[365.06 --> 372.98] that works out to 17 foot we actually purchased yes we bought it we purchased I had no idea we spent
[372.98 --> 380.32] 200 of linus media group's hard-earned money so everyone's sending super chats today um you guys
[380.32 --> 386.74] are are making up for the gigantic inflatable projector screen that we bought apparently
[386.74 --> 395.98] um well not yet not making up for it yet um yeah we got we got we got a $10 super chat thank you thank
[395.98 --> 402.18] you for that uh hellcat thank you hellcat uh oh right we should probably get into like some topics for the
[402.18 --> 406.62] day uh we got a lot of great topics for you guys there was the made by google hardware event
[406.62 --> 413.78] there was also the made by razor hardware event um I I actually have my hands on the pixel 3
[413.78 --> 419.76] boom right there uh the pixel 3 xl uh I've actually been spending most of my time with the xl so far
[419.76 --> 423.98] and I'm gonna go back to it I'm just I'm having a weird issue with it where it's not getting hangouts
[423.98 --> 429.12] notifications so I popped my sim in this one so that I could see if it was just isolated to that
[429.12 --> 434.64] other unit and it does appear to be isolated to the other unit so I'm gonna have to figure out what
[434.64 --> 438.50] the crap is going on maybe just reformat and see what happens yeah not only do I not get a
[438.50 --> 446.42] notification but if I open up I unlock the phone open the hangouts app I still won't get a notification
[446.42 --> 452.80] until I happen to open a conversation thread with a person who sent me a message in the time since I
[452.80 --> 457.72] got my last notification and then it will spam me with every hangouts notification I got from anyone
[457.72 --> 463.74] else in the meantime oh geez yeah it's like hilariously broken oh yeah never seen anything
[463.74 --> 470.50] quite like it yeah I'm trying to refrain I'm so interested because this is gen one and is starting
[470.50 --> 478.82] to really show its age and I'm in like looking for a new phone territory um but that one's really small
[478.82 --> 485.80] and the other one's notch is very ugly yeah it's like shock do you remember not that long ago yeah we
[485.80 --> 492.40] had a poll about like what influences your smartphone purchasing decisions right no I don't remember
[492.40 --> 498.22] but go ahead we had one on when we had a straw poll and like we we talked about how like yeah probably
[498.22 --> 504.04] more people have have design influences than they realize and just yet a lot of phones just look really
[504.04 --> 508.96] similar so it's not a big deal blah blah blah I didn't realize how much that notch might influence me
[508.96 --> 516.44] wow there's a picture Yvonne posted on Twitter yeah you and Yvonne on the couch the notch from far
[516.44 --> 525.22] away is really obvious what the heck and like pull that out I've seen I've seen an iPhone XS and it's
[525.22 --> 531.06] notch and it's doesn't seem that annoying to me but this like giant I call it a fedora on Twitter this
[531.06 --> 537.38] giant blocky thing in the middle of your phone is just so weird yeah you can see it from here
[537.38 --> 545.64] there we go what the heck yeah so that's us on the couch and that's the notch on my phone
[545.64 --> 554.46] like it looks like there's a huge dent in the top of your phone yeah wow yeah I don't know that's
[554.46 --> 561.38] kind of that's a lot like I don't know have you seen the pictures of the notch delete um where they
[561.38 --> 565.98] black out the notch area and then they put your notification and stuff on just a black bar so it looks
[565.98 --> 570.40] like there's no notch because there's just a big black bar no I haven't seen that yeah but between
[570.40 --> 577.26] that and the gigantic chin bar that they're only sort of gesture based navigation gives you it feels
[577.26 --> 584.84] like going back to like an HTC One M7 yeah honestly like in terms of the forehead and like chin experience
[584.84 --> 589.84] that I'm having using that phone so what what I know your reviews not for a bit and you always like
[589.84 --> 596.70] spending more time with phones but if you had to give like a short-term preliminary opinions um
[596.70 --> 602.32] hold on a second I actually didn't watch their keynote yet I'll like watch it later okay um so I
[602.32 --> 610.18] don't know the price how much is the pixel 3x I believe it's 102 less than the iPhone um holy crap
[610.18 --> 615.16] so it's Canadian oh that's Canadian okay so hold on a minute so what like $7.99 or something I believe
[615.16 --> 621.24] is $7.99 okay I'm just gonna change this uh Americans we were supposed to be going through
[621.24 --> 626.74] the topics for this today but I guess we're just getting a little bit sidetracked here uh phones
[626.74 --> 640.60] oh and that's probably for 64 gig okay so here we go so $7.99 um yeah so um ah it's hard because
[640.60 --> 651.28] yeah it's really early on it's uh here I always I always lose track of pricing um because I'm Canadian
[651.28 --> 657.94] and so I I buy things in Canadian rupees but then I I try to speak in American dollars because the
[657.94 --> 666.26] majority of our viewers are American um so I I always forget when I'm comparing pricing um yeah yeah I
[666.26 --> 671.06] actually know that's true not the majority of our viewers are American we actually have a ton from
[671.06 --> 678.60] the UK now yeah that really took off in the last like couple of years um here we go all right so I'm
[678.60 --> 682.30] just finding out how much a Note 9 is brand new yes remember my choice how many times do I have to
[682.30 --> 688.98] tell it yeah that's a lot of clicks to figure this out yeah it's a really bad experience okay so $9.99
[688.98 --> 695.98] so it's a $200 difference to a Note 9 if Samsung had a commitment to support their devices with timely
[695.98 --> 703.66] updates for three to four years like Apple does yeah then my answer would be very simple buy a Note 9
[703.66 --> 716.80] or failing that an S9 plus um because I just yeah I just don't I don't know and there's other wild
[716.80 --> 724.62] cards in there right now too so I actually have the Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL um normally these days I
[724.62 --> 731.30] review the the the the mini and the max version of phones together I've been doing it for that way for I
[731.30 --> 736.54] think a couple years now yeah um but I'm reviewing these two separately oh because they are completely
[736.54 --> 743.58] different phones just like the Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL were in the sense that like every phone is very
[743.58 --> 750.22] samey these days these two are as different from each other as any other phone is from any other phone as far as
[750.22 --> 756.36] I'm concerned in terms of their design in terms of the the experience of using them they have things
[756.36 --> 762.80] in common but in that same way an iPhone and other more different iPhone have a lot of things in common
[762.80 --> 767.76] but they're different phones just to be clear all of the hardware is the same right I'm pretty sure all
[767.76 --> 771.60] the cameras are the same I think the CPU is the same I think the RAM is the same as far as I know but
[771.60 --> 776.50] what I don't know based on because I haven't tested it yet is based on the size of the chassis I don't
[776.50 --> 780.48] know if the performance is going to be the same especially in things like gaming because of
[780.48 --> 785.48] thermals okay and you know modern modern devices a battery is another big one and modern devices are
[785.48 --> 790.36] designed to thermal throttle basically it's just a matter of what the manufacturer's tolerance was
[790.36 --> 795.60] for how much thermal throttling they want when they want it to kick in how they're balancing uh surface skin
[795.60 --> 801.16] temperatures versus the temperatures of the processors inside like they're really different devices so
[801.16 --> 808.98] pixel 3 pixel 3 excel razor gaming phone 2 asus rog phone yeah the poco phone f1 that's just off the
[808.98 --> 813.58] top of my head those are the phone reviews that I still have to work on right now so I I have a lot
[813.58 --> 818.50] of work to do and the poco phone f1 is a really interesting one because that one's only 299
[818.50 --> 827.16] and while the custom rom sort of scene has kind of died down a little bit since um since samsung in
[827.16 --> 833.50] particular fixed touch whiz with the move to samsung experience yeah um it's kind of popping up again
[833.50 --> 840.38] around that phone oh yeah the oneplus 6t is coming um isn't there a company that essentially it's not
[840.38 --> 844.58] called cyanogen anymore but isn't there a company that picked up the cyanogen project that I'm not
[844.58 --> 848.80] sure I heard about this I'm just not yeah I'm not sure about that one but I'm not worried about that
[848.80 --> 854.24] anyway the poco phone f1 um the community is kind of springing up around that phone because the skin on it
[854.24 --> 859.46] is terrible like I have the same kinds of issues that I did the last time I reviewed a xiaomi phone
[859.46 --> 866.76] like they're just not well optimized for the north american user period and much worse things than
[866.76 --> 871.78] just like you have to install netflix manually using an apk rather than through the play store like
[871.78 --> 874.64] it'll just be like it's not compatible with your device and you go what what do you mean it's not
[874.64 --> 879.06] compatible with my device it's ridiculous of course it is it's snapdragon 845 it's the same damn phone as
[879.06 --> 886.60] every other phone it's just with a different you know shiny face on the front um so so where was I
[886.60 --> 892.40] going with this right so because the software experience is so bad but the hardware is like
[892.40 --> 899.44] banging for the price it is similar hardware to a top tier samsung or top tier google phone
[899.44 --> 905.88] except a crappier camera right for 300 and the reality of it is not everybody cares about their
[905.88 --> 911.60] smartphone's camera that much yeah so it's very compelling so anyway that's a video that I've been
[911.60 --> 919.68] kind of been working on for a while but I've decided not to review with the stock skin so I have never
[919.68 --> 928.54] done that before I actually intended with the mi mix interesting to s I think it was uh I think it was
[928.54 --> 935.28] the mi mix 2 it was it was one of them it was a xiaomi phone but I had intended to go ahead because I got
[935.28 --> 941.70] like a a chinese version of it and I had wanted to install like uh um like a more stock android
[941.70 --> 946.34] experience type rom like I had wanted to go through the whole like unlocking the bootloader maybe it
[946.34 --> 950.26] wasn't stock android experience maybe I just had had bought a chinese one and then I wanted to put a
[950.26 --> 955.20] us rom on it and that wasn't supported yet but then while I was in the process of working on all this
[955.20 --> 960.26] nonsense they released a us or like a global version of it and I was like okay well that work was all for
[960.26 --> 971.00] nothing anyway um so I have never actually gone to the lengths that of of installing a different
[971.00 --> 979.10] skin like a different rom on a phone prior to reviewing it but for me the Pocophone f1 is a unique
[979.10 --> 984.94] sounds yeah case yeah because it's unusable with the stock skin in my opinion and if you can add
[984.94 --> 992.18] a very significant amount of value yes that makes like to the point where people should be doing
[992.18 --> 997.68] that if they buy this device I think of any kind of mod as how much I'm paying myself to do the work
[997.68 --> 1006.36] yeah and if I'm paying myself three dollars an hour to install like to to you know hack a game console or
