galaxy fold

Neața lume! Bine te-am regăsit la emisiunea noastră preferată de tehnologie cu știri din ce în ce mai ciudate din întreaga lume. Stai cu noi vreo două ore să îți povestim ce s-a mai întâmplat săptămâna aceasta, ce președinte s-a mai împiedicat pe scenă, cum orașul New York a ajuns o imagine apocaliptică pentru câteva zile și cum chinezii s-au apucat dă făcuto gaură în centrul pământului. 

Mai trebuie să știi că ”treaba aia” cu încălzirea globală nu e o glumă, și vei putea sta în pantaloni scurți în Antarctica în curând, cum AI-ul va distruge omenirea și cum Instagram, Microsot, Google și multe alte companii își forțează norocul în acest sens. 

On this episode of the Droid Life Show, we'll do our best to help you survive the slow holiday news season by talking about Google releasing the first ever "Pixel Feature Drop" and what it includes, how many Galaxy Fold units Samsung really sold, how much RCS has changed our lives, and more.

We also reviewed the Nest WiFi and Lenovo Smart Display 7 this week, for those looking to beef up their smart homes. We'll tell you if either is worth buying.

Trivia is back at the end of the show as usual.

Hosts: Craig Lloyd, Kevin Purdy, and Whitson Gordon

On this episode of the Droid Life Show, we really have just one big focus - everything Samsung announced this week. That means a show filled with the Galaxy S10 family, the Galaxy Fold, how much they all cost, when you can buy them, if you should buy them, and if we like 'em or not. We do, I think, but we'll dive deeper into that throughout.
