1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,839
oh this is already not going very well so i'm here for the samsung note 8

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,720
launch i forgot my shaving supplies

3
00:00:07,839 --> 00:00:15,360
and they didn't have a budget to send me with a camera person so i have to figure

4
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:18,880
out how to put this camera together oh i wish brandon was here

5
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:36,480
the Corsair one features a compact form factor that is fast quiet and you

6
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:42,000
guessed it compact check it out through amazon or newegg at the links below

7
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:47,120
okay well at least the camera will look good even if the operator doesn't

8
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:51,280
i think i've got the audio working i'm not sure the audio level monitoring is

9
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,719
here but i'd love to play around with this but in my infinite wisdom i didn't

10
00:00:53,039 --> 00:01:00,879
bring a charger for the batteries so i've got what i've got and besides i've got to be

11
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,879
over at the event in like

12
00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:08,240
oh go for eight don't have a charger for that either

13
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:13,040
uh okay so hopefully this sounds okay because otherwise i'm screwed i still

14
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,920
don't know exactly what today's format will be so

15
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:21,920
right now i'm just lamenting that i didn't bring a better way to carry this stupid camera around with me all day

16
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:25,680
this thing is very heavy and i'm filled with regret right now

17
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,320
but on a positive side ubisoft followed me on twitter

18
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:41,600
i'm famous oh my god okay break my skills with hold on oh

19
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:44,560
you're out of focus oh man i can't even use the phone rate my skills on how to

20
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:48,560
oh wait i don't know how to use the phone rate my skills on operating the

21
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:54,079
red camera out of five 1.2

22
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:56,720
uh one

23
00:01:54,079 --> 00:02:00,159
oh my god there's so many stairs this thing is so heavy

24
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:06,240
fortunately for everybody who's with me i've resolved to suffer in silence

25
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:10,560
all the silence that's pretty good yes i got austin's approval let's not be

26
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,040
rash here and say approval it's not throw words like that around i'll see

27
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:17,120
you you can zoom in right like you can do like some like oh i could oh right i

28
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:21,440
do all right this is a zoom lens yeah so you can do like that and get actual

29
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:24,640
proper 8k oh there you go there we go 8k wi-fi password

30
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,680
thank you everybody thank you

31
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:37,040
oh man i finally call up the camera and it's over and now i get to haul it down all the

32
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:41,360
stairs it's a good thing i got all that great footage during the presentation

33
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:47,440
and ak you've got it thank you

34
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:52,580
access to the product demo space auditorium as well

35
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:02,879
well come on like this is a concern i'm trying to get me walking on the crazy

36
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:11,040
water display and i can't even get my SSD amount come on red

37
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:11,040
there's one thing this is epic epic fail

38
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:20,800
wow this is a super trippy oh i'm not apparently allowed to be out here well

39
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,760
everyone else was walking on it it is a freaking zoo in here

40
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:30,400
uh try and get some oh you have got to be kidding me

41
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:33,040
austin's mag isn't mounting now either yeah

42
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:38,400
i'm gonna have a new red rent pretty soon the last one was it's expensive

43
00:03:36,239 --> 00:03:43,040
the next one's gonna be it doesn't work when you need it to work your mag's not

44
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:46,799
detecting dude it's not is it really broken look

45
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:53,840
no i'm not even joking it's gonna be your camera dude well i mean that's not good news either

46
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,440
holy crap this is like terrible

47
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:59,760
and not use it and just shoot it on the iphone

48
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:03,840
after four minutes of detecting we have SSD okay

49
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,680
time to get some footage before it i'd breathe on it too hard all right so

50
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:11,200
let's get some initial uh handling impressions here

51
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:17,759
well bixby's still there so if you were hoping that wasn't then

52
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:20,639
you were hoping wrong in fact one of the big things they were

53
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:24,800
talking about is how you can use bixby to essentially program like voice

54
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:28,080
activated macros which does sound kind of cool although i'd have to spend some

55
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:32,720
time with it to evaluate exactly how well it works

56
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:36,320
like the note 7 the hold ability is much better than previous notes for me

57
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,199
thanks to the rounded shape along the edges

58
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,880
i don't know how people do this whole like filming yourself like i'm back here

59
00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:47,520
trying to hold it up and keep it in focus this is impossible

60
00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:54,080
austin you just wrecked my shot again bro i was trying to show off the bixby

61
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,400
button wow

62
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:02,400
wow i always get such a kick out of people

63
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:08,400
who carry around cleaning clothes for phones because like i carry around a

64
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,400
cleaning cloth it's called my shirt

65
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:15,600
sucka look at that okay well it didn't do a great job

66
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:19,600
yeah i think you're just making it worse wow i think it's is that scratched

67
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:27,440
oops i didn't even drop it look they even installed Linus drop proof floors

68
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:31,280
this carpet so we're actually going to lunch with

69
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:34,479
samsung but they're going out bed lunches

70
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,639
so i don't really need the lunch but check this out it's like it's like a

71
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:44,000
happy meal you don't really want the food but it's the goodie that's that's

72
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:47,120
important it's got s-pens inside i can't hey i can't find my s-pen our uber is

73
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,960
here oh dude

74
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:56,080
s-pen what is this

75
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,080
you've got to be kidding me

76
00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:03,120
this this that's not what's what it's not an x-men well one of them's an s-pen

77
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:08,639
it's got like a little plastic nubbin on it but the other two are just pencils

78
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:12,160
well now i feel like an idiot for shooting anything back at the event this

79
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:16,080
place is way cooler check this out it's pretty cool and eber's here too and

80
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:19,120
we've got our own phones to run around and shoot b-roll with so as long as the

81
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:25,360
camera's working then hopefully i'll get some more footage here good news the camera's working and

82
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:29,039
the more serious setting is gonna bring about a more serious tone to the rest of

83
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:33,199
the video let's talk about some actual impressions here so number one

84
00:06:31,039 --> 00:06:38,400
ergonomics a lot of what was good about the note 7 returns like the note 7 this

85
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:43,759
is a phablet that is actually holdable even with my tiny lady hands

86
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:47,840
part of that is due to the fact that the sides are curved on both the front and

87
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,840
the back and another part of it is actually due to this flat part that

88
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,360
they've got on both the left and right side it gives it a little bit more grip

89
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:59,440
around the edges and i personally really like the change

90
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:03,840
other changes the screen it's still the 18 and a half by nine aspect ratio that

91
00:07:01,599 --> 00:07:08,000
i personally absolutely loved on the galaxy s8

92
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:13,680
just more of it whether you're scrolling through you know long walls of text or

93
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:18,240
your twitter or instagram feed or watching wide aspect ratio content like

94
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:22,240
brandon's recent review of the red weapon 8k camera

95
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:26,960
there's just more of it to love i'm a huge fan i absolutely love the taller

96
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:30,960
size with that said it does affect ergonomics a little bit and i'm probably

97
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:34,639
not the only one who was really hoping that samsung was going to deliver an

98
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:38,800
under screen fingerprint sensor on this guy rather than the one at the back

99
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:43,120
because it takes me a couple shuffles to get up there to unlock the phone another

100
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:47,199
improvement on the screen though is the always-on functionality so i checked

101
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:52,880
this out on the show floor but now you can actually create up to a hundred

102
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:54,720
pages of notes just on your lock screen

103
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:58,319
in a way that consumes very little power and allows you to quickly jot down like

104
00:07:56,319 --> 00:08:02,319
a tracking number or phone number or whatever else the case may be

105
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:06,879
the camera is already generating some mixed feedback the telephoto lens which

106
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:12,400
has a 2x optical zoom does not capture images that are nearly

107
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:17,919
as sharp as the wide angle but for me personally i don't mind the approach

108
00:08:15,039 --> 00:08:22,960
because with dual capture you've got the option to do the whole like adjust the

109
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:26,400
background blur bokeh thing in post which is neat if you're into that kind

110
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:30,720
of artsy stuff but it's really not my bag but for me what's cool about dual

111
00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:35,120
capture is the fact that i don't really have to compromise so i can try and

112
00:08:32,959 --> 00:08:37,919
capture the close-up but if it

113
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,279
kind of looks soft or doesn't look as good or i got the framing kind of wrong

114
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,720
then at least i can fall back to the wide angle shot and know that i've

115
00:08:42,959 --> 00:08:48,240
captured the moment which is far more important for me when it comes to cell

116
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:50,640
phone cameras on the subject of things that matter to

117
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:57,120
me styluses generally not so much

118
00:08:54,320 --> 00:09:01,600
the note 7 was my first note device and i had precious little time with it

119
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:05,680
before the recall so i never really have gotten in the habit of using a stylus

120
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:09,440
but apparently this one's better than ever with more pressure

121
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:12,240
levels and lower latency so i look forward to you know kind of tinkering

122
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:16,000
around with it over the next couple of weeks while i work on my full review

123
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:21,440
and on that subject bixby voice has finally launched in

124
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:28,000
canada so when i did my s8 review bixby seemed pretty freaking pointless just a

125
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:31,440
a regrettably un remappable button on the side that i would always hit by

126
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,640
accident and that would annoy me hopefully i'll change my mind their

127
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:39,839
pitch for it is like pretty hardcore they're like yeah you can change your Wi-Fi settings you can adjust your screen

128
00:09:37,839 --> 00:09:43,519
brightness it can do everything but uh that remains to be seen i've been

129
00:09:41,839 --> 00:09:47,920
promised that i can talk naturally to my device and it'll behave in a way that

130
00:09:44,959 --> 00:09:51,839
i'd expect a lot of times and it's never really come through but one thing that's

131
00:09:49,839 --> 00:09:55,839
gotten my attention is apparently the ability to program bixby with like

132
00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:00,000
macros so you can tell it to

133
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:05,040
take a picture save it to a particular album and open up a photo editing

134
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,480
program or something like that

135
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:11,440
whether you're sending a few quick emails from the airport's free wi-fi

136
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:16,160
network or doing some emergency banking at that random cafe you might be giving

137

away all your personal information but tunnelbear
