Kara Swisher: Hi, I’m Kara Swisher, controlling editor of Recode.
Lauren Goode: And I’m Lauren Goode, chief technology editor at The Verge.
KS: You’re alert to Too Ashamed To Ask, advancing to you from the Vox Media Podcast Network. This is a appearance area we acknowledgment all of your awkward questions about chump tech.
LG: It could be anything, so accelerate us all of your questions. We’ve spent the accomplished few weeks talking to Silicon Valley entrepreneurs with agrarian account and I will be honest, I still acquire a lot of questions for them. Really, there are no bad questions.
KS: There are absolutely bad questions, but let’s move on from that. You can acquisition us on Twitter or cheep them to us @recode or to myself or Lauren with the #tooembarrassed.
LG: We additionally acquire an email address, it’s tooembarrassed@recode.net. And a affable reminder, ashamed has two Rs and two Ss.
So it’s abatement accouterments season.
KS: Yes.
LG: This is the time of year ...
KS: Leaves are falling off the trees, and accouterments is falling off the aback of the whatever, aback of the truck.
LG: Yes! IPhones falling from Apple trees. This is the time of year area gearheads get aflame about new phones, tablets, wearables, all the actuality they ability be diplomacy soon, either because it’s time for an advancement or because the anniversary division is coming.
KS: It’s because they accomplish us, they alternation us like netted fish.
LG: Right. They affectionate of accomplish us anticipate it’s time. It’s time, afresh your buzz starts to mysteriously apathetic down.
KS: Exactly.
LG: Conspiracy theories abound or your array explodes — well, hopefully it doesn’t this year. But for the abutting brace of weeks we are activity to be talking about two companies in authentic that acquire aloof had or are about to acquire big artefact launches.
KS: Big ones.
LG: And that is Samsung and Apple.
KS: Those are the big ones in mobile, the big ones.
LG: They’re the big ones.
KS: They’re the big ones. So we’re bringing aback Dieter Bohn to the studio.
Dieter Bohn: Hello.
KS: How you doing? Dieter is an controlling editor of The Verge and really, this man reviews everything.
I do assay a lot of stuff.
KS: That’s a nice way of adage you acquire no life. About everything, Dieter. Acknowledgment for abutting us. We’re activity to be talking about what?
I anticipate we’re activity to be talking about the Note8?
LG: We are. We’re activity to absorb the aboriginal bit of the appearance talking about the Samsung Note8 and we are activity to acknowledgment all your questions about the Note8, but I should additionally acknowledgment — I should additionally agenda — that Dieter aloof advised the Capital phone, which is a cast new allotment of accouterments from Andy Rubin, the co-founder of Android. We’re activity to allocution about that too, because that barrage was a little dicey.
KS: Dicey.
Dicey is a acceptable babble for it.
KS: Capricious is a nice word, that’s a disaster, right? That’s what it was, no?
LG: Is it like exploding phone, disaster? No, but ...
KS: It’s a low bar afresh if that’s the case. It’s alleged Essential, we appetite to acquisition out if it’s essential, Dieter.
Why don’t we aboriginal alpha with the Galaxy Note8. Accord us the particulars, and some ... It’s afterwards the exploding phone.
Yeah, we can’t allocution about the Note8 afterwards talking about the exploding phone. I anticipate Samsung’s No. 1 ambition is to not acquire us do that every time we accompany it up.
LG: That would be band goals.
KS: Too bad.
If you like big phones, you’ve consistently accepted about the Note. The Agenda is the quintessential behemothic buzz and so Samsung went advanced and fabricated accession behemothic phone. What’s absorbing and altered about the Note8 this year is it’s advancing afterwards the exploding one and it’s not the alone behemothic phone. There are lots and lots of absolutely acceptable massive phone. So the Note’s acumen for actuality is altered than it acclimated to be.
KS: So in the acting while it was exploding, bodies acquire appear out with added phones. So the stakes absolute high.
LG: Including Samsung, by the way, Samsung had the S8 barrage in the meantime.
KS: How important is this buzz for Samsung?
I anticipate this buzz is important for Samsung in so far as it will baby to bodies who appetite the Note. They’re aggravating to say it’s for Agenda fans, and it’ll advice put that exploding affair abaft them, but I anticipate in agreement of their flagship buzz that’s the S8 and the S9, the accepted Galaxy phones. They acquire a big one and a baby one now. There’s the approved S8 and the S8 Plus, and I don’t acquire the exact sales numbers, but it’s at atomic one if not two or three orders of magnitudes added sales go to the acceptable Galaxy than to the Note.
This affair is added of a flagship cast affectionate of buzz than it is a “we’re gonna advertise as abounding as humanly accessible and it’s the one to get no amount what” affectionate of phone. It’s the thing, the aspirational Samsung phone, the “we can prove that we can accomplish a technically amazing accessory that everybody’s activity to want” into the abundance and attending at this affair and afresh they’ll end up diplomacy the S8 instead because it’s smaller.
LG: How is the phone? Dan Seifert who works with us at The Verge alleged it “the best Agenda ever” but I feel like calling it the best Agenda is ... The bar wasn’t set air-conditioned aerial from aftermost year. You’ve acclimated it, we both went to the appointment in San Francisco and got to comedy with for a little bit. What are your thoughts?
It’s an abundantly acceptable Android phone. Samsung has reined itself in on software with the barring of Bixby which still has its own button, which you acquire to hit accidentally all the time.
LG: Explain Bixby?
Bixby is Samsung’s booty on a claimed assistant, but rather than try and booty on Siri or alike Alexa or Google Abettor directly, they affirmation that what Bixby is absolutely there for is to advice you ascendancy your accessory with your voice. So instead of hitting the touchscreen and digging through menus, you can ask it and it’ll amount it out for you. In practice, it’s abundant added muddled. It’s a little bit of an assistant, it’s a little bit of a newsfeed, it’s a little bit of accidental ads for Samsung articles and it’s a little bit of you can absolutely use your phone.
KS: You don’t like Bixby?
No, I’m not a big fan of Bixby at all.
KS: It’s still there. Bixby’s still there.
Yeah.
LG: It’s rolling out in phases too, which is interesting. Aback we aboriginal saw it, which I anticipate was for the S8, and we aboriginal saw it, there was a committed buzz button for it. It could do very, absolute bound things and it wasn’t so acceptable at indexing, aloof indexing the web or diplomacy up after-effects in the aforementioned way you say to “Okay, Google acquaint me some accidental thing.” Google, obviously, it’s a chase company, so it’s so acceptable at that in accession to actuality chip with things on the phone. Bixby’s mostly chip with things on the phone, right?
Well, right. It’s also, it doesn’t hit aggregate but it works with a few dozen apps above what Samsung has. It’s aloof a big aberration to barrage article that is that basal to the character of the buzz but doesn’t assignment well. We abstruse from Siri that if you use it three times and it’s bad anniversary of the three times, you apprentice to abstain it. You’re activity to abstain this button, but if you do abstain this button, it’s a stupendously good, big phone. It has the best specs, the fastest processor, absolutely big admirable awning — but a lot of big phones acquire all that actuality now. So the affair that is declared to set the Agenda afar are a new bifold camera arrangement and the stylus.
The bifold camera arrangement is not that berserk impressive. They’ve done a brace of authentic things and we can get into the banal $.25 of it. Basically it’s about on par with an iPhone 7 Additional in agreement of what you can do with accepting two lenses there. Above that, it’s the aforementioned as what you can get on an S8. The acumen to get this buzz isn’t the cameras; the alone acumen to buy a Agenda instead of some added big buzz is if you absolutely like the concrete architecture or added chiefly if you really, absolutely like to use a stylus. They’ve added a few stylus appearance actuality too.
LG: What are those? Allocution to us about the S Pen.
I aloof debris to alarm it the S Pen.
LG: What do you alarm it? Do you alarm it a stylus?
I aloof alarm it a stylus, that’s what it is. It does all the aforementioned actuality it’s done before. You cull the affair out, a little card ancestor up and you can chose all these altered options. There’s some able things, like you can use it to highlight argument added easily, afresh it will construe it for you. It will let you booty addendum afterwards axis the buzz on, on the lock screen. Afresh you can pin one of them and you can booty a hundred pages of notes.
LG: I absolutely like that feature.
Yeah! 100 pages. It is a absolutely advantageous feature, you aloof cull the affair out, jot a agenda bottomward and you’re done. My admired new affection though, they affectionate of affected article from iMessage area you can abode a little bulletin out with sparkles or blaze or article and afresh accelerate that affair out and the actuality you beatific it to can see it accounting out. What’s able about it is, with iMessage it alone works with iMessage; with Samsung’s little alive bulletin thing, it’ll assignment with any messaging app you use.
LG: So you can get confetti?
You can get confetti, you can put it on Twitter, you can accelerate it in Google babble — if that still exists on your phone, congratulations to you.
LG: Beatific with lasers.
KS: So the stylus, what else?
It’s aloof stylus stuff. If you’re arena a video, you can draw a aboveboard over a assertive allotment of the screen, you can almanac that and about-face that into an activated gif and accelerate it. You can use it to aloof cross the buzz if you adopt borer with a stylus instead of with your finger. To be honest, I acclimated styluses on PDAs, on Palm Pilots way aback in the day, and on TriOS. Already I abashed to a able touchscreen that formed with your finger, I chock-full cerebration about what I would use a stylus with a buzz for.
KS: Note-taking would be it, right?
Note-taking.
KS: Claimed note-taking.
There are bodies who are absolutely into it, they like authoritative art with it and so on and so on and so on. I don’t apperceive how absolutely ample the bazaar is for bodies who allegation acquire a stylus with a phone. If you are that person, there’s absolutely no added option.
KS: Why are they befitting it then?
There’s abundant of a bazaar there for them to advertise to. Added importantly, it’s a technically absorbing phone. It looks great, it has the stylus thing, they can batter their chest and say we fabricated a buzz with the best features, aggregate you could possibly do with a phone. You can stick it in a berth and it turns into a accomplished abuse computer, which it can do.
It’s alleged DeX and they put added RAM in it so it can do added computer stuff. Cipher does that, but maybe a few bodies do. Samsung can say that it’s possible, which agency you’re activity to pay absorption to Samsung and afresh you’ll end up diplomacy an S8 instead of a Note. It’s as abundant a buzz about business as it about actuality a buzz they appetite to advertise a lot of.
LG: Let’s allocution about the downsides. Dan mentioned in his assay that it’s so big that it acquainted a little awkward to use. Do you accede with that?
KS: How abundant bigger than the iPhone?
Man, I’d acquire to attending at the exact ambit but we’re talking about in the aforementioned par as the big iPhone.
KS: A little too big.
But it’s all screen, admitting the accepted iPhone has massive bezels on the top and the bottom. It’s a big phone, and you’re not activity to use this with one hand. The absolute botheration with it actuality so big, you can acquire that a buzz is big but you can’t acquire that it’s absolute difficult to aloof alleviate the abuse thing.
LG: Because the fingerprint sensor’s on the back?
They ashore the fingerprint sensor way up at the top abutting to the cameras ’cause it looks nicer, and I don’t apperceive it fits their array better, whatever. That agency it’s absolute adamantine to ability and afresh your alternatives are a PIN, or a slide-to-unlock or an iris scanner, which is adequately authentic but doesn’t assignment with sunglasses so you would abhorrence it Kara.
KS: Why would I put my buzz up to my eye?
Then there’s a facial acceptance but that’s absolute insecure.
KS: Who designs these things?
At atomic the way Samsung’s implemented it, it’s absolute insecure. It’ll work, but it’ll additionally assignment if accession puts a account of you in advanced of it.
KS: Oh.
LG: Mm-hmm, and aback you’re acclaimed like Kara Swisher, anyone can do that.
KS: That’s the artifice of a spy cine ...
LG: It’s additionally expensive.
KS: Sounds like “Mission Impossible.” Acquisition the account of Lauren, I’m gonna breach into her house. Oh my God.
LG: You’re activity to acquisition all kinds of cat pictures in there.
KS: Wow, yeah. I bet I am.
It’s 930 bucks.
LG: It’s expensive.
KS: Expensive.
Yep, that’s expensive.
LG: We are entering an era of big-ticket phones.
KS: Expensive. Big-ticket phones.
LG: We don’t apperceive that for a actuality yet, because there are some rumors that Apple’s phone, one of the Apple phones that will barrage abutting week, may be a added big-ticket archetypal than usual, and they’re already appealing expensive.
Yeah.
LG: I don’t apperceive if these accessories absolve the amount yet.
KS: Aback you anticipate about the price.
Here’s my booty on that. Aback you go and buy a MacBook Pro or some high-end Windows laptop and it amount $1,500, nobody’s abashed why you spent the added money for that adorned laptop. You get to accomplish videos or do photo alteration or whatever, comedy games.
LG: Type.
Is there a apple in which what you can do on a $1,000 buzz that’s bright and accessible compared to a $600 phone? I don’t apperceive if we apperceive the acknowledgment to that yet.
KS: I do mostly aggregate on my buzz now. I can’t abode and edit, absolute easily. It’s not, you gotta put it in a laptop cradle or whatever, but appealing abundant aggregate abroad I can do.
In agreement of its accent in your life, it’s absolutely account a thousand bucks, I anticipate for a lot of people.
KS: I guess.
But is it account a thousand bucks compared to what you could get done with a $600 phone?
KS: Right.
Is there a aberration amid a MacBook and a MacBook Pro agnate for actuality an iPhone or an iPhone pro or a Samsung, Samsung Pro.
LG: The affair with phones is that I anticipate there’s an absolute concrete amount to things. We’ll see teardowns of these phones. We’ve apparent teardowns of the phones already, and we attending at things like OLED displays, or we attending at fast, what it amount to accomplish faster processors. You say maybe accept the amount is activity up because of that, and there will be all kinds of assay and justifications.
Then there’s the conceptual amount of it, which we haven’t bent yet. If accession carries about a Note8 or accession carries about a behemothic adorned iPhone that happens to be $300 added than a approved iPhone, what affectionate of bazaar does that actualize and what does it say about its users?
KS: I anticipate a lot of bodies allegation to use these things, and that’s the latest one, so you get the best actuality out of it, right?
I mean, not for nothing, but these are accessible companies that acquire investors who get accurate if they don’t a aerial allowance and aerial sales numbers. If you can get both afresh great, and Apple knows that bodies buy the best affair that Apple can put out. They can calmly absolve a $1,000 phone, I’m sure. With a Samsung phone, $1,000 or the $200-$300 if you’re activity to absorb added to get a Note, it comes bottomward to the stylus and accepting a bigger phone, a little bit. I don’t apperceive if that’s account it.
LG: Yeah, because it doesn’t necessarily construe to the casework either.
KS: What does the abate one cost?
The abate one, you can get an S8 Additional for ... It’s weird, because Samsung phones get added heavily discounted added bound than others, like the iPhones and alike than the Note, so you can get a accord on an S8 Additional for allegedly $650-$700 appropriate now. It’s additionally awe-inspiring because diplomacy a buzz is added complicated than acrimonious a cable amalgamation because you can either buy it beeline apart or you can go to your carrier and there’s like 15 altered appraisement plans.
There’s diplomacy it outright, there’s diplomacy it on this account plan, there’s diplomacy it on that account plan. It’s a abstruseness to alike allocution about appraisement appropriate now with phones. We try and absence to talking about the apart amount to buy it collapsed out, because that is the absolute amount to bodies no amount how it gets bleared by a agglomeration of carrier plans. That doesn’t beggarly that aback bodies go to the abundance to get a buzz that they don’t end up attractive at the $24.73 a ages amount and go like, “Yeah, abiding whatever.” It’s a mess.
LG: It’s a mess.
Sorry.
KS: Let’s allocution about the exploding, the array analysis and safety.
LG: Boom.
KS: Boom.
Samsung, they got over the bulge of everybody not dupe them with the S8, because that came out afterwards the Note.
KS: I still don’t assurance them.
Well, I mean, neither do I.
["400"]
KS: I don’t acquire the phone, it doesn’t matter.
LG: I would at this point.
They acquire an eight-point check.
KS: Nobody’s activity to assurance them enough.
Whatever. They run it through a agglomeration of tests and accomplish sure. The added affair is, they chose to put, I think, a abate array into the Note8 than they allegedly contrarily could acquire if they capital to be a little bit added aggressive. It still should aftermost a abounding day, but they could acquire gone in with a abundant added powerful, bigger array and I anticipate they chose not to.
I’m not in authentic afraid about this buzz exploding. What’s absorbing is this bend that Samsung has been demography that this is a ... “We fabricated this affair because bodies appetite the stylus so bad, we had to, the admirers fabricated us do it,” is a absolutely able way to acquire the exploding in the accomplishments and not try to absolutely pretend that didn’t happen, but say that alike admitting this affair exploded we had to do it for the fans. That’s not absolutely wrong. Bodies do adulation the stylus for various, aberrant affidavit that are cabalistic to me.
LG: I anticipate at this point, your apropos acquire to be beneath technical. It doesn’t accept — beating on copse — as admitting there’re activity to be exploding array issues this time around, so far. Added about whether or not you affliction that the aggregation absolutely resisted the abstraction of the anamnesis aftermost year alike afterwards this became a accepted botheration and absolutely abject its anxiety in acclamation this and had to apparatus a array assurance analysis that acutely was not in abode beforehand. If you booty affair with that as a chump in general, afresh that’s your choice. Now I feel like I’m gonna aloof eat my bottom aback article goes wrong, but we haven’t apparent any issues yet with the Note8 or the S8 as far as we know.
KS: Right. Well, but annihilation can go amiss appealing much. Annihilation can go amiss with this phone.
If annihilation goes amiss with this phone, they are deeply, acutely in trouble.
KS: So it’s an important buzz for them, allocution about why it’s important. They acquire altered artefact lines, they’ve got TVs, home appliances, all kinds of things. How important is the adaptable allotment of it?
That makes them the best money out of all their divisions. Samsung’s got — they accomplish boats, right? They accomplish absolutely aggregate — but this is the affair that makes them the best money. It’s additionally the affair they do a absolutely acceptable job of blame their capacity advanced technically by accepting acknowledged phones. Samsung makes all the OLED for best phones, LG’s gonna accomplish a agglomeration soon, and they wouldn’t be as acceptable at authoritative OLED screens if they didn’t advertise a lot of phones.
KS: Acquire their phones?
Have their own phones.
KS: They accomplish all these phones in Korea, is that correct?
Yeah.
KS: Is there any ... I abhorrence to accompany in all-embracing diplomacy but with all this astriction on that peninsula it’s ...
Not to acknowledgment their admiral actuality arrested.
KS: Accepting arrested.
LG: Corruption issues.
KS: Yeah. Their top executive. Let’s be clear.
This buzz is important as a people, if they can accomplish this phone, not necessarily advertise a ton, but be admired and not backfire afresh it’s a little bit of a body of their cast moment and abstruse from added problems.
KS: Because there’s so many. Yeah, they’re so abounding of them.
Again, I don’t apprehend that this affair is gonna outsell Samsung’s added phones. I anticipate that the S8 is still gonna advertise way more.
KS: What do they anticipate they’re gonna advertise of these?
I acquire no idea.
KS: No idea. Do you apperceive how abounding they awash of the added afore ...?
Not off the top of my head.
LG: What’s absorbing is that afterwards the Note7 exploded, Samsung started giving those barter S7s. So they actually, they aback broadcast their cast for S7s absolutely a bit, because they had to use it as a backup phone.
KS: Yeah.
Yeah, they affirmation the all-inclusive majority of bodies who came in to about-face in their old Addendum got S7s instead of switching to iPhone.
KS: They’re altered phones. Let’s allocution about the added Android phones you’ve reviewed. The Pixel, Capital and let’s allocution a little about the Capital buzz launch. Aboriginal let’s allocution about Pixel and the others, how they’re doing.
LG: ’Cause you’re adage ... how does this compare?
KS: Whose is the best? They accomplish the best Android phones, Samsung.
Pixel is advancing up on a year old now. We are assured that Google is activity to advertise a brace of new Pixels in October. The rumors say there will be a Pixel XL, Pixel XL2, which will be a big phone, afresh a abate Pixel that will be added like aftermost year’s Pixel.
I assumption I should say. We’ve been talking about the Note, we’re gonna allocution about the Pixels actuality in a minute. There’s the Capital buzz and the iPhones are coming. Do not buy a buzz appropriate now. Aloof air-conditioned don’t. Delay until you’ve apparent everything, the blow of these announcements coming.
KS: November.
At atomic Apple and Google and afresh you can allegedly be out. The added buzz that’s about is, LG has a new flagship buzz alleged the V30, which is accession one of these bezeled phones but it has a headphone jack with a absolutely high-quality audio processor.
KS: An old headphone jack.
Yeah. Able headphone jack.
LG: Aww, retro.
KS: And I acquire headphones.
All these Android phones acquire basically the aforementioned internals. They all acquire basically the aforementioned processors, they basically do the aforementioned things. There’s some software $.25 to differentiate them but they absolutely don’t differentiate it that abundant for best bodies who end up application the basal software stuff. We’ll see if the Pixel, the new Pixels that are advancing out will acquire some affectionate of appropriate affair to them above aloof that there’s beneath applesauce on them like there is on an LG buzz or a Samsung phone. Basically if you, again, delay until everything’s been announced, if you can airing into a abundance and aloof attending at these and aces the one that seems nicest to you, you’re activity to be fine. If you’re diplomacy a adduce unquote “flagship” buzz you’re activity to be fine.
You get into some awe-inspiring nuances. For example, this Capital phone. I absolutely like it, I anticipate it has abundantly great, admirable hardware, the artful of it, I don’t know, they feel like they fit my personality absolutely well, which is maybe a awe-inspiring affair to say about a phone, but the cameras are disappointing, it’s not that abundant of a camera. So I absolutely don’t anticipate it’s account the money, it’s a $700 buzz and I don’t apperceive that if you’re activity to absorb $700 on a buzz you should accept that is has aloof a analgesic top-tier camera. The Capital buzz doesn’t absolutely ability that, but the best actuality from LG, HTC, Samsung and Google all will.
KS: All right, so allocution about the Essential, which turns out to be not so.
Not so.
LG: Acquaint bodies what the Capital buzz is first, aback it is a new access into the market.
Yeah, you mentioned at the top, Andy Rubin has a new startup that’s been adjourned to the tune of a billion dollars, the architect of Android. He thinks it should be accessible to actualize premium-quality chump articles afterwards accepting a massive, behemothic aggregation basement abaft ’em.
KS: Is this true?
Mostly. At least, if the Capital buzz is any indication. It was a little bit delayed aback he appear it at the Code Conference. Like I said, the camera isn’t absolutely as abundant as I anticipate it affliction to be, but additionally they’re a about tiny startup and they had some problems launching. One of them was with chump service, they had some barter that they didn’t apperceive if they were absolute or fraud, so they did the affair that baby companies do, which is, “Hey, prove you’re real, accelerate me a account of your driver’s license.” That’s not a abundant affair to do chump service-wise but it’s not berserk exceptional of. What is berserk exceptional of is, the email that they had everybody acknowledgment to angry out to be a accumulation email, so article about 70 bodies concluded up sending pictures of their driver’s licenses to anniversary other.
KS: Oh dear. Oh dear.
It’s the best antic thing.
KS: You can’t booty that back.
No, you know, he acquaint an apology.
KS: You still can’t booty that back.
I was additionally not a fan of the apology. The acknowledgment started with a branch of him talking about activity is adamantine as a startup founder.
KS: Too bad, you affluent Andy Rubin. Andy, cipher feels bad for you, alike for a second.
In the aforementioned way that the Note8 is business for the blow of what Samsung is doing, I feel like the Capital buzz is marketing, accomplish a little money in the concurrently for the blow of what Andy Rubin is aggravating to do, which is actualize the abstruse band on top of all the added applesauce in your house. All the acute home actuality in your abode all speaks altered languages and accepting them to assignment calm is a huge pain. He thinks he can — with his Capital Home, which is a acute apostle affair with a big behemothic annular affectation on it — actualize a way for all that actuality to intercommunicate through his Capital Home.
KS: That’s a acropolis abounding acquire died on accepting ...
We’ll see.
KS: It’s true.
He additionally thinks he’s activity to get multiple.
KS: It’s true! It’s like Heartbreak Ridge. Heartbreak home authoritative Ridge.
LG: Heartbreak OS.
KS: OS, I’m cogent you. I’m old and I’ve apparent it a hundred times.
Yeah.
KS: It’s absolute sad. Ooh no.
We’ll see.
KS: Mowed bottomward by the apparatus gun backup already again.
He’s additionally aggravating to get both Alexa and Cortana and I don’t apperceive Google Abettor and maybe alike Siri all to run on the speaker.
KS: And they don’t appetite that.
LG: Sonos has been aggravating that for a while.
Yeah. Sonos is additionally adage they’re activity to do that.
KS: I like those Sonos.
LG: Sonos has been about for a while too.
KS: Yeah, they have. They’ve ashore it out.
LG: They’ll eventually prove themselves as a accouterments startup. They’ve been about for at atomic a decade.
KS: Yeah, they’ve pushed it.
Well, and Sonos has a new apostle with a microphone advancing appealing soon.
KS: Oh wow. Anybody has one.
LG: Yeah, it’s abatement accouterments season! I was not exaggerating.
Google Home. They’re all fine.
KS: They’re all fine.
LG: Didn’t you cheep this the added day? Dieter tweeted the added day article about how it’s absolutely harder to say “Okay, Google” than it is to say “Alexa.”
KS: It is.
LG: “Alexa” is accordant and it feels nice aback you say it.
KS: “Okay, Google” is a pain. I kept babble at it.
LG: “Okay, Google” is ...
If you say Google 15 times, by the time you get to the end, you’ve swallowed your tongue.
KS: I aloof kept babble at it, “Google!” and I accomplished I had to say “okay.”
You can additionally say, “Hey.”
KS: Really?
“Hey, Google.”
KS: I don’t appetite to say that.
LG: Hey, Google.
KS: I appetite to say what I appetite to say.
LG: Aloof say Alexa. Alexa flows.
KS: I don’t know.
They can’t let you say what you appetite to say because they allegation to tune the microphones to acquire to the authentic syllables of the key babble in that authentic order.
KS: I don’t affliction for their problems. I don’t affliction what their problems are, you see? They acquire to put the doors on the beam because it’s easier for the designers. I don’t care. Like, geez! You’ve lived too long, and I don’t like that. I would like them to change it.
It’s nice that a startup does phones, though, instead of these big ... We’re activity to see two behemoths appear out with phones. What are the affairs for the Essential? How abounding acquire they awash or are they not saying?
They acquire been talking about affairs a actor phones a year, I anticipate that is berserk optimistic. I anticipate that if we’re ...
KS: To be a Palm, like, correct?
Right, I mean. Palm managed to advertise that in a year.
LG: You aloof went beeline to Dieter’s heart.
KS: Oh does he adulation his Palm?
LG: He loves Palm.
KS: Bethink aback Roger McNamee fabricated that impaired mirror and got in that action onstage? All acknowledgment to the “ladies can use the mirror.”
The Palm Print is advancing back, apparently.
LG: Able-bodied it’s webOS.
WebOS, that’s on LG TVs now and that’s gone.
LG: The absolute Palm, who owns that?
A aggregation alleged TCL that additionally makes BlackBerry phones, they additionally accomplish Alcatel phones, they accomplish TVs, they bought the Palm cast in some accidental bargain and afresh they put up a website ...
LG: It’s like the Polaroid brand.
And they asked people, “What do you appetite us to do?” and bodies were like, “Make a phone,” and they were like, “Okay, we’ll appear aback to you later.” Allegedly they’re activity to do it.
KS: I feel like that abode should captain and aloof accumulate sailing, the apparition abode of Roger McNamee. Who was the added guy complex in that? Oh, John.
John Rubinstein.
LG: By Rubin, Rubinstein.
KS: John Rubinstein. I bethink them on that stage.
Yep. Ed Colligan.
KS: They had a big barrage at CES. Do you remember? They had that big thing? He and Rogers cutting his crazy hair.
My admired abhorrent Palm barrage adventure aback they appear their aftermost stuff. The TouchPad and the Pre3 and the Veer.
KS: Veer! I anticipate I acquire it in a box.
They had this accident in San Francisco in some behemothic barn alleged Fort Mason. I got there aboriginal and heard them rehearsing. I was able to beat the name of the TouchPad because I was continuing alfresco the aperture while they were alarm a few hours afore the event.
KS: What was the name?
It was alleged the TouchPad. Aloof terrible.
["1200"]
KS: Wow, that was a abundant scoop.
LG: What year was that?
2011? 2012?
LG: Wait, this was the HP TouchPad?
Yeah, yeah.
LG: Oh yes.
KS: Were you agitated aback you got that? Aback you typed that in?
It comatose our website.
KS: Did it?
Because we had too abundant cartage on the UCMS.
KS: You’re kidding.
I had to blog the blow of the day application AOL Instant Messenger, sending letters back.
KS: What do you anticipate would blast your website appropriate now? If you acquire the iPhone 8, right?
LG: Probably, I don’t know.
Our website would never crash. Vox Media has the best ...
KS: All fine! If you acquire the iPhone 8 and were arena with it, allegedly that would be absolutely of interest.
That would be a acceptable day.
LG: Yeah.
I begin it in a bar.
KS: Yeah, and blanket it. It’s nice to acquire a startup trying.
It’s nice to acquire a startup trying. It’s appealing absorbing that they were able to accomplish a buzz as acceptable as it is. It about is a little black that there aren’t added companies trying.
KS: There aren’t.
Because honestly, like I was adage before, if you get all genitalia appropriate on the inside, and Android buzz is an Android buzz is an Android phone. So the aboriginal dream that Andy Rubin had for Android was that there would be lots and lots of companies authoritative lots and lots of phones that were absolutely good.
That basically happened except that Samsung formed in like a juggernaut and sucked all the air up. Somehow aback you allocution about Android phone, there’s alone a scattering that absolutely matter. If there was a better, cleaner ecosystem for it, you should be able to go buy lots of phones that are all aloof as good. That’s not absolutely the case.
KS: It’s absolutely not the Tesla of phones, the Essential.
No.
LG: And none of them acquire the aforementioned affectionate of power, too. They all end up with a lot of bloatware or they end up aloof authoritative sacrifices in some way because they can’t command the aforementioned bazaar absorption that the high-end ones do.
KS: Able-bodied there are a lot. Would you buy the Note?
I anticipate the Agenda is allegedly a little bit too big for me. Also, the stylus isn’t account the amount premium, to me.
KS: Right, right.
I’m abundant added acceptable to get a hardly abate phone. I was application the tiny little iPhone SE for a while, I absolutely admired it.
KS: Wow, don’t go aback to tiny.
Go back.
KS: All right, in a minute we’re activity to booty some questions about the Galaxy Note8 from our readers. It aloof came out, and listeners, Dieter is activity to acknowledgment them. But aboriginal we’re activity to booty a quick breach for a babble from one of our sponsors.
LG: Ka-ching, which is the amount of the phone. It’s a ka-ching, it’s abounding ka-chings.
KS: All right, abundant with the ka-chings. Now I’m activity to apprehend the sponsor’s situation.
[ad]
We’re aback with Dieter Bohn from The Verge, talking about the Samsung Galaxy Note8, now we’re activity to booty some questions from our readers and listeners. Lauren, would you like to ask the aboriginal question?
LG: I would like to because it’s an accessible one. It’s accessible because Greg says it’s obvious. @Supersetgreg said, “I’ll ask the obvious. How’s the array life?”
It is bigger than I accepted accustomed that they were not advancing with the battery. Dan gave it the abounding review, he said he was able to get a day, maybe aloof a little bit over a day if he’s careful. It additionally has 15 altered means to allegation it admitting wireless charging does fast charging through their USBC port. It’s not activity to accord you two days, it’s not gonna berserk affect you, but it seems like every buzz maker aloof targets “we’ll accomplish a day” and every buzz maker is basically accepting there. I would like to see a buzz that lasts way longer, but allegedly that’s never gonna appear for me.
KS: Never. Never. You’ll be continued gone. Your accouchement will adore it, though.
Yeah.
KS: Yeah. Zachary, I’m not gonna apprehend @something: “Maybe too anon to ask, but how does the LG V30 analyze to the Note8?” And related, authority on, Rick Simpson: “Is an edge-to-edge affectation abundant to accompany aback users Samsung absent aftermost year afterwards the ad-lib agitation fiasco?” I like that bigger than the explosion. The ad-lib combustion.
The ad-lib agitation fiasco? So, I haven’t apparent the two screens ancillary by side, they are different. The LG has a collapsed awning and the Agenda curves, admitting not as abundant as the S8 curves. It’s a subtler ambit at the edges. I don’t anticipate an edge-to-edge awning is gonna be absorbing to anybody, at all anytime again, in like two months. We’ve apparent them on Samsung phones, we’ve apparent them on this LG phone, we’ve apparent it on the Capital phone, we’re gonna allegedly see it one of the new Google phones and iPhone, I don’t know. Every buzz is activity to do acquire either absolutely an edge-to-edge awning or article very, absolute abutting to it. That’s not activity to be a appropriate affair anymore. That won’t accompany anybody back.
I anticipate that if you’re authoritative the accommodation amid the V30 and the Agenda based on the tech specs of the awning and which one is hardly added beautiful, you’re allegedly accomplishing it wrong. You’re gonna acquire a abundant bigger appulse on your activity and the affection of the cameras, whether or not you acquire a headphone jack, whether or not you affliction about the stylus.
KS: Headphone jack. Interesting. I like the bend to edge, and allegedly the iPhone’s activity to acquire that, right?
Yep. One of them.
KS: Allegedly.
Allegedly there’s activity to be updates to the accepted iPhones and afresh there’s activity to be a new adorned air-conditioned iPhone.
KS: Yeah, I’m allegedly activity to get that. What’s that, $3 million?
We’re assured it to alpha at a thousand bucks.
LG: It’s gonna be ... What’s the byword that I anticipate John Gruber acclimated with the watch? “Get out the amazement couch”? Seventeen thousand dollar gold Apple watch. It’s gonna be like that. No, it’s absolutely not, but ...
KS: Ugh. I admiration how abounding people, we should acquisition those people. To see how they feel about their ...
LG: Laurene Powell Jobs was aloof apparent cutting one.
KS: Oh really. She allegedly got it free.
LG: There were pictures of her — I anticipate she was on a vacation or article — in the tabloids and she’s got a gold Apple watch.
KS: She got it free. Don’t you anticipate she got it free?
LG: I anticipate she knew someone.
KS: I anticipate she knows someone.
LG: Peoples.
KS: By the way, anybody amuse go see her ad that she did on DACA.
With Reagan.
LG: Yes, with Ronald Reagan.
KS: She’s absolute clever. She’s done a lot of able things in that brand of protest. Absolute clever.
LG: She has indeed. She’s batten at Code Appointment about it, too.
KS: And she’s got the gold watch. She did. She did. And she has the gold watch, she wasn’t cutting a gold iPhone watch there, was she?
LG: No, she wasn’t. These were like abridged photos and I anticipate it ability acquire been a British publication. You apperceive how the Brits, the tabloids they absolutely get in there.
KS: Anyway, they’ll be cool. Abutting question, Lauren.
LG: Abutting catechism is from Max Buondonno, his handle is @LegendaryScoop. “How appear smartphone manufacturers don’t apprehend their bloatware and junkware situations are so bad?” I anticipate they do apprehend it, I anticipate we all apprehend it, but they abide to do it. Afresh Max retweeted Dan Seifert who tweeted the added day: “The LG V30’s debris bloatware includes lockscreen ads. Awesome to see on a $750 phone.” Acutely Dan was actuality acerb about that. So Dieter, allocution about bloatware.
KS: Crapware.
LG: Kara hates it too.
I anticipate the aftermost time I was on this podcast I brought the angry god of ARPU, boilerplate acquirement per user. They get lots of money. Carriers get lots of money by putting applesauce about these things. So does Samsung. If it can acquire them accomplish an added 5, 10, 15, 50, 100 bucks on a buzz to put a agglomeration of applesauce about there, they’re gonna do it. That’s aloof the continued and the abbreviate of it.
KS: Imagine actuality an ad on a Louis Vuitton bag.
Right?
KS: Anticipate about it.
LG: But it’s the low amount of ... Amazon is additionally affairs appealing bargain Android phones through amazon.com.
KS: I don’t apperception if it’s cheap.
LG: If you alone get them, I anticipate you can get them for $50 to $100, but you’re activity to see Amazon ads on the phone.
KS: But I aloof paid for exceptional Spotify because I was ailing of the ads. That’s how it should go. You pay?
Yeah, the places area you can assurance you’re gonna get a buzz afterwards a ton of crapware are Apple phone, diplomacy a buzz anon from Google, this Capital buzz doesn’t acquire annihilation on it. You sometimes can get advantageous if you buy a buzz apart anon from the manufacturer. You’ll still get some stuff, abnormally from a aggregation like Samsung but it’s usually beneath stuff. If it affairs to you, you do acquire options to abstain it. It’s aloof not as accessible as it should be.
KS: No class.
LG: Mm-hmm.
KS: No class, Samsung, I accord you a aught on that one.
Next question, Daniel Hanna, @DanielHana: “Why not coact on Google on banal apps instead? Complete the abundant hardware, accomplished abutment and reliability.” I anticipate it’s attempt with Google.
Yeah. They approved that once. There acclimated to be this affair alleged Google Comedy Edition of phones. Samsung and HTC both fabricated it. I anticipate they awash absolutely six of them, so they didn’t do it again. That’s affectionate of it. They can’t differentiate enough, there’s not abundant sales channels and Samsung wants bodies to accept that Samsung has a software ecosystem. That’s why they’ve fabricated this Bixby little yappy dog adaptation of an able assistant.
KS: Yappy dog. Bixby is ...
Bixby sounds like a little yappy dog.
KS: Bixby is a British butler. Or a kid that you don’t comedy with. “I don’t appetite to comedy with Bixby.”
“Bixby smells.”
KS: Bixby doesn’t smell, Bixby has added issues but not smell.
If they aloof accomplish a adduce unquote banal Android phone, why would you buy that instead of a Pixel is affectionate of their attitude. They appetite to differentiate. Additionally they didn’t advertise well, so why’d they put in the effort?
LG: Personally, I adulation Samsung Milk.
KS: “Bixby” is allegedly a name that San Francisco parents are gonna like now.
LG: Bixby.
KS: Do not name your adolescent Bixby. Doesn’t it feel like that?
LG: I don’t know. I haven’t apparent those belief yet. Were there belief about bodies allotment their kids Siri afterwards Siri?
KS: No, but Bixby is ...
Did you see the adventure about the woman whose name is absolutely Alexa Siri?
LG: Stop it.
No, she alleged her activity a alive nightmare.
LG: I shouldn’t laugh, I feel bad for this woman. No basic administration in their home.
KS: Okay, explain this tweetstorm we got, Lauren.
LG: Okay, tweetstorm from Samantha Yammine, I’m aloof gonna abridge it here. The aboriginal affair she said is, “Is the Google Pixel 2 activity to acquire fixes to its huge shortcomings that no tech reviewers has alleged it out on yet?” She says the camera on the Google Pixel sucks aback use in Snapchat and Instagram because the camera is software-based and she absolutely beatific us a side-by-side allegory of demography a photo in one of those apps against the congenital Pixel cam and asks, “Which new abatement buzz absolutely has the best camera?”
Okay, so Dieter, what do you anticipate about the Google Pixel as it is now, the camera? How is it activity to improve? Is it activity to improve? And afresh she’s allurement about what the best camera is. We apperceive it’s not Essential. This is a loaded question.
Well, there’s absolutely a lot of absorbing things anchored in those questions. Android has not commonly been as acceptable at cameras as the iPhone up until basically a year and a half, two years ago. A lot of that is, they don’t acquire as deeply chip a software and accouterments band-aid as Apple does.
Relatively recently, Samsung, afresh Google, and LG, all affectionate of ample it out, but that chip band-aid that they ample out doesn’t necessarily administer to added third-party apps like Snapchat. And we all apperceive that, also, a agglomeration of third-party apps like Snapchat pay added absorption to the affection and their achievement on the iPhone afresh they do on Android, alike admitting Android is abundantly a bigger addressable market. There’s aloof added money on the iPhone afresh there is on Android appropriate now, alike admitting there’s millions and millions added Android phones than iPhones.
Wrap all that up and you end up in a bearings area alike admitting you can get a camera on an Android buzz that is as acceptable if not bigger than what you can get on an iPhone, that doesn’t beggarly that the abutment for that camera in third-party software is activity to be as good. That’s aloof the way of the world.
KS: They accomplish aggregate for the iPhone.
What’s the best camera of the fall? I don’t know, allocution to me in backward October afterwards we’ve advised all of them.
KS: They’re all appealing good, though. Boy, they’re all appealing good.
They’re all appealing good.
LG: They’re all accepting appealing good.
At the top end they are.
LG: Can we aloof say, though, that the front-facing cameras should stop actuality so good? We aloof acquire these front-facing cameras area anybody takes selfies and they administer clarify afterwards clarify afterwards clarify to absolutely abate the resolution of the front-facing cameras. We should aloof alpha out with a low-resolution, low-level front-facing camera for vanity’s sake.
You should put a allotment of scotch band over it.
KS: Yeah, put a allotment of scotch band over it. This is a bad idea.
LG: Well, I don’t acquire a Lumee case on like Kara.
KS: I do, it’s a allowance from my friend, Kim Kardashian. A gift.
LG: I know.
KS: I acquire the letter. “Here you go Kara, enjoy.”
LG: I was with accession this weekend who had a Lumee case, accepted application the Lumee case, and absolute aflame by it.
KS: It works. You attending amazing application it. She’s 100 percent correct, you attending 400 times bigger application the Lumee case.
I wouldn’t. The beneath you see, the better.
KS: Well, okay, all right.
LG: See, low-resolution front-facing cameras.

KS: Marco Lodola: “The Note8 almost keeps up with the age-old iPhone Plus, abnormally in video editing. Shouldn’t we delay for the S9?” Marco is anxious about that.
I don’t know, if you anticipate the S9 is activity to magically change all problems of Android, afresh abiding go advanced and wait. But if you’re gonna delay for article hardly bigger in the future, afresh you’re never activity to buy a phone. Aback you allegation a phone, you’ll get a buzz — unless it is July, August or September, afresh you should delay till the new phones appear out.
LG: All right. Why delay until it’s activity to be March, April 2018? Marco, alive your activity now. Alive activity for today.
KS: Pay accession thousand in three months.
LG: We don’t apperceive what will happen. Who knows?
All right, abutting catechism is from @zduboss, who asks, “How’s the pen on the Note8? I adulation to blow and this sounds like a abundant adaptable sketchpad.” I anticipate a acceptable way to abode this is not alone how’s the pen — because you talked about it a little bit beforehand — but is the pen bigger than beforehand styluses.
It’s waterproof now.
LG: So that’s good.
They added added levels of acuteness compared to the Note5, but it’s the aforementioned as the Note6. I’ve begin that the pen feel aback you’re autograph on the awning is hardly bigger than it was on antecedent Notes. It didn’t absolutely coast absolutely as slickly. There’s a little bit added absorption there.
KS: How about accident the pen? Is there anymore ...
Yeah, you’re on your own there.
KS: Yeah.
LG: Yeah. Or putting it in the amiss way, too, that was a affair for a while area bodies would put it ...
KS: That was a affair area bodies would put it in and it would breach or get bent in there. That’s not a affair now. It’s accomplished now.
LG: Honestly, there’s a congenital atom for the pen, if you lose it. It’s not like the iPad pen, pencil, whatever, you lose it. Well, there’s annihilation alluring befitting it to the capital device. This is ... literally, it has a aperture for you.
It’s got a silo.
LG: Silo, that’s not what I was, sleeve.
KS: Sleeve.
All right, aftermost catechism from this guy, he’s retired and is such a affliction in the ass, annihilation to do but smoke cigars and accelerate us abhorrent notes. Actuality we go. @WaltMossberg.
Who’s that?
KS: I don’t know, he was a ancient tech analyst I anticipate at some point of some note. All right: “Dear @baclon.” He can’t alike abode you by your abounding name.
That is my name.
KS: I know, I get that, but still. He could acquire said, “Hello Dieter, how are you doing?”
“Why are none of the new abatement smartphones application webOS? Amuse explain in detail why it would be bigger if they did. Thanks.” He’s trolling you.
Yeah. I acquire an answer, Walt. It’s because activity is suffering.
KS: No, it’s @WaltMossberg. Why aren’t they accomplishing this?
Life is affliction and annihilation will anytime be good. That’s why.
LG: What would a webOS buzz attending like today?
Man, I don’t know. It would be weird. HP would spiral it up inevitably. The architecture and administration they were activity for was added angled. There was lots of funny, weird, aciculate corners and stuff, but they allegedly would acquire abashed abroad from that afresh by now. I anticipate it would basically attending like a Zune.
KS: Zunes.
Probably aloof go aback to Zune.
KS: Those were the days, my friend. I acquire one of those somewhere. Do you acquire yours?
I don’t acquire mine.
LG: Should acquire never befuddled it out.
Did you acquire the amber one?
KS: I had the amber one.
It’s the best one.
KS: Yeah, it’s the best one. Every time I attending at it, I accessible a box and there it is and I’m like [laughs] afresh I abutting the box. It’s abutting to the Palm Pilot, abutting to one of the BlackBerrys. I don’t know, they’re all in there.
LG: I acquire a lot of old BlackBerrys, I’m not abiding I had a Palm Pilot. I anticipate I acquire a Palm Pilot somewhere.
Before we let you go, accord us a quick examination of what we can apprehend abutting anniversary at the Apple accident because that’s what we’re activity to be talking about on abutting week’s podcast.
Yeah. Like I said earlier, I anticipate three models of iPhone updates for the 7 and 7 Additional will be updates.
KS: Apperception blowing!
Mind blowing. I don’t know, I anticipate they’ll acquire some abundant cameras that will assignment absolutely able-bodied with the ARKit.
KS: Who’s the celebrity?
Who’s the celebrity? Oh man.
LG: I don’t know. Who’s activity to comedy the event? It’s in the new Steve Jobs Theater, which is on the new campus, which absolute few bodies acquire been to. It’s a new auditorium, which I accept is based on attic diplomacy that we’ve apparent is absolutely underground.
