[895.42 --> 897.10] seeing battery degradation.
[897.10 --> 900.62] And that's only because I've been on iPhone for the longest time now, it's because it's super simple
[900.62 --> 905.34] and that's only because it's not easy to service battery swaps, you know, for an average end user.
[905.74 --> 911.42] I think that design kind of peaked around probably the Galaxy S3 because removable battery,
[911.42 --> 914.78] upgradable storage and it still had a plastic back.
[914.78 --> 915.58] Yeah.
[915.58 --> 919.18] And there were cases for it that you could replace the back, like you could take the back off
[919.18 --> 921.26] and have like a leather back if you wanted.
[921.26 --> 925.34] Well, when I was still working in IT, we had an entire fleet of S3s out there and you could
[925.34 --> 927.50] do the extended battery with the extended back cover.
[927.50 --> 927.90] Oh, yeah.
[927.90 --> 929.18] You know, we were sending those out into the field.
[929.18 --> 929.74] Yeah.
[929.74 --> 931.58] I don't know why that went out of vogue.
[931.58 --> 934.62] Yeah, a lot of people said, well, the battery life on modern phones is good enough that you
[934.62 --> 937.18] don't need a second battery to get through the day but that totally ignores the fact that...
[937.18 --> 937.90] They're not me.
[937.90 --> 938.62] Yeah, after...
[938.62 --> 939.50] It's not even that.
[939.50 --> 943.58] That's not even the issue so much as it is one year or two years later when it barely has any battery
[943.58 --> 943.98] life.
[943.98 --> 944.54] I want this.
[944.54 --> 946.22] I'm going to keep this thing for longer than two years.
[946.22 --> 947.42] Let's talk the battery out.
[947.42 --> 948.94] I don't see no reason to buy it.
[948.94 --> 951.98] And I think more people would buy it if you actually advertise that.
[951.98 --> 954.94] And I haven't seen anybody advertise longevity as a feature.
[954.94 --> 955.50] No.
[955.50 --> 956.22] But it could be.
[956.22 --> 962.86] One thing, in Twitch chat, I posted a poll because I'm interested on the exact percentages,
[962.86 --> 967.74] at least for our audience, which is a terrible section if we want to be scientific, but whatever.
[967.74 --> 971.58] I want to see the exact percentages of people that care about ultra-thin bezels.
[971.58 --> 973.34] So check straw poll in the chat.
[973.34 --> 978.46] And S3 specifically, I have one interesting story with that that ties into what you're
[978.46 --> 980.30] talking about with it should be able to fall, right?
[981.02 --> 986.14] I was at university and I was late for class so I was sprinting and I ran down a huge set
[986.14 --> 990.70] of steps and I had too much momentum and there was one of those like poles that stop cars from
[990.70 --> 991.34] going into areas.
[991.34 --> 991.50] Yeah.
[991.50 --> 996.30] So I decided I'll just hop over it and I jump and I remember that my, as I'm mid-air, remember
[996.30 --> 999.18] that my phone is in my sweater pocket, not in my jeans pocket.
[999.18 --> 1003.90] It goes flying, smacks into the ground, the battery goes one way, the bat goes the other way,
[1003.90 --> 1005.82] the rest of the phone goes the other way.
[1005.82 --> 1009.02] Tiny chip in the corner, put everything back together, turn it back on, works perfectly.
[1009.02 --> 1009.82] What phone was that?
[1009.82 --> 1010.86] S3 Galaxy S3.
[1010.86 --> 1012.06] That was a hard phone to break.
[1012.06 --> 1012.46] Yeah.
[1012.46 --> 1017.50] And like I think one of the things that actually helps is that it kind of explodes and it like,
[1017.50 --> 1021.58] I can't remember the correct terminology for it, but the force of the impact goes with
[1021.58 --> 1023.26] each part and lets it blow out.
[1023.26 --> 1023.42] Yeah.
[1023.42 --> 1026.38] Was the PS3 one of the earlier Gorilla Glass phones?
[1026.38 --> 1027.18] Yeah.
[1027.18 --> 1027.58] Yeah.
[1027.58 --> 1027.74] Yeah.
[1027.74 --> 1028.14] Yeah.
[1028.14 --> 1029.58] When that actually meant something.
[1029.58 --> 1030.06] Yeah.
[1030.06 --> 1033.26] Before they kept making the Gorilla Glass thinner which then just made it as brittle as anything
[1033.26 --> 1033.66] else.
[1033.66 --> 1033.90] Yeah.
[1033.90 --> 1034.46] Yeah.
[1034.46 --> 1039.18] Well, with the G5 where it's got the replaceable battery and still kind of modern, I've replaced
[1039.18 --> 1040.46] the battery in it twice.
[1040.46 --> 1040.94] 78%.
[1040.94 --> 1041.02] Yeah.
[1041.02 --> 1045.18] I mean, it was basically launch day phone and you just slide it out and slide a new battery in.
[1045.18 --> 1046.38] It's eight bucks from China.
[1046.38 --> 1046.78] Yeah.
[1046.78 --> 1047.18] Yeah.
[1047.18 --> 1048.14] That's the other thing.
[1048.14 --> 1050.94] You can get those batteries so cheap if you buy them third party.
[1050.94 --> 1055.98] So the poll results for people that didn't click on results when they ended is about 78%
[1055.98 --> 1062.78] of people do not care about ultra thin bezels and 28, well I guess, yeah, 22% of people do.
[1062.78 --> 1065.74] That's the audience of people watching a tech review channel.
[1065.74 --> 1065.90] Yeah.
[1065.90 --> 1066.94] Yeah.
[1066.94 --> 1070.54] So it's skewed, but I don't necessarily know in what direction.
[1070.54 --> 1072.86] It's still, it's such a high percentage that like-
[1072.86 --> 1073.50] We've seen it though.
[1073.50 --> 1074.54] We've seen these early polls.
[1074.54 --> 1078.14] You let them go for five minutes or five days.
[1078.14 --> 1080.38] It tends to whatever, like the first few minutes ratio of the seat, it just goes.
[1080.38 --> 1081.34] It won't change a ton.
[1081.34 --> 1081.90] Yeah.
[1081.90 --> 1083.42] It'll generally stay there.
[1083.42 --> 1083.82] Yeah.
[1083.82 --> 1084.38] Yeah.
[1084.38 --> 1084.78] Yeah.
[1084.78 --> 1089.98] So like I, and well the thing is if you expose that poll to a much different audience, it
[1089.98 --> 1093.10] might shift it a bit more, but I kind of doubt it.
[1093.10 --> 1096.70] I have had a similar experience, I'm sure you've talked to more people about it, but I've had
[1096.70 --> 1098.70] a similar experience talking to just friends and family.
[1098.70 --> 1099.10] Yeah.
[1099.10 --> 1100.54] Like what would you want in a phone?
[1100.54 --> 1104.46] I remember reading so many phone reviews for this and I saw one Eli the Computer Guy clip
[1104.46 --> 1109.34] of a video very, you know, with his $500 camera pointing at it saying, this is me loading Google
[1109.34 --> 1109.98] Maps.
[1109.98 --> 1110.70] This is it not lagging.
