people of the internet welcome back to another episode of the waveform podcast we're your hosts I'm Marquez I'm Andrew
00:00:12
and I'm David all three of us are here today to talk about Google's pixel event
00:00:17
they've got a whole bunch of stuff that we kind of already saw coming but now we get final confirmation of when we get to
00:00:22
talk about how we feel about it also uh in case you can't see I am wearing the
00:00:27
new waveform T-shirt shop Diamond kbhd.com this is uh we've kind of had
00:00:33
this in the works for a while you've seen it back here but now you can get it here in case it's interesting and David's also wearing the uh more
00:00:40
tessellation pattern together Marquez and I equal the background we are this
00:00:46
this is the updated logo this is the kind of like our sound panel awesome
00:00:52
like tessellation like you said we also have a mug by the way which is this is a two coffee kind of day sneaky Pockets I
00:00:59
just moved into a new apartment and you better bet all my mugs are way for me
00:01:04
mugs all three of us hey man so we're gonna get to all that stuff in this
00:01:10
episode but first I just wanted to point out that you're welcome we can edit tweets now
00:01:17
now there's a couple asterisks to that I'll just I'll break down what that exactly means so it's been in the works
00:01:24
for a while we knew Twitter was going to have an edit tweet button I don't know how many years I've asked for this it's
00:01:30
a very simple thing to do Instagram as editing Facebook has editing we can edit on everything except Twitter right okay
00:01:36
so it's rolling out to Twitter blue subscribers first which is you know you have to be it's three bucks a month or
00:01:42
something like that I think um and it's in beta and it's rolling out slowly to people who are subscribed but
00:01:48
basically you can tweet and then within 30 minutes of your Tweet if you found the typo or
00:01:53
you tagged the wrong account or you want to add one more thing or punctuation whatever you want to edit the Tweet you
00:01:58
can go in and edit it and you can edit it multiple times in these 30 minutes
00:02:04
which is cool so what happens is the engagement for that tweet will show in aggregate but on
00:02:11
the timeline it will show that this is an edited tweet and you can expand to view the history of the edits and which
00:02:17
engagements happened with which version of the Tweet it's well executed well
00:02:22
thought out I will continue to play with this hopefully not on purpose but I do make typos and I will be fixing them
00:02:28
thank you Twitter I love it I it's funny you've been asking for it so long that I feel like every time you give an example
00:02:34
you give it less and less of a like chance that you're like well we should just get five minutes like one one edit
00:02:40
five characters yeah they give you half an hour on unlimited edits like they went really lenient with it and I love
00:02:48
it I'm surprised it took that long if they're going to be that okay with all of it but yeah because funny is like this is such an old problem that it
00:02:54
almost feels like one of those OG like the lore of this product problems kind of like how Half-Life 3 will never come
00:03:00
out you mean like an Instagram tablet app low blow now
00:03:07
um real quick question you said coming out to Twitter blue users first does that mean to everybody eventually that's
00:03:13
a good question I don't know so right now I know that there's you can only edit uh tweets you can't edit replies
00:03:19
you can't edit polls you can't edit all sorts of things but they do plan on expanding it to all those things
00:03:26
eventually so that's why it's in beta now and they're going to continue to roll it out for all those things I don't
00:03:31
know if that means they're also going to allow everyone to edit eventually it's funny because I wondered you said polls
00:03:37
I was like why couldn't you edit polls oh because yeah and then you can change it but okay
00:03:43
yeah yeah yesterday they also rolled out being able to do multiple media types at
00:03:49
the same time so you can you can tweet which is awesome and GIF at the same time there's some great memes out there
00:03:55
yeah there's one of like the top two and left are Kirby sucking something up and the bottom is like a gif or a video yeah
00:04:02
something like every time there's a new feature people will try to explain it that's exactly I
00:04:09
love it every yeah every new feature somebody just pushes it to the extreme somebody replied that I should just start uh hiding secret messages in edits
00:04:16
so like my timeline looks normal but you can see my tweets are edited and then if you expand every edited tweet you can
00:04:22
find a new set of tweets of a completely different topic we'll play throw some merch coupon codes in there oh
00:04:28
interesting idea does that make you should have Twitter notifications on I
00:04:34
guess I really like that idea actually tell us on Twitter for that no I did uh what we did have at the at the time of
00:04:40
this recording the Google event today we kind of knew everything already but we
00:04:47
got some final confirmations we got some final looks in hand we got the prices and we got to new know if there are new
00:04:54
features or not pixel 7 and pixel 7 Pro pixel watch and an extra look slash
00:04:59
teaser at this tablet that Looms on the horizon for 2023. let's start with just the ecosystem of
00:05:07
the rest of Google stuff yeah that it felt like the whole event was like they right off the bat wanted to hammer an
00:05:12
ecosystem which I kind of I mean I loved it was obvious I think it's obvious that when the watch comes out they kind of
00:05:19
complete their personal ecosystem with the buds and the phone whereas their like home stuff is already kind of miles
00:05:25
ahead of Apple they also announced really quick two home things right before the event that they included in
00:05:31
the event yeah Nest Wi-Fi Pro and the new wired Nest doorbell yes which looks
00:05:37
just like the wired one but slightly smaller yeah so I have the old wired doorbell
00:05:44
and I see that the new one so it's weird my house has like a side door that nobody uses but that's technically the
00:05:50
front door so that's where the wiring in the house is so I have a normal old wired doorbell there but the part of the
00:05:56
house that all the delivery people go to isn't a normal door so I got the wireless battery doorbell and that's
00:06:03
where I stuck that one so that's one everyone uses I think I'm just gonna have to get a matching one now for the
00:06:08
front door anyway it looks solid can we real quick you said you got to see the The Nest Wi-Fi yeah can you tell us what
00:06:15
it looks like because online it looks like a Tic Tac yeah it looks massive
00:06:21
really bad okay it's cool it's big and like the last Google Nest Wi-Fi I
00:06:26
thought was a really well designed really pretty product it was this matte sort of like truncated sphere and it had
00:06:33
speaker holes in the top and it could be used as a Google Assistant Beacon and I always used to say like I love that I
00:06:39
can ask my Wi-Fi router what time it is and what the weather is when I wake up in the morning it feels weird but
00:06:45
awesome it's like it's like an extra benefit because you don't have to buy an extra speaker like in a room where you are often doing a lot of things like
00:06:51
maybe in your bedroom you want a good Wi-Fi signal so that's where you put the thing yeah now you got a speaker yeah and I asked them because they're a bunch
00:06:57
of product managers at the event so the new Nest Wi-Fi Pro uh one the colors are
00:07:02
questionable Google has definitely been doing this weird like so pale pale
00:07:07
pastel theme for the last couple of years now but they're they're really leaning into it and there's like a
00:07:13
yellow speaker which I don't know where you would put that or not speaker a Wi-Fi router yeah it's white yeah
00:07:19
slightly off-white yeah yellow fog which is blue fairly fairly blue and then yellow and
00:07:26
yellow snow linen and lemongrass I looked at the linen one I was like oh it's white and then I looked next to it
00:07:31
and there was the actual white one I was like oh yeah okay got it yeah so it sort of looks it looks badly designed and I I
00:07:39
know that's really rough but it's like it looks like you took you know those uh Marquez pointed that this out to me in
00:07:45
the car you know at Easter when you have those eggs that are filled with candy and there's like it's like two pieces
00:07:51
and you break them open but you can see the seam looks exactly like that but really big and they took the speaker out
00:07:57
which sucks but and I asked them why and they were like we were looking at our user data it just didn't really seem
00:08:02
like people used it that much and I was like but that was my favorite part about it yeah wow and now you have it in the
00:08:10
cheaper one but the only benefit is it has well not only benefit but it has Wi-Fi 6E which gives you six gigahertz
00:08:16
so if you're in the same room as it you can get like gigabit over Wi-Fi which is yeah well you can get 5.4 like you could
00:08:22
over six you could get one two points something I think a 1.2 yeah and then so
00:08:29
6E you can get 5.4 it's also nice getting tri-bands because then you can like hook different devices up on
00:08:34
different things getting the extra six on it um would you say though so Google does their like pastel colors
00:08:41
if all of it was matte do you think it would look better yes yeah I don't know why they went glossy with them it looks
00:08:47
too much like Easter candy I'm thinking that potentially the making it matte
00:08:52
would have been had to use a different material or a different paint that like a six gigahertz signal could not really
00:08:58
pass time I wouldn't have even thought of something like that might be because it looks like it's glossy and it almost
00:09:04
looks plasticky and thin plastic like thin plastic I think that's why yeah but I would have to ask them hopefully
00:09:11
dbrand figure something out here's what I'll say uh I have these like Orbee
00:09:16
routers now that I showed in the Home Tech video that are even bigger and even
00:09:21
uglier and so I pre-ordered these I was like this is actually an improvement uh I switched to them specifically for
00:09:28
Wi-Fi six and to get better speeds so yeah we'll see yeah I um the funny
00:09:34
thing one quick story about that real quick is there was a guy that walked over and started talking to the product manager and he was like oh
00:09:41
so beautiful and she was like aren't they just gorgeous and I was like nope
00:09:48
anyway yeah so that was that it's a family of products now yeah yeah and
00:09:53
then the doorbell actually the colors that the doorbell came in or those look great I like those a lot yeah I'm also I
00:09:59
don't know why they ever did the wireless doorbell everyone I know that has one is like I just wish it was wired so I'm glad they finally did the new one
00:10:06
gives an old thing the wireless is like only useful if you have that problem that I have which is your front door is
00:10:11
weirdly not wired for some reason or if you're in like an apartment or something like you could I think it's great for apartments or house or like rental
00:10:17
property um but like I don't know a lot of people buying these have a home and would rather just hardwire it and not charge
00:10:23
it every three weeks yeah same so three weeks is just too frequent yeah there's weights there's two friends yeah make it
00:10:29
a year and then I'll stay especially something that's like kind of based on your safety like you're having a
00:10:36
security cam like to see things that happen at your house and then after three weeks if you forgot your like I'll
00:10:41
do it tomorrow and then you just get wrong off off and then you get robbed or a package gets stolen or something and
00:10:47
you've missed it all completely yeah this is the part where you put a recurring task reminder and you're everything before they just put a wire
00:10:54
on it and then it's so yeah yeah all right we're doing watch first is that what's happening I think let's do
00:10:59
watch all right we'll save the seven and seven proof after this so pixel watch is a thing we were waiting for it for a
00:11:05
while I think the number one question I get from people outside of the tech World about a Google watch is like are
00:11:12
they gonna make an Apple Watch but for Android phones basically I wouldn't describe it that way I would
00:11:18
describe it like a Fitbit turned into a watch now it still does a lot of both
00:11:24
things it does most of the Apple watch stuff right it gives you notifications will let you use Google Assistant reply
00:11:31
to messages voice text all this normal Smartwatch stuff and then all of the fitness parts are Fitbit they're all
00:11:40
actually in the Fitbit app actually it talks to the Fitbit app on the phone so heart rate tracking Fitness data
00:11:46
Wellness all these sorts of things you're sleep tracking and a sleep score when you wake up in the morning all of
00:11:51
that is happening through Fitbit so the way it's described is like who would want to buy this thing it's a
00:11:57
Fitbit user who wants a little bit more of a smart watch for like the phone notifications or someone who is
00:12:03
considering getting a smart batch a smart watch but really wants Fitbit stuff in it so it's a really small
00:12:10
lightweight yeah so one size 24 hour battery life that's the worrying
00:12:17
part they said up to 24 hour battery life oh for sure yeah that's we'll see how that goes it's a very small watch
00:12:22
like I wouldn't expect a good battery life I put it on my wrist next to the ultra dwarfs it yeah dwarfs it but
00:12:28
that's the uh that's the Google pixel watch you had a tweet earlier that I really liked I think you said that they
00:12:34
should have just renamed it Google Fitbit um and then like I I don't like that I
00:12:40
have to do a new app on my pixel because I would rather just use Google fit like they should just change the Google Fit
00:12:45
app into the Fitbit app it's gonna connect all together anyways I don't think it's bad that they're using Fitbit
00:12:52
it's clearly they have years and years of practice with this they've been doing all the tracking and stuff I think it's
00:12:57
great that Fitbit users can come to the pixel watch and have all their their everything they're used to have all
00:13:03
their information and it's like a tried and true tracker already I do like that I do think there's some people who just
00:13:09
don't have a smart watch that might be excited to get this knowing that fitbit's been around for a while yeah
00:13:15
um but the double app it would make made more sense if the Google Fit app was just now the same yeah I talked to like
00:13:21
all of the product managers at the event and I talked to the pixel watch one too and I said okay you need the Fitbit app
00:13:27
and the Google Fit app and he's like well we really recommend that people
00:13:33
recommending that people use the Fitbit app for this and that's really what this is designed for I'm like so so strange
00:13:40
Google that's weird it is just sort of thrown to the sideline he's like well you could use that you know if you
00:13:46
wanted to use that and I was just thinking like okay and I think there were reports
00:13:52
um a couple of weeks ago that Google is going to force you to switch over to a Google account instead of a Fitbit
00:13:58
account like you're going to move your Fitbit account over to being a Google account okay um but you still use the Fitbit app and
00:14:05
I don't know they just they need to truncate it like yeah if they just called it Google Fitbit that's all they
00:14:11
have to do because it's a recognizable Fitbit name they just call it Google Fitbit and they either use all the data
00:14:17
and features from the Fitbit app and then make it in the Google style like Google fit or they just like you know
00:14:22
use the Fitbit app and then just call it Google Fitbit and get rid of Google fit if it's confusing to me it's going to be
00:14:28
confusing oh yeah lots of first-time Smartwatch users yeah they said in the setup it will prompt you to download
00:14:34
Fitbit but it does not prompt you to download Google Fit I bet there's going to be people who buy it or like why is
00:14:41
this isn't a Fitbit why is it yeah but I think there are people who are going to be just like oh it's a it's
00:14:48
a Google watch or it's the pixel watch why is it telling you yeah I've been buying a Fitbit I've not noticed that
00:14:53
there's like a connection there that Google owns it yeah yeah it's it's small but it's also way
00:15:00
thinner than it looks like it really yeah in the renders it's I can't wait to see that it's not like you know super
00:15:06
super flat but it's it's pretty thin but that also worries me about the battery life right yeah yeah it's elegant it's
00:15:12
really nice looking yeah can I hear your thoughts on like I'll say one thing that I thought looked really cool I kind of
00:15:19
think it has the same issue as what I thought the pixel 6 did last year is all the video I'm seeing of it looks like a
00:15:25
render and I'm having a hard hard time imagining it in real life yeah the coolest thing about it I thought was how
00:15:30
the band attaches I think that's actually really cool I don't know if it sounds like you guys had some issues
00:15:37
with it based on that but the way they showed it seemed really neat okay Apple this is one of those things where I
00:15:43
think we will but yeah so this is actually a pretty underrated thing like Apple's had the same way of attaching
00:15:48
bands since the first watch which doesn't sound like a huge deal but that's because if you change the way it attaches it's like changing a port like
00:15:55
all of the previous bands that every accessory maker anyone ever bought doesn't work anymore so it's really important to get the way the watch band
00:16:02
connects to the watch right the first time so that that's how you just keep it for as long as possible yeah so they
00:16:08
they demoed this like elegant new way of like clicking out and rotating it to the side I tried it and granted I was trying
00:16:14
it on camera but I tried it many times and it is not easy okay yeah uh I have
00:16:21
big fingers maybe I don't know but it's kind of like this awkward like push down and then rotate over over the part that
00:16:27
you just pushed so I got it to work um but I don't know I changed Apple
00:16:32
watch bands on the regular just like real quick yeah uh and I I don't know if
00:16:37
that's just because I I got used to it real quick or if it's because this is a better way of doing it it's probably
00:16:42
definitely a muscle memory thing because I don't change my Apple watch band very often at all and when I do it's like I
00:16:48
kind of have to dig my finger in and kind of press it and then it slides off really fast so maybe it's just I'll have to do it more often yeah I changed my
00:16:54
watch band every day because I sleep in one band and I wear a different band out every day okay yeah well I mean this is
00:16:59
like a normal rubber band but I I have like a softer like okay band or whatever so once a day I just yeah to be fair
00:17:06
like I was there with the camera being like this and Marquez was like trying to keep it in Focus like because we had
00:17:12
this narrow field of focus so he was like trying to do it sort of at a weird angle so yeah we'll see over the next
00:17:17
week or so how that you guys saying that made me think now though that like third-party watch bands for this are
00:17:23
gonna be a pain in the neck even if it works perfectly think thinking about how that works that's far harder than like
00:17:29
this small little just diameter that has to slide in or like Samsung Garmin are generally pretty easy because it's just
00:17:35
a pin that you press in yeah and slide in there the advantage to this is there are no visible lugs so you have these
00:17:42
really elegant like seamless looking bands that don't appear to connect to the watch they just like they look like
00:17:48
they just come out of the watch yeah they look really cool and I understand why they did it this way we'll see how
00:17:54
long it takes to get used to that yeah I think the bands look good um the quality of them did not feel
00:18:00
nearly as good as the Apple watch bands but I feel like it's I don't know it's a gen 1 thing no Trail over time they were
00:18:08
really cool looking bands like super cool looking bands but they just felt like tough and they weren't stretching
00:18:13
at all and the one that I tried and this maybe is where we ended but it was uh it was really stretchy and it was kind of
00:18:19
like a Trail Loop it didn't have a velcro part but it was like a solo Loop and it was like a like a felt it's like
00:18:27
a white white fabric yeah white fabric but it was stretchy yeah and yeah it was comfortable I was super comfortable but
00:18:33
I was just worried that like it was white fabric at all in that it's just gonna turn
00:18:38
yellow I'll sleep in that one I think yeah that'll be my sleep tracking pillow
00:18:43
man exactly um really quick question about the the bezel on the pixel watch because it's
00:18:49
kind of the thing that we all saw was there but it was hard to see and then they were really showing it this time
00:18:54
and it looks kind of brutal is it as bad in person you know how if you're a product designer and you're making a
00:18:59
phone with a huge Notch then you would design wallpapers around hiding them and apple did that that's this watch yeah
00:19:06
yeah yeah it's funny because it it the bezel is definitely big
00:19:11
um but everything about the UI has a gradient Into Darkness so even the
00:19:17
flashlight app on the watch there's a flashlight app obviously it's not that bright it's like way dimmer than the
00:19:22
Apple watch okay but it it's bright in the center and then as you get near the bezels it like tapers off into just
00:19:29
turning the pixels off yeah to make it their whole idea is like we never want you to be able to see a UI element
00:19:37
touching the bezel because if you can't see it then the bezel unless you're in direct sunlight just kind of looks like
00:19:43
part of the screen it's definitely a thicker bezel but the way that they design the UI
00:19:48
theoretically makes it look not huge the thing is it's already a small watch they did one example that shows that not
00:19:56
working which was the viewfinder for when you're yeah oh my God that was the worst example I've ever seen the square
00:20:03
like again they did so much work hiding the bezel and every other thing and then you got to see it there also can I just
00:20:09
say when the Moto 360 came out in 2013 thin bezel yes it had the flat tire yeah
00:20:16
but whatever it wasn't that bad it had it looked nicer in my opinion than this watch and I remember like one of the
00:20:23
first third-party apps that came out was a remote camera shutter and I remember using that all the time and it filled
00:20:29
the entire thing it wasn't like here's the entire image in a square format it like it filled the whole screen of
00:20:36
cropped I don't know it just it feels like they forgot everything that happened in the last nine years
00:20:42
so I don't know I feel like we need to use it and then see how it is yeah for sure in a dimly lit environment the OLED
00:20:48
is black and does a good job of Fading Into the black bezel yeah but we shall
00:20:54
see in most scenarios yes but we'll see 349 for that watch it'll be 3.99 with
00:21:00
cellular we'll try it we'll review it stay tuned we gotta take a break so we'll do a quick trivia question but
00:21:06
when we come back we got to talk about the phones of course all right
00:21:13
trivia so the score is David has four Andrew has eight and Marquez has seven
00:21:21
so because at the Apple event we did we did Apple themed questions this one
00:21:27
we're doing Google themed questions oh I'm gonna slave remember those uh Apple themed questions Andrew no not really oh
00:21:34
yeah yeah so should I just give you the answers first or yeah yeah
00:21:40
of course all right which of the following was not the name of a color
00:21:45
for a Google product oh pixel product yeah okay um sort of Sunny clearly white not pink
00:21:53
or not really black
00:22:00
maybe that's all because I pay too much attention to the puns that people make about the colors yeah anyway all right
00:22:06
we'll be right back [Music]
00:22:18
today's episode is sponsored by click up we love gadgets and Tech when they work well but if a productivity tool is
00:22:24
difficult to understand and even harder to actually use then what's the point click up was founded on the idea that
00:22:29
productivity can be better it's designed to replace all the different tools that live in separate ecosystems bring them
00:22:35
all together it can house all your tasks projects docs goals spreadsheets and
00:22:40

all right we're back let's talk about the phones pixel 7 and pixel 7 Pro are officially official now we've seen these
00:23:22
phones in renders and various teasers from Google over and over and over and over and over and over again for the
00:23:30
past couple weeks but yeah we finally have prices and we finally have specs
00:23:36
and features so there's the 6.3 inch uh flat 1080p
00:23:41
90 90 Hertz or 60 90 Hertz pixel 7 uh it has a 43.55 milliamp hour battery and
00:23:48
eight gigs of RAM and it has a regular camera and an ultra wide on the back and then a new a selfie
00:23:54
camera it gets up to 1400 nits which is really impressive the screen on the pixel 7 looks substantially better than
00:24:01
this does it yes it does okay yeah it looks good then you have the pixel 7 Pro which adds a telephoto which is a new 5x
00:24:08
telephoto camera it has a larger I believe 5000 milliamp hour battery it has a slightly curved over the edges
00:24:16
1440p 120hz ltp0 OLED it's curved slightly less oh yeah than the 6 Pro
00:24:22
okay happy to note that I was I was curious if that would be true or not they didn't even say it in the keynote but it is curved less over the edge just
00:24:29
like s20 to S21 remember how uh s20 Ultra was way too curved and then 21
00:24:35
it was like perfect yeah they went back they went over it and then they went back if you're comparing the S21 Ultra
00:24:41
this is all wow okay yeah let's not get ahead of ours though we'll get there baby steps but you know there's two new
00:24:47
phones uh also the big one has four extra gigs Ram it's the new tensor G2 chip I mean these
00:24:55
phones really aren't about specs it's more and I'll talk about this in the in the Impressions video when we when we
00:25:00
get to making that later today but it's about it's more about like the features and being helpful and being like a
00:25:06
really smart smartphone so I almost like didn't care what the specs were like they're no they're the same internals
00:25:13
with a little more RAM on the bigger one um but I don't know first impressions like the design is it still looks like a
00:25:19
pixel but instead of glass visor it's metal visor this time yeah uh I don't
00:25:26
know yet if I prefer that or not I kind of think I prefer that fast really I don't know I like the metal I don't like
00:25:33
the cutouts of it so I'm like I'm 50 50 on it I think once you see the phones you will be happy okay in my
00:25:39
opinion I think I'm leaning towards wood what's nice is that last year we were like this feels like a bunch of
00:25:45
different random Parts like glued together because even the camera visor I'm taking the skin yeah take the skin
00:25:51
I'm gonna show you this the camera visor is a separate part to the side rails yes in this one exactly it's all one solid
00:25:57
piece that's the thing and it just makes it feel higher quality I still hate that they're glossy phones because I think
00:26:02
matte would have been amazing oh man I miss pixel Matt yeah oh my
00:26:07
goodness pixel 4. with like matte edges yeah and three that seam right there
00:26:13
yeah yeah is it's unibody on the metal yes and it just the metal just feels really good and the cutouts in the
00:26:20
camera don't look that bad it's not that bad I think you'll like it so the the more interesting Parts is the features which is we're looking forward to like
00:26:26
okay what are they gonna do with this phone that they couldn't do with the pixel 6. so potential G2 they basically take advantage of the fact that they
00:26:32
know they can do a bunch of this um this computational computational photography speech to text if you're uh
00:26:40
sending a voice note in Google messages it'll transcribe it so you can see the text in before you play the voice note
00:26:46
which is interesting um I really think the most interesting stuff is all in the cameras wait before
00:26:51
we get to that can I tell you my favorite thing and like what makes me want a pixel 7 Face Unlock is back oh
00:26:58
yeah so happy about that I miss it so much I
00:27:03
hate my fingerprint sensor on my pixel 6 and I want Face Unlock back and I think they said it's a G2 thing right yeah so
00:27:10
okay and I it was it only on the pro no no it's on both sometimes trust me that was the first thing I looked at for all
00:27:16
they said it's using machine learning which means there's no special like hardware for it which means they're
00:27:23
using a 2D image and using ml don't care I just want it okay I appreciate remember how people were
00:27:30
using the fingerprint reader and it was unlocking each other's phones yeah like two weeks ago I'm just like wondering if
00:27:35
people are gonna be able to unlock each other we'll see it's not going to be as secure as some of the better ones out
00:27:40
there yeah but I just want it so bad they also said the fingerprint sensor was new and better okay I should be
00:27:46
testing that yeah yeah that's what I'm gonna be on mine's mostly for chalked up hands when I'm climbing like if it's new
00:27:52
and better it's not gonna get it anyways and I just want Face Unlock back really bad so I'm very very excited okay yeah
00:27:58
well it's like that is one camera feature okay uses the camera okay you're right you're that is a camera feature but around the back fact we do get
00:28:05
um a it's the same primary camera it is the great camera a slightly updated Ultra wide with autofocus now so it can
00:28:13
take better macro shots only on the pro only on the pro yeah the pixel 7 uses the same ultrawise before and the pro
00:28:20
also has a Nutella photo it's a 5x telephoto and what they're doing is uh a
00:28:25
little more of that this is okay rewind my favorite moment of the keynote was at
00:28:30
the beginning they took this little opportunity to go oh you know we really like when our competitors are inspired
00:28:37
by our features pixel has always been a leader in smartphone Innovation and we take it as a compliment when others in
00:28:43
the industry follow our lead like the always on display and at a glance introduced with pixel 2. and
00:28:50
adopt them because they're really good you know how like we had an always-on display back with the pixel 2 and you know how like we had crash detection
00:28:56
three years ago and the crowd was kind of like oh y'all so clever Google
00:29:01
nine minutes later they were like introducing cinematic mode and face unlocked and all these things
00:29:08
you've never seen before um and so the one interesting thing that the iPhone just did that I think is smart is their take a crop of the middle
00:29:16
12 megapixels of the camera for basically an optical level of Zoom they
00:29:21
do that on the primary camera so it goes from 50 to 12 and a half megapixels and then the telephoto is also a high
00:29:28
resolution so they can do the same thing so they'll go 5x and then crop in their 10x is another optical zoom and then
00:29:36
they have these like haptic stops in the zoom in the software so you can feel when you get to 2x 5x 10x and those are
00:29:45
like good levels of Zoom to try to use up to 30. yeah yeah so that's pretty
00:29:50
cool super red Zoom for all the little weird stops in between I'm excited to test you know using the cameras how well
00:29:57
they handle zooming but that's like more interesting on the specs is like what features they would add and seems like
00:30:03
they're doing a lot of camera stuff yeah something that's really interesting to me about the zoom is that they admitted
00:30:09
on stage because when you when you take the center pixels and then you use that as a crop to get an optical zoom you're
00:30:16
using smaller pixels because you were previously turning those pixels into bigger super pixels and now you're using
00:30:22
smaller pixels which means you gonna have a noisy or image and they admitted that on stage they're like oh but you
00:30:29
know so we're doing that but then you have smaller pixels so what we're doing and then they talked about this whole pipeline change for their remosaicing
00:30:36
the the bear array to like make it better I don't I need to talk to them more about what exactly they're doing
00:30:42
but they like seem to be aware of it whereas Apple didn't even acknowledge that I think it's pretty classic Google
00:30:47
using software to overcome Hardware problems yeah yeah always I remember the pixel 3 briefing we went to they were
00:30:54
telling us about all these things for zooming I I think I'm at the point where until I see a zoom photo that I'm like
00:31:00
that looks great yeah I'm just not going to believe any of this I have such a
00:31:05
hard time being excited for a zoom and a smartphone at this point the phones at the event were pre-loaded with like a
00:31:11
bunch of pictures that were taken on like pixel 7 Pro and I will say that like at least you know the photos that
00:31:17
they show exactly yeah um every zoom level looked pretty great until you got to 30X and then looked
00:31:23
terrible okay watercolor at that yeah it was kind of like the Samsung like 100x Zoom when they first announced it and
00:31:28
everyone was doing the comparison photos and like yeah you can do 100 but it like what is that what am I looking at oh
00:31:34
that's the impactful tower from a thousand miles away yeah I feel like I always say if I'm using the zoom it's to
00:31:41
like I'm taking that picture to prove I saw something not to post as a nice picture the minute I zoom in on my
00:31:48
smartphone I've given up on quality completely and it's a proof I would say it's 5x maybe you could use for like a
00:31:54
portrait shot but beyond that it's like okay that's yeah yeah
00:31:59
I I think the coolest feature is something that might not end up staying as a pixel 7 exclusive and that is the
00:32:07
unblur feature okay so they showed on stage basically you have a pixel 7 or 7
00:32:12
Pro either one it has the tensor G2 chip and you can take a photo in your Google
00:32:17
photos Library whether or not it was taken on the phone and if it has a slightly blurry face or a slightly
00:32:24
blurry maybe it was shaking a little bit not even just faces just yeah they said it'll detect blur or it'll detect things
00:32:30
that are slightly out of focus yeah and it will go oh this seems like you'd want to unblure it and it'll surface the
00:32:36
unblur button which is always available you hit the unblurb button and it uses Ai and sharpening and ML and blah blah
00:32:42
blah blah Google does its magic and creates a sharper fixed photo basically
00:32:50
it's very impressive based on the three or four demos that I saw in person I've
00:32:55
got to try this now like I have lots of blurry photos in my Google photos Library
00:33:01
um I say that it might not stay exclusive because remember uh Magic Eraser and lots of other features but
00:33:07
like that started as a pixel 6 exclusive and now that's just a thing you can do now yeah so unblur
00:33:14
seems cool yeah probably don't need a pixel for it you know what's hilarious is that um because they added the thing
00:33:20
in the pixel 6 where it'll it'll use the ultra wide camera to also take damage and then strap it in it's like they have
00:33:28
so many ways to like avoid blur now that at at point of capture they're avoiding
00:33:35
blur and now they're also getting rid of the blur after point of capture yeah so it's just like no photos will ever be
00:33:42
blurry ever again oh our parents will figure out how to mess up but I do I do like that you can um you can do it on
00:33:49
any image so I have like a lot of film photos that I've taken that are slightly out of focus yeah and theoretically it
00:33:54
could fix that that's not really the same photo anymore but it's I think that's cool it's pretty cool that you
00:34:00
can bring in other things that you haven't even taken on the phone let alone even maybe like a smartphone that I'll be interested to see how well it
00:34:06
does but I don't know they do pretty good on that I hope it does well and this isn't just the uh the chain link fence example well
00:34:13
at least you kind of saw it already yeah to see it actually work is it called remastering when you like you know those
00:34:19
photos so it'll take like an old like sepia photo on the like restore it whatever or something like that colorized yeah colorize and they'll like
00:34:26
take an old photo and like make that you can like see into the past more sharply it kind of feels like that sort of magic
00:34:32
like Google's just making that possible on a phone which they also have color eyes in Google photos now so they
00:34:38
basically will just turn old garbage photos into great photos yeah I'm in yeah Grandma I'm coming for you yeah
00:34:44
it's gonna be your birthday present you're gonna have all you make it High School yearbook photos from the 60s looking like 4K photos yeah love it yeah
00:34:52
but but um to your point on how long it's going to stay uh pixel exclusive we should make it bet I'm yeah we should
00:34:58
make of it I'm pretty sure that the the servers that Google runs
00:35:03
um all of its Google photos stuff on like run tensor processors too or tensor
00:35:08
processing units so I mean I could see three to five months this just coming to
00:35:14
everybody it right now it feels like it's definitely like a marketing thing that's like pleased by our pixel because
00:35:20
we have this exclusive feature but Google pretty much always rolls out the exclusive pixel features into all
00:35:25
devices through Google photos I think this this kind of Loops into the benchmarks video that we did this week
00:35:31
which is there are pieces of the Silicon of the system on a chip that is that are designed for certain tasks to accelerate
00:35:37
them and make them really good Google's for a while know they've had cool things for like speech to text like you just
00:35:43
ramble at your phone and it's immediately transcribing everything you say there's a new recorder app well it's
00:35:49
the same recorder app but there's an update to it that's coming later and it's not at launch but it has speaker
00:35:54
labels they blew my mind with it because when they were giving me the walkthrough they were talking about certain things
00:36:01
and I was replying and they were talking and then the guy took his phone out of his pocket and showed me that the whole
00:36:07
time it was recording and had speaker labels and they were accurate that's a great deal like that is great on device
00:36:12
pocket in his pocket damn is this your card moment you've been writing all that
00:36:18
down so when I see this uh this unblur feature I imagine it probably works best on device because tensor G2 has the
00:36:26
horsepower in that special part of the Silicon for that function great
00:36:32
um it'll probably just be slower and slightly worse on other phones that aren't the new pixel 7. yeah fine yeah
00:36:39
yeah I have one more thing yeah uh I really really liked they showed uh like
00:36:44
Google always talks about inclusivity and accessibility a lot um they've talked about skin tones a lot in terms
00:36:50
of their camera stuff but I really really liked the section where they have a new feature for the selfie camera
00:36:55
where if you are visually impaired it can voice talk to you about how to like
00:37:01
maybe set up your shot a little better so that people who are visually impaired can take selfies without needing
00:37:07
somebody else to help up them at all yeah I just thought that was like such a good idea and I'm so surprised we
00:37:12
haven't seen it before one face [Music]
00:37:24
oh my God I love this move your phone right enough ready for selfies
00:37:31
photo taken this is so cool it's a great idea I saw a demo of a shout out to Molly Burke fellow YouTuber in the in
00:37:38
the demo for that um also the selfie camera is really wide did you notice that I saw that wider and
00:37:45
the new selfie camera is also wider yeah yeah the selfie camera because it's 11 megapixels now I believe yeah so I think
00:37:52
when it's so by default you open the selfie app and it's cropped in to like probably eight or something yeah but you
00:37:58
can zoom out okay and it's really it's like pixel 3 XL 92.8 degree field of
00:38:03
view I think that's about what pixel 2 pixel 3 XL oh it was so good it was so good yeah 11 megapixels is so
00:38:10
unfortunate because it's right below underneath 4K or something so close so it's 10.8
00:38:17
apparently basically 11 I just want to before someone gets mad at this point too I want to just so I won't do 4K
00:38:24
video I just love that it's super super wide again like I've been waiting for that forever so yeah yeah same prices
00:38:31
Stadium prices as last year and that's not okay I gave the pixel 6 my value
00:38:36
phone of the year I think 5.99 for the base phone is great totally I still don't know how you justify spending 300
00:38:44
more dollars on the pro because we are we were thinking about that last year where it's like ah what are you really
00:38:50
getting for 300 more dollars telephoto 120 hertz bigger battery that's mostly
00:38:56
what you're getting is that 300 more phone it's the same
00:39:01
thing this year it's lcpo telephoto bigger battery
00:39:07
same as before more gigs of RAM like that's it and I'm not sure if they just
00:39:12
liked the way the last year's phone sold so they didn't want to change anything I'm not sure if it's look we need to
00:39:18
look like a premium phone so we need to charge premium phone money because that's what it has to look like on a shelf a combination of things but that's
00:39:26
the new it's the same price as last year I do think um I think in their mind and something
00:39:32
they said in the event was they're comparing the top phone to other flagships which is this is cheaper than
00:39:39
other flagships it is so therefore the 8.99 price isn't the worst but it makes
00:39:44
it feel worse when your other phone is really good and so cheap so they're almost like biting themselves by doing
00:39:51
that because like that's a great price phone this isn't a bad price phone if you want to actually compare it to other
00:39:56
flagships it's a great price are they screwing themselves over I'm not gonna complain I love the 600 price tag yes
00:40:02
sir I'll phrase it if the seven doesn't exist the pixel 7 Pro looks like a good deal because you're like
00:40:09
the thousand dollar phones out there that it's being compared to am I having Deja Vu right now
00:40:15
in the lineup then you're like oh yeah no it's 300 cheaper to get almost the
00:40:21
same phone yeah I think the only thing that they kind of leaned into more to
00:40:26
try to separate the phones this year is that because it's 5x zoom zoom and then
00:40:31
all of the magic they're doing that allows you to zoom in to like 20x and have it still look good like on the
00:40:37
pixel 7 you can't do any of that I agree
00:40:44
yeah I I would save 300 bucks and not be able to zoom and then the better The Wider ultrawide it's 21 wider on the
00:40:52
pixel 7 Pro and it has the autofocus pixels which allows you to do macro mode anyone really cares no I do that is a
00:40:59
good point actually splitting the ultrawide up a little more does add like one more step to it and the zoom stuff
00:41:06
like 5x Zoom versus 3x and then allowing you to do like 20x and still look good I
00:41:11
think is more but when I held them both personally and I think I might even have
00:41:16
said this last year I think the pixel 7 feels higher quality than the 7 Pro just because of the form factor and how big
00:41:23
it is but just flat screen actually the flat screen I think makes it feel better yeah it's thin bezels and flat screen
00:41:29
yeah yeah yeah because it's a good material it's not like it's not like the OnePlus 9 regular which felt like
00:41:36
absolute trash because the back was like really bad quality yeah it feels like a good like for 5.99 the 7 feels very
00:41:44
premium I will say that yeah we're complaining complaining about it here but this is honestly a good problem for
00:41:49
Pixel to have because like or Google to have because the people who are making this comparison between them are still
00:41:55
debating between two Google phones so true I mean like it's a pretty good problem to have yeah yeah same prices
00:42:02
last year I am I'm gonna start testing them we'll figure it out we'll we'll see if they're worth it we'll see if the
00:42:08
differences are deeper than we're realizing now but that's the pixel 7 and pixel 7 Pro they
00:42:14
did also give us a preview of of a mysterious tablet yes that Looms on the
00:42:20
horizon we'll talk about that after one more break right but that does mean it's time for one more trivia question
00:42:28
[Music] all right back to the Google theme this
00:42:35
week what was Google originally going to be called the company well the search
00:42:42
engine this this okay oh let's search engine we had an easier question but I
00:42:48
got lit up for the first one being too easy no so I didn't say anything can I have the old question yeah I feel like I
00:42:56
read about this last week and promptly forgot me too time for a break time for break
00:43:04
[Music]

00:43:45
fantastic if you can get it it's hard to find it these have 4K amazing um but one thing I noticed that the gigabyte has is
00:43:52
they have different monitors with the arm attached already so if you like playing FPS like I do I play a lot of
00:43:59
valorant you can just right off the bat cram that monitor as close to your face as possible with your nose touching it

00:44:46
www.aorsus.com monitors 4K welcome back we're going to talk about
00:44:51
pixel tablet next which is kind of something I don't think anyone expected to hear much more about right because
00:44:57
it's a next year product this is the weird Google thing they're doing is they're just teasing everything they're going to do soon a year in advance so
00:45:03
that one at least they're like well we showed everybody already if we just give it to you I mean I
00:45:09
wasn't expecting it so I almost felt like all the leaks of the pixel 7 and stuff even though we knew about the
00:45:14
tablet we weren't expecting to learn more and we did and so I just want to say when we were sitting and watching
00:45:20
this they opened up the whole event and they're talking about design where they kind of showed off everything right and
00:45:25
they they showed the tablet but it was kind of on like a it was on an end table on the couch and I was like is that a
00:45:32
nest Hub or a tablet I think it is and hayato said oh it's just a nest Hub it's supposed to look exactly like it and I
00:45:38
went wouldn't it be sick if it had a docking station that turned it into a Nesta is this you're freaking out I feel
00:45:44
like we had the same thought yeah it's just the most brilliant thing ever yeah it's so simple it's awesome
00:45:53
is that I walked over to like the area where they had all the products and stuff and there was a Google like
00:46:00
product like product specialist and I was like is this the the tablet and she
00:46:05
was like I oh no yeah at that moment I had that moment where I walked up to him and the
00:46:12
person in front of me just picked it up and tried to take it off and I was like oh no that's just the nest no it's so
00:46:17
for the listeners like the the bass looks exactly like the base of the Nesta but sort of like that fabric and then
00:46:23
you just like it's got these Pogo pen contacts and it's magnetic and you slap it against the thing and for me this
00:46:28
makes so much sense because I love the nest Hub already so for me I'm not even buying a pixel tablet I'm buying a nest
00:46:35
Hub that detaches so that I can just randomly use it as a tablet in the few circumstances that I want to I couldn't
00:46:42
be more on the same page I just like the minute I saw it I was like this is a nest Hub that I will love I can detach
00:46:50
it for when I'm hosting if I want to like walk around my house and like play different music or if I go to my backyard and I'm controlling music or
00:46:57
controlling lights or like maybe seeing if someone's at the door I have it with me and then the very few times I would
00:47:02
want a tablet is like downloading movies for the plane or something like that where I don't need to buy a crazy tablet
00:47:08
I can just pop it off my Nest Hub and take it with the on the trip with me it's so smart it does make a lot of
00:47:13
sense I want to know what their solution is for needing two different uis I guess maybe when you pop it in the pins it
00:47:19
goes oh I am a hub now probably and does all the Hub stuff for like if the doorbell rings it takes over the whole
00:47:24
screen or if it's a tablet and the doorbell rings it's just a notification so they probably have this sort of a
00:47:30
switching mode where you know when your tablet when it's on the pins cool uh
00:47:35
also this is maybe this is just picky of me but I I only use most of the time I
00:47:41
use my tablet at home it's on a stand like in a folio case like on on the
00:47:47
kitchen table or something so if I want to do that with this one I need to pop it off of the stand and then
00:47:53
put it in the folio case and then when I put it back I take it out of the folio case and put it back on the stand that's fine I can deal with that I think it's a
00:47:59
good idea I think it's a good idea the scenario you say you usually use a tablet at home I don't think this is for
00:48:06
you that's my take from it this I want this because I'm not a tablet person yeah and there are a few situations like
00:48:13
media consumption where I would want it and I am like that's what this is for this is mostly for me going to be home
00:48:20
automation and the nest Hub and then I get the benefit of a tablet that I don't need to be super intense yeah every once
00:48:27
in a while yeah absolutely I'm not a tablet person whatsoever I've never found use for them but like I love the
00:48:34
nest Hub so just being able to use it as a tablet if I need to in these rare circumstances just makes so much sense
00:48:40
and I think just for the record I'm pretty sure Lenovo made this exact product like
00:48:45
five years ago yeah I know I know I know just around the time of the like original Google home okay I'm pretty
00:48:52
sure that they made like an Android tablet that mounted and became a smart display but because it wasn't like supported by
00:48:59
Google and the way that this is where it like acts and looks like an s-dub my biggest question now is how good are the
00:49:05
speakers going to be because the um in the bass in the I don't know if this the bass is a speaker it is it is it's a
00:49:13
magnetic speaker dock in that case everything's amazing let's go party baby sounds like the speakers in the tablet
00:49:20
don't have to be that great because they can just be normal tablet speakers and then they pop it on to the speaker dock and then it's got everything you need
00:49:25
this is the greatest Google product ever it might be excited I will be interested
00:49:31
I will be interested a couple things um price obviously like what is this price going to be specs on it I'm kind
00:49:38
of are you assuming this is going to be yeah okay you so I guess I don't even know
00:49:43
what that necessarily means it's because it's going to be a competitor to like a top of the line iPad I don't think it
00:49:49
should be I don't care about that I think so that's important what you just said like people who like the 80 of
00:49:56
tablet users who are just like I think what was the stat on stage like 80 of tablets are home bodies yeah never leave
00:50:02
the house they're on the living room couch most of the time it's the kids watching videos it's Netflix on the
00:50:08
plane casual stuff that person this is great for them and that person doesn't
00:50:13
need an a15 bionic or whatever like the iPad Pro and all those expensive tablets that have these crazy super high-end
00:50:19
features are for The Fringe of people who are like maybe this can be my only computer like that type of level tablet
00:50:26
user great uh nobody's Cross Shopping those I think this can be a 600
00:50:33
yeah 600 you turn it into your nest Hub you don't have to spend 200 on a nest
00:50:38
Hub now how much is a nest Hub Max it's a Max yeah I'm assuming screen size is probably pretty more similar to the max
00:50:44
230. are you guys you guys didn't even get to see it right no that's not it wasn't no no no no no hello I thought I
00:50:50
saw it yeah yeah but so I'm even the product manager didn't know if it was she was like I don't really know because
00:50:57
I'm I'm gonna guess it's closer to the nest Hub Max size for the screen right yeah
00:51:03
10 inch so how much is a nest sub Max 230 to 230 Nesta Max came out in I'm guessing 2019
00:51:10
by the way I remember going to the i o for that that was three years ago I
00:51:15
still use mine every day they're awesome yeah they're great I love I love this product you think so much what do you
00:51:23
think the price should be for this tablet do you want like a super optimistic or like how it's so much
00:51:31
gonna depend on how what the specs are on the thing what it's got huge bezels so I'm just automatically going to guess
00:51:37
the cheaper end right I want to say five to six hundred I think using
00:51:43
context like you are big bezels tensorship fine
00:51:49
like doesn't need a ton of Ram or high-end specs and iPad Air is what 500.
00:51:57
this can be at or under iPad iPad Air I think it will be under I think it'll be
00:52:03
450 to 500. that's my guess I'm gonna guess
00:52:09
3.99. okay so one thing that is interesting is when you scale up
00:52:15
production of chips which they get to do now think about this tensor was only
00:52:20
used in pixels before how many pixels did they sell more than any other pixel
00:52:26
but not that many in in retrospect if they're able to use tensor G2 in another product that they're going to be
00:52:31
shipping a lot of the overall unit price of 1032 will go down if that's the case they might even be able to make this
00:52:38
cheaper that's why the um the uh i i iPod no
00:52:44
I phone wow [Music]
00:52:50
iPod phone it's been a long long day that's why the iPhone SE is able to run the flagship chip because the they make
00:52:57
just an absolute crapload of a15s and they can just put it in everything you know yeah so 3.99 somewhere in there I
00:53:05
think either 349 or 399 whoa 349 would be great I'm like a little skeptical of
00:53:13
how cheap it will be just because the last cheap Google tablet was horrific and I don't think they want to make sure
00:53:19
yeah yeah that was pretty so like I do yeah I'm more getting excited the more you talk about this I thought it was
00:53:26
going to be kind of expensive I'm worried it's going to be too much of like trying to compete with the top
00:53:31
tablets and then it's going to be this like ins if it's like a thousand dollar thing it's gonna be a total flop I want
00:53:38
it to be cheap I want it to be like just a decent tablet that's like we've said I
00:53:44
feel like this is only going to be for adults because like if you give your kid a tablet right you can give them like a
00:53:51
cheap Kindle Fire and they're just going to be using it only a tablet all the time and they never like a kid is not
00:53:56
going to walk up to the counter and mount the switch
00:54:02
I would not give my kid the option to do that right so if that's the case then like I feel like it's mostly going to be
00:54:08
media a consumption device so it could probably get away with like three gigs of RAM you could make it cheaper
00:54:14
honestly I feel like yeah 3.99 would be a dream I would be so happy if it was 3.99 I think it will be oh or 349 one of
00:54:21
those I'm gonna stick with my like 500 prediction okay but yeah I do agree they're not going to
00:54:27
compete with the the high-end tablets of like do you want a super high end low latency stylus do you want like three
00:54:33
cameras for some reason like it only has one camera you might not ever use it like it's a it's a nest Hub Max that
00:54:39
happens to detach yeah it's exactly well it'll be interesting to see how people compare them too because I do think that
00:54:45
it's that it's almost not a tablet maybe they're shooting themselves in the foot by calling it a tablet but like yeah
00:54:51
it's a nest home Max that has a tablet function and that's what I'm looking for do you guys think it's going to replace
00:54:56
the nest of Max like they'll stop selling the nestab Max uh interesting then it would have to be cheaper
00:55:03
I don't think so no no because the nest up Max is only 230 dollars so if it's replacing the nest Hub Max and you're
00:55:09
gonna go up to 350 that's tougher ask to get that into people's homes I think it
00:55:15
could because there's still the regular Nest Hub there is the small size the small one I could see it just being the
00:55:21
new Big version and there's still the small version if you want a cheaper non-tablet version that's a huge Delta
00:55:26
but you know Google likes to do that I mean you know what they should make the nest Hub mini but it detaches so you get
00:55:32
a tablet that's the five inch tablet smaller than the pixel 6 7 Pro
00:55:38
Google they keep introducing it as a tablet they keep saying Google
00:55:43
I think it's going to live as a tablet and you can buy this dock separately if you want to do this thing I think that's
00:55:49
what really happens oh wait hold on really yeah when we're talking about prices are we including the dock I
00:55:54
thought it was all coming together I thought it was coming together I might have to re-watch the keynote and see if they said optional or not but it's I I
00:56:01
every time I hear them talk about it it's this then I nice finish so when you hold it it's like this and then the speakers and the screen and the camera
00:56:07
it's a tablet first but if you want to we have this sick extra thing you can do
00:56:13
which is mounted on a magnetic speaker dock and then it becomes Your Nest Hub max they're probably not going to show
00:56:19
on the website but no I'll rewatch The keynote but that's that's how I got that's how I appreciate okay so you
00:56:24
think 500 with no doc if you were thinking three like I was thinking 3.99
00:56:30
with the dock but I think I'm just so I think you and I are just so excited about it we have it in our head that it's like uh Nest Hub but you make a
00:56:37
really good point and now I'm scared should I watch it real quick I'm gonna watch this um section of the keynote just to find it real quick I'm pretty
00:56:43
sure they just said and it can mount on like I think they're very vague about it
00:56:49
definitely okay hold on it reimagines how a tablet can actually be helpful all
00:56:55
the time in your home by pairing it with a new charging speaker dock
00:57:02
by pairing it with yeah there's that many products I don't
00:57:07
see I think I could also here pair it with by saying like we're pairing it with as in like this package has it I
00:57:14
don't know it will live as a tab I don't think you're going to try to use it in your home I don't think you're going to
00:57:19
get people to buy this if every single one of them comes with a speaker dock I think people are just going to want a Google tablet period there is no good
00:57:25
Google tablet right now does anyone want a Google tablet I think some people you know I was so excited like five minutes
00:57:31
ago I think we should end this right now because I want to end this on a high note I think wait let me watch the rest of this 30 second clip one eternity
00:57:38
later the way they're talking about it is very product talk for these will be separate and we we will offer this doc
00:57:46
separately for a price okay with the pixel tablet we're taking everything we learned from years of making pixel and
00:57:52
products for the home and combining it into one great device yeah the tablet no no
00:57:59
and combining it and combining it
00:58:04
I think they ship together I don't I don't think either way but I
00:58:10
hope immensely yeah I want to be wrong but everything I'm hearing right now is there they will be separate that's a
00:58:17
well keep an eye on that it's 2023 at some point we don't know yeah that's a while away yeah interesting interesting
00:58:24
well that's the tablet although it does say battery event pairing it with the new charging speaker yeah yeah all right
00:58:30
anyway we're never gonna come together also also think of this feature you have one tablet and three different speaker
00:58:35
docs around your house and you just walk around and just pop it on when you go into the bedroom you just pop it in there yeah but then there's also just
00:58:41
like ugly speaker docs sitting around that you don't have anything which is exposed pins yeah yeah we've now turned
00:58:48
this into the most polarizing Google Google product of this is the greatest tablet of all time or the worst tablet
00:58:54
of all time no in between I didn't when they first showed off the pickle tablet I was like I could not be more
00:59:00
disinterested in this and now I'm like this is the greatest ever it's the most I've cheered at an event for like the
00:59:06
last three years all right yeah well this is what we're optimistic we're Camp optimistic let's just camp out there I'm
00:59:12
game all right well that's it that's a whole bunch of Google for one week we'll definitely have some videos on on the
00:59:18
way for you probably will see at least one of them by the time this video goes up so thanks for listening to the Pod thanks for watching and uh techtober is
00:59:28
in full swing how fast did we just cruise through September but now we're in techtober it's
00:59:33

01:01:22
one well played I'm gonna catch up with you guys and I don't know I'm not even on the same episodes okay
01:01:28
all right question number two what was Google the search engine originally
01:01:34
going to be called this one is tough okay
01:01:39
you asked for this I did David asked for this I I did
01:01:45
yeah you could have had the Chrome bit question wait
01:01:52
don't audio listeners are loving this
01:02:01

01:02:26
drink
01:02:34
I I didn't know it across the board algorithm is called the patreon yeah that's what I figured I
01:02:41
didn't know it so I went with trick question I thought it is something I would do but
01:02:48
unfortunately the original name of the search engine was called back rub oh
01:02:54
yeah that's weird so glad they won it was a reference to how Google could
01:03:01
comb the internet's backlinks the hidden links to other websites inside websites
01:03:06
so they needed background though I don't know [Music] that guy that guy got fired yeah nice
01:03:13
one Sergey they should just call it back crawl you
01:03:19
know or back home whatever all of those are terrible they're all terrible or search engine yeah that's what I would
01:03:26
have called thanks for thank you Google for being Google appreciate that name yeah picture if we a bunch of us were walking around with back rub pixels in
01:03:33
our pockets also I just Googled back rub and it just brought up a bunch of masseuse spoilers
01:03:39
yeah I mean yeah I don't know I don't know what I was expecting
01:03:46
we all learned something new I think it's usually uh at least once a week we learned something new from uh trivia so that's like mission accomplished
01:03:53
I think we ended it now thanks for listening thanks for watching see you later
