2015-02-12
I phone theft statistics show a significant changes over the last year Google still focused on making mobile payments work somehow and Sony seems focused on making xperia shine but at least in the entry-level sector I'm hi mera mera and shouldn't it be that Thursday's should be skippable this is pocket out daily brought to you by lynda.com let's begin today with what's official starting with NVIDIA the company has just sent out press invitations for an event to happen on March third no it's not going to happen at number two you see it'll happen in San Francisco and according to the company this has everything to do with gaming we were expecting something hot to happen at CES and that wasn't the case so let's see what Nvidia brings to the table this time now let's talk about Sony and media tech MediaTek processor probably not our favorites but we gotta admit that the the smart phones that are being powered by it are extremely affordable such as the case of the sony xperia e for the company you know focus on media tech hearing rumors from digit times claimed that sony is going to build a lot more media tech based smartphones which is really interesting sony has not really shine when it comes to the high-end market but that doesn't mean their smartphones are bad they're probably the best out there and it seems that the company is going to do the same samsung thing focus on the entry level it's here because apparently that's where the money is if you thought the google wallet was that it's far from the case apparently google is working on this new product code name fasho it's Bluetooth enabled and you won't need NFC it seems that you walk into a store the store clerk will detect you through your smartphone initials and you will be able to pay everything wirelessly meaning it seems you won't even need to walk to the store clerk you'll just be able to do anything wherever you are within the store which is really interesting hopefully it works and we are just a couple of weeks away from mwc 2015 and we get more and more leaks on the galaxy s6 that's probably going to be one of the hottest smartphones of the event because it's a galaxy smartphone of course but the design looks extremely different to every other galaxy that we've seen probably the face is the same and then the back of everything is just different look at the links in the description we've got a ton of photos of leaked renders of the phone the schematics apparently are right and probably the most interesting thing is that the battery doesn't seem removable let's see what we get and finally for the very interesting news of the day we've got the first statistics on smartphone theft over the last couple of years we know that the United States and other countries have been enforcing activation locks in order for thieves not to want to steal smartphones because they just won't be able to use them Apple was one of the first companies to use this activation lock cable that iOS 7 and it's been bundled into iCloud and find my iphone it's really cool you try to wipe a phone or whatever iphone or ipad and then if you try to activate it you can't without the iCloud password which is really cool but interesting statistics show us that after this was implemented a theft had dropped 40 percent in cities like San Francisco twenty five percent in New York and a staggering fifty percent in London alone and just to give you an idea 1.6 million smartphones were stolen in 2012 and in certain cities like for example San Francisco fifty percent of all crime cases were smart phone related so it leads me to the question of the day have you ever had your smartphone stolen and shares your experience what phone wasn't an everything in my case it happened years ago anybody remember a company named eat n the e10 glofish something that was a smartphone that got stolen for me leave us a comment down below tell us what you think these are really good news hopefully this continues to drop in years going forward and folks if you've ever wanted to learn web designer become a pro in Adobe tools or hey even build a video like this one there are thousands of awesome courses in our sponsor lynda.com slash pocket now that's how ynd a calm / pocket now for a free 10-day trial you also know the drill if you want to get the news earlier before this video was filmed make sure you follow us on our hangout comment subscribe to a channel as well you follow me on Twitter hina underscore to be better please give this video a thumbs up if you liked what you saw I am hey metal be better you very much for watching we'll see you tomorrow
