[542.56 --> 544.86] The second Razer phone has been confirmed.
[545.10 --> 545.64] There was a...
[546.42 --> 547.24] What is it called?
[547.52 --> 549.32] Is it even in these notes?
[550.38 --> 550.94] Yes.
[551.08 --> 555.32] There was a financial report, which is often where we find these types of leaks,
[555.32 --> 561.96] stating that Razer will be launching a Razer Phone 2 or whatever you end up calling it.
[561.96 --> 568.36] They have been slashing prices on their first-gen phone, probably trying to get some of that inventory out.
[568.82 --> 571.72] The phone should be relatively powerful.
[572.86 --> 575.36] Like the first-gen phone, it will have 8 gigs of RAM.
[575.74 --> 578.76] So the first Razer Phone had 8 gigs of RAM.
[578.76 --> 585.60] The SoC, or System on a Chip, is getting an upgrade to the flagship Snapdragon 845 from Qualcomm.
[586.16 --> 589.90] And it'll go from 4 cores to 8, which is actually pretty major.
[590.38 --> 597.84] The phone appeared on Geekbench with a single score of 2026 and a multi-core score of 8234.
[598.12 --> 604.56] Better than the first-gen model, but not as high as flagships such as the iPhone X and the Samsung S9.
[604.56 --> 612.36] There may be more, apparently, there may be more gamer-centric features, such as a fast display,
[612.56 --> 617.02] that may help to appeal to a more gamer-centric target audience.
[617.16 --> 621.00] This is where my question for you guys lands.
[622.46 --> 632.84] I know the gamer section as a whole, console and PC, are able to come together on the one idea that mobile gamers aren't gamers.
[634.56 --> 635.80] But I have a legitimate question.
[636.62 --> 638.00] And I need some help on this.
[639.52 --> 641.30] Let's avoid the saltiness for a moment.
[642.00 --> 643.44] I legitimately don't know.
[643.44 --> 647.32] Is there any mobile games that will actually benefit from a 120Hz screen?
[650.02 --> 651.34] I really don't know.
[653.62 --> 658.18] Because the only mobile games that I've ever really even seen are like,
[658.18 --> 662.98] either Pokemon Go, where you like swirl around and then just throw the thing,
[663.06 --> 665.22] and then everything else happens kind of automatically,
[665.40 --> 667.72] and you definitely don't need a 120Hz screen for that.
[668.06 --> 671.92] Or it's like clicker simulators, where it's like,
[671.98 --> 675.98] oh, you've waited 16 hours, press that button now,
[676.12 --> 678.54] and then press that button, and then wait 16 hours again,
[678.64 --> 680.32] or pay some money and have it accelerated.
[680.70 --> 682.42] I don't know of Fortnite.
[683.30 --> 684.74] Sort of forgot about that.
[684.74 --> 687.76] Okay, so it's basically for Fortnite and PUBG.
[690.02 --> 691.28] I guess that's pretty much it.
[691.88 --> 692.28] VR.
[693.78 --> 694.20] Okay.
[696.86 --> 699.20] VR on mobile really sucks, but whatever.
[699.64 --> 700.70] Okay, that's a good point.
[702.30 --> 707.66] And 120Hz screens becoming common for mobile will help push VR forward.
[708.22 --> 709.92] Someone's like, and Candy Crush!
[709.92 --> 713.50] Oh my goodness.
[713.80 --> 719.54] Okay, so it's probably mostly Fortnite, PUBG, and VR is a really small section.
[719.72 --> 721.06] But sure, VR.
[723.04 --> 724.06] People are saying prawn.
[724.20 --> 727.32] I don't know if anyone's into 120Hz on that.
[727.50 --> 728.00] It might be.
[728.42 --> 729.22] I don't know.
[729.22 --> 731.52] It does.
[731.62 --> 735.36] That is a very technologically pushing sector of the market.
[735.54 --> 736.62] That is absolutely true.
[736.76 --> 737.56] That is a thing.
[738.42 --> 740.06] Porn pushes the market like crazy.
[740.32 --> 745.70] But I don't think there's a huge market for 120Hz phones just for that.
[745.92 --> 747.02] I could be super wrong.
[747.24 --> 747.88] I don't know.
[748.36 --> 749.32] I'm just saying.
[750.26 --> 753.58] Speaking of what I was just talking about,
[754.02 --> 757.70] Steam is adding filters to hide certain games in search.
[757.70 --> 760.40] You guys might have known a while ago, we talked on the WAN show,
[760.80 --> 762.60] about Steam.
[763.00 --> 766.90] They blocked some game, and then that started this huge conversation
[766.90 --> 770.46] about what stuff should be or should not be allowed on Steam.
[770.86 --> 775.28] And I think that pushed Steam to eventually say that they would pretty much allow
[775.28 --> 777.12] everything that wasn't illegal.
[777.58 --> 779.98] I think that was their official ending statement.
[779.98 --> 783.48] But they would not be obligated to promote such things.
[783.48 --> 788.26] And I think they're going more in that direction by allowing people to have filters.
[788.38 --> 791.64] And I'm assuming there's going to be some form of default filters that you would have
[791.64 --> 792.32] to uncheck.
[792.92 --> 797.72] This would allow controversial titles to be on the platform, such as adult games,
[797.90 --> 801.58] but make it so they don't automatically get promoted to everybody.
[802.14 --> 805.86] Users also have flexibility to hide things they don't want in general.
[805.86 --> 812.46] So if you didn't want, like, racing games, you could use the same filter to filter out those games,
[812.52 --> 813.14] which would be cool.
[813.86 --> 815.60] I personally like racing games.
[815.64 --> 816.08] I'm just saying.
[816.28 --> 817.48] I'm just saying.
[818.00 --> 821.34] Users now will be able to list 10 tags, up from three.
[821.50 --> 825.70] Apparently, you're already able to do three, of things that they do not want to see.
[826.52 --> 831.22] Gamers now have the choice of omitting certain developers and publishers specifically.
[831.22 --> 836.50] So if you have, like, a boycott against a specific publisher, sorry, EA is not on Steam,
[836.82 --> 843.62] you would be able to block them out completely, as well as excluding mature content, adults-only
[843.62 --> 844.62] kind of games.
[844.84 --> 849.70] The former will exclude games where the publisher hasn't told Steam exactly what that mature content
[849.70 --> 853.52] is, because I guess there's categories for that too.
[853.98 --> 856.52] But I'm assuming that's more for a search reason.
[857.26 --> 857.82] I don't know.
[857.82 --> 862.32] The idea is to balance keeping Steam an open platform where a lot of different people can
[862.32 --> 866.32] use it and it doesn't feel weird and you can actually have your, like, Steam store up on
[866.32 --> 869.34] your desktop without, like, worrying if your mom's going to be able to see it.
[869.82 --> 877.46] But also be able to have all these games that people apparently want on Steam.
[878.98 --> 879.42] Yeah.
[880.26 --> 882.00] What do you guys think about this solution?
[882.12 --> 883.80] I think it's a relatively good solution.
[884.12 --> 885.82] I don't care about those kinds of games.
[885.82 --> 890.66] So I'll just leave the filter on, I guess, so that those types of games are blocked.
[891.00 --> 893.98] Literally just so that they don't clutter up the store.
