little later on but one way or the other we want to hear from you bank tells the truth he always speaks the truth and that is why we have him on the show so weird and often all that stuff being said there's a lot of truth bombs that need dropping there's a link Jules just sent me I've got to go look at and there's a Q&A panel that's blank right now which is an unusual thing this far into the no it's fine do you promote the film people know we're doing live hundred questions in there by this point so is mine we need a little break oh yeah i'm wearing my LD west holster again by the way um which has two empty pockets i'm wearing captain no phones it's right because i can't show you anything that i have a look at the secret phones yeah I have things guys that we're gonna talk about a lot but I can't turn around this way so let's get into the damn news and tell people if and going on Jules take us into the news block now I think that it's important that we kick off this news block with the biggest smartphone news of the week and I don't know if this is the biggest more fun more because I i I've just become Steven tell me if you're with me I've just become sort of mm accustomed to one plus being like oh if there's one plus story it's a big story because one plus has been the sort of despite its missteps has been this darling of the tech nerd the superandroid nerd space for so long but tell is this is this stuff worth good is this particular story worth getting excited about our way well I gotta disagree with you a little bit there mum plus having all these big stories companies really great about keeping its name in the press but it's sort of like it likes to leave a lot of little breadcrumbs we rarely get one big thing from one plus this time though it really hasn't been teasing its new phone nearly as much as the 1+2 got teased and obliques leading up to its launch but we're talking about here if you haven't guessed already is the 1 plus x AKA 1 plus mini we've seen both names pop up 1 plus x is looking like the official one it features prominently in this invite going out for october 29 launch event it's it's going to be a much more mid-range device than the one plus two we've seen I mean there's been plenty of spec leaks early retailer listings they're not all of them agreeing on the same thing here from the hardware so we're not super clear on adjustments disagreement over the SOC and especially with these two names they still even with confirmation for the oneplus X so we've seen the oneplus mini name in some retail things as well there's the outside possibility that this different brand it could represent different hardware configurations or different markets so not super clear about what's going on there but yeah coming up Cooper 29 two weeks now pricing we've seen two twenty to fifty mentioned so a bit more affordable than the the 1+2 up in the 300 range but still not nearly as cheap as some of the Affordable Android options from like Motorola and other manufacturers though especially with the availability issues we always think of one plus phones I'm not quite sure how this guy's gonna fare yeah the perhaps the an early indication although this should never I should never rely on this for any sort of insight is the comments section we're currently this is relatively new store easily 14 comments on it as of this second but these comments go yet another phone that I can't buy unless i watch the net like a hawk on meth harrell powerfully unviable and powerfully beautiful you mean predictable right some large fellow commented man no claws are out I mean hey well I'm gonna wait till we can find out some more on this and we will be finding out some more on this do not worry you're going to put our hands on this device did you talk about pricing can we move on yeah yeah to 20 to 50 ish somewhere in there cool sorry I was trying to deal with the problem with media card its jewels all pics later to you as well oh you don't know you don't even have it yeah it's not great flow read some it's funny cuz some days it's fine and some days is not maybe jewels maybe somebody in jewels offices plan is sweet oh and I was home forever that's no good well I didn't ask Jules weed we didn't mean to me please well I guess it's gonna be our faces for a second hey let's talk about that other big ass phone we talked about OE spec good yeah that's better that's slightly better let's talk about that other big ass phone release that we teased in our intro verizon wireless is surprise surprise launching some more droids who are complete shock no one's know this one counts stunned at this uh how many funds are we talking about Stephen though it's not like last year we only have the droid turbo this looks like a twofer yeah i mean we're talking about invite coming up here for a verizon motorola launch event and again we're talking about two week time frame here the 27th yeah and they say droids uh so more than one definitely and unless we've been completely missing something out there looks like running at two phones the droid turbo 2 and the droid maxx coming back from been about two years since i think we saw the original droid maxx two could join the droid turbo to the droid maxx too has been named is popped up in numerous official sources google mentioned did a couple weeks ago whether it's it out right in this support doc the droid maxx too is the US edition the Moto X play so finally coming to the US all right so ya better than that yeah just on verizon and the return 0 2 is the phone that we've been hearing about also as the moto x force is probably how it's going to come out internationally we don't know what Motorola is thinking about it international launch event maybe that'll be a little more low key thing in the days following the the turbo to announcement but that's going to be you know the higher-end option here quad HD oh wait they're not gonna drop these on the same day these two yeah these two become one of the same day the Moto X Forks we don't know what we might hear about that oh yeah right who knows uh ya know this is interesting um there was uh there's a bee I don't know I I want to take a look at this I noticed that you said we will be on the ground for the new LT launch event which is you know that was good of you Steven that is normally where we would be we were there for the droid turbo like I personally can't think of any reason why we wouldn't be there this year but you know who note the world is a confusing place and you know I don't know sometimes you send emails ago you know I just don't remember they're in New York necessarily at this event right ya know will sparrows now just go to my I got it well I gotta go back to moe's southwest grill at some point yeah you gotta get some more punch cards or something absolutely make sure that I get my sodium let's talk about a carrier development here this was in Jersey Lakes I don't like this I guess I am and so i guess i'll talk about even though it's quite confusing to me it is in it but it can't it sort of can't help but be a but be a confusing top yeah AT&T this week announced something called numbersync and if you're with it if your hip with this with mobile technology you will probably you will probably recognize what i mean when i say this is basically a teen teen of google voice which is a capability to among other things forward all of your calls and text messages to all of your devices but it takes it a step further by then by allowing sort of full back and forth interoperability so if you have say a smart phone a smart watch and a tablet and you give somebody your phone number and say text me later and they text you that text will be distributed to all of your devices or whichever one you're actively using at the moment which I think it will be smart enough to know and then when you reply that reply will no matter what device you reply from that replied will also be logged across all devices it's this sort of this is kind of link functionality we've learned to expect from cross-platform messaging clients accepts using the existing broad compatibility of SMS so people reaching you don't have to have some special app there just send you a regular text message but you get it everywhere it's all synced up best of both worlds in theory right and there's also that this extends to voice calls as well where the hardware allows you as access exit to voicemail to basically any means through which people can get ahold of you will be synced across your devices and the limitations that we should be aware there are and I want you to hit those but there's something else that I'm trying to I just want to cover it like the basic it won't require a tone app well sort of it'll be bit but it will require specific devices right because they have to bake this in to the carrier bag and he said it's going to work with likely your default SMS client but with the stipulation that ATT has to convince the company's making the SMS clients to build the functionality in yeah and it has I mean there isn't a list yet of what devices are going to support this and when 18t said the first one is coming soonish more by the end of the year but I don't think it's named any just yet I'm feeling it's gonna be like iphone and then maybe some high-end a high-profile Android but right then confirmed and it won't work with importantly I think it did they say it won't work with dumb phones or it has some some limitations in terms of I'm gonna need at least one smart phone that supports voice over LTE well not at least one you need a 1 vo LTE smartphone this will not work with non view LTE devices it won't work with multiple smart phones you can mock those smartphones you're not be able to share the and sync up these messages between them right so it has different yeah you have to have different form factors essentially is right it's basically allows you to use companion devices with one primary with your smart phone line so yeah the messages that would be sent to your phone also show up on your smart walks you have a cell enabled one or on your cell and they will tablet right so in the midst of all this so AT&T drops this bomb and I'm like it's not a bomb 18t drops this firecracker and I'm like this is actually pretty sweet pretty interesting it is because if you don't have a google voice or if you you can't have google voice for whatever reason or if you don't care about go you don't want to give Google your stuff but yeah I think that's the important thing with this is it makes easy to use with an existing number I know you can take a number import it to google voice but yeah people are a little apprehensive of taking their number to have for so long and you know signing it over to Google I know you still have control over it but it sure but in there but there are people who also don't want like wait so Google's gonna like have all my text messages ever and like it's going to be an actual like no I don't want it so if you trust AT&T more than Google I don't know if that's a great idea or not but hey great times anyway you have another option that's great so I think it's great so what does tmobile do like what does non seconds after this it doesn't cost have compatible devices you're you're good to go yeah so it t mobile jumps in like you know about a half minute after AT&T speaks happens like no that's stupid that's nobody wants that's stupid we're focus on building things people want your dumb you guys are all dumb that's based it was verbatim the release right soon yeah he doesn't release is we're gonna do something awesome it's gonna blow this out of the water and then tells us nothing about it it's okay for it probably t-mobile does a pretty good job of being like no this is stupid let me tell you why like you are but yeah but this is basically like what currently AT&T is strategy is to build or buy things and then try to convince customers they asked for it that's what chief operating officer Mike sievert said of of AT&T from his chair another a company I think of them like labs yeah meanwhile say they see verdict lens to mobile asks customers what they want a need and then builds it so I ok but would is the take over here is t-mobile gonna build a competitor yeah and accuse are selling a sprint also has something so this might not be super unique out there but AT&T is at least getting some press for its it's a new effort yeah meanwhile verizon's just just happy to be happy change in its logo and happy to be number one and just sitting on top no one's gonna do what y'all want to do frazzin don't need you uh let's talk software LG scored a little bit of a LG's had a good week in the press first we don't have the rundown but first Google came out and kind of in the middle of a cop's yeah so well jeez a great partner they're just terrific and now LG is the first officially I believe the first Android OEM to release android marshmallow on an existing device yeah in at least one market did I put enough qualifiers in there oh wait is it already out well it'll be out soon and only a yeah first in Poland right so we they said we're gonna put my g4 is gonna be first to get marshmallow Europe already got it before when we're talking about what lollipop uh yeah yes it's easier when you're not dealing with all the US carrier is and yeah coming up first then other markets will follow good on ya LG was it motorola i think had the first lollipops out last year didn't they yeah back before it started essing the bed when it came to two updates and let's make a big deal about that I wonder you know I didn't put that in the rundown but Motorola's having this issue where they have done this blog post words like hey here's other vices getting marshmallow get excited and not on that last last year smartphones last year's the last year's not last year's Moto X 2014 pure edition but the 2014 carrier editions are not we're not in the post and I think droid life ran I ran an editorial basically had a scathing what dog was happening looking for Allah and I think would burn them the most was that Motorola wouldn't even respond to a request for comment which I agree is kind of follow infuriating oh this is a tangent but reminds me guess what I did last weekend what I took my mother shopping for her first-ever smartphone no way yes we ended up walking away with a galaxy s6 but we were looking at all the devices in the motorola me of the rise in store there and there were i was surprised at it by the number of older models still out on display I have to warn her you can get this if you want mom it's because you really liked smaller phones and so a lot of the smaller ones are older but thinking about motorola and with last year's Moto X and your mom you get one of these devices that's pushing 18 months old now you don't know what you're in for in terms of ongoing software support here so yeah a little more the newer one true enough although i still i continue to think that only only people in our segment really care much about the yeah when I tossed you people you're becoming a lot more important a security updates are crucial know that you're absolutely right but as far as usability goes I every time anyone in my parents demographic including my parents is talking about an update it goes like this my phone keeps bothering me when I try to do something what's it saying it's summer update I hate I don't want to update it works fine I don't want to update any hmm so I don't think this this is as big a deal as it is a big deal because motorola built its current reputation on awesome updates and now it's sort of it hasn't taken long for it to sort of fall off that horse but if you care that much about updates why would you get a carrier version of a phone anyway when a pure version is available yeah I know come on Jules is like Jules makes a good point he wrote an editorial on this and will do I don't know maybe he'll put the link in the rundown Jules always gets really bent out of shape if we talk about a topic that he wrote an editorial on we don't have the link in the rundown feels nobody reads a rundown but put it in there put it in there because we want you to read it we want people to read that's not the route flash yet listen Google Joel wrote another wrote another piece that I'll talk about Dean he this is a piece called equal time well was a segment called equal time where we talk about Jules's pieces um no this was pieces of jewels are we talking about this was this was terrific because this was a headline that went like this every ok Google request you've made can be listened to and deleted and the deleted part is important because you want to be able to delete to your funky request but it was just a listen to two-bit remember go steam when i talked about google voice now what archives all your text messages you could search him and be like I put your tin hat on sure yeah brother you want to do that first but I didn't know this and Jules reported this uh I did not know that every google voice google voice request you've made is archived so I went in and listened to mine Oh Lord literally everyone it's real it's like it is it is this place where there's a lot of clips of my voice do it saying things like you know it's like how many space shuttle flights were there and like wake me up at 8am and like you know I just like what's the problem with those pokemons and just all the affected crazy yeah right how can i tell if my toe will fall off and it's you know it's fun because you do it every time of day so is every bit of background noise whether it's are you still happy to wake a supercut of them or something oh god that would be the best oh I love that the whole even the just the alarm clock segment would be like 18 minutes wake me up at 745 a.m. wake me and the failed ones don't seem to be in there unless I'm wrong um and the failed ones are the ones where I'm just like just completely lazy fair or like a little drunk I'm like semi damn alarm for 830 p.m. but it doesn't damn just brings it up so it doesn't know where it was first ones anyway you can delete them if you want to if you can stop them from being archived as well I went I think I'd set that a while ago because I didn't see any money did you oh that sucks you can go into the Google settings app on your android phone and personal info and privacy activity controls voice and out audio activity manage activity and this is also just a general reminder pay attention to these privacy controls here I mean it's not just google facebook at all have a lot of little settings you can delve into and have some degree of say over what they're collecting on you so maybe take a minute and look at those and make sure it's only keeping what you would like it to be keeping indeed indeed a Rooney I'm with you mm-hmm Samsung and LG by the way is to Steven people are really interested in knowing what your next phone is going to be and I'm going to ask you later don't worry we're gonna get to the left of the nice folks I'm gonna place for this news cuz I have stuff to do I've secret stuff to do so we have insurance Samsung and LG reportedly ramp up foldable smartphone display development finally whoa tell me about this Steven if you will look there's a graphic here with like a lot of phones folded up like wallets and they look Eddie gross a conceptual that you don't like that like a money clip it's nasty put your money in there I mean this is a foldable screens look like they're gonna be the next curve streams we saw these teased in trade shows for years they were always sort of hanging out there under glass you've seen like how many times you can fold this without breaking it and how far and then all of a sudden they're going to appear in the market like we saw with the curb phones when this happens it could it be next year or we've heard rumors about ramping up production let's say there's talk here about maybe 2018 for the iphone here it makes sense to start something like this on a larger device basically because with the fabrication you can only fold these so far something pocket-sized might be putting a little too much stress on these flexible oled panels here tablet size even though it's all kind of intuitive larger my make this easier to work with cuz you're not dealing with such tight tolerances and small angles things are bending around so maybe an 11 inch bubble tab that could help introduce this something like that old I think Michael you had something about this recently that Sony dual screen oh the tablet t yeah if there was like that but without one hangs in the middle if it was a screen that stretched across cross both sides that might be how we first see this tech emerge commercially at least yeah yeah yeah if there's any demand for that I mean I thought the same thing about curb screens on phones that it looks really neat I don't know how many people are going to ask for this but we're not going to know until they finally release it so bring it on I say I agree and I think that we should prepare ourselves for uh maybe somewhat unimpressive display performance on these foldable things because even with the first gen G flex which only had I forgot what the exact radius curve was on that but even with its very minor curve that the P OLED panel that they built for that thing had some serious compromises in terms of quality how was the screen quality your get to handle the the samsung one now the round the galaxy round yeah I've never even seen one or her so like I got at a trade show not like in the hands of a colleague I've never laid eyes on a galaxy round that's an Amador phone or old head of Internet oh yeah also the Commodore phone has yet to arrive apparently people are getting out they're not getting it so yeah so I bitch they're out there somewhere they're really great job at responding to requests not just for comment but like a customer request and like hey I spent three hundred seven dollars with you guys do you want to tell me where my phone is you don't even want to this is where we hit the button for the cricket sound effects cook yeah right where was that mmm wish Commodore head out your startup sound that we could if we just got home of the CRT monitor Oh riots riots is what we mean yeah I that's how I feel mad as hell let's get our minds off of that and learn something from Joe Levi this normally would be a segment called learn something and we'd normally have a sound drop for that and Joe Levi would normally be here but we can none of that is happening so I just want to tell you that he wrote a sweet piece called nexus quick charging explained because I've been curious when we get our Nexus phones I'm like how fast are they gonna charge what is this USB type-c thing is it what's the deal with reason and i are playing peanuts yeah so in and how fast will the charge and what are the differences and and by the way what does everyone else using for their quick charging stuff so Joe rut wrote a really nice piece talking about the differences between Qualcomm quick charge the USB type-c stuff opposed vo sync charging oppo and talking about the different the different currents and voltages and power and it's just terrific you should listen to it yeah I didn't realize how many different standards were in play here this is like the wired equivalent of early days of wireless charging here where yeah if you have this up became with your phone you're in good shape but got it if you have multiple devices you're juggling here multiple adapters it's enough to drive you crazy btdubs I've been trying to determine a new way of a new unboxing strategy because i have um let me count them one two three four five six seven eight and I I have an access of 13 uh wireless chargers and it is not just just like aggregation over time I have these all for a very specific purpose i'm going to be doing this massive wireless charging video yeah but is it gonna be like a sign pic mean angle yeah i'm just kind of a stack of them they're all gonna be charging each other and they're gonna burst into flames yes but i'm having a difficult time getting an angle for this i don't want to be like you know the best and the worst of wireless charging in 2015 because that's so longer so um I also want to just like showcase I'll just want a nerd out with them so i might periscope it when i get some time which will not be soon but i'm letting everyone know if you have wireless charging pitches send to me if there are things you want to know I even have a table like everyone else is already reviewed of a key a thing well no it's that it's from phone salesman phone with an F uh they have they have a tape they sent me a table it's like an end table it's with a circular top and it's got it's like two feet high and it's got wireless charging bills and I just dropped my phone on top of just charge its I like it very much we find one of those people who think that like they're being poisoned by electromagnetic radiation and walk them through your room full of wireless chargers and see what happens I'm gonna be fine just see what happens get it yeah we can do that right there Jules is reminding me of the alchy thing which is was the most beautiful wireless charger I had used up to that point the alkyl una but it broke like two days after our last video featuring out so sad face but it what's looks like a an onyx plate propped up on up stand it was beautiful sister circular thing crowdfunding opens four blocks this is a modular smart the modular SmartWatch is here modular something had to finally happen we were holding our breath for our I never popped up yeah the RI proud project ara from google a which has been delayed 08 modular smartphone but this modular watch this is your chance he's a curious and interesting thing they are on Kickstarter right now they are beyond their goal by quite a bit of thing that goes 250,000 or like almost 800,000 yeah I talked about this like an hour after the the funding opened and they've already passed the goal by then yeah fast yeah it'd be people are you know people find this to be a compelling idea and I get it if you watch their video you understand why they do a very good job pitching the use cases of this of this kind of thing where it's like you're going through your life and you're climbing a rock face and your smart watches like boom low batteries like no problem let me reach into my Scottevest it's just kidding it's not a video let me reach into my backpack and pull out what looks like a just little ol watch link but it's actually a spare battery or like I'm at home and I don't want to carry my big ass iphone six-plus around let me drop that on the table and pop this other special link into my watch and it's a cellular radio so now my watch is a phone watch voice control stuff extra battery stuff Bluetooth Wi-Fi radios body management stuff like you know heart rate sensors and stuff there's developer modules you build anything out of this thing it looks like yeah there's a bunch that it's originally launching with so you back this you can just get the regular watch with a plain old dumb strap but what's the point of that for a little more you get your choice of up to four links i think from the available ones more of them becoming in a future they have some ideas of ones that are going to be out maybe around the time thing actually ships and it's all open source standards so third-party developers are welcome to design their own hardware modules here in theory there's a lot of potential here I'm curious to see how well it works I think it's limited a little by the physicality of it like it show you can go with three links if you want but then the watch is smaller so your wrist size sort of controls the amount of functionality you get and then I don't have to be swapping out ones for other ones like it might have to trade your fingerprint scanner for the extra battery when you need more more charge they're so curious to see how well it works in practice but it's a really interesting concept it is I think a big challenge here is the is the look because when you're building these links when you're making components out of these links you need a minimum of space for pretty much anything you want to do so the links are really big and the way they come together is you know it's logical they come together in a band there's only so many ways you can make a circle with rectangular links but it does look pretty chunky to me and I think that's going to be a challenge for for adoption but it's apparently yeah apparently this is what i love about Kickstarter and crowdfunding in general you can see the consumer interest the direct consumer interest in a product right away before it's even built like there are three times as many people as they need to be interested in this thing interested in this thing so I think that's fantastic like we always talked about how like everyone's always talking about how like so mobile technologies dead looks plateau the smart phones tablets are going away and all those it's like no they don't really enjoy enough yeah happening it is it is pretty badass you asked me on the flip side of the coin teenagers don't care about the Apple watch and this is concerning but they do care about the iphone which and I'm we heard a report probably three years ago by now that thought that the youths were getting disenfranchised with Apple it wasn't cool anymore well I did not hear that lately I did not read that report I did not see it I remember we talked to it yeah while they they seem to like the iphone just fine this was interesting it showed that over the past year or so interest in smartwatches in general has been going up but in the Apple watch particular has been going down right but but I don't know though I only watch has sort of gone up there's necessary there's necessarily at at odds aren't those at odds though because I feel like interest in the Apple watch is interest in smart watches and generally the Apple watch is easily the most visible SmartWatch so maybe I this intersection is as they as more people more teens actually pick up a SmartWatch maybe the sort of realizing this for one reason or another isn't giving me the functionality I was looking for or the you know the trade-offs aren't worth the compound's out of the benefits well so they're getting exposure and then that's in turn causing their interest to drop off now let's see what it is maybe now yeah let's talk this time with the numbers here this is um mainly the discouraging figure is in the intent to buy figure where the Apple watch has fifty five percent market share among early SmartWatch adopters according to this report alas intent to buy has plummeted from sixteen percent last fall to eleven percent in the spring and only eight percent now now that's interesting to me I do wonder it what about the timing of this report i wonder if intent by is falling because people are because we're going into the holidays when people do not have intent the teenagers tend to buy themselves anything because yeah that's dumb i wonder if there's like there should be a metric that's like you know desire to receive as gift mmm but i don't know maybe it is possible that i'm not interpreting that data correctly and i'm just an ugly up alive there's no would buy a SmartWatch period and then we see this break i mean says he has 55 percentage but i'm curious if it general trend from smart walk interest has been in line with apples interest yeah i'm now i'm not entirely sure and i mean i think even if you don't care about the apple watch as like does the most insufferable of our of our commenters and incessantly remind us that the apple watch along with all apple products are garbage in that we're we're paid to make them sound good um good care about the apple watch if you care about smart watches because the apple watch the success or failure of the apple watch will will definitely affect the rest of the SmartWatch market to put it lightly yeah and if you don't care about smart watches well that's fine hopefully you skipped ahead in your podcast streaming app if you're watching us live you just stuck here man the same this ain't life is strange you can bet it relate time by the way my room it's been playing life is strange and on the steam and it's like one of the best games I've ever seen in this in the most interesting way possible like it's not it's not like a follower of money as anything katamari to have me it's better it's better than we golf I will tell you that oh now follow us on Twitter ask me is like right after I tweeted about life is strange if I have any love for something like Call of Duty or something like that I'm like this is as far away from anything like that as possible and it's really great that gaming is such a broad category that I do you have time for gaming Michael I don't have time to watch other people game while I edit video oh yeah hey let's talk about my favorite smartphone the blackberry prev I do not understand how BlackBerry's releasing this thing i would do I don't you understand it they make something beautiful and they were they put it out to the masses and people throw money are we never gonna get a launch event is what I'm curious yeah I get this ether yeah we were making this and now it's kind of here and I guess you guys could order it but if you want to I mean no big deal but there's been no promotional campaign no launch event nothing they are low key on this and I know because I keep I keep bugging them repeatedly this is a hands-on video Jules LOL at the name yeah if you don't live in the UK the name the brand name carphone warehouse is just sounds like an artifact from 1989 radioshack ad yeah but it is a massive brand in in Europe I don't know if it's confined to the UK I don't think of this but they it's a big retailer that carries smartphones and gets them so in some cases before anybody big deal it's not making stuff up it has these numbers data here that says the brib bubble november six it's going to be delivered like deliveries can be expected november six which is crazy nan upon a super fast we had the opportunity to get some specs confirmed we've kind of talked with this before but five point four inch display it is quad HD my 40 ppi the selfie cam is 2 megapixel mm-hmm and they've got that 18 megapixel schneider kreuznach cruz knock gesundheit i gotta learn this that's like that so I don't sound like I Klingon but yeah that like there's there's some great stuff here really slick video it's like only 50 seconds long on carphone warehouse's site where they've basically unbox the thing and and shown you what's what uh interesting we had got some dimensions here nine point four millimeters thick I was under the impression it was going to be a little thinner than that I mean yeah it's got the slider McIntyre and we have a lot of forgiveness there for a thicker device but it seems like everyone who had handled this thing was really impressed by how thin it was and I guess for what it is that still might be true well let's think about it I mean the that is considerably thinner than admittedly thick phones like the Moto X pure or the One m9 which are sitting around the 10 or 11 millimeter market their thickest point in the center so just a nine point whatever 9.4 9.4 I mean that's that is considering it's a slider phone that's why yeah yeah yeah don't get me wrong I'm not throwing any shade at the other fruit here you give you a good number getting my heckles up hell are you talking about Steven now i'm gonna review this thing fairly i'm gonna try to review this thing fairly i have way too many phones in my queue to actually reviews we should by all rights be giving this to someone else on the team but no one I'm touching this phone first I want this so badly you're gonna lick it so no one else can have it yes it gonna be like the guy in the Volkswagen commercial going right somebody was asking about the river in the Q&A but it is not one of the questions I'm marked so we will move on the last story in the rundown um i really i like my headline better than news so i'm online last time on the internet last night i'm on the world wide web and I see somebody else run a story based on like an XDA thread or a reddit thread or something about showing this it's really cool thing showing this clear galaxy note5 back it is I mean what more do I need to say it is a perfectly transparent glass back on the note 5 it isn't fatty all them this stock back it's not even like a custom active device blew my mind a little crazy um so I'm like whoa that's oh my god do 19-9 done like 1999 2002 clear nextel i-95 day looks like an old a gameboy play it now clear edition yeah they're bright it which is what you said so I passed this onto jewels and like jewels you gotta run this this is gonna be so hot I'm so amped on this and Jules responds only two minutes like yeah I saw that and I really didn't want to run us it's so lame lame like wow wow so then he ran the story and then you ran the headline why is this pass a galaxy note5 marketing erratically what you are the worst kind of person no I find it awesome here's what you need to do if you want to do this apparently need to heat the thing up with a heat gun get use a powerful suction cup to pull the backup one say goodbye to your warranty oh yeah give mediately but you pulled a back plate off an apparently on the back side of the glass back plate is where all the color is Jules is highlighting something but because the resolution is so terrible on the stream I can't see what he's highlighting yeah there are better things you can do with the cover off than just voiding your warranty discover the device hack the thing even further make some bigger news than this I don't you you are you are a killjoy food attend of the kilchers it now this is awesome um but you use a razor blade to remove the color film from the inside of the glass and then you just put the glass back and you haven't changed anything about already there in your phone yeah right you could do this so there's a video um there's a video showing you how to do it I think it's awesome I can't wait till next week we see the videos everyone melting their note follow I know fantastic yeah this is going to be the new the new gate um but I would personally do this on a galaxy s6 edge plus I think because I think that lends itself more to but you either way you can see the metal frame on the inside the battery and the everyone's making the jokes I comments no no you can see the better you can't remove her LOL hatin trying to catch me mod and dirty I think it's beautiful july three gorgeous to you cray i'll give you a pass a um it's about time for listening now before we get into that I want to get into them cues is have we had some more interest since earlier yes it's team and everyone's bothering you groans like Stephen shank do some work instead of sitting on your duck Eric Eric Eric hoots as whilst even review or share impressions of his next phone we would all like to see more reviews from him that's a good question um I can almost guarantee my next phone will not be a phone that's just launching I need to wait and see what the response is like not just from my peers but from the users in general um I would not expect to be at the bleeding edge of the curve so maybe like an impressions thing might be appropriate but I you know while I was shopping for with my mom's phone I had to play with a lot of them than thingy print scanners and all the phones there yeah and got to admit I've been a doubting Thomas of sorts for the fingerprint scanners in general I'm sort of coming around to them so I'm thinking a little about the nexus 5x again I'm not going to get this until we start seeing some reviews ah but it's possible I might be persuaded so we should have more storage and expandability and all sorts of other things that are important to me but I think I could live with it I still love my Nexus 5 it's not it's not doing me wrong just yet but it's getting a little long in the tooth so I'm looking around there i'm playing the feel do you think that i'll use this to jump to another Q&A question do you think this phone might be something that's up your alley as HTC is struggling to make a profit for a couple years now says nikita van Styron do you feel the rumored a 9 is a desperate measure to attract some media attention for copying the iphone 6s or six how lucky wants people to call it out for copying it just so we can get a little press so it's a good some visibility I don't know about that well first I want to ask you would you consider that would you consider the a9 basically based on what I've seen it's not high-end enough I mean considering the frequency at which I upgrade I want something that's going to be good to three years from now so probably not Jules brings up the design share agreement HTC and Apple enjoy which I do not know enough about at this point this might be a good opportunity for a PSA and no we've reported on before but Jules maybe we want to refresh everybody's memory about what that agreement is maybe you can wait we promise not to sue each other agreement yeah exactly right between HTC and Apple particularly with elements concerning design i believe which is why HTC is it may be the reason that HTC is doing it this way by all accounts unless we're being fooled and all these are fakes and the arrow looks nothing like this but I don't think that's going to be the case so Jules read it up I'd like to know more it would be great I think my mom made some comment that the s6 look like the iPhone oh it does I mean I there six looks a lot like the iPhone se but we'll see so Nikki I don't know i don't think that HTC if if this a9 design is final i don't think the HTC is doing it to attract media attention for copying the iphone but if i'm at HTC and I've just built the m9 and watched it basically fall on its face and watched Samsung not hit its targets but sell a whole lot of copies of the galaxy s6 which looks a lot like an iPhone maybe I build an iphone yeah we read the writing on the wall yeah so hey good commentary from glad i bought at the verge this week about that very thing which Julius was referencing to always good columns from Vlad why is Pablo Maldonado why is the blu studio energy to a budget device and it can fit five thousand million power battery and still have a somewhat slim profile but we can't see it on a flagship Steven vs. don't we could manufacturers clearly don't seem to think that there is enough demand for this device if they could make a phone like that and it would sell like a galaxy s6 they would these companies aren't stupid but I guess they've done market analysis it says that yep there are people out there by yourself Pablo who we really like a phone like this I guess the priority even if it only adds like half a millimeter I'm sure they've had focus groups handle these phones this feels better I'd rather buy this and the numbers play out how they do someone just blew my face off in the chat Kenneth Escalona asks if microsoft released continuum for lumia 950 or XL will we ever see xbox phone an Xbox phone with continuum but made for gaming and would you buy one that's a great question I don't think we will because I think gaming is so intensely demanding on hardware that it would be really tough to build a phone that could handle that considering it you know with the idea that it's gonna be on a big ol screen oh you disagree you don't think that it would be impossible I think that the phone hardware it tends to be closer to the the edge of development than console hardware could you have to plan console hardware so far out right the time you get it it's already tending to be a little bit below the curve and whereas they get a turnaround time on phones is so fast but like a console is like half a microwave oven like in size that's what it takes to run a game to run a really really well it is your take apart nintendo 64 the circuit boards like that big it's nothing it's a Nintendo 60 no okay if one make an appointment they make these things bigger so they look more impressive than the circuits inside they're not so big say Jules makes the point that Tegra needs to get on it with their hundred ninety-six say that reminds me a lot of what Nvidia is doing with its shield stuff you play you can like stream the pc game to the well it's like the opposite then i guess to the shield whatever the new account consoles called now she'll handheld something like that I don't know yeah I I would love to see it i think it's a i think it's a very cool idea i think that would be a really interesting you know but what I think the problem though is that mobile operating systems I mean Android especially are not super Optima is tour for gaming but it's not a mobile OS it's Windows 10 this windows 10 mobile but it's Windows 10 you know I'm saying but Stephen just see but suddenly stephen has gone Wow now I'm in a room by myself it's okay while Stephen figures out his technical issues assuming he does we're gonna answer a couple more Q&A and i moved to listener mail Jonas come out when are you getting a Lumia for review Jonas I don't know selecting question please wait okay there we go uh I don't know and I'm not lying to you um Stevens back Google did not like what I was saying it aside I need to be authenticate isn't that the most hilarious thing Google does this too by the way you it's just we're gonna hate on google for 25 seconds it's so funny it's it like the you'll be in the middle of a hangout or in the middle of anything often though happened in the middle of a google doc I'll be typing and everything collapses every Google's have my browser like reloads is like you need to be authentic you right this second and it happens in android too i'll be in the middle of using like Evernote and then the apple crash I think it crashes on like what are you doing and then I see in the notification bar it's like oh I'm updating Evernote right now you you decided to update when I was a bar doing any work it's the funniest thing but anyway uh love you goog just Jake hey anyway um what the hell are we talking about oh yeah Jonas oh you're getting a Lumia for review we don't know yet but we really want one and we also want those fancy leatherbacks to check out as well oh yeah those guys I was gonna write about those they just went up for pre-order but the site craft and I couldn't verify the link but apparently they're out there yeah I'm definitely going to need one of those two to get to make my 950 look nice so the butchery brings me into Eric recruits other question Michael with William with Williams windows mobile been shaping up nicely do you plan to use the new leu me as one of your daily phones and position camera should make its spiritual successor every 10-20 you like so much yeah well the world has changed i wouldn't i don't i would probably buy it with the camera in mind but now that it's not impossible to get a good camera experience on android that's less of a thing for me um whew what a thing yeah but I but actually despite that yes i think i will carry at windows 10 mobile phone is my second hand held because I've been doing welding Android for a bit just of necessity and I don't like it the reason part of the reason I carry two phones is to have two different platforms to enjoy the differences between them and keep a pace captain same phones exactly it's not a captain dupe phone so yeah it will I will get one of them I don't know which it will be but I'm gonna get either the 950 or the XL to carry in my other pouch and I've been using the 930 with the newest version of Windows 10 that Windows 10 insider preview and it's starting to look really pretty that new one where you had to back up to 8.1 first to install it I didn't know um yeah but I I'm not on a new new one I'm on a new ish one you know it's fine I actually don't want to be used in the insider previews anymore I want to come at it fresh when they actually hit the market but uh yeah I'm excited for it I actually am now excited for it I was worried because it was so ugly in the first insider builds and even though I said it so many times back then I was like listen I know it's a preview build but man it was ugly and a mess and and gross Jules has a project Phi invite he might or might not use as well I do too Jules had just got mine are you gonna use yours I don't think so I want to very badly would save me some money but it the way it ruins google voice will make it so make it impractical for me right as i need you google voice for stuff like this for what we're just talking right now with windows phone like I need to be able to just like forward my number joint text to a different number that's not an android phone and I really don't wanna be stuck in hangouts for all of my messaging which completa find makes you do hangouts is just not very good do you guys think that will see the Moto X play unlocked in the US or did the droid maxx to prevent that from happening nada my gut says no but I don't miss a turtle yeah i think verizon wrangled that exclusive yeah but who knows i mean i think you'd you'd probably have to be there to find out and who knows if we'll be there or not listener mail I am faith it's time for listener yeah being that ticket Steven I've been talking for too long what do you want to read the first email from Ronnie if you will ani yeah we want to hear from Ronnie these were numbered first usually means mm-hmm didn't I put him in the I put oh well whatever what do you want for it Ronan not fun he writes it oh hey guys my name is Ronan I have the HTC One m8 but I want to upgrade my phone before Christmas I've been watching the windows event and I really like the Lumia 950 you're not alone I've had a windows phone before so I'm not a noob here but do you guys think app developers are gonna start actually making apps for Windows Phone now it's time to go back and give a platform another chance love the show keep up the good work ah this kind of reminds me what you were talking about on the last podcast Michael you're referring to the new direction for windows mobile seems to be a lot more business oriented and auras the enterprise scale yeah that's going to affect the attractiveness of the platform to developers I mean we've seen sort of like a slow peeling off of people who maybe once released like upwards no bank of america or was it chase or whomever well they have their Windows Phone apps and then they gave them a shot and then those went away there's sort of business idea that these companies who are dropping app support we're doing sonor to devote resources to Windows 10 Universal apps that will work across form factors here that may play a role in bringing more back to the table here but if it's going to really encourage a lot of new developer interest that haven't already been working on the platform I don't know what do you think I think that air each every time Windows Phone sees a generational like reinvention we sort of always say the same thing like this is going to be at this is going to be the time that Windows Phone apps are going to catch on but this time is significantly different because you're not writing a Windows Phone app you're writing a Windows 10 mm goes yeah and that means it will it will work on a surface it'll work on a dell laptop it'll work on your phone it'll just scale differently I think that's a much more compelling proposition to devs I'm not a developer I'm not an expert in developer relations so maybe i'm just drinking the Microsoft kool-aid and vomiting it back up I don't know but someone should tell me if I am but it seems to me that it's a more compelling pitch if I were a dev I would think that I would make more money that way so and we've already seen commitments from at the microsoft event they called out facebook is building special Windows 10 apps for facebook instagram and facebook Messenger that's great finally yeah and so yeah you know I think that I think there's promise but I also there's also this thing of this thing that's constantly being teased of being able to run iOS and Android apps on windows 10 only hinge means you can run it on windows 10 mobile as well really lightweight wrappers right right but that splintered experience a is not very good as we learn from blackberry and be dis incentivizes developers to build special windows 10 versions if people are just going to be using their iOS and Android versions hmm and then it introduces another level of weirdness because i know i quoted this before and I know people don't give a crap about ingress except for me but it's a really good example his ingress was a made by google by a division of google and if you tried to run ingress in the special blackberry version of android and they're like sandbox whatever it was alright ingress would detect that as an invalid install and it would not let you run it and it would disable your ingress like player account you'd have to write them for support because they're you and a hanger about that yeah so that's the kind of thing this is the problem when you like hack around problems hack around issues like that so we have to wait to learn more as the short answer yeah I'm excited I'm I'm still guys I'm still I'm not know like I'm there's no bread box mmm bigger than a bread box I'm I'm more bullish on windows from than I was last week may be bullish bearish days i right I'm not sure but I don't want to I I'm not trying to come across like a poser here I really still think the 950 950 XL or are stopgaps and I'm much more excited for the surface phone but it's what we're getting it's what we're getting right now they have some pretty cool specs and those backs will make them much more attractive than the stock backs which look like crap so bitter did it don't do what's the next piece of listener Malcolm boom boom well I guess we're going Bell next either way here we got a message here from Linus asking us about the gear fit Oh blast from the past minus right is my first time writing in with a burning curiosity for our thoughts was browsing pocket now and it ran across an old article about that very year fit it was a breath of fresh air and wearable design pen was it with a beautiful curve display in a small footprint but we haven't seen samsung or anyone else follow up with something similar Microsoft notwithstanding their but that's more Fitness band and SmartWatch maybe I still love the fits design and do you think the markets ready for is replacing its stagnating circular displays with some more premium motif like this is there hope for a fit two point oh when did the fit come out that launched around the time of the galaxy gear too yeah I don't know Jules makes a good point i don't think the round design is stagnating I don't think it's like I think the band played out Michael everyone's doing it yeah success is old yeah no I think triangular to be around for long time I've wanted a triangular when I was talking about that reason on a friggin weird one maybe I'll get a blocks and maybe blocks will offer a track okay for me mom you hold your breath for that sure well don't worry i want to say by the way can I pimp my son watch to review real quick because nobody seems to care I spent a lot of time on that hey guys I made a zen watch to review and I got excited because it's Android wear priced the way Android wear should be priced which is like 150 bucks instead of 3 i've heard the tag however you pronounce that Apple watch room in charge eighteen thousand dollars for watches yeah I i do believe we're in a bubble when it comes to smart watches and I really think that it soon maybe not so shun but soon ish and they're gonna realize that you know I'm not gonna sell a lot of these things at three hundred dollars or four hundred dollars or whatevers maybe I'm wrong I know but what's the question we're answering oh the gear fit yeah that wing which is cool is anything the gear fit was like was a little ampule of technology that was like curved and description wrapped around your wrist and it was it was small and cool and because it didn't have as many sensors as the band it could do it in a much they could do the fitness band thing in a much like smaller form factor but the screen was so striking and beautiful and curved and and bright and because it's samsung and they know panels and yeah great but nobody bought it I don't I wouldn't count it as a smart walk necessarily know and this is where you have to like this is where we have to reach your consensus as to what's a smart fitness bandit what's a SmartWatch know that if it was not a smart watch but I used it as a SmartWatch because even though I took it out on that kayak for that video which was fun it wasn't like I suited for the type of fitness that I liked but I just wanted a wearable that was a smart watch but wasn't a big ol honkin thing like the gear the gears it was at the time I think what we need to see is some standardized like Android wear level support for more exotic strings like this I mean yeah we have square they got circular nailed if there were some extinction that could allow existing software to work on these more wider aspect ratio displays that would open up the room for developers to release lots of models similar to the gear fit offering more modern functionality but I don't know there's any effort to do that that would be super exciting and we know that Android wear is going to be making some big changes we're seeing these speakers pop up in every nuance that is currently unused but the manufacturers definitely know what what the time is what the score was what's happening but yeah i miss the gear fit too and i would like to see that form factor again I don't miss having to pair it to a galaxy device I don't miss that I think Samsung's learned it's lesson there if there ever is a new gear fit I feel like it'll go in direction of the s2 oh and speaking of which Jules is doing our review of the s2 and I'm really excited to see that BTW dozen he's been reviewing that for the past couple days um and finally we have a listener mail from ya pairing the s2 to another phone was nightmarish he says so teaser for the review my my name is Brian I've just recently discovered your awesome podcast thanks Brian and I was wondering how I can watch it live oh right alright so here's the thing i'm currently on windows phone now have a computer don't obviously can't get hangouts this is a chin like this also i was wondering if you have a Windows Store app I searched and you found all kinds of results but weren't sure if any of them were actually yours thanks French you guys are the best Brian thank you we don't have an official app in the Windows Store or any store by the way and there's no official pocketnow app but there are some really good third party ones that we can't advocate because they might be full of stuff that steals your data I don't know but we don't have the time or the resources to build an app of our own set lovely mobile website actually we do have the resources to build an app of our own and our mobile website is um yeah uh it's not so lovely it's gonna get better pretty soon by the way pretty soon but we recommend using your browser to to get to our mobile site and enjoy that and with regard to the podcast I'm afraid that that is the only option for you as well if you want to watch it live we are a youtube hosted show of nurses like it on YouTube and you can you can watch it on YouTube when when it goes live from Windows Phone absolutely rely on you to you Ken you there's a plug-in and like it shows up as the embed if you if you go to the ok you of the podcast you can watch alive I don't imagine that performance is very good I think you can even watch it in a youtube app on Windows Phone like Metro tube maybe though i don't know maybe they don't support live streaming I'm not sure kintel has been a while since I've since I've used my windows phone for such purposes so my recommendation would be to do the browser for now and we also have some changes coming up to the site that'll maybe change some of this stuff so forgive me for being non-committal I just wanted to thank you for watching the show and listening but doing so on Windows Phone that's pretty cool if you ask me guys you look like you said year of your fill their Michael I pretty much have ya it's tough to do I mean we gotta go hmm a lot of how we have to go oh yeah can't wait a sec on the fence but now's now yeah geez or just your jewels are ready to get out of here I'm just um from one final final qmm from from Kenneth escalona I follow up question with regard to the Xbox phone is that there's a special tie in with Intel for the next windows phone which means it is possible to run games my idea specifically is for mmos like League of Legends hearthstone CSG Oh go I don't know MTG right etc counter-strike don't matter strike dawn civ golf golf offensive yeah yeah and then again heard hey come on the n-gage and engage QD from nokia was an addiction even with a boring symbian OS and windows is a million times better than symbian yeah do you never know xbox mobile phone right but those were tacos were like we're talking all right it is a very different engineering challenge to build a gaming handset that runs titles on the handset only or to build a phone that is it a smartphone a fully functional art phone oh and also if you want to play games on a massive screen through hdmi with controller peripherals and stuff like that like yeah that's different sony make a new xperia play i will buy that from you yeah yeah i don't know if i would or not but you know we will see if the quantum yeah and outrun i just i love these Q&A so i never want to stop but we will stop in a second ronan japan iphone 6 plus user here yeah well just went away uh that question is it before i think we was saying uh is there a way to show answered questions yes there is oh sweet that's great getting more and more on android from all android wear around what do you guys recommend okay wait a minute what was the question aight iphone 6 feet certainly iphone 6 plus user here getting more and more on android from all android wear around what do you guys recommend Ronan I do not understand the question but I'm going to take a guess that you're asking if we recommend an Android wear watch to pair with the iphone ah between me yet my answer is no I don't terrible experience that you can't do like half of what you can do with it when it's perdu an android phone it the only thing it does better in my opinion is that when the when an Android wear watches pair to the iphone and it disconnects spontaneously which all Android wear watches do it because why not there is an automatic card that pops up that you can tap to wreak to force a reconnect on the iphone and for some reason that doesn't exist on the android on android so so you know if you want to experience android wear the way it should be experienced get an android phone if you want to stand the iphone i think the pebbles a better choice oh and the apple watch also oh yeah oh that bless us might watch yeah I'd love to keep answering these but we do have to go Speed podcast so I think we did it I think we did it and I want to thank you Steven for being with me I want to thank everyone for joining us and we were a little late for the ramp up there we had a really low number at the beginning of the show but you guys showed up and and
