• 0:09
  Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of a very
• 0:12
  interesting podcast. Again, I don't want to call this
• 0:14
  the tech transport cast because you know, we are we do a lot of
• 0:19
  recent podcasts here in house. But for this particular episode,
• 0:22
  it's going to be a very interesting one because we want
• 0:24
  to talk about our experience using Samsung devices.
• 0:27
  Of course, we know both of us being in this space, the tech
• 0:30
  media space, the absolute media space.
• 0:32
  And of course there are a lot of things to get in touch with, a
• 0:35
  lot of tech products. But in this case, we just want
• 0:37
  to talk about Samsung as a brand, Samsung products.
• 0:41
  So welcome to the episode. My name is Lee Kanali from Tech
• 0:44
  Trends. And I'm Naomi Wanjiru from
• 0:46
  filmhub.com and Chico MSA on. XX OK.
• 0:51
  I'm Peter Nalika. I write for Techfolio.
• 0:54
  Great. Welcome to the podcast, Peter,
• 0:56
  and welcome Naomi again podcast. We should make them appear on
• 1:03
  podcasts more. Yeah, but yeah, welcome to the
• 1:10
  pod guys. And of course, we look forward
• 1:12
  to discussing, you know, our experience using Samsung
• 1:14
  products. So fast things first.
• 1:17
  Which was your first Samsung phone actually on now?
• 1:22
  I can't name it, it was very long time ago.
• 1:26
  Yes, let's call it that, but that was my first phone ever.
• 1:28
  A tiny flip that was very. Cute.
• 1:31
  That was Kitambo. That was a long time ago.
• 1:34
  I'll get you a picture. Ah, OK, Peter Samsung.
• 1:37
  I think my most the device that I've interacted before it's
• 1:43
  actually a decent 136. I've been iOS person for quite
• 1:49
  a. While but I.
• 1:51
  Decided this year me to of cheat and try the different devices
• 1:58
  and that different ecosystem. After attending a lot of events,
• 2:03
  especially on the flagship events, what Samsung have been
• 2:06
  launching before, I decided I think I need to shift.
• 2:09
  And I have had a good experience, especially with the
• 2:14
  way the, the, the connect the, the, the, the whole
• 2:18
  environmental system and the, the, the Internet of Things and
• 2:23
  connecting the ecosystem. Yeah, you have the same brand
• 2:26
  and you have one platform and you get to interact both from a
• 2:32
  business perspective, from a communication perspective and
• 2:36
  also from a fitness yeah perspective.
• 2:40
  Very important, you know, not to break.
• 2:42
  But for me, actually, I think there's more Samsung devices.
• 2:45
  I've used always their flagships, I've used the notes,
• 2:47
  I've used the S In fact, I think it's just this year that I've
• 2:51
  switched to the F56, which I'm currently currently using as my
• 2:56
  daily driver. So yeah, but of course, I've
• 2:58
  been a Samsung user for so, so, so many years, but mostly with
• 3:01
  the flagship devices. And of course, when the folder
• 3:03
  was come also thanks to a friend that Samsung, they send some
• 3:06
  minutes over we go to use them. So you know, a lot of things to
• 3:10
  talk about, but yeah, flagship person.
• 3:12
  Oh me too, after the after that one, the many many years ago
• 3:18
  when I came back to Samsung. Now I think I will start
• 3:21
  flagship. Yeah, yeah.
• 3:22
  So apart from now phones, of course, as I said earlier, we're
• 3:26
  going to narrow it down to now the phones we are currently,
• 3:29
  especially the Galaxy A series which of course Samsung unveiled
• 3:32
  earlier, you know, meet this year.
• 3:34
  I think apart from phones, I'm using the Galaxy Watch Seven.
• 3:40
  I've used the buds you're using, you've used a.
• 3:43
  Galaxy Watch 3 and Buds. Pro Buds Pro Exactly.
• 3:48
  I think I've also introducted with the Watch Seven.
• 3:51
  Yes. And it was interesting because
• 3:54
  at that point, while I was reviewing it, I met my cousin.
• 4:00
  Yeah, so he's a Gopher. Oh.
• 4:03
  And I noticed the phone, he was actually having the same phone
• 4:07
  and he actually showed me how he used to map his his tracks when
• 4:12
  connecting. Yes, using using the watch.
• 4:15
  So the watch used to help him to connect while he swings his his
• 4:21
  clubs. He was able to connect and be
• 4:23
  able to learn later how to position his his swings and just
• 4:29
  to show how his game has improved.
• 4:32
  So they think around two months ago.
• 4:35
  That was my first interaction with the Galaxy Watch 7, which
• 4:39
  was pretty good. I actually had that review and I
• 4:41
  wrote about it. That's that's nice.
• 4:43
  That's nice. Now let's circle back to the
• 4:47
  Galaxy A series. You know, as we all know,
• 4:49
  Samsung released the Galaxy A series.
• 4:52
  When was the was it earlier? Mid this year, I think I'm just
• 4:57
  trying to go back to my notes guy.
• 4:59
  Where is it? Yeah, so so we got the Galaxy A
• 5:02
  series that covers the A 26, the a 36 and a 56, right?
• 5:09
  And of course, you know, as you all know, this series, the AC
• 5:12
  has always been one of Samsung's most popular lines, you know, in
• 5:16
  Kenya and of course, across Africa, mainly because we've
• 5:18
  seen Samsung bringing a lot of premium features into, you know,
• 5:22
  a price range that most people can actually afford, right.
• 5:25
  So if you can't afford to buy the A series because honest and
• 5:29
  manga, they have a totally different target audience.
• 5:31
  Samsung tried bringing all these the Galaxy AI features now to
• 5:34
  them to these, you know, these affordable phones.
• 5:39
  But of course, for this episode, instead, instead of just listing
• 5:41
  specs, I want us to hear from Microsoft VSS.
• 5:44
  Using use. Yes, use.
• 5:46
  Yeah. You have the Galaxy A56.
• 5:48
  I know, Peter, you used the Galaxy A30, a 3636, right?
• 5:53
  So the moment Samsung sent over that TV, you need Peter.
• 5:56
  What was your first impression of that one?
• 5:59
  My first impression with the A 36 was an ultimate look, yes,
• 6:05
  and I understand. I think it's like they do a lot
• 6:07
  of focus groups. I don't know if it's through US,
• 6:10
  the reviewers or what, but they focus first on the looks, which
• 6:15
  was quite impressive, you know, So the A 36 to me, it has a good
• 6:22
  look. It fits in with the lifestyle.
• 6:26
  Not, not OK from a personal point of view now and also from
• 6:31
  sort of from Kenyan point of view, yeah.
• 6:34
  Because you understand Kenyans were like looking good and also
• 6:41
  looking at our at. So it's it's cute and rugged at
• 6:45
  the same time. And you, you the resilience
• 6:50
  because of the, also the IP IP, the IP 97 rating, the rating,
• 6:57
  which was quite a thing. You don't have to worry about
• 7:01
  water and stuff. So to me, that was my first
• 7:05
  impression to it. And you know, OK, the camera is
• 7:10
  not all that, but you could see it's closer to the flagship
• 7:15
  device. You know, you're not missing a
• 7:17
  lot, you know, so at this point, I think I, I, I enjoy it and I
• 7:25
  don't know, let's see let's see how it goes cuz I still have it
• 7:27
  and we're still running tests with my team and I think it's
• 7:31
  good. It's landed on our table I think
• 7:33
  3 weeks ago and so far so good, yeah.
• 7:36
  I think the good thing with this A series forms actually when you
• 7:38
  look at both the A Series, A 36 and A 56, which I'm using, you
• 7:44
  know, I remember when we hosted Ryan here from Samsung to talk
• 7:47
  about the phones, actually had all the three phones together
• 7:50
  and they almost look alike in terms of design.
• 7:52
  They look alike. There are people you walk around
• 7:55
  with this phone, they'll ask you is that an iPhone?
• 7:59
  Actually, you know, all those good.
• 8:00
  The design languages will be very interesting.
• 8:04
  Normally you have the F56. See what I have.
• 8:06
  Have you used any of that from the F56 in the S?
• 8:09
  Series, yes. No, so the F56 what?
• 8:12
  What did you like about it? If she.
• 8:14
  Sees one. It's cute.
• 8:17
  Yes, that's. Yes, yes, yes, yeah.
• 8:22
  It fit right into my aesthetic but also what stood out.
• 8:29
  OK, a lot of things are stood out but for practicality when
• 8:32
  they use the camera. Because in terms of travel, I I
• 8:36
  travel a lot and take a lot of content.
• 8:39
  I'm almost tempted to compare output with what I did for S23
• 8:46
  Ultra. Very clear.
• 8:49
  It's it's if I if I looked at. It's just that I know this was
• 8:56
  Ultra 20, yeah. This.
• 8:57
  Photos in Lamu and this is the 56 I took these photos in Thika.
• 9:02
  But if I put those photos side by side, yes, it's it's very
• 9:07
  high quality. Yeah, and yeah.
• 9:11
  And I'm using the FUT 6 myself here actually.
• 9:13
  I switched from my main phone to the FUTC as my main, my main
• 9:17
  driver and I've used for almost almost three months now.
• 9:20
  Actually, two things really stand up for me.
• 9:22
  First, of course has to be the design of this one and being a
• 9:26
  very, you know, Samsung is always makes Samsung always
• 9:28
  makes very good displace for their, in fact, Samsung really
• 9:32
  sells their displays a lot of these smartphone companies,
• 9:35
  right. So the display stand out for me.
• 9:38
  The cameras really stand out. I've seen you so sharing a lot
• 9:41
  of nice photos and they've gone viral from the Galaxy 56.
• 9:46
  Yeah, water, yeah. Yeah, So that one thing,
• 9:51
  something else I like about the phone is that we are getting a
• 9:54
  very for a long time, actually, people used to complain how
• 9:57
  Samsung phones have a very bad battery, right.
• 10:01
  So, but we're getting a 5000 milliamperes on this phone, the
• 10:04
  Galaxy 56. It's really, you know, takes me
• 10:08
  actually a full day and maybe a half actually before I charge.
• 10:12
  Then of course, some AI features that Samsung has brought on this
• 10:14
  phone usually cut them as well because you want to put the S
• 10:17
  series, the foldables. We're getting some of those AI
• 10:21
  features like, you know, search and other features on this.
• 10:24
  Phone. So those are some of the things
• 10:26
  that really stand out for me there's.
• 10:28
  Also one about noise cancellation.
• 10:30
  Yes, yes, yes. Yes, yes, yeah, normally.
• 10:32
  It doesn't in the in the different devices.
• 10:35
  They didn't used to come as an AI future.
• 10:37
  Yeah, but also from experience with the a 36, I found that
• 10:43
  intriguing. And also, I would say consider
• 10:47
  buying it if you are you want to experience AI.
• 10:52
  Yeah, in, in your, in your, in your device.
• 10:55
  And also another issue was about the battery, which I just like
• 11:00
  to echo to me it has it has shown, it has shown that it's
• 11:07
  dependable. See, it's some it's a device
• 11:09
  that you, you you don't have to charge it every other hour.
• 11:12
  Yeah. And.
• 11:14
  You would buy it if you want something you move around a lot
• 11:19
  and you don't have access to a charger all the time and you
• 11:23
  don't want the bulkiness of a power power bank.
• 11:27
  But I would say I would pass it if I want to actually do and
• 11:35
  shoot good photos. Yeah, I would.
• 11:37
  I would look for maybe something in the S series or something
• 11:41
  better, yeah. Yeah, of course if you have to
• 11:43
  ask someone was actually go to the air stick with the ACS, even
• 11:46
  the foldables. The foldables will look very
• 11:48
  bulky at times, but they're very, very good phones.
• 11:51
  So buy them if you have Songku using Songku.
• 11:55
  Songku is a lot of them always looking to buy all those world
• 11:58
  labels. Yeah, but yeah, but I think even
• 12:00
  for the you know, I'm glad you mentioned that because even for
• 12:02
  the camera actually the a 56, trust me, we've shot this a lot
• 12:06
  of our podcast in house using this phone and the quote is just
• 12:10
  good actually. Like it really works.
• 12:13
  It works. I've seen you shoot those photos
• 12:14
  and videos. Like since my third episode or
• 12:19
  not. Yeah, we are shooting podcasts
• 12:22
  only on the. Galaxy 5656 yes, the last
• 12:25
  podcast we had with Ryan from Samsung, actually, we're using
• 12:28
  this one as a wide angle and short was very, very good.
• 12:32
  So actually it it works. But again, they're just, we just
• 12:35
  prefer flagship, right? Especially your flagship user,
• 12:39
  even when you keep buying. Yeah, 30 because this one is
• 12:42
  around 505855K depending on the variant you're buying.
• 12:48
  But yeah, it's but yeah, so much value for money here.
• 12:54
  Now for the ones you used, for the you used, which would you
• 12:58
  say is your top feature? Come here.
• 13:02
  Not because. Exactly.
• 13:05
  Simply because I travel a lot and travel is equal to.
• 13:10
  Photography. And especially because I have
• 13:13
  very good memories of 23, I'm trying specifically.
• 13:17
  Yes, because I. Went to a very beautiful
• 13:19
  destination. Ah, to Diani remember seeing
• 13:21
  those photos. Diani and Lamu, yeah, and
• 13:24
  actually Samsung were kind enough to send a device for that
• 13:28
  content. So I still that still holds very
• 13:31
  dear to me. But even all the other devices
• 13:34
  have been good with camera. Interesting camera.
• 13:38
  You know, it's very interesting at times.
• 13:40
  A lot of girls always love cameras.
• 13:41
  Of course I like. Looking good, yeah, but not
• 13:46
  it's. Not that we belittle the other
• 13:47
  feature. Yeah, it's just a top of mind.
• 13:50
  Like Joey Simu. What do you?
• 13:52
  Like, I know I'll go to the camera.
• 13:53
  I know. Yeah, I'll still.
• 13:55
  Study the other technicalities. Yeah, I would still want to
• 13:59
  know. Of course.
• 13:59
  I'm storage. Yeah.
• 14:01
  But you see, now it's sometimes you really don't have to worry
• 14:03
  like storage. You just know it's good.
• 14:05
  Yeah. Exactly.
• 14:06
  Yeah. I mean, how many times has your
• 14:09
  sister even told you to make sure you want to come here?
• 14:12
  And that's only way you know and then?
• 14:15
  It really lights up your socials.
• 14:17
  It lights up your socials and your work.
• 14:20
  You see now for my line of work as control, all of us as content
• 14:23
  creators, if we are doing, even if you work for a client, let's
• 14:27
  say 100 at an event and you need short cameras, I mean short
• 14:31
  videos. Then.
• 14:33
  You you get very clear videos for that client so that that
• 14:37
  also helps you on the quality of your work, even at night, even
• 14:40
  at night. Yeah, very good videos.
• 14:42
  At night, as with this phone, actually, when it just came,
• 14:45
  Yeah, good videos for a client at night in a studio.
• 14:49
  Oh. Yeah.
• 14:51
  Ah, nice beta. Which was your favorite feature
• 14:53
  for the A36I? Must say the battery because
• 14:56
  first of all, it's charging devices, yeah, so and also I use
• 15:01
  the devices, the device a lot, especially taking notes starting
• 15:06
  from way early during my workouts up to late in the
• 15:09
  evening, yeah. And.
• 15:12
  It's sort of a promise. Sorry.
• 15:14
  It's about now how this particular device will
• 15:17
  accommodate, you know, a different ecosystem.
• 15:22
  I'll be able to. Connect it to the buds.
• 15:24
  Yeah, and I'll be able to connect it to the to the watch.
• 15:28
  You know, mind you, it's a it's a mid range device.
• 15:33
  So to me, I feel that the brand did a good thing.
• 15:38
  They were accommodative. They didn't only care about
• 15:41
  people who can actually afford the mid range.
• 15:44
  Sorry, the the flagship flagship, but also they brought
• 15:47
  the they brought these features to to they opened up the device,
• 15:52
  the mid range, the a 36 to those who are not able to reach the
• 15:59
  the flagship price point. To me that was a plus.
• 16:04
  And also one feature which is sort of silent is a solid
• 16:09
  software. So it means that you don't have
• 16:13
  to worry about your device hanging.
• 16:17
  And when you look at, and I'm not trying to categorize, but
• 16:22
  hypothetically mid Rangers, trust me, they're heavy users.
• 16:26
  Yeah, they're heavy users. So you don't have device where
• 16:31
  all of a sudden it will crash, it will slow down because of the
• 16:35
  robust the software that is running this device works and
• 16:41
  accommodates different different, different
• 16:44
  applications and stuff. So I think that's what I liked
• 16:48
  about the device and I'm I'm I'm comfortable going to trust.
• 16:53
  Software also the updates. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
• 16:58
  Updates, yeah, Yeah, actually, I like that Samsung actually stuck
• 17:01
  to that promise they did about giving us updates.
• 17:03
  Yeah, yeah. But again, I remember when we
• 17:06
  had that podcast ran here talking about how Kitambo people
• 17:10
  never used to care about updates when I'm part of seeing like
• 17:13
  you, you get someone with a phone again that you can update
• 17:18
  backdated Yani. But this is really care about
• 17:20
  those thoughts because it become very, very, you know, very
• 17:22
  interesting features. But for me, actually one thing I
• 17:26
  like about what I'm using right now, the Galaxy A series has to
• 17:29
  be the Samsung it's called the Samsung Knox World, right, which
• 17:34
  is now EFO security. So actually what Samsung did is,
• 17:38
  you know, Samsung expanded this feature usually used to be
• 17:42
  available on the flagships. Yeah, I think in 2024 Samsung
• 17:47
  started expanding this feature to the Galaxy A series phones
• 17:51
  game. So here looking at almost, you
• 17:53
  know, some very enhanced, you know, level hardware level
• 17:56
  protection. So you can store your pins, you
• 17:59
  can store your passwords. So if you have people like us
• 18:01
  who work with a lot of platforms, you have so many
• 18:03
  websites, you manage social media pages, you know, so pins,
• 18:07
  passwords, biometrics, you know, so basically this creates an
• 18:11
  environment for you to, you know, to store your your data.
• 18:15
  So that's one thing I really like about what I'm getting on
• 18:18
  on this on this particular phone.
• 18:20
  So I said biometrics, data and passwords, Samsung Pass logins,
• 18:25
  Samsung Pay, OK, it's not available here.
• 18:28
  But yeah, for secure for the files, encryption, you know, all
• 18:32
  these features. Yes.
• 18:34
  What am I forgetting? So do you think this was
• 18:39
  actually giving you value for money?
• 18:40
  Yeah, because as we know, Kenya's always a market of
• 18:43
  pricing. People buy phones based on
• 18:46
  pricing you'll go you know when someone is sending you am I
• 18:50
  looking for a product? Of course they'll go through our
• 18:52
  websites. They'll see a product where I
• 18:54
  can be a budget is what I'm working with, right?
• 18:59
  Based on the competition we've seen, of course I cannot take no
• 19:02
  there you see, like in a viewer there.
• 19:04
  I cannot show me there. I can help work in HMDA or
• 19:07
  there. Of course, all of them are very
• 19:09
  strongly Rangers actually. But do you think actually
• 19:13
  Samsung now gives you value for money with this A series for the
• 19:17
  50 I'm using, I'm actually getting value for money because
• 19:21
  first the one I'm having is the 8GB, I think 256 GB variant,
• 19:25
  which is around 55,000. You have the, I think 8GB120GB,
• 19:29
  it's around 49,000, right? How much is the a 36M one you're
• 19:34
  using? I think that it took yeah.
• 19:38
  So based on those features, I do you think you're getting value
• 19:41
  for money? Oh, sorry.
• 19:45
  I I would love to go fast. Sorry for that.
• 19:51
  A value for money. I would say yes.
• 19:53
  For students, young professionals.
• 19:57
  You are a parent who wants to take photos of the
• 20:03
  grandchildren. Yeah, you know, and also I
• 20:08
  think. It gives you value, value for
• 20:10
  money because you it eliminates the stress of dealing with the
• 20:15
  with the, with the with the flagship, yes, device,
• 20:20
  especially in harsh conditions. You can imagine a student and
• 20:23
  you know, so to me it's, it's, it's sort of risk free in terms
• 20:29
  of the investment. It is quite an investment, yes,
• 20:33
  but compared to the flagship I, I mean for the price range and
• 20:37
  for the target audience, it is, it is a good device and it's, it
• 20:42
  offers value for money, yeah. See like for students and.
• 20:47
  Yeah, if not, use. Users yeah, yeah, just.
• 20:50
  Basic basic use. Basic use is good OK.
• 20:56
  For me, I would say now, as I've come to discover and love for
• 21:00
  work like it has really come through to work.
• 21:03
  No, I don't need like I wouldn't need to carry a camera like the
• 21:09
  bigger cameras. Just this in in a small bag and
• 21:13
  mics and I'm mini for CASI very high quality content and then
• 21:19
  also for podcasting now. Yeah.
• 21:25
  Because now that we are back to podcasting, let me just mention
• 21:28
  the battery. We usually shoot a whole podcast
• 21:32
  from full battery and still you'd think that after an hour
• 21:35
  and something, Yeah, you may. Drain so much no.
• 21:37
  No, no, no. You'd still find that they still
• 21:41
  may be around 5060%. OK, That's that's that's yes,
• 21:44
  that's really big. You can podcast and carry on
• 21:46
  with your day. Yeah, and still get to it.
• 21:50
  Yeah, I I tend to agree actually, because what we see
• 21:54
  with this Galaxy a series, it's, you know, very great value for
• 21:58
  good balance features and affordability, right.
• 22:02
  So if for any buyers actually very value and price conscious
• 22:06
  actually opt to go for, you know, for them.
• 22:09
  So things that stand up for me actually has to be of course,
• 22:11
  the affordable price, which is what I think a lot of people can
• 22:14
  actually manage, you know, to to afford.
• 22:18
  And of course the long software support has to be a very, very
• 22:20
  key selling. I mean, you know me to use and
• 22:24
  Alan knows this. I used to use phones every
• 22:26
  month. I used to have a new new phone.
• 22:29
  And even Peter opened up on your bank when you go.
• 22:32
  Now I have. I have, Yeah, but switches
• 22:36
  phones every month when I don't buy them for.
• 22:40
  So it's sent by a lot of these companies for review.
• 22:43
  But I think the longest I've stayed now it has to be the
• 22:46
  Galaxy I'm using as my main phone.
• 22:47
  This longest for the first time in Li Asimo case.
• 22:52
  I never do that because I think the phone looks very, very good.
• 22:55
  So that's a long software support from Samsung.
• 22:58
  You know, that means, of course, multiple years of OS and secret
• 23:02
  updates. So that's adds adds a very long
• 23:05
  term value. Then you'll be a very strong
• 23:06
  cameras. Another thing for me has to be
• 23:08
  the quality display and build. Trust me, these phones are
• 23:11
  really well, well built. I think they're probably one of
• 23:13
  the best Galaxy A series phones we've seen around because they
• 23:17
  build the display. I mean, you can never go wrong
• 23:19
  with Samsung. The display.
• 23:20
  That's that's one thing we know for sure actually.
• 23:23
  So for me, though, I think that really stand out for and
• 23:25
  basically one thing that will actually make me go for these
• 23:28
  phones as my daily driver. Well I'm using as my daily
• 23:31
  driver, but of course if I had an option flagship anytime is 24
• 23:37
  ultra. Yes to be specific.
• 23:40
  Why I? Know I just have that phones,
• 23:42
  especially for people in our space.
• 23:43
  If you're a creator, if you do a lot of content, the best phones
• 23:47
  to buy have to be all those Galaxy S series phones.
• 23:50
  Yes. We are using one there though.
• 23:51
  It's a national 3 Ultra. This.
• 23:53
  Is instant 2 instant. 2 Ultra, right?
• 23:56
  Very good phones. Yes, Peter, you had something to
• 23:59
  add. Yeah, I you just mentioned you
• 24:01
  bought a case. You know, I know, right.
• 24:05
  When we were doing the review of our A 36, we first when the
• 24:10
  device landed on our desk, we were like no, this one does not
• 24:16
  does not warrant having being covered.
• 24:19
  You know you need. To hide those.
• 24:21
  Yeah. So I'm thinking you need to
• 24:23
  rethink if. You.
• 24:25
  If you you can't just hide that beauty, I think it would be good
• 24:29
  for you to look for a clear case.
• 24:31
  So back to my verdict. I think you for my A 36 I would
• 24:40
  advise a user to skip it if he's a photographer, a photograph
• 24:46
  serious photographer, especially on low light, it won't throw as
• 24:51
  much as it's it's required or for example compared to the A
• 24:57
  series and another point around that.
• 25:01
  If you are looking for a pen, you know, you are a kind of a
• 25:05
  business. So you like the pens.
• 25:07
  Yeah. I think I should consider
• 25:10
  something else. Yeah.
• 25:13
  Speaking of cases, I also can't imagine having a case on.
• 25:19
  Thank you too to kill. Everything.
• 25:22
  No, I'm just trying to to be careful.
• 25:25
  You know, I don't. One of my phones the other day,
• 25:26
  yeah. And so I was just trying to be
• 25:29
  careful. I've never.
• 25:30
  Dropped a phone, yes. But there's one, the phone I
• 25:32
  have here, they're using network.
• 25:34
  I've never used a case completely that that one don't
• 25:38
  wanna case can be somebody still standing very, very ill Yes,
• 25:41
  I've never. Used the case in my life, yeah.
• 25:44
  But yeah, so at least you'll agree these ones look really
• 25:46
  nice. So that's that's that's good.
• 25:48
  Yeah, that's. The point?
• 25:50
  Yes. So, you know, as we almost wind
• 25:51
  up, so of course Samsung also launched the Galaxy S25 Fe,
• 25:55
  which of course we don't talk much about it because I know we
• 25:58
  did some coverage around around it.
• 25:59
  So so another phone that you may consider if you're looking to
• 26:03
  upgrade from the A series. But yeah, I think for me, unless
• 26:08
  you guys have anything to add what you need for me.
• 26:11
  I I would as a verdict, yes. OK.
• 26:15
  It's a very good phone and I particularly the A. 56 to be
• 26:19
  specific. 56 yes 56. It's also the longest I've used
• 26:24
  as a test unit, but it's also the longest I intend to use.
• 26:29
  I think I'm need for SASA unless sasan and any kisonga.
• 26:33
  Flagships. Exactly.
• 26:35
  But I intend I, I intend to stick to that kind of quality
• 26:39
  and that kind of reliability, especially those updates.
• 26:44
  Yes, Peter. From my point of view, I'm key
• 26:50
  about the AI. Yeah, features.
• 26:54
  And I want to see where sometimes I'm taking the
• 26:58
  ecosystem, especially now from using AI as an enabler to
• 27:04
  different users. First of all, maybe if we can
• 27:08
  understand the approach where why AI is important, especially
• 27:14
  in these devices, what was the user pinpoint, you know, So if
• 27:21
  we can get the pinpoint, I think it would be good.
• 27:24
  And as you all know, we've been been invited this evening for a
• 27:29
  launch of an AIT. You know so.
• 27:32
  I mean, OK, I haven't exhausted even even the features of my TV,
• 27:39
  so I'm eager to know this AITV. What does it do?
• 27:43
  Interesting. What does it do, and I hope
• 27:46
  probably Kanadi will invite us back here to actually review, if
• 27:52
  we can have a review of this particular TV and understand
• 27:56
  why, Why do we need like what? What was the problem before so
• 28:03
  that we the the the brand decided that we're going to
• 28:07
  introduce AI to solve this particular problem from point A
• 28:11
  to point BI Think that would be a good narrative.
• 28:14
  I know I. I will invite you guys I'll
• 28:16
  invite you to a tech friends AI forum on 2nd October, which I'm
• 28:19
  hoping something will actually be also be on our partners.
• 28:23
  They might but will now come and showcase now this thing you're
• 28:26
  talking about here. You know, case studies, as you
• 28:28
  only say, right? How's it working, How's it in
• 28:30
  play and all those things. But of course.
• 28:32
  So we're watching this podcast just a few hours before we go to
• 28:34
  the Samsung AITV launch event at Glee.
• 28:37
  So yeah, So you have to basically see each other there.
• 28:40
  But I think that is for this episode of our joint podcast.
• 28:45
  My name is Nikan Ali from Tektrans.
• 28:48
  Omio Angiro from Film Hub. I am Peter Malika.
• 28:52
  I write for Tech Folio. Great.
• 28:53
  Of course, if you've been, you know, out there considering an
• 28:56
  upgrade, remember, of course, this A series ones from the
• 28:58
  F56-F3836. They have something for
• 29:02
  everyone, right? So, of course, the A26, for
• 29:05
  those on our budget, the A36 has the perfect middle ground.
• 29:10
  And of course, the A56, which I'm using and OMI as well, if
• 29:14
  you want, you know, a near, let me call it near flagging
• 29:17
  features without a heavy price tag on it.
• 29:20
  So yeah, I think that's it for this episode.
• 29:22
  Thank you so much for watching. We'll see you in the next one.
