    22:15 as Marques mentioned the market it is primarily targeted towards is India and NFC payments are not a thing here, we have UPI (scan a QR code > enter pin > payment done) so NFC is not required here so it is a pretty sweet device which looks gorgeous. Anutosh touched upon the point of UPI. 25:01

    • @deepakbisht4957
      @deepakbisht4957 23 дні тому

      True primary target is UPI as you only need QR Code that you can put that thing as a sticker or even in your phone gallery and you don't need any hardware for card swipe, dip or tap to pay.
      But I mostly use Samsung's Tap to Pay as most of the cafes, coffee house and grocery shows have swiping machine and Samsung tap to pay does payment in just one tap...
      So it comes handy for me instead of opening Upi app first, then Scanning Qr code and then enter pin and all.
      I know these takes just 30 seconds and it's easy to done but tap to pay using nfc is faster.
      I mostly use QR code based upi in small shops and it's a game changer as everyone has upi option and I don't need to carry wallet and cash.
      I just need my phone woth 20 percent battery and I can do anywhere in India without facing any problem...

    So the S8 display was called infinity display because of the switch to the 18.5:9 aspect ratio along with the curved edges becoming standard across the board. Up until that point Samsung used to do an edge variant of whatever S phone they released for example S6 and S6 Edge, S7 and S7 Edge, and the Note Edge came a year before the S6 along with the Note 4.

    ISO 14443 is a standard designed for proximity or contactless smart card communication. It typically uses a 13.56MHz radio frequency that only transmits digital data within a short range - about 4 centimeters or less - beyond, the signal is too weak. It can never exceed 10 centimeters."

    Regarding infinity display and edges:
    S6 edge had the curve on both sides, it didn't start with the S8. On the other hand, the S8 (alongside the LG G6) had the display nearing the top and bottom edges (before moving the front-facing camera to the inside of the screen with the S10 which enabled them to actually "reach" the edges), which is why they called it infinity display.

      The best thing is UPI is broad. It is actually integrated woth banking systems and you can even do financial transactions.

      In fairness, when it comes to tablets, thinner and lighter matters a bit more.
      My Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is like 5mm thick, and as a result, it's still kinda usable handheld despite its ~15 inch screen. Mind you I got that size to use it primarily like a laptop/monitor and it's infrequent I actually use it handheld rather than tabletop, but the fact it's only like a pound and a half makes it a lot more usable handheld than if it were a couple mm thicker and weighed 2 pounds.
      Phones, though? I genuinely cannot see the point.

    For the knob on the case, I can see that. At my job, I spend a lot of time in "headphone" activities, doing things I don't need to interact with anyone. I usually leave my phone at my desk and wear my headphones as I wander our warehouse (about 5000 square feet). If the case is half, or a quarter of the weight of my Note 10 plus (don't shame me, it still works like a champ), I'd be giddy about it. My earphones are a pain to adjust volume on, so this would be cool.

    NFC is huge for college students, at least in the US. Our campus student IDs are done via smartphone primarily. Most use them to swipe into dining halls and buildings as well. There is an option for a physical card but it’s very rare to see someone with one

  • @krosskinetic
    @krosskinetic 23 дні тому +3

    I am from India, but living in the US right now and so yeah i think Zelle is pretty much what UPI is trying to do. The only difference I can see is UPI is more "open source protocol" whereas Zelle is owned by (i think) chase? So the protocol for zelle is closed source and they have a monopoly over the protocol. HOWEVER, I do find NFC far better because 1) UPI doesn't work with Credit Card...you need NFC Tap to Pay for that 2) If you have NFC Tap to Pay for credit card, may as well have it for phones too! Simplify everything instead of having so many different protocols 3) NFC is slightly faster than scanning a QR Code (which UPI relies on for merchant payments)

    • @screenoholic

      If you are talking about credit card then there is rupay credit card that upi supports. I don't know why UPI is nkt supporting Visa and Master card. Maybe because Rupay is indian...

    Issue with the watch is it’s fine for Apple to only work on Apple because Apple had way way way more sales then Samsung phones. Now android based phones compared to Apple is a different story but they didn’t make it work on all android phones well they made it work on just a tiny fraction of android phones well. This is a huge flaw.
    And again this isn’t a issue for Apple as Apple may be one brand but as a brand and OS their market share is insanely larger than just Samsung

    • @toptiertech7291

      No. Apple is worth more. Samsung sells more total phones most years. They offer so many $150-200 phones and in places like Africa where so many people are very poor they sell a lot. For comparison Apple sold 232 million phones in 2022. Samsung sold 259 million phones. 27 million phones is a lot. So Samsung has more users. The problem is that most of those phones Samsung sold cost less the watch so very few of their users will buy one. It’s the same way with most Android devices. That’s why the Apple Watch dominates. Most Android users own very cheap phones

    I believe android beam did not require the devices to keep touching within nfc range. NFC paired the devices and used Bluetooth to complete the transfer.
    S Beam was the Samsung extension of Android beam that used wifi direct after pairing for faster transfers.
    I do wish quick share had the option to use NFC for the initial handshake as sometimes it takes a while to detect the target device.

However, testing "all" phones comes down to his job as a reviewer. I doubt Brownlee signed an NDA-equivalent for reviews. Apple even used one of Brownlee's quotes in marketing affairs, and Brownlee did not like that, but it was public knowledge at that point. I digress. It would have been nice to hear a 1-minute mention of Rossman in the lengthy video cast because I enjoy channel crossovers. Thanks for your reply.

Sure, creators are seeded review samples, but most people have the integrity to review with not just lie or side with the company in hopes they can get more products in the future. I was under the impression Louis was focused on reviewers talking to companies though, not how they review products. I mean the video with Tim Apple was rushed at the end it just felt like a critical question was cut. That and the content is why people think that there’s something off there. As for reviews, no one is gonna side with a company to stay on good terms. Just like most 2mil+ creators, people are gonna watch even if you’re late or on time

In my experience, it's gotten really good at auto detecting activities (it's honestly one of my biggest gripes with the Apple Watch is how u have to log the workout without just suggesting you start a workout), YMMV.

    Adam, you might be able to get around the ring issue for working out, by getting a Garmin heart rate chest strap (HRM Pro +) that has bluetooth. Connect the chest strap to a phone. I can't recall if you can start activity tracking from the phone or if you need a garmin device to start that activity. Either way the strap stores all the info during your workout, and syncs it to the phone after your done. No need to sync it to a watch.

    Explanation:
    You want to send a photo through quick share, you turn on Bluetooth, location and all that, but your friend doesn't have any of that enabled (he just might not care), so you can tap two phones back to back and your friend gets the "choose who to be visible to" dialog to pop up on their phone.
