Nah bro, in India we don't use nfc. We use upi Its a qr code to share and transfer money Its operated by government of India so it's safe It is both online and offline

[@HemanMadan]

It’s also based on Blockchain by the way

[@deepakbisht4957]

Who told you we don't use nfc? We use both NFC and Qr based Upi. I have Samsung Pay and I have my credit card and debit cards in my Samsung phone and I literally buy my everyday coffee with NFC...

⁠@@deepakbisht4957You do realise that you’re a micro micro minority,right? 99.99% of us here aren’t even aware about NFC because it’s practically irrelevant.

[@shantanubbhosale]

NFC could be integrated with UPI, but QR codes are just too good, I can zoom like 20ft in a queue scan the QR without a physical touch.

[@Vernardo]

Indonesia also got the same method, called it Qris.

[@thesaralkumar]

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]

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.

[@frederiklange2598]

In Southeast Asian countries, QR payment is prominent (usually tied to bank account rather than creditcard). I needed NFC in London because the phone signals does not exist in the tube, but in SEA, QR payment is not a problem cus the internet is cheap & has stable signal for big cities.

[@divypatel0]

26:47 yup that’s how it works. You scan the QR code of receiver and pay (also you can pay by entering phone no or upiID, but QR is code scanning is much more easy)

[@letsNotGetIntoNames]

And I think the positive part is that people can use any app they want, since all of them have the same Unified Payment Interface. There is no walled garden here.

[@cmmartti]

​@@letsNotGetIntoNames So basically a more widespread form of Interac E-transfer. Interac is the Canadian interbank network, and E-transfer is universal here (other services like Venmo don't exist). It's mostly used for person-to-person transfers or for paying your rent, but not used for retail transactions like UPI is.

"NFC is versatile, interacting with various standards, including the more niche ISO/IEC 14443. 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."

Most of the people I know change their phones because the battery dies out, and then tend to have battery life as a main decision driver along with camera. Battery > Thin

[@Shzl47]

that and also, most people use cases, so thinness literally doesn't matter.

[@esaedvik]

I've never had a phone battery die, except on an iPhone 8. Rest are Androids, 2013 Android batteries are still perfectly fine. Coincidence?

[@OllieHamon]

Battery life or critical software support, whichever happens to end first.

[@DominicMuir]

Hey! So to answer Elis' question on NFC, I have an interesting usecase! I'm a type one diabetic and I use a device called a 'Freestyle Libre'. You can check your glucose level by using NFC on your phone to scan it, and all the data is recorded into the app. I literally couldn't live without a phone with NFC! :D

[@_Makanko_]

I mean the ease of use is great and awesome but a blood tester and pen and paper should do about the same, just saying😅

[@DominicMuir]

@@_Makanko_ each scan transfers the last 24 hours of data (for every 60 seconds). So this is far superior to tracking 8 / 9 different blood tests on a graph

[@somiljangra]

Let me try to explain UPI so you guys understand UPI is a protocol for payments like RSS is for podcasts or Fediverse for social media, you can have a UPI ID/QR code and anyone can pay you regardless of which app they are using.

[@ireshtelang]

Yes

[@anujgupta1998]

Isn't venmo similar to UPI ?

[@deepakbisht4957]

​@@anujgupta1998vermo is small in front of UPI in my knowledge as Venmo operates in it's own ecosystem wheras UPI is huge, it actually transfer payment across different banks and even platforms can integrate UPI gateways. Upi don't share bank details. It actually Create a unique ID to send money and bank settle those money transactions later... The best thing is UPI is broad. It is actually integrated woth banking systems and you can even do financial transactions. I can literally buy Stocks, things from e commerce Websites and anything from any store. Even for using a washroom or buying a gum from a small stall I can do 1 cent transaction using this as everyone has UPI. I literally live cashless.

[@ireshtelang]

@@anujgupta1998 No its not because Venmo charges processing fee in certain cases and you can only use it if others have venmo too but here because API was fully disclosed and RBI made strict restrictions to banks by saying that the architecture was created by them and not the banks and so they could not charge customers any fee on payments and so current situation is you can pay anyone with any bank account and with any other UPI App be it google pay or a bank UPI app and they all work together by just scanning a qr code

[@Vernardo]

UPI was more similar to Indonesia Qris.

[@MusicMonkey5555]

I have an Aura ring and it does a great job of activity detection and also allows you to set the activity for a previous days activity. The sleep score is great.

I did get grandfathered into no subscription because I had first gen.

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.

[@_neko_neku_]

Note! NFC on Android phones with quick/nearby share can be used to quickly turn on device visibility 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.

[@kevinpomer9309]

33:19 “Allegedly!” needs to be added to the soundboard 😂

[@winstonsteele]

I think that for 90% of the population, batteries only need to last one day if they are charged habitually at bedtime. Therefore, choosing light and thin (pocketable or easy to carry in a bag) makes your life easier every moment of the day, inconveniencing you only in creating a charging habit at bedtime. Those people I know who don’t charge every night, are the people who have to panic charge their phone at some random moment during the day (my wife and kids and most of my staff) or carry chargers with them. That won’t be fixed by batteries that last slightly longer than one day. The rest of us will still charge our phones at bedtime and have a full battery in the morning, and they’ll still- at some point during the day- run out of juice, just maybe at a different point in the day because they have slightly longer runtime.

[@abelromanj]

I like the idea of you guys unboxing different products in the middle of the podcast 😂👌🏽

[@animesh_agr]

UPI works exactly as David suggests - a QR code links directly to the recipient account. Individual account details are verified using the contact number on the mobile device and matching it against the registered number in the account. Sender scans the code using the payment app and goes on to pay. There are no transaction charges at present (though that may change soon). Nobody I know uses NFC.

[@amitmanoranjan851]

UPI probably the best payment method in the world should dive into it for some future episode

[@toptiertech7291]

As a foreigner the lack of support for other payment systems is difficult. Couldn't book a indiago flight with a visa card from America....small text said it only accepts india based cards. Also paying tolls was not convenient as I couldn't buy a toll sticker.

When it comes to thin… my iPad Pro 11 M4 “looked” thinner however in daily use it has no impact and I no longer notice it. It was a marketing point. It got peoples attention.

[@midnight_yota]

I have the 13in M4 and my girlfriend has the 12.9in M2. I picked hers up after using mine for a week and it was very noticeable how much lighter it is.

[@LilPatrick.W]

well, it got your attention i guess lmao

[@sparky6757]

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.

[@DAIEDRO]

I remember the Infinity Display Marketing for the Galaxy S8. I loved the silhouette of the phone on that black background. So good.

[@krosskinetic]

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]

Correction for 1) UPI now does work with Credit cards (only Rupay as of now, Visa & Matercard are not yet onboarded).

[@deepakbisht4957]

I love NFC as I own a Samsung phone and it only takes 5 seconds to do payment but the thing is UPI is literally everywhere and it does it's job in 15-20 seconds and you don't need any swiping machine. All you need is sticker of Qr code. 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...

[@모댕-k7u]

galaxy watch support most android phone one that doesn't supoort is phone without GMS, such as hwei only downside using other andoird brand with galaxy watch is that u can not use ecg and blood pressure measurements since that requires separate app from galaxy store but other than that you can use all other functions

[@saraahsachi]

16:25 I’d like to add material to this list. Specifically no plastic or cheap feeling materials

[@aviral_mongra]

On the "Infinity Display" bit... I believe the Note Edge and the S6 "Edge" and the S7 "Edge" were just plain "Edge" displays. The "INFINITY" part for the S8/S8+ came because of the rounded corners around the screen and the fact that the top and bottom bezels got reduced by a bunch (they removed the SAMSUNG branding on the forehead and the physical home button for the first time), making the screen experience a lot more immersive and seeming "infinite".

[@SnappyJCM800]

Honestly I disagree. Give normal people more battery life and they will prefer that over thinner

[@GumbyLikeMe]

Yes. But to be fair, the iPhones are really thick and really heavy.

[@cmmartti]

22:45 NFC can work fine with removable backplates. The 2013 BlackBerry Q10 and Z10 had the NFC coil stuck to the backplate connected with a couple of small pogo pins, which seemed to work well.

[@CJisFPV]

IMO youtube is the best podcast platform because everyone uploads video to it. On spotify it’s hit or miss on whether the video version is uploaded, and there’s no comments. Comments make it for me, having video is nice for when I wanna throw a podcast on the TV while I clean the apartment.

[@rhoharane]

They're talking about different things. NFC is a wireless standard. UPI is an agreement between banks. If they wanted to, UPI could work over NFC. But it's unnecessary.

[@benslabbo]

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.

I agree with the phones getting thinner with new battery tech. But we have seen this before with phones getting thicker. Companies not making phones thicker with new battery tech. is a classic example of thinking about future operations where they can upgrade the battery by making the phone thicker by a little bit each year to make it feel like an upgrade. Samsung did this recently for the last 3 year with their base S series phone where they had 4000 maH on the S20 and they decreased it and increased it by a little bit ever since and we are back at 4000 maH with the S24

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.

I feel like the infinity display wasn't really about the edge screen, they had just removed the physical home button and made the display much taller (less top and bottom bezels too) so the front of the phone felt almost like all screen for the first time. The edges were part of the aesthetic but not the main thing

[@TyK1B]

As much as I value battery life, I do really prefer thinner phones. I miss the Galaxy Note 10 generation thinness, it felt great to hold and was so much lighter in my pocket.

With the ring, can we see if you need your Samsung phone with you at all times? Or can the ring told data and sync when it comes in contact with the phone again. Plus connections with Strava and Whoop would be awesome!

I want a review on the watch ultra idk why its sooo coool

[@knightlyjayful]

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.

Okay so about the indian market. We really don't need nfc here. I've been buying phones with nfc for 10 years and I hardly ever use it. Although the mobile payment method is huge in india, it's actually biggest in the world, but for that purpose we use something called UPI which basically use the camera to scan the QR code sticker and that QR code contains all the details of the business owner account and all you have to do is allow payment.

I'm sure nobody is gonna read these huge paragraphs that I wrote but I'm doing my part.

[@sho_k1]

And the beautiful part about this payment method is that you don't need "expensive"(yes it can be expensive for some) card machine to digitally accept payments. You can just stick qr code sticker and you are good to go. When you do a successful payment your phone make a particular sound to let the shopkeeper know a payment has been made and you can show him your ''payment done screen'' (don't know what to call it) or he can just check his phone and his phone will also make a particular sound and optionally can announce the amount paid. Alternatively or commonly these digital wallets provide a small bluetooth speaker to business owners it has qr code over it, you just scan it, pay and the speaker will announce the amount so the shopkeeper doesn't even have to lift his gaze to check the payment. Yes I'm bored right now thank you.

[@sho_k1]

You can even find some homeless people asking for money with a qr code printed on a paper.

David's "dyson zone and vision pro" comment absolutely killed me

I'd love to know how to Galaxy Ring works with a Pixel. Not a fan of watches (especially for sleeping) and just want a sleep, heart and step tracker.

[@percisilverwish]

Congratulations to Adam and Ellis!!

[@spaciotechtonics]

The Indian and Chinese (primarily Asian) markets use a QR code based payments service and do not "MOSTLY" need NFC. So not a huge miss I guess.

[@zyrus4real]

1:12:24 pls do a review on the galaxy watch 7. I know that's nothing much difference, but I hope to see a proper review or comparisons with the 6 classic. Is the watch 7 have all the features the the watch 6 classic....ty and appreciate that

[@sameercharaniya8724]

Would be nice if you can review the oura ring and the samsung ring and put them head to head. I am on the oura ring bus as a iphone user but want to get your thoughts too..

[@kfx3907]

Did you guys forgot about the Gear sport in 2018? This is just a better one from that. That squircle design is not even close to that Apple watch ultra. Plus, Apple copied the naming of the "ultra" which Samsung used it first. So what im talking about is... they copy each other so i don't mind which influenced it or not.

[@basileldho9846]

23:00 NFC is not a big thing in India because we already have a different digital payment mechanism called UPI. It works through scanning QR codes. Every store and street vendor has it. So it's not that big of a miss, especially if payments is the only thing you plan to use it for.

[@JohnnyZenith]

NFC is superior in any case.

[@EthanMurwira]

52:42 The size is actually 47mm

[@fromann09]

I am also very stoked to get my galaxy watch ultra!

[@manav11142]

Can you please do bud pro3 first? They are pretty new! And I'm waiting for your review to buy 😂

[@fromann09]

The answer to the second trivia question is Samsung Galaxy S8

[@Shirley36]

as someone who's 30 I appreciated that Akon "convict music" reference 😂 Also Andrew: "Beautiful Girls?" very close, that was Sean Kingston 🤣
