tell us about you tell us about you how's uh I was at the monument of this place where there's this museum from through ye'll which is actually a restaurant yeah I was absolutely everywhere it's a very pretty country guys I recommend you go it's a beautiful place yes is it really nice especially something angle because it's they call it um the lungs of the country because it's mainly trees everywhere wherever you go there's trees gigantic trees yes very it's very colonial yeah it's really this better so tell us about your phone what device to use I have the HTC Sensation XL the reason why I decided to use my laptop instead of my phones because I'm just in case I wanted to show it no I've been happinesses lat december and i absolutely love it I mean I'm an Android girl i love HTC in a love Android just like joe i'm absolutely in love with the OS of android know and we like the fact that you like Andrew usually girls go for iphones all the time no not this one believed me not this one the smart ones no Android yes the only thing that have that is Apple are the new um earbuds oh I'm using those and I hate these things they always fall off my earring well you're obviously these fell of my ears all the time and these are regular HTC headphones that oh but you know those HTC headphones actually sound really good I think that out of all the headphones that I've ever received on a phone um they're the ones that sound the best and that are least intrusive I don't like any or headphones because for some reason they always block the end so so well i still i used to use skullcandy the ones that go in inside your ear but after a while I don't know it kind of bothered my like the way I was hearing stuff so I decided my friend told me which is an Android junkie so he told me you have to buy these trust me you're not gonna regret it in honestly I really like them they I've run with them and they don't follow up at all oh so you're into your into running 20 no yes nice accent how many moms me how many miles do you do a day or Kalama it's brimah it's bragging time for Jaime right yeah yeah I have just finally always having this nonsense order okay I'll let me do not subscribe to his facebook check that up okay let me be honest here I was I am actually still 28 pounds overweight um and so I I started having these medical conditions and what I used to do in high school was running so I had to get back into run but man it's taken me so long I mean and yeah the the years have a lot to do right Tony yeah I not getting any younger I started doing two miles for about a month and that and now I'm able to do up to six miles but it's taken me a while to get there so tell me about you well the way I run is this way I run on so I cannot breathe so I don't count miles or kilometers all right that's good that good you know that's actually the smartest way to run because you're last you don't feel the stress of the commitment that's great so the pressure well I also had to lose weight because my family runs um blood pressure and cholesterol and a whole bunch of other things and I had to drop I've dropped 32 pounds Wow congratulations man ain't you good for you good for you not now tell me what what tablet to use do you have any tablet no I don't have a talent I'm train took a guy that I get a you're you're not missing out on much but that tablet Z is actually very cool I mean Tony you saw it right now at Eva betos about it yeah it's michael michael was head over heels when he saw i can agree it is definitely a very nice design it is thin it is like my only concern the screen is excellent my only concern is the android ecosystem and the applications which are and are not at the same time present on android so that's about the only thing which is holding me back from choosing a android specific hardware because android tablets are good specifications are good it's the ecosystem which which gives me a couple of question marks yeah i'm actually getting the the the zoning xperia ZL for review next week so i'm at i really can't wait i mean i really like that design on CS when I saw it so I'm really looking forward to it but okay let's let's talk about what you know we're really here for we want to hear from what you think or from what you want on the galaxy s4 I mean what are your predictions for the galaxy s4 what do you want well honestly I don't I never thought they could come up with something better than they already have I've heard a whole bunch of you are rumors and stuff but I don't know it's a thing that I'd rather wait cuz I don't want to get all excited and hope for something and then not get it I think so far they have really good phones I wanted for them to jump from the polycarbonate plastic or whatever it is because I like what my phone is kind of heavy and I like phones that have some weight on them because I used to have a phone that was completely plastic and one day I usually keep it in my pocket one day I don't know what happened I lost it I loved that phone because you guys are still having like a light weight on your pocket then yeah when you don't feel you're like wait wait a minute and it's been hours since you lost your phone and forgot it somewhere I'd rather have my phones nice and heavy sad news as well come well it's been a pleasure meeting you guys do you have any questions for the nesa the nesa is actually my Twitter sweetheart she was a value make me a animated gif of me doing my dance oh man I want to see that how i well know danessa don't you dare retweet that no I'm not every Twitter he can go to lake twitter is like you can you can ask this face for the gift alright Venus I it's a real pleasure meeting you and you're really happy to have you here and I'm really happy to follow you on twitter so again a pleasure yeah well nice pleasure Tony you take it from here pleasure bye-bye vissa my uh no actually Joe's gonna take it from here because he's next and i will pick somebody after Joe and then it's up please be so kind and and the closest hang out so other people can join in your free slot so sweet to me that to pick the next person yes the pressure well I'm gonna get two birds with one stone oh yeah that's two people in one so welcome aboard go ahead is that is the way that is the way to have a hangout I am so envious and you know what is before I'm going to just famously drop in here and say that I am happy that now we have at least two ladies joining the Hangout actually never was the first and BB was the second one and I just hope many more tech girls will join us hang out and back feet Joe right and back to me so so let's turn the time over to you guys introduce what what devices we're gonna hear I assume two devices that you have where you're from and what your favorite smartphones houses what happens but not the entire team is on the Hangout they I think they presented their phones with the occasion of every hang out this ever he's got a 1 V with the chin and he's got a he's got I forgot your phone for guys or man i really i really like that one v that chin design was really cool and I'm sure you do too Joe I like chins I like curves my phones but but anyway what are you guys from we're here in Indy Indy Indianapolis yeah okay so from the United States not too far away for me i'm out in utah still it's it's raining today so all kinds of lovely did you happen to wash your car because i just watched my car the other day and they started boring the minute i came out of the car wash no no in fact i think this is just it was your rain that's finally made it around the world capitalize on that i should i hate it every time you wash her car tony it's always an issue golf isn't it you never wash your car every time you washes his car trains people should start bay me for to wash my car no in you type here we have another issue with with car washes most of us wash our cars more in the winter time than any other time simply because we've got we've got snow and salt on the roads oh true we wash the salt off rather than and washing the cars to make them look pretty high up told Evan I don't want to step on Joe staff but I have a personal preference since I know you both guys are Android guys and girls which one would you choose and this I would like an answer from both of you the HTC One or the galaxy s4 um I'm still waiting to see what happens with the s4 but I'm I'm pretty sold on the one for now and then follow-up question what the the s4 have to have in order for you to choose the s4 over the one uh well honestly I'm not um I've kind of become less of a spec person over time so I'm not I don't really care if it's got the octa-core the quad core or whatever but mmm i'd like to see some improvements in touch with I mean I I like TouchWiz to a point but there's a lot that I you know it it doesn't look very good to me and sometimes there's just some features that I wish they would leave stock I guess how do you how do you feel about the creepy features about the the the eye tracking and the double blinking and across I and everything the cross-eyed i wanna see ya you know doing it's just kind of a battery drain I'm not I'm not I never use like smart stay on my s3 when I had that or anything and he doesn't I pretty much have to say the same thing that he said there you don't really get a lot on the s4 right now so all we know is about the one and as you know I'm a fan of the build of HTC phones anyway yea though I would still probably stick with the one since I know about that right now aren't you concerned about the camera I mean 4 megapixels and I recently seen and shared with the with the guys on the team some sample images from the HTC One and and Maya those those were not the best pictures I've ever seen 4 megapixels is not what matters in a camera 4 megapixels is your size it's not your quality having the controls that you have like in my one I can control is 0 and white balance and all those things and as a photographer myself those are more important than the size of your pictures entirely like you're not blending up making huge brains out of your pictures no and as a professional photographer i'm generally got my big camera with me where I need a pic yeah yeah I think probably my biggest debate with the one i want the one i love that design um I it's just I I don't know it's why I loved we saw the photos with Tony this morning and they were not great and you know that's that's when it comes to the point where okay I want a great camera I don't want a great technology that doesn't really deliver that's my opinion sadly you know you know at times where you get you you have the gs3 which actually has some decent photos really good photos actually you have the iphone 5 which has some good photos I mean why is the one not on par I mean that's what we want and I wanted that with the 1x and it was sadly not on par with the rest of the phone set hey hi my check this out is a few on that's a tie game Gigantor victoire to miss okay whatever nobody's gonna beat this move over ultrapixels now we're going to have Gigantor pixels that is true now tell me what camera what's the big camera they use what's your favorite um i use a nikon 5100 and i have four lenses no nice and oh they're all good no i'm a poor guy i'm a poor guy i use a team i use a t3i that's actually what I use for parking out daily by the way okay market for a camera i recommend it nikon's really good no they all nikon makes good cameras that's for sure and good lenses oh yeah so very good uh the question that i have her follow up is you guys are sitting pretty good right now with android-powered smartphones are either one of these two big phones either the HTC one or the SBS for are they enough to make you switch from where you are right now specifically from the nexus 4 on up or do you think you'll skip a generation you know I've been trying to decide that honestly I I go through phones a lot I've probably been through ten twelve phones in the past year and a half but um I don't know because I'm really happy with my Nexus but I want L to evac and if you know if either those high table the day they're both can have LTE but you know it's it's all about our software I made it the Nexus has the best offer to me I'm perfectly happy with it but I do miss LT so I don't know yet honestly I'm doing a speed test on my Nexus 4 / HSPA right now is I've just LMK once and that's it you don't have LTE in Utah freight danger what yes and do you I've got LTE here I can do verizon fact some of the the verizon phones that I've used I've gotten 35 megabit per second down in your face so yeah I mean gsm gsm you don't have a on AT&T or whatever you don't have uneasy NTD yeah the other they've got hspa+ and LTE AT&T does in Utah and then verizon as well but I mean t-mobile I don't know if you guys can see that that's hspa+ 6.14 megabit down well I'm pretty happy with that okay that's what I get to hear that's what I get here non-buddhist man well Gavin down under give Ramon Buddhist and and it just sounds cool and love you Utah no one has ever claimed that Utah was cool yeah I used to get about 50 down on LTE here in Indianapolis but no now that I'm on hspa+ I get I'm lucky to see 45 down ouch but I actually did a speedtest last night on our Wi-Fi here at campus and I got a came back with a hundred twenty three megs down see here's the part of hspa+ at least with tmobile that I don't like and I don't know if you guys can see that they cap your up speed at right around that's less than 1 megabit that's yes the nigs happened at half so if I want faster speeds I don't get me started downloads nice but let me upload I want to be able to upload oh well anyway I think that's it guys thanks very much for joining us we appreciate you having the watches and participate and hangouts throw things back over I guess it's your turn now Tony yeah it is thanks very much Adam and Evan and come back right bye-bye and I will take this opportunity to talk to my nwc friend Sam who's from the UK if i recall well or if my accent recognition is in its place we have met we were I think it was early in the am when when we have met at the nokia event we actually with michael fisher we woke up at about four thirty in the morning we had to travel to the nuclear engine center and we were the first people in line actually there were five people it was Michael Fisher myself and then it was Clinton and Sam and that's that's how we know each other so welcomes him to the to your first pocket my life thank you very much yeah i am from from the UK well England specifically book you know we had a dramatically in you Michael yeah football book but yeah so this this is your first hangout I just want to throw in this we have a rule either we talk about whatever you want to talk about or if not we talk about whatever we want to talk about well I'll let you guys and ask me that galaxies first of all devices whatever you guys want to throw towards me cuz an eye I general asked whitey okay I'm gonna be bad this time I'm not gonna ask you about the s4 because everybody's talking about the s4 and you'd be cheating so I'm asking you to tell me your predictions about the supposed alleged and upcoming Motorola X phone do you think what do you think that will be about yeah and i got myself a business that's why I do that to you to him I mean I don't think it's gonna come and not anytime soon and they're gonna go personally we have had a lot of conversations about what I'm certainly gonna do the nexus 5 first cuz they're gonna brand is the five the nexus 5 in the fifth month android five and then two of us 02 / kind of things to Brent as I the nexus 5 because everything's going like a 5-inch 1080p and they're gonna run up samsung cuz samsung they've only got the for an HTC they're way behind cuz they're still there the one you see I have a question I mean that's totally logic logical what you're explaining to me but what I don't really think it will happen last year at the google i/o we've seen the Nexus 7 and it should be time for a tablet release since the nexus 4 was released like four or five months ago wouldn't it be time for a phone somewhere in the autumn quite possibly but it really depends is how Google are going to going to start selling their phones now dunno they want to do a year release our every six months because it seems like nowadays everyone want to try not death at the hardware a lot sooner than 12 months so it's like right do a bit six months every 12 months it's kind of like hmm what are they gonna do now wife and the might do is release two devices you know try and do side-by-side you know I've try and get a bit more exposure for each device and go right isn't you Nexus 7 it is a nexus 5 to kind of go with it because less bun is the nexus 4 kind of is is close to a 5-inch than a 4-inch anywhere so it kind of makes sense for him to do the 5-inch 1080p and just kind of brand along that where know now one thing one thing I mean we you know motorola when google bought motorola it was their commitment that they were gonna leave motorola as their own company you know they were gonna leave him alone and they were gonna build whatever they wanted and listened this and that and we've seen terrible market push in the united states specifically um and then now we've get the news today that they laid off 1200 employees yeah so if you know it makes you wonder this Motorola's still gonna be a company or whatever it is in the next 12 months i mean could it be that the razr m and the razr HD and all these devices or like the test okay can motorola survive on its own and since they haven't succeeded could it be that they're gonna just ditch motorola and use the hardware division of motorola to actually build the first like real google phone meeting like no longer the nexus brand but a real google whatever yeah i mean not that makes logical sense to me because in the UK motorola almost non-existent you know they released someone so in carriers but I don't know anybody that's got a motorola device literally nobody buys them in the UK so it makes sentence obviously with the pixel you know the chrome pixel he's now Google hardware it kind of kind of leads us to the going that where you know you gotta look quite bare and I say obviously they are looking at doing they're on their own full hardware division and it would make sense in our Pro branded as a Nexus device but an actual true Google Nexus device instead of an LG Nexus or HTC nexus and you can kind of see where they want to go with it going forward so in line with the the pixel do you think they're also going to charge like twelve hundred dollars for the phone good good question and was all hundred dollars for a web browser all right oh I mean once audit boots fast time it in boots fast yeah you know I was seriously I I'll be honest with you I was you know since I have the the Retina Display MacBook Pro this is a three-thousand-dollar computer at some point I was like you know there are some times when I want to go to the coffee shop but there's a lot of theft in my country's I was like I don't want to carry this computer I'm gonna get a Chromebook um and and I started looking into this Samson joining the dollar Chromebook and then when they brought out the pixel I was like men what these guys are not charging for chrome itself I know the app they'll be making with the damn computer should seriously I couldn't believe I mean as nice as is let's be honest it is a beautifully crafted device oh absolutely portray it's still just a web browser effective or you know unless they do this you know what I'm kind of hoping a lot of people are as well they kind of merge chrome and Android together it kind of makes sense touch screen on the pixel touchscreen android apps kind of leases to where they're going with it but it's one of those will the do it because they've always said they're not going to do it but will they actually decide right yeah and I've always wondered why they don't do that i mean we have android we've got tablets now we've got google TV we've got phablets we've got phones we've got all these different screen sizes and other than they've guys who you know did google the search they do search low you didn't know their address and that other they only deliver and read mail i agonizing Tony loves gmail if anyone doesn't know how much Tony loves gmail but but back to background point we've got this ecosystem of apps that arguably works across all of these platforms including to a lesser extent google TV and that 10-foot experience hmm Chromebook is just it's a laptop it's it's a tablet with an attached keyboard put android on it or at least give me that as an option because now all of my apps will work on it the way that I know that they work the way that everything yeah and it's a lot of system is there and it's an ARM processor yes they just think about this we can run android apps on windows 8 I mean Adam you're showing us in a video how you can do that you do that to Joe you did it a couple of months ago and why can't we do it on the TAM Chromebook with me man it makes logical sense from to merge it because from what I understand the technical point of it then they can they can kind of crossbreed together and make it kind of one so why not just give is it we all want it so I give us what we want the exhibit glass first San do you have any any closing thoughts we have to we have to move fast your BS my twitter feed is going crazy and everybody wants to join which is good for us but unfortunately there's only ten slots in this hang out and just your thoughts obviously you you ask anybody what's it gonna take for the inner for the s40 no gayness 4014 for you guys for me personally the s4 I said it yesterday and i will tell this the exact same answer every time i get this question it will take two things to happen at the same time so not one or the other but two things at the same time number one the s4 has to have a better design than the S free and arguably a better design than the HTC One and the second thing is the s4 has to deliver a better imaging experience than the HTC One if these two things happen at the same time I don't care about specs about ram about internal storage and we care about these so if this happens the s4 if either one of these or none of these happen it's it's the HTC One for me and I and I forgot to ask you as yesterday Toni I mean you at you were the one that had the s2 and then you had the s3 and then you had the HTC One and then you decided to sell your HTC One and actually keep the s3 so tell me what what did what does a point of view about the HTC one that everybody knows my opinion and I've said maybe people will continue hating on me but I am like this whatever my experiences are I tell them straight out I think the camera on the HTC One was overrated I think it was a mediocre camera with a huge marketing hype behind it the images were were little filled with lots lots of noise and they were jagged and compared to this the S free had a much better camera I at one point did a camera shootout between the HTC one vs free the 808 PureView and the iphone 4s I think at that point and the HTC One came out on bottom on all tests what about jocks I don't think of a ja sam was just being on and what would what would it take for him you know you would you get one or an s3 over a nexus you know what uh that's not fair and that's just not sure it's it's no surprise i'm i'm a nexus family because of all the things that Nexus is and does and what it allows me to do right there I've got to Nexus force one of them you can't use but anyway I'll show them off like that because I know at least two people here hi Mary but I myself who will probably kill for that phone yeah thank you thank you but yeah the the galaxy 4 is just it's another galaxy it's going to sell like hotcakes everybody's going to love it it's going to be the next iteration up from the three and it's going to be wildly successful am I going to get one probably not uh if anything i'd love to get back to HTC because i love HTC i love their hardware i always have since back in the old ipaq days oh that when you're hitting me in the heart here oh so yeah if I were to do any of the two right now I would probably take a chance on the HTC agreed agreed cool well thanks for having his guys and I would rest of the show thanks for being here and the week will do see like ice by way and with that I'm gonna I think handed out to you hi mate it's his turn right now okay let me look for somebody that's been here for a while my diaz you made the comment about the cigar Tony please pull out your masterpiece well I don't know what he was talking what comment now you eat buzzer damn John I'm time video smoking cigars is great yeah well it's usually about one of the you somebody's microphone is acting up someone's by the ocean they're lucky right oh yeah they are so it's it's something's got to kill me at one point so that's when doing kids do the mat for yourself oh so Matthias tell us about you how are you day one angle how are you two I'm great where are you from and what I like if I love when the side is ah i was i was a big fan i was there oh man it's been it's been almost 10 years since the last time that i was there but it was a great experience it is a beautiful city and man that is like the best meat and the best wine i've ever had my life yeah yeah so tell us about you tell us about you what do you do for a living for example well I am a programmer oh really yes that is awesome man over my own heart yes but eyes nice and what device are you using hey I am a nokia lumia 800 uh guys phone guy finally somebody walking with this fellow yeah yeah that is that was a good phone that's the 800 like 900 oh the 900 the 900 still I i like that i actually like the 800 a little more because of the size it was a smaller phone but the 900 was a really cool phone the night day a country they never came to action Tina each song then I country water first the cementum is here t or 300 no no buddy get in this in September 900 we have little body behind but so I've got a question for you then regarding your choice of phones did you go with a windows phone because you have a programming background using Microsoft technologies and just saw that as a natural evolution of progression for you to pick up and be able to write your own apps for the Windows platform or do you program in other languages no I am a good girl Emma Koch oh wow oh okay you're gonna have to enlighten me here what does COBOL mainly use for only bank maybe I did a funny guy banya no interesting interesting so no but that's an interesting legacy man that's an interesting legacy what about tablets you have any tablet or your sticky only with a smartphone no no my mother got one excuse something like that oh yeah now you know as every time you know I think that something's really happening you know a lot of people that are buying their first computer like kids or teenagers or stuff they're going for tablets obviously but all of us that have been using tablets for the past three years you know I find myself using a tablet less I don't know about you Joe or Tony but I find myself using a tablet less than I used to because I know why for works you're carrying something like this Oh true true that's why because if it if you carry something like this or the veer then you probably use a 7-inch tablet okay so i've got a pimp my article that i just wrote what was it yesterday day before about now that we've got tablets that are doing so much do we still use laptops or can they replace laptops and I think it's either getting close if you're using it as a portable entertainment device or for a very basic set of use case scenarios but you know for us where we do an awful lot of typing we probably do video editing tablets just aren't quite there yet ipad I think it's getting close I mean correct me if I'm wrong but video editing on an iPad is getting there yeah yeah and to be honest with you in my case for example I i I'll be honest with everybody I despise windows 8 but the move the move I don't hate it I despise it um but the move is actually not a bad move it's actually very interesting what they're doing I mean I feel that that you know it should we should have more powerful tablets and they've always existed for the past 12 years they have existed but the problem is um you know if we are gonna be stuck with with with the limitations of a tablet I just don't find the use for it i mean is that the reason why you stayed away my peers know me is expensive here and this phone i got was 600 different oh wow ap man country oh wow technology in here is it so expensive an ipad is enough one thousand dollars oh wow well it looks like you're in the same boat as I am because I was just tweeting the other day I was checking out the the price for the Lumia 920 and that is priced here in Romania at the same price point as the iphone 5 both going for one thousand dollars so that's too much any but but interesting I mean Mattias you know when I was in Buenos Aires probably one of the things that struck me the most was you know probably technology is expensive but life there is not really that expensive food there is is extremely affordable and really good quality food everywhere yeah let me dress and I am I suggesting eat less buy more phones no but okay do you have any questions for the team that before before we close the final thoughts no I shall say that about the topic of the Hangout is for t1 not for me not for I don't I don't I don't know what why what that exists if keep doing the same thing the same thing I mean you're so you're happy with Windows Phone meaning that that you're really satisfied with your purchase what up I windows phone 7 hey I I can talk about Windows Phone 8 well you know is this this is not for me I actually yes I back into the question of a show if I shall want to try okay so so one question which would be your next phone meaning if it's not the s for the HTC One which phone is out there that you on right now the Xperia Z which one do one would you consider the one if you know this I um I know HTC I am on a one-win window a window mobile 6.5 ah yeah those are the day they what well my process map is ok so I'm gonna ask you one final question but there's actually a personal question can you explain to me what type of meters the be fair choti so what is it a filet or what I've been trying to figure out what meat that is to buy it here locally and this is coming from somebody who speaks Spanish but not Portuguese well it's it's a name but it's not of a specific steak it's just a specific cut that they have only in Argentina that you don't find anywhere else and Tony I am going to take you there and you are gonna die that is delicious that is delicious am i right man no way to go there with you yeah yeah am I am i right about the ass yeah yeah but do you know what cut is it or not really HSN I don't know winning in English it's an embodied oh yeah it is oh so it's a combination of a sausage with me sort of you would say but me a ball is oh my god like it it is amazing Tony it is amazing yes well we weren't telling us about your running thing and now you're talking about sausage yeah Matthias it is a real pleasure meeting you man you live in a beautiful country congratulations and we hope to see you next week thank you thank you I'd ok take care bye bye see ya next one the answer a guy is up next the android guy you know this is kind of like roulette you gotta look at everybody who's in here and say which guy is running Android and which guy is not ok so Simpson Floyd juniors been here for a while I don't know Schurrle hate 'let that sounds good to me go ahead introduce yourself say hi to the team and what tech are you on but bursary unmute your mic hey can you hear me we can now okay excellent um well I'm running really old take a couple years it's like um us HTC Sensation nice looking for hold on let go look at this this was a really good phone but Tony knows the story behind this phone so I'm not really gonna talk about you go it's getting old so it's time i'm gonna go to something else are you running stock rom monitor review done anything custom to it I'm just stop but since it's so close to being out of two year I think I'm just going to start writing some custom stuff and he's used it to experiment you have any real arms in mind or I'm thinking of Sgt beside you my ten points of my dad for a jelly bean you know that I you can't go wrong with cyanogenmod it's one of the the most stable out there not really cutting edge anymore you've got a okay p and paranoid android that are kind of pushing the envelope there but if you want wide variety of devices stable lots of cool features cyanogenmod is the way to go so I we've asked everybody else this will ask you to wear where do you hail from where where do you call home oh I am in Alabama that I love them yes very nice and you consider that the north-south the deep south oh it's the deep south is the Bible bill so that's definitely so I'm very good it it depends some people you know I've talked to people from all over the place and some people like well Alabama it's it's kind of up near the North we're not as south as some of our other neighbors are but it's a state of mind I love this app enough I mean it's hot all the time so that counts I may I'll tell you what hot is right oh yeah actually I've actually been to mobile and it's hot oh yeah it's a mobile absolutely so what tell us why you picked Android and what it might say I'm going to just kind of turn things on their head here what would it take for you to switch over to another platform other than Android oh I know the platform any platform not just iOS or something like that yeah any platform what would it take i mean you're on android why and then what would it take for you to switch I'm on Andrew because of it because it's highly customizable we can do about anything with it is it's as close to having a desktop or a computer a real computer in your hand as you can get I think iOS it would it would have to be a lot more customizable they'd have the chance to look of it now we have to be able to do it stop be able to change the screens and make them harder want custom icons knees are sore now just just a question because I would like to know when you're talking about customization are you only referring to the looks of it the aspect or are you thinking deep tweaks and X well what's nice about Android is you can do 2d tweaks if you want i'm not at that level i want to go there but for someone like me i can do the surface stuff very easily and not to have a brand new look every day if i want not me i enjoy that so you're talking with me live wallpapers widgets new folders and whatnot i have like five home launchers and I just choose every day which one I want to work with and it has a new look automatically fabulous what watches your favorite this week um nova launcher on my phone and on my tablet apex apex launcher wow it's really stable i love it very nice very nice do you have any questions for the team what about is that before you before you ask the question um it's uh it's 2012 is a galaxy tab 7.0 plus huh that was a really good one mm-hmm this nice and he's holding up great everything on upgrading that to say D note 8.0 which got a beautiful year beach and my the only one wants to talk on a tablet yeah probably so yes well I mean I'm trying to get away from having to carry an extra tablet along with my phone i was thinking more lies something like the the optimus g pro or the gas note to the g pro is great believe me i've been using the g pro for four hands out in comparison in barcelona and i'm using the note 2 as my second phone as daily driver you know what it's right there if you don't care that much about the s pen itself and and everything surrounding the S Pen the g pro is a good competitor 44 the no 2 now of course it all depends on samsung and the note 3 I don't know if I'm gonna be able to wait that long what the Sam August like August somehow so so far into the future it's too far this is changing technology every six months thing you know the August is a really long time away yes yes it is so I had a question for you guys I'll referring to something i read this morning about new foley technology for the yaw cs4 have you discussed that already no we have not i have read about it and i think steven has posted about it on our channel but on our page but I couldn't tell you right now but if you'd like while you talk with the other guys I read it up real quick and I will chime in so in my understanding what Samsung is planning on doing is because already by the way I already film parking out daily and that's part of the news today yeah okay so that you know about it you talk about it yeah so apparently what they're changing is the way they are lighting up display um I don't really know the difference between one technology and the other um but apparently the idea is to make apple you know to me it's probably still gonna be called a mole in just a new generation and you know in the past what we've had is a mole it just gets better you know it gets better for lighting and they light it gets better in efficiency and apparently what what this new technology is gonna do is just make it more efficient like when you had an LCD in the past in the past then you moved into LED and what you change was the backlight um I believe that that's gonna be the swap I don't know about you Joe you know what does about on par yeah you know what I'd like because regardless if we're talking about the galaxy s2 the galaxy s3 or the note to my single problem with the AMOLED screens is that if you go outdoors in a study they you can see you can't see jack yeah so that that's my problem at hope this thing addressed is that or at least that's my hope I don't know if that's the technology right there that i use out in the sunlight anymore that's all i gotta do fun well you got a pebble yeah i got my pebble Oh podcast yesterday oh I haven't been able to add Tony knows I've had a swamp day but but uh seriously I you know that SmartWatch thing is something that's really been itching me I just wish that we get a SmartWatch that actually looked elegant I'm you know I'm uh you know I'm a stainless steel type of guy i don't i'm not into the the plastic heat I noticed Michael swapped the the arm piece the armed man on his it made it metal so I could probably go for that you get so you got a Kickstarter phone didn't you yeah I got in excuse me I got a little bit of accosting going on I'm I'm digging in my pocket here that's why the camera went all over the place I got into the Kickstarter after Michael data he was 99 bucks I was 115 but that right there is a claim ticket for a really nice metal watch band that i bought from my local my local watch store they have it ordered for me because they only had gold and silver and i wanted a nice black one so there they'll have it to me in a couple weeks they say nice nice i've got a video going up later today actually you haven't seen it yet because i'm saving my bandwidth right now it's not uploading while I'm trying to do this you can thank ya later but as soon as we're done here I'll start that upload and it'll go live later today about some of the things that the pebble smartwatch mrs. and just spoiler alert here guys the band at that's one of them oh ok syn thank you very much for joining us any last thoughts um no kind of curious about the UM BM the pebble watch if it was worth 150 price tag for I mean maybe that why should be good if it was around seven or eight 100 it's a lot for the functionality right what do you think about the four hundred dollar I'm watch made in Italy I think I'll pass well said so I'll take that question um I backed it I didn't know if it was quite worth it at a hundred and fifteen dollars that's 115 it is it's well worth that plus the 10 and a half month wait in my opinion and I'm a SmartWatch connoisseur I've had a half a dozen seven smart watches over the years is it worth 150 dollars probably and especially if they gave it a nice quality watch band absolutely is it worth 150 plus a seventy dollar watch band like Michael put on his I don't think so they got to do something with it the watch band to to upgrade it and make it feel like a higher quality time piece because it really is it's a nice high quality I love this thing to watch itself other than the band absolutely love it's one of the best watches that I've ever ever worn and every time you enter thank you thank you very much for joining us and please do come back next week thank you thank you take care about a man whose turn is it I think it's yours Tony I do i do I guess Tony Stern okay if this is mine then sim could you please could you please leave the Hangout so we can free up a slot and awesome I had this a twitter friend of mine who's from romania his name is Caesar but I know it's chas dodd so it's actually the first Romanian except for me on this handout so good evening how are you know everyone your audio is is yeah if you can talk a little bit louder okay okay I'll try that okay this is perfect so high first of all nice to be here it's good to have you it took me one time the hour for this podcast we publicize gmt so we can not publicize all times but I have a neat trick on my sleeve I will I will from now on publicize a link to a nice time and date converter so everybody just clicks on that and the Seas exactly at what point in time happening at them well I think we all need to switch over to swatch internet time because then we can all be confused together right a spy on the Google+ fing is nice you can add it to the calendar and it sings the time for you yes that is true and whenever a host changes but it syncs automatically so Romania I have a sapphire black sv whoa my colleagues don't think no no dawn so tell me you have a sapphire black you know when I saw that phone initially you know if the phone is just so black um that there is just no way around the fingerprints on that thing it looks sort of like mad that's why I went for the pebble blue but but how have you liked it in black color well I used the case from the first day it does it's nice with the case there's they are no fingerprints I'm very careful not to break my phone cost me a lot oh yeah yeah which raises this one with i was using cyanogenmod on that one it was the only reason I kept at home i'm using it right now i flashed the rom the first day I got the phone Wow first time so it's interesting you're saying that the phone was extremely expensive and then you just made a hata kitty right there yeah that's the reason I chose the s3 over the One X because i could not void my warranty Oh interesting so just tell you one thing are you planning on upgrading the s3 to the s4 which which more about know why not this is a great phone I don't really need a better phone right now you make me you guys don't you guys talk so alike hey and the s-1 would probably be bigger and yeah it's not one that's the Tony Tony is always like Tony's always like I don't need a better phone i have a nokia pureview 808 that's all I've 808 that is correct I don't need anything else the food is great yeah what's happen are using if any I'm not using any tab I don't find a good use for that side for media streaming yeah you've got a big phone anyway so you're good yeah so when your portable do you find yourself falling back to your your smartphone or do you also have a laptop that you carry around or do you just write back to a desk when I have to work i use my laptop April but the phone is quite fun I usually browse the internet a lot and the battery life is awesome yeah you guys get a deal over there for mobile it's like crazy what you guys pay over there for for being on one what was it don't like like three bucks yeah that's that's on my specific carrier which which I don't think cuz I razon well hospital so you're not you're not on the same city no we're not in the same city but these are national carriers but I'm not sure which carrier he's on I'm on the smallest one which also happens to be my provider for TV and local landline and phone and everything I want yuh yeah I believe he's with the one which which has a fruit name yes I was once in with the collar yeah okay see you have any questions for us Chesson what really just want to say hi see how everyone was doing pleasure meeting you man a pleasure man Tony's told me so much about Romania that I have to go there seriously I've got a special heart or special place in my heart for Romania I know because you know me right well I know Tony and who can't love that face right but no I actually was back when Google Maps started something call attitude where you can share your location with friends and family all number world I was just playing with it and accepted a friend request from a crystal and didn't know where he was and turns out he's in Romania and he just happened to come to the States for vacation with his father and his friend and while they were here they thought hey Jose in the States let's go visit him so they came all the way out here drove up right past me we had lunch together and just all kinds of fun but so uh Romanian fans right there for the win Holly because of the belinka Tony um Joe now I'll explain what palinka is later you're gonna die Jessa much for dropping by and whatever you can't just drop by again and we'll talk some more I will ever have a nice day take care bye bye hurry back her back I'll give you some stories about that by Lincoln and last time you get something you'll get some more in Berlin I was I was taking care of the bottle like really religiously and then we I had some friends over for a party recently and we ran out of beer and we ran out of booze and we ran out of wine and we ran out of everything and so one of my friends was so piss drunk he just goes back to the cover he comes back with a palinka but he already drank like I don't know like water bottle oh man I I can't feel this thing when I drink it but what is palinka made up by the way it is it is moonshine locally made out of plums and the truth the dearest one is made out of plums out of funds yes that's moonshine ok let's talk to their chris toss you've been here for a while hello hello where are you from Germany Germany oh we're gonna be there soon how is that what's fun how soon as if I it's in September right Deborah beginning of celebrities Oh interesting which part of Germany are you from I'm from Augsburg which is Cox book in the south east and in the southwestern part near summer kill and no it's a new to Munich to Munich how interesting I have a brother living in Munich cool well yeah well my wife was born in Frankfurt oh interesting and I was last year in Berlin for the ephah ha and we all drink beer and we all drink beer so tell Tony tell it tell us about you what device you're using um I'm using the iphone 5 oh nice nice very nice varies i I'll admit I join you it's my daily driver yeah I one of my two daily drivers ah hey Tony when did you go black that's what she said I finally saw that there's a story behind this when when Michael and I first met up in Berlin last year at ebah he has kept on bringing on these that that's what she said things apparently the things which I was saying and I didn't get the entire idea but now I do and I and now I that's why she said everybody that's that and I got I got the black one recently because initially I went with the white one you told me that that thing looks awesome and it looked awesome until the day I managed to sell it and I said okay let's try this one and you know what I finally realized that the black iphone is not black it's blue it depends on the lighting and I love it because if you take a look at it from from the from the front it's just a black another fingerprints but it's a just a black slabby don't know where the screen starts and where it's green ends yeah it's cool that's the cool part about for for me the iphone 4 in the iphone for us were better in black i didn't like him in white III didn't like him in a white i have the forest here which is i don't know i just didn't like this phone in white my for was actually in black so how are you liking the the iphone tell us about it Chris since I used before the iphone 4 I didn't had any problem with the five I'm kind of came with it oh good good how is it holding up there do you have any scratches or scuffs or or any signs of color where nope just a white one not but my brother is using the black one and he had the same problem with the scuff games mmm okay can you believe I mean in my I'm in my five when I filmed me after the buzz um my phone was pristine zero issues zero whatsoever but you know I was looking at it last night and I actually have like one Nick or two out of the blue I have no clue how to wear oh that's good that I got applecare on this phone I'm just gonna go swap it but you know it's just the sad thing I mean I haven't dropped my phone ever and it's already got it yeah just kiss for the record hi Matt and me are about the only people on the team who don't take care of phones they cherish phones they place them not directly on something but on top of a claw yeah okay I've take offense of that because of all the phones i have ever had I've only broken one and it happened to be the slipperiest phone in the world no yeah I taking her mind to you should see Brandon I have no clue why he doesn't smash any more phones than he already does cuz it in Brendan's like talking to you and he's like it I'm like yeah I need to make a phone call can i borrow your phone he's like yeah yours ha sigh he throws it to the other side like crap God he's like Hulk but only he says Brendan smash Oh serious seriously a mini vaca so Chris it's okay what somebody out there I'm cutting you off I me but while we're on this somebody out there get your photoshop skills take a picture Brandon minimun and turn him into Brandon mini hope I gotta see that that's gonna be an awesome one is so tell me Chris what's habit are you using if any oh I'm using their I pit mini oh okay I'm glad I like that yeah I've you know I've tried to like it but I need a I need an iPad Mini with Retina display that's me yeah I was just gonna say that with with retina you know I was just so spoiled i have a Retina Display MacBook Pro I have a high resolution on yet every single phone that I have and then I go to my tablet and everything looks jagged it just pisses me off I didn't take the bigger one the threat not because it was just for me to bake it is big yeah it is big i actually went to the mini because of the size as well but but your liking the mini that you consider it to be a worthy the worthy device to you okay so final question um any well you're definitely not going to get an s4 have you already got an iphone 5 or are you I mean what predictions do you have um I saw the one and I don't know I were watch out for the as far if it's okay because I got this one before There s free Oh interesting but one day later it fell down and cracked but I did stable works without any problem I look maybe I take the s 40 or I wait for the iphone 5s yeah I can't find my broken Galaxy Nexus it was just one fallen broke just one so III don't know I it Samsung has got they've got awesome design but they really just play it on the edge with display and that's really not not a good way to design it's easy to break the display no matter what you do which is something good about HTC phones man I mean I've had some HTC phones really beaten not by me by Brandon and then I get them after they're after they're beating and they look good HTC's industrial there they're very well put together yeah yeah well it's it's a pleasure to meet you Chris it I don't know if you have any questions for the team before you go mm-hmm not any question cool cool well it's a pleasure meeting you thank you for joining us same here say next week bye bye bye mr. Levi you know I've got to go with Zoltan Joe because he's got facial hair and Zoltan come on that's such an awesome name that's how you Ian so introduce yourselves to us and let us know you'll have to I'm you I got a little back going on there too yeah we've got a little lag going on there hello guys hello welcome to the show definitely from Hungary I can I recognize that accent from I'm Hungarian but uh I'm from I mean I live in Austria very nice very nice so tell us about your tech introduce us to your uh what you got for your phone and a tablet if any and why uh my Danny driver is uh oh man I am envying you that is it that's the Z I can eat yet I'm actually getting the whole I'm actually getting the ZL that the phone is beautiful and now tell me something have you dipped it in water yes that's all right on purpose yes you know I just think about this guy's how many times have you been in a situation where you want to go to the pool with your friends or with your kids Joe or something and you just want to take a photo and you don't because you don't want to get your phone wet yes yes I know yes most of the time I don't want to get wet either so I'm staying far away from the puzzle done tell it does about you aside from the Xperia Z how are you liking it you're enjoying the phone yes I get it on on Tuesday and yeah it's pretty good tell me one thing we are currently reviewing this so I know the answer but I want to know exactly your opinion on this what do you think about the display i mean i've heard mixed results mixed reports from across the internet i know our take on the screen but i want to know what do you think about the screen on that thing well the viewing angles are not so good oh but by the way they're not so good because there's a screen protector on it like with every sony phone yeah that is that is such a piss off I mean they always ship with this you know it took me like tools to get it off the experience when I reviewed it and that once I took the screen protector than the viewing angles were good oh and apparently the Sony branding is on the screen protector itself and not on the glass really yes and the the Xperia branding also no no only on the front on the front yeah hmm but but that's actually cool you get rid of that Sony name and you've got like a black slab that actually be good yeah ok every time I see that I am just reminded of 2001 a Space Odyssey Nexus just that big black slab there that's sitting there the monolith and you wonder what it is and it's just so elegant in its simplicity yeah it's it's an elegant phone it's a beautiful phone absolutely are you using any tablet yes a nexus 7 oh that's a good tablet hate the display but it's a good tablet yeah the displaced basis i hate the display i like it okay you know what it looks like it reminds me of washing your clothes and you know if they were yeah you remember when you know that you put your shirts in there and they're they're red and then they come out after the dryer they come out you they lost color that's what that's what everything looks they're like on the next seven and I guess I'm I'm probably blind then Brandon always looked at my photos and says Joe what's wrong with your picture is it and if I'm looking at it I can't see it I just I can't see it I'm just lest artistic I guess I don't know you you look at red and red looks pink you look at yellow and yellow looks like white that for me that's the promise color accuracy yeah I think Apple has spoiled you you know but but but think about this I mean you think about this surely the Nexus 7 is not an expensive tablet but then if you have the option to buy something that brings you better color accuracy and now tablets are becoming so cheap you know I've seen Sam's and tablets that do a lot a much better job probably not resin resolution but in color reproduction so I would rather pay for something does a good job in everything then not a good job in something I don't know that's me okay so to follow up for both of you how much of a premium would you pay to go from the colors that you have on the current nexus 7 to something quote unquote better how much is that worth you how much more would you pay for a tablet that was exactly the same specs just had better colors on the screen ooh i'd be willing to pay an extra hundred bucks for a good display extra hundred bucks yeah how about you Zoltan yeah me too now would you pay that if you had the two sitting side by side would you throw down the extra hundred dollars to get the one with the better colors or would you say I'm gonna save that and maybe get a one with a bigger storage capacity or one with LTE instead oh okay so here's the problem with tap here's the problem with tablets I don't know about you sold on but in my case the tablet is about to display you know it's not about the back it's not about the sides it's it's about the display everything in the tablet has to do with the display so it's like in a computer I mean if the keyboard was mushy you know it's a full that the computer is about the display the keyboard the trackpad there are so many components that have to do with the computer so not everything is about to display but in the case of the tablet if they don't get that right then it's not really something you enjoy and that's really the prom in my book yeah you're you're right you're right fair enough no any questions for us all down on your case oh no nothing special I'm getting the Xperia ZL next week so I'm really eager to join you in that 1080p yeah yeah and yes i will get rid of the skin of the screen protector i will i get two screen protectors with it but i don't don't know if I if you know if it doesn't if it doesn't bother you i would recommend you don't take it off initially because those are like not yet those are really expensive and good screen protectors you know it so cuz it took me a while to grab the experience and notice that there was one it took me a while like like a couple of weeks for me to notice that there was something there yeah if I didn't read or hear about that didn't notice it yeah okay I put a pleasure meeting you hold on thank you thank you yeah maybe hi guys who's next you are next Tony oh yeah good and before I do that I will take this opportunity and I have learned this from Joe I'm not gonna pimp out my Twitter I just want to say thank you everybody for following me because I finally crossed the 1000 followers mark so thanks everybody hey here's to the next 2003-4 knows no no I'm kidding so thank you for ever okay now I'm the one that's gonna complain i've been stuck at 1800 for a while yeah go on follow hymen yo Joe Vaux ever follow everybody good except for Michael Fisher unfollow michael fisher and fall all of us instead we gotta win some heritage let us talk to uh to whom shall we talk we shall talk to I think bowel asuncion I totally messed up your name but yeah it's okay it's a date hi where are you from I'm actually streaming from d okay hold on just one second Fritz can you please yeah mute your mouth I already made it in ok good so back to you Paul yeah I'm actually from DC from DC great and you have a Spanish name I do but I'm not actually so you don't speak spanish because i was good i was thinking that you might be able to talk a little spanish with hi mother so the way think that this thing works is I don't we talk about what you want or we talk about what we want so let's hear what you want um a little bit of both I guess I guess I kind of wanted to ask you this question for a while Oh what's your job like like waking up in the morning i'm excited i'm doing a pocket knife thing today i do i will tell you just a little bit of how it is to work with and now and not because I don't want to tell you more because we will have an awesome thing coming up soon which will let everybody know and see how one day in our life is so that's a little spoiler for here so for me it depends whether if it's a weekend or a weekday I'm working on both weekends and weekdays but i usually wake up at seven a.m. local time which is 12 a.m. midnight Eastern I'm covering the overnight news shift and as a managing editor I'm in charge with everything which appears on the front page whether if it's scheduling of editorials or assignments of different tasks and with that I will not tell you any more i will give you at one point an entire episode of my life with pocket now and I'm gonna end it over to hide yeah we're actually planning on filming a video for for that um in my case I I do video mostly I i actually do pretty much well i administer the just like Tony administers the front page i administer the youtube channel so you know the whole organization i wake up but usually i wake up at six in the morning i run for an hour then i'm available at seven and usually all the reviews that you see in most of the shows that we do i edit those and so usually i would edit those videos in the morning and then at at noon we cut at noon for PocketNow daily so whatever news that came over from tony and from steven early those are the news that are gonna make pocketnow daily for the day so I film at noon um I actually there's somebody that helps me which is our video intern who edits pocket out daily and you know usually for example if we're gonna edit and after the buzz or or or review usually it could take from from I don't know seven probably six to seven hours to edit a good video um and therefore you know I usually spend like an hour building an hour to building PocketNow daily and then I focus back on whatever videos we're doing or writing editorials it depends so for me that's usually my day but on the on the normal side let's say I'm up from I'm available from seven to seven that's pretty much the schedule and just before before Joe before Joe Stern hi Matt and myself as well as other peeps on the box now team are full timers Joe is just a part timer we hope you'll become he'll turn eventually so that's my boy well doing Rob o'clock so back to you Luke it is my destiny um so yeah that's been something we've been talking about Brandon and I since the the early early days I've been with the team now for two years and my role continually changes I was brought on just for news in the beginning and then news plus some editorials and then news editorials and videos and now it's just editorials and videos and you know all kinds of fun stuff my day since I am just a part timer and I have what we call in the industry a real job you think and I say that because if I had to choose between the two jobs today right now I would not choose the real job if it's it's one of those things where you wake up you dread going to work you trudge along all day and then you go home and pocket now is my escape pocket now lets me play with cool technology they let me write cool articles talk about apps do videos and really be an evangelist for the platform not just Android but the mobile platform so it's something where i can utilize my passion to to share with you not not just to say hey this that or the other or to crank out code all day but to build up the community and to do what we're doing right now you know i'm here on my lunch hour from my day job taking a long lunch just so i can be here with you guys and I'll pick up some food on the way back but back to your question i usually get up in the morning around 6 30 or seven o'clock the night before I've done probably half an hour to an hour worth of research on the topic that I'm going to cover the following day from there I'll write and write and write whether that's a 1500 word editorial or writing out a script and then shooting video that Jaime do you want me to send you all of my material so you can edit my videos cuz i oh you do a better job than I do so yeah I do all the video editing of my own stuff and it probably shows and then I'll give that up in online I do your reviews come on I make you look at I haven't done a review in a long time but yes you make my reviews look gorgeous absolutely I got your message I got your message but no that's what I do and I i say i would probably spend probably 23 hours a day creating and researching content and then just all throughout the day I'll answer comments i'll answer emails whether that's youtube comments or where comments at talking now and then i just try and stay up to speed with what everybody else is doing on the team i use paga now is my number one go-to source for news along with you guys too so it's it's wonderful i love what i do for pocket now all right um now question for you what device are you using i actually using the galaxy s3 yeah nice what colors does that pebble blue it's the pebble blue version yeah i've got i've got the same for me it's my favorite color i don't know why that doesn't very nice i just got it cuz it was kind of unique I haven't noticing a blue phone back then when they first came out so I thought yeah yeah and what I like the most about that color is that it depends on what angle you're looking at it from cuz it like color it like iridescent right yeah really cool any tablets um no actually I don't my dad has the nexus 7 but you're not you're not missing out on much trust me yeah I'm okay with a smartphone and a computer no and the gs3 s got everything you need man seriously yeah yeah a tablet is something that's nice to have but it's not really something you need yeah like I haven't regretted buying this phone when it first came out like back in the summer um I really love it I mean I know there's a lot of good phones out there I like the droid DNA and the One X plus a lot of other good phones that I probably would have bought if I hadn't gotten this but I haven't been dissatisfied like my previous phone I actually got a windows phone back in 2010 and then verizon announced the iphone 4 and i said i should have gotten that instead so uh no no but you you know honestly the iphone 4 on verizon was like terrible because if you know then connect LT um and you it wasn't a world phone you can add you couldn't add a sim card on it was just that I don't know I i hated the iphone for verizon that was me the problem with verizon is is you know their LTE network is insanely gorgeously great but their 3g network is terrible either fallback network is terrible i don't know I I there die whenever I travel to the US I use a lot of verizon products but I actually use a verizon phone with an LTE see with an AT&T sim so that's that i'm actually on AT&T and i have LTE here so i know i'm lucky yeah so it's really nice then you're in a big metro with AT&T oh you're lucky yeah speeds are pretty decent higher than average about the same as my Wi-Fi network hear that guys that is fine yeah I'm not gonna start talking about my Wi-Fi speeds no comment any final thoughts um i was gonna ask you about the galaxy s4 cuz um i don't know if i want to upgrade I mean it's gotten a lot of hype and I know that I'm gonna have a family plan pretty soon right now the only one with a smartphone in my family so uh I was thinking well if I actually get an upgrade because I know there's one family member who's actually willing to take my galaxy s3 surprisingly so yeah don't you just love Pamela yeah yeah so uh what are your thoughts I mean should I upgrade to the next one cuz i'm satisfied wherever I am well it all depends on what it what it is exactly that you're using your phone for or what it is exactly what you're expecting from the s4 um well I kind of like surprises so I don't make up my own rumors or look at really so just just to rephrase my question then the s3 already does at you throw at it it's a fast phone it's got a great display ok the s4 will probably have a higher resolution which in my case I don't really care about full HD I'm fine with with a qHD or with a 720p display the camera on the s3 is as good so it all comes down to when it comes down to me it all comes down to preference is it better than any aspect which interests me and for the moment that has to be better than the one ah ok well I mean right now I'm satisfied with it I know a couple people actually quite a few people with the s3 we don't really do like those features like s beam and stuff but I mean I was just because it's a popular phone that maybe idea it is a popular phone I mean you're a teenager and the problem is we're teens and I'm try try to be a teen every now and then we liked we like to be in style then I mean we like to have what's popular but you know to answer your question up if you have the opportunity to upgrade I always recommend that you do because the problem with Android and specifically with the galaxy s3 on AT&T because I have the same exact phone I have the same s3 yeah is that that is the dual core Snapdragon um apparently this this device that's coming is either the Snapdragon 600 or the X and O's 5 and they are they are insanely better that's one but probably the biggest problem is it took like three months for that galaxy s3 to get jelly bean um so the problem is whenever android 5.0 out it'll definitely reach it'll definitely reach that galaxy s4 first and then you'll have to wait for the galaxy s3 to get so if i were you i would definitely get rid of it as fast as i can yeah probably i'm still waiting for that update where you get like the multi-window features and all those other galaxies I'm school why do you think i'm using the note to you know honestly I prefer the s3 um but I get multi window only here because the note the the s3 on AT&T sadly does not have the up yeah I don't like the carrier carrier approvals of the updates I didn't really understand why they did that that's android system and that's a complete different discussion Joe would you want to come in and then we'll just have to get our last call uh so excuse me this is my cold that I'm still recovering from again um just a public service announcement based on what you just said with s beam turn it off please everyone else I don't need turn on your Android Beam keep that on keep your NFC on for that so then with your Samsung device you can still send stuff right over to me with my with my Nexus and then love jewelry right there here here whoa I can't look at that um but no I've got a friend who just got an s3 and he had s beam on and was like check this out is so awesome and he tried to show me how cool it was I of course I know how cool it is but I had to make them feel special right and it never worked he's like this never works with anybody I've tried this with everybody and I thought if it was going to work with anyone it would work with you why isn't it working and all I had to do was go in turn s beam off and then everything works with me and everything works with everybody else Wow just samsung why why don't I see why they do it they've done some wonderful things but use that as an enhancement that is automatically enabled when you're a samsung talking to a samsung so that you're still compatible with everyone else so everybody out there who's listening if you've got an s3 turn s beam off but turn Android Beam on so that you can be compatible with everybody in it it'll make your life a lot easier and simpler down to the question which I don't even remember if I remember it all the way anymore because I ramble ah the the problem with well let me rephrase I've got the nexus 4 right now am I gonna get the nexus 5 when it comes out yes good nature my job if I were an ordinary regular person probably not what I gotten the nexus 4 I had the Galaxy Nexus would I have gotten that if I were just at a normal everyday regular person no absolutely not the person can be look at me look at me I'm a regular ordinary person I mean not in the industry my wife still has a Galaxy Nexus and loves it absolutely loves it it does everything she needs to and it's running the latest version of Android because it's a nexus if I had to buy a new phone to get the new version of Android yeah I do that I'd be forced into it and I'd begrudgingly fork over you know a big wad of cash to be able to get it but I shouldn't have to and that that whole carrier approval for upgrades just it ticks me off don't even get me started on it I should be able to just like Apple does just like Nexus real Nexus not verizon or sprint Nexus like real Nexus devices do it should come right from the manufacturer and everything should just you know two weeks after the update released everyone who has that phone should have the new version but yeah to mirror what hi May said yeah the new version of Android is going to come out to the five before it comes out to the four and it may even come out to that six or eight months after you know android 5 has been released which is sad but that's another topic altogether yeah that's kind of why I rooted it so yeah okay Bowl we have to wrap it up if we need it can be have to have another cold so thank you very much for joining us and please do come back next week and if you hear something in the background it's the plane landing Tony lives in the baggage claim at the local airport so so okay just leave it at that thank you very much and who's next to pick somebody it's gonna be our last call gentlemen okay you have been here since the beginning of the call so I hate to go without giving you a chance um you are died on me I'm having yeah but jump on Nitti yeah lovely echo lovely echo okay hold on can you the any Samba in somebody's amused riggers yeah I think yeah yeah okay so tell us about you pleasure look at you pronounce your name first I hate to butcher yeah it's basically darad by I say Darren just to keep it simple no that's good man I say hey man I say hey and everybody makes fun of me on youtube and I don't care you know I spent I spent so long hitting and cool and so I'm not gonna change it anymore forget it so this is it tells about you were you from it's really you shouldn't have to change yeah I just make it I just make it easy for everybody else yes it does about you where you from well I'm from London basically oh nice nice but you still you still have an Indian accent so you you I living in yeah all right cat never knew you well the thing is I and I don't know I have a lot of friends that are from India I actually have a lot of friends that fly in India um and they've brought friends from there and you know it's just really it's like if I spoke in English but in on gluten accent or tony is is is either Russian a Romanian accent it's just really easy to tell where you're from yeah that's true yeah it could be because you know because of your heritage but what tell us about you what device you're using well mine is kind of a long story basically i had a HTC Desire few months ago and basically fell out the window oh my god I think you're gonna be like you're gonna make joke right I'm already holding back to tears i'm looking at that going on oh yeah this is the gloss from it oh my god it's nothing still alive no that's no way ok basically and I've been like I'm out of contract pretty soon so I've been like i just bought a pay-as-you-go like kind of nokia just yeah yeah just just hold on and just hold on a so yeah you're the perfect guy for them for the questions right now because you you're gonna be ready for a new phone very right that's why so first of all condolences to your HTC Desire you know that that was the basis for the for the nexus one which was my first android phone and i still love that thing to death I wish honest today I wish they still made phones that then that portable that beautiful that was a beautiful phone yeah is a sense was just right then it was it was perfect but okay tell us since you're about to switch contracts what is your next driver what are you looking into you know that's what I mean like after my main problem I'm torn between the one HTC One and the Sony experience said oh not even considering the s4 nice because it's it's am just touch with which is just too um I don't know who's right if you're doing alluded it's convoluted crayola it's not mature if you get one me it's kind of like I think it's mature I think that it doesn't look that good or it depends on your taste but it's definitely mature I think it's one of the most but your custom ui's on top of Android ever copied iOS not really but I'm gonna try to i'm gonna try to help you out here um okay so first of all um with HTC you have something which i consider to be maturity in design well both in the design of the device and the design of the UI I mean whoever told the and I'm sorry to say this but it's just true whoever told the idiot it's samsung that we want to read email with a black background and white text you are nuts I mean it's slow black beer that's okay yeah I believe that HTC has the best taste when it comes to the design of the UI I feel that they put a lot of thought into what really matters in the way you use a phone and that's why the One X would be my daily driver if it wouldn't for the trashy camera that's right i don't compromise on the cameras oh ok now okay so let me move on to the experience or the experience that as you're calling it okay so you've got a couple of things there first of all this is a okay so knee doesn't the good thing about sony is there not just the phone maker um they make tvs um and they are obviously also make the playstation and everything and this phone actually sells you some old playstation games one um this phone is rugged it's waterproof so it's you know better than the than the HTC One which is not and one of the best things about it is the fact that the galaxy s4 camera and the iphone 6 camera are gonna be made are gonna be based on that Sony sensor that you're gonna guess what I ya on the Xperia Z but probably the best selling point for the experience e right now is the fact that you just go pick it up at the store right now that's she so what you another one is expendable money in all honesty in all honesty if I were and I'm gonna use Joe's phrase here if I were an ordinary guy and I would have to choose between the two I love the 1x to death but I feel that this I feel that I hate Xperia phones by the way I reviewed the Xperia S and you know it was a good phone but it wasn't a great phone I feel that Sony really got it right with their new Xperia line and I do feel that I would give him all right hey hey yeah yes I i would i would give him a chance ok i but that's that's me again that's my money so in your case you've got it you've got a tough choice i don't know about the rest of the guys you're choosing between something awesome and beautiful on one hand and something beautiful and awesome on the other hand i don't think you're going to go wrong and let's loop in the that the sgs4 as well if you pick any one of those four devices you're going to be really really happy with your choice you might suffer envy over somebody who has something on their phone of the other two that you don't have on yours but you've got stuff on yours that they don't have on there so these are all wonderful technology they're built by top of the line companies pick what you think you want and and rest assured that whichever decision you make you're gonna love what you have now I cannot be four so go ahead go ahead go ahead go I don't know how long were these phones gonna be supported by the manufacturers 20 a closet unit cuz like i have google nexus of say android version 5 is coming out soon so I'm just like you know okay okay okay I I am going to give you a downside to get me telling a sony phone um you know they've done a good job in trying to make their experience as stark as possible but they are extremely late when it comes to android updates um HTC has done a better job with the one lineup they managed at least for the unlocked versions to get the the the updates a month after the launch of whichever new version of Android is out so HTC is doing a better job you know I just what pisses me off the most about the HTC one is the compromise it's like you get expandable everything on the on the galaxy s4 which that's gonna be the case um and then Arnie on the Xperia Z I at least can expand the memory um but on the HTC One I'm not gonna be able to expand anything so that's pray Sony's phone so thin I'm pretty sure HTC could have found a way to insert and we called throughout somewhere you get my point yeah like it was so to pick up what Jaime was going in the past yes sony has been very slow comparatively speaking to HTC to update their os's we've recently had the whole Xperia in the AOSP which we might see some AOSP releases that are more timely now than we had in the past so we if we use history as an indicator of what they're going to do in the future future absolutely right but there's that little inkling of hope that I have for a nexus Xperia or at least you know Nexus developers who are contributing and adding that are going to help speed up the implementation of AOSP versions of Android onto the xperia even if that's just a Sony branded experience they'll still have all the libraries and all the check-ins and all the contributions of developers in the open and source that are contributing to AOSP that they will be able to use and bootstrap into their own custom versions of Android you know bottom line I don't know how it is in the in the UK but at least in the United States you can just go pick up the phone if you don't like it you can return it in less than 30 days so you could probably just go give the tryout to the Xperia Z which is already out there we have heard rumors that the HTC one is going to have some manufacturing constraints initially so you could run into issues waiting for that phone so you could probably just try this one for now and if you don't just returned and swap but we are sadly running out of time um so it's been a real pleasure talking to you again whatever choice you make is going to be a good choice as Joe was mentioning if it was my money I would go for the Xperia Z even though I love the one the HTC One so back for that much I'll handed over to Tony it was a pleasure
