[3571.64 --> 3576.64] And phones, the only reason I'm not super into phones, the only reason is because most
[3576.64 --> 3577.64] of them are trash.
[3577.64 --> 3579.64] That's a strong statement.
[3579.64 --> 3580.64] It's true though.
[3580.64 --> 3583.64] Like, there's so many that have glaring issues.
[3583.64 --> 3586.64] That you, like, know someone must have figured out.
[3586.64 --> 3590.64] And then the Droid Turbo is just not coming to Canada at all.
[3590.64 --> 3591.64] Is that right?
[3591.64 --> 3592.64] In no form.
[3592.64 --> 3596.64] My brother tweeted them and asked and they were like, no, the Droid Turbo or Variation
[3596.64 --> 3599.64] Max are not coming to Canada officially from Motorola.
[3599.64 --> 3600.64] Oh, that's a bummer.
[3600.64 --> 3601.64] So like, awesome.
[3601.64 --> 3602.64] What the hell?
[3602.64 --> 3604.64] The one phone that's like, that's super cool.
[3604.64 --> 3605.64] Nope.
[3605.64 --> 3606.64] God.
[3606.64 --> 3608.64] Wow, that's really sucky.
[3608.64 --> 3610.64] I mean, it's not going to happen with Tegra K1.
[3610.64 --> 3615.64] Because Tegra K1's power consumption is just straight up too high.
[3615.64 --> 3621.64] But if Tegra K2, or whatever they end up calling it, came to a phone, would you consider it?
[3621.64 --> 3622.64] I mean, they're not that far away.
[3622.64 --> 3625.64] They've already got the tablet 32 gig, which has LTE.
[3625.64 --> 3630.64] And they did acquire that LTE radio technology maker not that long ago.
[3630.64 --> 3632.64] So they can build their own radios.
[3632.64 --> 3634.64] I don't think it's that difficult to...
[3634.64 --> 3636.64] I don't think it's that difficult to...
[3636.64 --> 3637.64] I'd be really interested.
[3637.64 --> 3638.64] I would check it out.
[3638.64 --> 3639.64] I'd want to check it out for sure.
[3639.64 --> 3640.64] I would definitely want to check it out.
[3640.64 --> 3651.64] If they got the battery capacity right, and they had a not trash camera, I would be definitely confident enough in the rest of the phone to be like, alright, let's do this.
[3651.64 --> 3655.64] NVIDIA is one of those companies where I think the camera could go one of two ways.
[3655.64 --> 3658.64] They could either have a bunch of knowledge from...
[3658.64 --> 3660.64] Because they know a lot about image processing.
[3660.64 --> 3661.64] Yeah, that's interesting.
[3661.64 --> 3666.64] It's not like they don't have experience when it comes to image filtering to make things look better.
[3666.64 --> 3669.64] This is NVIDIA's friggin' wheelhouse here.
[3669.64 --> 3670.64] Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[3670.64 --> 3674.64] But that doesn't necessarily mean they know that much about sensor technology.
[3674.64 --> 3679.64] So I don't know which way the camera would go, and that's a huge part of any smartphone purchase.
[3679.64 --> 3691.64] One thing just to note is that right now the 32 gig version of the Shield tablet, NVIDIA's on fire with this announcement here, comes with Portal, Half-Life 2, and Half-Life 2 Episode 1.
[3691.64 --> 3692.64] Holy crap.
[3692.64 --> 3696.64] Android versions, if you jump up to that one, in addition to the grid thing.
[3696.64 --> 3699.64] And those are all pretty good to play on that device as well, actually.
[3699.64 --> 3700.64] Especially Portal.
[3700.64 --> 3701.64] Portal's really good on this.
[3701.64 --> 3702.64] I play Portal on the Shield Portal.
[3702.64 --> 3703.64] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[3703.64 --> 3708.64] And Shield Portable is getting Lollipop support, but we don't have an ETA for that yet.
[3708.64 --> 3710.64] So I'll have to wait, because I don't really use my Shield tablet much.
[3710.64 --> 3711.64] I mostly use my portable.
[3711.64 --> 3712.64] Yeah.
[3712.64 --> 3713.64] All right.
[3713.64 --> 3714.64] Other NVIDIA news.
[3714.64 --> 3717.64] This was posted by Big Strooms on the forum.
[3717.64 --> 3719.64] The original article is from techreport.com.
[3719.64 --> 3728.64] The GTX 960 has been found in an India import and export label data or something.
[3728.64 --> 3737.64] The record states, 4GB of GDDR5, a 256-bit bus, 993MHz core, and 6,008MHz memory.
[3737.64 --> 3741.64] It's unclear whether that is a base or a boost clock speed.
[3741.64 --> 3747.64] And the price translates to around 256 US dollars, although we don't know if that will be a retail price,
[3747.64 --> 3754.64] or if that's like an NVIDIA to their board partner price, or a board partner to retailer price, or just an invented motor.
[3754.64 --> 3759.64] Or if they're going to flip it 18 times three days before it's out, because they kind of do that sometimes.
[3759.64 --> 3761.64] Because they do do that sometimes.
[3761.64 --> 3767.64] The speculation on the internet right now is that this is going to be a GK104-based card.
[3767.64 --> 3775.64] So actually the same chip as the 980 and 970, just like we saw with the 680, 670, and 660 Ti.
[3775.64 --> 3779.64] We should probably do our sponsor spots actually.
[3779.64 --> 3783.64] So we're going to start with the one that I hopefully label, yay!
[3783.64 --> 3784.64] Fandom Glass!
[3784.64 --> 3786.64] So Fandom Glass, we love these guys.
[3786.64 --> 3790.64] For any of the viewers who have watched before, you know what?
[3790.64 --> 3793.64] The sales pitch for Phantom Glass doesn't really change.
[3793.64 --> 3796.64] So I do find myself repeating myself a fair bit.
[3796.64 --> 3798.64] But it doesn't need to change.
[3798.64 --> 3800.64] Because it's good enough as it is.
[3800.64 --> 3806.64] The only reason that we started working with these guys was that, and it's just kind of a funny story.
[3806.64 --> 3810.64] The only reason I reviewed the product at all was because the guy was Canadian.
[3810.64 --> 3818.64] Because normally screen protectors, I don't, we've only done two screen protector videos in the entire time Linus Tech Tips has existed.
[3818.64 --> 3822.64] And they've both been like, very oddly innovative.
[3822.64 --> 3826.64] Yes, some kind of real, actual, important thing that happened with them.
[3826.64 --> 3830.64] So the only reason I would even listen to him was he was Canadian.
[3830.64 --> 3834.64] And then the only reason I wanted a review unit was because I was like,
[3834.64 --> 3839.64] Okay, if this does what you say it does, I will like it.
[3839.64 --> 3843.64] But if it doesn't do what you say it does, then I'm going to throw it in the garbage and never talk about it again.
[3843.64 --> 3845.64] And he was like, okay, okay, okay.
[3845.64 --> 3847.64] Sent over the review unit.
[3847.64 --> 3851.64] And then the reason that we're doing advertising with them is because it's friggin' awesome.
[3851.64 --> 3857.64] Basically, it's a sheet of Gorilla Glass 3 that sits over top of the existing pane of glass on your phone.
[3857.64 --> 3866.64] So if you already liked any kind of the, you know, the glare, clarity, touch, feel characteristics of your phone screen,
[3866.64 --> 3868.64] it will be exactly the same.
[3868.64 --> 3873.64] It does add a little bit of thickness to the front of the phone, but it's still compatible with other third-party cases.
[3873.64 --> 3879.64] And it has this, like, nano coating on the bottom of it that actually works.
[3879.64 --> 3881.64] Like, it actually does what they say it does.
[3881.64 --> 3885.64] It's, I think you'd have to work pretty hard to try to get a bubble under phantom glass.
[3885.64 --> 3892.64] And if you apply it wrong, you can just pull it up, reapply it, I've actually done it, and it goes on perfectly second time around.
[3892.64 --> 3893.64] So, pretty cool.
[3893.64 --> 3898.64] I mean, it's, given that it's kind of expensive, it's nice to be able to reuse it,
[3898.64 --> 3900.64] because I actually had to RMA my HTC 1 and 8.
[3900.64 --> 3901.64] So I had to pull my phantom glass off.
[3901.64 --> 3903.64] Yeah, you peeled it.
