okay hi everybody uh
0:03
it's time for tech news you guys you guys ready i don't i can't do this i
0:07
can't do this i'm not doing this
0:10
okay okay okay smartphone makers are having a tough
0:14
time fitting better and better cameras into phones but samsung thinks they have
0:17
a solution take it out of the phone entirely sure why not a patent filed by
0:21
the company in 2017 has been spotted describing an assembly of lenses and
0:25
camera sensors that can be built into a stylus pen images in the patent show an
0:29
array of lenses that could be lined up to create a powerful zoom camera with a
0:34
sensor in the rear that would relay the images to a smartphone now the samsung
0:37
note 9 allows the user to trigger the phone camera with their s pen but this
0:41
design would mean that you could actually take pictures with the pen
0:45
possibly eliminating the need for a selfie camera on the front of the phone
0:48
that's pretty cool awesome why not although that would probably make for
0:52
some awkward maneuvering to try and capture your best angle how would you
0:55
even do that
0:59
i hate it already just kidding maybe it's really cool i don't know we're gonna find out aren't
1:03
we hey you thought phones with an 18 by nine aspect ratio were pushing it well
1:07
sony thinks that you thinking that is dumb not really i don't know i can't
1:12
really speak for sony but you know if some leaked press renders are any
1:15
indication the company is apparently planning to launch their xperia xa3 a
1:20
phone with a 21x9 display the same as ultrawide desktop monitors and some
1:24
films but not only that it's got an old-fashioned regular top bezel instead
1:28
of a notch or cutout for the selfie camera which adds even more length to
1:31
the device some more mundane details include a side mounted fingerprint
1:35
reader a usb type-c port on the bottom and a headphone jack up too whoa nice
1:40
let us know in the comments drop a comment would you guys want to see a
1:44
21x9 phone
1:47
my friends okay whatever whatever and the tech
1:51
world pretty much universally bashed att when it started displaying a 5g e logo
1:56
on Android phones connected to its 5g evolution network because it's not
2:00
actually 5g it's lte but now
2:04
apple has apparently jumped on the bandwagon of misleading names right along with Windows 10 and battlefield 1
2:09
and 5. an update to iOS 12.2 has caused the 5g e logo to appear on iphones in
2:14
areas where at t's fake 5g network is in
2:18
operation funnily enough this isn't even the first time the two companies have
2:21
pulled this stunt they did the same thing when upgrading the iphone 4s to 4g
2:26
back in 2012. we'll all be able to tell when 5g gets here because i'll be pwning
2:30

security researcher Linus hens no relation alignus has discovered and
3:28
demonstrated an exploit from macOS that could expose passwords to hackers but he
3:34
says he won't provide details to apple or help them patch it because the
3:38
company's bug bounty program only applies to iOS and not macOS it's not
3:44
fair yeah maybe you should just hack macOS and say he's using 5g instead of
3:48
wi-fi then apple will pay attention because they because they because the
3:51
other story yeah yeah we did yeah yeah yeah

version of samsung's upcoming galaxy s10 known as the s10e the device reportedly

features a 5.8 inch screen and a dual lens camera instead of the triple lens
4:09
setup on the s10 and the s10 plus it will however have the same camera cut
