Transcript
- 0:00i think samsung nailed it on the size of the
- 0:07pro version the small the smaller version 6 .5
- 0:10inch qhd display 6 .5 it's not like the iphone
- 0:1518 pro the smaller one i think that's a 6 .3
- 0:19right 6 .5 so i do like small phones because
- 0:25they're nice to carry around at least for a second
- 0:28option but i know i'm not the average person
- 0:30the average person didn't carry around two phones
- 0:32i like having my second phone being a smaller
- 0:35phone i haven't done that recently because most
- 0:38of my phones are flat big flagship phones but
- 0:41i think for the average person i think this is
- 0:44i think samsung nailed it on the size of this
- 0:48pro not too small not too big so 6 .5 is absolutely
- 0:54perfect i think the perfect size for me personally
- 0:57for me is 6 .7 i think that suits my needs for
- 1:02a nice big display but it's not too big like
- 1:05the s26 ultra 6 .9 inch display look at the s27
- 1:10ultra down below 6 .9 inch that's a enormous
- 1:14phone it's a really big phone i think a 6 .5
- 1:18is going to be perfect and you see they they
- 1:22keep a lot of the specs are relatively the same
- 1:25minus one camera so with the pro you're getting
- 1:28a 6 .5 inch qhd plus dynamic m oled display it'll
- 1:33be a ltpo display right it's going to be the
- 1:36new m16 samsung oled panel fantastic oled panel
- 1:40it will have privacy display 2 .0 so it's going
- 1:45to be the privacy display that you get on the
- 1:47s26 series nobody uses that right nobody's used
- 1:51it since the very first day they got it just
- 1:52to try it out and since then never used it it
- 1:56grays out your screen so i don't like that this
- 1:59one's going to be their second generation of
- 2:01that feature so i do believe they're going to
- 2:03improve upon that grayness so to speak uh so
- 2:07we'll see i'm never even if they improve it still
- 2:10not going to use it it's just one of those things
- 2:12where it's like it's cool but i just don't use
- 2:15it now on cameras you're going to get a 200 these
- 2:19are all new sensors so this is not the traditional
- 2:21200 megapixel sensor that's on your s26 ultra
- 2:25it's not your four -year -old sensor that's on
- 2:28your s25 ultra this is an all -new brand new
- 2:32200 megapixel sensor so it should be pretty freaking
- 2:35good and you're gonna get a 50 megapixel and
- 2:38a 12 megapixel as well and a upgraded brand new
- 2:42another new uh front -facing selfie camera 16
- 2:45megapixel front -facing selfie camera you're
- 2:48going to get a 5200 uh million per hour silicon
- 2:51carbon battery now it's advertised as 5200 million
- 2:55per hours it's only going to be 5 000. it's a
- 2:59it's going to be it's going to be rated at 50
- 3:02advertised at 52 but actually it's going to be
- 3:05about about a 5 000 million per hour battery
- 3:07you are going to get 60 watt fast wired charging
- 3:09and 25 watt wireless charging which i never use
- 3:12and the big upgrade that we've been i've been
- 3:17waiting for i'm not going to say we because i
- 3:19don't know about y 'all this is a big deal to
- 3:21me lpddr6 ram and ufs 5 .0 storage this is a
- 3:30big deal now you're not only getting that on
- 3:32the pro the smaller version you're getting that
- 3:34on the ultra this is one of the key differences
- 3:38you're going to see between the signature 27
- 3:41and the this s27 series the pro and the ultra
- 3:47I was, I guess, well, yeah, it was confirmed
- 3:51because I did watch a Motorola, apparently Motorola
- 3:55is sending out signatures for content creators
- 3:58to test. I didn't send me one, probably because
- 4:00I criticize them too harshly, but what do I care?
- 4:03I'll buy it anyways, so screw it. It was confirmed
- 4:09on that video that the Cineature 27 is going
- 4:12to have LPDDR5X RAM, older... I say older generation
- 4:17technically it is and it's only going to have
- 4:19I say only UFS storage 4 .1 on the signature
- 4:23so that'll differentiate right there you can
- 4:28see the difference between the flagship now they're
- 4:31both going to have the same CPU Snapdragon 80
- 4:33the extreme gen 6 now Samsung's going to have
- 4:37the four galaxy CPU which essentially just overclocked
- 4:42a little bit I'm i'm assuming they're going with
- 4:46snapdragon there was that article and leak what
- 4:50is it a couple weeks ago where samsung was having
- 4:54issues with their snapdragon cpu overheating
- 4:57it was reaching out to snapdragon for help to
- 5:00try to calm these nerves to try to put out the
- 5:04fire the heat we'll have to wait and see i haven't
- 5:07heard anything since so i'm assuming they're
- 5:11still going with snapdragon right because It
- 5:13would make news, huge news, if Samsung was going
- 5:17to go all Exynos in this S27 series. They will
- 5:19eventually. And I think on some of the, I think
- 5:23the base S27, S27 Plus, they're doing Exynos.
- 5:27And on the S27 Pro and S27 Ultra, they're going
- 5:30with Snapdragon. So, anyways, it'll be overclocked.
- 5:36And you'll have a little difference there. But
- 5:38it's a big deal to me. And I know... Not everybody
- 5:43is going to need the latest UFS storage. Not
- 5:46everybody's going to need and or want the latest
- 5:49version of RAM, LPDDR6 RAM. But to me, that's
- 5:54a big deal. For what I do on my phone, it's a
- 5:56huge deal because I essentially run my life.
- 6:01on my phone i do my youtube channel from my phone
- 6:04i do my business my personal life everything's
- 6:08on my phone i edit videos on my phone right i'm
- 6:10not making movies over here right i don't need
- 6:12some big freaking whatever the imac or mac studio
- 6:17that's you saw that one that's like 32 000 with
- 6:21100 oh it was 512 gigs of ram i'm not i'm not
- 6:25paramount pictures over here right i'm ecm studios
- 6:28so you know but that's a big deal to me the lp
- 6:32ddr6 ram and the ufs 5 .0 storage that's loading
- 6:36stuff faster right videos faster boom boom boom
- 6:39data transfer from within your phone much much
- 6:42faster so i can't wait to get my hands on this
- 6:46now when it comes to the ultra very similar specs
- 6:48obviously you're getting a bigger display and
- 6:51a 6 .9 inch qhd plus dynamic amoled display and
- 6:54when it comes to the cameras there was a slight
- 6:56difference so you're still getting that brand
- 6:58new 200 megapixel you're still getting that 50
- 7:00megapixel sensor but you're getting a a second
- 7:0350 megapixel sensor while the s27 pro has a 12
- 7:09megapixel sensor so you're getting a 250 and
- 7:13a 50 you're getting that same 16 megapixels front
- 7:15-facing selfie camera and you're getting a bigger
- 7:18battery advertised 5700 milliamp hour silicon
- 7:24carbon battery it's it's going to be a 5 500
- 7:28million per hour battery that's that's one of
- 7:32the few negatives that i would uh label on this
- 7:37upcoming s27 ultra i wish it had a bigger battery
- 7:40right i still think samsung look in the new oneplus
- 7:47phones xiaomi phones opo phones you're getting
- 7:51seven eight nine thousand milliamp hours silicon
- 7:54carbon batteries while samsung's still putting
- 7:57a 5 500 milliamp hour battery in this phone it's
- 8:01like really samsung i beggars can't be choosers
- 8:04but uh i mean it's not like i'm not gonna buy
- 8:09the phone because of that i'm still gonna buy
- 8:11the phone but whatever the cpu depending on the
- 8:16thermals should get better battery life depending
- 8:19on how hot it runs um the display will be much
- 8:23more energy efficient that new lpddr6 ram is
- 8:27much more energy efficient i think you will get
- 8:31better battery life on this upcoming s27 ultra
- 8:33but i don't think it's going to be like like
- 8:35life -changing better battery life right it's
- 8:38not going to be earth shattering oh my god 2a
- 8:40battery life that that would be awesome but we're
- 8:44not going to see it this year um you're getting
- 8:4760 watt wired charging same as the s26 ultra
- 8:51i will give it to samsung um they did increase
- 8:55the if anybody has gone from a a pre s26 series
- 9:00or s26 ultra like if you had an s25 ultra s24
- 9:04ultra s23 ultra and then you got the s26 ultra
- 9:08this the charging speeds are much much faster
- 9:11like it's a noticeable difference it's not one
- 9:14plus fast but it's faster right and i'm gonna
- 9:18keep the same speeds but yeah incremental charging
- 9:23and battery upgrades i guess with samsung but
- 9:26it is what it is what about the price what do
- 9:30y 'all think about the price so the base s27
- 9:33pro is going to come in at 1299 1300 the base
- 9:38s27 ultra is coming in at 1399 1400 oh man price
- 9:47increase with everything um now that's the base
- 9:51so you're getting 12 gigs 256 that's that storage
- 9:54model now where they go for 12 512 and 16 1 terabyte
- 9:59i don't know there will be that 16 gig of ram
- 10:031 terabyte model on the s27 ultra samsung is
- 10:07still i think their decision had to be done by
- 10:10this week because this upcoming week starting
- 10:12like tomorrow this week samsung goes into production
- 10:17like they're going to start manufacturing these
- 10:19s27 series devices so i'm sure the decision has
- 10:23already been made and what am i talking about
- 10:25i'm talking about the storage variants for the
- 10:27s27 series well the s27 pro specifically because
- 10:32we went through these storage variants i think
- 10:35a couple of weeks ago on the other models the
- 10:37only one that they were still undecided on if
- 10:39they wanted to manufacture these or not is the
- 10:41pro now they're for sure you're going to get
- 10:44the 12 gig 256 model for sure you're getting
- 10:46the 12 gig of ram 512 gig model the only one
- 10:50they were unsure about is the 16 gig of ram one
- 10:53terabyte model for the s27 pro i think samsung
- 10:58doesn't know how many they're gonna sell right
- 11:01you don't wanna manufacture a ton of phones that
- 11:04you don't think you're gonna sell a lot in right
- 11:06and you're gonna see a lot of changes with samsung
- 11:09this year because their mobile division doesn't
- 11:11make any money which is hard to believe but they
- 11:16break even so they want to try to turn a profit
- 11:20this year so they're extra they're trying to
- 11:22be extra extra careful on what they manufacture
- 11:26and try to maximize their selling potential but
- 11:29be very very tight on manufacturing and not producing
- 11:33too many phones and have too many left over so
- 11:37if i were samsung i would say i would say yes
- 11:43because i think they're gonna find i think samsung
- 11:47is gonna be uh surprised delightfully surprised
- 11:52then i think they're gonna see a decent demand
- 11:54in this pro model i think this model is gonna
- 11:57be um a good seller i don't think it'll outsell
- 12:03the ultra right the the ultra is their baby that's
- 12:07the their knight in shining armor right that's
- 12:10that's their everything the ultra series but
- 12:14i think with this pro series i can't tell you
- 12:17how many people i've come across especially since
- 12:19i've been on youtube comments uh just talking
- 12:23to people how many people want a small flagship
- 12:27phone like it's one of the rarities you'll find
- 12:30in the android space is there's really not a
- 12:33small flagship device now yeah there's the pixel
- 12:3711 pro but when you really look at these i kind
- 12:43of have to put pixel in their own little section
- 12:46their own little department because i guess technically
- 12:52it's a premium flagship device but when you look
- 12:56at the spec sheet is it so i'm really talking
- 13:00about these best of the best when it comes to
- 13:02performance and everything else samsung obviously
- 13:07is going to have an edge on the pixel and this
- 13:08new motorola is going to have an edge on the
- 13:10pixel so yeah you do have a smaller flagship
- 13:14in the pixel e11 pro but for those people that
- 13:18want to get performance for the amount of money
- 13:22that they're spending right samsung is gonna
- 13:26fill that void with this pro model i think i'm
- 13:30gonna get one i think i'm gonna i'm definitely
- 13:31getting the ultra i want to get a pro just to
- 13:34see what it's all about because i think as i
- 13:36mentioned i think they're going to be surprised
- 13:38at how many that they're going to sell now getting
- 13:40back to the storage variants how many of those
- 13:42people are going to buy a 16 giga ram one terabyte
- 13:46model of their smaller flagship device it's going
- 13:49to it's going to be expensive very expensive
- 13:52like uh you're looking at and here's the thing
- 13:55how many people are going to spend eighteen hundred
- 13:56dollars on a small flagship phone i don't know
- 14:02some will uh and of course we all know you don't
- 14:05spend eighteen hundred up front you usually get
- 14:08it through a carrier or trading deals i get it
- 14:11but which what's your total out -of -pocket price
- 14:14if you get the one terabyte model of the pro
- 14:16version is it going to be a trade in your ass
- 14:1926 ultra and what do they'll give you 1200 bucks
- 14:23and then let's say the total is 1800 bucks so
- 14:26what are you gonna trade in your s26 ultra and
- 14:30then spend an extra 600 on top to get the small
- 14:33version i mean some will but um i think i'm gonna
- 14:38try and get the one terabyte model this year
- 14:40i just just yesterday hit my maximum capacity
- 14:44in storage for the third time since i've had
- 14:48this s26 ultra i have the 512 gig model i think
- 14:51i'm gonna bite the bullet and get the one terabyte
- 14:52model this year the one the 16 gig of ram now
- 14:56if i get the small version probably not gonna
- 14:59get the one terabyte model um i don't know i
- 15:02may just get the entry level just to test it
- 15:04out shit i i don't know but i'm not i'm very
- 15:07excited think that's going to be a fantastic
- 15:09size and i can't wait to see it i hope they do
- 15:13sell plenty of these to be quite honest with
- 15:16you i i hope they do well look whether you like
- 15:19samsung or not or whether you like using a galaxy
- 15:23or you don't i don't care but it we need it's
- 15:29going to be interesting to see how these sell
- 15:31because the phone market is so jacked up right
- 15:33now with i mean i can't not imagine The last
- 15:40thing I want to, here's the point I'm trying
- 15:41to get at. The last thing I want to see is Samsung
- 15:43drop models of phones. Like I want to have the
- 15:46more options available for phone lovers, the
- 15:49better. So yes, I want Samsung, I want this S27
- 15:53Pro to do well so we can have it there for availability.
- 15:57Whenever the time comes, you might potentially
- 15:59want a small flagship phone, right? Maybe two
- 16:01years from now, three years from now, you might
- 16:03want, or your wife may want to get a smaller
- 16:06phone or. your your your kid whatever or maybe
- 16:10you do need a second phone and that would be
- 16:11a fantastic second phone um we'll have to wait
- 16:15and see but those are apparently confirmed specs
- 16:19some confirmed specs and uh we will wait and
- 16:23see make sure you subscribe to the channel if
- 16:26you have not because like i mentioned i'm going
- 16:28to be getting one if not two of these now moving
- 16:34on to the signature and benchmarks benchmark
- 16:44scores for the signature signature 27 now when
- 16:49i first saw these i was like oh something doesn't
- 16:53those don't look all that impressive and then
- 16:57it hit me i was like oh shit this is on geek
- 16:59bench seven remember when the we're all used
- 17:05to seeing benchmark scores on geek bench six
- 17:07that's what they've had that that was their latest
- 17:10version i think for a couple years so all the
- 17:12scores that are hammered into our brain are on
- 17:15geekbench 6. now on this geekbench 7 that was
- 17:18just released a month or two ago the scores are
- 17:20lower on geekbench 7. so if you test an s26 ultra
- 17:24on geekbench 6 and on geekbench 7 you're going
- 17:27to have higher scores on geekbench 6. so when
- 17:29i saw these scores i was like damn those don't
- 17:32seem that impressive and then i looked in the
- 17:34fine print and it says geekbench 7 .1 so i was
- 17:37like oh well that's why that's why they don't
- 17:40look that i mean they're impressive but i was
- 17:42expecting more right um but look uh i'm gonna
- 17:47upload a video later today where i essentially
- 17:50discuss motorola's decision to go with the extreme
- 17:55cpu or should they have gone with the watered
- 18:00down version cpu i know i mentioned that the
- 18:02other day on one of my videos but i kind of go
- 18:04in a little deeper dive on this one um they're
- 18:08they're taking a big step up look this is a gamble
- 18:11for motorola flat out gamble for motorola because
- 18:17it's going to be mad expensive right the video
- 18:22i uploaded yesterday we found out the price for
- 18:26the extreme models 330 just for the cpu jaw -dropping
- 18:31expensive and motorola's swinging for the fences
- 18:36now i say that because on the og signature they
- 18:39had the watered down version that helped to keep
- 18:42motorola with a flagship chipset still flagship
- 18:46watered down version but but keep the prices
- 18:50down and with this one they're going all out
- 18:53as i mentioned swinging for the fences now you're
- 18:56going to raise it's going to drastically raise
- 18:58the price on this upcoming model however it does
- 19:00put you in the class right it does put you in
- 19:03the class with the s27 ultra and the ultra premium
- 19:08flagship android devices so they could have gone
- 19:16down either way either road it's just going to
- 19:19be interesting to see how this turns out because
- 19:21i think if you're motorola you're entering the
- 19:25flagship segment in the united states once again
- 19:29and for motorola you do not want to miss you
- 19:32do not want to they're swinging for the fences
- 19:35you do not want to swing and miss so we're going
- 19:38to learn a lot i want everybody to make sure
- 19:41you subscribe because we're going to be covering
- 19:43this extensively because this device releases
- 19:45this week so i want to know ultimately how much
- 19:51it's going to cost and another key factor for
- 19:55sales is is this going to be in the carrier i
- 19:58did another google search today to find if is
- 20:02there any leak any little window that i can peek
- 20:06inside was there a burner account that somebody
- 20:10used on social media from an at &t employee or
- 20:13a best buy employee you know typically see those
- 20:15on reddit or something like that where somebody
- 20:18will release hey look what we got in today and
- 20:21it's like promo material that they put up at
- 20:23best buy locations or in at &t stores i still
- 20:27haven't seen anything typically you'll see a
- 20:30week before the launch you'll see somebody i
- 20:33i've traditionally seen this with previous samsung
- 20:35phones with previous pixel phones of advertisement
- 20:38material that retail locations will get somebody
- 20:41leaks out right i haven't seen anything i think
- 20:44i think i think motorola it would be a complete
- 20:46fool i think if they do not get this in the carriers
- 20:50here in the united states it's over oh why do
- 20:55i say it's over because good luck selling this
- 20:57thing yes there will they will sell some right
- 21:01yes i when i say they're not going to sell any
- 21:04i don't mean literally zero phones right obviously
- 21:07people are going to buy this but not to not at
- 21:10numbers that would really wow anybody or certainly
- 21:14the competition that would be like oh my god
- 21:17did you see the sales of this new signature no
- 21:20they're gonna freak it if you're not in the carriers
- 21:22in the united states samsung apple they're just
- 21:25gonna laugh at you and not pay you any attention
- 21:26because that's essentially where your smartphone
- 21:29is gonna go is in the trash i'm sure they can
- 21:32put together a fantastic phone a near perfect
- 21:35phone but let's not make any mistake about it
- 21:39literal is in business to make money samsung
- 21:42is in business to make money the employees of
- 21:47samsung The board members, the directors, the
- 21:51executives at Apple, at Motorola, they're all
- 21:55looking at the bottom line. They're all looking
- 21:57at the bottom dollar, right? How much money did
- 22:01this bring in? And how much money did we spend
- 22:03manufacturing this, advertising this? It all
- 22:07comes down to numbers. And I just don't think
- 22:10it's going to be a quote unquote success if they
- 22:13don't get this in the carrier. Now they do have,
- 22:15they already have a foot in the door. Because
- 22:17they already have Motorola phones at all the
- 22:19carriers here. So it's not a long stretch. That's
- 22:22why I expect this to get into the carriers. And
- 22:26if they don't, it's going to be a huge question
- 22:30mark of what bonehead in Motorola did not get
- 22:36this into the carriers. Or who stated against
- 22:40putting it in the carriers. Who did not do their
- 22:42job at Motorola getting this into the carriers.
- 22:47so i fully expect this to be in the carriers
- 22:50and if it's not motorola's got a major problem
- 22:54because how do you expect to penetrate the united
- 22:57states market and make some real noise if you're
- 23:01not in the carriers because oneplus they did
- 23:06have some good sales and they had a nice little
- 23:08niche that they carved out for themselves and
- 23:11that's kind of where i was hoping motorola would
- 23:14take this signature is oneplus exits motorola
- 23:19would step in now one big advantage oneplus has
- 23:23it had is that they would give you flagship specs
- 23:26but come in hundreds of dollars less than the
- 23:29competition that's why i was hoping motorola
- 23:31would this is me personally my personal opinion
- 23:36i was hoping they would choose the watered down
- 23:39version of the snapdragon processor and sure
- 23:43it would catch flack online people would diss
- 23:48the fact that they chose not to go with the extreme
- 23:52model cpu whatever uh but i personally think
- 23:56they should have done that because you get flagship
- 23:58specs but you come in at it's gonna cost the
- 24:03consumer less right they can shave off some of
- 24:05that money um pass it on to the consumer sort
- 24:08of like what oneplus did right i think the oneplus
- 24:1215 you could get that right out of the gate for
- 24:14like 8 .99 fantastic deal like i think that's
- 24:19probably i wouldn't expect the signature 27 to
- 24:22come in at 899 because a lot has changed in the
- 24:26last what 13 months but what is the s27 ultra
- 24:31coming in at what do we say 1399 for the base
- 24:33model so 1400 i was i would think the middle
- 24:39of the signature 27 could enter the market at
- 24:421199 right make a big splash because here's what
- 24:48i would do i would i would do what just what
- 24:50i said put that watered down cpu in there cut
- 24:53some of the cost off the top to make it a little
- 24:55less expensive than your competition get the
- 24:58the the us market introduced to your product
- 25:02right get it introduced to the phone users here
- 25:07in the states and then hit them over the head
- 25:11on the second version with an extreme top of
- 25:14the line cpu because as i said two different
- 25:19strategies you can go about this um but that's
- 25:22what i would have done i would have done the
- 25:24watered down version introduced my new back into
- 25:27the us market new flagship premium device um
- 25:31and then on the second generation so the signature
- 25:3428 then i would go with that extreme top of the
- 25:38line cpu because you want to get your foot in
- 25:41the door you want to get sales you want to get
- 25:43people back into the because look It's been years.
- 25:47I know there's a lot of people like myself. Minus
- 25:50the signature, the OG signature, I haven't used
- 25:52a Motorola phone in, I think, since the Z2 or
- 25:56Z3. What was it? The Motorola. It was the flagship
- 26:01one that had a big round sensor on the back,
- 26:03super thin. So that was, what, eight, nine years
- 26:06ago? And never thought I would own another Motorola
- 26:09phone again. So people aren't, you know, whatever.
- 26:15i just think uh maybe maybe i'll be wrong maybe
- 26:19they'll sell a gazillion of these and you know
- 26:23it'll be everything will be a -okay into the
- 26:26future and obviously time will tell we'll have
- 26:28to wait and see but um i do think it is imperative
- 26:33for them to get these in the carriers and if
- 26:36not as i mentioned earlier somebody did not do
- 26:39their job at motorola if they cannot if they
- 26:42if this is not sold at the carriers sure they
- 26:44can have them in best buy i think they will sure
- 26:47you can get them on their motorola's website
- 26:49but if you want to move units you got to get
- 26:53this in the carrier
