40 years ago I was a consultant on the TEP4 contract in Saudi Arabia where I was advising on the telecoms network for what was the world's first and largest GSM project.

Anutosh touched upon the point of UPI. 25:01

But I mostly use Samsung's Tap to Pay as most of the cafes, coffee house and grocery shows have swiping machine and Samsung tap to pay does payment in just one tap... So it comes handy for me instead of opening Upi app first, then Scanning Qr code and then enter pin and all. I know these takes just 30 seconds and it's easy to done but tap to pay using nfc is faster. I mostly use QR code based upi in small shops and it's a game changer as everyone has upi option and I don't need to carry wallet and cash. I just need my phone woth 20 percent battery and I can do anywhere in India without facing any problem...
Nah bro, in India we don't use nfc. We use upi Its a qr code to share and transfer money Its operated by government of India so it's safe It is both online and offline
Who told you we don't use nfc? We use both NFC and Qr based Upi. I have Samsung Pay and I have my credit card and debit cards in my Samsung phone and I literally buy my everyday coffee with NFC...
@@deepakbisht4957You do realise that you’re a micro micro minority,right? 99.99% of us here aren’t even aware about NFC because it’s practically irrelevant.
So the S8 display was called infinity display because of the switch to the 18.5:9 aspect ratio along with the curved edges becoming standard across the board. Up until that point Samsung used to do an edge variant of whatever S phone they released for example S6 and S6 Edge, S7 and S7 Edge, and the Note Edge came a year before the S6 along with the Note 4.

Regarding infinity display and edges: S6 edge had the curve on both sides, it didn't start with the S8. On the other hand, the S8 (alongside the LG G6) had the display nearing the top and bottom edges (before moving the front-facing camera to the inside of the screen with the S10 which enabled them to actually "reach" the edges), which is why they called it infinity display.
22:45 NFC can work fine with removable backplates. The 2013 BlackBerry Q10 and Z10 had the NFC coil stuck to the backplate connected with a couple of small pogo pins, which seemed to work well.
NFC is huge for college students, at least in the US. Our campus student IDs are done via smartphone primarily. Most use them to swipe into dining halls and buildings as well. There is an option for a physical card but it’s very rare to see someone with one
Let me try to explain UPI so you guys understand UPI is a protocol for payments like RSS is for podcasts or Fediverse for social media, you can have a UPI ID/QR code and anyone can pay you regardless of which app they are using.
@@anujgupta1998vermo is small in front of UPI in my knowledge as Venmo operates in it's own ecosystem wheras UPI is huge, it actually transfer payment across different banks and even platforms can integrate UPI gateways. Upi don't share bank details. It actually Create a unique ID to send money and bank settle those money transactions later... The best thing is UPI is broad. It is actually integrated woth banking systems and you can even do financial transactions. I can literally buy Stocks, things from e commerce Websites and anything from any store. Even for using a washroom or buying a gum from a small stall I can do 1 cent transaction using this as everyone has UPI. I literally live cashless.
@@anujgupta1998 No its not because Venmo charges processing fee in certain cases and you can only use it if others have venmo too but here because API was fully disclosed and RBI made strict restrictions to banks by saying that the architecture was created by them and not the banks and so they could not charge customers any fee on payments and so current situation is you can pay anyone with any bank account and with any other UPI App be it google pay or a bank UPI app and they all work together by just scanning a qr code

As a foreigner the lack of support for other payment systems is difficult. Couldn't book a indiago flight with a visa card from America....small text said it only accepts india based cards. Also paying tolls was not convenient as I couldn't buy a toll sticker.
I believe android beam did not require the devices to keep touching within nfc range. NFC paired the devices and used Bluetooth to complete the transfer. S Beam was the Samsung extension of Android beam that used wifi direct after pairing for faster transfers. I do wish quick share had the option to use NFC for the initial handshake as sometimes it takes a while to detect the target device.
When it comes to thin… my iPad Pro 11 M4 “looked” thinner however in daily use it has no impact and I no longer notice it. It was a marketing point. It got peoples attention.
I have the 13in M4 and my girlfriend has the 12.9in M2. I picked hers up after using mine for a week and it was very noticeable how much lighter it is.
In fairness, when it comes to tablets, thinner and lighter matters a bit more. My Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is like 5mm thick, and as a result, it's still kinda usable handheld despite its ~15 inch screen. Mind you I got that size to use it primarily like a laptop/monitor and it's infrequent I actually use it handheld rather than tabletop, but the fact it's only like a pound and a half makes it a lot more usable handheld than if it were a couple mm thicker and weighed 2 pounds. Phones, though? I genuinely cannot see the point.
The S8's screen was also the infinity display because of the 18:9 aspect ratio:) because prior to it the S6 edge and the S7 edge also had both sides curved
IMO youtube is the best podcast platform because everyone uploads video to it. On spotify it’s hit or miss on whether the video version is uploaded, and there’s no comments. Comments make it for me, having video is nice for when I wanna throw a podcast on the TV while I clean the apartment.
Some considerations regarding shared comments across all podcast platforms: - Different platforms can have different comment structure. Replies allowed? Upvoting? Downvoting? Threading? - What if a platform has worse tools for preventing spam? Now all platforms are affected.
On the "Infinity Display" bit... I believe the Note Edge and the S6 "Edge" and the S7 "Edge" were just plain "Edge" displays. The "INFINITY" part for the S8/S8+ came because of the rounded corners around the screen and the fact that the top and bottom bezels got reduced by a bunch (they removed the SAMSUNG branding on the forehead and the physical home button for the first time), making the screen experience a lot more immersive and seeming "infinite".
23:00 NFC is not a big thing in India because we already have a different digital payment mechanism called UPI. It works through scanning QR codes. Every store and street vendor has it. So it's not that big of a miss, especially if payments is the only thing you plan to use it for.
David: *pronounces "Nummer eins" perfectly* Andrew: "Noomur uhynz?" Somehow, this really reminds me of a moment in an ancient LTT video where Linus completely butchers a German warning. If you want to look it up: "This cooler VOIDS your warranty! - Worth the risk??" at 4:17
I feel like the infinity display wasn't really about the edge screen, they had just removed the physical home button and made the display much taller (less top and bottom bezels too) so the front of the phone felt almost like all screen for the first time. The edges were part of the aesthetic but not the main thing
I am from India, but living in the US right now and so yeah i think Zelle is pretty much what UPI is trying to do. The only difference I can see is UPI is more "open source protocol" whereas Zelle is owned by (i think) chase? So the protocol for zelle is closed source and they have a monopoly over the protocol. HOWEVER, I do find NFC far better because 1) UPI doesn't work with Credit Card...you need NFC Tap to Pay for that 2) If you have NFC Tap to Pay for credit card, may as well have it for phones too! Simplify everything instead of having so many different protocols 3) NFC is slightly faster than scanning a QR Code (which UPI relies on for merchant payments)
I love NFC as I own a Samsung phone and it only takes 5 seconds to do payment but the thing is UPI is literally everywhere and it does it's job in 15-20 seconds and you don't need any swiping machine. All you need is sticker of Qr code. If you are talking about credit card then there is rupay credit card that upi supports. I don't know why UPI is nkt supporting Visa and Master card. Maybe because Rupay is indian...
I prefer NFC over India but Upi does it's job and upi option is everywhere and it don't need any hardware. Just a sticker pr photo of QR in the shop... But NFC is fast. It only takes 5 seconds(tap to pay)
They're talking about different things. NFC is a wireless standard. UPI is an agreement between banks. If they wanted to, UPI could work over NFC. But it's unnecessary.

31:38 The lanyard makes more sense to be worn crossbody, imo. At least that's how I use it for when I travel. But then, I am short so maybe that's why it makes more sense for me.
I have an Aura ring and it does a great job of activity detection and also allows you to set the activity for a previous days activity. The sleep score is great. The tips, hints and feedback when things change (sick, caffeine...) with info. I like having way better battery life and quick charging compared to my watch. I did get grandfathered into no subscription because I had first gen.
I think that for 90% of the population, batteries only need to last one day if they are charged habitually at bedtime. Therefore, choosing light and thin (pocketable or easy to carry in a bag) makes your life easier every moment of the day, inconveniencing you only in creating a charging habit at bedtime. Those people I know who don’t charge every night, are the people who have to panic charge their phone at some random moment during the day (my wife and kids and most of my staff) or carry chargers with them. That won’t be fixed by batteries that last slightly longer than one day. The rest of us will still charge our phones at bedtime and have a full battery in the morning, and they’ll still- at some point during the day- run out of juice, just maybe at a different point in the day because they have slightly longer runtime.
Doubtful. I am a small creator and get a bunch of comments saying I hate certain brands cause other brands pay me. No one does lol the issue was that Marques isn’t asking the right questions, but at the same time Apple has an NDA on their independent repair program, wouldn’t be surprised if Apple did the same or similar thing with interviews. Pure speculation though
@@ninjanerdstudent6937 right, my point was that if people post comments saying MKBHD is paid, a plant, etc, he’s probably just ignore them. It wouldn’t be surprising. Not saying that Louis isn’t relevant, I’m saying that it doesn’t matter how many subs you got, people are always gonna accuse you of something.
@@RealWorldReview I both agree and disagree with the topics Rossman said. Brownlee has stated that if he was to only use one phone, he would prefer Android over iphone. However, testing "all" phones comes down to his job as a reviewer. I doubt Brownlee signed an NDA-equivalent for reviews. Apple even used one of Brownlee's quotes in marketing affairs, and Brownlee did not like that, but it was public knowledge at that point. I digress. It would have been nice to hear a 1-minute mention of Rossman in the lengthy video cast because I enjoy channel crossovers. Thanks for your reply.
@@ninjanerdstudent6937 ah yes I mean NDA for the interviews. Sure, creators are seeded review samples, but most people have the integrity to review with not just lie or side with the company in hopes they can get more products in the future. I was under the impression Louis was focused on reviewers talking to companies though, not how they review products. I mean the video with Tim Apple was rushed at the end it just felt like a critical question was cut. That and the content is why people think that there’s something off there. As for reviews, no one is gonna side with a company to stay on good terms. Just like most 2mil+ creators, people are gonna watch even if you’re late or on time
For the knob on the case, I can see that. At my job, I spend a lot of time in "headphone" activities, doing things I don't need to interact with anyone. I usually leave my phone at my desk and wear my headphones as I wander our warehouse (about 5000 square feet). If the case is half, or a quarter of the weight of my Note 10 plus (don't shame me, it still works like a champ), I'd be giddy about it. My earphones are a pain to adjust volume on, so this would be cool.
Note! NFC on Android phones with quick/nearby share can be used to quickly turn on device visibility Explanation: You want to send a photo through quick share, you turn on Bluetooth, location and all that, but your friend doesn't have any of that enabled (he just might not care), so you can tap two phones back to back and your friend gets the "choose who to be visible to" dialog to pop up on their phone.
The biggest upgrade to the Z Flip 6. In my opinion is the new 50mp main camera module that has the semi optical zoom. Having that camera flexibility is clutch.
Love the videos guys. One thing I'd let you guys know is that the Whoop Band auto detects workouts and will typically learn and guess what workout you did (which you can change afterwards / at any point in the app on the phone). In my experience, it's gotten really good at auto detecting activities (it's honestly one of my biggest gripes with the Apple Watch is how u have to log the workout without just suggesting you start a workout), YMMV.
UPI works exactly as David suggests - a QR code links directly to the recipient account. Individual account details are verified using the contact number on the mobile device and matching it against the registered number in the account. Sender scans the code using the payment app and goes on to pay. There are no transaction charges at present (though that may change soon). Nobody I know uses NFC.

@@deepakbisht4957You do realise that you’re a micro micro minority,right? 99.99% of us here aren’t even aware about NFC because it’s practically irrelevant.
NFC could be integrated with UPI, but QR codes are just too good, I can zoom like 20ft in a queue scan the QR without a physical touch.
Indonesia also got the same method, called it Qris.
So the S8 display was called infinity display because of the switch to the 18.5:9 aspect ratio along with the curved edges becoming standard across the board. Up until that point Samsung used to do an edge variant of whatever S phone they released for example S6 and S6 Edge, S7 and S7 Edge, and the Note Edge came a year before the S6 along with the Note 4.
Underrated comment.
I am so glad you said this. I was shouting at my phone as they kept talking about the S6 Edge rather than the S8.
In Southeast Asian countries, QR payment is prominent (usually tied to bank account rather than creditcard). I needed NFC in London because the phone signals does not exist in the tube, but in SEA, QR payment is not a problem cus the internet is cheap & has stable signal for big cities.

Most of the people I know change their phones because the battery dies out, and then tend to have battery life as a main decision driver along with camera.
Battery > Thin
that and also, most people use cases, so thinness literally doesn't matter.
I've never had a phone battery die, except on an iPhone 8. Rest are Androids, 2013 Android batteries are still perfectly fine. Coincidence?
Battery life or critical software support, whichever happens to end first.

RUclips will do literally anything but implement the Replace Video feature that Vimeo’s had since 2017
Friday is here! 🕺🕺🕺
22:45 NFC can work fine with removable backplates. The 2013 BlackBerry Q10 and Z10 had the NFC coil stuck to the backplate connected with a couple of small pogo pins, which seemed to work well.
1:02:06 "Are you a fish?" Needs to go on the soundboard!
edit: With context
NFC is huge for college students, at least in the US. Our campus student IDs are done via smartphone primarily. Most use them to swipe into dining halls and buildings as well. There is an option for a physical card but it’s very rare to see someone with one
I like the idea of you guys unboxing different products in the middle of the podcast 😂👌🏽
I remember the Infinity Display Marketing for the Galaxy S8. I loved the silhouette of the phone on that black background. So good.
Let me try to explain UPI so you guys understand
UPI is a protocol for payments like RSS is for podcasts or Fediverse for social media, you can have a UPI ID/QR code and anyone can pay you regardless of which app they are using.
Yes
Isn't venmo similar to UPI ?
@@anujgupta1998vermo is small in front of UPI in my knowledge as Venmo operates in it's own ecosystem wheras UPI is huge, it actually transfer payment across different banks and even platforms can integrate UPI gateways.
Upi don't share bank details. It actually Create a unique ID to send money and bank settle those money transactions later...
The best thing is UPI is broad. It is actually integrated woth banking systems and you can even do financial transactions.
I can literally buy Stocks, things from e commerce Websites and anything from any store. Even for using a washroom or buying a gum from a small stall I can do 1 cent transaction using this as everyone has UPI. I literally live cashless.
@@anujgupta1998 No its not because Venmo charges processing fee in certain cases and you can only use it if others have venmo too but here because API was fully disclosed and RBI made strict restrictions to banks by saying that the architecture was created by them and not the banks and so they could not charge customers any fee on payments and so current situation is you can pay anyone with any bank account and with any other UPI App be it google pay or a bank UPI app and they all work together by just scanning a qr code
UPI was more similar to Indonesia Qris.

To be specific,
Y is considered a vowel when.....
✅ There's no other vowel in the word.
✅ Y is after a consonant at the end of a word.
✅ When Y is after a vowel at the end of a word.
✅ When Y is at the end of a syllable.
✅ When Y is in the middle of a syllable.
It’s that’s Friday weekend feeling guys in the UK. 🇬🇧 However we have gone European! Watching in Greece 🇬🇷 whilst on holiday! Waveform, beer and sun! 🙌
What's up Matt!
Another awesome episode, Samsung nailed it with new watches 😊❤❤❤.
Definitely upgrading to Watch 7
Keep up with great work bringing us podcasts like this 😊❤
Waited for the video version. I'm a big Samsung fan so I wanted yalls take!
It would be amazing, if you could show all the images and videos shown throughout the podcast again in a row at the end! That way we wouldn't have to search though the whole podcast to see that one thing that I was curious to see while listening to it. Thanks!
UPI probably the best payment method in the world should dive into it for some future episode
It’s just Zelle 😂 we have that here. Scan a QR code or enter the persons phone number and instantly transfer them money for free
More probably a Studio channel video!
As a foreigner the lack of support for other payment systems is difficult. Couldn't book a indiago flight with a visa card from America....small text said it only accepts india based cards. Also paying tolls was not convenient as I couldn't buy a toll sticker.
How is it better if you need to scan a barcode?
It's specific to India though, right? How would they even cover it if they're in the US
I believe android beam did not require the devices to keep touching within nfc range. NFC paired the devices and used Bluetooth to complete the transfer.
S Beam was the Samsung extension of Android beam that used wifi direct after pairing for faster transfers.
I do wish quick share had the option to use NFC for the initial handshake as sometimes it takes a while to detect the target device.
33:19 “Allegedly!” needs to be added to the soundboard 😂
when your testing the ring can you see if a reasonable amount of features work when using a pixel?
16:25 I’d like to add material to this list. Specifically no plastic or cheap feeling materials
52:42 The size is actually 47mm
When it comes to thin… my iPad Pro 11 M4 “looked” thinner however in daily use it has no impact and I no longer notice it. It was a marketing point. It got peoples attention.
I have the 13in M4 and my girlfriend has the 12.9in M2. I picked hers up after using mine for a week and it was very noticeable how much lighter it is.
well, it got your attention i guess lmao
In fairness, when it comes to tablets, thinner and lighter matters a bit more.
My Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is like 5mm thick, and as a result, it's still kinda usable handheld despite its ~15 inch screen. Mind you I got that size to use it primarily like a laptop/monitor and it's infrequent I actually use it handheld rather than tabletop, but the fact it's only like a pound and a half makes it a lot more usable handheld than if it were a couple mm thicker and weighed 2 pounds.
Phones, though? I genuinely cannot see the point.
The S8's screen was also the infinity display because of the 18:9 aspect ratio:) because prior to it the S6 edge and the S7 edge also had both sides curved
IMO youtube is the best podcast platform because everyone uploads video to it. On spotify it’s hit or miss on whether the video version is uploaded, and there’s no comments. Comments make it for me, having video is nice for when I wanna throw a podcast on the TV while I clean the apartment.
Some considerations regarding shared comments across all podcast platforms:
- Different platforms can have different comment structure. Replies allowed? Upvoting? Downvoting? Threading?
- What if a platform has worse tools for preventing spam? Now all platforms are affected.
i love how andrew and marques are just stretching without a care lol
they probably sometimes forget that it's also a video podcast haha
Love the collective unboxing!
I'd vote to hear about the ring and the buds3 pro first:)
Galaxy watch ultra is 47mm while the largest Watch 7 is 44mm, I don't know why you guys think they're the same size 52:36?
The thing with the Infinity Display was that they got rid of the Buttons on the front of the device
if you test the oura ring, make sure to note that it's pretty useless without the subscription
In Sweden we usually use Swish for payment between each other, and NFC when in shops.
Robomarques telling me *”Give me your thoughts.”* would be terrifying
On the "Infinity Display" bit...
I believe the Note Edge and the S6 "Edge" and the S7 "Edge" were just plain "Edge" displays. The "INFINITY" part for the S8/S8+ came because of the rounded corners around the screen and the fact that the top and bottom bezels got reduced by a bunch (they removed the SAMSUNG branding on the forehead and the physical home button for the first time), making the screen experience a lot more immersive and seeming "infinite".
Friyay feels with Waveform
23:00 NFC is not a big thing in India because we already have a different digital payment mechanism called UPI. It works through scanning QR codes. Every store and street vendor has it. So it's not that big of a miss, especially if payments is the only thing you plan to use it for.
NFC is superior in any case.
David: *pronounces "Nummer eins" perfectly*
Andrew: "Noomur uhynz?"
Somehow, this really reminds me of a moment in an ancient LTT video where Linus completely butchers a German warning. If you want to look it up: "This cooler VOIDS your warranty! - Worth the risk??" at 4:17
I feel like the infinity display wasn't really about the edge screen, they had just removed the physical home button and made the display much taller (less top and bottom bezels too) so the front of the phone felt almost like all screen for the first time. The edges were part of the aesthetic but not the main thing
Saving this for my trip tomorrow!!
a wise choice indeed
This was my very first episode. Very informative. Thanks
I am from India, but living in the US right now and so yeah i think Zelle is pretty much what UPI is trying to do. The only difference I can see is UPI is more "open source protocol" whereas Zelle is owned by (i think) chase? So the protocol for zelle is closed source and they have a monopoly over the protocol. HOWEVER, I do find NFC far better because 1) UPI doesn't work with Credit Card...you need NFC Tap to Pay for that 2) If you have NFC Tap to Pay for credit card, may as well have it for phones too! Simplify everything instead of having so many different protocols 3) NFC is slightly faster than scanning a QR Code (which UPI relies on for merchant payments)
Correction for 1) UPI now does work with Credit cards (only Rupay as of now, Visa & Matercard are not yet onboarded).
I love NFC as I own a Samsung phone and it only takes 5 seconds to do payment but the thing is UPI is literally everywhere and it does it's job in 15-20 seconds and you don't need any swiping machine. All you need is sticker of Qr code.
If you are talking about credit card then there is rupay credit card that upi supports. I don't know why UPI is nkt supporting Visa and Master card. Maybe because Rupay is indian...
David's "dyson zone and vision pro" comment absolutely killed me
Bingo, let’s go! It’s Friday y’all.
Congrats on the engagement!
Mobile payments in India is biggest in the word in terms of sheer transaction volume. +1 to what was written in discord. We don't use NFC. Its UPI.
I prefer NFC over India but Upi does it's job and upi option is everywhere and it don't need any hardware. Just a sticker pr photo of QR in the shop...
But NFC is fast. It only takes 5 seconds(tap to pay)
They're talking about different things. NFC is a wireless standard. UPI is an agreement between banks. If they wanted to, UPI could work over NFC. But it's unnecessary.

1:03:26 "yes you do so you don't get hit by the ambulance" 😂
What was David thinking?😂
@@moonpie21012 right? 😂
31:38 The lanyard makes more sense to be worn crossbody, imo. At least that's how I use it for when I travel. But then, I am short so maybe that's why it makes more sense for me.
IT'S FRIDAY MY DUDES
Are there any smart rings with just Bluetooth media controls?
Honestly I disagree. Give normal people more battery life and they will prefer that over thinner
Yes. But to be fair, the iPhones are really thick and really heavy.
I have an Aura ring and it does a great job of activity detection and also allows you to set the activity for a previous days activity. The sleep score is great. The tips, hints and feedback when things change (sick, caffeine...) with info. I like having way better battery life and quick charging compared to my watch. I did get grandfathered into no subscription because I had first gen.
Marquees had more Akon songs in the bag😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
I think that for 90% of the population, batteries only need to last one day if they are charged habitually at bedtime.
Therefore, choosing light and thin (pocketable or easy to carry in a bag) makes your life easier every moment of the day, inconveniencing you only in creating a charging habit at bedtime.
Those people I know who don’t charge every night, are the people who have to panic charge their phone at some random moment during the day (my wife and kids and most of my staff) or carry chargers with them.
That won’t be fixed by batteries that last slightly longer than one day. The rest of us will still charge our phones at bedtime and have a full battery in the morning, and they’ll still- at some point during the day- run out of juice, just maybe at a different point in the day because they have slightly longer runtime.
We might get GTA VI before Louis Rossman situation is addressed...
Yeah! 😝
Why address that at all ? Meh everyone can says what they like these days... you don't gotta react to all that
They're about consumer electronics and that should be okay. I doubt nor think the need to respond is felt. Also cant upset the Fruit Toddler
Am I wrong for not knowing or caring
Why should they? Legitimate question. Louis makes a name for himself by causing drama. They have nothing to gain from getting into it with him.
Great video, very unbiased when talking about products.
I wish they would talk about the Louis Rossman response.
Doubtful. I am a small creator and get a bunch of comments saying I hate certain brands cause other brands pay me. No one does lol the issue was that Marques isn’t asking the right questions, but at the same time Apple has an NDA on their independent repair program, wouldn’t be surprised if Apple did the same or similar thing with interviews. Pure speculation though
@@RealWorldReview Rossman has over 2,000,000 subscribers. That's no small deal.
@@ninjanerdstudent6937 right, my point was that if people post comments saying MKBHD is paid, a plant, etc, he’s probably just ignore them. It wouldn’t be surprising. Not saying that Louis isn’t relevant, I’m saying that it doesn’t matter how many subs you got, people are always gonna accuse you of something.
@@RealWorldReview I both agree and disagree with the topics Rossman said. Brownlee has stated that if he was to only use one phone, he would prefer Android over iphone. However, testing "all" phones comes down to his job as a reviewer. I doubt Brownlee signed an NDA-equivalent for reviews. Apple even used one of Brownlee's quotes in marketing affairs, and Brownlee did not like that, but it was public knowledge at that point. I digress. It would have been nice to hear a 1-minute mention of Rossman in the lengthy video cast because I enjoy channel crossovers. Thanks for your reply.
@@ninjanerdstudent6937 ah yes I mean NDA for the interviews. Sure, creators are seeded review samples, but most people have the integrity to review with not just lie or side with the company in hopes they can get more products in the future. I was under the impression Louis was focused on reviewers talking to companies though, not how they review products. I mean the video with Tim Apple was rushed at the end it just felt like a critical question was cut. That and the content is why people think that there’s something off there. As for reviews, no one is gonna side with a company to stay on good terms. Just like most 2mil+ creators, people are gonna watch even if you’re late or on time
36:46 what happened to the audio here!! i heard autotuned vocals
Adam hit the soundboard 😂
The best unboxing clip, like seeing a bunch of kids opening the boxes of new toys wholesome
For the knob on the case, I can see that. At my job, I spend a lot of time in "headphone" activities, doing things I don't need to interact with anyone. I usually leave my phone at my desk and wear my headphones as I wander our warehouse (about 5000 square feet). If the case is half, or a quarter of the weight of my Note 10 plus (don't shame me, it still works like a champ), I'd be giddy about it. My earphones are a pain to adjust volume on, so this would be cool.
1:29:04 As a german listening to this podcast i had a very good time listening to you guys trying to speak german.😂 But well done guys!
Note!
NFC on Android phones with quick/nearby share can be used to quickly turn on device visibility
Explanation:
You want to send a photo through quick share, you turn on Bluetooth, location and all that, but your friend doesn't have any of that enabled (he just might not care), so you can tap two phones back to back and your friend gets the "choose who to be visible to" dialog to pop up on their phone.
What a chaotic unboxing. I love it!
The amount of wild things that happened during the unboxing that was hilarious
The biggest upgrade to the Z Flip 6. In my opinion is the new 50mp main camera module that has the semi optical zoom. Having that camera flexibility is clutch.
23:00 In India, we don’t need NFC for mobile payments. We have UPI. FYI: India have highest number of mobile transactions.
Love the videos guys. One thing I'd let you guys know is that the Whoop Band auto detects workouts and will typically learn and guess what workout you did (which you can change afterwards / at any point in the app on the phone). In my experience, it's gotten really good at auto detecting activities (it's honestly one of my biggest gripes with the Apple Watch is how u have to log the workout without just suggesting you start a workout), YMMV.
UPI works exactly as David suggests - a QR code links directly to the recipient account. Individual account details are verified using the contact number on the mobile device and matching it against the registered number in the account.
Sender scans the code using the payment app and goes on to pay. There are no transaction charges at present (though that may change soon).
Nobody I know uses NFC.
I was wondering if you guys have considered adding the video podcast to spotify?
I would love to see a full review of the buds 3 pro, like fit form and all that stuff, cause my ears struggle to keep buds in, and only first gen samsung buds with the wings has actually worked for my ears so far :c
1:12:24 pls do a review on the galaxy watch 7. I know that's nothing much difference, but I hope to see a proper review or comparisons with the 6 classic. Is the watch 7 have all the features the the watch 6 classic....ty and appreciate that
Great episode guys! I really enjoy the podcast.
I've noticed the music erase thing it works will, but the audio track will be robot sounding it's better than muting, though
Adam, I just learned they have oura ring covers on amazon for when you're working out :)
46:13 it's not the Fold. S24 Ultra.
Why are there no more chapters included ?
Missed opportunity to test if the S Pen works on the Z Fold's outer display live on the pod :/
55 mins in Andrew wrestles with his collar bone - I love you, Andrew!
