00:00:00.439 --> 00:00:08.200
phones phones phones oh my God phones

00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:11.880
Samsung unveiled some new ones at their unpacked this morning you'd be forgiven

00:00:10.280 --> 00:00:17.560
for missing them though given how much the presentation focused on AI features

00:00:14.559 --> 00:00:19.640
like ask about this video on YouTube

00:00:17.560 --> 00:00:22.880
which you you wouldn't use for TechLink videos because they'd miss that whole

00:00:21.119 --> 00:00:30.039
phone's bit at the start you can't Samsung's new flagship lineup is the

00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:34.079
$800 Galaxy s25 $1,000 s25 plus and

00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:36.160
$1300 s25 Ultra in brand new colors

00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:41.399
including a few shades of blue that Samsung says are inspired by the

00:00:38.559 --> 00:00:47.840
Brilliance of AI which everyone knows is blue all three phones sport 12 GB of RAM

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:51.239
and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite S so's under the hood which have apparently

00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:59.320
been customized to make their battery life so good Samsung instructed viewers

00:00:54.120 --> 00:01:01.239
to watch videos up to 31 hours do it

00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:07.159
unfortunately although the ultra gets upgraded cameras its included S Pen has

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:11.200
been downgraded and no longer includes any Bluetooth functionality which

00:01:09.080 --> 00:01:15.799
allowed owners of previous Galaxy Ultra phones to use it as a remote camera

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:20.840
shutter and many other so-called air actions Samsung told Android police that

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:25.560
not many people were using the Bluetooth functionality and people also just use

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:30.520
Galaxy ring and Galaxy watch for handsfree photo capture and I have to

00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:34.880
admit making your customers Buy another product to keep using a feature they

00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:38.840
like is much simpler than Samsung just leaving the Spen alone but tell you what

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

00:01:43.759 --> 00:01:51.000
although I think a microplastics index would be more useful at this point what

00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:56.920
still not happy have you seen the Crocs inspired case yet nothing okay well the

00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:01.799
one thing that is for sure a cool announcement is the new kids features

00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:06.960
for the Galaxy watch 7 LTE turning it into a standalone kids watch so parents

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:12.599
can call message and track their little babies you know making sure they're not

00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:14.319
pre-ordering things if you must though

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

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:23.400
because Samsung also teased the Galaxy s25 Edge which will soon arrive to

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:30.040
challenge this year's other phones that will be super thin for a good reason

00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:35.040
Google was kind of Samsung's co-presenter today as another detail

00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:39.519
about the Galaxy s25 series is that Google's Gemini will be the default

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:44.200
assistant now even though at any given moment I would much rather prefer to

00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:49.800
speak with Bixby well if that's true for you good news Samsung told Android

00:02:46.720 --> 00:02:51.680
authority that gemini or Bixby could be

00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:55.560
activated depending on the situation which I think is cool because I like the

00:02:53.640 --> 00:02:59.840
idea that whichever assistant pops up in my phone is the one that just beat the

00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:04.519
other in a wrestling match down there so somewhere Galaxy 25 and pixel 9 users

00:03:02.760 --> 00:03:10.560
will also gain the ability to share images files and YouTube videos to the

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:12.760
real time voice mode Gemini live which

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:20.799
will apparently be crucial for finding out if you just took a good photo I

00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:23.000
think my dog looks cute but AI help H is

00:03:20.799 --> 00:03:26.599
this a good photo just look at it but Gemini is also getting a pretty big

00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:32.480
upgrade with the ability to complete multi-app tasks like find activity that

00:03:30.239 --> 00:03:37.920
conform to certain criteria and text them to my friend which friend surprised

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:43.840
me some performance data for NVIDIA's RTX 590 has leaked courtesy of video

00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:49.959
cards with a z showing that in various 3D Mark tests the upcoming Flagship

00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:53.680
achieves a roughly 30% lead over the RTX

00:03:49.959 --> 00:03:57.200
4090 and more like a 40ish per versus

00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:58.599
the radon RX 7900 XTX and I'm telling

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

00:04:01.239 --> 00:04:06.959
proper reviews of the 5090 will be starting to go live at 6:00 a.m.

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:11.120
tomorrow morning so you might as well ignore what I just said and cross your

00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:15.959
fingers that NVIDIA isn't lying when they promise anyone looking to buy the

00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:17.560
new RTX 590 that it won't melt power

00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:21.040
plugs this time although watching all that go down was fun to watch for the

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

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

00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:35.160
now yeah AMD Z David McAfee announced on

00:04:31.479 --> 00:04:37.720
Twitter that the RX 970 and 970x XT will

00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:43.000
go on sale in March even though retailers already have the Cards in

00:04:39.919 --> 00:04:45.199
stores hm waiting until all the RTX 50

00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:48.520

te01 yeah yeah I think now the vibe's

00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:46.400
right for quick bits open AI has announced the Stargate project a new

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:51.960
company that will build 500 billion dollar worth of AI infrastructure in the

00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:53.440
US it was also announced at a White

00:05:51.960 --> 00:05:57.840
House Press Conference with President Trump even though the government isn't

00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:03.400
funding it the money's coming from a number of other firms including mgx

00:06:00.440 --> 00:06:07.120
Oracle open AI of course and SoftBank although Elon Musk has his doubts

00:06:05.280 --> 00:06:12.680
replying to open ai's announcement tweet to interject they don't actually have

00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:15.680
the money and also open AI is not really

00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:17.639
open has anyone noticed that oh you're

00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:21.199
going to take that Sam Alman hit him back I genuinely respect your

00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:26.120
accomplishments and think you are the most inspiring entrepreneur of our time

00:06:23.599 --> 00:06:31.800
oh oh man you you got him good speaking of Elon

00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:37.800
hundreds of subreddits are discussing whether to ban all links to Twitter SLX

00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:44.039
and some dozens have already done so over musk performing what really looked

00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:47.000
like a Nazi salute two times at Trump's

00:06:44.039 --> 00:06:52.800
inauguration was it a Nazi salute I don't know but the Nazis liked it unlike

00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:57.080
the last major Reddit wide protest of the site's updated API rules back in

00:06:55.080 --> 00:07:00.879
September Reddit the company is apparently going to let things be

00:06:58.840 --> 00:07:06.280
telling our that banning links to certain sites is up to the subreddits

00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:10.879
and I didn't write a last sentence for that one YouTube has announced new

00:07:08.840 --> 00:07:16.759
features for premium subscribers including highquality 256 kilobits per

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:21.039
second audio on music videos and faster playback speeds on mobile we're talking

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

00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:29.000
there's also a new YouTube Premium Plus Google one subscription bundle that lets

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

00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:40.120
enabled Apple intelligence by default in the newest builds of macOS 15.3 and iOS

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

00:07:42.039 --> 00:07:47.039
features and that's why they're not using them and anyways Apple paused

00:07:45.280 --> 00:07:50.759
those AI notification summaries that were telling people that shark NATO was

00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:55.199
real so this is fine and have you been practicing piano but you're just not

00:07:52.680 --> 00:08:00.080
getting any better let a robot spider massage your fies this is a robot

00:07:57.919 --> 00:08:04.800
exoskeleton developed by Japanese researchers as a way to help those with

00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:09.840
fine-tuned motor skills like musicians who have experienced a sealing effect

00:08:07.479 --> 00:08:14.840
they're just so good they can't get any better until they allow an electronic

00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:18.080
face hugger to yank their fingers around I feel better already and you'll feel

00:08:16.479 --> 00:08:25.199
better if you come back on Friday for more Tech news

00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:25.199
or or at least I will
