and good morning good afternoon good evening everybody and welcome to the last bucket now live episode of 2013 i'm anton the United managing editor and i'm joined today by the editor-in-chief brandon minimun all the way from the USA I Brennan hello it's it's been a long time since I've been here but Tony said if I come on the live he will give me a treat and I want to know if the treat is what I said yes it is you said you give me a tree why does the tree what well I'll figure it out maybe I'll shoot you over a liter of blanca what is glinka is like moonshine right it says yeah the Romania motion so gentlemen we because since we don't have a lady not just yet gentlemen we will have a shorter episode this time because it's probably the last time we are seeing each other in 2013 it's going to be a 45 minute episode and we're going to talk about all things 2013 recaps and your prediction so without any further ado I know I know Brandon love this this sentence I'm gonna hand it over to him yes alright so I kind of want to hear from you guys you know we did a series of articles about our biggest disappointments of 2013 who we thinks going to disappoint next year who we think is going to win next year and I kind of need from you guys and know what you're expecting to happen next year it's a huge year in mobile because we're going to get a redesigned iphone we're going to get a redesigned galaxy s5 and a galaxy note 3 with a 2 year refresh cycle HTC there on the the opposite end of that they're going to do the the smaller refresh for the HTC One to as we're calling it so big year in mobile so let's go with Baldwin let me see if I can unmute him yes and you should be able to talk now ok good morning hey morning everyone Hayward where are you from so I'm originating from Chicago but I went here in California for vacation so it was almost seven quite about seven seven in the morning here so you can I don't you did you get up early for the irony of other things to do uh actually I am switching the thing working this nice so he's here for alive yeah I hear so what to kind of frame the context what what phone are you using so I had an HTC One for tmobile last May and I held it for six seven months and then I I gotta know I i'm using my no i don't know i look upon this this is a this is a moto x for tmobile also that would that I picked out out unfortunately a week from when they mentioned they had the $350 or under fifty dollar discount oh so so you're using the Moto X right now which is a phone that there's just so much love for that phone but and because there's so much love and because it's such an important phone for motorola and google they're going to upgrade it next year where do you think the upgrades will come do you think it'll be screen resolution or battery life or more customization stuff well i was i was hoping for more about that earlier basically my uh my workflow tim wolfe not meeting demands but i'd like i'd like my phone last like my old old brick phones three days so well and since they had the moat droid maxx for verizon the I want them to bring them to bring that the Moto X Baldwin or whatever device I've got some advice to make your phone last longer stop using it just use it less yes and it's it's funny though because like I'm sure you've had days Baldwin where you use your phone you know to check some email make some calls like moderate use and at the end of the day you still got a little juice left and it's it's not that bad or or do you just find that like every day it's just it's dead by 1pm well let's start well the thing is I've started using smartphones with uh the galaxy speak and that was a disappointment and I manage my expectations super for smartphone since then but so I you know that feeling when before you could actually last your your phone three days before a charge and I'd like I mean you've improved screen the solution you've improved processors stick to that for probably for just a year and use the use I guess even a Snapdragon 400 or 600 and right bring your battery in two three four hundred thousand of 400,000 really am three or four thousand five yeah I would love I would love a 300,000 milliamp hour battery that was and we probably start off a jet plane out of that yeah you could start of many cars with such a large battery so so do you think that there's going to be a focus on battery life in in 2014 and if so where will the savings come from I don't know uh well with what are really doing so so good with battery life on their phones they should be pushing that instead of 40 or I don't know even to gain for that matter so you think that instead of maybe going forward with battery technology and having smaller and larger capacity batteries OEM should probably drop the specs and go with lower specs but the same battery in order to get longer better life is that yeah yes yes I mean I'm go back to that time when we we had our phones last three days oh yeah I didn't I hope we would complain about them being like slow well they're not flow right now whoa there there was a point I mean we there's like a line drawn in the sand now where this year phones almost every flagship every flagship phone that was released Snapdragon 600 or 800 is just fast it's it's nice fast it responds as fast as you can so there's really no need to go to a higher higher spec processor unless you increase the screen resolution which is going to have the next a 20-foot is it 25 24 40 x 1440 resolution at 2k is coming yester 2560 x 1440 they already have about that opal and 78 thing or something right there's some phone the n7 is is the tablet but out there there is one phone out there that has that insane resolution well we want to talk more about screen resolution because I'm I'm really excited about 20 I got to get the exact dimensions before 2560 x 1440 it's the same as my 27-inch imac okay let me say again tits 2560 x 1440 and that's the capital q HD which is quarter 4k or something like that all right well we're gonna we're gonna thank you for for coming on baldwin as is nice talking much i appreciated happy holidays and happy new year happy new year babe I like it Brendon d do you think that we we will this year start complained again about the so-called two key I mean to K is really full HD because depending on who you ask people regard 1920 x 1080 s2 case so 2560 x 1440 is not really a 2k but it's as they say half a 4k now with 720 going 1080 we said that there's no need but we said that from qhd to 720p to do you think will complain again going from 1080p to that so-called 2k well you know people are wrong about the jump from 720p to 1080p because there is absolutely a difference and and if you put the other side taking care of it and and if you put two phones side-by-side 720p screen and a 1080p screen with like the difference is 330 PPI versus like 400 PPI 420 PPI you can still tell the difference I think Steve Jobs was wrong when he said that over 300 PPI is more than enough because the more I look at an HTC One for example i look at my iphone a 326 ppi and i can i can tell a difference it's not high resolution but really from 1080p to 2k I come back in a year and and want to punch myself but I can't imagine that you can tell the difference you know like what I mean I mean text text might be slightly sharper but but video is gonna look probably the same you know we were talking about just that i think it was in the last week's episode and we were asking some technical questions whether regular 1080p content displayed on a full screen 2k display would be inflated and hence smoother but i think we'll have to get Joe on that well you know what I think might be interesting is you know remember upscaling how held DVDs which of course are like in less than HD resolution were upscale to 1080p with the progressive scan DVD players that were out and you really didn't tell a difference it still looked like crap I mean the source has to be in high resolution but people are saying that upscaling to 4k because software has improved because you have to be able to fill in the detail kind of algorithmic lee because there is no detail to start people are saying that that's a lot better so maybe maybe going from 1080p to upscale 2k as something that might actually look okay and then there are the OEM applications like sony used to do with the sharpening the edges and and stuff like that let's see what hi Otto thinks about this because I know that he's a little bit more knowledgeable than than the usual Tony I've gone hey isn't awesome good to have you back yeah that's gonna be back what do you think about this old 1080 p qk Corey let me take you to Devon's up your phone and um well you know I think it uh I don't think there's really going to be much of a difference that you can tell on a phone in terms of in terms of you know seeing pixels like you can between 720 and 1080 ah but I watched a video from marques Brownlee a couple days ago about you talking about the Oppo find 7 and and uh just briefly touched on 2 K versus can any fee on a phone and he made the point that you know it's not just about being able to tell the pic from the parts yeah you can you can see a different quality in the screen whether you can tell officials or not it's kind of like he said you know he said it's like looking at a 1080p TV versus a 4k TV it from a few feet away you can't see the pixels on either one but you can tell the poor kid looks better I think I think that's because like the 4k TV is newer and newer stuff has better processing in it it's got better panel technology so I think that's a good point that the quality of 2k panels will be better maybe just because they're coming out a year after 1080p I think it is is that what he's suggesting yeah I think to a point I mean it's a he she also made a point that you know it's it's probably not going to be the first the first 2k phones probably are not going to be the best phones in the same way the first 1080p phones like a droid DNA were not the best phones they just didn't have the horsepower to you know to keep up with that because the the processors and everything at the time were made for 1080p displays we're probably going to have that same kind of effect with 2k display so things like the Opera fine 7 are probably not going to be the best phones but I mean they'll be a great starting point and then you know probably in that nearing the later half of 2014 we're probably gonna see some really good at 2k to high Crom think I'm sorry gonna have to go ahead I don't I personally think that the BPI rating on the phones will make it or break it because it all comes down to pixel density a 4.7 inch 1080p display like the one on the HTC One could probably have a better overall image then say seven inch or nine inch 2k display I'm not saying a six-inch 2k phablet but it also the BPI rating effects directly not only the image but the sharpness of content being displayed of course stuff aside like technology tft-lcd vs super amoled or contrast or brightness or color reproduction talking only about pixel density I think that's the main thing which om's have to mail I want to ask potentially a stupid question and this may not be an answerable question our vision people you know 2020 vision if you could ascribe a ppi to what you see I wonder what it would be I really do I mean maybe you want to find out the the real-life BPI yeah like at what point do you look at a picture unlike a big display of this and you cannot tell the difference Orson's real life aside like LG's TFT LCD versus super-mo I have you know surprised I was hearing myself at one point talking i'm not i think i think somebody covered that one time and said it was somewhere around 300 maybe 330 really well then like yeah you're right and i think that if we recall the the iphone with the retina display that's what Tim could try to emphasize that's why they called it actually the retina display because they said that that gets as close as possible to the higher limit of human vision and it's true a 2020 vision most people can't see above 300 ppi but some people have Superman vision 20 15 2012 and they can say you know they can see pixels on the HTC One hi I'm so before you leave your prediction for the first 4k phone when are we gonna see it earth 4k phone um did you see how but it how quickly Brandon just jumped in and just forgot about 2k yeah let's get skip past it already come on I mean you know oppo seems to be the pusher of the newer screen resolution so possibly Oppo or maybe a smaller company like you know who like your company that just came out with the first 2k phone before op oh yeah yeah well what company is that I think it was up oh and then it was HTC with a butterfly oh it's like some no-name company that just came out with the yeah that's the just couple of weeks ago you just insulted a lot of people Brendan oh well you know it's true it's a no-name company it might be good Appa was a no-name company and they they're doing pretty pretty well this year a lot of a lot of good press I have to thank you very much for for joining us yeah thanks for having me um hopefully i can see you guys at CES yes we will be there just drop us a tweet and we will definitely meet up awesome until then have an awesome awesome you here yeah thanks for having me on guys take care man see ya heah Tony before we continue on what do you traditionally do on New Year's Eve uh eat a lot drink a lot party a lot not necessarily in this particular order but yeah that's the meat of it uh that would be a good progression actually to it to assure that you feel okay in the morning so do you go to like do they have like like parties that everyone has a party and there's a all the time a restaurant or a club who host a party and party actually starts around noon when you're with the family and you're having the lunch or dinner and then you go to visit your friends and then you gather with your friends somewhere home you eat any drink again and then at a certain point in time nine or 10 or 11pm you go to your reservation and then you continue partying and next morning on the first you wake up and then you pick up where you left off and so on so I shouldn't expect to hear from you on the first well I'll probably be a little bit hangover on my flight to Vegas on the second but I'm counting on myself being strong all right just stay safe I as good as long as I'm not driving the plane yeah um let somebody else please don't drag the point all right let's talk to Aaron and let me find him in the list and unmute okay good morning good morning Erin what do you have behind you it looks like a bios box of some kind no it's just a book shelf where I keep all my spare computer parts nice while I was talking about the telecommunications nailed to the wall on that wooden plank oh thank you yeah that's the stuff yeah that where your internet comes in it is I met my uh my job so and and just just for me to to feed my vanity what is your internet speed haha 75 down 35 up okay so you just fed my vanity and I have that I have that exact change need and if i could i guess you guys have verizon fios there mm-hmm and if you do speedtest.net you get like 80 down yeah it's wonderful it's it's crazy I mean there was such a jump in bandwidth from like 2006 to like eight and you can get we just replaced a t1 line that was one point five megabits down and up I remember back in did you use Napster back in the day no I'm not that old haha well so so Napster you got to select your connection speed because it determined how fast your download and upload was and they had they had dsl T 1 and T 3 and T 3 was like it was like a thousand dollars per month and I think actually the speed of t3 back then was like ten down it's just unreal how far we've come anyway Aaron we're talking about 2014 in 2013 who what company disappointed you in 2013 um HTC I I read a lot of your reviews on the HTC One and in the subsequent devices and I really I like them but I just never have been able to get on board with their software um and just it they make a beautiful phone but I feel like their software really just turns people away yeah I you know I kind of agree with you what really helped was when the google play edition HTC one came out because the rom was leaked and so you could get any HTC one root it and put on the google play edition rom would that make you happier haha um yes probably would I actually have a galaxy note 2 right now um and I I keep it with pretty much stock software it's rooted and and all that but it's still running TouchWiz um I'm you up can you get a rom for the note 2 that's stock Android but also maintains the basic functionality of the S Pen mmm not really no that's a shame that would be a great clip yeah would like even if you didn't have air view and all those other things if you could just use the stylus as an input method with stock Android that would be pretty great I think I think there's a couple roms that will let you use it like just to open an application but you can't really use it to for writing or anything like that no pressure sensitivity or anything like that yeah let me ask you something Aaron you talked about the software side of HTC phones do you think that the software end of HTC phones is the only thing HTC has to change for next year in order to succeed hmm become argument this because i think that software is as brandon implied changeable you can flash roms you can do anything with it plus HTC is so invested in sense 5 and sense 5.5 and six with blinkfeed that i'm not sure they will give up for me I think it's the battery and it's the camera I've heard rumors of the HTC One to maintaining the same for megapixel ultrapixel camera they have not learned if the rumors are true so for me it would be the camera so back to you well um there's just two things yes I would agree with the with the camera statement it it really is a disappointment um but you know Samsung has a huge market share of just smartphones and I feel like it's really just their advertising they have advertised so well that people everyone knows what the galaxy phone is but nobody really knows what the HTC One is true when you walk into the verizon store it's not what you see you see the motorola and the Samsung devices everywhere and I don't understand smaller sections I don't know each other how that happens because you have HTC in the beginning of the year saying that they're going to spend my god million dollars marketing the HTC One but you know I saw this this tin foil catamaran thing and Robert Downey jr. and and like hey Bren listen hilarious television commercial that's all right I think that's like they tried to make something that was viral and catchy but i don't think anyone sits there and thinks what does HTC really stand for like no one cares if it if it stands for hilarious tin foil commercial or whatever you just said Tony um so what what do you think they can do next year too to do what they're supposed to do this year um well I would like to see a bigger refresh than it sounds like they're going to do I'm just because I think that they'll need it to compete um the HTC One this year kind of just fell flat and my opinion is is not to rebrand the same product I believe in redesigning and rebranding so that's just my thought interesting and it's interesting you say it fell flat because in some sense it did in terms of no one knowing about it but another another sense it was reviewed positively across every you know reviewing organization on the planet and he's a really nice phone it's a nice one except for the camera which is so glad you guys bid because despite people in in review saying that this camera is not good HTC still promotes it on facebook if you if you like them on Facebook you see them in your timeline camera camera camera but the camera sucks i don't i don't understand alright Erin well thank you for thanks for talking and happy thank you very much i look forward to 2014 and so are we take care but let's let's talk to sams i think Tony whoa whoa whoa whoa yes yes before we talk to sams let's dr. Brenda I you know I said so so what are you still using the same devices that you were using the last time I asked you what devices your reason I currently using the Lumia 1020 and the story of me and the 1020 is interesting because as much as I love Windows Phone and as much as I love windows mobile I was an MVP back in the day I couldn't get my head around windows phone as it is today because I'm heavily invested in Google services i use google plus I've got facebook pages to maintain so my day-to-day operation required me to do more than just answer emails or browse the internet but I have somehow managed to find a compromise and yes the 1020 is now my daily driver not because of Windows Phone because of the camera because I take a lot of pictures and everybody knows I'm a camera freak yeah yeah you know I use the the 1020 for a period of time this year and the camera is mind-blowing but I need my photos to be available on all my devices after I take them and you just can't do that with the 12 10 20 so what's your workflow like to get the pictures off your camera I'm either skies driving them or I'm just using a cable to download to my computer which is sometimes mmm iffy because i'm using macs and windows phone on a nokia phone does not really play well with an apple computer mm good point um yeah the sky drives a good solution because there are apps for iOS and Android for SkyDrive and Windows but then it's only uploading that 5 megapixels photoset it's like it's like it's like it's like you're going to or it's like a dead end street with the ten pony for me well yeah but there are also bros with that that 41-megapixel raw image not the raw raw image but the Ford 41 megapixel image is always there on your on your phone for you to download on your computer or for you to generate a new 5 megapixel image by refocusing reframing and and all the others stuff nakia talks about and brags about and for good reason yeah ok now let's go to sams let me unmute you and ask you where are you from right I'm from India you are from India welcome yeah let me ask you the following thing what's your best phone for 2013 and what's the most anticipate phone for 2014 in your particular case ok so for 2013 I am a bit confused between Nexus 5 and the HTC One so you're talking about your best load of 2013 yeah so the nexus 5 can be a daily driver with the stock android kitkat running on it the down point is the camera like it's not that good but it's not the software update made a big difference in it yeah now it's a quite a bit fast but not as good as other mobiles in the market it is it is funny that you mentioned the Nexus 5 and the HTC One and then you say that the nexus 5 has a board camera Brendan here's a question for you you have used both the Nexus 5 and the HTC One we know the camera on the HTC One is not stellar do you think the nexus 5 has a better camera than the HTC One yes then low light no but I mean at some point you have to like weigh the pros and cons and and I rather have worse low-light performance and better general performance than just terrible general performance yeah yes so Sam's from what I understand then maybe a google edition HTC One would be the perfect phone for you with stockings be done on the HTC hardware yes okay and what are you looking forward to in next year i'm looking forward to coked displays as there was a rumor from Samsung's Galaxy s5 that they may be coming out with the curved display except do you think dude you rather have a curved display like the flex LG flex or like the galaxy round galaxy round because actually that would be fun to use and it will be a new technology so dlg flex is good but I would rather prefer a newer technology like a bit more curved you're actually the first one who prefers a side to side rather than a top-to-bottom curvature it's interesting do you think it will help you in your day-to-day usage I mean if you use your phone and landscape mode then it will be a little bit weird to see the video like this uh yes can be like I guess um it it it also depends Tony I think if you use the phone to make calls a lot because in that case the Flex is more natural but if you're doing more typing I think the round might be a little bit more palm palm fitting you're holding with in time I fail to see any advantages of curved screens on phones so I said that I'm saying it i will continue saying that maybe on a larger screen maybe i'm a tablet probably yes oh maybe owes the ultimate is when you can take a phone that's flat and you say i feel like i had 12 beaker so you curve it right there and then you curve it more and more mana that i can agree to yes Sam's well how about data are you a tablet guy are you using something right now I am on the ipad 2 still but i was planning on upgrade to the ipad air all rather the ipad mini wouldn't read in his plate so we are you a hardcore apple fan or is it just that the you have an ipad and you want to keep it iPad because i was about to ask you wouldn't it be smarter to wait and see what happens at CES and maybe at mwc before you make the purchase yes yes sure sure the tortoise it's our decision between the air and the mini with retina display which way are you leaning I was leaning onto the mini because it's handy yeah yeah I think that's the better choice that the the slight downside is that the ipad air screen is slightly more colorful than the ipad mini but you don't even notice it after you use it for a while so I think the mini with retina Spy is a good choice yeah okay Sam's before we move on do you have any final thought no final thoughts no final thoughts in this case I will wish you a Happy New Year and I hope to see you around in 2014 as well yeah thank you my man bremen back to you Tony yes please I have a question please should uh well it's not a question it's a it's it's more of a it's a prediction I have and I'm wondering if you agree or disagree with okay let me ask you something hey Brendon don't you have a prediction you want to share with us yes yes let me put put it forward now I think 2014 will be a year of a new industry created and that is smart watches and you might say well maybe it was already created this year you've got the pebble and you've got the galaxy gear but I I think we are in the two thousand six days of how do I say that we we are in the early days of the SmartWatch just like in 2006 there were smartphones but they all sucked and then what happened 2007 well and I if I may quote you on that and I think one of the beaches our recap pieces for 2014 or maybe it was for 2014 predictions you said that the SmartWatch industry will not take off until Apple releases the iWatch and redefines the entire concept why do you think that Apple is the one who sets the mark because you look at the pep o and you look at the galaxy gear and they all have so many compromises their third sis there's there's battery life their screen technology the fact that these screens are flat why would you want a flat screen on your curved wrist that doesn't make sense why would you want to plug in your watch every day I know the pebble goes several days without needing a charge but i think that the i think the the watch industry is is is perfect for for a reimagine a shin of the total concept i think apple is going to do release a watch that it's completely different and I think they're going to do something with kinetic charging where it trans it creates motion in your wrist and it charges the battery as you use it throughout the day which will be as freakin revolution if you think about it and then they're going to put that technology into the iphone you know they are and you know they have a patent on it so no one better copy that so what if what if somebody beat LG to the market like LG has the g flex which we all know what is and now recently we've heard rumors of a trademark of the LG G arch SmartWatch how about that yeah you know what LG is gonna do is they're gonna do the obvious they're going to make a curved screen that's going to be like the Galaxy gear oh you can swipe there's like a camera I mean this is all obvious you and I could sit in the room and come up with a galaxy gear and the LG watch or whatever it's so unimaginative it's it's literal it's literally shrinking a phone to your wrist and you can't do that it needs to be rethought from the ground up so you think it's up to Apple to either come up with something new or convince us that whatever they make is whatever we need like they did with the iPad nobody wanted the tablet until the iPad and then Steve Jobs said that that's why we are here because we need to show customers what they really need yeah I think it's the first thing I think is up to them to do the innovation I think Samsung had their chance they're not going to start from this from scratch and what other company out there as the imagination and the resources to really do an amazing all the resources there are a lot of companies having the resources but it's it's that tricky part when you have to combine imagination and the resources both of them together that's the tricky part that's the tricky part ah pick somebody else before our eyes I want to talk about smart watches because I think it's very interesting let's talk to Kelvin let me find him in the list and unmute him try now Calvin hello oh hi I hear you where are you from Kelvin I'm not from the United States so nice yes Bart hi i live in maryland maryland not too far from here I mean I'm up in Philly ever been to Philly no well it's kind of lame here they've bagged the cheesy but that's that's pretty much it okay Kevin what do you what do you think about smartwatches do you have a pebble or a galaxy gear you want one or do you care right now not so much well I mean I remember I used to like Wandy um the Chinese type of smartwatches they could make college fit but now not much not not so much anymore because I don't think dear perfected until there's a SmartWatch witches um I should say almost as good as I think a SmartWatch should be I don't really care that much of a smart watches right now hey Kevin did you see that lame samsung galaxy gear ad hahaha I want on this lift no I haven't seen it but I've heard of it search for lame galaxy gear it's a three minute video of like some some guy trying to win over some girl with his watch and it just it oh no planet would that be the case all of those scenarios they're just they're just that it makes the technology look so intrusive rather than like passive and you know you kind of but but I'm with you that you know I'm kind of sitting on the sidelines and waiting for or whatever is going to happen next do you think speaking of wearables do you think that a google glass and other similar products are going to be very popular in 2014 yes I actually do believe um products like Google glass would be e come very popular in 14 as long as they have a good price um I I personally am interested in Google glass but uh um as long as Google makes a good price way I'm pretty sure everyone would like it because it's how much it is how much willing to pay for a google glass um um about at most four hundred dollars so 400 us out that's a lot I'm surprised you said what would you why would you get a google glass what would you want to do with it um I guess I'd show off to people you'd show off to people well it's easy for you because you already have glasses so you can just attach the thingy and you're good to go yeah Stefan tree that would be pretty cool um and then of course they're doing the prescription glasses so that you know you can get your prescription and stuff I'm also interested in Google glass because I'd like to like I thinking of sometimes I think about how to be able to implement it in school like in school work so for example like I'm doing Matt a and like that kind of stuff I a mean I think would be awesome if they could find a way to bring it to schools just like a way now you're trying to bring tablets into schools I think and I want to pick Brendan's brain on this I think that the entire Google s concept was a proof of concept and I'm not saying it will die but we will not see a huge development in that particular wearable market what do you think Brendan yeah I'm kind of with you on that i think it was i think google put something out there to see how much enthusiasts in there would be for it and there has been a lot of enthusiasm on a one to ten I'd say there's a seven or an eight and I think that they were looking for a nine or ten to aggressively develop it and make it a mass-market product in fact they were supposed to come out with a mass-market product by the end of 2013 worth a yep that was like so I think that says something about its future you know you can still buy one for 15 hundred bucks but i don't think anyone well a lot of people have bought them of course I'm really skeptical about this wearable idea I think that it tries to get out of the way uh in terms of you know you know something your phone out of your pocket or even glancing at your wrist you just live your life but in fact I think it gets in the way I think it makes it ten times worse if I'm having a conversation with you and I've got this cameras staring at your face it's it's just weird it's it's gonna it's going to be a while i think maybe maybe in in three or four years but i don't think society is ready for everyone to put on this headgear Calvin do you think 2014 will be the year of phones of tablets or wearables I found a phone so you think that will see innovation yet again what do you think what do you predict for next year um I predict a finally 64-bit processing for android um 2k displays and yeah that that has a high chance of happening with the Snapdragon 400 410 I think that's in five now the fourth that is actually the first quad-core processor for quote from Qualcomm and they will probably show or bit you said quad core I'm sorry for 64-bit yeah yeah very good well Kelvin thank you for joining us and thank you for your predictions you'll have to come back and let us know if you are you were accurate appreciate it thanks many to you later MA oh hey yeah hey yeah Tony yes please i was about to get the last full but in case you have 10 more minutes we can talk a little bit more and then have that alaska yes I wanted to ask you some questions you ready this is this is my this is my answering face um I want to talk about the iphone 6 okay and you know for years now there have been rumors of bigger screen died phones there are rumors of the iphone 6 of a bigger screen there are rumors that there will be mold models one with you know a smaller screen one with the bigger screen and getting the finally going to make a bigger screen iphone this year I said that there will be no way on planet earth that Apple has a smaller iPad and yet we have a smaller iPad I think that if Apple really wants to stay on the market and really wants to hold on to that declining market share which they have and wants to stop the decline they have to bump the screen size because even a mini feel like the one mini or the galaxy s4 mini is at this point larger and screen size or equal to the iphone 5 or 5s so I think they need to go with the flow have a new product maybe will not call it phablet and I'm sure it will be innovative but I think at the same time they will keep the regular iphone so they'll probably have to display sizes which will be completely strange for Apple but they have to do it are they going to bump the resolution for the larger mount absolutely yes really it's not gonna piss developers off well they they were pissed off when when they went from the iphone 4s to the iphone 5 and maybe they will not make it any taller but maybe they would find a compromise like maybe two cages doubling the iphones resolution as it is today and then sold everything with pixel doubling yeah i think that's the only reasonable course of action because then they can do pixel doubling so that would be what would the resolution be we would go in the top of my head I could not tell you it's going to be 1920 x what's he at 646 40 times to this is going to be a weird resolution 1920 x 1280 all the iphone five resolutions is weird as it is now and the four and the 4s resolution was also i oh yeah i was doing the wrong math anyway so um Tony why don't you take the last car okay let us talk to Matthew Matthew let me uh unmute you okay you did it yourself welcome like thanks validate where are you from um for the cable it in France you're from the UK but you live in friends what do you want wrench a yes I did I've benefit nearly 10 years excellent and and and I think you've got a little bit a little bit of both vaccines there from French and British I get that some sense I wanted to ask you if you have a specific topic about what you want to talk about or should we just go with some predictions for next year since this is the main topic of the day available and may be able to wondering if you ever think Google Play business works Kamali you come on the US cos I've I'm ready HTC one I love it but why Google why are they available out for you but you and me like oh I know your remaining yeah I I think that reason behind that is the exact reason why you are not available to purchase devices from the Play Store but in five or six countries I think that there's a specific nuttin I think this is a specific marketing reason for that but thankfully you can have a google play edition Rahman that thanks to XDA developers or action not so proud a mad let me switch to you and the issue it again using action yeah yep so I think you will not be able to purchase one officially in in your country or in my country or anywhere else outside of the US but thankfully we can do that now yeah and by the way I'm 11 the first 4G networks in our in our even a whole country which I'm probably the only one in the whole area within 20 miles using it and what are you receive a prime probably an hour from the city and about 20 down and five up whereas my blonde Lions like five down and one up he should you should enter your phone to your computer yeah well I would but my kids per month oh my she's like nine eggs yes that's a lot of data Wow how do you even know him closed well we can get 16 here and how much how much do you pay for it I don't okay and how much does a regular person living there pay for that about 30 to 40 good that's acceptable euros hmm that's Excel and sigh what I'm at another's x yeah it's about 50 bucks that is really really good with unlimited minutes and the Melissa Tait text and actually if you go over you just get startled Wow no overage charges how can somebody get over nine gigs well I do batteries what would you really like to stream youtube videos all day long no no no just watching your guys oh I'm sorry it's our fun well don't you try to use Wi-Fi when possible well the I have Wi-Fi because i'm in college university harm but then you record proxy and the speed is worse than my home connection I was about to see Brandon would you use Wi-Fi with a 4G connection with 20 megs down and a man get per month allowance would you ever turn on Wi-Fi I mean not not in his situation where the Wi-Fi is slow but if the wifis fast then you know its battery savings data savings she at university seem faster because it's like 40 down and 20 up gosh so uh let's move to the prediction and recap stuff so uh yeah seaking them I think I've so critics muffins well it's kind of become a well if you think about everyone has one its its consumer super super bowl now no no one really thinks about it well it depends on where you want it true Julia and idea and again in sort of yeah Wesson's so countries smaller okc and but i think probably more likely wearables and you know and sort of life bring the prac the repressed performance ratio down light up like to make it like motogp example that brought pretty decent specs for like next to nothing for most people brandon he's right up your alley with the wii remorse around yeah that's you made a good point about the motorola G we really didn't talk about that but that really I think changed things and change the way that pricing might be done next year maybe we'll see the continuation of these great yet budget devices that are capable and very affordable that'll be awesome I just wish that the Moto G had a better camera yeah Matthew what do you think who's gonna have the hottest fastest best smartphone next year I love physically referring to best-selling one but the the best smartphone which will answer your mind Brandon and the rest of us our needs personally I'd say HTC unfortunately it looks like that start this financial markets it disagree with me because they make it yet they make a pretty phone but they no one sees it like it's not selling anything because there's a lot of comments like people seeing that you know I would have bought the HTC One if it had an SD card expansion or if it had a battery which was removable but I think that that's just a small but but but actually something forget about this is that that's this little fella I can have an SD card this fashion and the USB Drive because the USB on-the-go which is a long pure for that that's another thing you have air in your pocket maybe losing Remini or one little thing that to me i displease family young net and and also one who sees it I've actually HTC phones if i put pretty much sue sees as a as USB storage as if it was in it internal SD card and here i can play videos and stuff in it it's just like a little still sticking out yep and also sony has that new USB thing but i don't see myself carrying something like that would you bring them no I don't like extremities on my devices I always figured you'd be the guy who has some some sort of a bling bling gap thing on a lanyard on your phone I may use differ charging up I feel of all I must have the original Nexus 7 still in KitKat and that she is fun it's already two different operating systems I think it's actually the difference and I use USB on-the-go made to charge use this pinch the battery and pull it into this I far something as a charger so basically I've got a big giant battery to go what is your biggest tech wish for 2014 Oh a universal messaging system that everyone can use for example I'm on Android baby as a show here but all my family's life my phones and all the hell uses I message and yeah there was like oh I message me like no I'm on Windows i won and what are the cup as platform solution yeah but whatever one of people will accept yeah I'm with you there Matthew because same thing with me I everyone all my family members all my friends use iPhones and that's one of the main reasons i use an iphone you know fifty or sixty percent of the year and when i go to android i like go dark they can't send me pictures and videos and like it dis around just in case shut i pod the touch nice running i was six no Bothans the classic hey yeah um well we'll talk about that later alright nothing will thank you um thank you for joining us and for uh thank you you guys are modified my just promote the show down below you do it promote your channel marketing ok now you are locked I i will apologize it's is been stagnant for a year by my new resolution is to get back into making videos and making a regular basis rather than just once a year there's I got about a city that subscribers but they haven't had anything for a year so like get some videos out and it's going for a cruise channel do it yeah thank you Mary content coming and happy can say oh whoa hey hey Tony you want to wrap this up first I want to ask you what your new year's resolution is well I had a pretty big list for 2013 out of which I have ticked off every entry so I'm probably the the one thing which I want to do next year is to move into a different location to either purchase or lease an apartment but I'm else I'm pretty much set that was bored I know it was boring but for this year for instance I wanted to lose some weight and I lost 30 kilos I wanted to change my car and I did I wanted to be more successful in what I'm doing professionally and you and I know that I managed to do that and of course quitting smoking or stuff like that is always on the list and it will always be on the list but that aside I might not left with any more stuff I can wish for i just hope i will remain healthy and strong and the rest I can take care of myself well that was more interesting there you go and what what do you wish for 2014 oh well I don't really do new years resolutions I figure that it's always fun to do them and to write them down because next year you look back and you'll see that you failed some of the points yeah but my perspective is that if you want to make a change in yourself you start today not on january first gonna lose weight don't eat the doughnut if you want to be more successful we're a little harder today you know I mean like I think I think I new year's resolutions are a little bit of a cop-out which is why most people don't do it because if they were gonna do it they do it today they would start today and so I don't think then to agree with you there yeah but for census for a sense of playing along I need to lose a little weight you know I 30 killers I would disappear but maybe maybe it will be 10 pounds or something I have become fond of the desert you know and my wife likes to feed me so you know whatever combination wife is leading to come the gym and eat as much as you were yeah there's these pages any final thoughts when I think that's what I'm looking forward to 2014 maybe CES is around the corner next week by this time next week I'll be on a plane on my way to Vegas baby asleep or she is I think Sony is going to have a new phone new tablet I think she is is gonna be like it was like it was last year yeah there's going to be a lot of tablets and a lot of Chinese manufacturers are trying to become successful successful dumb I think we want like that you think about shaving it i think yeah I think Samsung will continue to have its own advantages you know hydrazone events and kind of ignore CBS rusty desk hopefully there will be so now the regime announces that English crossed yours brother I should I we die well happy when I was like I think everybody of me out here today or have a full of the elephant we will be here in twenty fourteen again everybody thank you very much of a range charter Blanca ground or go to meet you again next year you have an awesome awesome awesome of years and with that Brenda net residential 2013 erode into REM solo drum solo alright alright I'm nervous nervous whole lot like locking on you okay there you go
