gonna happen maybe not this year maybe it is well what is it let's thing from Apple as for the subject of a bit of back and forth it's also one of our favorite below the radar phones that desperately needs a sequel give you the lowdown on that plus the latest on Qualcomm and Broadcom and we look forward to taking a ride on some electric scooters powered by Android 8 yeah it's true and it's all right here from the first of two special MWC 2018 editions of the PocketNow weekly recorded at 4:00 p.m. approximately Eastern on the 24th of February 2018 it's episode 290 of the show that's all about smartphones wearables tablets and anything you can call mobile technology yes scooters included from a cozy Barcelona apartment I'm your host and Jules Wong and my go-to colleague for this fantastical trade show right beside me Jaime Rivera say hello hello I am actually posting this on Instagram relation doesn't care it's like candid I do candid photography and he's gonna get into you please come up for posting that Instagram photo of me in an undershirt all right all that shut up and let let our boss talk editor-in-chief for the first time ever we've been face to face for a few

just a second for me to tell people how to participate in this podcast if they so choose so here's the thing we have this awesome line of communication that you can use it's podcast at pocketnow.com send your questions and absolutely everything you would like to participate with us actually during these days of mobile world there's a lots of cover there's very little sleep there are just too many opportunities for alcohol a lot of things we need to change we had this ball I bought this freaking bottle of horchata because what a Chapman you're gonna you're the keep and I'm gonna keep getting stopped in my tracks for a bottle of milk and you get me on a chat that Jules like really a bottle of scotch [Laughter] definitely a podcast at pocketnow.com as well Twitter hashtag P and weekly we also do that sue and maybe once in a while like in and millennium will read the YouTube comments and see what has changed about them I last time I read them it's kind of its kind of wash but no we'll go on from that all right are you guys ready are you guys height are you guys excited motorcycles are you all ready yeah start your engines is the this is the moment with your in the past in front of the VAR street before through our party one when I was in Athens for the first time I said that there's no other city with more scooters and then I went to Rome and I realized that was wrong and then I came to Barcelona and I realized that was even more wrong so you've not been to Taipei you have not been to Beijing that sure you're not Buddhist let's just go through a whole summary of things and then we'll go through one by one and then a talk things through so for the week of February 19 2018 this is all the mobile tech news that is fit to podcast we start off with shiny supply chain sources telling us about the I found se2 now this is something we've been dragging in the background some panelists have said that it's gonna happen if these features either say forget it not this year but apparently you might see a sequel to the newer smaller iPhone come out at WWDC in June that said rumored components from 2017 don't make this as breathtaking as the original a seat mule did you meantime Apple's claimed to have had a field day with its first wireless earbuds so much so the air pods are set on some big updates over the next couple of years next year's can't bring up water resistance to the dama with the best 2019 before they melt on Ewing before they note on you again you just find water on the fire than you but this year's updated model that's 2018 may include hands-free Siri access for starters it isn't clear if a software update could bring Siri to the first gen air ponds though I was eleven point two point six I was almost going to just go through the number one one to six is the latest update to come out and fix something that went terribly wrong on an iPhone a bug that caused a certain character in the in telugu language to walk out users out of messages whatsapp Facebook whatever other word miss with any lines that they know has been sexton's may recall it that will appease autocorrects nephews in earlier editions of iOS 11 as well Qualcomm has rejected Broadcom latest offer for acquisitions yes Jennifer raising the bid once it has now gone down by four billion dollars to one hundred seventeen billion dollars which is still a huge sum of money that no one will ever see realistically in their lives Broadcom argues has welcomed UPS its acquisition price of NXP Semiconductors that the blue reflects negative legend attack against the shareholders interested to qualcomm consists though that is forty four billion dollar ten forehead MSP is a valuation to the chips in horizontal Rock'em started in all gone they don't we got the first wheel John thirty years the Android enterprise recommended devices program that has announced the first set of devices certified for we use a lot of such devices are said to be suitable for workplace and employment with zero touch enrollment and carry on and lump cell service related regions LG has announced that as it Tunes the third one and the joysticks for the enterprise program market it will also update which will prepare for and of development for its wake Martin company will no longer support its Android and iOS apps as it has been really difficult with most recognition areas to describe us they want acquired decline of the first generation software tickets for 100 million dollars in just get yourself dude have you noticed like in Romania because I notice it it with us all the time like I'm probably driving behind a motorcycle and the reason why I can't go any faster is because the guy is checking his phone no no usually in my country just people with bikes in scooter just go way faster than you do then the middle of a straight dude it's just they're checking their phone while they're on a motorcycle and these are like the clutch based manual motors I have traffic enforcement in Honduras oh it's it's it's a good first on you because you can pay for the bribe yeah but then for the average bus driver forget it let's go back up to iPhone se what do you guys think you're looking forward to one of these things and do you think June might be the appropriate you did see it June of spring ish 2016 iPhone se so the tip is so there are two tips one is for the feature of batch of iPads which are two and then it's in the case of the iPhone se but they're they're not from the same source and they're claiming WWDC but apparently it's not like if the product is not ready now because it seems like if they're not changing the design it's just getting less bezel point 2 inch screen increase for how much Apple sells that iPhone se I'm sure they would it's just that's probably one other it's not their best-selling iPhone but you know it's it's did it I know a lot of people that love their s ease they don't want to move away from them and they that device deserves a refresh so think about it I mean the company still retains the iPod lineup which is still using an a5 chip I believe I do believe that this is like one of those legacy products that the company is gonna continue pushing it's not going anywhere it's just the rumors were that we were getting an iPhone 10 like the vise forget about that I think we're looking at this the wrong way like let's look at the facts when the original of the original the iPhone se first generation came out what was Apple's flagship it was the the Sarah 6 or 6s yes and they recycled the five for DSC now that we have the iPhone 8 and the iPhone 10 it would make a lot of sense to recycle the iPhone 6 or the iPhone 7 as DSE - yeah bring a fresher design to an SE class phone which would be cheaper and then that would warrant a raise in price tag I mean 500 ish has to be has to be below 550 oh absolutely considering what angry the offers for up to $500 yes and and considering the fact that you're not getting top-of-the-line specs it's the a9 not the a not v8 infusion maybe it's the sorry the a insides the eight-time not be a 11 by us yeah it's the alcohol sorry it's it's a are capable yes okay it's just not as good this is supposed to be carry over because you know iPhone 10 profits record profits biggest progress in the world third quarter for one quarter right now they're they're struggling and unit sales are going down there we're staredown because more than the trend lines prior to because I think that for the galaxy I can buy a new MacBook for that price it's just let's face it and let's be honest here right now one thousand dollars for a phone makes no sense which is which is pretty much what probably Samsung will ask for yes my blush this is the cracks like is this gonna be a good carry is this gonna bring back yes I was just at the cost of the average sales price no I think that whoever wanted to buy the iPhone 10 or as they I don't know limited edition 10 years of iPhone Steve Jobs memorabilia that cream already bought and there's not going to be another iPhone se so whoever bought it will probably hold onto it for 3 4 or 5 years until it breaks and the iPhone se too in my opinion will now I listen as an iPhone user since 3GS I can't tell you how disappointed I am so obviously I reviewed it and for iPhone users yes this is the best iPhone you can buy but I disagree with it I I'm sorry I for me it was hard to go from the 8th to the 10 because the 8 does not have the beautiful display and whatever you want but it's got the most insane battery life for an iPhone and then you go to the 10 and then it's it's crap I know I know yours is different Tony you got 0 apps but like for the average user who has more than the stock apps you're not in that list I'm just saying if it happens I believe it will be a recycling of a fresher design like the iPhone 6 6 s yes yes if it happens I don't I don't and so the rumors are that the design of the of the se is kept there just reducing the Bessel's on this which would be a big mistake it was just an increase in screen size exactly Lakes gonna work but it's not clear if that I think they'll do it I mean the whole purpose of the iPhone 10 is get a larger screen on a smaller form factors so it makes sense for them to do it with the SE 2 and let's not forget the rumors about the glass back and Apple wants to go all in and world this source says metal so maybe not then if this source says metal I'm saying this this rumor is not true well there's only one way to find out let's go I've never used their butts I do want yeah but I never use their probably we could skip the topic and just go to the next one anybody I do it's just no nevermind bear in mind every single person that I know that uses air pots loves them I guess they don't see themselves in the mirror that often because first of all it's just the fit I don't get me wrong for those people that love air pots that's great i it's just I've tried other options from Jabra from you know the samsung gear icon x20 18s which provide true Wireless sure they don't have the w1 chip which pretty much is only useful when you pair the air pots and then after that that's it you know I got the designers is is just like really Johnny you've done so many great things Johnny I but that this is one of those that's just not it I like the rumors where we're getting water resistance I don't understand how the first version that was too late yeah I'm like really like every single other wire true wireless headphones our water is that glucose tracking heart rate monitoring what that's going on behind the scenes of them can't do what I'm probably part of a small very small which is probably not the right way to put it a minority who doesn't really care about what it does behind the scenes or how it looks for me it's all about the sound and I'm sorry Apple but your earplugs sound like tin cans and this is to my ears of course but there are so many options out there which sound better yeah I I have to agree with that I again we can skip the topic is don't get me wrong I have nothing against the people that own them I've nothing against the people that are anticipating them I just can you can we please get that that like little pogo stick design can we get rid of that and just come up with something smarter I'm sure Apple can do that like for you to get like true swimming earphones the design is like the weirdest thing you require it require a separate module and it's just I didn't have problems but I don't use autocorrect and I think in my personal opinion this but I might be the exception but for me that's not important for me it's important to see that and this this we know that for years Apple has been committed to fixing and improving constantly on iOS yeah they're nobody's perfect I mean it happens there but you know they identify a bug they push out a thick sweater that's one a week or one a month but they are committed to improving the user experience or it's not just you know it's not just about that and it's not just about being reactionary you have to put in the keyway I get it I get it I mean for what you're praying for what you're paying for something like an iPhone 10 the last thing more care less I get it but men name I mean you have never seen any and this is not me defending Apple by the way you have never seen an app update on anything like it doesn't matter if it's Android or iOS where the beginning title of the description of the app update doesn't start with bug fixes yeah like every single company has bugs they just exist that's the thing yeah you know and the whole jailbreak community exists existed in the past because of bugs is it's not every system is opposed to I'm gonna ask you guys a question this is just a personal you know it's funny when Tony looks at my phones and he's always like dude you have so many apps installed on your phone do you really use them and I don't know I don't know about you guys but I feel that there is this app apocalypse happening where what it's just know so here's the thing like I understand the whole concept of developers wanting to bank more meaning we're not gonna sell you a game but we're gonna charge you in app purchases up your hiney and it just I'm sorry I if you think about it I pay for YouTube TV plus Spotify plus Amazon Prime once you start adding up all Micha bills exactly exactly and all developers are starting to do that in a way where it just becomes annoying I mean I've important you're pouring on choruses of everything so I didn't mind for example the whole concept of paying $10 for Mosu per Mario run I didn't mind it but then but then the app didn't really deliver on the fact that I paid $10 for it but I can't play with it if I'm offline so if I'm on a plane I can't use it and that's really when I played most of those games and so here's the thing I feel that many app developers are just so concerned with the whole concept of making money and I get it it's a business but it's just irritating people up to the point where I notice that people just stick to a certain batch of apps and they don't leave them and so obviously this is not good for business when it comes to Apple because they depend on that 30 percent they depend on that 30 percent in their App Store in revenue you know yeah yeah and Apple music hasn't really gave the popularity of Spotify well there's some whisperings there there's a growth rate interchange going on that's apples exception faster than Spotify the boolean vaccine with actual numbers when they eventually let's move on to something that you might know as a person that has been to Hawaii San Diego all other places that Qualcomm is announced they're being nosy because loading innovations because they are important innovation the 3gpp announced their standards for 5g they pounced on that they can work on the next with the Boeing for years now there's this jockeying going around because when broadcaster will lodge itself into the situation quantify the Qualcomm I'll say number two sandwich there's a there's a lot of things that that have been going on for many companies we know that Broadcom is not a US company while Qualcomm is and so their their domicile and Singapore but they're but okay so it's not a US company and let's face it I mean let's face it I mean how many how many companies provide like right now innovation comes from very few companies in the world and I have to say this I mean from everything that I've seen from anything that we've seen since the days of CDMA call come has been it from modems to the you know the creation of CDMA and then pretty much pioneering everything that made LTE possible how come is a major player and it's it's interesting to go to their campus and just to see that there are D is probably at least ten years ahead of anything that will ever see I've seen products from drones like they're doing more 5g travels they're gonna be the next listen it's just I've seen them like their their demos their demos include anything from smart driving they're investing in R&D and just about anything you can think of not to be and so going back to your book going back to your point I I did it's not like if I notice Holcomb employees being like oh yeah we're we're waiting to see what happens with Broadcom no I see a company that's like oh yeah this is happening but then it's like for them its Qualcomm is Qualcomm and they're working on me welcome what it is and right now let's face it I mean the major push in 5g which is pretty much gonna start next year we've got spectrum coming by the end of this year we are most likely gonna have smartphones powered by that X 50 by next year so Qualcomm is pretty much at the head of it so I I do understand Broadcom is intent to buy and obviously if they can get a majority in the stakeholders that's fine xx what I'm saying is if stakeholders would wouldn't accept to sell Qualcomm this would be probably the worst time like fine with 5g around the corner Qualcomm pretty much is providing the whole IP that makes this possible and so would you really sell your company at its best performing exchange no no don't be sure don't base your impressions on the whole rumors of well no not on the whole rumors on the whole lawsuit with Apple and everything no no Holcomb as a company as what they are literally I mean their their operation is mainly based on selling reality to deal that has in our sector period period tech world period like here's the thing I mean maybe a public company but I mean how much of their how much of their existence really depends on on shareholders just think about just how much money the company is making through IP alone just the fact that every single product that we have on this table has at least one Qualcomm chip so you know their sales alone are what I'm saying is what I'm saying is I don't even understand why I call calm is a public company because they kind of don't need to I mean this is just funny but I did not know much of this until I participated in the first event and I'm like you guys are kidding me I you know I walked into the room and I had no clue that Qualcomm was pretty much in charge of building CDMA I had no clue I just walked in and then I saw the Moto with the Motorola v6 do you remember that time and then the v6 TI and you just you know all CDMA technology and then what they did with LTE is just just their R&D alone think about it which are the companies that are thriving right now at mobile samsung how much do they invest in R&D they invest a crazy amount of money in R&D Huawei they invest a crazy amount of money in R&D ziti when it comes to mobile spectrum so did Nike Alan Microsoft so did Nakia as well and you know Apple obviously they've got their own thing but let's just face it I mean when it comes to innovation in the United States I mean even if Broadcom would would be able to convince investors do you really think that the Federal Trade Commission will allow something like that standard there was you remember that it was TDMA or city ma was gsm cdma became one of the most famous ones through horizons let's not forget that companies buyout each other or merge for several reasons among which are also the following just to put a competitor out of business true just to obtain there which is the reason why you have the Federal Trade Commission that's obviously looking to avoid that why why the Google purchase Motorola just for intellectual property might be Microsoft and not yet if anything which lets lets wonder this I mean right now every single Android phone that we have is powered by a Qualcomm chip every single one safe for DX inocentes some others true but even even that I mean but fine what I'm saying is if it's not the modem it's this processor what guarantee do we have that is going to continue because especially with that I mean you know every company has got their own mystique well I'm just gonna say I I I hope that Qualcomm continues doing what they're doing the more that I've been exposed to what the company has done over time the more I'm like let's continues all right I hope this continues well no no anything that has less than four wheels is not for me funny you should bring it up I meant two years ago here in Barcelona a couple of buildings down the street we went with that awful joke you remember which one three guys on a scooter and a selfie stick [Laughter] listen I mean Android is ubiquitous it works on anything I have an Android power projector there are Android powered toasters refrigerators that can yeah I mean I like the fact that the that the operating system is so versatile you can apply it to anything what I am right a scooter dude I mean in New York City you kind of need tools like that I mean there's just no parking so it I'm not saying it doesn't make sense I'm saying it just so long as the price is right and they figure out a way for it not to be intrusive and truly smart why not I mean I I have nothing against it no I was about to ask does it improve your life I mean seriously you know car Tony you're in Romania where below I'm in New York I have all the services of everything I'm riding on a scooter okay so why buy angular you have a does that make me my ride my bike okay so that's a valid question it's a valid question but in cities like New York that's the reason why concepts like city bike work you pay a hundred dollars a year and you have a bicycle that you're able to grab it and as long as you know where you're going but obviously here's the thing I mean New York City alone is just such a complex city where if you don't know what it's like to try to grab the e train oh I'm never going or the C train debating this Peter at peak like you can't even scooter no I'm not debating the scooter I'm debating the Android powered version of the scooter well why not no it's no use on a scooter I mean it's it's illegal to text and drive it's probably illegal to do a lot of things I get while driving in a car not to mention a scooter that's a good point that's a good point what's the added value it's it's still hard to predict it's just values that good software of any sort that allows GPS or navigation and to see it it's essentially hackable the page it's just I guess that's a good thing true but you know I let's hope this circuit is there anything wrong with the whole concept of Android being everywhere I mean I think that that was like it is in my mind it is because we've been hearing all of these reports that Android pretty much like every other OS but since Android is a huge chunk of the market more reports come from Android that Android is vulnerable don't get me wrong every OS is but because of their spread in the market they're more vulnerable than others we actually participated in a meeting today we can't talk about but you know there was a lot of talk over just how the just the dominance of Google and services and and just how much companies want to avoid that there's nothing wrong with the great service that the Google provides it's just the fact that you know they they're pretty much everywhere and so I get your point Tony I mean what is the point of an Android powered toaster or you know it's just funny when I see those Samsung announcements of your new Android powered refrigerator yeah look wait you Twitter on the fridge and I'm like really like do you do you imagine yourself just doing something like that nobody nobody does it's about the ecosystem Android already has the crystals recognized it's about the interface which is very familiar unless you really really take the pains too so we were having this conversation today as we were commuting to another one of those meetings that we can't talk about today pretty much the old day just one more thought just one more circuit casting thought now you wake up in the morning you commute to the office or to school or to campus and you forget your phone back at home heaven forbid you're not trackable by certain people but yes water your your trackable by your girlfriend sponsored message looking to move through the club don't know where to begin check out the podcast advocates answer questions in the weeds and talk to the GCP team's customers and partners about best practices from security to machine learning and more hear from technologists all across Google about trends and cool things happening with technology you can learn more and subscribe to the podcast at G Pepco slash GCP podcast and work back alright so we're here in Barcelona for a reason right right for the something called mobile world communist I heard it's addicted to that kind of had to fly lots of miles just to get here and enjoy it continues being my favorite show I it continues being that task where I convinced entity that he has to come the year three year after year year after year all the beef the beef is this is not a culture well the problem is most of it is still in Fargo recording we can't really talk about it so I guess we won't be able to share much of it until the next podcast Jules when does this go live this should go live basic same Easter Monday 6 a.m. Eastern which is after the Huawei event right after the Samsung oven so we can talk about the Huawei event we can talk about that awesome awesome laptop we've seen you and I liked because hey it's gonna be yesterday's news by Monday yeah just don't upload of these earlier true all right chief scheduler is it's a service time I like a windows powered laptop just by looking at it just listening good speakers and just reading the spec it was really nice this is the big book X Pro fog on last year's maple X which already hired like a decent running that was always first laptop which was already a pretty decent remnant so now we're seeing this crazy new design limited bezels the camera in order to accommodate the bezels yes to fight against privacy which is amazing oh yeah that's oh here's the thing I guess some innovators so what do you do so just imagine a really thin laptop that's uh that's very pretty I mean it's very well designed but they bring their full vision display to this laptop so that's that's awesome I mean that on its own is great but then you know that the concept was like where is the where is the selfie camera like the the video so where is the webcam where's that webcam and so everybody was like oh it's behind the screen oh they figured out a technology other than that no it turns out that so by the way I have this Dell Precision Pro that if you're saying this up to be a disappointment you know right with your words well but here's the thing here's the thing so I have a Dell precision Pro which is pretty much an XPS 15 with much more powerful specs and it's got the camera at the bottom and I feel it it's like the most Awkward design because you you're typing and you're just blocking the camera with your fingers this camera is baked into a key within the keyboard there is a key in the function area where you press it and you pull out the camp it's a spring load it's just like the the flashes on certain cameras pretty much pops yeah and so and so here's the thing and when they when they shut it off I'm like oh this is this is bad like I was like this is really I'm gonna be watching up my nose oh really I'm gonna have to be cleaning up my nose all the time like alright fine you should do every so often but the thing about it is when they started talking about things like privacy I was like oh that's true I mean a lot of people watch the Snowden movie and are like oh yeah putting stickers on their camera and so here's the thing no more behind a camera is not available unless you push it out there's literally no way for the camera to be activated by anything unless you explicitly pull out Pitka push out the camera and push it back in does it actually activate change the logic no it'sit's springload of the thing about it is it's it's it doesn't really work on it even if it would activate itself it would just show you you see a nice image of the main board exactly exactly so I thought you know I looked at that and I was like okay that's not a bad idea that's not a bad idea okay yeah yeah Ruff's applying for this yeah perhaps the wrong way for this the design is great we saw a new mini app at m5 and the 8.4 and the 10 points okay so I did the mini iPad last year at Aoife and I was sad that I have to return it not because I like Android tablets just those speakers were insane like for you know talent server content consumption is the reason why I like the iPad yeah so this is the reason why I like the iPad pro so much because like the speakers are insane they're great but that media that was really good and so this new one is great the larger variant has a stylus support with tilt and everything which I wasn't really able to test in the demo but fine it also has keyboard capabilities the keyboards not included but then going back to the topic of content consumption and speakers do those squat speakers on that maple yeah they were insane like I was like wait how do you make so much great sound come out of that little thing the MacBook does that by the way like the MacBook has great speakers but like they make you not even need to carry a portable speaker and since this will go live on Monday after the other embargo I'm just looking at an article on pocket now published on May 4 2012 by our esteemed ex colleague Michael Fisher currently mr. mobile the headline goes like phone names are out of control and if you guys remember if you got to remember all those crazy Samsung Galaxy S to Epic 4G Touch phones oh my god let me give you the LG please 30 that's where I was that's what I was fishing for where's the box it's C LG v 30 bloody 30s Plus think thank you thank you I mean without this okay so obviously I'm preparing a video that's gonna go live in a few hours so by the time this podcast goes live the video would already be live it's literally only 30 it that's what it is it's got new color options 62 bytes of RAM and storage options that start with 128 gigs and then 256 and absolutely everything else hardware wise at least it is the same phone when it comes to software we've got Android 8 that's great finally LG thank you but the the I guess the most interesting part is what they're doing with the camera so on one okay so on one end they got this bright mode where so the bright mode pretty much enables what I think it was the HTC u ultra that did that where it had a 16 megapixel camera but it would create a 4 megapixel photo downsample Thursday it wasn't a damn sample that was actually actually used the pencil it wouldn't come from our line it would create ultrapixels pretty much very much so / by you know and square it would be in the square it would it would allow that so that's that's one thing the bright mode and apparently that bright mode works also in video haven't been able to confirm we were we just power down the phone and we're gonna play with it but the second one is up just like the HTC can do that it also has a feature that we've seen from Huawei where you point the camera so they talked a lot about AI and what they're doing but they I what they're doing is pretty much what wall we already did with the cure 970 n and if Google and Google lens was trying to so here's the only thing that's interesting for those of you that have been following the news of the Snapdragon 845 really these are features that are that were coming with the 845 but LG is pulling them off at the 8:35 so that's interesting that you don't have to wait yeah you don't have to wait over the next few days for the galaxy as mine to bring that I'm just building their narrow machine yeah and it's all baked into the chip like it's they doesn't really depend on the clouds that's all these are all great things but going back to the topic it's another underestimated LG need 30 s plus thank you thank you you're welcome I mean so I so I like the name think queue I was like or think or think yeah I'm sorry I like that that's that's a cool name concept could we just give me thank you and just could we remove the LG v 3s plus whatever like really when there's branding in the box that also says you plus like what you plus is a carrier which is Oh snap snap snap snap scream burn what oh geez this after two hours of operation well this is the always-on display it's going away but hold on oh let's let's turn it off again let's turn it off let's turn out it's image retention fine it's gone it's gone but it remains there [Laughter] alright I'm sad I was so yeah and here's the thing like there's so many things about the V 30 that would have made more sense with the 845 processor like the 845 processor supports a wider color gamut it supports you know it has its neural and separate neural engine but most important it supports 10 bit camera sensors so for those of you that didn't know like the LTV 30 brings a 10 bit camera sensor but the processors are not capable of taking advantage of it but let's not forget this V 30s is not the 2018 LG flagship and if LG has plans for a flagship this year I mean if I were LG and I would have a flagship whatever its name is downgrade on the line I might be looking for the full 845 for that I'm not saying I'm not saying it's it's just this the whole concept and the purpose of this phone is I feel a little out of its time I feel that the 845 Snapdragon will be more capable of doing what LG wants to do with the phone you know there's a lot of people who who might have criticized LG for this I don't know leapfrogging and skipping the flagship now for a point iteration this is this is so good Apple does that yes and again this is up dude this is up to the company to decide what their policy is I for one I think this is a good move because I really like the g6 last year and I think that LG made a big mistake in announcing the g6 so much time before the Galaxy s8 that by the time the s8 came and stole all the headlines and the bus the g6 nobody remembered it was the first 19 by 8 or 18 by 9 screen the to island 2 by 1 screen the first round of cornered phone of 2017 let's face it I mean LG you know with all the love I have for them because I do you know that I love their televisions and I love that what they do in this place I'm sorry LG but I'm sorry the Samsung invest so much money in marketing there's just no way that you're gonna garner the same amount of popularity if you play the Shadow Warrior here I don't even think LG is directly competing with Samsung I mean that they're they're from the same country yes they make pretty phones but they're not direct competitors I think that LG I don't know the current numbers but last I checked it was the fourth or fifth om with Apple Samsung and guava being in the lead so I think that LG has yeah I think LG has another fight you know I feel like ok so we have a new president the new president was announced a few weeks o for the mobile division I think that was necessary because the property here's the thing for Samsung they're semiconductor business isn't business their TV business is a business their Android power refrigerator businesses of business all these things receive the amount of limelight that they should deserve from marketing can and everything sadly LG is good about their televisions they're great about their you know their the the way they provide hardware for other partners like Apple but for them smartphones are an afterthought this is like you know it's like in the case of ZTE I had no clue that ZT was so large and it wasn't until I went to China that I realized that really for them they're making smart phones but they're not providing the same level of importance to that business as they are to spectrum and so you know I have to hand it to companies like again Samsung wall is another one that their business when it comes to spectrum is insane it's it's they do that networking so that's great that's important that's what is needed for us the consumer to use that spectrum but on the consumer side I think the first step let's face it I mean it's marketing in this world in any world the consumers are driven by how much they know about a product and that is marketing obviously as reviewers we can only do so much I mean our fan base is mainly niche based I mean it's it's really just the guinea mostly geeks like us obviously but the average consumer which is really you know let's look at dude I mean we've gone through all the all the metro system here in Buffalo now what ads do you see on the metro system no selfie photos dot on the iPhone oh yeah I can attest I can assess it that the portrait mode on iPhones sucks after anything that you use this well I'm sorry but the pixel just makes anything look bad if this one like this portrait mode were launched like two years ago it would have made sense but ever since Google just made this thing just this insane bump in photography but point being advertisement from Apple is insane advertisement from Samsung I mean plus I Catalunya they've got like this boo where people gonna go experience anything based anything Sampson and it's right in front of a half across the street from a cross the street from the Apple Store and beside of a vessel so unless you're aggressive about product placement which I agree it's a lot of investment you can't become a Samsung or a long way without that it's hilarious like it'll do this right now you go to absolutely every single Airport in the country and it's full of Huawei may 10 Pro ads it's full of it up to the point where we like the whole concept of huawei phones being cheap that existed years ago no longer exists like people actually aspire to get the p10 or that they may send pro like the people are actually like dude I want a mate like what a beautiful design like what beautiful this but what do you think that comes from that comes from advertisement of course and I'm gonna say but that was stolen you probably see you know what the biggest problem about Jules losing a bag is not really the aftermath no I would say obviously losing a bag is sad and I'm so sorry for you Jules the most difficult part is finding new clothes because Jules is about the size of this apartment window yeah and this apartment windows like really tall and really wide what so you can imagine what it was like to take this guy out to find him clothes that was that was the u.s. but it's Zahra you're like a curtain sighs sighs you can earn your bed sheet sighs these feet long drapes of pressure such as a tripod that now I have to use Tony tell me something is where did you get that tripod I mean it's the size of my car my pickup trucks large you told me to buy one which is to learn at me can't be shown on video and you're left with what so and let's face it it is I mean it's a project fight has been behaving like we're using both t-mobile and AM project five-year like seriously if you are not using project five I would highly suggest you give it a try I work for hours for sure no but I mean from so here's the thing protection here's the thing no but let's let's focus on use services so the biggest the biggest problem of project five before the bill protection was really the fact that it wasn't an unlimited service it cost it would cost $10 a gigabyte and so obviously once you start doing the math the more gigabytes you consume four people on unlimited plans it didn't make sense but here's the thing like from from a guy that spends a lot of time in New York the biggest challenge is for you to have a network that works and so the cool thing about having fly is it jumps through three networks and so two networks that I'm sorry is that a you butcher that design and I've got point Jules you can also see full details on all the stories that we've
