WEBVTT

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

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:08.720
launch i forgot my shaving supplies

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

00:00:12.719 --> 00:00:18.880
out how to put this camera together oh i wish brandon was here

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:36.480
the Corsair one features a compact form factor that is fast quiet and you

00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:42.000
guessed it compact check it out through amazon or newegg at the links below

00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:47.120
okay well at least the camera will look good even if the operator doesn't

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

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

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

00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:00.879
over at the event in like

00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:08.240
oh go for eight don't have a charger for that either

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:13.040
uh okay so hopefully this sounds okay because otherwise i'm screwed i still

00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:15.920
don't know exactly what today's format will be so

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

00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:25.680
this thing is very heavy and i'm filled with regret right now

00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:28.320
but on a positive side ubisoft followed me on twitter

00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:41.600
i'm famous oh my god okay break my skills with hold on oh

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

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

00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:54.079
red camera out of five 1.2

00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:56.720
uh one

00:01:54.079 --> 00:02:00.159
oh my god there's so many stairs this thing is so heavy

00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:06.240
fortunately for everybody who's with me i've resolved to suffer in silence

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

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:13.040
rash here and say approval it's not throw words like that around i'll see

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

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

00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:24.640
proper 8k oh there you go there we go 8k wi-fi password

00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:29.680
thank you everybody thank you

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

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:41.360
stairs it's a good thing i got all that great footage during the presentation

00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:47.440
and ak you've got it thank you

00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:52.580
access to the product demo space auditorium as well

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

00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:11.040
water display and i can't even get my SSD amount come on red

00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:11.040
there's one thing this is epic epic fail

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

00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:23.760
everyone else was walking on it it is a freaking zoo in here

00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:30.400
uh try and get some oh you have got to be kidding me

00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:33.040
austin's mag isn't mounting now either yeah

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

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

00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:46.799
detecting dude it's not is it really broken look

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

00:03:50.640 --> 00:03:55.440
holy crap this is like terrible

00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:59.760
and not use it and just shoot it on the iphone

00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:03.840
after four minutes of detecting we have SSD okay

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

00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:11.200
let's get some initial uh handling impressions here

00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:17.759
well bixby's still there so if you were hoping that wasn't then

00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:20.639
you were hoping wrong in fact one of the big things they were

00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:24.800
talking about is how you can use bixby to essentially program like voice

00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:28.080
activated macros which does sound kind of cool although i'd have to spend some

00:04:26.479 --> 00:04:32.720
time with it to evaluate exactly how well it works

00:04:29.840 --> 00:04:36.320
like the note 7 the hold ability is much better than previous notes for me

00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:39.199
thanks to the rounded shape along the edges

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

00:04:41.919 --> 00:04:47.520
trying to hold it up and keep it in focus this is impossible

00:04:47.919 --> 00:04:54.080
austin you just wrecked my shot again bro i was trying to show off the bixby

00:04:52.400 --> 00:04:56.400
button wow

00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:02.400
wow i always get such a kick out of people

00:05:00.320 --> 00:05:08.400
who carry around cleaning clothes for phones because like i carry around a

00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.400
cleaning cloth it's called my shirt

00:05:08.840 --> 00:05:15.600
sucka look at that okay well it didn't do a great job

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

00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:27.440
oops i didn't even drop it look they even installed Linus drop proof floors

00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:31.280
this carpet so we're actually going to lunch with

00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:34.479
samsung but they're going out bed lunches

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

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

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

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:50.960
here oh dude

00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:56.080
s-pen what is this

00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.080
you've got to be kidding me

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

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

00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:12.160
well now i feel like an idiot for shooting anything back at the event this

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

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

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

00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:29.039
the more serious setting is gonna bring about a more serious tone to the rest of

00:06:27.280 --> 00:06:33.199
the video let's talk about some actual impressions here so number one

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

00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:43.759
is a phablet that is actually holdable even with my tiny lady hands

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

00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:51.840
the back and another part of it is actually due to this flat part that

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

00:06:53.440 --> 00:06:59.440
around the edges and i personally really like the change

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

00:07:01.599 --> 00:07:08.000
i personally absolutely loved on the galaxy s8

00:07:05.440 --> 00:07:13.680
just more of it whether you're scrolling through you know long walls of text or

00:07:10.960 --> 00:07:18.240
your twitter or instagram feed or watching wide aspect ratio content like

00:07:16.080 --> 00:07:22.240
brandon's recent review of the red weapon 8k camera

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

00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:30.960
size with that said it does affect ergonomics a little bit and i'm probably

00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:34.639
not the only one who was really hoping that samsung was going to deliver an

00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:38.800
under screen fingerprint sensor on this guy rather than the one at the back

00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:43.120
because it takes me a couple shuffles to get up there to unlock the phone another

00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:47.199
improvement on the screen though is the always-on functionality so i checked

00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:52.880
this out on the show floor but now you can actually create up to a hundred

00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:54.720
pages of notes just on your lock screen

00:07:52.880 --> 00:07:58.319
in a way that consumes very little power and allows you to quickly jot down like

00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:02.319
a tracking number or phone number or whatever else the case may be

00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:06.879
the camera is already generating some mixed feedback the telephoto lens which

00:08:04.960 --> 00:08:12.400
has a 2x optical zoom does not capture images that are nearly

00:08:09.440 --> 00:08:17.919
as sharp as the wide angle but for me personally i don't mind the approach

00:08:15.039 --> 00:08:22.960
because with dual capture you've got the option to do the whole like adjust the

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:26.400
background blur bokeh thing in post which is neat if you're into that kind

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

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

00:08:32.959 --> 00:08:37.919
capture the close-up but if it

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

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

00:08:42.959 --> 00:08:48.240
captured the moment which is far more important for me when it comes to cell

00:08:46.560 --> 00:08:50.640
phone cameras on the subject of things that matter to

00:08:49.760 --> 00:08:57.120
me styluses generally not so much

00:08:54.320 --> 00:09:01.600
the note 7 was my first note device and i had precious little time with it

00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:05.680
before the recall so i never really have gotten in the habit of using a stylus

00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:09.440
but apparently this one's better than ever with more pressure

00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:12.240
levels and lower latency so i look forward to you know kind of tinkering

00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:16.000
around with it over the next couple of weeks while i work on my full review

00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:21.440
and on that subject bixby voice has finally launched in

00:09:18.560 --> 00:09:28.000
canada so when i did my s8 review bixby seemed pretty freaking pointless just a

00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:31.440
a regrettably un remappable button on the side that i would always hit by

00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:34.640
accident and that would annoy me hopefully i'll change my mind their

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

00:09:37.839 --> 00:09:43.519
brightness it can do everything but uh that remains to be seen i've been

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

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

00:09:49.839 --> 00:09:55.839
gotten my attention is apparently the ability to program bixby with like

00:09:54.320 --> 00:10:00.000
macros so you can tell it to

00:09:57.680 --> 00:10:05.040
take a picture save it to a particular album and open up a photo editing

00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:06.480
program or something like that

00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:11.440
whether you're sending a few quick emails from the airport's free wi-fi

00:10:08.800 --> 00:10:16.160
network or doing some emergency banking at that random cafe you might be giving

00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:22.560
away all your personal information but tunnelbear
