We got the latest devices.

These things just got announced.

So as you could tell, no retail boxes yet these are the sample devices in a couple of different colors.

Of course, the exciting color is over here on the right hand side, this is a or a glow.

And I don't know if you can pick this up, Jack, but, I mean, that thing is totally glowing.

Course this one with the glass back, wireless charging wireless power share and so forth.

So the different part here compared to other note launches like the Note nine, for example, with the note 10 we're gonna have two different versions to choose from.

You've got the No.

10 sort of standard, which is the smaller form factor.

And then you have a No.

10 plus, which scales up the note series even further and also adds a couple of hardware upgrades.

The black version.

It's also called aura or a black as because, Yes, it's sort of, um, or standard taste.

I think they're also gonna be a white one, will just for sort of special retail situations or certain markets or white.

Okay, so we don't have that one represented.

But there's gonna be another one as well.

If you look closely, you can tell there's a slight difference between the standard note and the bigger note that is this little extra camera lens here in the center.

I believe that's a time of flight sensor.

So that adds to the triple camera array that you see on the left hand side.

This is going to give you in ultra wide standard and a zoom, So the actual camera specifications 16 megapixels F two to ultra wide.

You have 12 megapixel F 15 to 4 with optical image stabilization, and you have 12 megapixel F 2.1 for the telephoto.

Also, I'm noticing that the camera hump doesn't stick out too far.

It's sort of in line with what you'd expect with this degree of cameras installed.

Now, of course, it's the note serious.

So you got you got the pen included on all these devices.

Apparently, it's a new design.

Will was telling me it's a unibody construction, so I guess it's a little more sturdy.

This one is in its cool kind of kronish, bluish purple ish color going on.

It's got the button on the top, as you could tell.

Okay?

And it does.

I mean, it feels sturdy.

That's what I was curious about when rumors first started circulating that there was gonna be two different form factors.

I was like, That's kind of strange because the note's Siri's is sort of made its name being the biggest device.

I'll be back in the day when the first note Siri's launched people were like, That's crazy.

Who would ever carry that?

They had come up with crazy words like Phablet.

You don't hear that and more, obviously, but now we have to.

So it kind of it's a bit confusing from that standpoint on like, Well, what?

What does the note really represent?

But of course, they did the same thing that pretty much every other line up is doing in adding this plus model to just provide greater variation.

So I think the power users are gonna go for for the plus model, and then maybe the more budget conscious or people who really value singlehanded portability functionality.

They might go for the standard version as well.

But we should talk about someone.

Was hardware differences between the two.

The battery on the little guy comes in at 1,003,500 powers, whereas the big one is 1,004,300 powers.

So it is a kind of the numbers you would expect for flagship device along these lines on this big guy's gonna be 38 40.

So w qhd plus on the little guy, it's f h d plus.

So as you know what, these types of devices, a lot of the battery life is consumed by the display and the pixels that are being pushed.

That said, you can go into the O.

S on these galaxy devices previous galaxy devices and pick your resolution for for the various attributes you may want to select for You want better battery life, you could toggle back the effective resolution.

And so this is where you're gonna notice the other sort of distinctive characteristic of this device, which is what they're calling the infinity.

Oh, display.

That's this hole punch top here.

So the whole the whole punch thing started with the previous ass Siri's devices, but they put it up to the side.

It was in the top right corner, which I didn't mind, I thought, Okay, this is an area where you've got some screen real estate to work with, that kind of under utilized to begin with in the top right corner.

So I was like, That makes sense to put it up there.

I made the argument for at that time.

That said, from a design perspective, it wasn't symmetrical.

In this case, the hole punch has gotten smaller.

Of course, it's a single camera cut out, as opposed to the plus model of the S series, which was a duel from facing camera cut out.

It's a pretty aggressive screen to body ratio.

There's a tiny little chin year, tiny little forehead and basil around the edges.

You have the typical screen last freeing curvature happening on the sides.

But one thing I'm liking straightaway is the fact that the vessel is near identical on the sides and top and only ever so slightly thicker on the bottom.

So you don't have this effect where you're like noticing the fact that there's a chin on the device.

So the devices are now both set up, and this is your first glimpse into the display.

I mean, is kind of what you expect.

These are maxed out on brightness right now and actually quite comparable.

This one on the left is 6.8 inches, and this is 6.3 now, having handled them to set them up.

I do have to say the little one is super comfy, so it's a bit unfortunate that you have to take a step down from a specifications perspective that said, You step up to the big guy and there's some advantages here as well.

If you're a power user and so forth, you know, you get your YouTube open.

I don't know which one more people are going up for.

Obviously, there's also the cost component.

They're both gonna be expensive.

Not that we expected anything different.

So 9 50 to start on the little guy and 1100 to start on the big one.

Now, to be honest, when I first started talking about these devices of rumors and leaks started to come out, I was like this one made may break some price barriers.

So somehow, even with an $1100 starting price on a big one, actually, I kind of think I expected it to be a little bit more, Which is strange because we're just living in this $1000 plus smartphone universe right now.

Now you can suspect this one out.

Presumably the five G version is gonna be even more than that.

But nonetheless, 1100 bucks, 900 bucks?

You didn't expect otherwise.

Obviously, I should also mention considering were here in Canada.

That's where the studio is based.

You have Canadian prices as well.

For these devices.

You have 14 59 for the big guy in 12.

59 for the little guy.

Now, both of these support 25 watt.

Fast charging.

But with the bigger one, you can actually charge up to 45 lot.

So it is 45 watt capable.

But you will need to buy a separate charger in order to take advantage of that.

They do have wireless charging as well and wireless power sharing so you can tap together and charge one another.

Oh, I almost forgot the other difference.

This is an important one.

If you are that power user that I referenced earlier 12 Gigs of Ram versus Eight Gigs of Ram.

Okay, there, let's do what we usually do.

Let's get a quick reference here on the speaker quality.

Always test the speakers.

It's important to me, most cash rich company.

Oh, wow.

All right, so maybe you get, like, a nice That's ah, I'm happy with, you know, it's got some low engineer, which is typically what I'm looking for its firing from multiple locations.

So up around the ear piece and, uh, and also from the bottom, you know, most of the sound, especially the base component out of the bottom one, you don't see a lot of they never took off.

Really.

This is what your black bars look like.

But if I go ahead and doom in, if I zoom in, this should give you an idea of how you what it looks like when you fill the frame.

I mean, it's a small hole punch.

It's definitely an improvement on a notch, in my opinion, but you can get a sense for it right there.

We'll find you have a small hole punch here, but like when it was up in the corner was kind of a bit more out of the way.

And that's true.

That's a bit of a trade off there, particularly when you're watching fully zoomed in video, you mean you could see against a white background?

Got this bill black dot right here, where this really has its benefits is when you're in the phone as a phone and not necessarily within a video, where the symmetry just sort of makes sense to your brain to your head.

Like as you can see, your WiFi battery life and so forth.

They're almost the exact same height as this particular hole punch, and so that I don't know there is something pleasing about the layout.

At least the idea this one being in a more typical location in the center gives you sort of the perfect framing for a selfie.

I'll go ahead.

Actually, now would be a good time to showcase that.

Okay, so it does have a wide setting, but it's the same camera, so it's it's just a crop.

By the looks of it, HDR is on, but otherwise I think it's in its original status.

Let's do what we do.

There's a little glimmer in the eye, none of the highlights or not blown out.

It goes beyond the actual beard hairs on that test.

I mean, you could pick up the port.

I look for the detail.

Now I'll go ahead and turn off the HDR, though it's on by default.

I think most people are going to use it.

It's going to save you from that highlight blowout that happens frequently.

You know you're in the sunlight and whatnot.

So if HDR is now off, it did not struggle, either.

Maybe in the tip of my nose, there is a slightly more of a highlight.

But I mean, that's it.

That's a nice That's just that's just a nice looking from facing.

I mean, I didn't expect it to not be able to perform in this department, but that's a satisfying performance.

I'm happy with that.

Okay, now, what about the rear camera?

We should also get a sense right now for the different focal ranges that are available.

So the very first, of course, this is the standard mode Boom.

This is your wide 0.5 and this is your telephoto Frame it up.

Boom!

All right, so telephoto.

Giving you this field of view wide, giving you tremendous field of view as expected.

And then the standard, The standard one looks great.

Who the wide is very sharp.

So to put this in comparison, I think the last smartphone I shot, I noticed that the wide was substantially less sharp, particularly in the center of the frame when compared to the standard vocal range or the default Cameron.

The device.

That's one area where I've noticed some discrepancy with these multi camera smartphones.

Contrast saturation white balance across the different cameras when you switch between them.

But as you can tell here, these are all pretty interchangeable like you.

They're performing in a similar fashion in those various departments.

Of course, you have the pro mode.

If you want to get crazy change.

I also change your white balance auto focus and And what now?

If you want to do that independently, you could dive in there.

There's also a night mode baked in All right, lights going out real quick.

We are effectively pitch black, but the phone is definitely not.

I'm telling you, with pitch black in here, I mean, not to you.

You see the shadows somehow look at the detail.

It's incredible.

In video stabilization here called Super Steady, Let's do just I don't know, let's do a quick clip.

I'm a moving around.

Try to screw it up a little bit.

Let's get this way.

Lost that little figures put this lens ring Wow, like a steady can.

I mean, pretty steady to me.

Super steady.

They are right.

That is incredibly super steady.

I mean, you would probably want to test this running about jogging about out in public, But here in the studio, it looks pretty promising.

Of course, it's also got the ultrasonic fingerprint pulled from the S.

Siri's, the S line up, and I mean, it works the same way.

32 It's fast.

I like the fact that they didn't go overboard with the animation.

And that's another area, I should say.

Like Samsung's come a long way in the skin department from the days of touchwiz to the one you I for his NBC.

How you do the double dragged there, and all of a sudden you get this advanced sort of one handed functionality.

Hence the one you I And there you have.

It means it is an exciting new phone.

I think it's for a particular client.

Obviously, we know that these represent some of the most premium devices on the market.

Most importantly, from a price perspective, and that's really gold conversation, a smartphone game These days I find myself talking about price so much because you're able to go out there in Select me, even from Samsung themselves.

You could go pick in a series now and say, Look, that's enough.

That's good enough for me And he's at the top end are increasingly becoming luxury devices.

So you need to decide, like, Is that extra money?
