00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:06.480
hey james you want a folding phone yeah i'll just take out a second mortgage

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:11.519
oh i had a whole nother joke planned for that but i guess we're going with that yep folding phones are officially a

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:15.360
thing samsung unveiled the galaxy fold last week but this weekend at mobile

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:19.039
world congress huawei showed off their own design which has

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:23.840
what i think is an objectively better

00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:28.160
design where samsung's model has a 4.6 inch exterior screen that opens up to

00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:32.880
reveal a 7.2 inch screen with a notch the huawei mate x has a single 8 inch

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:37.680
screen when unfolded when it's folded that same display is divided into a 6.6

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:41.440
inch screen on the front and 6.38 inch screen on the back because the camera

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:45.360
assembly takes up some space on the rear having the display fold on the outside

00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:49.680
saves huawei from having to include a gap like the galaxy fold does it also

00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:54.239
means the device is much more usable in folded mode than samsung's offering oppo

00:00:52.879 --> 00:00:58.320
also showed off a folding phone prototype that uses essentially the same

00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:02.160
design and i don't blame them although it doesn't really matter which one i like more because it doesn't look like

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:07.360
the mate x will be coming to north america anytime soon which is fine

00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:12.880
because as james alluded to it's expensive it's 2600

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:14.960
us dollars yeah i can't even conceive of

00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:19.119
that with my canadian brain and i don't want huawei spying on me

00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:22.320
anyway yeah yeah kind of crazy how fast things move though like i thought the

00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:26.479
fold when we saw the galaxy fold i thought that was the future i was like well folding folds are here and now it's

00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:31.680
like the full that's old tech old news boo

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:36.799
but huawei wasn't the only company innovating at mwc no microsoft showed

00:01:34.720 --> 00:01:41.759
off the hololens 2 which improves upon the original mixed reality headset and

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:45.759
basically every way it's got a more comfortable fit and higher resolution

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:50.079
displays but most importantly the field of view has been more than doubled the

00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:54.560
new model offers the same 47 pixels per degree of human vision but with a

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:59.280
diagonal field of view around 53 degrees per eye still not amazing more degrees

00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:03.759
though more more degrees more better it has vastly improved hand tracking as

00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:08.080
well so instead of pinching your fingers you can reach out and manipulate

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:11.520
holograms directly you can still pinch you can you like if you like the

00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:15.200
pinching you can still pinch you want to grab it

00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:20.560
and also has eye tracking and voice detection which can be used for things

00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:25.760
like navigating browser Windows and dictating text while your hands are

00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:30.080
otherwise occupied doing what james

00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:33.840
you sicko the hololens 2 is being targeted at businesses first and

00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:37.440
foremost and that's reflected in its price of 3

00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:41.680
dollars which is actually less than the first gen hallways price of five

00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:46.879
thousand but more than a folding phone why not both why not both

00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:53.680
and lg had their own peculiar answer to the folding phone trend adding a second

00:02:49.200 --> 00:02:55.760
screen the lg v50 thinq 5g why we'll be

00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:59.599
able to attach to the dual screen case and turn your phone into an Android

00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:04.159
nintendo ds essentially what are you talking about

00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:05.840
don't understand this

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:10.879
the second display can be used as a keyboard gamepad or simply used to run

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:15.680
two full screen apps at once gotta say i almost like this better than the idea of

00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:21.680
a folding phone high five lg oh whoops i just unlocked lg's other

00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:23.280
flagship phone the g8 thin cue which has

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:26.159
a time of flight sensor that enables users to unlock the device with their

00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:31.519
hand see what i went for a high five

00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:36.400
of course you can also use your face but having a phone recognize the veins in

00:03:33.440 --> 00:03:40.400
your hand sounds way cooler and creepy the sensor can also be used to recognize

00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:43.360
a number of air motion gestures so you can control your phone while your little

00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:49.680
thingies are covered in buffalo wing sauce or buffalo cauliflower james i'm

00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:52.400

4k OLED displays along with triple rear

camera setups and other snappy specs even if your friend's phones are more

00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:05.440
popular at least yours will be taller because that's what you want in a phone

00:05:03.520 --> 00:05:09.280
if you want you just want to beat your my friend my phone's better than your

00:05:07.919 --> 00:05:13.039
phone is you know what they say about big phones

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:17.360
they're bet they're better apparently what nokia wants in a

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:23.199
phone is more cameras introducing the new nokia 9 pureview

00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:27.039
five cameras with zeiss optics the nokia 9 pureview has also been leaked like

00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:31.440
crazy and all of those leaks have been pretty accurate the device has five rear

00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:36.000
cameras plus a flash and time of flight sensor developed in collaboration with

00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:39.919
zeiss optics and what they do is stitch the resulting images together using

00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:44.320
software developed by light that other company that makes tryptophobia-inducing

00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:48.880
camera setups like taking photos but disappointed that your subjects aren't

00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:51.840
nauseous enough nokia 9 pureview buy

00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:56.000
today if you want zeiss one hey

00:05:54.080 --> 00:06:01.199
htc didn't have many phones to show off at mwc but they did have a 5g hotspot

00:05:59.440 --> 00:06:03.840
with em you're impressed

00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:11.080
it's got a 5.5 inch touchscreen so you can use it as a heavy tablet so that's

00:06:08.880 --> 00:06:15.199
cool and it's also got a 7660 milliamp hour battery so you can

00:06:13.440 --> 00:06:18.560
use it as a power bank so it's like a hotspot and a bunch of other things and

00:06:16.960 --> 00:06:21.919
it even has an Ethernet port so you can use 5g with a laptop if you're in a

00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:27.039
pinch although chances are if you're in an area without

00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:29.280
wi-fi there's also going to be no 5g so

00:06:27.039 --> 00:06:32.000
htc what are we going to do with you go to business already

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:38.319
i liked you i you know i i still have some love for you in my heart but

00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:41.840
and speaking of 5g t-mobile has announced the rollout of their 5g

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:46.720
network will be delayed as it awaits availability of devices that can use the

00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:50.479
low band 600 megahertz spectrum sprint on the other hand announced they would

00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:56.000
