Samsung Canada, who's going to be showing us the Galaxy Note 3, which is
their latest and greatest. Tell us what
you guys have done to improve this over the well legendary at this point, Galaxy
Note 2. Sure. I think what people will find it's slightly narrower, slightly
longer, has a a larger screen size. We've been more efficient in terms of
the use of the bezel. All of the hardware is updated. Processor, 3 GB of
on onboard memory, 32 GB of storage
that's standard. And it's also though in in many ways familiar for Samsung folks,
a you know, a product that we've put a lot of thought into the into the design.
Otherwise, you're still able to get inside of the device, even though it has
this nice sort of luxurious feeling kind of leather background or leather feeling
background, but in fact, it's still the same flexible light casing that we've
always had. NFC supported through the battery, 3200 milliamp battery, able to
add external storage, 13 megapixel
camera, and for those that have been following along, this is a device that
borrows a lot from the Galaxy S4 in terms of its functionality, but in it's
also able to take high-end video, more so than any other device from Samsung.
Now, you've covered spec a little bit here. So, it does 4K video and also
1080p video up to 60 FPS, which is pretty awesome. But tell us uh what
else? What do you mean by latest and greatest hardware inside? Sure. Um, so I
think that well I think actually the other uh functionality that I wanted to
cover is more related to the stylus itself where we're kind of bringing
forward the use of the pen because what is signature about the note more than
any other device in the family is the fact that we have this option for for
folks who want to use a pen as part of a natural uh functionality if it'll just
come out of here just like I rehearsed it. Right? So, the first thing you'll
notice is that there's an air command feature. So, this is using that hovering
technology that we first saw on the G on the Note 2 actually and then also
extended on the Galaxy S4. And you'll see that in fact, I'm able to call up
certain commands just by hovering the screen. And then I use the the button
that's on the pen itself to fire up some of those commands. Things as simple as
being able to take an action memo. So, I' I'm able to take a quick note or I
can create a new window inside of the inside of the device. And also, it's
able to sort of navigate now without having to put the pen down. And that's
the biggest advantage of the Note 3. Show us that window uh that window
feature. Sure. So, for example, if I if I invoke this pen window functionality,
you see that I just click that quickly, then I draw a
square, and then I'm able to run certain utilities or programs inside of that
window. So let's say I wanted to do so this is sort of replicating you know I'm
taking notes or I'm doing something else on the phone gez I need to make a quick calculation how can I sort of call that
up or I want to see a quick video or do some other functionality and being able
to take advantage of this sort of advanced hardware um without having to
disturb what I was doing otherwise. So obviously one of the big stories with
the Note 3 given that it's launching at the same time is integration with the
Galaxy Gear smartwatch. So tell me how
these two are are a match made in heaven in your eyes. Sure. Well, I think that
there are as powerful as smartphones are and there are still some transactions
that you might have that are are more immediately served by something that's
more intimate to you. So, for example, being able to take a quick picture or
get a notification that I'm responding to, rather than seeing that on the
device, I can have that in a place that's actually closer to me. And
there's a piece of software that actually is tightly coupled to the use
of the of the device itself, which is called the gear manager, which is how
you would actually use the two devices together. So, what would you expect to
do using the gear versus actually pulling your massive phone out of your
pocket? Um, sure. Well, you know, a
couple of examples might be taking a quick picture because it still takes
some time to, you know, be able to take the the camera out and set it up and so
on. And if you wanted a high-end picture, that's great. If you wanted a
quick snapshot to take a video memo almost that it might be better served
with something that's more closely at hand or get notifications that are are
sent to me while the device is, let's say, docked or in my pocket or something
like that without actually having to respond or even take a call, which I
could do without actually having to, ironically, take out the smartphone and
use it. I could actually just take that call right from the actually the Galaxy
Gear. So convergence is dead then. And it's it's we're we're now we're now
taking the phone functionality out of the phone and putting all the other
functionality into the phone. Well, I think we've recognized that mobile
communications is now the hub of what this is doing and that's a much more
powerful idea than just emailing and phoning. There's a number of things that
people are going to do in terms of running applications. So then the
question is is that you know how can we improve the convenience of how a mobile
communication device works and we think that having something close at hand and
on your wrist is going to be part of that answer. Awesome. Thanks very much,
Ken. And without further ado, I'd like for uh the viewers to direct their
attention to some nice glamour footage of the Galaxy Note 3, which if you're
into big phones, is very likely to be your next tablet.
