is there we lie hello everybody I'm back with another look here at the new Google pixel you may have caught the previous broadcast there was some sort of compression issue on the video I think it had to do with the Wi-Fi we switch networks should be golden now so let's dive into it I've got the hot new phones right here that these are the smaller of the two this is the 5-inch pixel is of course the XL also over here which is 5.5 inches slightly higher resolution display as you can tell both of them manageable form factors but the real story here is the design the aesthetic and the camera as well you take a look around you see aluminum construction as well as some glass at the top now this isn't strictly for looks this also serves a purpose which you end up with here is slightly better performance for your wireless antennas for your cell reception and so on because it can transmit well through this glass surface it also allows for you to avoid the camera hump the dreaded camera hump that nobody wants so when you place this down on a table as you'll see here I can push on every edge and that not have that like wobble the wobble nobody wants to wobble I'm sure you're aware now the camera a lot of hype around this camera if you watch the presentation you know that the DxO rating on this camera is unprecedented it scored an 89 which is higher than any other camera that's been tested in the smartphone universe including the latest iPhone now that's a tough thing for me to show you here in this live broadcast trying to bring this to you real quick here but what I can say on the sort of preliminary test with this camera is it's super quick and it has some cool functions so for example if I snap a photo of this right here I could just sort of hold down and you see that was 15 photos in in a couple of seconds so the processing is very fast here there's also this cool lens blur feature where I can snap I'm going to try to give slightly more depth of field here put this back here if I snap a photo of this case and then slowly elevate the camera up I'll get a checkmark now it's processing the lens blur and what that does is it emulates a shallow depth of field that you would get from a camera with a very large aperture you can see it blurred out the background there and now the foreground is in significantly more focus that can be modified after the fact as well if you decide that you want to change the composition at a later point so two different colors this is very silver and this is quite black kind of funny names they're essentially this kind of looks like a dark a very dark charcoal and then up on the glass portion it's super black as well around the device you'll notice it does have a headphone jack I know a lot of people were kind of upset that this is being removed from some other devices on the market you do have it here but you've also got a USBC connector so theoretically that could be used for audio in the future as well if you want to keep it strictly digital but that's also quick charge so Google is saying that this port here can provide you with seven hours of battery life on a 15 minute charge over USB see that's pretty impressive another thing I'm going to want to check out when I get a more comprehensive look at these devices holding it in the head you really kind of get a flashback to like the Nexus 4 I was a huge fan of the various Nexus devices of course no longer called Nexus here it's now Google pixel moving into a more premium realm but I'm reminded of the Nexus 4 and how this feels in the head of course that one had the completely glass book glass back this one is a dual material but around the edges it's just got that same kind of comfy feel another nice little touch here on the power switch you've got this textured finish so when you reach down without even looking at the device you're aware of whether or not you're on the power/lock switch or if you're on the volume rocker speakers are located on the bottom down here as you can see we can probably we can probably give those a test real quick couldn't we let's see here can I load up some youtube let's give that a quick test well that loads I just want to show you the difference in form factor between the two so this one it's kind of is probably going to be more popular amongst one-handed users I can easily reach across the display this one though probably a better choice for multimedia not only is the display bigger at 5.5 inches but it's also slightly higher pixel density qHD versus Full HD on this device over here once again Wi-Fi issues ensued can't bring up the youtubes on that one let's try it on this one oh we did or this one I've got multiple opportunities for YouTube loading here there we go something tells me this one's going to do the trick there we go all right so if I load up some video here maybe I'll do a quick search for unbox therapy and of course the famous video from yesterday featuring right and if you didn't believe I was sick here's all the evidence in the world so here you get a sense for audio so they fire out of the bottom like this and essentially when you're you know when you're holding the device in a landscape fashion that's going to bounce off your hand and kind of project more forward from that perspective so this is I mean what are we talking about here we're talking about a move into the more premium space availability of more carriers you can now get this thing on Verizon various other popular Canadian care carriers potentially it'll be subsidized which would be interesting to a lot of people maybe you can pick this up for less than the sticker price I think that's exciting pair that with what's being called the best camera in the business and all of a sudden you have a compelling package but that's not all that happened here today we also had this the daydream headset which is it's tough for me to really portray this to you through video but this thing is incredibly comfortable and incredibly light and it's something I've been hoping for in a vr space for awhile I've tried all the various universal VR headsets that are on the market and they all have their drawbacks nothing has been put out that's perfect and one of the biggest drawbacks is the weight of those things they're all quite heavy now this one on the other hand super lightweight there you go fashion show for you and made out of soft materials so extended viewing sessions in theory should be a lot more comfy using something like this also getting your device in and out and working with multiple devices so what they decided to do here is simply have this flip down and one latch now on the inside you're going to notice the new control as well this could be your input method for the device and what's nice is you don't need to look at it to understand where your finger is you have this recessed touch pad on the top and these buttons are also well identified by the fact that one protrudes and the other is recessed down here it's going to use a gyroscope type of input method so for pointing in your VR it's going to track where you're pointing at and it's got place the store of course when you're using it this is where your phone is going to go it's going to fit right in there flip up and then it's going to know that it's been inserted into a VR environment and launch you into the area you would hope to go into so even with the device in it's still super lightweight and comfy comes in a couple of different colors this is exciting maybe VR is set to take on the planet and become far more popular with a more accessible Universal headset this will work with this will work with devices beyond just the pixel as well if it can fit in here then theoretically would work as long as it supports daydream so there you have it guys a quick look a first look at the new pixel I think it's pretty damn pretty you'll probably agree with me available in two colors very silver quite black I think you're probably going to be interested in this and definitely stick around because I'll be diving more in depth as this becomes available in the retail form I'll do a full unboxing video give you guys some more camera tests and something I'm especially excited for the video mode you will see the 4k video mode with this sophisticated image stabilization that I saw in the presentation it's like it's like doing all these intense calculations for stabilizing shaky hands like the ones that Jack uses thanks for watching guys you
