1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,560 Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to the host of Rich 2 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich Demiro. 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 2: Rich. 4 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: We got so much to talk about today. Let's start 5 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: with Samsung. It's releasing new products today. 6 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 2: Yes, I'm here in San Francisco for what they call Unpacked, 7 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 2: and this is where the company is going to unveil 8 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 2: its new Galaxy S twenty six lineup. That's typically three phones, 9 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 2: including the top of the line Ultra. And the biggest 10 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: feature that they've been promoting so far is this privacy screen, 11 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 2: which basically somehow shields your information from prying eye. So 12 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 2: it's going to be very interesting to see how that's received, 13 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 2: how that works. So that's the big thing we're looking at. Otherwise, 14 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 2: obviously they're pushing AI. Obviously the cameras should be better. 15 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 2: We'll see what happens with some of the other features 16 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 2: on the phone, but we're here in San Francisco for that. 17 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 2: That'll happen at ten am this morning. 18 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: Okay, And as far as better cameras, Samsung already has 19 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: like just superior cameras. How much better can they get 20 00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: this point. 21 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: Well, that's a good question. I think the big trend 22 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: we're seeing here is a lot of the hardware is 23 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 2: sort of staying the same with these makers, but they 24 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 2: just keep upping the ante with software features and AI. 25 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: And we know that Apple is kind of lagging in 26 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 2: that area. But I will say I use an iPhone 27 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 2: and an Android, and you know, photos are good across 28 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 2: the board. I think video is still slightly better on iPhone, 29 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: So we'll see if Samsung can improve that this year. 30 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: Okay. So one of the things that are I've seen 31 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: more and more people have are those smart glasses. They 32 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: look like ray bands, but they got all kinds of 33 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: stuff in them, and there's you know, I mean like 34 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: somebody could be spying on you wearing them and you 35 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: don't even know. They could be filming you and you 36 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't even know. 37 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 2: Yes, And I wear them, I mean so, and mine 38 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: are black on black, so you really can't tell that 39 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 2: they are cameras in there. And I often think about 40 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: this if I walk into a restaroom, like, wait a second, 41 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 2: I've got cameras on my face right now, hold on. 42 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 2: I mean yeah, Zuckerberg walked into court in LA with 43 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: them and the duds said, hey, what are you doing there? No, 44 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: so I mean, look, this is the thing. I think 45 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 2: that people are pretty aware of these glasses and the 46 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 2: fact that they're everywhere. But this developer created an app 47 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: called Nearby Glasses that will alert you if someone nearby 48 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 2: is wearing the meta ray bands and so basically the 49 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 2: app scans for Bluetooth signals that these things broadcast and 50 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 2: basically send you a notification if it finds them. So look, 51 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, I think this is 52 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 2: interesting to like covert recordings. If you're in a public place, 53 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: you pretty much see these things everywhere, but it's kind 54 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: of interesting if you're you know, in a private room 55 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: or sitting somewhere in a bar or whatever, and you 56 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: get this notification, you're like, Okay, just be aware someone 57 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 2: around me has these glasses on. It's not foolproof, but 58 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: it's there. 59 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: And I think it's very interesting that you're, like, people 60 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: are aware that people are wearing these and I think 61 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: you and others who are much more technologically not eligible 62 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: than me probably do realize that. It's never even crossed 63 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: my mind, So I think I need this app what 64 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: the people might be wearing medaglasses. I like, I've never 65 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: even thought about it, So now I'm. 66 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: Going to be funny. I look at every single person's glasses, 67 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 2: especially if they're chunky. You know, I'm like, okay, let 68 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: me see. Okay, do they have a camera? Okay, I'm 69 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: just you know, I don't. I have not come across 70 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 2: someone doing something nefarious with them. But of course there's 71 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 2: millions of people in this world. Lots of people are 72 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 2: and it could be used for that. This app is 73 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 2: only for Android, by the way, It just FYI okay. 74 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: And then I love this idea because who doesn't love 75 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: a beautiful sunset? But how do you know if it's 76 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: going to be a beautiful sunset or how do you 77 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: know if there's going to be a rainbow? Well, now 78 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: there's an app for that. 79 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: There is, and this app is called acme Weather, very 80 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: generic name, which I think is a kind of fun. 81 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 2: And this is the creators of an app called dark Sky, 82 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: which people loved. Apple bought that app and built it 83 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 2: into their weather app. So it's been years and now 84 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: these people that created that said, you know what, let's 85 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: try weather one more time. So they've got a couple 86 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 2: of new ideas in here. Number one community forecast, so 87 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 2: you can say, what's happening near you, and alerts are 88 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: a big part of this app, so you can get 89 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 2: alerts for lightning, severe weather, rain and fun alerts like 90 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 2: you mentioned when it's going to be a rainbow in 91 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 2: your area, or let's see what's the other one. It's 92 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: the rainbows and oh a great sunset as well. So 93 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 2: the downside of this app is that it's a two 94 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 2: week free trial and then it's twenty five dollars per year, 95 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 2: so you're not getting this one for free. And they 96 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 2: also give you weather predictions, which is like a instead 97 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: of just showing you one trend of like what the 98 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: weather's going to be, they show you a variation on 99 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 2: the top and the bottom of what the temperature and 100 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 2: rain and all that stuff. So it's just a really 101 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 2: different way of approaching weather, and. 102 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: Because you can crowdsource it a little bit, sort of 103 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: like the Ways for Weather. 104 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly right, Okay, I meant to say that, thank. 105 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: You, Okay. And then you've got some cool gadgets that 106 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: you've been talking about on KTLA and we have almost 107 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: no time, but don't want to hit on a couple 108 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: of them. One is a wallet sized tracker. 109 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 2: What's that? Yes, I've got this in my wallet. It's 110 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 2: the Key Smart smart Card, and I love it because 111 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 2: it's a credit card sized tracker, kind of like an 112 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: air tag, but you can slide it into your wallet 113 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 2: or you can put it in your passport holder and 114 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 2: it's rechargeable, so I love that. It is just fantastic 115 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 2: if you want something to track that's not as big 116 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 2: as an air tag. So that's the Key Smart smart Card. 117 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 2: I also have a Wi Fi hotspot. It's called the 118 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 2: Cemo Solace Edge five G.

I also have a power bank, 123 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 2: which I love, and a snap on wallet and stand 124 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 2: I'll put it all on the website and we'll run 125 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 2: out of time.
