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.
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. The mobiles were Motorola/Nokia, the switching was Ericssons and the backhaul was AT&T/Teletra. I smile and enjoy these podcasts knowing that I had a small part in the original tech that makes them possible... 🤓
22:15 as Marques mentioned the market it is primarily targeted towards is India and NFC payments are not a thing here, we have UPI (scan a QR code > enter pin > payment done) so NFC is not required here so it is a pretty sweet device which looks gorgeous. Anutosh touched upon the point of UPI. 25:01
True primary target is UPI as you only need QR Code that you can put that thing as a sticker or even in your phone gallery and you don't need any hardware for card swipe, dip or tap to pay. 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...
Seeing Marques, tall man that he is, hold the S24 Ultra to his face for the Samsung delivery call and still make it look huge really drives home how big that phone is lol
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.
what do you mean? I feel like most people around 25-30 would have gotten that reference... they definitely know of him, they just couldn't remember him
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
"NFC is versatile, interacting with various standards, including the more niche ISO/IEC 14443. ISO 14443 is a standard designed for proximity or contactless smart card communication. It typically uses a 13.56MHz radio frequency that only transmits digital data within a short range - about 4 centimeters or less - beyond, the signal is too weak. It can never exceed 10 centimeters."
Pretty much everyone unboxing different Samsung products at the same time had me smiling from ear to ear. It looked like Christmas in there. Please keep doing that, even with different products. 😁
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.
1:29:16 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.
26:47 yup that’s how it works. You scan the QR code of receiver and pay (also you can pay by entering phone no or upiID, but QR is code scanning is much more easy)
And I think the positive part is that people can use any app they want, since all of them have the same Unified Payment Interface. There is no walled garden here.
@@EkanshSomani-cp1bs So basically a more widespread form of Interac E-transfer. Interac is the Canadian interbank network, and E-transfer is universal here (other services like Venmo don't exist). It's mostly used for person-to-person transfers or for paying your rent, but not used for retail transactions like UPI is.
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.

Hey! So to answer Elis' question on NFC, I have an interesting usecase! I'm a type one diabetic and I use a device called a 'Freestyle Libre'. You can check your glucose level by using NFC on your phone to scan it, and all the data is recorded into the app. I literally couldn't live without a phone with NFC! :D
@@_Makanko_ each scan transfers the last 24 hours of data (for every 60 seconds). So this is far superior to tracking 8 / 9 different blood tests on a graph

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.

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.
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.
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 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...
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 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.
Issue with the watch is it’s fine for Apple to only work on Apple because Apple had way way way more sales then Samsung phones. Now android based phones compared to Apple is a different story but they didn’t make it work on all android phones well they made it work on just a tiny fraction of android phones well. This is a huge flaw. And again this isn’t a issue for Apple as Apple may be one brand but as a brand and OS their market share is insanely larger than just Samsung
No. Apple is worth more. Samsung sells more total phones most years. They offer so many $150-200 phones and in places like Africa where so many people are very poor they sell a lot. For comparison Apple sold 232 million phones in 2022. Samsung sold 259 million phones. 27 million phones is a lot. So Samsung has more users. The problem is that most of those phones Samsung sold cost less the watch so very few of their users will buy one. It’s the same way with most Android devices. That’s why the Apple Watch dominates. Most Android users own very cheap phones
@@toptiertech7291 wrong Apple sold 237 million phones in 2023 and Samsung sold 226 million. And half of Samsungs phones are so bad they can’t do half of what the flagship phones do and what all Apple phones can do. And Samsung doesn’t make computers with their own os nor do they make a phone or watch with their own os so they can’t make the syncing nearly as good as Apple
@@ljviks22 are you having trouble reading? I said 2022 for my figures. I also said MOST years. Apple passed them for the first time in like a decade last year. And yes. I acknowledged that most of the Samsung phones are budget phones 🤣🤣
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
David saying the razr is cooler than the flip is wild... razr genuinely feels and looks like a toy vs zflip. In a fisher price breaks on the first drop typa way... not a teenage engineering typa way 💀😂
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
Recently had a meeting with Spotify reps (audio drama podcast producer here) before the comment function was implemented and we discussed how the Q&A section just acted as a comment section since nobody really just answer the question of the day. So the pivot to comment section makes sense.
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!
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.

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?

Also Andrew: "Beautiful Girls?" very close, that was Sean Kingston 🤣
33:19 “Allegedly!” needs to be added to the soundboard 😂
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.
Robomarques telling me *”Give me your thoughts.”* would be terrifying
"Is Euphoria still happening?"
"Jesus Christ..." Lmao
🇩🇪 Y’all’s German is *flawless* 👌
Marquees had more Akon songs in the bag😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
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.
55 mins in Andrew wrestles with his collar bone - I love you, Andrew!
I spilled my drink all over me when David shouted "Crimes!" I'm dead 😂
IT'S FRIDAY MY DUDES
if you test the oura ring, make sure to note that it's pretty useless without the subscription

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 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: *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
This is my Friday morning routine now!
The "feel" blind test for phones is a really good idea.
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.
Issue with the watch is it’s fine for Apple to only work on Apple because Apple had way way way more sales then Samsung phones. Now android based phones compared to Apple is a different story but they didn’t make it work on all android phones well they made it work on just a tiny fraction of android phones well. This is a huge flaw.
And again this isn’t a issue for Apple as Apple may be one brand but as a brand and OS their market share is insanely larger than just Samsung
No. Apple is worth more. Samsung sells more total phones most years. They offer so many $150-200 phones and in places like Africa where so many people are very poor they sell a lot. For comparison Apple sold 232 million phones in 2022. Samsung sold 259 million phones. 27 million phones is a lot. So Samsung has more users. The problem is that most of those phones Samsung sold cost less the watch so very few of their users will buy one. It’s the same way with most Android devices. That’s why the Apple Watch dominates. Most Android users own very cheap phones
@@toptiertech7291 wrong Apple sold 237 million phones in 2023 and Samsung sold 226 million. And half of Samsungs phones are so bad they can’t do half of what the flagship phones do and what all Apple phones can do.
And Samsung doesn’t make computers with their own os nor do they make a phone or watch with their own os so they can’t make the syncing nearly as good as Apple
@@ljviks22 are you having trouble reading? I said 2022 for my figures. I also said MOST years. Apple passed them for the first time in like a decade last year. And yes. I acknowledged that most of the Samsung phones are budget phones 🤣🤣
RUclips just needs a dedicated Podcast page or app similar to RUclips Music, that's what we want.
41:30 insane camp rock reference 😂
Has anyone ever commented that Ellis looks like a young Steve Jobs? The facial structure resemblance from about 1984 is amazing.
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
I need you all to make a Lord of The Rings reference when shooting the Galaxy Ring review!
David saying the razr is cooler than the flip is wild... razr genuinely feels and looks like a toy vs zflip. In a fisher price breaks on the first drop typa way... not a teenage engineering typa way 💀😂
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.
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 collective unboxing!
I'd vote to hear about the ring and the buds3 pro first:)
Any other Lawrence fans here that love seeing Andrew pop up in his band t shirt all the time?!?!?
Listening to the pod then had to transition to vid for the unboxings lol
You know it’s going to be a good Friday when WaveForm uploads, which is why Fridays are always amazing days.
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!
Congrats on the engagement!
The thing with the Infinity Display was that they got rid of the Buttons on the front of the device
I'm glad how Andrew is getting fully in samsumg equal system without knowing 😅
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
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.
They should make a silicone "cover* to go over/around the Ring to help protect the outside from scratches
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.
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
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.
Recently had a meeting with Spotify reps (audio drama podcast producer here) before the comment function was implemented and we discussed how the Q&A section just acted as a comment section since nobody really just answer the question of the day. So the pivot to comment section makes sense.
01:04:57 he puts the Samsung ring on his wedding finger to signify he's married to that tech life👀
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!
I swear this has to be like top 5 Waveform episodes, it was so funny
Happy Friday! 🇺🇸💻
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.
