My consistent routine over the past few videos: 1) Skip to the 10 second mark. 2) Click the gear. 3) Turn annotations off. 4) Click the gear again. 5) After hearing "huge thank you to our sponsors," pause the video 6) View comments.
Or, you could just visit your youtube account's options page, DISABLE annotations there. Then, on any other videos you view from then on ya want to have to keep disabling them. I can't stand them personally.
You say you don't understand their "only" full hd resolution choice, and then you mention 2 rock solid points which justify it :) I think 1080p is more than enough for a phone screen, the battery gain is much more important.
KingHelianTheXVIII so my Chemistry teacher sent some obnoxious kids out to another teacher to find some dehydrated dihydrogen monoxide and when they got to the next teacher he sent them out to another. It took them half an hour until someone explained it to them and they came back to the class
Just ordered my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Sunday (01.11.2015). Should get my phone Friday (01.16.2015). There's 8 of us in our family, I'm the only one that's going to be using an Android phone, while everyone else is getting the iPhone 6. I've always liked Android and everything about it. Never owned an Apple product in my life, and never will. Can't wait to see how fast the 2.7Ghz quad core processor is.. etc. etc. Nice video as usual Linus, thanx. (+1 : 4,114)
I use to sell the original flex and it really wasn't popular. No one asked about them and no one has ever bought one. It also may have been because it was only for Sprint
2 TB micro SD? Do they even make them that big? The biggest I've seen is 128 GB. Talk about future proof. Dang. That's a sweet looking phone. I would love to see a review of it.
Errr I don't see SD cards getting past the 1TB mark for the next 5 years at best by which time your almost certainly going to have a new phone. A 128GB Micro SD card is really nice and I really hate phones that don't have it just to rip you off for the higher capacity phones.
I got the note 3 and about 3 to 4 months before the note 4 came out, I skipped the note 4 but I am looking for a 64bit phone, the intel SOC is what interests me for the asus phone, possible to run desktop applications? It would be helpful for me so I can show my project leads/professors CAD/3D model, some simulations and mostly MATLAB/Ansys code, etc without carrying another tablet/laptop. I wonder if the asus phone can do that?
intel atom z3580 quad core 64bit processor with 2mb cache (idk if its L3), 2.33Ghz burst freq (assuming its boost), has most desktop instruction sets, 4GB LPDDR3-1600mhz in dual channel, intel graphics clocked at 533mhz burst with 457mhz base. Hopefully installing windows 8.1 on a SD card works? Probably have to root. The screen is 5.5 inches ips 1920x1080 with 403ppi. More found on asus website, and processor info from intels website. What you think?
But it is not the same thing. Note is bigger, a fablet with a stylus. This Flex 2, just like the LG G3 is actually a normal smartphone that you can hold in one hand and work with. So if you need that stylus the Note is the only thing for you. BTW I have a gold G3 2/32GB at home, stellar phone!
Shut up about your sponsors you sell outs. EDIT That original post above was meant to as a way to start a conversation about the amount of sponsorship that is deemed reasonable by its viewers in a video. The phrasing I used is a little on the aggressive side but that's what catches peoples eyes. I wanted to get people talking on both sides of the debate. (which is not happening and which is why I am writing this) I blame myself as the original post did not give enough leeway for a debate to take place. Of course this event is NOT free. Of course anyone coming to a event like this NEEDS to raise the capital for it. I am NOT against sponsor messages. Nearly everyone uses them which is perfectly fine and I would do the same.
TotalBiscuit, The Cynical Brit Firstly I'm a fan of yours and I think you produce some amazing work here on youtube and for the gameing community. Back to the point... I'm not against anyone having sponsors, going to CES will cost money and its probably not a hobby/holiday for him anymore, its become a business, and so as a business he has to make a profit from this trip. However there comes a point where your greed for revenue will outweigh your judgement of what is reasonable. An extreme example of this would be to have sponsor/advert breaks during the video, like they do on tv or some web-players. So just to put this video in perspective as compared to adverts from national tv. This video has 1 minute dedicated to sponsors and and the remaining 3.30 minutes is actual content. That gives us 30% worth of adds/sponsors. In compared with national TV from the UK, you get 15 minutes of adverts/sponsors and 45 minutes of actual content. (which would make up a 1 hour show) That gives us 33% worth of adverts/sponsors. Sometimes its not just all about how much money you can make off the support of your audience which is what I feel is happening here with Linus. Having said all that I am still a fan of his work, but I just want him to treat his audience with a bit more consideration.
How can Tested make same and/or better content with so little advertising? I don't mind it if it is at the end, but it lasts so long, I just end the video, and I am afraid they do not get as many views as they might. I guess sponsor spots are so much better than youtube monez.
i hope phantom glass and hyperX sponsor so much money on this trip/team because 1. your channel post A LOT of vids. 2. im getting pissed for the sponsors now. btw, your team should get more credit for your amazing coverage on ces. Thank you LTT.
Flex makes more sense than the stupid S6 Edge. Also, with the G Flex, you can get a great curved phone that can bend under pressure and noting will happen to it, while the S6 Edge will bend and shatter under the same pressure an iPhone does.
Did someone do a bend test on a G3? LOL. Looks good, i wish my G3 had OLED, even if it was just 1080p... Althogh 1440p actually makes sense if you use the phone for a lot of small font reading, like forums and blogs.
I was on board with your opinions until you said selfie camera, it may be immature but I will always accept it as an inward facing camera and will never call it anything but.
I feel as though these videos are like a phantom glass sandwich, with linus in the middle. But hey, if they sent linus to CES, i dont mind listening to the ads
2 TB???? that's intense. Although, I feel like the phone is going to age poorly. A couple of months after release every other phone in its tier will have better specs.
See the problem with it, its reflecting light like mirror, getting blind outside on a sunny day when you get that beam of light right at your eyes. Smart move LG. But still it looks cool.
"don't already have smart watches" that implies that I will get one, or that I want to have one. I don't, I get one ones there's a mechanical watch with smart functions without making the watch any larger.
Jason Maki I get it bends, but with jeans on you'll have something digging into your thigh the whole time, don't think it'll be all too comfortable. Even with like sweat pants or shorts, it'll take up more room than necessary. I just think this whole curved business is a dumb and pointless gimmick with no benefit aside from maybe a more comfortable hold than holding an iphone or galaxy maybe. Interesting point on the butt thing though, would be useful for a lonely bum.

u just miss the best moment in the sponsor spot... sucks to be you
7) reply

What's number 10? We wants to know.
selfish people ......
But does phantom glass make the curved screen protectors
note edge = GG
Damian L Nice meme.
ItsDrafty Stitch is a shitty meme get rekt memerino piZzariNo
BOT Ulysses pls no bully ty ;-;
Russian Ice on screen= most durable cover ever existed.
The Oppo Find 7 was the first QHD phone. The LG G3 was the first QHD phone sold commercially in the US.
Woo Oppo!
SodaPop Culture yeah I knew I was forgetting something. dangit...
LinusTechTips REPLY TO ME PLEASE.
***** www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=6214&idPhone2=6450 Oppo Find 7 was in March, S5 LTE-A was in June.
I believe LG G3 was the first widely available (planetary available). Not to mention LG makes screens for almost everyone, including iPhones ;-)
HyperX is the shit. Thumps up if you agree!
BTW Linus the screen being 1080p is a technology limitatioin. The previous G Flex was 720p.
Love my first gen flex looking forward to the second gen now
LOL that guy at 4:00, he just looks, then realizes what you are doing then walks away. His face was so priceless.
You say you don't understand their "only" full hd resolution choice, and then you mention 2 rock solid points which justify it :) I think 1080p is more than enough for a phone screen, the battery gain is much more important.
You see those guys from CES 2015? They've got curved phones. Curved. Phones.
Also on side note, I wonder how toxic that self healing tech is.
Manslayer reference
Saul Nunez toxic as dihydrogen monoxide
KingHelianTheXVIII so my Chemistry teacher sent some obnoxious kids out to another teacher to find some dehydrated dihydrogen monoxide and when they got to the next teacher he sent them out to another. It took them half an hour until someone explained it to them and they came back to the class
THNX LINUS!!
LG G Flex 2 or LG G3? (both with 3GB RAM)
2TB micro SDs! Love that back facing speaker.
Looks like it would be a nice fit for a VR mounting of sorts, clone your in game display, pretty sure that is possible now. What you rate?
Awesome videos Linus, always concise and super informative.
linus your voice sounds so shot, hope you didn't lose it over the time you were at CES
Hey Linus just wanted to say that I really enjoy your videos thanks for making awesome videos you have taught me allot about technology thanks man
The snapdragon 810 is 4 high power and 4 low power cores. Cortex 57 and 53 i believe x4
They call it Octa core but only 4 cores can run at a time.
"... that's not how it happened at all."
I literally laughed out loud... best phrase ever

Nice video as usual Linus, thanx. (+1 : 4,114)
Note 4 or this? What do you guys think?
Do you know where I can get a good screen protector or recommend any specific brands?
***** Interesting. Never heard of them before. I'll check them out thanks! /s
I use to sell the original flex and it really wasn't popular. No one asked about them and no one has ever bought one. It also may have been because it was only for Sprint
the oppo find 7 was the first to have a 1440p screen. the g3 came a month later.
2 TB micro SD? Do they even make them that big? The biggest I've seen is 128 GB. Talk about future proof. Dang.
That's a sweet looking phone. I would love to see a review of it.
BUT WHERE IS THAT COOL PHANTOM GLASS VIDEO YOU PROMISED??
Are phantom glass acutally good? or just other way of marketing
good
Really wish phantom glass had a US store.
'Big shitout' Oh Linus... Only you and your sponsors :3
@ 1:02 *biting lips* thinking: "O shet, must not distuub Rinus! Ninja Crouch!" xD
This small? lol its funny how our perception of phones change just after the market is flooded with bigger phones 5.5 inches is small now ? haha
but where talking about a phone dude
I was saying in general I was not talking about what he was talking about. Your assuming sir.
k
I'm glad that shit wasn't censored Linus. I am very proud of you :)
Errr I don't see SD cards getting past the 1TB mark for the next 5 years at best by which time your almost certainly going to have a new phone. A 128GB Micro SD card is really nice and I really hate phones that don't have it just to rip you off for the higher capacity phones.
should make a a self healing screen protector too?
Sorry linus but oppo had the first 2K display with their find 7, not LG.
IMO it should be curved horizontally instead.
Just so you know, it was Oppo who made the first 1440p phone with the Find 7, not LG.
Is there any Samsung G6 at the show??
That phone will look so awesome with phantom glass
more then 1080p? my phone doesnt have more then 540p. Its cheap but actually really good
Hey Linus, could you let me know who your sponsors are again, I can't remember who they were?
okay I was curious
if you put your games on SD card,will it becomes laggy,or no difference at all?
When exactly did "selfie-cam" become and thing and when will it hopefully end?
After G Flex 2, G Flex UltraWide?
Lol, I only watch these videos to look at the people in the background who look into the camera, become shocked and quickly move away ha ha ha
"Speaking of not damaging things"
You are the most charming, funniest, smoothest jackass I know
Is the self healing back kind of like memory foam?
Worth an upgrade over note 3? or the asus one is better? hmmm
Note 4 was the phone of 2014.
I got the note 3 and about 3 to 4 months before the note 4 came out, I skipped the note 4 but I am looking for a 64bit phone, the intel SOC is what interests me for the asus phone, possible to run desktop applications? It would be helpful for me so I can show my project leads/professors CAD/3D model, some simulations and mostly MATLAB/Ansys code, etc without carrying another tablet/laptop. I wonder if the asus phone can do that?
did ya look it up?
intel atom z3580 quad core 64bit processor with 2mb cache (idk if its L3), 2.33Ghz burst freq (assuming its boost), has most desktop instruction sets, 4GB LPDDR3-1600mhz in dual channel, intel graphics clocked at 533mhz burst with 457mhz base.

Curved screens does sound like they are scraping the bottom of the ideas barrel, but haven't seen them in person so will reserve judgement.
Shut up about your sponsors you sell outs.

No sponsors = no videos. If there were no videos you would be complaining as well.
STOP DOING YOUR JOB! JOB GUY!
TotalBiscuit, The Cynical Brit Nicely put:D
TotalBiscuit, The Cynical Brit Hey TB, you know you shouldn't be in the comments section, it's unhealthy, and we care about you.
TotalBiscuit, The Cynical Brit Firstly I'm a fan of yours and I think you produce some amazing work here on youtube and for the gameing community. Back to the point...

Wouldn't a curved phone be more prone to getting damaged in your pocket?
I think 1080p is just fine on phones of that size.
What good is a curved phone when you cant apply phantom glass?
Maybe it looks better in person but the back just looks so glossy. I feel like a matte finish would look way better.
FINALLY THEY GO BACK TO 1080P.
The g3 was an abysmal phone because of the ludicrous resolution. Slower than my Optimus G.
why are there 2gb / 3gb ram of 32gb versions , are the 3 gb ram version available in everywhere?
How can Tested make same and/or better content with so little advertising? I don't mind it if it is at the end, but it lasts so long, I just end the video, and I am afraid they do not get as many views as they might. I guess sponsor spots are so much better than youtube monez.

pls do a full review
do they even make 2TB micro sd cards?
Flex makes more sense than the stupid S6 Edge. Also, with the G Flex, you can get a great curved phone that can bend under pressure and noting will happen to it, while the S6 Edge will bend and shatter under the same pressure an iPhone does.
Did someone do a bend test on a G3? LOL. Looks good, i wish my G3 had OLED, even if it was just 1080p... Althogh 1440p actually makes sense if you use the phone for a lot of small font reading, like forums and blogs.
yup unboxtherapy did a bend test of it :D
Omg the two guys arround 4 mins when they saw he was recording. Their faces xD
2tera bytes..? can i play ps4 games or xbox games in the phone?
Does phantom glass have a screen protector for this?
So how about phantom glass on a curved screen...
since when is the front facing camera called selfie camera?
I was on board with your opinions until you said selfie camera, it may be immature but I will always accept it as an inward facing camera and will never call it anything but.
Pause at 3:59 that old man didn't know what was going on
They were second with 1440p phones, Oppo Find 7 was first
I feel as though these videos are like a phantom glass sandwich, with linus in the middle. But hey, if they sent linus to CES, i dont mind listening to the ads
guys. one of the app on the iphone LinusTechTips has is Clash of Clans..............
Linus: Do you know who I am?
LG guy: No idea
Linus: Good *grabs the phone and runs away*
How does one acquire a 2tb microSD card?
2 TB???? that's intense.
Although, I feel like the phone is going to age poorly. A couple of months after release every other phone in its tier will have better specs.
"One of the things that I noticed right away when I PICKED IT UP"
are there even a 2TB mircoSD Card?
Hi +LinusTechTips
I love u linus
See the problem with it, its reflecting light like mirror, getting blind outside on a sunny day when you get that beam of light right at your eyes. Smart move LG. But still it looks cool.
Oh god why are they letting him pick-up things again...
Wait wait wait. 2TB storage? This sounds amazing!
Can u do a best laptops of ces 2015 video?
"don't already have smart watches" that implies that I will get one, or that I want to have one. I don't, I get one ones there's a mechanical watch with smart functions without making the watch any larger.
LINUS IS FROM CANADA????
2TB sd, sure.. thats not an overkill
Damn Luke is tall, just towering there in the background...
Hopefully LG installed a 1080p display on the phone because they realized that 1080p is all that is needed.
Curved phone? Gonna be great in the pocket, esp if wearing jeans... -.-
is that a banana in your pocket
it bends, plus it could kinda hug your butt a little if you had it in the back pocket
Jason Maki I get it bends, but with jeans on you'll have something digging into your thigh the whole time, don't think it'll be all too comfortable. Even with like sweat pants or shorts, it'll take up more room than necessary. I just think this whole curved business is a dumb and pointless gimmick with no benefit aside from maybe a more comfortable hold than holding an iphone or galaxy maybe. Interesting point on the butt thing though, would be useful for a lonely bum.
SlavjanA Wouldn't you not have that problem if you had the screen pointing outwards?
curved swords?
Bad move with the Phantom Glass, Linus.
Why? Linus DOESN'T advertise products that don't work as advertised. It's that simple.
How is it a bad move?
Haha well because a lot of people are hating on him for it, I'd say that's generally a negative. Personally I don't care about it, but many do.
Video ends at 3:42
"Shitout" :D :D :D LoL Linus.. That was great.. I almost fell down from my chair :D
Linus was talking shit about HyperX.
At last the perfect phone for me; klutz-proof!?!
&B^{D?
I knew the day would come when Linus just started shitting out advertisements.
Rear facing speakers :/
I can only dream how it feels like to play fps games on that
Shitout to my boys at HyperX! :^)
1080p is fine
Nothing like a quick Shitout Roflol. Oh to funny love it thanks for the info and no editing posting is great lol
annnd, no front facing speakers. after getting a device that has front facing speakers, i don't think i can go back.
