1
00:00:00,439 --> 00:00:08,200
phones phones phones oh my God phones

2
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:11,880
Samsung unveiled some new ones at their unpacked this morning you'd be forgiven

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:17,560
for missing them though given how much the presentation focused on AI features

4
00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:19,640
like ask about this video on YouTube

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:22,880
which you you wouldn't use for TechLink videos because they'd miss that whole

6
00:00:21,119 --> 00:00:30,039
phone's bit at the start you can't Samsung's new flagship lineup is the

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:34,079
$800 Galaxy s25 $1,000 s25 plus and

8
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:36,160
$1300 s25 Ultra in brand new colors

9
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:41,399
including a few shades of blue that Samsung says are inspired by the

10
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:47,840
Brilliance of AI which everyone knows is blue all three phones sport 12 GB of RAM

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:51,239
and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite S so's under the hood which have apparently

12
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:59,320
been customized to make their battery life so good Samsung instructed viewers

13
00:00:54,120 --> 00:01:01,239
to watch videos up to 31 hours do it

14
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:07,159
unfortunately although the ultra gets upgraded cameras its included S Pen has

15
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:11,200
been downgraded and no longer includes any Bluetooth functionality which

16
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:15,799
allowed owners of previous Galaxy Ultra phones to use it as a remote camera

17
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:20,840
shutter and many other so-called air actions Samsung told Android police that

18
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:25,560
not many people were using the Bluetooth functionality and people also just use

19
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:30,520
Galaxy ring and Galaxy watch for handsfree photo capture and I have to

20
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:34,880
admit making your customers Buy another product to keep using a feature they

21
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:38,840
like is much simpler than Samsung just leaving the Spen alone but tell you what

22
00:01:37,479 --> 00:01:46,479
Samsung's going to make it up to you with their new health feature that somehow measures your antioxidant index

23
00:01:43,759 --> 00:01:51,000
although I think a microplastics index would be more useful at this point what

24
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:56,920
still not happy have you seen the Crocs inspired case yet nothing okay well the

25
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,799
one thing that is for sure a cool announcement is the new kids features

26
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:06,960
for the Galaxy watch 7 LTE turning it into a standalone kids watch so parents

27
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:12,599
can call message and track their little babies you know making sure they're not

28
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,319
pre-ordering things if you must though

29
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:19,120
it seems like Samsung's own website is the place to do it or maybe wait a bit

30
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:23,400
because Samsung also teased the Galaxy s25 Edge which will soon arrive to

31
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:30,040
challenge this year's other phones that will be super thin for a good reason

32
00:02:27,879 --> 00:02:35,040
Google was kind of Samsung's co-presenter today as another detail

33
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:39,519
about the Galaxy s25 series is that Google's Gemini will be the default

34
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:44,200
assistant now even though at any given moment I would much rather prefer to

35
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:49,800
speak with Bixby well if that's true for you good news Samsung told Android

36
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,680
authority that gemini or Bixby could be

37
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,560
activated depending on the situation which I think is cool because I like the

38
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:59,840
idea that whichever assistant pops up in my phone is the one that just beat the

39
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:04,519
other in a wrestling match down there so somewhere Galaxy 25 and pixel 9 users

40
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:10,560
will also gain the ability to share images files and YouTube videos to the

41
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:12,760
real time voice mode Gemini live which

42
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:20,799
will apparently be crucial for finding out if you just took a good photo I

43
00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:23,000
think my dog looks cute but AI help H is

44
00:03:20,799 --> 00:03:26,599
this a good photo just look at it but Gemini is also getting a pretty big

45
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:32,480
upgrade with the ability to complete multi-app tasks like find activity that

46
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:37,920
conform to certain criteria and text them to my friend which friend surprised

47
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,840
me some performance data for NVIDIA's RTX 590 has leaked courtesy of video

48
00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:49,959
cards with a z showing that in various 3D Mark tests the upcoming Flagship

49
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:53,680
achieves a roughly 30% lead over the RTX

50
00:03:49,959 --> 00:03:57,200
4090 and more like a 40ish per versus

51
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,599
the radon RX 7900 XTX and I'm telling

52
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:03,680
you this because it felt kind of weird to leave it out today but it sounds like

53
00:04:01,239 --> 00:04:06,959
proper reviews of the 5090 will be starting to go live at 6:00 a.m.

54
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:11,120
tomorrow morning so you might as well ignore what I just said and cross your

55
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:15,959
fingers that NVIDIA isn't lying when they promise anyone looking to buy the

56
00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:17,560
new RTX 590 that it won't melt power

57
00:04:15,959 --> 00:04:21,040
plugs this time although watching all that go down was fun to watch for the

58
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:25,440
rest of us yeah you know what we're going to go for those mid-range cars

59
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:31,479
from AMD which should be dropping any day now and by that I mean 2 months from

60
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:35,160
now yeah AMD Z David McAfee announced on

61
00:04:31,479 --> 00:04:37,720
Twitter that the RX 970 and 970x XT will

62
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:43,000
go on sale in March even though retailers already have the Cards in

63
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:45,199
stores hm waiting until all the RTX 50

64
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,520
Series cards get scalped is a bold strategy let's see if it pays off for

65
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:52,440

77
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:46,400
right for quick bits open AI has announced the Stargate project a new

78
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:51,960
company that will build 500 billion dollar worth of AI infrastructure in the

79
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,440
US it was also announced at a White

80
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:57,840
House Press Conference with President Trump even though the government isn't

81
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:03,400
funding it the money's coming from a number of other firms including mgx

82
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:07,120
Oracle open AI of course and SoftBank although Elon Musk has his doubts

83
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:12,680
replying to open ai's announcement tweet to interject they don't actually have

84
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:15,680
the money and also open AI is not really

85
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,639
open has anyone noticed that oh you're

86
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:21,199
going to take that Sam Alman hit him back I genuinely respect your

87
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:26,120
accomplishments and think you are the most inspiring entrepreneur of our time

88
00:06:23,599 --> 00:06:31,800
oh oh man you you got him good speaking of Elon

89
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:37,800
hundreds of subreddits are discussing whether to ban all links to Twitter SLX

90
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:44,039
and some dozens have already done so over musk performing what really looked

91
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:47,000
like a Nazi salute two times at Trump's

92
00:06:44,039 --> 00:06:52,800
inauguration was it a Nazi salute I don't know but the Nazis liked it unlike

93
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:57,080
the last major Reddit wide protest of the site's updated API rules back in

94
00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:00,879
September Reddit the company is apparently going to let things be

95
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:06,280
telling our that banning links to certain sites is up to the subreddits

96
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:10,879
and I didn't write a last sentence for that one YouTube has announced new

97
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:16,759
features for premium subscribers including highquality 256 kilobits per

98
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:21,039
second audio on music videos and faster playback speeds on mobile we're talking

99
00:07:18,759 --> 00:07:25,319
up to four times but at that point you might as well ask the AI what's going on

100
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:29,000
there's also a new YouTube Premium Plus Google one subscription bundle that lets

101
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:33,800
you save a bit of money but it's in the US only so what do I care Apple has

102
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:40,120
enabled Apple intelligence by default in the newest builds of macOS 15.3 and iOS

103
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:43,199
18.3 which is just meant to be helpful I mean users must not know about the new

104
00:07:42,039 --> 00:07:47,039
features and that's why they're not using them and anyways Apple paused

105
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,759
those AI notification summaries that were telling people that shark NATO was

106
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:55,199
real so this is fine and have you been practicing piano but you're just not

107
00:07:52,680 --> 00:08:00,080
getting any better let a robot spider massage your fies this is a robot

108
00:07:57,919 --> 00:08:04,800
exoskeleton developed by Japanese researchers as a way to help those with

109
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:09,840
fine-tuned motor skills like musicians who have experienced a sealing effect

110
00:08:07,479 --> 00:08:14,840
they're just so good they can't get any better until they allow an electronic

111
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:18,080
face hugger to yank their fingers around I feel better already and you'll feel

112
00:08:16,479 --> 00:08:25,199
better if you come back on Friday for more Tech news

113
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:25,199
or or at least I will
