  • - Hey guys, this is Austin.

  • And today it's time for the best of CES.

  • First we have the Royole FlexPai.

  • This is the first commercially available

  • foldable smart phone,

  • so you actually can buy one of these right now,

  • and the entire thing is built around

  • a super thin OLED panel,

  • so the actual display itself

  • is a 7.8 inch OLED

  • with a 1920 by 1440 resolution.

  • It's not exactly the sharpest

  • or the crispiest thing in the world,

  • but considering that it is a flexible phone,

  • I can give it just a little bit

  • of props there for, you know, actually working.

  • Even though the display is so thin,

  • it actually feels reasonably sturdy.

  • A big part of that is that the hinge

  • actually does have a lot of strength to it,

  • and on top of that it does have magnets

  • so when you close up the phone,

  • it does stay flat.

  • Now it does actually kind of fit in the pocket,

  • although just like the Surface Book,

  • it doesn't actually go completely flat.

  • You do have a little bit of a book shape.

  • What's cool about this is this is actually

  • on sale right now.

  • Now at $1,300, probably not a lot

  • of people are on board,

  • but it is really cool to see

  • something like this,

  • which even though it's in a little bit

  • of a rough state right now,

  • it's actually coming out.

  • I feel like this in a couple years

  • is going to be super cool.

  • Uh, RED Hydrogen.

  • - [Ken] Really?

  • - Yeah.

  • - [Ken] Are you sure?

  • - Yeah, look.

  • It's cool.

  • The main issue is is that it doesn't quite

  • have that level of polish, right?

  • The hardware is decent,

  • but especially the software

  • has a lot of bugs,

  • and of course it's an early unit,

  • but this is something that's shipping right now.

  • It tries to detect sort of

  • if I'm using it from one side or the other,

  • but in my experience,

  • it just wasn't particularly smooth

  • or worked well.

  • Next up is the Honor View 20.

  • Now this bypasses the standard

  • notch of 2018, or what is known

  • as a hole punch display.

  • The front facing camera

  • is literally right in the middle of the screen.

  • Or well I guess in the corner of the screen.

  • Personally, I don't really mind

  • notches all that much,

  • unless it's something like the Pixel 3XL,

  • but I will say that something like

  • the OnePlus XT is probably

  • closer to what a lot of people will appreciate.

  • Now this does have a little bit

  • of a cutout, which means stuff

  • like the status bar does come down a little bit,

  • so in reality it's actually

  • not a huge difference than having a notch,

  • but you still get to get rid of the bezels,

  • as far as watching video content,

  • it's not quite as much of an obstruction.

  • There's a lot more going

  • for the View 20 than just the display though.

  • First of all, it has a really cool

  • laser edged finish on the back,

  • which I personally think looks cool,

  • and on top of that, it has some serious specs.

  • Around back, you have a 48 megapixel camera,

  • and that is augmented

  • by a 24 megapixel camera up front.

  • That my friends is a lot of pixels.

  • So if it is in the same 500 dollar price range

  • as its predecessor, you're getting a lot here.

  • 4000 milliamp hour battery.

  • You got that Kirin 980,

  • and the headphone jack.

  • No, when you talk about CES,

  • especially this year,

  • there are so many displays,

  • so first of all we took a look

  • at some of the stuff that LG

  • has cooking up.

  • So not only do they have

  • a fully rollable OLED,

  • so when you're not using it,

  • it can just disappear,

  • and on top of that,

  • they have a killer looking 88 inch 8K OLED.

  • What's also impressive is the Samsung QLED 8K.

  • So 8K is actually a little bit

  • of a buzzy thing this year at CES.

  • There's quite a few TVs around,

  • and the Samsung one is seriously impressive.

  • It is a massive 98 inches.

  • Even if you look past the size,

  • what you're getting is such

  • a bright and clear picture.

  • The dynamic range,

  • in especially some of the really bright areas,

  • was super, super impressive.

  • I've gotta say, I've seen a lot

  • of really cool TVs here at CES,

  • but some of these 8K units

  • from both LG as well as Samsung

  • are way, way better than I expected.

  • Last year, Samsung showed off the Wall,

  • the first foray into micro LED,

  • but this year it's pretty much

  • ready for prime time.

  • All it is is a series of panels

  • that you can put together,

  • and what's really nice about this

  • is it does give you a lot of flexibility.

  • So yes, it's not quite as nice looking

  • as something like that 8K QLED,

  • but especially when you have a giant,

  • giant display of them,

  • it looks really impressive.

  • Now if you haven't had enough of 8K yet,

  • well how about a camera to shoot it

  • that doesn't cost $50,000?

  • Well that's what Sharp has.

  • So this is a mirrorless camera

  • that has a micro four thirds sensor.

  • Definitely a little bit on the small side,

  • but the idea here is that

  • for less than $5,000,

  • you have a consumer-ish camera

  • that can shoot that full 8K video.

  • Now Sharp says that it will be able

  • to do this onto an SD card,

  • so if you wanna light your SD card on fire

  • with 8K footage, I guess that'll be nice,

  • but the important thing about this

  • is that it is still slightly a concept.

  • They'll be showing a more final version

  • a little bit later in the year,

  • but this is something that should be

  • on sale this year.

  • My main concern though is that because it has

  • that micro four thirds sensor,

  • what kind of lenses are you going to be able

  • to put on it that will be able to resolve

  • full 8K detail?

  • I mean that's something like

  • well north of 30 megapixels.

  • And that's a lot.

  • That's sharp, so, oh I said sharp.

  • Oh, sorry.

  • Next up, NVIDIA has the BFGD

  • Omen Emperium X 65.

  • It stands for big format, okay?

  • It stands for big format gaming display.

  • Get your minds out of the gutter.

  • Now when you're talking about specs,

  • this thing has it all.

  • 65 inch HDR display.

  • It's a full 4K.

  • It runs at 144 hertz.

  • It has G-Sync, and it costs $5,000.

  • So it's a cool idea,

  • and essentially this is a giant gaming TV,

  • which is a little bit more on the monitor side.

  • It does have an NVIDIA SHIELD built in,

  • but I mean if you really want

  • the ultimate gaming display, this is probably it.

  • Or you could buy a car.

  • Coming back down to earth,

  • we have the Samsung Space Monitor.

  • Now there are two sizes, a 27 inch 1440p,

  • as well as a 32 inch 4K,

  • but what's really cool about these

  • is not necessarily the displays but the stands.

  • So what's cool about it

  • is that it's super flexible.

  • You can drop it all the way down.

  • You can pull it forward.

  • You can push it back.

  • There's a lot of flexibility here,

  • which is nice to see.

  • Monitors have been kind of boring lately.

  • The Space Monitor is actually available

  • on Amazon right now for pre order.

  • I'll have a link in the description,

  • but what is not available just yet

  • is the Razor Raptor.

  • Now we did cover this in our Razor video,

  • but essentially to catch you up,

  • this is a 27 inch 1440p high refresh rate

  • FreeSync display, with a really cool stand

  • and some interesting functions,

  • but it's also 700 dollars, so yeah.

  • LG also had a brand new ultra light monitor,

  • with a massive 49 inch size.

  • Now the name of it

  • is the LG 49WL95C 49 inch Ultra Wide monitor.

  • (exhales)

  • What's cool about this though

  • is it is not only a giant, giant screen,

  • but importantly it's basically a pair

  • of 2560 by 1440p monitors stuck together.

  • So with a 5K by 1440 resolution,

  • this is going to be awesome for gaming.

  • It's not going to be out just quite yet,

  • but you better believe I'm gonna

  • get my hands on one to take a video of.

  • NVIDIA took CES as a great opportunity

  • to finally announce RTX for laptops,

  • so there are a few options right now.

  • There's RTX 2080, 2070,

  • as well as 2060, as well as the various

  • Max-Q implementations, and there are a ton

  • of laptops that are updated at the show.

  • If it's time for you to maybe consider

  • upgrading a gaming laptop,

  • this is probably

  • a really good time to do so.

  • There are way too many designs

  • for me to go over in one video,

  • but some of my highlights

  • were definitely the Razor Blade,

  • which can go all the way up

  • to a 2080 Max-Q.

  • Also side note, the Razor Blade

  • is getting a full 240 hertz display option soon

  • as well as a 4K OLED touch screen.

  • I'm excited about that.

  • But on top of that, Asus showed off

  • the ridiculous ROG Mothership concept.

  • I say concept, but this is actually something

  • that will be shipping very shortly

  • in the next few months.

  • What you're getting here

  • is essentially the ultimate

  • gaming grade Surface Pro,

  • so it has a kickstand.

  • It has a keyboard which pops out

  • and is detachable.

  • But inside it has the specs

  • of the most ridiculous,

  • over the top gaming laptop

  • you can imagine.

  • There's a lot more

  • graphics action than that, though.

  • So on top of the RTX 2060,

  • which is finally on sale.

  • $350 is a little bit expensive,

  • but it is roughly equivalent

  • to something like a 1070 Ti,

  • and on top of that, AMD surprised everyone

  • with the announcement of Radeon 7.

  • Now this is essentially an upgraded version

  • of the current Vega architecture

  • on a 7-nanometer process,

  • and at $700, it is meant to go head to head

  • with that RTX 2080,

  • so we'll see exactly how it performs

  • when it comes out early next month,

  • but it is really cool to see

  • all of this momentum.

  • It was a little bit of a,

  • not gonna say boring year last year,

  • for the most part, but it's nice to see

  • all of these different graphics cards

  • and all of these different options

  • showing up in the market.

  • It is a good thing for everyone.

  • Third generation Ryzen also made an appearance,

  • so that brings a lot of power

  • into a 7-nanometer process.

  • It should be roughly equivalent

  • to a Core i9 with less power,

  • which is exciting, and on top of that,

  • Digital Storm had one of the smallest

  • gaming computers I have ever seen.

  • I mean I guess there's like

  • laptops and stuff, but.

  • Oh hi.

  • - What's up? Is that you?

  • - That is definitely me.

  • - This guy's a legend right here.

  • Keep doing what you're doing.

  • - Excellent, thank you.

- Hey guys, this is Austin.
