and in full effect excellent well I'm glad that we are both nice and tan and it looks like we are on air hello everyone and welcome to episode 002 of the pocket now you review the hangout series from pocket minimal where we let you the listeners viewers and readers pocket now ask us questions and give us your opinion about the hottest and newest devices on the market today's device the Sony Xperia tablet Z alongside because there hasn't been all that much interest in the review on this one we'll get to that in a second alongside the Nokia Lumia 928 welcome aboard and I'm Michael Fisher editorial director of pocket now the room is filling up and if you're coming into the room just now I will ask you to please mute your mic on the way in just like we do in the pocket now live and I am joined today by multimedia manager Jaime Rivera I'm a welcome aboard good afternoon and good morning to certain people and as Taylor said he had coffee last time I have water this time you have water as well alright so I have a giant bucket of dunkin donuts as usual actually this is number three today I should please explain to me why why is your devotion to dunkin donuts coffee I i will explain you at first i have to tell you that normally the bottom of a cup of ice to dunkin honors coffees about that much like sugar yeah and there's none in this one so it's very very bitter dunkin donuts is a big boston thing it's a national chain but in boston is just like huge for some reason so starbucks isn't that big of it uh starbucks is huge is huge but not in boston um i mean it is huge in but it's not as big as Dunkin Donuts so anyway that's the deal will while we while we wait for the for the room tube to fill here I want to make clear now Jaime you were talking about something earlier you you have not reviewed the either of these devices you haven't even had hands-on time of them is that right I did with with the tablet Z with the template see okay minor very minor Lee and it at a store here were they when they announced it here hmm what were your impressions I love the tablet honestly you know I you know if I would if I had any fran for big android tablets i love that tablet myself my problem is that I'm you know if you if you want an android tablet the smartest thing to do is to get a nexus 7 because applications still don't scale well to the larger tablet you know form factor so it's always an exercise in frustration it's like china clay Spotify or trying to use the Facebook app it's like terrible on oh yeah it's really great my favorite part about it is firing up Spotify and a 10 inch android tablet and watching it rotate into portrait and they split itself at all exactly so you know the problem is not really the tablets how much beautiful the problem is using it yeah I'm using it for the usual things that you would use a tablet which is not necessarily what the manufacturer intends you to do with the built-in applications you want to do more with it right and I do wonder actually a little bit about it how much of that is affecting the response here because we tend to meet her everyone we tend to meet her a review not just based on analytics because we don't always happen two pocket knives analytics for too busy but you can kind of easily get a barometer reading on how popular pieces by how many comments it's generating I may you know something about this you get about 400 comments a piece because you're always during the S up somehow and you know but but the thing is that with the Xperia tablet Z review and the Z is here for everybody just joining us and right here star of the show for today uh disease comment count is so low it just seems to be so much so little interest in it which is a shame because it is such an unbelievably thin and and really quite beautiful tablet so we're going to get to talking about it we've got a little bit of a room load here we got some familiar faces some new faces I love the mix so let's get started how might you haven't been on the show before since this is the first time you're joining us we'll break down the format for you and for anybody new to the you review this is how we do it we're going to every viewer that we select is going to have a five minutes to ask us questions about either of these devices the Xperia tablet Z or the Nokia Lumia 928 please have specific questions have specific observations we want to keep the discussion confined to these devices otherwise it's just another episode of the pocket now live and while that's fun we already do that once a week so please keep that lens in mind and for this particular one we're going to be asking folks a couple folks to stick around the end of the show we're going to steal an idea from the pocket not weekly and maybe do a little two-minute debate corner if time allows sound good to you hymen that's perfect sounds awesome well I will ask you as I think I asked taylor an episode 12 dutifully please select our first guest for episode two okay we are going to select mr. Verdi earnest haven't met you before we're all right okay maybe I 30 yes you've a familiar face I think we have you been on that life before or no no this is my first time so oh well welcome in that case i'm sorry i miss misidentified you welcome to the you review yeah thank you uh I won't talk about the xperia z tablet yes right here um i have the ipad mini okay and and do it it works good for me but i'm thinking is it as light as the ipad mini or is the ipad mini lighter so how many how many grams is the ipad mini can we look that up real quick okay vacations focus on your side and I look for them thank you so what I've been telling people Freddie first of all where you got where you calling from from the Netherlands from the Netherlands okay nice i like we should have like a like a little pimp push pins for where people call in from i I've been talking about this tablet as though the way people have been the way i've been explaining it to people is that it's like a nexus 7 yes at 10 inches like it's that portable this Way's 495 grams yeah okay so i've had many as three hundred and twelve grams for the 4g LTE variant okay so this is like what more than more than twenty-five percent heavier than the ipad mini which i'm not surprised at because the ipad mini I've handled in and it feels like almost like a dummy tablet to me yes so yeah it's like until you something I mean I it's not that I measured them it's just when I held the tablet Z and then the demo that I saw it that the launch here um it was I felt that just this thin I mean what is the thickness do you have number because it's a yeah it's six point nine millimeters on the okay so here's the thing the iPad Mini is 7.2 millimeters so the iPad Mini is actually thicker thicker than this and exactly yeah it was so much fun to film this Ferdie because I mean like you know you can find different angles to do it from and it just it looks impossible i think sony has a little image up where they put a pencil up next to it you know to answer your question like when you read in bed you know when you do this thing and you're like you hold it up like this the it is so easy to do and it's so easy just to hold with one hand while you're typing on it the portability of this besides the water resistant nature is the best aspect of it in my opinion yes you did the review on the Xperia Z tablet and what I thought was it was funny when you lifted the ipad and i had i had the problem with the ipad me i had held it on above my head when I was sleeping almost and then I dropped it but I have glasses so I broke my glasses I've never you broke your glasses with the matter these are new pairs of oh man I thought that was only you know because I have the big one I recited the big ipad 3rd generation and man that thing as heavy as anything but yeah broke your glasses with the mini man I'm sorry to hear that Graham yeah yeah hazard maybe a welding mask for for using a tablet yeah do you have any any any other questions on that on the tablet II know about the about the 928 yes awesome some leaks about the nokia e use what would you think would be better than 928 or the eros compare just just the phone so we were talking about this on the weekly today we recorded the pocket night weekly podcast earlier today and we were discussing that very thing now this is the the Nokia Lumia 928 now it's white and so the camera is going to have like a harder time with it but you can see the Xenon flash there yes yeah but also you can see this lens module is the same exact one we're familiar with from the 920 it actually I believe it is hardware identical so the EOS if it lives up to the promises if it lives up to the leaks we're probably going to be seeing a very substantial increase in quality all around we hope so i think you know they're not going to be in the same class I don't think yeah because you here in turn about the 808 PureView and he loves the phone but it's a brick I mean it's it's thick and you see have you seen the latest leaks of the of the ears yeah it has a big camel hump on the back around camera home but yeah it doesn't look appealing it looks a little bit ugly like how do you say The Hunchback of nuts without it you know it does i mean it's it's going to be an acquired taste i as i said on the on the podcast today I don't know I'm gonna ask jaime for his opinion on it too just to get him talking for a second like I think it is so ugly it's beautiful if that makes any sense I think it has that really disgusting that appealing disgusting factor I mean what do you think about it you know probably my biggest question is do you think that that hump is a replaceable cap oh dude hahaha a replaceable lands on a smartphone camera that would no i don't i don't think that but that would be amazing i mean that's the design looks I don't know the design right maybe you can change the colors of the cab maybe yeah now I was debating you know yesterday when I was preparing the script for parking out daily I was like man this thing looks so fake and then it looks so real at the same time it depends on which photo you look at so the thing about the EO says I feel that at the beginning it's gonna be a niche product just because it you know it brings something to the table that's revolutionary but a lot of people value thin and light a lot of people value Portability and so I don't think it's gonna be easily adopted at the beginning until nokia probably figures out a way to scale down but you know it's gonna be a good it's gonna be a good proof of concept it's gonna be like the Galaxy Note well and for all speaking speaking of which I'm pick them taking notes on the on the note I'm Tim keeping score on the nose exactly I wouldn't bother galaxy note of the beginning they're like what that gonna use this i mean what i was talking the size so you know and then it found quite a quite a niche for itself and so uh do you now that the 928 though is is just you know pretty the easiest way i can describe it is that it is it is just a squared off 920 with some differentiators that are not great in particular these you know these these buttons here which you can't see because very crappy webkinz are no longer ceramic there are you know plastic so before we let you go for di want to ask because we forgot to do this until the end of the show last time would you just in a general sense would you give the Xperia tablet Z a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down definitely thumbs up because it's a real thing tablet and I would like to get my hands on one too hopefully it's nothing stores yet in Indonesian so the Xperia Z is but i have an iphone 5 with with a wide angle lens so yeah ok let me invade you within much this really nice with the cover let me invade you with a question because I've seen those lens covers all around is the photo quality dramatically improved that alone when you look in the middle of the photo it's really sharp like the normal lens itself but every lens when you put on a lens it's going to be a little bit difficult but the sides there a softer mmhmm yeah I want to me that the middle is sharper than the center weighted yeah its centre metered let me ask you before I get off the scorecard here because we do if we move on the Lumia 928 thumbs up thumbs down middle middle middle middle area all right I will let you do metal it will do the score while I love is the official storage phone but it is a good phone but how they say it's it's not as different as the 920 I understand I you know and I feel the same way I said as much in the review and I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way Ferdie thank you so much for joining us and thanks for being our first guest on episode to thank you it was a pleasure it was the first time so I'm a little bit excited so thank you I we're a lot excited thank you seriously it was it was great to have you on and hopefully we'll see on a future one love yoga every pocket no host guy who works there so I love your reviews and keep all good thank you thank you sir sorry you know one thing that you that you said on the review that was like striking for me was the design of that 928 being so it fixes the problem of the 920 because it's a much thinner and lighter device so I I don't know how how have you felt so far after using it compared to your experience with a 920 you know it's funny uh my girlfriend prefers the 928 like crazy style wise aesthetically and I get it and I can appreciate a squared off rounded design but it's different a squared off non rounded design but the thing is yes it's a little bit lighter it's almost indiscernibly lighter though and the sacrifices you make are in the in the back cover here which once again here's my crappy webcam but you can't really see this this uh speaker grill you know which I would let sheep it does it looks cheaper it feels cheaper um it doesn't feel I'm not gonna say it feels cheap I'm gonna say it feels cheaper than the 920 and that's a step backward I would prefer they not have taken yeah thatthat's figure rose very badly design it's like a big blow on the face to the 920 which we had them very smartly place right along the edge here exact that was much smarter I should have the 920 in the booth and I don't I want to get to because he was here I think it was our first guest today I want to I want to ask Kevin yen to turn on his microphone and say hello Kevin guinea wrath yes he can but we can hear you've got a mute button in the upper right of your screen if you would toggle that off and no lo dice no dice Kevin uh stick around yeah yeah somebody somebody's very helpfully turning this week is it's a red button in the upper right hand side of your screen can you turn that off going one yeah going are having some technical problems at Kevin stick around a gentleman at the left yeah yeah when you figure that out when you figure that out please unmute yourself and say hello but in the interim let's say hello to the helpful Zach slam messing I'm got that kinda right that's the worst mispronunciation I've ever heard it schmoozing well there is there oh there's an I yes there's a dot over there if you listen to talking at weekly i mispronounced names all the time the top yeah I I have all the episodes on my I my trusted all ipod nano right here we'd oh it's good to have a dedicated listener Thank You Zach welcome to the you review thank you um this is my first time being on any of these live hangout so I'm really excited that's awesome I do you're our second number one number one guest in the in a row thank you all right were you were you calling from um I'm calling from Folsom California it's near Sacramento nice outstanding i was in sacramento last year for my brother's wedding I likes nice place but is hot in the summer it is hot in the summer what's hot in Boston in the summer too probably not as how does it gets out there under only five degrees under yeah I think you gotta speed you got a speedo hi may may have us both feet high me how does it get down there in the summer 110-120 sometimes that's what a lot yeah and I'm talking 1 100 at 7am yeah that's gross that's when you go running to know I go running it fine because of that no yeah I follow you on Instagram and I see you're all your post about the running Jaime oh nice thank you I'm it does take some pretty good running shots exactly are you are you calling in about the the Xperia tablet Z the Lumia 928 or both um a little bit of both I think first um what is it much of an upgrade I've got my iPad jus right here is it too much is it much of not greater sure to just keep with this until they stop supporting it so we just know I'm gonna ask him his opinion on this too but we just aired a ipad vs galaxy if I've had Versailles but Xperia tablet Z ok so but you the ipad 2 so you have the lighter but older one yeah it is like is slightly thinner and lighter which makes it helpful yeah now i don't i know our own go ahead I'm it's not only thinner and lighter the weight distribution of the ipad 2 yes but for me the iPad 3 was a desperate move into just bumping you know just raising the bar for competition but the ipad 2 seems to be like something that was well thought out its thinnest i padded thinnest ipad it's thinner than the three than the four and then the one and it's not thinner than the meaning no no it's not thinner than the minute now it means a movie it's not that in the mini but but still I think that you know the problem with the ipad 2 is that your resale values at the floor right now if you yeah that's what I'm just keeping it yeah if you try to sell it right now you'll definitely get more money now than later on ebay and probably use that money to buy another tablet but other than that I mean it's a good tablet it's it's it's a trustee tablet it's a workhorse I I feel that it's a good product so far yeah I mean don't you feel like now would be the best time for Zach to to like to actually unload the ipad 2 on someone else because I feel like WWDC even if it doesn't have a tab on announcements probably won't it's still gonna affect the resale value of it somewhat am I totally off base there was this thing wrong exact the problem is is its launch another sorry you can finish okay fine i was gonna say this thing will probably support iOS 7 if that comes out at WWDC because odds are still selling it right now and then Rock'em come out with a new ipad most likely right oh um thing is I OS 7 there's different degrees of support right especially when you talk about Apple like I mean my initial iPad I remember like to two generations in or it was the ipod touch actually and all of a sudden I I'm running the latest software and every app is crashing all the time and this is why I don't pay crashes on here yet it's still pretty good that's your advantage your advantage is that you're holding an ipad mini with a larger size basically yes they're gonna continue supporting the ipad 2 for a while um the thing is this if you try to sell that tablet right now and no tablet gets announced at WWDC you're gonna have to buy an old a current generation ipad because you just don't want to be left out without a tablet ya know i would recommend for you to wait for it to be announced and most likely Apple usually announces something right now and then gives you you know usually 10 to 15 days for them to actually start three orders of the plot the next product that they do announce it so most likely you know here you know June tenth that's when the event happens watch it if you see that thing announced a new tablet then put that thing on sale then also how much sure is good to go ahead although I have a question for you when you're finished okay how much lighter is the tablet Z then the ipad 2 so what's the what's the weight on the ipad too high man Oh get that to you right now hold on 13.3 three pounds for the Wi-Fi model and what is that in grams I mammogram I'm am a stinker I have no idea we try to get you I think they're gonna be pretty comparable to be honest with you cuz this is 495 grams which is somewhere on rid of uh oh hey it's half a kilo that's like 1.2 pounds so that is 607 grams 607 grams for the ipad 2 okay yeah okay so this is substantially lighter and like I was doing before I mean you can it is so easy to prop it up thusly and n-type like this I could do this all day long so you're gonna get a little bit of a you know a weight bonus on this that's what you have the smart cover for tybee yeah if you want to prop it up but I don't know I do a lot of this kind of stuff I do a lot of one-handed use a lot a lot you know what I mean but what about knows like what I mean are you like a it with the water resistance of this tablet offer any love that i mean i play Angry Birds in the hot tub okay no no no but you're you're absolutely right so so the question for you is going to be is going to be do those do those advantages of water resistance and lighter weight overcome the deficiencies of the android tablet app ecosystem which as you know is less robust yeah god I've got this rooted Kindle Fire here with apps is basically a nexus 7 except it doesn't have a camera has a dual core processor at one point two gigahertz and it only has half a gig of ram but anyway I have noticed there's not that much app support here sorry my phone ringing oh no problem no problem no that's uh you know you're right i mean the apps are the there there are hundreds of thousands of them but the problem is that they don't scale well to the larger display and listen yeah I didn't know but you know we may see we may see that problem correct itself as as Google puts a lot more effort into correcting it but as of now you're still not be suffering with that if you go to the tablet Z now yes remix what does that happen one question what's the PPI on that tablet Z 0 264 or 229 that's like twice what this is yeah that's twice yeah it's out now another question how are the viewing angles because my xperia ZL is a huge disappointment right so we were looking at this in at mwc and it's it once again it's very tough to illustrate with my webcam but you can actually see it's actually not too difficult to illustrate you can see how quickly it falls off as you as you get away from center of course you can double tap to bring it back which is a which is a very nice touch but that it that is somewhat exaggerated i have found I found that on a video camera this polarization effect is much more pronounced in real life you can still watch you know a movie from the side like this it's it is significantly dimmer but it's still clear so I think it's a little out of proportion and so no Sony's Mobile BRAVIA Engine really helps to to comfort that here's the demonstration with the ipad 2 it's really pretty darn good viewing angles them had a reflection in my face and like you know that's that's especially interesting considering that's not a laminated display you know that's that's like what a half a millimeter under the glass there so when I be yeah so when Apple brings that that surface laminated display technology to to the next generation hopefully that's only going to improve though that yeah that's it no one looking Michael about that you know the tablet Z I'm truck the problem with the xperia phone lineup is really that colors wash out when you look at a man do you have that problem or colors remain accurate colors don't don't stay accurate but they don't wash out to the grade agree that the phones do and I do wonder how much that screen protector has to do with it that kind of means i took the screen protector off and then I wasn't that bad for scratching the screen protector being off good question scratch it no no scratches at all I mean you get yeah I'm sure that you can I'm just oh I'm sure that you can easily the other problem is it seems that the adhesive doesn't completely get removed from the display so it's very easy to smudge this display in comparison to any other display that I'm yeah exactly I do want to say what sorry dude sorry I'm just keeping an eye on the clock there is no sort of coating on this phone and you know I remove it just to make to see if it was a screen protector issue and no it's a display problem Zack I know that I know we didn't get a chance to talk much about the 928 we do have to move on a little bit i want to ask you before before I ask you if you have any more questions the Xperia tablet Z and your opinion thumbs up thumbs down thumbs up two thumbs up that's a really good tablet I've seen your videos about it you're not well one thing is I'm pretty impressed on how quickly you can churn out those videos what was it like a week that's when you're unboxing your review and yeah yeah and you know um a large part of that zach is we have we have up we have a large support system here at paga Knox we were all able to help each other out and it's it's very nice to have that to lean on so yeah it's off running a small tech thing as you see my logo right there its president oh gee Zack I wish I'd seen that as we started off of course I we talk all the time on Twitter it's good to meet you in person well oh yeah good anyway yeah I've been talking with you leave I'll often anyway um I'll see if I can maybe join the pocket now line if i can tomorrow that would be yeah please do please do i won't be there because i'm gonna be doing some something else but you but join and as they we always have a blast on there so Zack thank you very much for joining us and really really appreciate your input can I give a shout-out for my own website honey I wish I wish that you would as a matter of fact I've been forgetting to ask people to do that please where can people find you on the Internet ok my twitter my personal twitter is xeeshan easy schm eez

summer basically what anyway thanks for having me hey that's that's awesome keep at it everybody visit table top tech if you get a chance i will take a spin by there as soon as we're done with the your review thanks again Zack why don't you thanks so much okay bye-bye that was fun alright so we got we're keeping the scorecard around we're remembering at least once in a while to tell people to share where they can be found on the internet so that's a good thing and it looks like Kevin may have solved his audio problem i am i guessing that right yeah yes outside on switched on to my phone Oh the problem was on it was on a computer was it ah well uh we're glad the mobile devices have have come to the rescue Kevin where you're calling from and welcome to you review i'm calling from Oklahoma Oh what part of Oklahoma game um around Oklahoma City Central I'm glad you uh I'm glad your your house is still standing I presume yeah it was around 2530 minutes away ah ah well yeah I was actually around like two weeks of constant storms yeah and Aaron's going on yeah for those who have not watched the news in the past month Oklahoma has just been getting destroyed by tornadoes so really glad that that Kevin you're still with us and I've got a I've got a college buddy in Oklahoma but anyway we're uh we're talking talking mobile devices and your seem to still be with you are you calling it about the Xperia tablet Z or the Lumia 928 on the tablet Z 0 seems like a really good tablet I've been keeping up with it when it first sight was introduced I'm glad I could see a review from you guys cuz I love your YouTube channel on the website well it's awesome to know that someone is uh is watching the watching the reviews and particularly reading the review on the tablet Z as we open up the show we told you that the comment traffic on that has been a little bit low but what are you considering buying the tablet Z do you have a question we didn't cover in the review is there something i would get a miller android tablet like i have the motorola xoom still i my my my family um they have the ipad like the ipad 3rd generation and i have an android tablet okay say are you the are you that you're the contrarian in the family then yeah good for you yeah i thought i still had this thing here here it is i mean i was gonna ask if you still have the zoom wow wow can we do it on the air on the air thickness comparison right now yeah yeah alright Zane seriously oh the zoom how is it working for you Kevin is it is it something mattered right I use it sometimes but not that much anymore like I used to before I got a high-end smartphone what is your hands much fun well I'm you have an s3 right now I'm planning on getting the one soon 9s spoke great devices that's that's awesome so I in terms of that though which one you're buying first you're gonna be big or tablet shopping first because I feel like I feel like this has got to be ranking somewhere in your consideration if you already have an android tablet right yeah yeah since I already have a pretty like pretty high-end smartphone even for a year old I think I'll go of the tablet z yeah now it what I mean is there is there competition are you considering other devices and what can we tell you about the z that uh that you don't know already yeah like uh like tablet wise i'm interested in like um getting a nexus 7 or 10 or waiting for like a new one if it does come out soon like in the fall yeah we're good now Jaime we've been talking about that as i recall we had some some discussion on the the new Nexus 7 class product didn't we yeah yeah it's kind of it's kind of a tough call right now I don't you know I you know the tablet Z comes out you know the tablet Z would have come out a couple of months earlier it would have had a better head start some people are waiting you know nothing was released at Google i/o and I think that a lot of people have been having second thoughts about the tablet Z because they thought that they would see another nexus in Google i/o so I don't know it's it's it's kind of a tough call i feel that the tablet z is a product that could stand on its own meaning that you aren't buying a good product if you're interested in an Android tablet when compared to a nexus you know it's not like if you're getting a better product with the Nexus just because it's a nexus product i think that the tablets he has a lot of things that are that are great like the waterproof like the waterproof system to get display etc etc so i don't know it's a tough call to know if you should wait for nexus 7 if it could be until the fall until we get that product you should wear and you know and what we're talking nexus stuff is important to note that the the tablet z supports the the AOSP a sony has added it to the android open source project so you know it's it's only a matter of time as i understand things i'm not a routing guy but as I understand things it's only a matter time we're going to see a really solid stock Android build on this tablet if you don't like Sony's skin already you know and so many skin imparts a little bit of lag and I understand why you would want to run a google edition you know stock build of Android but you know if that is your if the if that is your direction if that's what you want and you want to a very very thin very portable tablet that I was also waterproof as long as you're okay with charging it once every day or so or once every day and a half you know you should really be considering it because the battery is quite small yeah so is the battery like all night just normal use yeah so the battery you know what did i do i did the weekend test with like light to moderate use for you yeah I did browsing at night during the day or resume I could use that lightly and I even though it's pretty old now like lightly I can still last like two days or a little bit more you know what the power rating on that battery is I don't remember likes it was a pretty big one for you hon hai Medina it's been a while ah yeah I don't know it's uh oh you were typing I was like wet it was audios driving up yeah no I mean here's the thing you know it's so very difficult to say it's also difficult for me to focus because i keep getting like are you getting that audio sound what is that stupid audio cue mean i had i think it's it's the hangouts thing it's it's really dumb i believe that it's it's got like seven thousand milliamp hours combined in the tool in the two cells that it has what on the zoom yeah really so that's only beating this by a thousand milliamp hours but Kevin you say that you can it'll last you like you might use like just browsing have a couple yeah you're growing a much the resolution on the displace much much it's much lower yeah yeah and what kind of processors are running on again oh god it was a dual core yeah it's good this tool car it's not the s4 pro z will get more processor for Android I'm just trying to remember right so all that kind of stuff it's all right it doesn't matter what it is so yeah these are the differences you're working with the thing is I'm not trying to gain say that the endurance on the Xperia tablet Z it lasts very long for a spin a tablet it is it's just not like something like it's not nowhere near some like the iPad of the ipad 2 or what's an or the nexus 10 which has like a 9000 milliamp hour battery and also dual core processor but it has a display but the tenor last long time this won't last quite as long so it's something to think that too I want to prompt you for some final thoughts Kevin before I take you have anything else no that was a sec so that was a Tegra 2 there was a Tegra 2 in the zoom on the zoom yeah that was a Tegra 2 Wow well I Kevin you're probably going to be the most qualified person to ask as far as scoring goes because you're actually in the market right now for the Xperia tablet Z if you had to say yes or no to

you alright see ya bye bye hi may I believe it has come time for you to select the next guest right now in case anyone is wondering about halfway through the show we're working with three thumbs ups for the Xperia tablet Z no thumbs downs the Lumia 928 has only one middle of the hand thumb fascinating good I've obviously met hi Otto in the past in the past hangouts I just wondered man are you running out of fuel in that car engine turns off engine turn a/c cranking all right now let's let's get you out of there ah all right then that I missing doing the Hangout his works been getting away I was just gonna ask that now hi Otto is that a welcome to the you review by the way is that a tmobile shirt you have honors that's something else because he looks like you're on lunch break from t-mobile right now yes I am yes oh that is awesome I'm a good choice i'm glad we got iata on before his lunch break is fired how is very briefly how is life in in the mobile retail world since I left it five years ago they're good it's um we get a lot of new phones lately and I think we've been another one here soon least a couple so yes bad Nicholas hi Otto has the distinction viewers of beating us to the punch on the blackberry q10 because because it works for you mobile so congratulations on that I love the photo you posted earlier this week thank you you know I guess hey I'm actually uh I've never been a fan of physical keyboards um or blackberry for that matter but I I do like the q10 I am I wouldn't you I'm hoping that you get to spend some extended time with her because I would like to hear your thoughts on that I want to I want to keep us on track because I have to be a martinet here because I am so easily distracted uh hi May why don't you uh why don't you ask our friend I ought to weather is here for the phone or the tablet yeah it's a good question i mean you your in T bowl so that's that's kind of a tough question i mean what are you are you considering any of the either products the tablet Z or the Lumia 928 you know um and what we're getting the experience Z phone here soon oh are you guys gonna get the tablet I thought I saw some rumor that the tablet Z with t-mobile LTE bands had maybe landed I haven't I haven't heard about the tablet coming at mobile but I mean I figure the phone pretty much the same more or less right and I question is are you interested in the tablet does it call your eye or with me I right now I don't remember I have that nexus 10 actually uh you're rocking within the nexus 10 there so the thicker front firing speakers equipped Google sourced tablet is that that's not what you're calling it from right now right you're you're from a phone right now yeah I'm just calling on my one yeah wow yeah there's that wide angle camera lens yeah I understand so like I I thought the other day I was like well t-mobile LTE bands if this thing had a cellular radio in it it would be even more attractive to me because of its extreme portability now I've handled the nexus 10 i love the stick back i love that it's it's thick and you know it's kind of substantial i love that almost 10,000 milliamp hour battery but this this calls to me are you a portability guy either like i mean you'd you need to be able to move around very quickly with something like this where you can just kind of throw it around like a frisbee or do you not care about that no I definitely like that I mean that that's actually why I've been considering I've had many over my Nexus and um that that and uh you know then android tablets just don't have a good ecosystem perhaps yeah ought to say I mean that that's an interesting ditch moving from a nexus 10 to an ipad mini you've got such a beautiful resolution display on the Nexus 10 and then nothing escapes me really it's like what people are complaining all the time it's like oh man this is the best display on a tablet but it's pointless if everything looks choppy on it right axel but it and I do want to make the point that it is not it is not necessarily pointless if you're willing to make that sacrifice and you have a big investment in Google's ecosystem because Google's native apps tend to look quite good for the most part on Android tablets and also the content consumption you know Netflix is Netflix no matter what you're running it on I mean like that's awesome amazon it has a great version for everything so if you're not you know if you're not jumping into a smartphone version of twitter all the time if you're not jumping into spotify all the time well that's that's a big downside right so yeah it's it's it's a compromise as always would you add to a few carried this thing would you would you consider buying it as an employee or as a customer uh you know what yeah I mean I the experience at Lizzie has excuse me has a lot of things that I really like about it I mean like like you said it's light and portable and I definitely like that and I'm a big fan of the fact that it's waterproof come because Aussie I tend to attend a listen to the out weekly well I'm taking a shower before work don't we all welcome welcome to the welcome to the pocket now share all that's that's hilarious that's awesome so yeah now what one question hi Otto I mean just I held the Nexus the nexus 10 and I used it for a week um feel that the tablet is big and heavy I don't know what is it what it is about the build in this tablet but it feels light because of the plastic specifically so do you really feel that you would change that nexus 10 for a tablet Z I'm not sure that I would that I would trade it for of the tablet Z I might just because of the water resistance and that's that's a huge plus sign to me because I'm always uh you know I I like your own brown liquid yeah I don't always feel liquids on my tablets but I mean you know it I would rather have the the protection in case I do that's that's how I feel and even if I think I would feel that way even if I didn't spend a lot of the time on the on the water iata we've got it we've got to move on I'm sorry I've got to keep a pretty tight schedule here but I want to ask and I think I know the answer but I really want to ask tablet Z from you thumbs up thumbs down I give a thumbs up um nice yeah i mean i've seen clash about the laagi software but i'm sure you could avoid that with with either a custom rom or just not using sony widgets so i'd give it up that's exactly right now we'll look forward to hearing if if t-mobile carries it and what your how your opinions change or become reinforced once you get a demo unit in your hands but in the interim I think this is the first time I this is certainly the first time I the you review it might be a first time for the live unless you've done this before for someone's joined us from a car which is awesome thank you please join us from the bathroom that's good I was just gonna say i was just gonna say never never join us from the bathroom never join us from the shower but you know enjoy your showers all the same yeah probable personal but about the car that this works I'm just really sweaty right now alright hopefully the malls are the stories air conditioning is still working well and we'll see on the next one yeah yeah um I'm looking forward to getting the 925 also in t-mobile cuz I figure that's probably the very similar to the 928 so yeah with you no problem yeah but will remember the 925 has that as an extra sixth element in the camera it lacks the the Xenon flash of the 928 and hopefully you know I really hope that the compromises the 928 has made are not mirrored exactly in the 925 because this this between the speaker the voice quality a time just like it's not a bad phone but it's not as good as the 920 in those respects all right so i have to thank you very much well good job thanks all right you find me on twitter at dredge dro a GE or uh just you can see my website droid in mobile com but i haven't really touched that about a month so I mean get some month all articles that's it sounds good man well we'll see on the next one and uh and thank you for joining us take care all right thanks nice see ya well I am a question for you I mean I have the impression that you're the guy that would never touch the flash on a camera if you didn't have to yeah yeah you're absolutely not flash a big plus for you on the Lumia 928 so it's not a big plus it's not a big plus for me but that is because frankly I'm not really skilled enough to use it i'll see if i can fire off the the Xenon flash here now if you're skilled or if you're even just marginally capable BAM there that goes um you can use the flesh to great effect in night scenes by you know but you to illuminate your your foreground subject while keeping the background exposed at nice levels using I think it's night portrait is the mode but at tonys really good at it on the 808 but the thing is there's a great example when you're in ultra low light like I closed the door here in the booth and it was basically pitch dark and I challenged the Nokia Lumia 920 to a flash shot and that LED spotlight while powerful was not powerful enough to give the camera enough time to get focused before it snapped the shot so the result was a very blurry shot and the 928 snapped it very clearly Oh interesting yeah so there's that advantage and there are others that frankly are beyond me because if I if you're carrying a Lumia product if say what you will about windows about nokia about whatever i cannot find a better low-light performer in smartphones than these devices with using standard settings including the HTC One so I rarely have used for the flash so I think the Xenon flash is a bit of a I don't want to say it you're right it's nice to have it's nice to have if you're more capable than I am at shooting smartphones we do you ever use the flash uh well on the iphone 5 you can get some really good shots at night with the flash I don't know why it is but really if you have the flat so usually i'm not a flash type of guy i really don't like to use it but at night it feels like if you're using a point and shoot the resulting photos feel like a point shoot mmm i don't know why but it just balances the color really well with the flash and I think that's mostly the problem with usually with smartphones they they don't know how to really handle the flash to balance everything out and I feel that the iphone is the one that dunce does it best but obviously I haven't really seen the 928 you know in the type of action that I've used the iphone fire for right yeah and you know i mean the 928 I've been poking around with and taking some shots and I hope uh let me ask it it folks who are joining us who are still in the ribbon down below if you've got a question or a comment about the 928 we've been talking a lot about the Sony Xperia tablet Z if you've got a question or comment about the 928 you want to dress make make yourself visible will you raise your hand will you dance around or do something Aereo and 0 karthik i think is car pick is a big lumia guy yeah yeah oh very nice is that a 920 or 909 20 nice i just couldn't see it i was very very brief he should see this one one sec see what you got no check this play oh geez ouch how that happened farthing well I was jogging and I want to see how much I how much distance I could I covered I took it out and it fell flat on top have to display on on the app but it'll tell you how you're going i was using runtastic and i had to see how many mind says whatever uh did you are there any nokia what do they call them nokia care points in your room will give it replacing myself because i had an xperia x10 which is completely gone but I tried Xperia mean I literally experimented I was able to remove the glass front facing class so I bought a replacement I'm gonna do that myself hopefully it will work out wow I was taking a piss play on that phone is not easy no yeah hopefully the guy it's the first portion of the phone that you pull out that's the cool thing the suction yeah we were so worried you just attach a suction cup to the to the disco and you're gonna use a hairdryer of something to hear I it but that's yes the first portion that comes out you pull out the SIM tray and then after you pull out the SIM tray you you pry it from the from the edges and then you pull it out with suction cup I feel like I feel like somebody's telling me about their trip to the dentist like this just hurts no oh well that's that's awesome Carly good are you uh are you guys gonna see the 928 over the I don't think so right this is still gonna be a verizon exclusive for a while yeah yeah but the question I had was you use both of them right you you've been using 920 for a while yeah and n 20 you just took it whatever but what do you think the form factor is because i love the form factor of 9 20 the way it fits in the hand here and 928 it's little more square I actually make a difference yes it does yeah I mean have you seen the every singer comparison the 920 versus not here yeah so like it if if there were a list of things that were this device differed from the 920 that would the design would be at the top of it I mean this thing is so incredibly boxy in and of itself you put an X to the 920 and while it's not immediately apparent you get it in your hand and it's like wow you know how the 920 when you hold it like this that that corner yeah that in many flip you off Justin but yeah like the corner digs into your palm the 928 does it about three times worse it is just a device yeah it's on as well as the Lumia 900 I will say that the Lumia 900 is the one that gave me the blister yeah you really did this hey a buster yeah so um so yeah it is it is fundamentally different and and this the nokia smile is completely gone yeah that's what I hate yeah I'm dad it's a lot i do too frankly i think that was one thing now we can't expect no cater just stand still we can't expect them not to evolve the design i get it but I don't know if boxy is is the way the way to go here a minute okay so it's all something Michael am I the only guy that actually likes that phone no no again that's what I was just let us say I want it I do like it I just don't like it as much as I like the 920 okay so do me a favor do me a favor where's your trash can it's right there you just throw it there and then you had a shipping label to address very soon you know it's funny I'm I owed my objection usually when I may ask me for a phone is to be like hi Mia won't work in your country don't worry about it I popped a AT&T sim Yanni it's unlocked yeah it's unlocked out of the box yeah all LTE phones from verizon by law have to be unlocked what they have real gsm capabilities you can make any verizon phone Lettie current verizon phone from this year from last year on yeah AT&T right yeah but I'm it you have to deal with that big ol verizon branding on the on the unit up the bride and we're ones up for hugs I've got this polished specific paint that I use for my car oh really oh you think I'll take it right off of there this is so car they just check out this top bezel I hate that I'm here today I known it on the 920 you know you've got that dub death you've got the bottom bezel but not that top one that forehead is just go on what is complaining about a top bezel this is the worst top bezel in history no bacon one that AT&T logo oh yeah seeing the AT&T logo is diminutive compared to the verizon check that's why i bought the replacement i bought one without it oh nice oh that is nice see I don't even III talked to nokia care us on Twitter recently about the dust in my 920 front facing camera and because we don't have any nokia care points in the US and they were like I gotta mail it to Fort Worth Texas and have it replaced funny that's the same way to ship HTC phones that's interesting ya think there's a lot of stuff I'm gonna I want to pay a visit to Fort Worth I'm right next to it are you even yeah because I'm from India yes but I'm doing my graduate studies here in ut you da oh really I mean Arlington actually right next to cover stadium Oh your flag through me I thought you were you were calling internationally oh no I'm sleeping at this time if I was in India I know well you know some people stay up late and they you know they hang out late with us Carly before we before we move on thank you for asking about the 928 first one more question though please hit me when you when you have 920 right if you shake it feels like there's something loose inside but there's nothing do you feel the same thing with the 928 now the 928 is is is solid in that respect and we have to give it its to perhaps there it is lighter it is a tad thinner but you know it's I never had that rattling problem with my 920 I don't think I mean some people like the battery was loose it wasn't the OIS module it was the best I I have two friends were the same 920 and they also have the same thing so I was like is there something wrong with the phone yeah I seem to recall that was some kind of batch issue with with a particular batch of Lumias I'm just talking out of my mom out here so I don't know i might be wrong on that but no the 928 that i have the demo unit here does not it is solid i mean you're you're hearing your hearing all the rattling there is and there's none so okay yeah trash can you should car thik thank you for coming on the air with us tell people where they can reach you and before you go your thumbs up or thumbs down Oh 928 all right thumbs up in some ways because of the weight otherwise I loved 920 design so it's I don't know or all maybe like this not completely but like sixty seventy percent somebody somebody beats you to the punch on the on the one middle thumb so okay then thumbs up I guess thumbs are worse because there are there on verizon and Xperia Z thumbs up because I have aces 101 with the first generation tablet oh very nice and as it what is that running for that too yeah it's hopeful for point-to-point oh yeah I was a clock widget is stock isn't yeah that's awesome huh because any time it has to be rooted anyway okay Karthik tell it could what is that does he spell it spell your Twitter handle for us because we're low res uh it's k udupa that's it it's awesome garlic thank you very much for joining us and we'll look forward to seeing you on the next one sure tomorrow awesome all right thank you very much thank you yeah man I would die if I would smash the display on a Lumia 920 Michael seriously seriously and you know what I mean I should have broken minor ready you know how many time I've dropped the 920 on its face and I don't mean like on carpet like in a parking lot on concrete and my 920 is still soldiering on so no way well just you know just cross your fingers because like the the the only crack display that I've ever had is the Galaxy Nexus and the reason why wait you have my other galaxy nexus of the reason why is because Brandon had already dropped it so much that whatever you chip the display even if it doesn't break immediately that second fall regardless of how big or small it is it'll crack it yes I did that on my fear you ever have that you ever have that situation where you your anybody and you guys know what I'm talking about where you've got the phone in your hand and you're doing whatever but your your trip or whatever for some reason the phone starts you start to lose it and you go for the grab to save it and what it ends up doing is like catapulting it into the stratosphere no tell me have you ever done this have you ever tried to save a phone by putting your foot between the you know between the phone and the floor and it ends up shipping all the way does it land on that angled top part of your foot is like Queen yeah yeah just completely strips that happens if I 1x you know who you know who you can't have a conversation with this about Tony Anton according to Anthony's never dropped a phone in his life anyway we were talking about it on the weekly today listen to it this morning let's talk to to another guest and let's see if let's see if if one has ever dropped a phone one welcome to the you review can you unmute your mic and say hello it's me yes yes welcome aboard are you refers to first of all next to speak to you and greetings from Dominican Republic yeah very nice to speak to you as well and greetings from the United States and I and I have to say that the reason that I listen to you guys is because you are multinational because it yeah because it when you listen to podcast you only you only listen to the American that the American situated right and with Jaime Jaime can tell you how this internet that America and the Tony they tell you how teens are in Europe for example here we don't have black berry spitting plans it's really hard get a nice phone yeah we got you leaving to 200 bucks and you got a really nice fun you know if I if I don't want I have to pay that I don't know like a thousand dollars exactly yeah yeah I want to go to galaxy s4 Oh cost you a thousand two hundred dollars yeah yeah yeah oh that is that is why I need you because you were a global know right now man you know that's that's awesome to hear of one because we don't you know it's very easy to forget that it really is i mean it's it's it's just uh it's it's so nice to hear that that people listen to us for for the fact that we have a pretty diverse team yeah yeah it's for anything my man weakly again is what you're saying hi Mei is overdue for a weekly laughs again ah well um what happened many question but I will tell you one um why I may I have an iPad to write and I have like um are we r & why buy android toggle head table when you can buy the new land windows phone table it's a whether I like that on the table tab there are like really computers for example I have an afternoon a new night Wayne and I have another noon got some windows from the iphone but I had yeah but why buy a table I have an iPad I don't use it I really for new for the newspaper in the morning but dice is that I use my computer and if I got a computer like for example the acer 3w that is high if we agree w right why buy an android tablet that you can only use angry if you can buy the real computer that you can use everything windows a full power it yeah you can no use photoshop but who will use photoshop in a table right so it's it's a good idea it's a good question to bring up in the context of the you review because we've got we have a really good example of an Android tablet here in the Xperia Z which compelling hardware that is running software that is not as capable in terms of raw power as something like Windows the answer for me one and I will I will just answer first and let hi may go for it is that is that yes running a mobile OS and a tablet form factor it is more limiting but sometimes that's all I need and I'm not willing to make the sacrifices that a I'm not always willing to make the sacrifices that are demanded by a more fully featured OS I don't want a fan in my tablet necessarily and I also don't want if I use like the HP Envy x2 which I was formerly in love with and now I am NOT you know I'm not willing to make the performance sacrifices that that the that they that it demands often so it you know it's a question of the right tool for the right job often for me hi Mei how would you answer the question I was going to ask you how much did that Envy x2 cost it was like 600 bucks or 500 bucks or something step but it's windows 8 right what was the processor on that thing it's the full version of Windows 8 and it's an atom processor I don't know the spec okay so here's the problem or a clever trailer yeah yeah what okay so if you can buy a surface pro answering your question one comes yeah and by a surface pro then it isn't worth it instead of buying a lesser tablet to go for a much more capable tablet because the surface pro is a more capable tablet yeah yeah the problem is that an intel atom tablet is not necessarily a more capable tablet it can run everything that when those times when those computers can run the question is how well can you run them I mean how well can it run photoshop for example yeah yeah but that is detecting my point I have a computer powerful computers esta come to the right so when I use a table I don't use photoshop i really don't use I use it for like everybody I everybody that has a table at Abba tape I don't know how to say that it's a tablet tablet everybody I have a tablet like I use in probably know you really prohibiting so besides i wish i did a sustained now there are creepy speakers you don't use it for music your home not to use headphones so you use it for like watching movies yeah m and reading the newspaper that in emails so you know i can perfectly do that in a windows 8 table i will not rule photoshop so i will not do anything hard-working so why so one I want to ask you if because it's because we are kind of keeping our focus on the devices that are in the title it do you have something specific that you have a question ask about about about this particular tablet the young another table I see the review is being it's waterproof is beautiful and but it's not compelling to you though yeah because i enjoy i like android but i won't then I will have to pay that no half a thousand donors for that for the table so this valley did you say like after that this would be how much would you tell this yeah you have it great you would pay eight hundred dollars here for that yeah i'll have to pay a hundred to a hundred dollars so for you guys it will be that cheaper but for me it's really expensive and i have to i have think well the iphone i I don't like the iphone I have all the iphones where I really don't like it right now but the iOS is like the most complete ecosystem so why why I'm commit myself to buy this real expensive device beautiful nevertheless but really expensive if I for less money can buy this one I know they will have all application we have all the game so yeah I don't know you're making a compelling point you're making a very very compelling point you know I think that the launch so you're saying that if Sony would come up with a bio tablet Z you know a full windows 8 vaio on the design of that experience a blitz Z that you would like it you would prefer i I don't know i don't think so because i don't know like it though so you're saying that you if it ran windows 8 that's what you're saying right you would love that beautiful design right I don't know because I it is a really good question because in my experience when I came home I don't I don't pick the table at the I would say a table a table it's all right I don't think I don't make it I think this is really bad I never end TV and watching movies over your English is nothing wrong with your Englishman it sounds great so are they all right and so when I came home I really don't use it I use my pc and I met you guys do the same like we know that needs to be the case for me I mean I used to be in the same boat and yeah when I still want to do something fast and efficiently then absolutely yes i will i will go for the for the macbook here but you know I i do use tablets for a lot of consumption these days especially tablets that are exceedingly portable and very lightweight and you know my ipad is more capable for a lot of the things i do then the tablet Z but I will still pick this and I'll suffer through it just because it is so so light now if it cost me eight hundred nine hundred dollars no no I would not do that and that is a situation at the American yeah and that's the thing I mean Juan Carlos and I live a specific issue so I I I went crazy with the nexus 7 came to market and the reason why is because man if somebody mugged me with this two-hundred-dollar tablet I would fine right you know I'd be like okay fine you know it's a two-hundred-dollar tablet like we say in Spanish me more but you know I I was carrying a nine hundred dollar ipad 3 the 64 gig LT variant so you know of course I wouldn't want to be mug with a nine hundred dollar I know that's the reason I feel that the tablet Z is a beautiful product yes i agree with one Carlos but the problem is that for the price tag it doesn't compare to the scale of an NB x2 that you have there and they're priced similarly I guess that's the point yeah and that is a real thing in America I have an iphone 4 when I buy it was like a thousand dollars I was afraid to get in industry I was afraid so you guys don't have that I don't know how to know how the planner they're good yes really expensive i will i don't know i will make the point here that that on the pocket now team the American pocket now a team most of us here are pretty fortunate to live in in cities where that's that's not necessarily a problem there's plenty of cities in America where you don't want to take anything out of the house so I you know America is a big place but I do want to say I do want to get to one more guest before we have to sign up so juan carlos i will ask you for your final thoughts if you have them or a final question final question yes night to any most beautiful phone ever made see the 1i have to see the one but i don't like the verizon I don't know it is i don't know from your wire I don't get and it is and it's what we were talking about just a second ago with it with the square design compared to the title i I don't I can you know it's it's it's definite it's interesting to see how much of a change it is because i think everyone most people agree that the 920's design is very appealing even if it is a bit heavy and this is it with the exception of some of the common design elements it's it's very very very different so really really quick everybody say everybody say is heavy but you know that when you grab the nights when you say this is well done everybody everybody everybody say oh it's too heavy when when you grab it to say like and stings I am so I don't know yeah the way I got it no different so one girl she would I'm hearing may be that you would not give what would be your thumbs up or thumbs down on the 928 it sounds like you're not too enthused about maybe 20 25 for the extra extra lens because time when you take a picture in the lights kind of like blurry right maybe that but I will wait for the maybe for me Windows Phone need to be quad-core and need to be needs to be ready because I will know by another windows phone with the one but if I had to pay a thousand dollars you bet I will I will not know why yeah what about the one comes what about the Xperia tablet Z the thumbs up or thumbs down don't stop it's really beautiful nice i wanna go thank you very much for joining it's great to to get a call from the Dominican Republic great to get somebody with some really strong opinions thank you for for joining us today yeah Thank You Ezra figure all right hi mate would you like the honor of choosing our last guest of the day okay Hendrick you've been ever since we started this call so I feel really bad having to go without talking to you how's everything can you hear yeah I can hear you okay um you know you are Hendrick welcoming other your review sorry sorry for the latency there yeah you know that's all it's funny that the only FC Barcelona fan of your team it's choosing yes if I am unique then oh okay then so it's a great team you've gotta get you've got a great new trainer now so that's that's that has a lot to do with it I hope so I hope so no but tell us what do you think about the tablet Z or the Lumia 928 which product do you want to talk about specifically and I'm not gonna disappoint you but I want to talk about the devisee okay toss no I nearly run two years by Android and iOS and this happened like four days ago no let me lock the camera on you there oh is it just one crack or is it various cracks it is like the you can see it it's very much wait let us know it looks like it's taking the film off the bezel there is that what's going on like it yeah what what's happened what's how is that it's an iPad second generation okay sadly it's it's more than one crack for those of you that don't know if you only have one crack on your iPad that's covered by your warranty it's a single line single hairline crack is covered you can just take the ipad to an apple store wherever and they'll give you a new one interesting that's good to know how many yeah i'm inside yeah i've already done like two swaps like that but man so sad that that's a really bad news so you're considering a tablet z now and no further i was in the bathroom and just watching some podcast and pick it up by the flip cover and it went down and straight on my bathtub and so are you are you shopping are you in the market for a for a tablet z are you are you're thinking about it what are your thought and I I need a tablet like when I go to sleep I need some music in the background or just listen to some podcasts and that's that's good with it added so I choose this body what do we got there that's a nexus 10 as net yeah it's a nexus 10 running trick droid the newest version and yeah I'm pretty much it's a fine tablet I thought about getting the Xperia Z but yeah the Tappan Zee I mean but the Xperia Z as a smartphone isn't good in my opinion now yeah what yeah the experience he is is not terribly compelling to me for a variety of reasons but the Xperia tablet Z is is more so and it kind of bears out how different these categories are right um well it all seems like if two different departments built these products like it like if it's not the same ability department that built either because there was a good product choices for the tablet Z and then again with the Xperia Z it's the complete opposite yeah but it isn't this is the display on the tablet Z like it's grayish also we were doing a little talking about that before the tablet Z has a display that I think performs better than the one on the Xperia Z smartphone and I'm going to see if I can get a just a nice white panel here for for Twitter and and do a little side so you can see if you know that brightness falls off pretty quickly but the clarity does not and you can see the colors look at this look at this this is black yeah and she's only logo and look at this yeah I'm gonna lock it on you in there feel wider and that is not so let me let me boot the tablet Z and I will I will compare that with you see that's the thing that turned us off about the tablet Z excuse me about the xperia z god these product names are confusing when we were at Jaime where was at CES Yesi yes yeah but the Z is not the tablet Z is not like that necessarily now I'm prompting it to boot right now and I'll do the same thing for you now that is without the screen protector is that right that is without the screen protector all right I meant take the lock off you analyzing economy months so check mark screen look at the lock screen buttons they're supposed to be just dimmed out bezels and as it turns out look at how whitish they become as you tell the display yeah I'm gonna run out I'm gonna run out of boot animation here so I have a look at the black now you that's perfect black nice now so they've really enric to answer your question they've really done a much nicer job with the display on this then on the the smartphone variant of the of the xperia c it looks that would be better than on the it is and you know i mean some of these colors you know unfortunately we're doing all this with with crappy webcams abut but you know some of these colors really just pop and of course you got fingerprints you got my big overhead light there in you really need to wipe the screen off about every five minutes but if you're willing to do that then these these colors really pop especially for an LCD so it sounds you know i want to say that it sounds like i'm often defending this product and then the full review of course I call out its multitude of failings I just think that it's it's so surprising to be able to generate a product like this that's so unbelievably thin that's so lightweight and it operates relatively well you know I think it serves laughing come on if it were my money right now if the nexus 7 wouldn't exist and i had to choose an android tablet for specific reasons that's the tablet that i would buy yeah you know and increasingly i'm feeling that way too and i don't want to give it away cuz it's gonna go to other team members to do comparisons and like no I don't want to want to do that hendrik it given the chance again you you seem very happy with your nexus 10 but knowing that the Xperia tablet Z supports AOSP etcetera etc would you would you consider this or what what would keep you from from getting at just a question I'm definitely against Sony I can't stand the firm the brand i use an xbox I used to have a PlayStation but i can't stand for sony what is like what is it about the brand what is it about the company that you don't that you don't like because i don't have much experience with them that sorry why are you from where are you from let's start with that I'm from Germany ok gotcha okay and yeah I'm like more like I used to have a samsung galaxy s3 and also this one correct so maybe it's bad luck and i bought this bother you oh yes nice nice i think that sounds like more of an of a user problem minute maybe maybe I'm what out before before we wrap it up with you and Rick what is it exactly about the about the sony brand that is that is unappealing to you is it just aesthetics is it a you don't like their design or what is it now these I don't have a dense that's great no it's a better good quality in the Nexus I'm sure but um it's a bit laggy i watch your reviews and also the ipad versus the fabbity review you uploaded today or yesterday and interfaces kind of laggy and with the nexus i get to do the android and exclude make upgrades it's right in time and that's that big point for me I like to root my phone and flesh new firmware like nearly every day and with the next end of my data to other from home sounds like you got a choice it's with sony products and sitter miss you know sometimes you get support sometimes you don't probably it's interesting because sony has such brand appeal in latin america i mean when if you if you walked into somebody's house you could determine if that person had or did not have money of their products or either made by sony or by lucky gold star which is now LG mmm interesting that that you don't have that same brand recognition because for me this product is that the ZL is disappointing because you know i use the Xperia S last year and this play was just gorgeous the camera the photos of the camera were gorgeous and then you come a year later with better design and lesser quality materials yes confusing right yeah but but you didn't have that problem with the tablet z Michael which is just interesting yes and which I'm pleased to see and somebody seems to be getting increasingly serious about mobile and we'll see what what else they do i will say that that today the tablet z has done fairly well on the you review hendrik i would like to get your score if you don't mind can you give us a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down overall on the tablet z I think you can guess it I love to have a good spectrum that's nice and we didn't have any flavor to our spectrum so far so thank you for your for your honest feedback and Hendrick tell people where they can find you on the internet if you like yeah they can find me on Twitter it's 80 + n es ch thank you very much and and really uh thank you very much for calling in all the way from from Germany and hopefully we'll see you on another episode yeah I love it thank you both thank you sir writer Jaime it sounds like it looks to me like we are button up against the clock and yeah we have to bail do you agree I do agree yes I do have to before we go and before we lose everybody in the in the bottom rim in there I want to thank you guys for old not I'm sorry we couldn't get to you this time around but i do want to announce also the scores which will be a surprise to positively no one starting with the Lumia 928 which was such a non focus of this episode that is relegated to the sidelines here's you that tell you something about Windows Phone no it's a verizon branded phone I may stop see we got this whole episode without you making a new enemies and now you're gonna ruin it now uh it we have we have a amusing once again the galaxy note 2 to keep score no it's not a sponsorship I'm just using it we have one thumbs up for the 928 one thumbs down 29 28 and one right middle of the road sort of tie so interesting not quite as interesting as the Xperia tablet Z which garnered six thumbs ups 2 1 thumbs down thank you everyone for your votes not surprised a little bit surprised though at the level of interest of this device if you haven't read our review please go read it leave a comment if you feel like it because no one else does I'm a closing thoughts before we get out of here uh so many needs to do much more of a brand question it's interesting that they used CES to launch the xperia touted the Xperia Z and ZL and still we don't see these products in the United States yet um so I feel that they they have a lot more work to do yes the tablet Z is a beautiful product but it's not heavily available in the market yet so there is a lot of work that Sony needs to do right now and as far as the Lumia 928 trashcan and shipping label please you You cheeky bastard all right man hey I'm a thank you for thank you for coasting today I really do appreciate it and
