WEBVTT - Amazingly useful Google search tips and tricks 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:15.600 Hands on with Samsung's latest foldable phones TCL strays from 0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:20.720 Roku but not too far. My favorite Google search term revealed, 0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:23.720 Plus your tech questions answered? 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:24.520 What is going on? 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:28.600 Imridge Demiro and this is Rich on Tech, the podcast 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:30.680 where I talk about the tech stuff I think you 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:31.640 should know about. 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:35.040 It's also the place where I answer the questions you 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:35.599 send me. 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:41.559 I'm the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five in Los Angeles, Hollywood, California, 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:43.919 to be specific, and. 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:45.560 Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome. 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.360 So last week I talked about on the show how 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:53.840 the downloads basically doubled and I wasn't really sure why, 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:58.600 but it's happened and it's a thing, So thank you 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:00.920 to the new listeners. I don't know what what made 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:04.800 the change. I suspect it has to do with Facebook 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:07.880 showing the podcast to more people, but I'm not really sure, 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.800 but I'll take it. I mean it's you know, I 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.760 thought it was a fluke for one show, but two 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.759 shows were winning, so good deal. 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:22.040 I love that. Thank you for listening. Also got some comments. 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.679 About the way I do the show, so you know, 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.840 I read the questions and then give the answers, and 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:28.920 I of course think. 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:30.480 That's a little a little hokey. 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.880 I would rather either have someone reading the questions or 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:39.360 perhaps you know, ideally have live callers, but you know, 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.720 the way that this podcast is produced, that's just not 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.880 possible right now. And so, but I did hear from 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.960 I've heard this couple of times actually that some of 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:52.360 you like the way the questions are done because I 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.680 read them, so that means that they're done in a 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.280 faster way than like someone who's calling, because usually when 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.160 people call, there's a little back and forth. You know, 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.480 you're chit chatting where you're from, how you're doing. And 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.680 I personally like that. I like to get to learn, 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.280 you know, a little bit more about the people that 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:08.960 I'm talking to. 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:10.120 But I get it. 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.040 If you're just trying to, like, you know, extract information 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.880 from my brain to yours, like I get it, this 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.200 is a good format for that because it's basically just 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:23.639 an hour of me, you know, listening to these questions 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.000 and answering them and just kind of getting them done 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.000 in a fast way. So I will continue to do 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.600 the show this way. Who knows, maybe it will evolve 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.720 at some point, but right now we'll keep it the same. 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.799 What else what else is going on in my life 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.799 before we start the show. My mom is in town. 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.200 So if you follow me on Instagram at rich on Tech, 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.480 you know, last week I told you about how I 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.000 had deleted my social media for a while. I'm back 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.760 on and I'll tell you it's not the same. It's 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.560 like I feel like, you know, every time I'm on 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.480 it now, I'm like, oh am I wasting my time? 0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:58.720 But I really do enjoy it. 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.919 I enjoy kind of especially my Facebook page. I mean 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.040 it reaches a lot of people, and it's kind of 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.520 fun because you can see when something is popular and 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:11.640 something resonates with people, like almost instantly. So if I 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.680 put a post out there, especially video posts, you know, 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:18.440 if it's not getting shares and views within you know, 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:22.680 five minutes, it's basically a non starter. Like I've rarely 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:27.280 seen things that go viral after a couple of days. 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.079 I mean, yes, sometimes it takes a couple of days 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:32.120 to percolate, but there's always that initial interest that kind 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:37.040 of drives it. And I've noticed with with various posts 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.760 on Facebook, if they don't really get that pick up immediately, 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:41.880 then they're not really they kind of I call them 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:43.800 a stall you know, they just kind of like, yeah, 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:44.520 they're just there. 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:46.200 What else this week? 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:50.480 Twitter change the font and the look and the feel, 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.680 and so I'll talk more about that later in the show. 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.320 But and we got some Samsung stuff that's happening. All 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:01.960 the new foldables actually have the the Z. Hold on, 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.400 let me get the full name, the Samsung Galaxy Z 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.400 Flip three five G. I mean, who doesn't have that 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:10.840 on their Christmas list? 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:13.000 I've got this in my hand. 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.560 And they sent the Flip five G and the Fold 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.400 five G, and out of the two, the Flip five 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:24.719 G is definitely the more the device that I would 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.760 rather I would see myself getting right, I'm not sure 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.960 if either of these devices are for me, but I 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:35.800 do like the idea of this, this Z flip, So 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.440 I'll talk more about that. Actually, let's just get into it. 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.919 Let's get into the first story of the week. Samsung 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.479 had their unpacked event. This was a virtual event like 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.080 they've been doing like it seems like things are gonna 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:52.400 be done for a while now, or I guess for 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:56.119 the foreseeable future. But they had their So it's funny 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:57.960 because I was reading on Twitter, someone said, hey, do 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:01.000 you remember the last in person event was Samsung Galaxy 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:06.080 Unpacked in San Francisco in twenty twenty. And I'm trying 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.239 to remember because I went to two events that month, 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:12.200 and one was the Toy Fair and one was the 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.640 Samsung event, and they were right after each other. They 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.159 were both in February of twenty twenty, and this was 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.480 right before sort of things got locked down, and I 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.800 remember thinking for the Toy Fair, like, oh, should I go. 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.240 It's New York City, you know, who knows what's going on. 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.640 They were sort of the epicenter at the time, along 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.479 with Seattle, and I said, you know what, I'm just 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.479 going to go, and I went and it was fine. 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.599 But then the Samsung thing, I can't remember if it 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.240 was before or after, but it was the same thing. 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:42.000 It was like, we know, there's this thing out there, 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.160 but you know, just be careful and you know whatever. 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.360 And at this point we were still all touching phones 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.400 and you know, in this big auditorium together. But that 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.559 was the last one of those two were the last 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.880 in person event that I went to, and both of 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.320 those shows, I mean, the Samsung event and that was 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.320 for the launch of the twenty But anyway, everything's been 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.760 virtual since then. So let's talk about the devices that 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.840 Samsung unveiled, the Galaxy Z fold three and the Z 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:09.680 Flip three. 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.000 The fold three is. 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:15.520 Basically remember the phone that had the problem with the 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.040 hinge where it was like messing up. There was getting 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.360 you know, dust and debris behind it, it was breaking the screen. 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:25.039 People were peeling off the screen protectors. So this was 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:29.520 Samsung's first foldable device. It's got that big screen inside, 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:32.000 like a seven point six inch screen, and then it's 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.080 got the exterior screen, which is a lot bigger these 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.480 days than it was when it first launched. Also, the 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:41.080 device overall is just thinner. It's you know a little 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.920 more sleek. It's a little bit more lightweight, but it's 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.440 still a very heavy gadget, and it's still a very 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.520 big gadget. So you know, I love just showing this 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.560 stuff to like my family when I get home, Like, 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:53.760 like I said, my mom's in town, and my wife 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.200 and my kids, and you know, I just let them 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.680 kind of touch this stuff and see what the reaction is. 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.000 And you know they're all like, ooh, that that's big phone. 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.440 That's a heavy phone. But then with this little Z 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.800 Flip three, which looks like a standard Samsung Galaxy that 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:11.240 literally just folds in half. That's the more interesting device 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.720 because people they like the form factor because it reminds 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:20.360 them of the days of the Motorola Razor. Ironically, Motorola 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.480 came out with the foldable Razor a couple like two 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.840 or three years ago, and I don't know how many 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.920 years ago. It was definitely back before coronavirus because it 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:30.640 was in person. I remember going to the event, the 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:34.640 launch event in Los Angeles, and so it's funny that 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:39.120 Sam Motorola themselves were not able to bring back the 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.520 razor flip even though it had a foldable device. But 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.560 Samsung kind of took that idea and ran with it, 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:50.200 and their Flip three is actually really really compelling, and 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.400 it's a phone that I think I'm not quite ready 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.200 to recommend just yet, but it's definitely one of those 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.640 devices that is like it's the future. 0:07:59.720 --> 0:07:59.920 You know. 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.120 It's like, foldable phones are a thing, and when people 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.120 see this thing, they're like, Okay, that's pretty cool. If 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:08.400 it's in my pocket, it's small, it's easy I find. 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.280 Well, let me just go through these a little bit more. Okay. 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.880 So the fold is that, you know, they improve the hinge. 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.080 The big news is that they made both of these 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.119 devices water resistant, which I think is a pretty big deal. 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:21.640 This is not an underwater camera. 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.600 You're not gonna take it, you know, in the ocean, 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.320 but if it gets wet, a little splash, whatever, it's 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:27.040 gonna be just fine. 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:27.960 It's ipx eight. 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.920 Samsung hid the selfie camera on the fold, which is 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:36.720 kind of hokey because you can definitely see it. It's 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.640 actually kind of weird. It's also only for megapixels, so 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:41.960 it's not a very good camera. I mean, this is 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.520 the thing about Samsung. They always take a couple of 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.920 steps forward, and then there's always something about their device 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.040 that's like a couple steps back. Like when you think 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:54.240 about the Samsung Galaxy S twenty Ultra. When that launched, 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.360 it had a hundred times zoom. Oh my gosh, that's amazing. 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.320 But the step back it took is that a zoom 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.120 wasn't even very good at a hundred times, so you 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:02.880 didn't even need it. 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.400 But the actual. 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:09.840 Regular camera had so much fringing around the images because 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:13.080 it had such a small depth of field, or a 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.200 shallow depth of field. I should say that it was 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:18.400 almost unusable, and it's still almost unusable to this day. 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.320 And I've noticed with Samsung devices they still have this 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.520 problem where they're just not as crisp around the edges 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:29.040 of things like text, especially as the other phones that 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:33.720 I test specifically, like the Pixel and the iPhone, and 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.920 so I guess it's just a deal with their lenses. 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.040 I'm not really sure, but I definitely even notice it 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:39.719 on these new devices, Like I took a couple of 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.360 pictures and like gosh one plus has the same problem. 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:42.800 It seems. 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.640 I think it's just these bigger lenses they're using that 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.240 just seem to you know, they take great pictures when 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.760 you're a you know, big picture, like a wide angle 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.480 or like a you know, just a scene, but when 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:56.200 you get really close up on something, you have to 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.840 be a certain distance away for that item. 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.440 To be in Let's see what else. 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.960 The Fold three now supports a stylist, which is really cool. 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:06.959 You can write on the screen. 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.280 Samsung did not send me a stylist to test, so 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.720 I can't really say how well that works, although I 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:13.760 can say that I know use my finger on it. 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:17.839 And it's interesting because Samsung had to take two digitizers 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.480 and place them next to each other because there's that 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.040 crease in the middle. And they made an algorithm that 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:27.600 lets the screens or the digitizers figure out when you're 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.800 over that little area that doesn't have any digitizer in it. 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.080 So they it and it works just fine. If you 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.160 run your finger across the whole length of the phone, 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:37.640 the line looks perfect. 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.440 So they did a good job with that. Let's see. 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.720 Okay, so the Fold three is two hundred dollars cheaper 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.920 than last year. It starts at eighteen hundred dollars, and 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.880 again this is for really early adopters. I see the 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.920 idea behind this, and I think that for some people 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.840 that literally only want to carry around a phone, they 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:56.959 don't want a tablet, and they don't want a computer, 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.280 eighteen hundred dollars is actually not a bad price for 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:01.720 all three of these things in one. 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.920 Personally, I have a tablet. I like to use it. 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.040 Maybe I would use this, I don't know, Maybe I 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:10.240 should try using this for a little bit. But you know, 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:12.480 I also really like my computer as well. So I 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.960 think you can go computer and fold, which means you 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.760 have the fold, you have a regular phone, and you 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:19.600 have a tablet. 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:20.600 And you have a computer. 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:26.080 But yeah, anyway, so especially if you're traveling, like on 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.040 the plane, like this would be really cool because you 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.000 can watch movies on it. You can get a lot 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.000 of work done on it. I just it's just a 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:34.280 little bulky for me, and maybe it's gonna take some 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.000 more kind of like using it to really get. 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:37.360 Used to that. 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:39.760 All right, let's talk about the z Flip three. So 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.160 this is the more pocketable of the two. Like I said, 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:46.600 it's reminiscent of the Razor. Let's see, Samsung made a 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.079 bigger screen on the outside. The last one was pretty 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:52.200 much unusable. This one is much more usable, and you 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.440 can do things like check your notifications. You can take 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:58.200 pictures with the with the cameras on the outside, and 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.400 it flips and it's you know, it's a little bit 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.200 of a The thing that I've realized in using this 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:05.960 the past day or so is that it's like just 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.760 a little a couple of extra steps with this phone 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.320 because you're flipping it open, and it takes a little 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.319 bit of like thinking and thought process to flip it open. 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.560 I don't really think it's very easy to open with 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:18.720 one hand like the razor. 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:19.640 Wise back in the day. 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:23.080 This is much much meteor of a device, so there's 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.400 like a lot going on. It's heavy, it's top heavy. 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.640 Well I wouldn't say it's heavy, but it's definitely top 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.480 heavy when you open it up, so you have to 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.680 be cognizant of that so you don't let it fall over. 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.200 The design is perfect, I mean, I think they did 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:38.000 a really nice job. I think that the goal of 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.560 this design would be that these phones would eventually fold 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.560 on top of each other in a flat way. Right now, 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.000 there's a little bit of a gap between them. And 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:47.679 if you notice, I haven't really talked much about the 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.960 cameras on these things because Samsung did not make a 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:52.720 big deal out of the cameras. The cameras are not 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:56.160 very they're just okay. They're not the best in class 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.320 cameras that Samsung has to offer, So they don't really 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.800 make a big deal out of the cameras because they're 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.800 just they're fine, I mean, and I'm impressed. 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:05.720 With the picture quality. It looks good. 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:07.480 I took a bunch of pictures on the little the 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.599 Little Flip yesterday and it looks nice. Or over the 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.880 past couple of days, summer it's hit or miss. You know, 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.640 some some are better than others. But I think the 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:18.280 iPhone overall, iPhone twelve is still a better, better device 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:23.120 for pictures, and probably the S twenty one Ultra. They 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:27.000 also announce new Galaxy smart watches that you know, there's 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:28.840 a whole bunch of stuff with these smart watches that 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:32.120 they have brighter displays than are designs, longer battery life, 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:36.400 They have a new sensor to measure body composition. Spotify 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:40.400 offline is coming to them. Samsung will track sleep better 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:45.360 than before, takes a measurement every minute, They track snoring, 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:48.600 they do body I said, they do body composition. They're 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:52.199 also gonna wear They're also gonna run Google's wear os, 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:53.520 which is interesting. 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:54.600 They're doing the same thing. 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.319 It's wear OUs by Samsung, so it's the same thing 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.679 they skin the Android for their phones and now they're 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:03.160 skin wear os for the watches. But overall, I think 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:07.800 that these where Galaxy smart watches finally seem to be 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.800 a worthy opponent to the iPhone. It just seems like 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.679 the Android side of things is really really picking up 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:17.680 with that. And finally, Galaxy Buds too, are their new earbuds. 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.880 These are one hundred and fifty dollars and they're smaller, 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:25.480 they're lighter. I love the design, they sound good, their 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.680 you know, price is pretty good for these things. And 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:30.920 the only problem I found is that they just did 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.520 not stain my ears no matter what. I took them 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.480 on a run, and they just it was one of 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:39.880 those things where when you're running and the you have 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.960 that sensation of the earbuds like almost falling out of 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.760 your ears the whole time. That's really annoying. And that's 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:47.440 exactly what they felt like. So I actually had to 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.160 go home and replace them with my AirPods, which the 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:52.440 air POD's kind of like, I feel like they magnetically 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.600 adhere to my ears, you know, like sometimes I'll get 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.920 that sensation of them falling out, but it takes a 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:00.680 really long time, whereas with these Galaxy buds too, I 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:03.120 just kept popping them back in, and because they're touch sensitive, 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:05.280 every time you press them to put them back in, 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:08.120 you're pausing your music. Yes you can turn that feature off, 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.040 but it's one of these things where it's just, you know, 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.720 I don't want my earbuds to be a big hassle. 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.920 I want them to be simple. I don't want to 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.360 really think about them very much. I want to concentrate 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.800 on what I'm doing and not keeping these things in 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:22.280 my ears. 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:23.680 So for those reasons. 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.200 I don't really like the buds too, but you know, 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.760 your results may vary. I think the challenge here is, 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:32.000 you know you have to buy these things without putting 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:33.600 them in your ears. I guess you can return them 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.440 if they don't work. But that's kind of a quick 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.040 roundup of the Samsung event exciting stuff. I think these 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:43.400 foldables are just continuing to progress. I'm not in a 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.400 place to recommend them just yet, but would I wouldn't 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.480 have a problem with people getting the Flip or the 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.040 fold I think they're both in a place where they're 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.480 very good phones. Just know that you are getting kind 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:58.320 of an early technology that's not all there yet. But yes, 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:07.040 there are some really cool aspects to this stuff. All right, 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:10.160 let's get to the first question. JV says, Hey, Rich, 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:12.720 We're looking to upgrade from a fifty five inch television 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:14.920 to a seventy five inch and was wondering what would 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.720 you make the best model would you recommend? We've seen 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:22.640 a lot of qleds, O LEDs, Mini LEDs uhds. We 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.840 put our first fifty five inch TV thirteen years ago. 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:30.480 A lot has changed. It has two forty refresh, which 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:33.280 we especially like when watching car races. It can connect 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.160 to Wi Fi. It was about twenty five hundred dollars. 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.320 We've seen a lot of eighty inch models coming out. 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.600 Your input is always appreciated. Thank you for your time. 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:44.640 JV. All right, JV. 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.720 So, I mean, look, the bottom line is it sounds 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:51.560 like you are someone who really likes a nice TV, 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:55.120 a big screen TV. You want a seventy five inch. 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:58.280 I mean there's a couple of sets I always recommend. 0:16:57.880 --> 0:16:59.800 So number one. 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:03.360 If you're thinking about all these different display technologies, I 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:06.160 mean you definitely want to get a four K obviously. 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:08.240 I mean that's like, you know, standard Now. When it 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.640 comes to q LED versus O l ED, I mean, 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:13.600 O LED is obviously going. 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:17.360 To be a better overall picture quality. 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:20.600 When it comes to the color, QLED is going to 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.119 be better than your standard LED, which you know at 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:26.399 this at this size, you're definitely gonna want that. Ql 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:30.600 ED is mostly a Samsung thing, but the Mini LED 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.880 is coming up in the world because it the way 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:37.840 Mini LED works is that the brightness comes from many 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:41.639 more places behind the TV, which means you can light 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.760 a scene better than before. So let's just say a 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:47.680 little tiny speck in the screen is a moon and 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:51.000 the rest is black. That moon would be really bright 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:52.760 and the rest of the screen could be really a 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:56.600 deep black because the mini LEDs are just lighting up 0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:00.160 the tiny portion behind the moon, whereas with a stand 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.639 under LED set, it's you know, lighting up basically the 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.720 whole set behind it or in different zones, and so 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:08.520 you know, the black might look a little bit more 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:10.840 washed out in the rest of the scene. So that's 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:15.000 a very simplified explanation as I understand it. So many 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.320 LEDs are definitely coming up in the world as something 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:21.199 that you probably want to get with your set. With 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:24.879 that said, I think that you know, if you want 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.520 the best TV, I think Sony is still going to 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:31.479 give you like the best quality overall. I think if 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:33.080 you want an O LEED, you got to go with 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.159 an LG. I think they're really the best. When it 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:39.399 comes to the oleads, I believe it's the c X 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:45.199 is it. Let's see here, yeah, cx O lead and 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:47.560 then let's see what else. And I don't even know 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:51.120 if they make the CX in a seventy five inch 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:53.159 though let's see, oh they do they make it in 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:57.959 seventy seven, and that's going to be three thousand bucks, 0:18:58.000 --> 0:18:58.720 So I don't know. 0:18:58.760 --> 0:18:59.920 That's a little bit that you. 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:01.920 Probably might be able to find that cheaper somewhere. 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:04.560 That's on LG's website. 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:08.040 The other TV I really like is the TCL six series, 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.520 and I think that those are a fantastic set. They 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:14.320 do make them in seventy five. The only thing I 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:19.560 don't know is the let's see here, I don't know. 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:21.480 Oh wow, they make it in an eight K, now, 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.760 so I mean, yeah, if you really want to get fancy, 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:24.680 you can go with the eight K. 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:27.320 Who I mean, what are you gonna watch on eight K? 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:31.800 I don't know. Uh, let's see do they have it 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.919 says variable refresh rate? It doesn't. 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:37.080
