Pocketnow Weekly Podcast

Ricky Villacrez from GSMArena comes back to the show to talk about, among other things, Nothing! The teaser from the nebulous company is just one of a few different news items that JV and Ricky go through on this early-in-the-week segment of the podcast. The Nintendo Switch Pro might get a Samsung AMOLED display, OnePlus and Hassleblad make their relationship official, and JV shows off the Insta360 GO 2!   Follow our guests!

Razer announced their own smart audio glasses, but fellow glasses wearer TK Bay tells JV that they need to have RGB! Also, the Xperia 1 ii gets Android 11 and the Redmi Note 10 Pro is also the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max, kind of. Follow our guests!

The week starts off with rampant speculation after both OnePlus and Oppo release teasers for specific features of their upcoming devices -- in the case of Oppo, the leaked teaser basically spills all the beans. Nick Grey and JV talk through the teaser and how hyped (or not) they are for the new phones. Also, E3 and Comic-Con are cancelled again, and DJI's new drone reaches new first person heights!

Jaime is back on the show! With all precautions taken, Jaime visits JV and they catch up via the second half of this week's podcast. Topics include new Amazon products, some thoughts on the state of VR, and looking forward to new foldables with the Galaxy Z Fold 3!

We're shifting the podcast to a dual weekly format -- originally, the show was two big topics with a break in-between, so it felt right to just split that up so that you can kick it with us twice a week! JV and Nick Grey react to a couple of big announcements: the ROG Phone 5 and the brand new foldable from Huawei, the Mate X2!

Nick comes to the show with Xiaomi Mi 11 in hand to talk about the latest device rocking the Snapdragon 888. But the Mi 11 is apparently not alone because leaks of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra have surfaced -- and it's a crazy looking phone! Before that, Nick and JV talk about some of the moves OnePlus has made recently, including the Cyberpunk 2077 edition 8T and the supposedly upcoming Hassleblad-partnered OnePlus 9 Pro!

David Imel returns to the show, and he explains why it is significant that he's appearing on our tech show during a transitional period in his life and career! Best friends JV and David pick right up from there, looking forward to checking out Super Nintendo World in Japan when it's finally possible and then talking about the supposed 'beginning of the end' with Google Stadia.

Nick Gray of Phandroid brings his prior education in the financial sphere to the show, trying to explain to JV all of the craziness regarding the stock market and the Gamestop fiasco. From there, they got Nothing. Literally, Nothing -- the new company that Carl Pei recently announced along with investors that include Casey Neistat! And finally, Nick gets his own crack at the Samsung Galaxy S21 and S21 Ultra after receiving multiple units (he explains what happened).

TK returns to talk with JV regarding the rumors regarding LG's potential exit from the smartphone business. The two reminisce about past LG device experiences and try to speculate a future for, at the very least, LG's flagship lines. Before that, TK shares his thoughts on the Oppo Reno 5 Pro and the two react to a 2nd high end chipset from Qualcomm. Follow our guests!

The Samsung Galaxy S21 line has arrived and JV brings on David Imel to talk about his review unit (Josh didn't get his yet at the time of this recording) -- but before all that, the two talk digital CES 2021! ASUS is the focus of their discussion, as they announced a lot of great gaming and productivity laptops during the show. Follow our guests!

CES 2021 is here, but we are not there. That's right, the tech trade show that starts every calendar year has gone virtual and everyone -- including JV and Nick Gray -- are sitting at home enjoying the fact that they don't have to walk 20000+ steps a day or wear a heavy backpack for hours on end. They do miss being in the fray and actually experiencing the products announced during the show. Well, at least they can get together for an IG Live and talk through the products which caught their attention.

Friends, it has been one hell of a week. It's almost cliche to say that after the way 2020 went, but hardly anyone expected an insurrection to actually occur at the Capitol. What follows is part of our conversation today, which is how social media networks can actually tackle misinformation in the wake of actually blocking the President of the United States. We didn't want this whole episode to be too heavy, so it is sandwiched between talks of what CES 2021 could have been and some thoughts on OnePlus' attempt at a really affordable phone in America, the Nord N10 5G.

David Imel from Android Authority returns for a NYE hangout -- one that JV is happy to have for an extended period in this longer-than-usual episode! After geeking out a little bit about our current gaming habits, JV invites David to give thoughts on his favorite devices of the year, both in and out of the smartphone realm!

Nick Gray of Phandroid brings his video idea of talking favorite 2020 smartphones to the podcast, as JV laments over the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 -- don't get us wrong, the game is amazing on PC, but the ongoing controversy is really leaving a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Aside from that, tons of retrospective on 2020 includes looks forward to 2021! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!   Follow our guests!

Jaime jumps on to talk about one of his most exciting products of the year -- after convincing JV to buy one. We're talking, of course, about the new Macbooks with the Apple M1 processor! These surprisingly great little laptops are shifting the paradigm and while Jaime has always been a believer, JV shares his begrudged feelings regarding becoming a Macbook user for the first time. Before that, however, the two get into what they are thankful for this year, just after enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday.

Thunder E from Booredatwork returns to the show to talk gaming in a conversation that is longer that would fit in a Twitter Fleet. What system do you rep -- Xbox or Playstation?

Nick Gray of Phandroid returns to give us some updates from yet another month of quarantine, before getting heated about the Google Photos announcement that got some pretty negative reactions from many people.

Jaime fills everyone in on what he's been up to (and going through) since we last had him on the show. JV drops some audio and microphone knowledge since the Shure MV7 suddenly appeared, Jaime teases his exit from Spotfy, and then they talk about the iPhone 12 Pro Max on the eve of the pre-order.

TK Bay visits JV in his office to record the first face-to-face podcast we've recorded in months! The two let the tangents fly but parts of the conversation include Josh's unboxing of the League of Legends Oppo Find X2, Apple One, and the Huawei Mate 40 Pro -- which JV picks up and realizes: he's just not that into it.

JV grills TK Bay on why he didn't get on the wave of preorders for the iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro -- obviously they're joking around -- and talk through why the Mini and the Pro Max might be the more interesting phones still on their way in a couple of weeks. After that, TK flexes his Huawei Mate 40 Pro after JV gives some thoughts on a new #gifted pair of Montblanc headphones!

Phandroid's Nick Grey helps JV slowly regain consciousness after pulling an all-nighter to order his new iPhone at 5am PDT. As excited as they are for the new iPhones, the Pixel 5 and OnePlus 8T that are actually in their hands provide even more fun during a busy tech week. Oh, and the LG Wing? They have that too, but that was saved for the IG Live post-show hangout, which will be released tomorrow!

Nick Gray, editor in check of Phandroid, comes back to discuss Google's announcements that include two Pixels and a brand new Chromecast that comes with a remote. However, the first half of the show deals with a couple of other phones because this upcoming month is just going to be absolutely nuts -- check out the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE along the way! Look forward to the post-show Q&A in a couple of days, recorded during an Instagram Live that JV will do with the guest every week for a second weekly episode!

Amazon's flurry of announcements included their own gaming service and a drone that can literally fly around your house and map it -- JV talks with David Imel about how interesting it is that a company can be simultaneously interesting and terrifying in the same event.

We get the irony of having the editor-in-chief of Phandroid on to talk about Apple's latest announcements (which did not include the iPhone 12, of course) but Nick Gray had plenty to say about the new iPad Air and the new Apple Watches. JV then talks with him about the excitement around one of the most interesting phones of the year, the LG Wing.

TK Bay brings his Surface duo to the show to talk about foldables -- well, technically Microsoft's return to the smartphone space is more like a dual screen device, but we talk about it alongside other pieces of news like the impending Apple event invite and Android 11 dropping at the beginning of the week. JV is currently in the middle of an evacuation warning near one of the wildfires currently ravaging the California forests. We are keeping all those on the west coast in our hearts and minds, hoping the fires do not take more lives and livelihoods. Take care of yourselves and each other.

IFA has come and gone without many of us there to enjoy the fun in Berlin -- but Nick Gray shares Phandroid's Best of IFA 2020 awards in the first half of this week's episode.

OnePlus is apparently about to bring an affordable phone to the States, but it's far from the Nord we might have expected. Also, JV challenges TK Bay to convince him that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 is anything more than just a fun, big display. We're coming right up on Samsung Unpacked, part deux, after all!

Nick Gray returns to the show all rested up after taking a few days to get away from all of the craziness in tech these past few weeks.

In this special episode of the Pocketnow Weekly, JV and Jaime Rivera have the honor of interviewing Hassan Anjum, the Director of Product Marketing in Samsung's New Computing division! You all might know him as one of the personalities that take the stage at Samsung Unpacked events. The three talk about changes coming to Unpacked, the new normal, the Samsung Galaxy Book Flex, and ask the question on all of our minds -- what might be the next big laptop thing?

With the Vivo X50 Pro showing us what a super-powered OIS looks like (they call it a gimbal camera, but we think it's a little much), Jaime returns to the show to talk about the state of smartphone cameras and what things we would want to see in a good camera package.

As we look at those options, TK brings his great live streaming setup to the podcast as JV asks him to speculate on the Pixel 3a getting discontinued and the OnePlus Nord getting the company's signature guerrilla marketing via Instagram.

HTC finally comes back to the smartphone game! But many of us won't get to enjoy it. Nick Gray, our resident HTC expert and editor of Phandroid, comes back to the show to talk about what could have been and what might be with HTC poking their heads back up from the depths.

The Sony Xperia 1 ii (pronounced "mark 2") is showing how much Sony is trying to make a smartphone into a pro-level enthusiast camera rig, and TK Bay joins JV to basically talk about why he loves it so much. Before that, there is a little talk about gaming phones that both of the fellas have been enjoying lately and some thoughts on the battle that Twitter is in with the current government administration.

JV and David Imel haven't caught up in some time, so they were due for a conversation that goes in multiple directions on the Pocketnow Weekly! There is a bit of structure to the discussion after the check-in, including talk about IFA 2020 in Berlin still happening and the considerations they have to take before getting on a plane in September. After that, JV takes out the craziest and maybe funnest phone he's used this year so far, the Black Shark 3 Pro -- after expounding on the idea that the Poco F2 Pro is just a rebranded phone.

The Poco F2 Pro gets announced globally, adding fuel to the fire of mid-tier priced but powerful smartphones. Back in the US, the TCL 10 Pro is on it's way and some reviews are already out, so we give our thoughts on the $450 smartphone.
