pocketnow live we're talking about the LG g2 LG really really really wants to be a major player with Samsung and HTC and I guess Motorola and Sony elevator not as high up as I HTC and Samsung but they really haven't been able to do it and last year was the first time that we actually saw something really noteworthy from from LG which was the optimus G which of course went on to be the nexus 4 and a year has gone by and it's time for LG to do it again and hopefully up the ante because the oxy s4 is out HTC one is out and LG needs to answer them and they've got the advantage of time on their side so the LG g2 is about to be announced it's going to be we already know a device with a Snapdragon 800 CPU which is an awesome amazingly fast cpu we're gonna get a 1080p screen and LG keeps touting this idea of the phone learning from you so I think they're going to pull a samsung and have a host of added on software to Android the tries to innovate a little bit with me I've got Taylor and Jaime and some first impressions guys in alphabetical order we'll start with hi May what do you think we're gonna see today oh I think we're gonna see the feature Nexus 5 you think it's gonna be the future Nexus 5 no no meaning uh we're gonna we're going to see everything that we want to know about the feature Nexus smartphone that's pretty much it I have a lot of respect for LG for trying I have just never been overwhelmed or or wowed by anything they've done now the odd the Optimus G was a phone that I really did want and still you know it was good it just wasn't as great as I wanted it to so uh let's just say that I my expectations are level they're not hot they're not cold let's see what we get did you did you ever get a chance to play with the g2 I mean I g to an optimal what the optimus G yeah yeah yeah I think it was a well done phone I just hated the fact that I fell off the table all the time uh yeah that's still pretty back yeah but what I'm a said might not be too off base at least in terms of future Nexus if if LG is making the next Nexus which I guess that seems kind like a pattern because Samsung made two with the exception of HTC Samsung made two handsets and a sous is now made two 7-inch tablets and apparently samsung is making the second Nexus 10 so LG could be making the next Nexus handset which was basically the Optimus G so maybe maybe we're only a few months out so what do you guys think about this volume button on the back which is really the first time we've ever seen that um it's not actually hate to contradict you but uh I said that in an editorial and somebody was quick to call me out that it's happened several times and I can't remember which phones it was on but it was uh said we've been done before and to me it seems like a decent idea because if you get your phone to you here which is part of the time when i'm going to use the volume records right there where your index finger is its then I think it's the next gimmick to reach smartphone land it's it doesn't it doesn't make sense unless you're in a call right so if you're looking at it if you're looking at a video and you want to turn up the volume it's kind of awkward to like go behind and if the speakers are in the way you're going to block the speakers when it's on the side it just you know you can just tap it you know exactly where it is so yeah I think it's if different just for the sake of different which is not not only that but whenever you lay the phone on the table it's got this hump that'll probably not allow for you to press any of the buttons but still I usually don't lay my phone's flat on the table I look for a case or I look for for any area that will not scratch the back uh so most likely it'll you know raise your volume or I don't know I think it'll be awkward like whenever you're honest whenever you're on speakerphone for whatever reason and it's on your lap or something I think it's just gonna be uncomfortable but you know it's a high praise a LG for trying let's see what they bring to the table against we're getting a countdown 3 2 1 1 and the event has begun and guys we should also mention that Michael Fisher is in New York City right now he's gonna have hands-on video with the optimist I keep saying optimist it's the g2 no optimum CEO but listen why did they ditched that named what did they ditch the optimist is from transformers right yeah I had speculated that it might have been through a lawsuit or maybe some kind of court settlement or something because a sous get sued for using transformer prime and Optimus is also a transformer term so I don't know so let's dissect a little bit of these messages on the screen they're talking about that there it sits these sentences in the first person I need a phone that lasts all day I need a phone that's faster than anything else out there I mean that allows me to leave my camera at home that allows me my camera at home so far this pretty obvious stuff it's got to have good battery life it's gotta have a good camera um many lips bones says they're gonna do that and every phone says gonna do that i really wonder how the phone is going to learn from you and they keep having this this slogan which is to me you are perfect it reminds me of the HTC you campaign you remember that mmm a little bit a little bit it's it's a little bit more like a i twist i think on that yeah yeah phone personalization wasn't one of LG's a little I guess slogans for this teaser wasn't it like machines are better than humans or something it's really weird it's just really weird that the machines machines are better than human no yeah that's it was like technology is better than humans or machines are better than humans I can't remember what it was but I saw it tweeted somewhere um also you need a phone that doubles as a platter like a tray for your drink and I can put a sandwich on this side you see easily the ultra as a lunch tray uh tailoring we leased up geez don't don't show i agree that he'll be a lemon wait wait all right so we're my own bills either right now oh man drinking my oatmeal all right Alan let's focus on the other so you're telling me that everything fits on that phone oh my god here use this cup of coffee try this out and try this bottle of water while you added come on Ryan's gonna kill me we've got a really touchy feely video that talks about your desires and life surprises and the video is frozen yep there goes and it's just like these pretty young people you know doing things a man with a jackhammer he's getting Miriam er this is about living life things you love there's there some older people you know oh there's someone pregnant yeah loading 25% ahead that's funny yeah that was cool this is cool god this is just because there's no technology more perfect than you this is getting very learning from you this is getting very strange and I really hope that this phone can actually um how can the phone learn from you what does that even mean like context-aware at least I hope so I don't think I don't think that's really ever happened I mean Syria was opposed to learn from you and it never did Siri is dumb she is not it is he's not good Google now kill Siri and end it and the fact that the voice recognition is not real time on the iphone it's just so annoying yeah we're at president the president CEO of LG is now on stage uh let's see what we get yes thank you for joining us yes yes Michael Fisher you're lucky you get the free drinks and everything so did anyone get a glimpse of Michael on the on the when they were showing the audience or no but I saw someone trying to rip my style somebody had won our hats on away so you did not see iron man on stage man that's too bad Oh iron man now tell me something Brandon you didn't give us your impressions of what you're expecting for this phone I mean you had a Jew had an optimistic the problem with the optimus G was the same thing that was wrong with the nexus 4 which was touch responsiveness they used in cell like the iphone 5 in the ipad mini and it's just not as good as the last best generation technology um I I I bought an optimist g and used it for daily driver for like three weeks and there were just some problems with it first of all oh my the it was running Android 4.2 went into there was a there was a 4 there's a jelly bean update and if you went into the software I hit up it would say server error and then you try to do it again and it would say you can't check for a software update until 23 hours and 59 minutes so I could never get the jelly bean update um yeah LG I don't know LG I think they pushed the bar really good when it came to hardware with that phone but their software is never up to speed you know we might go ahead agree i think the last generation they actually did something cool with their software well I did I reviewed the optimus g pro and it was basically a galaxy s4 next note to mimic I mean everything from their voice recognition software to the widgets everything looked like TouchWiz and it didn't pour for it didn't perform as well even remotely so I don't know I don't know LG is just the I commend them for trying for me there optimus g was a big leap in comparison to anything we had seen before I mean I remember we were in Barcelona with Tony no phones crashed as much as these LG phones on display hey it was just terrible is it is it me or has this term innovation become cliche it has been hearing through innovation in mobile now at least not i will say that motorola has come the closest with having their custom processor architecture with always on listening but that's not even true just innovation that's that's building on a small build on something that already existed but that is that is really innovative because like if you fast-forward the software in five years when this when you can do everything with voice and the fact that it's always paying attention to you it's like a it's like a dream feature right yeah and no I totally agree with you but but no everyone over uses that that word now innovative innovative you're not innovative if you're copying features that every other company is already done you know what you know what is so lame and this happens at every phone launch they over use pictures of people doing great stuff people get married babies are on the screen there's someone surfing because they rated istockphoto yeah yeah yeah yeah but trust me anything is better than seeing dancers on stage oh now with the gaseous form of it Tommy the tap dancer yeah they've got people of all ages people of all races and ethnicities and there Nell someone's playing a violin and someone's playing a timpani and then it's just not know funny how phone launches have become like these um de smelly ism now let me tell you something I I did not see the galaxy s3 with such a quick adoption as I've seen the galaxy s4 on the street everybody man everybody here has a GS for everybody it's like wow I mean everybody has a gs4 right here everyone still has a galaxy s3 and they're all pissed because the four came out right after they bought it I saw an HTC one in person the other day on the street oh that's a first you don't see a lot of that around here because a lot of people still have blackberries and stuff no man people don't sell the HTC One here yet can you believe that that's how good HTC is sorry sorry for the burn so there are more features they have yet to show the phone they learned from you or see you in design yeah oh my gosh finally show it Oh show me the phone that the whole world has already seen please yeah show it to me now oh my gosh it's just a wireframe there's no need for this there's no answer this we all we all read even know what it a lot of them were probably even like scheduled wait a second rumors that a gigantic phone on hangers what's that look at that look at that there are two wires holding that gigantic thing on the floor he just knocked on the screen in it turned on those bezels are ultra mega thin holy moly it reminds me of a moto x just a little over ultra mega thin isn't it the other way around I hate the name I really really honestly truly hate the name LG g2 it so there was the food really nice LG whispah there was this company that would sell toys when I was when I was a kid and it was called GG so it just reminds me of that well maybe a maybe this will be like a toy seriously GG toys all right so we were it's it's exactly what we've seen it's it's really nice looking i mean it is yeah front is beautiful I but but I I just got to know what this learning from you means at and I've got my audio off are you guys hearing anything about learning from you David no he's talking about the volume rocker Oh start with the volume rocker he's talking about rumors actually right now he said this is the feature everyone's been talking about something different it's just the sake of being different what is the book the center of the volume rocker dude is that like a mute might be us like standby button people thought it was the fingerprint scanner and then apparently they pulled back in the last couple of days I wonder if that's the power button oh I hope it's not that phone is gonna be turning on all the time when it does a table but even even he even the CEO saying LG g2 yeah so it sounds terrible LG g2 it does sound real just g2 is fine by LG g2 they should have changed the letter G to something that isn't G yeah lgf to s2 are too cute dicks to know stop with the use of X everything's x come on so it's got so the back is is black and shiny or white and shiny it's not soft touch it's a piper kameez ish right yeah why it looks good impress renders but not after you've used it for five minutes and you're as greasy as us three cows yes seriously I don't know man come on could you please stop talking about the buttons all right oh it's got air flow on the bottom I'm just kidding so so so the top of the ergonomic design like a lot of phones these days it's very interesting the HTC One the Moto X they're having this nice shape because it's kind of unnatural to be honest like the iPhone really rough edges very very hard edges it just doesn't feel right oh my gosh the z ultra's the war ergonomic phone in the world but it's got some other cool stuff why are you complaining so much about that phone Taylor come on this is a nexus 7 and this is the Z ultra oh my lord you were oh god why why even get that show that again show that again oh my you know I can't even tell the difference I don't even know which ones which that's why let's get that's one let's get back to the G to you guys notice something very interesting look how many live people are watching the LG of it not the pile by the LG event um I can't see how many 17,000 people are watching this that's nothing that's nothing compared to google which had like like 900,000 yeah we have a hundred and eighty-nine views so thank you for tuning in and watching us blab about this phone that we've heard about a million times yes thank you everybody or for tuning in Taylor anything about what this phone does to learn from you yet nothing yeah seriously this is just I can't really understand him you can't understand him right because he's an accent well part accent part because my volume is low because I still want to hear you guys and two because I'm I see Miriam from engadget but uh no I don't I can't hear so the comp is confirmed 5.2 inch screen 1080p display Snapdragon 800 coming to t-mobile which is a little bit of a not a win because t-mobile is the smallest US carrier the cpu is 2.26 gigahertz it's gonna be a fast fast phone no doubt all right somebody saying in our comments on YouTube that it looked like r2d2 as funny the back looks like r2d2 let's see if there is um trying to figure out what this step button is on the back so that's really a same here not yet not yet no press release him um so apparently it's designed for one-handed operation two gigs of ram 3,000 pound that is great um but it depends on how well the software software is optimized I mean the Snapdragon 800 I wonder how will I know that it's gonna be great I just depends on the software always it does depend on the software always and I I'm really curious if they're gonna they're probably have android 4.2 point2 it's just too early for 4.3 but Thor e3's got that trim support which I apparently will reduce the chances of your phone slowing down over time but see that stone but see that's a paddlin Brandon last year the optimus G was launched after jellybean was launched like two months after jellybean was launched with the Nexus 7 and who you know you got ice cream sandwich that's why that's really my prom with LG I'm actually surprised that Sony for example has already pushed for point-to-point to to their phones and HTC hasn't done it Samsung hasn't done it to their current generation you know to their older generation phones so I'll see you not gonna believe this well I made that is a power button on the back that's what I've thought that's what I said a purpose of standby yeah there are no buttons on the sides oh my god their reasoning is because the phones larger has better one-handed usability if you don't have to like reach to the top of the phone or like to the side and I kind of agree with that but you look what Samsung's doing they're bringing the power button down along the side well yeah but just think about it how big is this canvas how how easy is it for you to find that button I mean it's so much easier to find the button here on the edge than it is do you know to carry a gigantor phone and look for the button somewhere around there especially you Taylor it's Lily meeting this might be the the g2 supports LTE Advanced which is what is making it I think the second phone in the world besides a galaxy s4 the newer version galaxy s4 them and of course lte-advanced is like LTE but much faster no network in the US has it yet there's a I think one of well yeah there's going to be a bit there but there's going to be rushes number one at the United States we will start deploying by the end of this year i believe yeah i think i think verizon's going to be the first duality advances they were the first with LTE yeah just just just think about how big the the note 2 is trying to look for that power button is going to be annoying i'm going to look at looking at the back and then just pressing it go ahead yeah not even just that if you're holding the phone in your power buttons here if you're holding it to where your fingers near or around the power button it's not one-handed use because you're still going to have to use your other hand if you're having the phone like this you can still reach the side buttons with your thumb and your middle or index finger you have a solid point there my friend so one-handed uses and there so there's pretty much nothing on the sides there's no camera but nothing which is you know the usual for Android late so I've got some got some more updates it's got an IR blaster and it's got some features like a galaxy s4 has where if you're raising your phone to your ear it automatically answers an incoming call there's a feature which guess is what you might want to do when you plug in your headphones I mean this is very basic stuff there's a guest's mode feature um so the Qualcomm CEO just still left the stage and the stream is what do you wonder okay so we're getting a video now and it's asking we wonder what's true about other what I don't know where we're in space now so I don't know it was chopped up we're in space right now exactly this is such a weird so many videos and like wait I still don't know why it learns you I don't know why it won't you this seems I like this car yeah I like what they're now we are eight sorry no rose the other day okay so control the volume of what you're listening to because you have those really accessible buttons right capture the scenery of what you want to hold a perfect fit for one hand right but then you're not going to be able to reach those buttons easy for self portrait because you're going to take the photo with the volume buttons you're gonna miss make for the power but yeah if you use a hardware shutter key as like the volume rocker on the back and you're trying to take a picture in landscape which you should do anyway you're going to be covering up the camera sensor yeah I want to see I want to see a one of these promotional videos with really ugly people in a very crime-ridden terrible neighborhood you wanna see these people is just extra la can we shoot their next commercial in Detroit I just gonna say it's doing Detroit what's wrong with Detroit I've never been there long yeah like Crimea is like four or five times the national average all right these are the Mesa people stop complaining let's film that in helotes then let's bring them over here we'll just say we're not going five you are look places where we get to where I could take them where I'm not sure if they're gonna be able to get out of there but they could film whatever they want um by the way guys I have to leave shortly I wasn't supposed to be here but someone convinced me so I've got to leave in a few minutes yeah and then I'll leave you two guys to gossip about the cheek to and whether you want to own one no I can already tell you that no come on just work you gotta wait you gotta hear about all the futures right oh man oh man ok so the James fischler senior vice president of LG electronics and USA is talking now most likely they're going to talk about partnerships partnerships ok so this by the way listeners is another smartphone we still don't understand what it does to learn what you do um it definitely doesn't understand how you hold the phone um there's a comment on the stream like on the YouTube stream somebody commented wait it's basically been designed to take selfies that's really a selling point I take a lot of okay so apparently the key features here design display camera sounds and the un's a user experience yeah user experience been there done that I see that is see that's that's I don't know last time I don't know who wrote this editorial but I'm just I'm just trying to figure out what is different about this film what is the selling point what is gonna make it excel in comparison to anything else it's already in the market what else that is guy talk he's talking about the width of a phone how much the width of a phone has changed yeah change from 2.4 22 points seven inches uh I'd like to know what this one is four feet I don't think you've got a ruler that big it's basically my desktop I just took my desk and turned it into a phone okay I got it I got a jump off now it's been real and curious to see what else they've got to talk about with this G too nice a someone is using chromecast to watch the stream on their television us watch us on their television I can't believe they want to see our access to that thing it must be a hard cuz appreciate all right well I'm gonna jump off see you guys David see you later for joining us bro take care he's my boy okay so listen I'm looking into the comments that we have on YouTube I am trying to we're trying to figure out I mean a lot of the comments are like LG is trying to be it innovatively wrong let me see heavy legacy 001 Assange LG is trying to innovate in a wrong way and it's true i mean what is it a bit of about buttons I mean Taylor I don't um I'm sorry am I just too disappointed right now he's talking about it right now uh-huh what's he saying he's saying that the battery is he saying that having a button on the back of the phone reduces the size of battery and requires the chassis to be smaller which okay but it's I but is it sick is it thinner than an iphone I mean is it that in the gs4 I don't think so I don't think so hold on I've got the I have the dimensions right here okay so this phone is not a thinner than the gs1 see this is this is what happens when you get a manufacturer like Sam saying i'm sorry i'm not a samsung fanboy guys but seriously Samson puts everybody to shame you know they're like to know we have inner than the HTC One but thick a millimeter thicker than the s4 okay so Samson was able to figure out how to put all the buttons on the side and give us a replaceable battery and give us expandable stores you just threw out everything and you know that's the justification for these people to add these buttons to the back you know I guess I like you said one-handed usability is pretty much lost here yeah and he's saying that it's it's ambidextrous so you can use it left or right handed the same exact way which that's a good point but i don't really unless handed and that doesn't affect me it doesn't affect how i use a phone because a phone i'm not doing a whole lot with my left or right hand it's not like writing or eating or throwing a baseball right right right and they're still using this learning from you moniker I mean what's the whole point of this learning from you an anti fingerprint sapphire crystal glass on the lens which okay it's still gonna have to be wiped off you know all the oleophobic coverings and yeah okay so here is a sapphire crystal lens and let me touch it right now and oh a fingerprint there yes oleophobic materials are not really that great at what they do okay so I'll tell you this much for example the Xperia ZL does not have folio phobic coating and it is terrible it is you know it's what helps but it doesn't necessarily fix everything it's just it makes it a little bit less worse I don't say better less worse i guess the smudges just don't really stick to the display it's easier to clean but it doesn't necessarily mean that it gets you know that it that's that it remains clean that's I guess that's what I'm trying to okay so what is the largest possible screen you get on the phone Taylor if you please tell them which is the largest possible well don't go for point there being six point four inches hey what's the width of that phone by the way cuz it looked really thin on video I'm gonna have to look it up yes tomorrow I don't know I I'm will soon yeah is 92.2 millimeters which is 3.6 three inches whatever anyways listen listeners we are still the LG event is still happening I'm looking at a lot of tired faces on the audience right now and I'm sure that you guys are getting the same feeling we are getting the same feeling right now we are getting another smartphone um I'm happy that the nexus 5 because it'll most probably be called the nexus 5 but it's gonna be based on this phone will have monster Snapdragon 800 X lte-advanced hopefully it'll have three gigs of ram and just about everything but the LG g2 is not better than anything that you can already buy on the market i guess is what I'm trying to say these buttons are not a selling point unless you tell me otherwise tail ya know I think it's safe to say that the the nexus 5 will probably not have buttons on the back Google would probably backhand LG and say no this is not happening because the last three Nexus devices looked similar so I don't think they'll do anything drastic anyway now now this display does keep a sort of a nexus light design am i right what the one on the g2 the one of the g2 the borders and everything it looked sort of round I guess it looks sort of round I guess all right dual routing yeah oh well oh well so I guess Taylor excited not excited not excited and I've owned three LG devices and reviewed a few and that's all i've got to say that's all i gotta say what did you keep any of them no no did not you know I'm really sorry that Tony's not hear Tony's currently on vacation by the way um but tony is a strong advocate for LG he loves LG I still haven't figured out why but he loves LG um I I have never owned an LG phone actually I you know I guess I've had such bad experiences on trade shows like my first experience with an LG smartphone was with the spectrum back at CES 2012 and it was so you know it had the 720p display just about everything you wanted but the you I was just so bad and so clunky that I was like oh man let's hope we never get to review this problem because it's gonna be a very bad review and I'm sad for LG because the phone looks pretty and all but design is and everything the phone isn't isn't going to perform that it's just not it's pointless to have the optimus g pro which was the last LG phone ahead ok I take that back the only LG phone that I've kept is the nexus 4 ok so I bought that and I've kept it since i bought it but the optimus g pro felt like an hat like a happy meal toy I get it not yeah like you press the button and you can feel the vibration like you can feel the vibrate motor spin around when you press the home button I mean it's just like Hollow so I'll cheap it felt himself Jeezy it felt more cheap than the s4 no way which is a feat that's a feat now tell me something what are you know judging by your impressions I mean you do use a nexus for every now and then mmm not eat not even after your experiences with the nexus 4 you know you're still not excited over this phone I guess nope because it doesn't bring anything you I'm more excited over the Moto X than this ok that's a big statement at it's a truth it's the truth because I'm I'm all about you know voice activation and stuff if I can ask my phone a question without touching it that's awesome but this doesn't do anything it's nothing truly new oh look at that it brings optical image civilization in the camera that's not interesting that's nice that's a nice inclusion okay listeners the gs4 does not have optical image stabilization only the HTC One the Lumia 920 of the Lumia 1020 uh the 925 the 928 obviously these are pretty much the only four or five phones that have this feature included still how are you how are the photos of of the g pro i haven't taken any no no what would you throw um they were ok ok so apparently one of the another selling point for this g2 will be the fact that you will be able to take you know night shots and probably get do probably do a better job now I have a problem with what he said what he said was that on most optical image stabilization was only available on 4 megapixel and 8 megapixel cameras which would be the HTC One and Lumia 920 living around but he said this is the first time it's available on a 13 megapixel camera but you're not getting a whole lot extra whole lot of extra data out of 13 verses 8 megapixels because you're probably using the same sensor size which means that you're basically mixels yeah you're shrinking the size of your pixels which is yeah the pixels are smaller I've you know for for me you know 13 megapixels has still not been able to amaze me on any phone yet I know you you I've never used that I have a gs4 here but I haven't really taken photos as much with it so I current take a panoramic photo and tell me that's not amazing with that phone you can take the best panoramic shots other than that I didn't find the camera impressive yeah well i don't know i don't know let's see can you believe you try to get this thing out of the box alright so we're getting a demo and what are these other two phones Taylor um one looks like a covered up iphone but it actually looks kind of fake and the other one looks like an s3 but I don't know also those hand the wooden hands are really awkward I kind of freaking me out Wow all right there taking the video of how good a picture looked on a phone you can't show how good it looks on a video all right let's go through some YouTube comments here the Moto X does bring a lot of good innovation to the table and wood for the backing is a pretty cool feat Taylor you agree I don't like the wood um wood on the back of the Moto X yeah oh yeah I'd carry a wooden phone but not me you can't impress me with anything you say about a smartphone camera after nokia announced this yeah like you you can't now so don't try to impress me with your camera okay so today David Connelly what are the megapixels we've got 13 megapixels uh let's see yeah yeah char I'll Shalom if you don't like LG then why are you covering it well it's a press event we cover all presidents sorry I mean we're this is our hangout we're giving you our first impressions on everything that's happening on the show floor and sadly you know I'd hate to break it to you but we you know we've already got communication with Michael Fisher and everybody's born there sadly yeah so now I want to say that I don't hate LG I don't dislike LG I don't favor their products I try to be unbiased but they've never really truly done anything to blow me away and for the past two or three years they've basically been a shadow of Samsung they do exactly what Samsung does okay the butter configuration here is a total different direction and it's not necessarily a good direction so yeah I you know just watch some of the official promo videos of LG UK UK I'm curious about the camera stabilization feature yes we are to this would be the fourth phone or fifth phone in the market that's capable of doing optical images Shin um and so far there haven't really been you know all these phones do a good job you know even the HTC one would just form it ultrapixels does a good job not the best job but it does a good job it does a decent job uh let me see not really excited either I'm not crazy about um I'm not a crazy instagram user no need for selfies right right buns on the back man not really a good selling point agreed see that's the problem I mean if the only selling point here is going to be those buttons at the back they're lost they're completely lost they're using it by the way listeners and viewers they're using it as an excuse to make the phone thinner according to them and this phone is one millimeter thicker than the galaxy s be the fourth breakthrough with this phone I don't I didn't catch the other three but the fourth breakthrough is high fidelity audio I'd like to see how it compares to boom sound yeah well say and beats audio oh oh yes this is the creepy part ringtones of the vienna's about a Vienna Boys Choir I don't want a ring tone of a boy's choir on my phone I'm sorry maybe that's a geological like a geographic thing but ok the Jack of Clubs where is the speaker hole that's a good question i didn't see where the speaker hole is yeah 23 bit audio oh oh yeah wait a second there at the bottom I noticed that there at the bottom of the diagram but they're not front-facing now you have to cover them up to push your power button 23 bit audio a sauna for Billups 24-bit audio it's actually the the right thing um let's see you know on paper there's a saying in spanish paper paper test stands with anything you know let me just test it first and obviously by the way Michael Fisher is on the show floor he will be able to have all the hands-on times that we need and will most likely see a couple of videos go live in the next couple of hours so Mike will definitely answer all our questions about this phone very soon um I thought LG was some kind of had some kind of better screen technology you know LG does ok so IPS technology is LG technology you see it on every I phone and every iPad in the market ever since their inception so yes they do have a million good creating technology oh yeah screen video time again so yeah LG does have good good screen technology and by the way for those people to think that we're LG haters I have a for LG TVs in my house actually the two biggest ones and most expensive our LG and I am extremely satisfied with my TV's I have nothing against LG it's just that they have not been able to provide a really compelling smartphone right yet yeah they make great products and other markets but cell phone industry they're not doing quite as well as samsung or HTC they're not up to that standard yet I guess they seemed to be kind of I mean okay I take that back they've done several breakthroughs they were the first with a dual core smartphone I think first one else no not LTE because HTC was the first for the LTE but they were first with a dual core smartphone they were first with 1080p if i'm not mistaken yeah it were the first in several different categories if you ever they were they were referring to ed you remember the 3d display they reversed with 3d they've done so many different things they're quick to jump on new things but they're really not that great at refining things yeah they're graded just bursting through the doors with a new technology and not really getting behind it you know it seems like if the hardware department doesn't get along with the softcore the department um because you know for some reason I do love LG design they design really cool phones but the problem is that their software implementation is nothing as cool that's what the phone looks like I mean I the optimus G was a cool phone it looked physically cool it look really nice yeah take the negative or for example hardware great software great guess who didn't touch the software LG LG yeah seriously let me see other comments here your uh let me see iphone for the win now honestly yeah yeah I'm sorry I'm sorry uh listeners reader is the only reason why I'm using this phone right now is because my lumia 1020 hasn't arrived yet uh and no yeah this was the Windows Phone hater that you knew um sadly my excuses for not using Windows Phone pretty much ended how has your experience been with it with a 1020 so far on a cyclic and I'm still trying to find alternatives for all the apps I use I still have to use an android phone alongside because I need google plus I need hangouts and there are some alternatives for old google talk clients but it's not really hang out so i mean i'm having to deal with alternatives which are not ever really quite as great as the original other than that i love it speeds are great battery life is not bad i just ordered the camera grip the display is fine the camera is phenomenal so I've enjoyed it yeah from LG only the nexus 4 was worth it watching you from Brazil Gustavo us thank you Gustavo for watching from Brazil uh I really cannot pronounce your name I'm really sorry but the Nexus 5 is going to be cool that's though yeah you're right it will does this have a nano-sim yeah it has an an ocean okay you're going to the sodas iced tea yeah cording to a leak user manual it will have a nano-sim so uh why why why you prob the thing is we're phone swampers so for me I guess my prom with the nano-sim is that you know on devices like HTC I can't like cut the the nano SIM and then use the old portion of the sin as an adapter because it'll get stuck within the scent ray what I don't know if you can see that yeah yeah so I have to use an adapter almost every single day yeah same here well the thing is I think it's not in several samsung phones that's my problem that's my problem so what I do is that I keep the nano-sim in the iphone and what I did is I got a another phone line and that's the second phone that i use and then I keep as a micro-sim and that's the one that I swap around every day so yeah I'm usually I do keep an iphone around and handy because so far this is sadly still the best camera that I have still waiting for the 1020 I was uh I was gonna sell my iphone 5 I told Brandon the other day I said I'm selling my iphone 5 he said you can't I will not allow you to sell your iphone 5 why not because I I think he wants me to review the the new iphone yeah we'll see i think i think Fisher wanted the new iphone 4 review we'll see oh he wouldn't let me sell mine so yeah well see Wow ok guys motors cool but it's not a first it's not a Hearst um now me you I or my UI or however you want to pronounce it has guest mode its head guest mode for years probably two and a half three years yeah for whoever hates my t-shirt sorry you know i'm sorry i'm not gonna dig it off in the comments uh how's the camera of the Lumia 1020 we already heard that um Daniel Seifert from the verge on Twitter said LG has gone off the deep end someone called the psych ward oh sorry oh look at that so there's a special gesture for the guest mode was that the implemented as well on the other one I don't know I didn't see it what was the gesture so you know you can re-edit it with more fingers well apparently you can define two different gestures to unlock your phone one for your normal mode and another for guest mode that's cool well the guest mode on me you i erm I you I was in the notification shade you just pull it down and hit fence and it was basically just lets you control what other people could see or use okay so but which which found that used with guest mode oh it was it was a custom rom oh okay yeah becca and and android has multiple user support built-in so yeah the new uh multiple user support is actually quite awesome with restricted profiles yeah can control individually what apps people use yeah i'm actually using it on the on the you know i still have the old generation Nexus 7 I haven't been able to get the new one and it's it's good it's good it's good okay what 11 what I love about this phone is that there's literally no bezel um where is it oh yeah knock to turn on and turn off your phone nock on the string nock on the screen oh wow oh um there were like four people that clamped yeah I think they're what okay so no bezel here is the Xperia ZL you want to know bezel experience this is your ha you need a volume rocker on the back of that phone I'm a oh yeah you're right you're right I'm sorry I'm sorry alright so let's go through some more comments of Vienna's Boys Choir being a boy's choir singing a summer of the ringtone i had never heard that before um you can hear them right now if you listen to the audio oh god somebody's gonna sing Oh up there doing the performance this is the Vienna Boys Choir listen why this LG do everything that Samsung does I don't know if Samsung didn't do anything this creepy these people the Vienna Boys Choir have made the ringtones for the g2 all rights this is what you would hear if somebody calls you this song is playing right now is what you would hear somebody calls you ok so true travel ization is asking I still don't understand what is the learning from your point I am sorry none of us can uh because as the buttons at the back are not learning from me particularly I don't look I don't know I don't look for my buns at the back no bezel your palm I touch the screen by accident yeah well I don't really have enough column with the Xperia ZL well mark Flores tweeted huge LG g2 just gave birth to a singing boy that makes my abs hurt oh so these asking so I guess we go for it a boot to edge right Hyneman Taylor uh I don't know uh I'd love to see that oh boo to edge get released first I would be lying if I said I knew really anything about that phone I've been so crazy busy over the last two weeks I don't know because i've been playing video games on the Nvidia shield and dealing with this thing how is that thing by the way uh I'll some with not a lot of games so wait a second you have to use the Tegra though the TegraZone on that thing yeah basically use the shield store you can play other games but not all of them actually very important if they don't have yeah so then you're playing really weird like a combination of on-screen and using a controller is it like it's really good for racing because you can turn the controller which is actually really nice too bad you didn't have this one to compare I'm glad I didn't have that phone when I worked at a dog I was sent that phone for a review or something and I'm just like at I don't want to touch it I don't know is it just me or is the e event pretty much over I hope it is what is it just me or is the event pretty much over I hope it is I think it's pretty much over I think it is I think it is okay so and if it's not we're just gonna go through a last round of comments I guess sorry samsung is cheesy LG is creepy yes you are right we're reading some comments here first time broadcast for me on you too okay why don't they sell the nexus one central america they're asking in Spanish vivillon um sadly that's a google policy buddy I have to have to buy it with a VPN online uh marques Brownlee from mkbhd on YouTube tweeted LG just tried to out-weird samsung at the end of the LG to event sorry ok everybody the event is thankfully over um the seats are clearing out pretty quickly I think the seats were already cleared out and they're just all right so we have a new device a new smartphone that we have no clue what it's going to get launched we have no clue only t-mobile's that said was gonna be carrying it right yeah officially all I heard was tmobile up to check out Stephen but uh who did we get a spice I we didn't get a price point uh yeah listen not sorry it's if we're extremely underwhelmed it's because sadly this device is nothing innovative we I guess we were expecting a lot with all the fanfare and all the teasers that we got you know a phone that would learn from you sadly we still don't understand what LG thinks that learning from you means um and again you know don't get me wrong the phone is very beautiful the design is pretty um it looks very elegant up sadly the software is gonna be this you know it's really going to be the selling point that the specifications are great yeah they're awesome but we didn't get a lot of information on the phone we were told like it learns you how yeah it may have been because I was paying more attention to you but I didn't hear an explanation of that once through that whole presentation we were trying to Fayette exit but i don't know i think we were just not trying to get bored and sadly LG ended up pulling a samsung by the end of the by the end of the show so anyways also i should miss operators it's on all four okay we got that from what the bid on twitter which is stephen cunt and constant and SQ trust oh I got it constant and SQ cool dude he's uh his guest he's been a guest on the podcast before yeah really cool guy really cool guy so anyways final impressionists Taylor are you getting this phone no ok so i guess the last question that's left for you readers and viewers to this are you getting this phone is the LG g2 something that you're interested on um and my particular opinion just like I do on every pocket now daily I will sadly have to tell no there is no reason for me to wait for this phone if I know that the galaxy s4 is already better than this phone and the HTC One and the sadly you know I just do see that the you know at least I know that the nexus 5 or nexus for next generation is going to be a pretty phone because it'll most likely be you know they'll most likely use this film to base it on and it'll probably be called the Nexus 5 because of the new display size I would well yeah I'd love for it to be a 5-inch phone the nexus 5 but I want to amend my answer no I will not buy this phone in its current form if it turns out to be like the Nexus 4 was to the optimus G then yes I'll buy the nexus 5 but with all these phones on the horizon the only one that I'm really looking forward to is the note 3 because after all this time I'm still using the note 2 I mean I'm not using it currently because i'm reviewing v z ultra but ya know two is monday lee driver alongside the Lumia 1020 yeah you know I'm really sad for LG I do commend them for trying um I just you know a little tip for the LG executives please have your software Department visit the hardware guys obviously we won't know if the software is cool until we get it on our labs so wait for a review unit and you can also expect our hands on videos please do not make your final opinions with this phone just yet Michael Fisher will have all the hands-on videos that we need plus all the comparison videos that we need very shortly so stay tuned for that and probably we will be getting a review unit today not really sure Taylor you're gonna say something um yes i'm looking through the the stream of youtube comments and it's just flying by but i just saw like 40 nose and one yes for ya are you getting this oh wait a second let me let me try to refresh sure each other and then someone else commented knocks on phone to wake it up breaks glass oh there's somebody here saying hell no yeah no no no no ok create a build a site for us to vote no ok hell no ok no I'm getting an HTC One max no nothing really here to see absolutely no um I would wait for the nexus 5 I have no no Nexus 5 no note uh come on use another world like like that for itself I think that speaks for itself yeah yeah sadly I'm not not really good showmanship is willing I think LG come up just a bit short this time and and the showmanship in this event was very strange it very awkward yeah Aaron and I don't know how to take it so anyway stay I am going to go on my google play music all access and listen to some singing choir boys for a few hours just kill anyways Taylor any final thoughts before we go um nice try LG but you're not gonna win me over this time okay viewers you can follow mr.
