2013-11-08
and we should be live good morning good afternoon good evening everybody and welcome to episode number five of season number two of the pocket now live i'm anton denied managing editor and i have the utmost pleasure it's not everyday Brenda minimum the editor-in-chief joins us still warm welcome to Brandon minimum hi Brandon yo how are you today you know I am I want to talk about something real quick and I actually want to see if we can get some participation here I want to talk about the nexus 5 because I've actually returned my Nexus 5 um be which is which is crazy because it's it's such a good phone it's got android 4.3 it's really fast the camera is better than the nexus 4 but not amazing but the screen see this is so washed out that I just I can't do it I can't support the nexus 5 because of the screen being washed out it's really crisp really clear but like it looks like there's a white film over everything even at max screen brightness so any guys here have you gotten the nexus 5 again zone raise their hand let's talk about the nexus 5 all right this guy right here in in New of the Nexus 5 please unmute please please unmute there should be eight ok we heard we got you baby is back yeah it's a little choppy um so do you have your nexus 5 with you uh I'm looking at school ok here's a tip for you apparently or your speed internet connection is not that fast so why don't you just kill your camera and leave audio only so we can hear what you're saying that's it yeah it's somewhat better hopefully it will become even better just go ahead so so tell me tell you think what you did laughing hi yes I don't think this is going to work yeah I don't think so Ian why don't you try to join us again maybe your connection will improve okay because so far we can't hear anything you're saying okay oh okay hold on no no now it's good done and now it's bad again so let's make yeah okay anybody else would a nexus 5 anyone else for the Nexus 5 no no no and ok i'll ask you something I haven't seen the nexus 5 yet but i do remember we had a similar conversation regarding the nexus 7 not this year's model but the initial Nexus 7 and I told you that the worst screen on the planet is on that tablet now how did you compare the nexus 5 the Nexus 5's washed out screen with the nexus 7's washed out screen if you if you saw the nexus 7 from last year it's the same deal like there's the contrast isn't there the the the only difference is that the clarity is there this is a really high PP on the Nexus 5 but the same thing like the chrome icon you know how it has like red and blue and yellow it's not really like strong red yellow and blue like LG doesn't know how to make screens because they make screens for apples devices so do you think this might have been on purpose to reduce gosht yeah i think it was to reduce costs this is what i picture i picture LG going into a room with Google showing like five different panels with little price tags above each of them starting with the best with the g2 screen too expensive and it kind of went down the line and they picked one that for most people is good enough but it's not of the quality of the g2 ok you know what why don't you choose somebody from down below to talk to and hopefully if somebody comes in with the nexus 5 in their hands will circle back to this all right let's talk to Kareem what's up a man where are you from I'm from Egypt Egypt yeah finally somebody on my own time zone Wow finally someone on Tony's time zone so what what phone are you using what I'm using that looks like everybody's got connection problems today yeah I couldn't hear you I did you say I thought about you know to galaxy note 2 that's a very respectable phone it's are you considering getting the note 3 to LA though I won't i won't put it considering i won't buy no.3 this deep not this year not this are you running IE running stock TouchWiz on your note to know actually rooted and installed the TM 10.2 CM 10.2 cm11 is going to be 4.4 based is that right by they are open what is wrong with google today it's really tough to hear you um I don't think that's going to work can you save your camera try to disable your camera I don't think that that does much but it's worth a shot okay try talking now how could you turn out yes we can hear you it's it's problem that we only hear every fifth word you say okay until Kareem fixes his problems let's talk to somebody else let's talk to somebody else I return sorry about that so who has a really fast connection raise your hand Tony now Tony you don't count this guy here in the shadows uh min yes finally yes it's like butter what kind of connection are you on um I'm on comcast but it's actually cuz my voice been living be like I have like Paul for like a few days awesome so what do you want to talk about men um I'm actually um I'm sorry I'm actually one haha no cap 1520 the Nokia 15-20 let's tell what do you what do you want to say about it what do you think about it um I don't know um it's like I was hoping that Microsoft will bring them feature that they have an artery Snap feature that's well gaps 66 inch screen I was expecting that but apparently not so like this race me question it's like if they're a snap feature what you gotta get-get no Catholic enjoy yes I think yeah i mean this the snap features a no-brainer i mean in windows 8 it's it's such a big deal especially in 8.1 because it's better you can write you can resize it to any degree whereas in Windows 8 you can only do like a third at a time yeah it's so it's so strange that they didn't do the snap feature with especially with such a big screen and 1080p support that would have made it awesome i guess they want you to get a s surface if you want if you want to do snap well maybe they are planning on that once we all have heard rumors that Microsoft is planning on unifying Windows RT and Windows Phone so maybe Windows Phone 8.1 unify who'd Windows RT will probably bring that two phablets and maybe the rumored 7 inch smaller service that would be sweet so what would fun are using them um I actually just got my endpoint 1020 oh yeah that takes some good fix you got in black yeah and you have a case on um yeah cusp if I actually don't I mean like I don't like case it's kind of bulk up phone but like I they don't want to take a chance of dropping it on cuz i bought is a lot so I don't have any warranty stuff like that you babe like 800 bucks for that oh I school I got unmet me for like 600 oh not bad hey let me ask you does the does the Oreo on the back bother you because when i was using a 1020 and i put it down on a table you know is kind of like you know not very stable yeah that happened to me yesterday i was testing and it's kind of awkward because whenever i hold it like Dario keep getting away and like it's really awkward just call and text and so I try to put it on tape all in half and the thing happened what happening is like is wobbling around so it is it's just awful like maybe ask you this I'm not right let me ask you this eventually the humps going to be gone technology's going to be good enough to wear that they can they can keep the peer review of 41 megapixel camera in a slim form factor without the hump you think we're going to get that next year do you think it's going to be 2015 or do you think it's going to be a long time until we have like that dream phone with that awesome camera in a slender body i would say next year just cussed a 1520 if you look at the camera home I mean is still half a home but I mean it's 20 20 megapixel it's not that big anymore and this I believe the Sony Xperia I forgot what was it the one with 20 min hae the seat 1a xperia z1 yeah i mean like i don't think that won't happen camera hum right no it was like us but we're talking 20 to 40 min I mean that's a doubling of well pixels yeah but I mean technology the one gear as I feel like Nokia or any OEM should figure out how to put a full on mega pixel without come because it's really starting to bother me like and I just got this yesterday well I think the hump is not necessarily because of the sensor but but it's more about the optical image stabilization and older motors and everything which keeps the actual sensor and lenses in sync when you take a picture so it's not that much the sensor itself it was back in the 808 days when because of the sensor it had to be a little bit of thumb but on the 1020 I think it's about that it construction the entire system that's what makes it thicker you know what we haven't seen anything about is optical zoom on a camera that would be awesome optical zoom on the samsung galaxy s4 zoom my friend which is why would I they reckon in repose you know what i mean i think that like whoever figures it out first without a hump is going to get a lot of a lot of buzz cuz like the other day I a little story I woke up in the morning and there was a deer caught in my fence right and I didn't really want to get near it because you know so I try to take a picture of this deer and I was so far away so I did the little pinch to zoom and I got so blurry and I'm just thinking like why can't there be optical zoom on a smartphone camera yet like I mean you look at like some point and shoot cameras like some Sony cameras are some Nikon's that are really small and they have zoom and the lens doesn't perjure that much like that would be okay if the lens protruded a little bit when you were zooming yeah but on the other end the Lumia 1020 fixes that you don't need the optical zoom you have the that 41-megapixel canvas and you can just select five megapixels out of the entire canvas and boom there's your zoom yeah a big something like I cannot find Robbie Turner when I take pictures and weird the Rob picture will be available to you was in replication half and and 10 I can just a 5 megapixel yeah antenna like I cannot find him how do you want me getting soaked yeah the 34 megapixel version is saved on your on your phone and you'll be able to access it once you hook it up to your computer either Mac or Windows ok alright Anya let's move on do you want to know please be her be the one who selects the next color hey Becca alright see men nice dog I want to talk to the guy who's in the car who has disappeared oh no there he is I've got my buttons and messed up is it is it room L yeah hi there can hear me yeah you are there leave where are you a recon from yeah i'm a i'm coming from a london UK nice what kind of car you in Alexis Alexis dan I mean darn is it is it your Lexus are you riding with someone vice- mine yeah I just parked up and aware of facebook and i saw the the post about the hangout session so i thought miles was running so the connections pretty good when I are you an LTE right now our Wi-Fi 4g t-mobile will e UK really fast connection i get about 40 megabits per second so it's quite good wow that is excellent and what phone are you talking on at the moment I've got galaxy s4 I got that upgraded about six months ago and it's due me stomach great I used to have an iphone switch over to android and a I love it this is best but I bad it's so funny thing that the galaxy s4 was released six months ago which means a galaxy is fine is not too far off what do you what are you thinking with the five yeah that's a thing cuz i'm i'm on contract to your contracts I can't upgrade a get a new phone so if it's a substantial improvement on this floor I might just sell this in this by by the phone unlocked from a from the shop spaghetti what would have to be different for you to sell that at the S 4 from five um I would think if you had a faster processor Snapdragon 800 maybe we may be the next generation I think it's gonna have a 64-bit and if taps are optimized for the chip that would be something that would be interested in but i don't think the s4 is a big of improvement on the s3 apart from a few of the gimmicks which I don't I don't really use like all those gesture movements and all that yeah do you keep that stuff turned off yeah well yeah basically turned off and the battery life is always isn't all that to be honest I barely get about a day's usage from it so I got pretty much a percent of passive mode on and that's before the day if you're doing a lot of hangouts I can understand why he from kinking Henry lane yeah but yeah generally if it was a major improvement than I would be interesting in the otherwise i'll just wait for two years Timmer contracts finished and then I'm upgrade to work the best phone at a time and you're using apple headphones on your hands you know the galaxy ones to the gaijin yeah you once they're just like Apple cuz they're white and I got the clicky hang on it go figure Brennan yeah well is Lyra is there anything else you want to talk about him i was looking to get a tablet uh I'm not one and the so many out there but I would like to get android based on but just let you just let's get your pin is on which you think would be the best one to get maybe look big size 1 i'll tell you what the nexus the new nexus 10 should be out soon so you should probably wait to to make your decision until then but the new Nexus 7 is really really good my only complaint about it is that there's a software bug where like overnight it drains a lot of battery like when it Winston standby but I think it's gonna get a 4.4 update soon which should fix that but like the display quality the speed it's it's just such a good tablet and you'll really appreciate how it kind of fits in one hand and it's it's just very if you can put in your pocket it's it's small enough for that so I think that's your best bet that's great I'll definitely consider thanks excellent alrighty well thank you for joining us from your car and we'll see you next time just let's have a big fan of you guys i want your youtube channel every day so that's quite the book we appreciate that alright see ya thank you you want to take another one brandon or should i because i'm having some issues i cannot see any video I can listen to audio but there's no video on my and so can you guys see me yeah Cole's gone going just fine okay so you want to take somebody or should i pick somebody why don't you a pic someone now all right let's let's see a Korean did you fix your problems oh well could you hear me now yes it's it's somewhat better yes better than all right okay so what were we talking about earlier well I was we were talking about cm11 yes and Brandon said that it will most likely be based off of Android for that forked get yeah I got me release it for next for for the next four well I'm sure that there will be there will be options nightlies to download on most of the popular phones I mean right now there are a lot of Android for that for builds for for the Galaxy Nexus even for the nexus s 4g 24 i can actually name a phone which which is a recent phone that does not have a for that for built its not cyanogenmod but a for that for AOS beam oh yeah recently i'm running the android 4.4 launches like the and you're running that on + grade for that free yeah and yeah that's a I'm sorry go ahead brandon i was gonna say way so what did you download a an APK and kind of sad load it yeah i would be for the launcher and some new apps from Google from android 4.4 when people said that they had some bugs because there were some compatibility issues between the new launcher from KitKat and previous builds of android now I see that Thiago is also showing us that he has that do you have any bugs yeah with the camera app I have a bug in the whole sphere the crashes everytime maybe that's because of the drivers but for the launcher itself does it work as it fluid and a little bit laggy it's a little bit laggy what what phone are you using a samsung galaxy note 2 oh it shouldn't be laggy under no to that thing was fast it is fast but the launcher it still fits little planning okay here's a question you got a note 2 and the note 3 is out how come you have not updated to do three I mean I I know the reasons why somebody should not upgrade but I want to hear your thoughts well I didn't find the note 3 textured back later pictures back come on you like the hyper blaze more than the faux leather oh yeah okay you know what me too but let me I and also the the side was a little bit like a notebook was what was change it wasn't like the Samsung Galaxy s4 I like that design of the same to the gods is for more than everybody more 30 they had two in dramatic I can hear somebody else that can go ahead Sorry Sorry green go ahead and Ian please mute your microphone thank you yes so this was the main reason for not upgrading and also I i recently bought the note 2 so it has been a little bit over six month with me is it is a key contract or did you buy it unlocked and not was all that was on lock oh so you're not tied into a two-year contract but uh no no no no that's better yeah okay anything else you want to talk about you want to ask me you're Brandon well nothing else I guess I could ask about I guess I'll leave it some someone else sure no problem tell everybody if you have Google+ Facebook Twitter and you would like people to follow you like you or tweet at you feel free to pimp your social media who could tweet me at shed on this court takes it well that's my twitter name or Twitter awesome yeah thank you very much for joining us have an awesome awesome weekend stay safe Brandon back to you back to me Tony I've got a question for you please what phone are using these days i'm using the lumia 1020 in a combination with the s4 octa Wow because i was using the HTC One and its final he got android for that three and apparently it broke my connection between my phone and my mac the android connector no longer detects my HTC one because the HTC One is stuck in MTB mode which I hate so much so i can no longer transfer files or pictures or documents or music between my mac and my one so i got so frustrated i took out the S 4 from my drawer and now that's the combo hmm got it what what funny are you looking forward to getting next well let's add it's a tricky one huh I thought of the iphone 5s but then again i saw that there's a little difference between the 5s and the five so i'm skipping this year's iphone i always was in love with the LG g2 but by the time i'm gonna get g2 is gonna be stale so let's stay with this statement for the moment i'm not planning on getting any phones maybe after CES for mwc very good well i'm gonna pick someone else now i'm gonna pick rj thank you for talking to me sure goodbye first kid hey RJ you there you'll have to a mute first he has to unmute are gay unmute all right let's go to Tiago hello can you hear me oh yeah loud and clear how's it cuz I know a man what what phone were you holding up earlier it's a bit of an older phone it's the sony ericsson xperia arc oh thats that was a nice phone i enjoy it even though it's still a single call i am running a cyanogenmod 10.2 on it i think your signage in my 10.2 it lags yes us but I should be getting a new phone soon hopefully a nexus 5 ooh I think you'll be happy with the nexus 5 unless you're a display freak like me now the only problem is a I'm actually calling from South Africa Johannesburg and just just like a Kevin last week it's it's not really it's not easy to get any Nexus device besides besides the Nexus 7 tell me about South Africa you've got any more I think but the problem with importing is a the price goes up drastically where you guys will be paying I think it's a three fifty dollars for the 16 gig will be paying maybe round about equivalent to maybe six hundred dollars and that is a good price because some European countries like mine and our colleague hi main Honduras we pay way more like 657 750 for a nexus phone well yeah that that is quite area and also hearing here in South Africa phones in general are quite expensive i mean everyone who wants to get a decent high-end phone goes for a contract even though luckily all phones Soulja are unlocked so we can use them on all networks so one of that whether sound that works like in South Africa they're not they're not too bad I mean we've most networks have at least 3g only two networks have LTE and even then the signal is is kind of sketchy it's some areas will work good other areas not so much we still starting out at that right so what's the name of the carrier you use MTN it's one it's one of the biggest ones here it's between MTN and Vodacom and Europe at mtm is is that also present in some European countries MTN I'm not sure but I know that they present in most African countries she'll probably somewhere in Europe too because they are familiar I'm sorry for interrupting maybe no no problem it's always it's always interesting to hear about how other countries do cellular networks because for the longest time the US was so behind and then the u.s. like was ahead in LTE and other countries are just getting LTE now yeah which is called a perception difference Brendan because what you guys call LTE some European countries offered that speed on 4G or HS DB plus so it's it's all about how you market you speeds not necessarily about the technology itself because I I've been on fast 4G or HS DB plus networks in Europe which were faster than some of your LTE speeds oh yeah yup yum yum so it all depends but yes if we talk like textbook LTE the u.s. is ahead but with eight percent or eighty five percent smartphone adoption rate until until you get to south korea with the LTE advanced lte-advanced yeah just kind of just going to mention that so that's like what is that up to 100 megabits per second that's way faster than Wi-Fi I know it's really fast that's about as much as I know about it so so Tiago when let's let's think about like a the next few years when we've got speeds even beyond that up to maybe a gigabit per second far faster than what we get on a landline unless you have google fiber or something with like what do you think we can do with all this bad with like is he going to be just all weekend us you know go to web page faster there's got to be like new uses for all this speed I'm sure there will be I mean first of all I gotta feeling by then storage will also grow exponentially I mean we might have phones okay we talk about Samsung over bloating their phones watch phone soon come look like 16 gigs worth of software just you never know and then to update that you're going to need a really fast connection yeah that's interesting so that's our to knows brandon you believe in OS in the cloud for phone I don't I don't I don't see that there's an advantage to that in terms of power and you know data is expensive I mean the carrier still today you know don't give you my key here in South Africa mobile data is really really expensive so Wi-Fi still going to be the thing for a while when you're downloading apps and multimedia yeah um so who knows you know I mean I mean if you look at like the difference between 3g and 4g or 2g and 4g like what are we doing that's different we're doing some more video calls we're at downloading attachments more cloud based storage we're watching more YouTube videos we're watching more netflix over the air so there is a difference mostly video so and like okay okay is coming ah for kaif away so that that could be like the next thing in terms of because you know phones are going to have 4k in 2015 we're already talking about higher res in 2014 I mean we've already got the some variants of the note 3 filming in 4k and I remember my phone my xperia arc they they market it as forming in 720p it doesn't have a 720p screen the next year it was already commercially available a 720p phone yeah but Thiago you know that Samsung is the note 3 is recording 4k video because Samsung has also some 4k TVs which they need to sell so at the moment I think that's a huge marketing catch but yeah 4km phones will be here eventually I don't know who wanted or what the advantages are but which version of the note 3 does 4k video um um I'm not sure it's the it's not the one which we reviewed but the other one oh whoa look at that I know I checked around when it came out they did say 4k video sir yeah look I don't hear video size it says three oh my gosh is reporting what's the point like what are you gonna do with that what are you gonna wait wait until the price of 4k TVs go down from 5,000 to like you know anyway uh well they all right expensive oh yeah thanks to thanks for stopping by Tiago thank you so much I mean I really wanted to thank you guys for everything that you're doing usually when I wake up is round about the time when Jaime hi my releases his pocket not daily and that's usually one of the first things i watch in the morning so let's hustle really thank you guys so much for now fighting us being a reader on the info thank you so much also for this this this hang arts it's been really enjoyable and I'll keep on watching thank you thank you very much and thanks bye ok bye Brendan still you or do you want me to take this one why don't you take this one okay Tony you have to do it in a southern American accent the whole thing I'm not sure I can do that I can do Russian accent if you want oh yeah that's Russian accent no no I don't want to creep all the people out oh don't be let's talk to a Michael Michael please unmute your microphone and let us talk about whatever you want to talk about hi guys what do you think is going to be happen what do you think is going to happen with the samsung galaxy s5 well that's a tricky question first of all I don't think that we will see an S 5 at the very beginning of the year I think that we will see the s5 summer around March April or May just like we've seen it this year and I think it will be a phone which will be like so feature pack then so spec back that it will be unbelievable I'm guessing it will run probably the next processor which comes after the Exynos 5 if we're talking about the Exynos version and the next netdragon after the 800 I think it will have at least three Ram I think I still think it will be like 1080p but maybe a little bit larger screen a new design probably on the lines of the galaxy note 3 it will have a 16-megapixel optical stabilized camera and here's note this I think it will have a new version of TouchWiz and I already have it my prediction I disagree with most of that except for the new version of TouchWiz I think that's actually going to be the hallmark feature I think that Samsung has been working on a new version of Android that's almost a forked version but it still has touchwiz elements I mean they've been criticized for years now for their TouchWiz interface and I think this year we're finally gonna get away from that another thing that I think we're going to see is an entirely new design Tony because what always happens is that the the s phone dictates the note phone design and now we're back around the cycle again except for this year when when the note 3 had nothing to do with the s4 um what do you mean I mean it's got the it's it's it's got a lot of similarities yeah but they changed the materials I'm not saying that I would not enjoy a premium aluminum galaxy s5 so that'll be awesome you know I was going to suggest that the galaxy s5 will be metal but you know remember the rumors about the new f series of young I still think they're going to do that I think that the only way they can get that really lightweight feel and the galaxy s is to go with plastic so I think they're sticking with plastic I think that they're they're definitely going to have a textured back like the note 3 and and the the other one is a textured and the roundels oh yeah like the galaxy round um it's I agree with the 16 megapixel camera I think it's going to be a really good really good camera uh obviously I could see them going to four gigs of RAM or beyond because of the 64-bit thing if they do with you if they do it because I mean like everyone's asking with Apple why 64 because the main advantage of 64-bit is you can address more than four gigs of ram but like the million-dollar question is what will they do with all of that power yeah more TouchWiz more mortgages Michael if the yellow cs5 is anything like me and Brandon described that would you buy um well it sort of depends on generally the price point and how good of a phone it was how many features it did have well you know the prices of the yellow stones are pretty much the same here on here and it's pretty much the best phone in the first half of the year without a day yeah definitely I'd say soon okay anything else you'd like to ask us or you want to talk about um do you think that the do you think that something will have any metal phones because and if you do when will they bring them well there's this rumor that they might bring the metal body to a so-called f-series which brandon just just mentioned which will be a premium line up but so far the S series was the premium line up so I'm not really seeing how Samsung could could go both ways within within its lineup and portfolio of devices I think it's a natural thing which they need to do because people like really really hate plastic these days when it will happen summer around or after mwc if it happens I'm skeptical a bit okay I agree I don't think they're going to change very quickly I think late the earlier Samsung Galaxy Note full-timer gonna sear maybe or maybe summer during the summer they will introduce like hey everyone this is the new line this is the f-series phones which is a completely premium phone it costs like twice as much as the galaxy s5 and you can buy it if you don't like plastic who knows they could they could do that too because you know there they got power and money yeah they did Michael anything else i know that's it thanks awesome thank you very much for joining gun come back next week okay yeah definitely i buy brand them back to you hey you know what I'm excited about I'm excited about the HTC m8 I'm not why because I'm guessing that it will probably be too early in the year to have specs worthy of beating the s5 which will come after it it will be in the headlines for probably around one month until the s5 comes out it will be completely the same thing as the HTC One is if the leaks we've seen recently are any indication and HTC has to really sort out that fingerprint scanner or drop it because is now on the one max it just is just there no one wants a fingerprint scanner right I mean am I am I crazy to say that no one cares about fingerprint scanner unless you thought I think by best I mean it's nice to have like on the five s where it doesn't get in the way I mean it's just it's right there in the home button but um this thing on the back and the move what the and it doesn't even work that well I mean why would you include a future if it doesn't work that well did you see in Michaels video when he showed out the fingerprint scanner like how many times he actually swiped his finger over the camera instead of the fingerprint scanner oh it's awful placement come on um yeah I think I think you might be right about the Emmy I think that hd's gonna release it a little too early because that's what they're they've been doing and I think that'll be good in a way because it'll get a lot of attention fresh phone 2014 but it's going to have probably a Snapdragon 800 nuts dragon like 900 or whatever is coming out next year um I think they have a lot of a lot of things to do that they could really improve upon that they're going to do with the MA like a smaller form factor i mean the the wood is so tone so why they for the screen size i think that you know boom sound is doesn't really need to be improved the camera come on the camera can finally be better here's a question for you do you think the the rumor is that the MA through will ship would send six do you think that HTC will have an overhaul of the stands 5 or did will they go with the same minimalistic look and just to add more features hmm I think your incense for the long haul and I think sent six is going to look a lot like since five and 5.5 because people really like it and they did a good job and it's going to be 4.4 based and all that good stuff cool now a quick announcement before we get back to you Brandon this week's episode will be shorter one because both Brandon and I have to do some other stuff pocket not related stuff so we were sorry in advance we're all still gonna be here for like ten more minutes which brandon will dedicate to the next two calls yeah let's talk to hi Otto how's it going hey um thank you for favoriting my tweets a lot very nice meeting what what what are you rocking uh I have my custom Moto X oh yeah what a case you up with a case on with the case I yeah I just the the the nonwoven ones just don't feel good so hey putting a case on it but it honestly feels better that way what sure sure what else have you done with the ad the XO you have AB like a cool blue back and what's your accent color when they get the case off your quick you want show your phone I'm really up scream last time I was here it's been a while yeah whoa is that a casar like a that is my first d brand skin Oh deep brand looking good there we go my Moto X has black x ask accents Oh glad you are with the black front cuz the white friend doesn't look very good yeah I've seen that I've seen the white front it just kind of looks i like that i like the back in white but the front kinda looks dirty and gross it does so are you are you uh are you happy with the Moto X I am extremely happy with it and I for the first time in a really long time I don't feel the need to get any other phones out there oh come on really you don't want the next five even with the nexus 5 because it doesn't have all the Moto X's feature is the active listening and all that yeah the Moto X is just such a good phone did you get the software update for the camera I did but you you can't fix the camera it's it's the camera is unfixable it's so bad how do you think the conversation went in the motorola boardroom when they present this motor Alexei engineers are done with it and they take a picture do they say oh it's it's crappy but hopefully no one will notice like how do you do that I mean it's sigh it's about as as awful as the droid lineup on verizon so it's probably just what they're used to see what they're used to here's a question of the Moto G is rumored to be the Moto X's smaller brother and it's rumored to have a 5 megapixel camera which would be much smaller than the camera on the Moto X what would people say if the lower end camera on the Moto G would take better pictures than the higher end camera on the Moto X I mean I'd be very sad about I think a lot of people would uh I think a lot of people would be getting the Moto G because it's supposed to be cheaper from what I understand but it would confuse people because people mistake more megapixels as being better so all of a sudden if a 5 megapixel camera has something better than a higher one is just for about really bad yeah I'm sorry whether you were about to add something when I stepped in what about what about tablet said did you get a nexus 7 actually last night i picked up ipad air ooh wow that's a space gray how many uh how much storage it's just a 16 gig model I'm uh this one I just got for about two weeks like a review and then I might be getting a getting aid my own device here in the next month or so so what are your first impressions of the air I like it it's it's really really light and thin and you know it's probably got the best build and design of any tablet I've used and I I'm not the biggest fan of iOS but you know it's it's pretty good and you can't be the app support so it's I'm liking it so far yeah i mean the apps are amazing only problem is that you know Google considers obviously iOS second class and so you don't get all of the new stuff and the best features that are on Android right but you know that's that's kind of a boo although they did just update the google search app so that it's got more Google now features I'm pretty sure it'll actually give you the notifications similarly to how Android does it does although I I've never gotten a notification since the update so I wonder if it like if you have to key if you have to open it kind of keep it in memory or probably owed out assumes though are you uh do you think you'll end up with the ipad with retina display or do you think the air is the we like the bigger screen test I've been thinking about getting the many we actually at the tmobile store i work at we've had them sitting in we've had two minis sitting in the back of our store for about a week now and I've been wanting to buy one yeah we can't sell them yet obviously since they're not out so I figured I would just fit the air perfectly there's there there are some issues with screen burn and with with the screens of the ipad mini retina and that's the reason why it's being delayed so much rumors hope that's not an issue with with the inventory we've already got okay where's the a midori located give me a mature now it's um every time I pick up the air I think like this is how the first iPad should have been yeah and I know the technology wasn't there for it but like we went through two generations of iPads that were so thick and heavy it's just it's just I don't even like them and we loved them yeah yeah what I uh I just had a customer come into my store the other day who brought in his new ipad air and his original first gen ipad he wanted to put both on to our network since we have the free two hundred megabyte plan and just holding the two of them next to each other in each hand was it's it's crazy how different just half a pound can make on a tablet how how much thinner the air is hey I want to ask you about that two hundred megabyte thing just for my own purposes so like it if I buy an ipad air I first of all I have to buy the 18 or the t-mobile version right to get it uh no because the air will actually work on any network whichever model you have so you buy the AT&T version doesn't matter so then you you activate cellular data and then you choose like t-mobile on the iPad ready to take into a tmobile store you would take into a tmobile store it's ten dollars for the sim card and then basically as uh you can get it on prepaid or postpaid whichever one you want with prepaid you have to it it's free two hundred megabytes for life but if you don't use it within 90 days they will cut it so if you don't use what the sim card yeah if you don't if you don't access the network for 90 days they then they'll just end the service just because that's how prepaid works in general with tmobile got it but it's like its true like free 200 megabytes mhmmm that's amazing house t-mobile's LTE these days it depends on where you are um I have actually had some really good experiences with it it's it's not quite as as fast as say a TNT's is and I'm not sure about verizon because I've never I haven't had them since I've had a flip phone but with 80 mg n AT&T LTE around my area is about 30 to 50 megabits down okay one on the day and t-mobile's is close to uh I'd say about anywhere from 15 to 30 in my apartment so it's it's it's pretty good and especially considering how recently it's been released it's it's I'm surprised how good it is yeah and they're catching up fast yeah it's still not the coverage still isn't great in not in like rural areas but if you're in if you're in the city I you know I've had any issues with t-mobile's coverage awesome well thanks for thanks for stopping by yo bro I think I'm going to turn it over to Tony and if you think the last goal and then we'll just wrap it up why don't you take the last call cuz I'm here every week and you're here like every six months that is good Pablo says t-mobile LTE has been awesome awesome for me where's Pablo Pablo not in here okay um very good let's talk to Steven hey Steven judging by the choppiness up his camera I don't think he hears us Steven oh ok that's all right okay you have to mute he perish that's not working very well in that case let's jump to I'm bad day to finish over here she got me I think are you there uh hello I'm getting lots of noises hello um anyway um let's let's good to talk to a job did how do you say that hi sorry oh yeah hey yeah that's my second account jam it to my second account so this is actually my first account of some reason google plus log into that one oh no problem where you from um right now I'm on Canada nice is it getting cold there yet ha not yet and set some weed right now 12 degrees which let's say that would be like 50-something Fahrenheit I think yeah I'm doing that why doesn't everyone just use the same temperature I mean come on yeah why don't you guys just switch to Celsius until oh yeah exactly that America is the one who's just like okay we're just used Fahrenheit I mean though the worst part of it is that we still are on not metric and I think for like decades we've tried to move to metric but then then someone figures out we have to change our all the street signs and that's very expensive and no one wants to pay for that uh so anyway what um what kind of phone you using Bible HTC one x + 1 x plus so that's got via faster Tegra 3 yeah and i have i have cyanogenmod running on it so it's probably pretty pretty speedy right yeah it's actually pretty good and I'm also using the google launcher referred to the nexus 5 minus i missed the memo about the Google launcher I got to get that going cuz it's it's so nice to have google now on the left side of your home screen yeah it's actually really good remind you eat lengthy it's also a little weird though right because for the longest time Android has had the central screen flanking screens and now you have no other screen on the left yeah yeah but Google now is actually pretty useful because like you can instead of jumping into the weather app you can just swipe to the left and you'll see the weather it's pretty useful and I can also see like the sports horse stuff yeah that is a very handy what is was Google now not do that you wish it could I wish it would like like you discussed on the bacchanal weekly that it could do system functions for example like i could say turn off Wi-Fi and if you turn off fly find stuff like that yeah and especially on like a nexus 5 or our moto x it should be better integrated so you can do system functions like that yeah it was just amazing though when like when you first use google now and it starts to like send you a notification like it knows what time you leave for work or school and it says there's gonna be traffic or there's not going to be traffic yeah like yesterday i went out somewhere then it took like I just swipe to the left for Google their owner told me how much time with traffic it's going to be it's going to take me to get home pretty handy because you searched for an address on your browsers yeah yeah so do you find a little creepy um no I don't like because i live in canada the government doesn't like really late monitor also anything so yeah we've got the bola NSA thing happening here where apparently everything is under surveillance but you know yeah i'm just wondering jasco question um in brand kenyatta nexus vibrate uh i sent it back but I had it and how was the speaker quality compared to like for example an iphone 5s 5s is definitely louder and a little bit clearer it's not bad it's yeah I I like that is not on the back yeah it's harder to cover up with your hand so I'd say it's average maybe a little bit above average but no boom sound right no way no way um not many phones can do a HTC could do and I'm surprised that this year there haven't been boomsound copycats on facing speakers amplified it's really amazing nobody wants to make huge phone's not on let's make you sean's except HTC hey but thanks for stopping by now we've got to wrap things up here right Tony yes that is correct so thank you very much for joining us thank you everyone this was probably the shortest bucket now live episode in the history of the bug in my life but
