this episode of technobuffalo is brought to you by teen mobile that makes sense what's up everyone welcome back there pisode of ask the buffalo this is the question answer show we could ask me jon rettinger whatever question is running around in your mind you want to talk about new cell phones new wearables new tablets or you know why your girlfriend stops talking to you this is the show that you can ask up this week it's the Moto X note for in galaxy edge some gorgeous moto 360 talk and some curvy screens is that's a buffalo let's start asking the first question comes from Billy st. John who asks at John for lakers what do you think of the new Moto X hashtag asked the Buffalo I loved the original moto x and i am beyond excited about the new one so first day up the specs and up the screen it's now not a low respect phone really it's got a 5.2 inch 1080p display it's got the snapdragon 801 mike one of my favorite things that was custom voice prompts so instead of just saying you know ok Google you can just be like sup bro how many species of mountain goat are there and you'll tell you or sup homeslice or don't be iran whatever you want to say and it'll you can just big it but i think is really cool of course all the moto maker options are there so you have crazy customization stuff they've now got aluminum band around it I could pick even leathers if you want which sounds a little weird to have a back on the phone but listen if leathers your thing I'm not I'm not here to judge you do what you want as long as it's between a consenting adult and a consenting phone you can use leather it's fine with me pricing went up a little bit though which is not overly awesome but so did spec so I guess it's kind of relative it's about 500 bucks if you want to get it unlocked or 99x want to get it to your contract it looks like a really really sweet phone they promised update you're gonna be coming to it really regularly it'll be ready for Android else you get sort of the best google experience plus the awesome moto edition so it's kind of like a win-win next question comes from at Cal abroad at john for lakers is a note for note edge worth upgrading to from the note 3 that sir is the million-dollar question so worth it is total the relative my wife uses a note 3 and she loves it I showed her videos on the note 4 and the note edge and I was like do you wanna upgrade and she wouldn me I have no need she thought the note edge seem kind of silly but if you use your right handed where you're going to put stuff and what if you dropping that's a lot of concerns people have but for me who likes technology the note edge seems absolutely awesome i'm really excited that samsung is trying something new with you like it or don't like it that's going to be up to you but they're trying something different and i appreciate that as far as upgrading the big thing for me if you don't like the screen on your note 3 then yes if we worth upgrading you're getting sort of a qHD 2k screen on your phone regardless which when you go for it either 5.7 or 5.6 on a note for and a galaxy edge respectively so beautiful screens big sizes if you want to have the latest and greatest and yet upgrade otherwise I think the note 3 is going to be there still really solid advice for another year until the note 5 and edge to come out we stopped the question for one sec to thank the good peeps add ting you've got money in your wallet you probably want to keep it there with ting you aren't forced to pick a plan based on what you think you might use from data minutes and text which means there's way less waste if you just use less you simply pay for the service you use leave the service and ever you want with no fees so that makes life much easier no hidden admin fees no crazy sketchy weird surcharges team bills are super simple to understand and they only charge you usage but six dollars per device plus tax each month and that's it so you can figure out exactly your mobile bill is going to be you don't use much than month you don't pay much for that month the mobile phone experience in general includes a lot of confusion and powerlessness sis's and plans tend to be littered with crazy hidden fees steep penalties arbitrary rules unnecessary premiums and phone companies tend to kind of be unapproachable and flexible for tried to call your carrier you know exactly what I'm talking about bottom lines though consumers are overpaying and underserved if your phone carrier was a restaurant you would never go back there current customers with tang will likely say huge decrease in your monthly bill go check out the rates page at technobuffalo tang com to see what your new lower bill is going to be this technobuffalo tinkham at TI ng let's talk about some moto 360 at coach C WCS at John fo Lakers do you think sales will not be as good for Moto 360 since it only has a leather band instead of metal until later in the year I don't think that's gonna affect those sales at all that watch is absolutely gorgeous and it's $249 Scott removable bands tues you can go buy a leather metal band rather put it right on and be good to go i don't think waiting for it is gonna make much sense at all if it was like 350 bucks and yeah maybe make a difference but 249 is really cheap it's on par with the other Android wear watches and sort of just beats the crap out of them books apartment looks like those other two just got beat with the ugly watch dick next question comes from Nick geeks who asked at John for lakers what do you think of this new curved screen trend you find them to be useful you think they're kind of gimmicky yeah that's a good question uh I mean they're probably a little bit gimmicky but they're also probably little bit useful they are definitely still sort of in the infancy of what they're going to be but I'm again I really like what Samsung's trying something new at some point with every new serve paradigm shift in technology there has to be served a first device that tries it and sort of puts it out first Mets may not be the best implementation and it happens but they always have to be someone that's trying its get to serve the audience and consumers use of something new and that's what we're seeing here with the galaxy edge has been stroker screens before you know we've got things like the g flex and the galaxy nexus had a little bit of a curve to it but it's something brand new as far as how you use a device that's sort of a whole separate screen on the side we'll see how consumers gonna respond to it I think one of things are gonna want to see in person before you use it kind of weird you can t have controls on the side again what if you drop it I don't land on the right-hand side a lot of concerns there but i think it's the future I think curved screens least wraparound screens are really getting something that's going to come very very very fast I think we're going to see serve wraparound screens for advertisements on you know power poles and such that's going to be happening much sooner than we expect they're just kind of getting people used to it as far as the phone goes I'm excited to see it though I just want to play with it and what do you guys think are you excited about crazy curvy screens I want to hear your thoughts on it until next time I am John Renji from
