Is Anything “New” with the Galaxy S25?

[@holmesketrick7]

Just because Marques is gone making a video coming out of the bushes doesn't mean go crazy guys. 😂

[@Waveform]

we respectfully disagree

[@epavlov]

Coming out of the bushes was one of the reasons I unsubbed from autofocus.

[@epavlov]

The other reason was I discovered Hagerty and the bar has been set. Sorry, Marques, iPhone videos don't cut it anymore.

[@Forgan_Mreeman]

😂

[@biutify]

oh hush, let them have fun

the intro feels like what happens when you leave two kids home alone for the first time when they are 13

Best add read ever please have Ellis read all the ads from now on. I just love his energy

[@sllick]

Short answer to the title: No.

[@Space97.]

Actually you missed that It's only the same if your blind

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@Space97. If you read into it a bit the phone actually has a different chip. Not that this made any real use difference the past 3 generations.

[@NDIconnects]

Happy to know that Ellis is keeping an eye on our tech. We're big fans of the podcast here! And yes, the OK Go video COULD easily have been made using NDI... we like that theory. 🙂

[@ellisrovin]

I screamed like a little girl when I read this comment

[@videobysrij]

ellis i appreciate that this is the only podcast i’ll ever hear about NDI, something I use for streaming all the time

Ellis doing ads is something I’ll never be bored of

[@wayfairing_soul]

The transition in personality from Producer Ellis to Cohost Ellis is always fun to watch. He totally changes his demeanor.

[@captainpackage7]

The palm photo gag was elite. Thank you for whoever did that

35:38 the type of thing I appreciate waveform for. Small details that show you they care.

When I saw David sitting in the driver's chair, I gleefully thought we'd finally get another episode dedicated to the fediverse. But alas, twas only a dream.

[@GimmeTaxShelter]

Pixedfed gets a shout out from him at the end though!

[@txl17]

@GimmeTaxShelter yeah that's true. We got something.

[@GimmeTaxShelter]

Never did I think I’d hear Dunkey referenced in one of these podcasts, but I’m here for it

[@Dk-qf8dd]

TikTok went down “early” because Puerto Rico is an hour ahead of the East Cost. That was midnight for PR.

[@fn-2187]

What about Guam then? Don’t make sense

[@Dk-qf8dd]

@ Thought of that. Guam and other small territories are kind of inconsequential. Then again, part of Alaska is west of the Date Line. Guess they had to pick a spot.

[@jakuth99]

Hearing a tech podcast saying “it’s getting hard to cover tech without involving politics but we’re still going to try and avoid politics” is insanely mind melting. Tech has always affected politics it’s just that now that the people controlling our tech are showing up in DC and the government is showing up in Silicon Valley people you cant pretend to have no stance

[@rosecoloredbi]

Exactly.

[@Uberfox01]

Being "neutral" is just being on the side of the oppressor, I didn't expect much but still disappointed considering how hard marques used to go on about elon and him *seeming* like an ethical person I expected he would at least say something about the whole situation.

[@bjojosimpson]

@@Uberfox01 Dude he doesn’t. If you’ve been watching Marques you know full well that people are expecting him to make the smallest mistake or comment and make it a huge controversy. People forget that what he says impacts the livelihoods of his team. Stop expecting him to be this activist that he never was in the first place.

[@GumbyLikeMe]

💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@AlexanderY18]

Just because tech "impacts" politics doesn’t mean tech influencers need to comment on politics. Nobody wants their political takes, just like I wouldn’t want a politics influencer reviewing tech. Tech affects many areas, but that doesn’t mean they have to go into every issue. Taking a political stance would also alienate followers who disagree, which no one needs.

[@GimmeTaxShelter]

1:06:41 great editing, Adam 😂

[@sudo_rm_vrf]

The ok go treadmill video is older than the youtube version, the original video came out in 2006 - it's 19 years old.

[@AssumedNuisance]

How come your iPhone 12 Mini is being slow? I've got iPhone 11 Pro and it's still smooth as butter, I've also got 64GB of storage. 😯

[@XxMrWink3rxX]

@Ellis. iOS Engineer here. Your horribly slow iPhone is very likely due to the reasons you mentioned. It’s not common knowledge but iOS does seem to use some storage space as memory swap space. So if you clear up a few gigs of storage your iPhone performance should improve. Keep in mind once your battery capacity drops below 80% it will also see some decreased performance. Also, if you’re using it in really cold weather it could compound all of the aforementioned issues. It’s worth mentioning that most iOS apps are built with the latest hardware in mind, so most devs won’t notice performance issues because they’re running either on a simulator or on more powerful iPhones.

[@A1G_77]

10:58 This is where a GenZ turns into Bane from the Dark Knight Rises and say "But you merely adopted the dark(TikTok); I was born in it, molded by it". Funny how he hasnt used TikTok, especially when the crew around him adopts any new app and test run features from personal experiance for the love of tech.

[@mchammer47]

This is the first video I haven't skipped the ad reads for ever. Well done Ellis!

Something interesting is in Korea, China, and Taiwan you can get the S25 Ultra with 16gb of ram, but everywhere else its only 12gb.

I so love your NetSuite and script. Part about Cristal Ball, particularly. Oracle literally has a Monte Carlo simulation tool called Cristal Ball, which they were neglecting for years to the point it is no longer usable or worth the money

Got to @59:02 of the pod - where David takes control. Wanted to pause the pod to give a janky shout-out ("Woo! Get 'em, David! Yay!"), before continuing on. Lol. Love the support of the episode by all. Cheers. 🍻

[@EK-hd7fr]

34:00 I am so hyped for the Oppo Find N5/ OnePlus Open 2. It's even thinner than the iPad Pro M4! Hopefully the new Gemini features work here, amazing how they went from not being able to set an alarm (which the old assistant could) to leading the game. Sad you only discussed the examples everyone talks about instead of trying it out yourself. Felt like all of you were less prepared than usual.

[@DE0BIZONE]

i'd just like to say thank you for putting me on to Rooms! i'm obsessed

[@Kendoujo]

33:30 i think his point was that back then change was purposeful everyone was throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks, but now the entire industry is largely in the same place. it sounds hyperbolic to say the smartphone design is 'perfected' and theres no room to manneuver anymore outside of spec bumps but i think that might be roughly where we're at until we move away from the slab of glass format entirely into glasses or some other as yet unknown medium (direct brain interfaces playing with your visual cortex in response to thoughts O_O could be cool)

iPhone from 12 pro Max to 16 pro max minor upgrades and visually almost the same Samsung from Galaxy S22 Ultra to S25 Ultra minor upgrades and visually almost the same.

[@bradenboyce2520]

Just a suggestion Ellis needs to do all the ads from here on out his enthusiasm & energy is 😎👌🏻🔥

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

The automatic deal breaker for me with the S25 Ultra is the lack of a Bluetooth S-Pen. TM Roh should resign. DJ Koh needs to be in charge again.

[@riverwang5482]

Hi Ellis. I think it might be the battery if you have not changed one recently. Older battery are short in capacity but also in maximum current as well. So if ram or cpu need a high power doing some tasks an older battery can make it extremely slow or sometimes crashes. Not sure if this helps. Ps: I am daily driving a 13mini (pink). May I say I am with you?

[@AwwsmGaurav]

1:03:40 Ellis, buddy I can feel that pain... I recently lost my phone and had to switch to my older phone, which isn't iphone its a vivo, but I can tell the physical chips like ram soc and the storage are degraded partially, feels like some transistors or something stopped working... Sometimes it clicks automaticaally so i have to lock the screen and turn on again, in winter its even more severe somehow... Yea I need a new phone soon... I cant even access web on here, banking and payment apps dont work... Somehow Yt and whatsapp work its a miracle how I use this phone. And we are very familiar with cleaning junk files every right? Its like regular everyday exercise... My pain is double because I used a very good phone for a year after using this phone in this condition for 4 years, recently lost it, this is my first ever smartphone, and I think its on the last breaths, it feels very loyal to me, every single transistor in this phone seems to be loyal 😅

[@AwwsmGaurav]

In my case its not a choice, I'm in student phase, dont have a laptop currently, so yea, this situation will change as soon as I have money... In fact first priority

[@94Gatas]

I'm not a fan of spinoffs, generally they don't interest me. But David and Ellis's podcast is the only spinoff I have actively thought about and was very happy it happened.

[@JoeKnowsWorst]

I honestly can't imagine what innovation we can expect from these new phones every single year...

[@bryan_turner]

I've been using Gemini to create artwork for my daughter to color and the base Gemini will not generate pictures with with a specific person in it. When she had asked for a picture of Barbie doing something it was 50/50 if it would work. Giving it some other random request and then asking again it would often do it. IDK how relevant this would be to anyone else, but but creating random coloring book type artwork has been kinda neat and entertaining.

[@urbanstrencan]

I actually really like how Samsung just improved S25 line the phones are just great 👍 Awesome podcast keep it up 🤟👍😃

[@LeonLego]

Yes. New chipset, new 50MP ultrawide camera, new curved edge design, new generic S-Pen.

[@la3692]

46:51 it depends on the model for the length of time😅 the only thing that's going to go away that I use is the live portion of Gemini advanced.😢

[@nubcakes04]

You guys are awesome. keep pointing out these things - these tech games

[@ryn1192]

Here's how to bring back Google Assistant on your phone instead of Gemini. (Tested on Moto G84) 1. Install the Google Assistant app from Play Store 2. Open the app 3. It will take you to a settings page where you can choose between Gemini and Google Assistant as default assistant. 4. Choose Google Assistant 5. Profit

[@jfreshh330]

Samsung is taking risks with their folding phones. They were the first ones (ignoring the flexpai). So I think it’s fine they’re playing it safe for their galaxy S line

There is an optical sensor on both joy cons. When they are in mouse mode on the trailer they go into adapters that you can then use the joy con as a mouse.

With the 24 line up being so good and profitable for them, can we expect them to do a new design when ppl still liked the design. It comes down to whether you wish to upgrade every year or wait a few until it feels new.

I would love to see the embargo for all the big tech channels to moved to after these events have concluded. It’s such a buzzkill for that event to start and have notifications from like 10 big channels push out hands on/summary videos the second it starts.

51:24 it's a bad angle for the video but it's three different phone sizes 25 regular and S24 and S25 edge. The edge is obviously thinner, even at 20ft straight on😅

Ellis, I've been experiencing the same digitizer issue on my iPhone 15 Pro max, always have to lock the screen to get the screen working again for some reason. So it's not just the iPhone mini

[@ellisrovin]

Really??? Do you also have the base storage?

[@Master1452]

@ellisroven yep base storage, 230/256 GB used. I'm going to try force closing the background apps, test your RAM theory

[@josefnnz]

David not mentioning The Wild Robot available to stream on Peacock starting Friday, 24 January 2025 is egregious

[@JosefTorkelsen]

The Samsung Ultra phone was almost as different as you can get without moving/changing the cameras. I swore off the ultra as I hated the rounded sides and hated the sharp 90 degree angles. This is the first ultra that I would even consider getting due to the hardware changes alone.
