what's up guys david here from film buff and i'm excited to finally be doing one of these Q&A videos again it's been a while maybe a little bit too long since I've done one and there have been a lot of good questions that have been getting lately but before we get to answering any of them I want to give a big shout out to the sponsor for today's episode and boost mobile so right now boost mobile has some seriously good deals going on where if you switch to boost by the end of the month you get fifty dollars off of a new smartphone and on top of that you get the option for unlimited talk text and data all without having to sign a contract so definitely check out that first link down in the description check out the deals that boost mobile has to offer and help support the channel in the process all right let's get to answering some questions do you think that in the next five years there will be another OS that can compete with Android and iOS with the same level of success so back when Windows Phone was first announced in 2010 I thought that maybe what the company as big as Microsoft back in it that Windows Phone would have a good chance of becoming that a West that competes closely with Android and iOS but obviously four years later windows phone is still growing and still improving it's not growing at a fast enough rate to catch up to Android and iOS so to answer your question no I don't think it'll be another OS that will come close to competing with your big too and this when it comes to market share if a company as big as Microsoft with its huge presence and probably even bigger marketing budget can't do it then it's a tough sell for small companies like blackberry to be able to do so so as of right now the battle for any of the newer os's is for third place behind Android and iOS but still hit far ways away from the number two spot how old are you at the time of recording this video I am 24 years old but I'll be turning 25 at the end of April which is it as exciting as turning 18 or 21 but I do have to say that I'm looking forward to seeing my car insurance rates go down what are your thoughts on wearable technology like smartwatches or Google+ you know when I got this question a few days back entirely different answer in mind but today google just announced that android will be officially extending into wearables and what they're calling android wear which from the looks of it is going to be an optimized version of google now right on your watch now in my video on the Galaxy gear a few months back I said that if a SmartWatch company could get a voice assistant like Siri or Google now onto a SmartWatch then the value proposition of the SmartWatch in general would be much much greater than it is today and with the announcement of Android wear Google may be the first company to bring this value to market now I've had the opportunity to use google glass and a variety of smartwatches like galaxy gear and while have preferred the functionality of google glass with basically google now pat on your face I've always felt more comfortable and less awkward with a SmartWatch since it's something that I'm already used to wearing and watch is also something that everybody else is already used to seeing I think by bringing Android and Google now to the SmartWatch and working with manufacturers chip makers and fashion companies to actually make these smartwatches look like normal watches Android wear will be seriously successful and it might just be the thing that starts the wearable revolution but of course it is a little bit too early to saying it will be a few months before Android wear it comes to market but from what google is showing off and what the manufacturers Google is working with is showing off it looks really really promising and I have to say that this is the most excited I've been about where we'll text since well basically ever what is your take on the galaxy s5 so on the day that the galaxy s5 was personal I went to Twitter and said that I thought it was an evolutionary update over the galaxy s4 and I still feel the same way today I don't see anything that is particularly revolutionary about the galaxy s5 and honestly I think that might be a good thing because instead of trying to make the phone seem revolutionary like Samsung did with all those gimmicky Arab gestures on the s4 samsung instead focused mostly on the things that actually matter the new 16 megapixel camera looks like it'll be a solid improvement over the camera on the galaxy s4 which was already good to begin with the fingerprint reader should make the process of unlocking and securing your phone much more convenient the ip67 water and dust resistance will probably end up saving thousands upon thousands of galaxy phones out there and the new ultra power saving mode should help significantly improve battery life so while is an evolutionary update it looks to be an overall solid update and honestly at this stage in the smartphone game that's all you could really ask for since there are only so many things you can change to make the phone bill revolutionary before some of those changes end up taking away from the experience instead of adding to it so I think Samsung get a overall pretty good job if you had to choose one phone to use for the rest of your life which phone would it be okay so that that's an interesting question by to choose just one phone to use for the rest of my life I probably ought to go with the Galaxy Note 3 I mean it's the phone that I use right now is my daily driver and I'm actually pretty happy with it but more importantly it's also probably the most future-proof phone out there with 4k video recording USB 3.0 a boatload of RAM and expandable storage in addition to all the other high-end specs that you'd expect from a smartphone in 2014 alright if you guys have any questions for me that you like to see answered in a future episode ask them down in the comments below
