Best of CES 2019! #Helpful Post

ey guys this is Austin and today it's

time for the best of CES first we have

the Royal flex PI this is the first

commercially available foldable

smartphone 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 seven

point eight inch OLED with a 1920 by

1440 resolution it's not exactly the

sharpest or crispiest thing in the world

but can saying 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 the hinge actually

does have a lot of strength to it and on

top of that it does have magnet so when

you close up the phone it does stay flat

now it is actually kind of fit in a

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

letters probably not a lot of people are

on board but it is really cool to see

something like this which even though

it's a little bit of a rough state right

now it's actually coming out I feel like

this a couple years is going to be super

cool

red hydrogen really yeah yeah look it's

cool the main issue is is that 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 this is

something that shipping right now it

tries to detect sort of like you know 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 for

what is known as a hole punch display

the front facing camera is literally

right in the middle of the screen or I

guess in the corner of the string

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 u1 plus 60 is probably

closer to what a lot of people will

appreciate now this does have a little

bit of a cutout which means that 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 like watching video

content it's not quite as much of an

obstruction there is a lot more going

for the view 20 than just the display

though first of all it has a really cool

laser etched finish on the back which I

personally think looks cool 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

price range as its predecessor you're

getting a lot here four thousand

milliamp hour battery you've got that

curing 980 and the headphone jack now

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 now I do

it 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 Hewlett

8k so 8k is actually a little bit of a

buzzy thing this year at CES there's

quite a few TVs around but the Samsung

one is seriously impressive it is a

massive ninety eight inches even if you

look past the size what you're getting

is such a bright and clear picture the

dynamic range especially some of the

really bright areas was super super

impressive I've got to say I've seen a

lot of cool TVs here at CES

some of these 8k units from both LG as

well as Samsung are way way better than

I expected

last year's Samsung showed off the wall

their first foray into micro LED but

this year it's pretty much ready for

primetime 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 8kq LED 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 4/3

sensor depth a little bit on the small

side the idea here is that for less than

five thousand dollars you have a

consumer ish camera that can shoot that

full 8k video now sharp says they will

be able to do this onto an SD card so if

you want to 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

will 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 it

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 that's a lot let's

charge so ice its sharp sorry

next up NVIDIA has the BFG D :

Imperium 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 five thousand

dollars so it's a cool idea is

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 this place it's

probably it or you can buy a car coming

back down to earth we have the Samsung

space fighter now there are two sizes a

27-inch 1440p as well as a 32 inch 4k

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

stability 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 Razer

Raptor now we did cover this in our

Razer video but essentially to catch you

up this is a 27-inch 1440p high refresh

rate free sync display with a really

cool stand and some interesting

functions but it's also $700

so yeah LG also had a brand new

ultrawide monitor with a massive 49 inch

size now the name of it is the LG 49 WL

95 C 49 inch ultra wide monitor what's

cool about this though is is not only a

giant giant screen but importantly it's

basically a pair of 2560 by 1440 P

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 would you better

believe I'm gonna get my hands on one to

take a video of Nvidia took CES is a

great opportunity to finally announce

our CX for laptops so there are a few

options right now there's our CX 2080

2070 as well as 2060 as well as the

various max Q implementations and there

are a ton of laptops or updated 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 we're definitely the razor

blade which can go all the way up to a

20 80 max q also side note the razor

blade is getting a full 240 Hertz

display option soon as well as a 4k OLED

touchscreen I'm excited about that but

on top of that a su showed off the

ridiculous rog mothership concept now I

say concept but this is actually

something we'll 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

r-tx 2060 which is filing on sale 350

dollars 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 7a meter process and it's $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 you know it's a little

bit of a honestly boring year last year

for the most part but it's nice to see

all of these different graphics cards

and all these different options showing

up in the market it is a good thing for

everyone

third generation Rison also made an

appearance so it brings a lot of power

into a 7 nanometer process should be

roughly equivalent to a cry 9 with lots

power which is exciting and on top of

that digital storm had one of these

smallest gaming computers I have ever

seen I mean I guess there's like laptops

and stuff but oh hi that is definitely

me this guy's a legend right here

excellent thank you
