5 New Phone Updates + Giveaway Update!
AI Summary
Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) hosts a live stream discussing recent phone updates, a major giveaway, and various smartphones on his desk. He addresses giveaway skepticism, shares his daily drivers, and provides insights on devices like the OnePlus 5T, Pixel 2 XL, and BlackBerry Motion.
25 phones (iPhone X and Note 8) are being given away via Twitter and Instagram, handled by dbrand. Winners selected December 25th via random code. Warning about scams.
Marques' daily driver iPhone X fell off a dresser and shattered the back glass. Repair cost is $550. He's using another iPhone now.
Pixel 2 camera is clearly better than iPhone X, making camera comparisons less interesting. It's like having a clear #1 in a sport.
OnePlus 5T face unlock is faster but less secure (uses front camera only, not infrared). Face ID is slower but secure for payments. OnePlus kept fingerprint sensor for security.
Google added a saturated mode to the Pixel 2 XL display after complaints of muted colors. It's extremely saturated, almost overkill.
Second camera uses intelligent pixel technology combining four pixels into one for better low-light performance. Marques is skeptical about the physics.
Full touchscreen BlackBerry with virtual keyboard, headphone jack, USB-C, and big bezels. Not convinced it will save BlackBerry.
Phone has a 2-inch color screen on the back for notifications, steps, weather. Not a life-changer but neat.
Marques bought his first Bitcoin at ~$11,000. Discusses its volatility and use as payment. Price up 12% that day.
Marques wraps up with updates on various phones, the giveaway, and a brief Bitcoin discussion. He encourages viewers to check the description for links and stay tuned for future content.

[00:33] we are live it works okay so I need to get a link copy URL paste tweet what's get a link copy URL paste tweet what's up guys we clearly have a lot to talk
[00:51] about but like we can talk about whatever it's cool it's just a title no whatever it's cool it's just a title no big deal what's up hey hello hi bro hi hi hello volume is too low should I bring us closer let me know how
[01:09] I sound let me know how I sound cuz I see video looks pretty ok gonna cuz I see video looks pretty ok gonna get a sound check what you guys think get a sound check what you guys think volume up increase the volume please
[01:22] speak loud should i boost it a little bit this this mic volume I can turn up bit this this mic volume I can turn up right here did that get louder
[01:40] how does this house now is it louder than I I turned up yeah I turned it up than I I turned up yeah I turned it up about 25% still low really loud let me
[01:53] about 25% still low really loud let me hear it on the oh that's great that's alright see this mic it's good it's got a little volume volume knob that's why I
[02:07] linked it below it's cuz it's good alright this one this live stream is titled phone updates hence the phones and plus a little giveaway updates so I guess natural place to start would be the giveaway
[02:23] recent so the giveaway is pretty awesome there is obviously plenty of people commenting on oh god that's a lot of phones why because I wanted like I said to give as many prizes away as possible there is a
[02:39] pretty hilarious reddit post actually about actually I'm gonna see if I can find it again about like here's why I think this giveaways fake which is why I think this giveaways fake which is why I have these boxes here um first of all
[02:51] it's not fake fYI I would never do that I found it I'm not gonna link to it but all like reads some of it which is pretty they okay so they're super analysing and video obviously there's a lot of boxes in the video none of them
[03:05] have shrink-wrap on them that's because as I mentioned dbrand skinned every single one of those phones so they took the shrink-wrap off open the box take the phone out skinned it put it back put the thing back together
[03:21] close it that's why there's no shrink wrap on the boxes and yes every single one of those boxes did have a phone in it which is why I had all the boxes he
[03:35] mentions the boxes sound hollow as if there's no phone inside I don't really know how to quantify that but all the boxes have phones in them I have a picture if you want to switch to this camera I have a picture of some
[03:51] of when we were shooting all of the 25 phones I don't know if that's glared well if it's even visible but yeah there's there's 25 phones all equally
[04:03] there's there's 25 phones all equally numbered red and black so that's a thing numbered red and black so that's a thing that happened and I'll share more of but the other funny thing is they're talking about what do you say oh the I
[04:18] am me that I am the I stickers which if you've seen on the bottom of these these boxes is always on the bottom here like that but the way this Note 8 does they way the note eight boxes it has this sleeve on it so they were curious about
[04:34] why all the boxes looked blank it's because we hid all of the imei stickers because we didn't want everyone to steal that information or getting in the heads things you don't want to give out these public IMEI numbers so we oriented all
[04:48] the boxes so that they were all blank you can do that by just taking the sleeve off and switching it around and putting the IMEI wherever you want so we made them all blank on the top just by switching them and that was that I think
[05:03] are also freaking out about the fact that that much money was spent upon on phones for a giveaway that's just how we do that's just the way it is out here so
[05:16] I really want to say for the giveaway is this is a Twitter and Instagram giveaway this is a Twitter and Instagram giveaway so what we were talking about is there's gonna be people who try to scam you into thinking you've won it's gonna happen
[05:32] a randomization from Twitter and Instagram D brand has their they're handling the entire logistics process essentially so randomizing the cross-section of followers on each social network and actually shipping
[05:46] them out and handling all the import fees wherever you live all that stuff so they have all the phones right now for that but people it's also really that but people it's also really easy to just try to mass message that
[05:58] group of people let me just message everyone who follows Marquez and dbrand saying I'm Marquez and asking for their shipping in their bank information for import fees it's not happening like that
[06:11] first of all December 25th is the day all the winners get picked so if someone messages you claiming to be me or claiming to be D brand sometime between claiming to be D brand sometime between now and December 25th clearly it's not
[06:26] you'll see all the winners get picked it's a just literally a random cross-section generated by code and that's that's how it happens yeah that is a red one plus 5p we'll get to these is there's a whole bunch of a updates
[06:41] that's that's the giveaway update there's anything I missed there they is true if you are curious about giveaways I've ever done I don't do them very often but last year I gave away a hundred one plus three tees and pretty
[06:56] much the same format cross section of social posts and whoever's following the two accounts is entered to win same idea they all got those phones they all were given proof on social it was awesome actually giving away that many phones so
[07:09] actually giving away that many phones so yeah where is the smartphone Awards 2017 yeah where is the smartphone Awards 2017 so Nast that's a december thing so that year when I'm pretty sure all the phones have come out you've probably noticed
[07:23] have come out you've probably noticed one of these phones on a desk is not one of these phones on a desk is not like the others this one you guys did a like the others this one you guys did a tweet about this one there's a sad story
[07:41] actually sharp at this point it's literally it's not the slipperiest phone ever but it's a slippery si phone ever it's got these rounded sides and it's definitely you can tell this was my daily driver I use this one everyday um
[07:57] it slid off a counter or not a counter like a dresser and I left the room for like 10 minutes so this is what happens yesterday I had my phone up on this counter it was like face down like that just like a
[08:10] normal surface like this I think it was like plastic left the room and a couple minutes later I'm in the other room and I hear like this thud and I was like what was that sound and I literally left the room and I went downstairs because I
[08:23] like in the kitchen I'm looking around like what fell did a salt shaker fall like what fell did a salt shaker fall like what is the deal I couldn't find it went back upstairs one in the other room that I left the phone in and I find this
[08:37] phone on the ground that clearly committed suicide and people were saying put a skin over it which actually sometimes works but in this case because the glass is so wrecked it's a little depressed on this side and it's kind of
[08:51] sharp right here and not even a skin can save that one so yeah that one's over ice I'd put my sim in another iPhone because I actually have another iPhone which is pretty awesome but this would normally cost $550 at an Apple store to
[09:08] fix it's the most expensive iPhone to fix ever obviously that's a lot and it's the most expensive iPhone ever this one I think it's just gonna remain like this in posterity there's chunks of glass missing from around the camera it's bad
[09:24] guys don't want to see that there now it's now there's a clean iPhone on this table hey Mark is the question is I had are you how are you going to weed out inactive accounts and body counts that is a challenge and ideally none of those
[09:38] accounts win but that's gonna be up to dbrand to like truly randomized as a phones of the highest capacity I don't think so this particular one I I don't think so this particular one I think all the iPhones will be the $9.99
[09:51] base model so what does that 64 gigs or yeah 64 gigs and all the notes are the yeah 64 gigs and all the notes are the 64 gig as well I think what is this I'm
[10:05] so that's what's up hi hello hi did it fall how did it fall anyway it just slid I say maybe it got a notification and like my phone like buzzed and like slid off the table but I couldn't I can't confirm
[10:21] because I didn't put it near the edge I would never do that that means it slid gradually over the course of like several minutes while I was in another room until it fell which is that's pretty rough
[10:50] driver I think that's the other thing people were asking about I usually carry two phones that's something that's been a case for at least like two years now I usually carry one Android phone and I carry one iPhone so for a while ago for
[11:06] carry one iPhone so for a while ago for me that was Galaxy Note 8 and iPhone 7 plus and then iPhone 8 came out and I switched to iPhone 8 so the Android a bunch of different phones lately it was the razor phone that's this guy the
[11:22] was the razor phone that's this guy the suite hundred twenty Hertz display the massive amazing front-facing speakers and it's a it's kind of a rock in terms of build quality but long story short like I said mentioned in the full review
[11:36] like I said mentioned in the full review the camera is so bad that it's an actual deal-breaker for me and I had to switch back to the pixel because the camera is that good and the thing is I think Danny I think Danny tweeted this sort of Danny
[11:49] recently but it's something I think the same about which is camera comparisons same about which is camera comparisons for a while are not really ruined but will be a little less interesting because the pixel tube crushes
[12:02] everything in the camera department and it's not that close like iPhone 10 has a pretty great camera and then pixel 2 is still clearly better it's like when you have a clear 1/2 in the world in a sport it's crazy I don't know anyway so that's
[12:19] that's razor phone but that's what I've switched to so my daily right now is the switched to so my daily right now is the iPhone 10 256 silver and the pixel 2:128 panda I know some of you call this the penguin it's not it's a panda although I
[12:35] get why you call it the penguin I'm just saying it's a little late to switch the chat is oh my god that shadows fly oh wow that would explain why it's
[12:53] oh wow that would explain why it's flying what is good what's good all right here's another fun we can move on to one plus 5t this is a ok so again these are all phones and this is in the description besides these two these are
[13:07] one plus 5t I did a top five features on and I really like this phone a lot it's a well-built it's kind of like a blade they didn't make the battery any bigger it's got this red D brand skin on it so it looks pretty slick right now but this
[13:22] is a really good phone for under 500 bucks it's 479 I want to say the killer feature of this phone and I want to stress the difference between this in
[13:34] the iPhone 10 the killer feature on this phone turns out to be that face unlock which I don't know if I can demonstrate it here it's kind of hard to see I don't
[13:46] know if you can you see that is that on the skin right now if I turn this off the skin right now if I turn this off pointed towards me it's hard to point it towards me and unlock it it's the fastest face unlock I've ever used on a
[14:00] about like well this is way better than face ID it's that much faster here's the face ID it's that much faster here's the thing those are two very different difference face ID on the iPhone 10 is an entire
[14:19] replacement to touch ID it is a secure thing it does your phone unlocked but it also does your bank transactions your Apple ID your purchasing of apps everything it uses the true depth sensor it uses the front facing information
[14:33] bounces all these lasers off your face or is it it's uh it's infrared so I bounces all the infrared dots off your face creates a depth map recognizes you in multiple scenarios if you grow a mustache or your face ages slightly it
[14:47] recognizes you because of a learning algorithm all this stuff face ID is really smart so that's why it does all those things but it also takes a second you take your phone in your pocket and then it unlocks like it's a second to
[15:01] actually get into your phone where everyone looks at now this new face front-facing camera on the oneplus looks at you instantly unlocks seems like it at you instantly unlocks seems like it must be better right seems like it must
[15:16] be better but it's not it only uses the front-facing camera face idea isn't use the front-facing camera at all it uses all the invisible sensors that you don't see this uses only the front-facing camera meaning it's susceptible to
[15:31] potentially some of the same security risks that would come from not getting that extra information number one doesn't use as much most much depth information I couldn't fool it with a photo I actually printed a photo of
[15:43] myself and tried to unlock it and like may give some depth and everything that didn't work but oneplus already acknowledges I think internally that it's not quite to the same level of security so they have a finger parameter
[15:56] on the back still first of all so they kept that so keep using that for the more secure things that's what it's good for but it also won't work in low light it won't work if you're super backlit these are all things that you can shine
[16:09] infrared light on yourself with and true in face ID and it'll still work this won't work at night face ID facial recognition won't work at night it's recognition won't work at night it's using a low-light camera it won't work
[16:22] when you're backlit because these cameras struggle in your backlit so certain things like that separate these two experiences and what they're good at overall though 1 + 5 t is turned out to be pretty freakin sweet for this amount
[16:36] of money what other questions you guys have about this 1 + 5 t or any of the have about this 1 + 5 t or any of the stuff on the desk so when I was giveaway use my Twitter and Instagram will my I can't be considered a bot and
[16:50] disqualified no as long as you're following the rules which there are only following the rules which there are only to follow both the counseling a win
[17:02] which phone here has the longest battery life during regular operation I would life during regular operation I would give that award to razor phone which right now is edging out pixel to an iPhone 10 probably pixel - in second
[17:19] iPhone 10 and third place iPhone 10 battery life isn't quite as good as iPhone 8 + which has that smaller screen and bigger cell so I'd put that a little best battery life that is actually the razor phone what's up what product you
[17:37] looking forward to most camera or phones or other cool tech honestly I have to say a Tesla Roadster which is probably not the most common answer but I have to say it and looking forward to that tech electric motors massive batteries and
[17:51] electric motors massive batteries and cars so fam marques thanks for all you channel will be even half this size this is what I love to do thanks for inspiring again thanks for watching and I'm I'm glad to be in a position where
[18:04] the videos I make get seen by people who are also encouraged to make videos is it worth upgrading from pixel excel to pixel to excel I've been having a few minor issues and it's very tempting so if you have been having issues it seems
[18:19] like you're looking for an upgrade in which case I'd say yeah this is a great which case I'd say yeah this is a great phone to upgrade to but a lot of people like an even older phone and they're considering do I buy pixel to excel or
[18:33] pixel XL right now both of them are new in which case you could probably save your money and still get a great phone with future off software updates and a great camera and great performance in stock Android in the pixel XL the og but
[18:48] if you're having issues you will not be disappointed in this phone pretty sure I'd be curious what issues you have with the pixel though how's the battery of the 5 T compared to the 5 it's been alright I mean it's not notably better
[19:01] or worse people have been complaining about the fact the battery is not bigger even though it's a bigger phone and a bigger screen and that's because they it's still I think of 3,000 million power cell
[19:13] but it's a pretty good battery life still no complaints from me have you
[19:26] have you noticed a visual difference oh man that has been fun okay yeah I do want to show you guys this I didn't even put this in the notes but okay the pixel got an update you know how there was all the complaints about the display of the
[19:41] pixel - it's almost funny to me how massive of a change they made of like all the colors look muted it looks really dull srgb doesn't really pop for me and this AMOLED display has so much more range why don't you guys use it so
[19:54] they pushed an update to make the saturated mode a little bit more crazy I my home screen right now am i off with the glare is this good
[20:11] might not but that's the way the phone looks in the boosted mode now if I go looks in the boosted mode now if I go into our display settings here so I'm
[20:23] into our display settings here so I'm making a lot of noise you have your colors this is the boosted mode and in a normal mode again I go home this is the about you know it's still pretty dull not too bad but boosted is what I've
[20:39] been using and people are complaining this doesn't really change much it's not really boosted enough I want that I want that Samsung full saturated look so what they did with the software update was they added this saturated mode and when
[20:53] they added this saturated mode and when you click it everything gets blasted in saturation oh man it's really hard to to show the colors here but like it's gone to the next level of like over saturation I
[21:08] almost think they like wanted to make people regret asking for it because it's so much more saturated in this mode than it is in natural or boosted so that's what I want to show you but it's I'll just leave it on boost it it looks lit
[21:24] religious - saturated you put it in a that saturated mode so I just leave it and boost it it's crazy though why no pixel 2xl giveaway oh that's because this phone is even harder to get the henna iPhone 10 trying to get
[21:39] 25 pixel to excels that'll be pretty tough and also because the fact that I kind of want it to be that thousand dollar phone giveaway where iPhone 10 is a thousand dollars do you want to buy it maybe maybe not but if it's free I'll do
[21:53] pixel too isn't a thousand dollars but Note 8 is so that's the same thing on really want to spend that much maybe not but if you win it it's great so that's obviously I'm sure people would be happy getting a free one either way what are
[22:11] your thoughts about a 5 inch screen with no bezels for a smaller phone I have a large hand but I find the iPhone 10 and s 8 or too tall yeah that'd be nice I s 8 or too tall yeah that'd be nice I actually so iPhone 10 is a 5.8 inch
[22:25] actually so iPhone 10 is a 5.8 inch display I would actually want a and you measure it even though it's a little bit narrower I would want a bigger bit narrower I would want a bigger iPhone 10 display I think I would be
[22:39] iPhone 10 display I think I would be cool with like a 6.2 inch iPhone 10 so that would be like an iPhone 10 plus and we've seen these rumours of it start to pop up now it's never too early for iPhone rumors but this is that 5.8 inch
[22:54] corner to corner like a smaller version like that would also be pretty nice the thing is Apple never really makes three of the same form factor iPhone it's always one or two so I don't think that's gonna happen but I'm interested
[23:09] to see how they handle it next year how does the second camera on the five t what is intelligent pixel technology that is a great question I don't know I
[23:21] that is a great question I don't know I would love to find out that Chad is flying but that's my ok so here's here's the way they describe it to me and all the fact that I don't know how they do it their logic with the dual cameras on
[23:36] the back of this phone is you know we don't need a telephoto cam to do portrait mode we can do it with AI which okay great other phones are doing that's cool so what is the second camera for the
[23:49] second camera is a special low-light camera it has an F 1.7 aperture okay well the primary camera also has an F 1.7 aperture so that's a little
[24:01] confusing why is this second camera better at low-light besides that it isn't optically stabilized as far as I know so it's the same aperture different sensors are sorry yes same aperture different sensor both no I know oh is
[24:17] what's better about it they call it intelligent pixel technology and here's intelligent pixel technology and here's what they say it does is it combines and it's also a higher megapixel count it's a twenty-something megapixel camera
[24:29] 21 versus a small and megapixel count so that pixels are smaller worse for low-light this technology combines four pixels into one don't know what that means physically speaking but that gives you a four times larger pixel for better
[24:47] low-light performance and better high ISO sensitivity that's intelligent pixel technology and that's why it'll take that sensor in the lowest of low light scenarios here's the thing when I think
[25:00] about physics and like the physical sensors and what they do a pixel is a pixel no matter what if you take this 21 megapixel sensor and spread it out over
[25:12] this this area each physical pixel is a certain size and you don't just dissolve the border between pixels to make bigger ones like I'm not sure what they mean by combines four pixels into one so that's my challenge with understanding that and
[25:26] the fact that it doesn't work that well leads me to believe it's not doing the sort of magic it implies it does it's pretty ok sometimes but oftentimes the main camera does just as well if not better in low light so they probably
[25:42] could have just gone with one camera like the pixel two and and just focus that focus on that entirely that's just me though haha I haven't use any Android till now is it worth upgrading the iPhone 8 if
[25:55] is it worth upgrading the iPhone 8 if yes 8 or 8 + oh you've only used Android oh yeah if you watch my iPhone 8 review that's a pretty good phone - iPhone 8 and 8 plus are great I prefer big phones what about these other phones on the
[26:08] table since we kind of have them there I might as well steamroll through these real quick so if your stream is lagging refresh the browser like if stuff is connections being weird or stuff's dropping off or if you didn't get that
[26:24] audio update just refresh it once it'll probably all be good alright the rest of - this is the daily iPhone 10 as a daily that's the thing we have 1 + 5 T which I talked about we have this phone here
[26:38] this is a kind of an oddball this is blackberry motion this is a not your typical phone is this in the matte frame right there not your typical form because blackberry usually puts keyboards on their phones they didn't
[26:54] put one on this phone geez you didn't put one on this phone they just put a full touch screen and the virtual keyboard which looks like that or if you keyboard which looks like that or if you don't want to put it in the browser no
[27:10] virtual keyboard looks like that that's the black gray keyboard it's kind of a weird thing because blackberry are used to you know you people buy BlackBerry's business apps and everything blackberry does well it still has that still has
[27:25] blackberry hub in there it still has all these blackberry features that you saw on the Prive and previous BlackBerry's but it's all touchscreen now and I haven't really even gotten oh it has an activity button I've gotten the chance
[27:39] to use this full time but I'm just kind of observing it for now what it does well it kind of stands up flat by itself so that's a good plus it's always good so that's a good plus it's always good when a phone does that case in point oh
[27:52] god now that the pressure is mounting I have to be able to do this have to be able to do this okay maybe not but flat-bottomed USBC speaker headphone jack big deal for some people there's a headphone jack the
[28:05] buttons are pretty solid clicky it's it's a lot of metal to be honest and the carbon fiber isn't actually carbon fiber it's this coated plastic material but it looks pretty cool so it's a blackberry again the fingerprint reader here is
[28:21] underneath this like logoed button and you have those those big buttons on the you have those those big buttons on the bottom yeah man it's it's still got big bezels can you see that still got big bezels top bezel bottom bezels pretty
[28:37] bezels top bezel bottom bezels pretty big so I'm not convinced this is going to save blackberry I feel like I've said that sentence maybe 12 times in videos but this is this is a thing that exists now blackberry motion
[28:51] now blackberry motion good luck blackberry okay do G mix to literally just got this haven't even booted it up yet but remember the
[29:03] original do G mix I made a video about in the smartphone's vs. no 2017 versus bezels video with smartphones dang that was some weird span you guys are just that guy this is the sequel to it I guess it says
[29:20] cameras and this orientation now it has a fingerprint reader on the back in the good job there and put a lot of other weird this is a heavy phone and I believe it's ceramic which is why it feels like this it's a big heavy build
[29:34] has metal all the way around it has a premium look now so instead of what about red hydrogen damn I don't know man that's you guys were asking about red hydrogen like weeks ago like do you have any updates to that I don't know I all I
[29:50] got from red was what they told me when I made that video and that video that I made about the red hydrogen has everything I'm allowed to say about it so I don't have any updates nothing news coming from them but to
[30:02] it can't be about that time so looking out for that but yeah no that's that's definitely something what if that comes out right around the smartphone Awards that could be a weird one we'll see
[30:16] mix oh I haven't even really used it yet it's just like here's your first look bezels are a little bigger actually it goes back to the traditional top bottom bezels looks like it has an extra sensor that I've I should really boot it up and
[30:30] use it but there it is mkbhd seems electric cars will be the first to experience solid-state batteries when do you expect to see SSDs batteries when do you expect to see SSDs in OSS bees and cell phones and other
[30:42] in OSS bees and cell phones and other smaller tech solid-state batteries and cell phones I don't know exactly what that means yet so I'm gonna have to look that up is it in electric cars already because I don't think that's any
[30:55] electric cars use these lithium-ion batteries we already see out there Panasonic's been making them for years so I don't know how long we'll see it in so I don't know how long we'll see it in cars or in phones with all this tech in
[31:10] your life do you feel like you need digital detox if you mean unplugging then sometimes yes I just do unplug like on a weekend for Ultimate Frisbee or recommended okay this last phone then I'm just gonna
[31:25] blaze through a quick because it's kind of neat is what's called what is it here the box is pretty sweet and it's maybe one of the coolest boxes of any phone this year I wish I did an unboxing but look look at this look at how about that
[31:41] unboxing experience it all just kind of unfolds unfolds this is meizu pro 7 plus this is what
[31:53] thing you may notice about it that's kind of weird is it has a screen on the back it has a two inch color screen on the back of the phone and it works by
[32:05] the back of the phone and it works by cycling between these various displays now it's still a full on screen and phone on the front which has this impressing impressionable home button right now you unlock it by swiping up
[32:19] you go to multitasking just like an iPhone by swiping up there you go it's definitely got a heavy skin on it so if you're not into the skins this is not gonna make you happy but this is a meizu phone so you kind of know we're getting
[32:32] into but the thing about it is people been talking about that screen on the been talking about that screen on the back you have the settings for it right here secondary display you can set a different wallpaper for the secondary
[32:44] display right now it's the camera you go back and you can decide to show motivating to see how many steps you've taken every time you look around at the back of the phone I just wish it was more consistent with activating bam bam
[32:57] more consistent with activating bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam there it is your weather if I had taken five hundred steps today it would show me every time steps today it would show me every time there so that's kind of neat I guess
[33:12] it's not a life changer it's not gonna make me want to never use the phone of cool so says why didn't you do a v3 review question because we've had so many other reviews and so many other things we've
[33:26] done in the last couple of weeks and months that by the time like it would be around now that I'm getting to reviewing the v30 it's almost like too late I did the top features video of it and none of that's different so that's kind of why
[33:38] I'm talking about it now whereas might be thirty it's still charging over there be thirty it's still charging over there I meant to have it here but um okay do soon keep up the good work Thanks no I think galaxy s 9 is gonna be
[33:54] April that tends to be one that comes out there we go V 30 so here's your V 30 this would be the most expensive phone that's not a flagship over here so it's not the pixel it's not the iPhone but it is more expensive than all of these it's
[34:09] about an $800 phone right now yeah it's still a great phone it's still great phone V 30 in case you're wondering has the dual cameras has a super wide angle camera on the back instead of the telephoto but this might be the most
[34:23] telephoto but this might be the most impressive video camera in a phone well obviously of this year so likely ever has all the manual controls it has an S log modes so LG has great camera tech and now they're using it to capture
[34:36] extra dynamic range and extra information if you're a video person this might be one of the best phones to get to fill around with that obviously just go straight to auto mode and then just hit the record button and go but if
[34:50] you're not that guy then this is a really interesting look so the 30 is quite unique has a headphone jack there you go right up top note 8 iPhone 10th
[35:05] you go right up top note 8 iPhone 10th yes that's a thing which of these phones will survive the long run PS I got the one plus 5 that's always the golden question I tend to give my nod to the flagships as far as surviving I've used
[35:22] oneplus phones also for multiple years so I would give it a nod to one plus five for probably surviving the long run one plus 5t will probably also survive one plus 5t will probably also survive LGB 30 people have had the weirdest
[35:34] issue I've ever seen with LG phones is their boot looping which has happened as their boot looping which has happened as recently as did g5 I've seen but I think LG is pretty much certified pixel to and iPhone 10 definitely gonna last the long
[35:49] run Apple tends to update their phones for the longest that of anyone and pixel being in line for I think two three four years of updates is probably also gonna survive the long run so I give the nod to probably these two first for
[36:04] surviving the longest these two on the second tier for surviving the longest second tier for surviving the longest and then blackberry who knows do G the question mark and then meizu has their own rom so raise your phone that's also
[36:19] phone next year we're getting a razor phone too who knows hopefully I want to see it I want to see 120 Hertz OLED that's what I want to see
[36:35] not working while the screen is off on the note 8 no it's usually been fine for me it's pretty good for the alarm clock actually because I have the alarm clock set on my note 8 it would be set to like gradually increase volume and so it
[36:48] and then the edge lighting would kind of light up the table that it's on it's light up the table that it's on it's pretty soothing to be honest
[37:06] and livestreaming turns out a 6300 sometimes overheats when it's in a live stream for too long when it's on and the sensor is cooking so that's why we're talking to this angle for a little bit can we expect
[37:20] holy smokes that is exactly what I am working on can I confirm it someone said can we expect a portrait mode explained video that's the exact title of the video but I'm working on so yeah sure you can you can expect that yeah I
[37:39] sure you can you can expect that yeah I deal with that all the time oh yeah that's pretty much the gamut of what I wanted to talk through as far as this live stream goes anyone else have any questions people are talking to the
[37:54] super chat but not really a asking questions so there's plenty of fast moving giveaway update please I gave you the giveaway update at the beginning so if you want to scroll back to that feel free to look at that audio is behind a
[38:06] bit that may happen if again if any lag happens you can just refresh and OH audio is out of sync now all right maybe that's queue to end it that makes sense
[38:20] good got it but ya know that's pretty much all I had to say for the live stream so you got your giveaway update you got your smartphone updates talk through a bunch of stuff any questions you may have this
[38:34] is definitely the time to ask we can answer a couple like a fast fast-moving whatever lightning round lightning questions Bitcoin oh man lightning questions Bitcoin oh man Bitcoin Bitcoin see I took a class I've
[38:50] taken classes in college or we talked about Bitcoin and this was years ago and we were shocked years ago at how fast and how consistent it was moving and this is like I'm now two years out of college and Bitcoin just yesterday
[39:05] passed ten thousand dollars for one unit for one Bitcoin and then this morning for one Bitcoin and then this morning passed 11,000 in that time I signed up and bought my first Bitcoin so I I'm in at around
[39:24] my first Bitcoin so I I'm in at around $11,000 for a Bitcoin I don't want to interesting to see if it keeps going if it starts to become theirs they could okay but for the reason it's so hyped in the US at least right now is because
[39:37] you're starting to be able to pay for things with Bitcoin a little bit more it trickles a little bit more down payments for cars and Bitcoin down payments for major purchases in Bitcoin large electronics expenses using Bitcoin to
[39:51] electronics expenses using Bitcoin to pay for it and because one Bitcoin is eleven thousand dollars you often pay for something in like zero point zero seven seven four eight one two three Bitcoin and that's cool you can do that
[40:03] but then Bitcoin is also convertible back and forth between cash between US dollars and it's pretty liquid so in a short matter of time you can buy ten thousand dollars in Bitcoin wait for it to go up to twelve thousand dollars sell
[40:16] whatever so that's what a lot of people are doing are just buying Bitcoin over and over again and a price as people keep buying it just keeps going up as the demand keeps going up price keeps going up and it just keeps rising so let
[40:30] me check what it is right now I just installed coinbase this morning when I want to go do that how much is a Bitcoin let me refresh Bitcoin eleven thousand
[40:42] let me refresh Bitcoin eleven thousand eighty dollars it's up 1145 dollars which is twelve percent today so long story short really interesting again I
[40:54] haven't been investing in Bitcoin at all I just got in obviously it's not the ideal point to invest in Bitcoin but I'm just kind of curious so this will give me a reason to keep track of it a little more but yeah that is a that is a weird
[41:08] okay that's been it for this livestream shout out to the twenty thousand of you awesome I'm gonna leave this stream up probably too for people to catch up on all these updates and to know about the giveaway but that's pretty much it
