of the rumors are pointing to this big full screen - iPhone with a fingerprint sensor under the display and I want that to be true so bad but I've also never seen that implemented anywhere in any product that means Apple can't do it I mean they've done revolutionary first-of-its-kind stuff in their products before but I've just never seen a display with a fingerprint reader underneath it under the glass ever so my fingers across that Apple can do this and do it well the first time around but I'm also not super optimistic and I wouldn't be surprised to see a fingerprint reader around the back or up at the front again of the next iPhone what do you think about the upcoming note Fe this is actually a really weird thing to me Samsung is going to be selling refurbished Galaxy Note sevens before the note 8 comes out as the note Fe why you would think with all the bad press about the note 7 and all the problems they had with it they would just completely abandon that project put it to rest r.i.p tombstone and everything just like let it go and we even have the note 8 like probably right around the corner and maybe two months we'll see that phone so a little bit confused about why they're coming out with note FD a refurbished note 7 doesn't sound like the best idea to me if you became a CEO of a tech company for a day which company do you pick and what would you do ok so hear me out I think this is actually kind of a clever idea I would be the CEO of Tesla for a day which number one would let me like go into the office and just look at all the plans for model 3 and model Y and the semi-truck and all the stuff to have plan for the future that would be cool but also that technically makes me the CEO of a rocket company also and also the tunnel-boring company I get to see cool stuff about like the Hyperloop and all the other stuff they're planning I feel like it would be kind of like a win win win win this is kind of a busy dude when is the USB type-c going to take over Apple definitely took the big major steps towards making USB type-c much more popular but I think once you see those accessories it being a no-brainer that they get USB type-c that's when you know it's taken over is Apple iPhone 8 or X going to live up to the hype no nothing nothing ever lives up to the height and that's not to say hype should die ok height is just marketing it happens a lot with a lot of different companies I'm just saying nothing ever actually lives up to that height I don't you do vlogs I'd love to watch mkbhd vlogs ok so the honest answer to that is I've actually thought about this question in the past and the answer is time so the thing about making vlogs in addition to all the stuff I already make is it means app so then have to edit all that stuff in addition to what I'm already editing which means it would take more time and vlog can be really cool I've seen some really great ones obviously but I think if I were to do blogs most of them would end up just being behind the scenes of the main videos that you guys watch so I think if you want to see that kind of stuff you should follow me on Twitter first of all but also snapchat and Instagram I think it's a definitely more time efficient way of sharing up subsidy guys trust me I've thought about vlogging it's just there's only 24 hours in a day you know next question is why were you in France with Casey night's debt oh speaking of lager so if you saw Casey's latest video the summer movie thing if you saw the end of it then of course you know it was shot entirely on Galaxy S apes that I can verify is true for there were lots of vlog shots and car shots and things you can imagine would be shot with a normal handheld phone but there's also plenty of drone shots and aerial shots and crazy angles but those are also shot on a smartphone as well it was with the help of a company called drone works and they were the ones that were responsible for putting galaxy s aids in these custom rigs with cine lenses and massive drones and getting these incredible shots from this technically a galaxy s 8 s camera casing and Samsung invited me along to check out the whole thing and I was super impressed with it obviously it takes the whole shot on a smartphone thing to the next level I'm open to like analyzing like really how far do these pros go like you sure you've seen those shot on iphone as that Apple makes how far do they really take those iPhones to be able to get those shots didn't be curious about that but anyway that's why I was in France would you believe your eyes if ten million fireflies box on vixy's beta one okay so I've talked a lot about Bixby in the past so naturally people were curious about if I was impressed with the Bixby voice update that's just coming out there's an early access program Bixby voice is finally becoming available to some of those people and you can download and install it and give it a shot and it's pretty bad I'm going to like the Verge's video below where they did some testing of it they asked some questions to be fair it does have some abilities that Siri and Google assistant and Cortana don't have meaning it can dig into an application and do commands from inside app but you can tell from the video it's super slow it doesn't get all the questions right it doesn't always understand you and also this was part of the video choose the president of the US hey when we've got not much wrong so I'm sorry sure Dixie has a long way to go surprise surprise good luck Samsung Tesla vs. Faraday future okay so anytime you compare a Tesla with anything else like Faraday future or lucid err or any of the companies that don't even really exist yet or are selling electric cars I've always said even if you make a car that's incredible every bit as good as the Tesla even better in every single way it's still not really gonna sell well because Tesla already has the mindshare and already has the sex appeal that these cars don't have yet just in the way people think about car brands and then they also have the infrastructure they already have the supercharging Network they make it really easy to drive electric cars long distances that those other companies don't have yet so it's funny to see an article labeling something as like a Tesla killer there is not going to be a Tesla killer for a very long time in the same way that there's not going to be a Ford killer because that's just part of the industry now and it's also definitely enough space for Tesla and other companies to exist in the electric car market there's no Tesla Killers yet demographically where do you have the largest following okay so once we got this question we actually looked into it a lot and there's some really interesting stats about the mkbhd channel viewership all of you guys so if I go into YouTube analytics I can check out which countries have the most people watching us a number one India number two United Kingdom number three Canada Australia Germany and on the list goes on but then we actually sorted by population size of that country at least on the first page to the Cattell who have the highest viewership per capita in a way so shout out to Singapore and Sweden for topping that list and then of course there's a male female demographic turns out we're at a study ninety-five percent male five percent female ladies and something I also have to sort just to find out if you look at all subscribers and unsubscribers from a channel in the lifetime of it the mkbhd Channel I'm almost proud of this in its lifetime has lost almost 1 million subscribers since its inception we should get a plaque for that that's that's kind of impressive 9 hundred thousand plus people have decided yet that that's enough I don't want to say anymore but also that means that the four point seven million subscribers the channel has now is just the people who have stuck around there's also a couple of hundred thousand more who subscribed and unsubscribed it's weird I've been curious if that's a common ratio or number for youtubers in tech or even in other genres or if that's even weird to talk about that I don't know either way I'm going to end it there thanks for all your questions I hope this is a fun Q&A and hopefully you enjoyed seeing a little bit of a different part of the studio Studio B we're going to be right back on it with tech videos very shortly because there's a lot of stuff coming out a lot of stuff you guys have to see thank you for watching now it's off to get the next one peace
