Tech Accountability and Innovation

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,473
Alright, alright,
welcome back to Tech Between the Lines!

2
00:00:02,473 --> 00:00:04,865
It's episode two and guess what?

3
00:00:04,865 --> 00:00:06,525
We're doing something big.

4
00:00:06,525 --> 00:00:10,161
Big big-like, paradigm-shifting big.

5
00:00:06,525 --> 00:00:10,161
Oh boy,

6
00:00:10,161 --> 00:00:10,730
here we go.

7
00:00:10,730 --> 00:00:12,959
What's the earth-shaking news this time,

8
00:00:12,959 --> 00:00:15,280
Between?

9
00:00:12,959 --> 00:00:15,280
We're going twice a week!

10
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,866
That's right-Wednesdays and Fridays
starting this very week.

11
00:00:19,866 --> 00:00:22,129
I mean, tech evolves fast, right?

12
00:00:22,129 --> 00:00:23,360
We gotta keep up!

13
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,717
I feel like one episode a week was,

14
00:00:25,717 --> 00:00:29,280
you know,
leaving too many stories on the table.

15
00:00:25,717 --> 00:00:29,280
Because what the world

16
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,334
really needs is more tech podcasts.

17
00:00:31,334 --> 00:00:33,749
But okay, I'll humor this idea.

18
00:00:33,749 --> 00:00:34,968
Twice a week, huh?

19
00:00:34,968 --> 00:00:37,743
So, what's the lineup today?

20
00:00:34,968 --> 00:00:37,743
Oh,

21
00:00:37,743 --> 00:00:39,438
Finn, I'm so glad you asked.

22
00:00:39,438 --> 00:00:43,397
We've got sizzling topics today-Sonos
admitting their app redesign was...

23
00:00:43,397 --> 00:00:47,979
let's say, less than ideal-You mean a
total disaster?

24
00:00:43,397 --> 00:00:47,979
Well...

25
00:00:47,979 --> 00:00:48,409
Yeah.

26
00:00:48,409 --> 00:00:51,288
But at least their interim CEO is owning
up to it.

27
00:00:51,288 --> 00:00:57,697
Then, we're diving into Samsung's Galaxy
S25 Edge launch-it's crazy thin,

28
00:00:57,697 --> 00:01:02,831
like, stop-and-stare thin-and some
controversial trade-offs.

29
00:00:57,697 --> 00:01:02,831
Bet the battery's

30
00:01:02,831 --> 00:01:04,352
the size of a postage stamp.

31
00:01:04,352 --> 00:01:07,173
What else?

32
00:01:04,352 --> 00:01:07,173
Android 16 preview!

33
00:01:07,173 --> 00:01:09,355
Big updates, bold moves.

34
00:01:09,355 --> 00:01:12,003
I'm talking live updates,
bright new interfaces,

35
00:01:12,003 --> 00:01:14,603
AI-powered everything-it's gonna blow
your mind.

36
00:01:14,603 --> 00:01:17,889
Plus, our quick hits roundup of other
tech stories you don't wanna miss.

37
00:01:17,889 --> 00:01:19,607
So much ground to cover today,

38
00:01:19,607 --> 00:01:23,065
Finn!

39
00:01:19,607 --> 00:01:23,065
Sounds like we better get to it before
this "new schedule" goes

40
00:01:23,065 --> 00:01:23,773
off the rails.

41
00:01:23,773 --> 00:01:26,083
Lead the way, Between.

42
00:01:23,773 --> 00:01:26,083
Alright,

43
00:01:26,083 --> 00:01:27,918
leading the way as promised-first up,

44
00:01:27,918 --> 00:01:29,473
Sonos and their app.

45
00:01:29,473 --> 00:01:33,723
Oh my gosh,
this redesign has been an absolute mess.

46
00:01:33,723 --> 00:01:38,901
Like, picture this: They release a
supposedly upgraded app and-wait for

47
00:01:38,901 --> 00:01:42,314
it-it doesn't even have a sleep timer or
volume controls.

48
00:01:42,314 --> 00:01:44,766
Can you imagine?

49
00:01:42,314 --> 00:01:44,766
Oh, I can imagine.

50
00:01:44,766 --> 00:01:49,665
It's what happens when you let a bunch of
engineers in a lab decide what

51
00:01:49,665 --> 00:01:53,334
users need without, you know,
asking users.

52
00:01:49,665 --> 00:01:53,334
Well,

53
00:01:53,334 --> 00:01:54,472
yeah, basically!

54
00:01:54,472 --> 00:01:57,212
I mean, the interim CEO, Tom Conrad,

55
00:01:57,212 --> 00:01:58,768
he's actually owning up to it,

56
00:01:58,768 --> 00:02:01,067
which you don't always see in situations
like this.

57
00:02:01,067 --> 00:02:04,770
He even admitted their testing conditions
totally ignored real-world

58
00:02:04,770 --> 00:02:05,339
setups.

59
00:02:05,339 --> 00:02:06,848
Like, seriously?

60
00:02:06,848 --> 00:02:12,154
Wi-Fi complexity, legacy speakers-it
feels like they just assumed everything

61
00:02:12,154 --> 00:02:16,529
would work fine because it did in the
lab.

62
00:02:12,154 --> 00:02:16,529
Classic rookie move.

63
00:02:16,529 --> 00:02:18,201
Never trust the lab.

64
00:02:18,201 --> 00:02:22,949
It's like testing a parachute indoors-it
doesn't mean it'll hold up when

65
00:02:22,949 --> 00:02:25,341
you jump out of the plane.

66
00:02:22,949 --> 00:02:25,341
Exactly!

67
00:02:25,341 --> 00:02:27,199
And the backlash has been wild.

68
00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:31,007
Reddit, X,
you name it-people are ranting everywhere.

69
00:02:31,007 --> 00:02:34,281
I saw someone on X, @AudiophileGuru,

70
00:02:34,281 --> 00:02:37,671
just tear into the delay of restoring
accessibility features.

71
00:02:37,671 --> 00:02:39,865
And users with older devices?

72
00:02:39,865 --> 00:02:42,059
Totally left in the dust.

73
00:02:42,059 --> 00:02:45,345
Although, I have to give Conrad some
credit-he says they're working on

74
00:02:45,345 --> 00:02:49,687
fixes, like adding back legacy support
and rolling out a full UI restoration

75
00:02:49,687 --> 00:02:51,255
by fall 2025.

76
00:02:51,255 --> 00:02:53,823
That's at least something, right?

77
00:02:51,255 --> 00:02:53,823
Sure,

78
00:02:53,823 --> 00:02:55,541
but the damage is done, Between.

79
00:02:55,541 --> 00:02:58,734
You think those users are gonna wait
around for fixes?

80
00:02:58,734 --> 00:03:01,311
They've probably moved on to apps that
actually,

81
00:03:01,311 --> 00:03:05,306
you know, work.

82
00:03:01,311 --> 00:03:05,306
Hey, I feel like every company's been
there to some degree.

83
00:03:05,306 --> 00:03:09,183
I remember this one time at the startup I
used to work for-we were rushing

84
00:03:09,183 --> 00:03:13,363
to launch this IoT device, and we didn't
think through the user experience

85
00:03:13,363 --> 00:03:13,827
at all.

86
00:03:13,827 --> 00:03:16,904
Totally ignored feedback until after
launch,

87
00:03:16,904 --> 00:03:19,202
and wow, the problems just snowballed.

88
00:03:19,202 --> 00:03:21,871
It was a nightmare.

89
00:03:19,202 --> 00:03:21,871
Sounds about right.

90
00:03:21,871 --> 00:03:25,934
There's always some exec pushing for
deadlines over quality.

91
00:03:25,934 --> 00:03:29,905
Let me guess-it cost more to fix it after
launch than it would've to

92
00:03:29,905 --> 00:03:32,331
get it right the first time?

93
00:03:29,905 --> 00:03:32,331
Exactly!

94
00:03:32,331 --> 00:03:34,874
And that's what gets me about this Sonos
thing.

95
00:03:34,874 --> 00:03:38,264
They could've avoided all of this if
they'd just taken the time to really

96
00:03:38,264 --> 00:03:41,877
listen to users upfront, you know?

97
00:03:38,264 --> 00:03:41,877
It's a tale as old as time in tech.

98
00:03:41,877 --> 00:03:44,849
Innovate first, fix the fallout later.

99
00:03:44,849 --> 00:03:47,485
But hey,
at least Conrad's taking the heat.

100
00:03:47,485 --> 00:03:50,167
That's gotta count for something.

101
00:03:47,485 --> 00:03:50,167
True,

102
00:03:50,167 --> 00:03:50,585
true.

103
00:03:50,585 --> 00:03:53,406
But man,
it really feels like a missed opportunity.

104
00:03:53,406 --> 00:03:57,249
The app was supposed to be this big
evolution for their devices,

105
00:03:57,249 --> 00:03:59,490
especially with those Ace headphones.

106
00:03:59,490 --> 00:04:04,436
Instead, it's just a reminder of how not
to do a redesign-I mean,

107
00:04:04,436 --> 00:04:08,058
for their sake,
I hope they turn it around.

108
00:04:04,436 --> 00:04:08,058
Speaking of companies trying

109
00:04:08,058 --> 00:04:11,877
to get it right, Finn, Samsung seems to
be aiming for perfection this

110
00:04:11,877 --> 00:04:12,272
time.

111
00:04:12,272 --> 00:04:15,407
They just dropped their Galaxy S25 Edge,

112
00:04:15,407 --> 00:04:20,490
and it's like sci-fi level thin-5.

113
00:04:15,407 --> 00:04:20,490
85 millimeters-Wait,

114
00:04:20,490 --> 00:04:21,408
stop, you're serious?

115
00:04:21,408 --> 00:04:23,184
Five point eight five?

116
00:04:21,408 --> 00:04:23,184
Yes!

117
00:04:23,184 --> 00:04:24,705
It's thinner than your ThinkPad lid,

118
00:04:24,705 --> 00:04:25,344
I swear.

119
00:04:25,344 --> 00:04:29,013
And it's super light too, just 163 grams.

120
00:04:29,013 --> 00:04:33,427
I mean, come on, how futuristic is that?

121
00:04:29,013 --> 00:04:33,427
Futuristic until it slips out

122
00:04:33,427 --> 00:04:36,121
of your hand and cracks against the
future sidewalk.

123
00:04:36,121 --> 00:04:41,301
Thin phones are great until you remember
gravity exists.

124
00:04:36,121 --> 00:04:41,301
Well okay,

125
00:04:41,301 --> 00:04:45,214
let's talk durability, because this thing
has a titanium frame and Gorilla

126
00:04:45,214 --> 00:04:46,329
Glass Ceramic 2.

127
00:04:46,329 --> 00:04:49,160
It's not gonna shatter that easily.

128
00:04:46,329 --> 00:04:49,160
Sure,

129
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,574
and I bet the repair costs will shatter
your wallet.

130
00:04:51,574 --> 00:04:55,266
But go on-what's actually under the hood
here?

131
00:04:51,574 --> 00:04:55,266
Alright,

132
00:04:55,266 --> 00:04:56,532
alright, let's geek out.

133
00:04:56,532 --> 00:05:00,967
It's rocking a 6.

134
00:04:56,532 --> 00:05:00,967
7-inch AMOLED display-bright,

135
00:05:00,967 --> 00:05:04,241
crisp,
exactly what you'd expect from Samsung.

136
00:05:04,241 --> 00:05:07,445
And the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip,

137
00:05:07,445 --> 00:05:10,812
which, by the way, might just be the
fastest thing you've ever seen in

138
00:05:10,812 --> 00:05:12,054
a non-foldable phone.

139
00:05:12,054 --> 00:05:14,969
Oh, and the 200-megapixel main camera!

140
00:05:14,969 --> 00:05:16,933
Two hundred.

141
00:05:14,969 --> 00:05:16,933
Two hundred?

142
00:05:16,933 --> 00:05:19,487
What in the world are you gonna do with
that?

143
00:05:19,487 --> 00:05:20,985
Print billboards?

144
00:05:20,985 --> 00:05:25,315
It feels like we're just throwing bigger
numbers at cameras now.

145
00:05:20,985 --> 00:05:25,315
Okay,

146
00:05:25,315 --> 00:05:27,579
fair, but it's not just about the numbers.

147
00:05:27,579 --> 00:05:32,711
The photos are insane-like crazy-detailed
even with just a 2x digital

148
00:05:32,711 --> 00:05:33,222
zoom.

149
00:05:33,222 --> 00:05:37,041
Though sure, I'll give you this-it
doesn't have a telephoto lens.

150
00:05:37,041 --> 00:05:39,621
That's definitely a miss.

151
00:05:37,041 --> 00:05:39,621
And the battery?

152
00:05:39,621 --> 00:05:43,406
I'm guessing they had to cram in
something smaller to make it so thin,

153
00:05:43,406 --> 00:05:45,438
right?

154
00:05:43,406 --> 00:05:45,438
Ugh, yeah, the battery.

155
00:05:45,438 --> 00:05:48,376
It's 3, 900 milliamp hours, which is like,

156
00:05:48,376 --> 00:05:50,698
20% smaller than the S25 Plus.

157
00:05:50,698 --> 00:05:53,008
But hey, the trade-off is portability,

158
00:05:53,008 --> 00:05:56,756
right?

159
00:05:53,008 --> 00:05:56,756
Portability is great until your phone's
dead halfway through the

160
00:05:56,756 --> 00:05:57,105
day.

161
00:05:57,105 --> 00:06:02,736
I've seen this before, Between-remember
those first-gen smartphones?

162
00:06:02,736 --> 00:06:03,885
Same story.

163
00:06:03,885 --> 00:06:06,637
Fancy features, bad battery life,

164
00:06:06,637 --> 00:06:10,039
everyone scrambling for a charger by
lunchtime.

165
00:06:06,637 --> 00:06:10,039
Okay,

166
00:06:10,039 --> 00:06:12,442
yeah, yeah, but come on-this isn't 2007.

167
00:06:12,442 --> 00:06:13,278
It's optimized.

168
00:06:13,278 --> 00:06:15,333
You've got energy-efficient chips,

169
00:06:15,333 --> 00:06:16,935
OLED efficiency...

170
00:06:16,935 --> 00:06:19,536
and besides,
people carry power banks these days,

171
00:06:19,536 --> 00:06:23,009
problem solved.

172
00:06:19,536 --> 00:06:23,009
Right,
because what's better than a thin phone?

173
00:06:23,009 --> 00:06:25,099
Carrying a brick to keep it alive.

174
00:06:25,099 --> 00:06:30,194
Genius.

175
00:06:25,099 --> 00:06:30,194
Pfft, you know,
every innovation comes with trade-offs...

176
00:06:30,194 --> 00:06:34,373
And look, it's priced at $1, 100-premium,

177
00:06:34,373 --> 00:06:39,271
sure, but not ridiculously overpriced for
what it's packing.

178
00:06:34,373 --> 00:06:39,271
Not ridiculously

179
00:06:39,271 --> 00:06:40,235
overpriced?

180
00:06:40,235 --> 00:06:44,182
For a phone with compromises baked right
into the design?

181
00:06:44,182 --> 00:06:47,178
I guess if you're paying for style points,

182
00:06:47,178 --> 00:06:50,463
it makes sense.

183
00:06:47,178 --> 00:06:50,463
Hey, it's not all about practicality,

184
00:06:50,463 --> 00:06:50,881
Finn.

185
00:06:50,881 --> 00:06:54,213
Sometimes, people just want cool
tech-it's aspirational!

186
00:06:54,213 --> 00:06:56,837
I mean,
isn't that what innovation's about?

187
00:06:56,837 --> 00:07:00,717
Pushing limits and changing what's
possible?

188
00:06:56,837 --> 00:07:00,717
Innovation's great.

189
00:07:00,717 --> 00:07:04,549
But what's the point if you're trading
usability for thinness?

190
00:07:04,549 --> 00:07:08,717
I've seen a lot of cutting-edge tech go
the way of the dodo because it

191
00:07:08,717 --> 00:07:12,107
looked good but didn't deliver where it
counts.

192
00:07:08,717 --> 00:07:12,107
Well,

193
00:07:12,107 --> 00:07:13,071
only time will tell.

194
00:07:13,071 --> 00:07:17,622
But I gotta say, Finn, this phone feels
like a glimpse into where we're

195
00:07:17,622 --> 00:07:20,397
heading-smaller, lighter, sleeker.

196
00:07:20,397 --> 00:07:24,959
And even if it's not perfect,
it's definitely a bold move.

197
00:07:20,397 --> 00:07:24,959
Well,

198
00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:26,678
Finn, speaking of bold moves in tech,

199
00:07:26,678 --> 00:07:28,140
let's flip the script for a second.

200
00:07:28,140 --> 00:07:31,368
Forget hardware-Android 16 is coming,

201
00:07:31,368 --> 00:07:34,491
and from what I can tell, it's shaping up
to be a serious game-changer.

202
00:07:34,491 --> 00:07:38,019
I know deep down, you're curious.

203
00:07:34,491 --> 00:07:38,019
Game-changer,

204
00:07:38,019 --> 00:07:38,333
huh?

205
00:07:38,333 --> 00:07:40,620
I think I've heard you use that term,

206
00:07:40,620 --> 00:07:42,779
oh, about fifty times before.

207
00:07:42,779 --> 00:07:45,833
What's new this time, Between?

208
00:07:42,779 --> 00:07:45,833
Okay,

209
00:07:45,833 --> 00:07:46,529
hear me out.

210
00:07:46,529 --> 00:07:52,415
Material 3 is getting this huge
refresh-it's called Material 3 Expressive.

211
00:07:52,415 --> 00:07:57,245
Think vibrant animations, colors that
change based on your wallpaper-it's

212
00:07:57,245 --> 00:08:01,312
like your phone has its own personality
now!

213
00:07:57,245 --> 00:08:01,312
A phone with a personality...

214
00:08:01,312 --> 00:08:04,040
right, because that's exactly what we've
been missing.

215
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:09,659
Do these animations add any functionality
or just slow your phone down?

216
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:09,659
Oof,

217
00:08:09,659 --> 00:08:11,075
Finn, ever the cynic.

218
00:08:11,075 --> 00:08:13,420
But no, it's not just about looks!

219
00:08:13,420 --> 00:08:17,054
There's also a revamp to Quick
Settings-resize your tiles,

220
00:08:17,054 --> 00:08:20,770
one-click toggles, blurred
backgrounds-everything's so much smoother,

221
00:08:20,770 --> 00:08:21,989
easier to access.

222
00:08:21,989 --> 00:08:26,073
It's genuinely useful this time around.

223
00:08:21,989 --> 00:08:26,073
I'll believe "useful" when I see

224
00:08:26,073 --> 00:08:26,247
it.

225
00:08:26,247 --> 00:08:30,462
Every update claims to simplify things
and somehow makes it all more

226
00:08:30,462 --> 00:08:33,529
complicated.

227
00:08:30,462 --> 00:08:33,529
Oh, but hold on,
we're just getting started.

228
00:08:33,529 --> 00:08:38,045
What if I told you Android 16 is bringing
Live Updates notifications?

229
00:08:38,045 --> 00:08:41,377
It's kind of like iOS Live
Activities-Wait,

230
00:08:41,377 --> 00:08:41,876
iOS?

231
00:08:41,876 --> 00:08:44,778
Did you just admit Android is copying
Apple?

232
00:08:41,876 --> 00:08:44,778
Borrowing,

233
00:08:44,778 --> 00:08:46,195
Finn, borrowing!

234
00:08:46,195 --> 00:08:48,378
And besides, it's not a bad thing.

235
00:08:48,378 --> 00:08:52,580
Imagine tracking your rideshare in
real-time without opening the app.

236
00:08:52,580 --> 00:08:56,365
Or seeing your food delivery make its way
to your door-all with these

237
00:08:56,365 --> 00:08:59,247
super slick, always-on updates.

238
00:08:56,365 --> 00:08:59,247
Yeah,

239
00:08:59,247 --> 00:09:02,429
until the feature bugs out, and your
delivery driver ends up in another

240
00:09:02,429 --> 00:09:05,389
state.

241
00:09:02,429 --> 00:09:05,389
Oh come on,
you've gotta give credit where it's due!

242
00:09:05,389 --> 00:09:07,130
And don't forget Auracast.

243
00:09:07,130 --> 00:09:11,612
Picture this: Bluetooth LE audio sharing
at public venues.

244
00:09:11,612 --> 00:09:13,864
You're in an airport, and boom,

245
00:09:13,864 --> 00:09:17,092
you connect to the PA system for
crystal-clear announcements.

246
00:09:17,092 --> 00:09:19,844
Or share audio with a friend just by
tapping.

247
00:09:19,844 --> 00:09:24,927
Revolutionary, right?

248
00:09:19,844 --> 00:09:24,927
Or a hacker taps in and streams Rick
Astley to the

249
00:09:24,927 --> 00:09:25,705
whole terminal.

250
00:09:25,705 --> 00:09:28,537
Revolutionary indeed.

251
00:09:25,705 --> 00:09:28,537
Ha!

252
00:09:28,537 --> 00:09:29,304
Fair point.

253
00:09:29,304 --> 00:09:32,670
But seriously,
Android 16 doesn't stop there.

254
00:09:32,670 --> 00:09:37,489
They're introducing major updates for
large-screen devices-adaptive apps

255
00:09:37,489 --> 00:09:40,890
that'll finally make foldables and
tablets more than just weird niche

256
00:09:40,890 --> 00:09:45,642
experiments.

257
00:09:40,890 --> 00:09:45,642
So it only took a decade of foldables for
someone to figure

258
00:09:45,642 --> 00:09:47,290
out apps should actually work on them?

259
00:09:47,290 --> 00:09:49,322
Yeah, that's progress for you.

260
00:09:47,290 --> 00:09:49,322
Hey,

261
00:09:49,322 --> 00:09:51,040
someone has to push boundaries!

262
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,731
And don't forget the AI stuff-they're
integrating this crazy cloud-enabled

263
00:09:55,731 --> 00:09:56,485
photo picker.

264
00:09:56,485 --> 00:09:59,388
Finding that one random screenshot from
last year?

265
00:09:59,388 --> 00:10:00,131
Like magic.

266
00:10:00,131 --> 00:10:03,034
Plus, Vulkan graphics updates for gaming,

267
00:10:03,034 --> 00:10:06,586
and enhanced JobScheduler APIs for
developers-I mean,

268
00:10:06,586 --> 00:10:10,281
the possibilities are endless!

269
00:10:06,586 --> 00:10:10,281
Endless possibilities to overheat your

270
00:10:10,281 --> 00:10:12,510
phone while it tries to juggle all these
features,

271
00:10:12,510 --> 00:10:15,865
sure.

272
00:10:12,510 --> 00:10:15,865
Geez, Finn,
you really know how to dampen the vibe.

273
00:10:15,865 --> 00:10:19,882
Okay, but seriously, think about the
accessibility improvements.

274
00:10:19,882 --> 00:10:24,317
Like, they've added outline text for
better visibility-it's a little

275
00:10:24,317 --> 00:10:27,301
thing, but it makes a big impact for
users who need it.

276
00:10:27,301 --> 00:10:30,715
That's what makes Android 16 so
exciting-it's thoughtful,

277
00:10:30,715 --> 00:10:33,546
you know?

278
00:10:30,715 --> 00:10:33,546
I'll admit, that's not bad.

279
00:10:33,546 --> 00:10:38,236
I've always said the best tech is the
tech everyone can use.

280
00:10:38,236 --> 00:10:43,414
But let's see if they actually roll it
out smoothly-I've seen "exciting"

281
00:10:43,414 --> 00:10:48,129
betas turn into buggy messes more times
than I can count.

282
00:10:43,414 --> 00:10:48,129
Fair enough.

283
00:10:48,129 --> 00:10:51,832
Even I'll admit, Android hasn't always
been perfect with launches.

284
00:10:51,832 --> 00:10:56,070
But this time, I feel like they're really
learning from past missteps.

285
00:10:56,070 --> 00:11:00,087
June 3rd can't come fast enough!

286
00:10:56,070 --> 00:11:00,087
June 3rd is just around the corner,

287
00:11:00,087 --> 00:11:03,721
and honestly, I can't wait to get my
hands on Android 16 to see if it

288
00:11:03,721 --> 00:11:04,638
lives up to the hype.

289
00:11:04,638 --> 00:11:07,006
Speaking of hands-on experiences,

290
00:11:07,006 --> 00:11:11,557
that brings us to the end of another
packed episode-Sonos' app drama,

291
00:11:11,557 --> 00:11:14,994
Samsung's super thin Galaxy S25,

292
00:11:14,994 --> 00:11:18,314
Android 16 updates,
and all our quick hits.

293
00:11:18,314 --> 00:11:22,461
What a ride!

294
00:11:18,314 --> 00:11:22,461
Some of which I'm still not convinced are
as revolutionary

295
00:11:22,461 --> 00:11:24,957
as you think, Between, but hey,

296
00:11:24,957 --> 00:11:27,140
it's your show.

297
00:11:24,957 --> 00:11:27,140
Oh, come on, Finn,

298
00:11:27,140 --> 00:11:29,357
you gotta admit it was a fascinating
lineup!

299
00:11:29,357 --> 00:11:34,564
But hey, listeners, if you enjoyed this
episode-Or even if you didn't.-be

300
00:11:34,564 --> 00:11:37,107
sure to follow, like,
and leave us a comment on social media.

301
00:11:37,107 --> 00:11:40,695
Tell us what you think-did Samsung nail
it with the Edge?

302
00:11:40,695 --> 00:11:44,189
Are you hyped for Android 16-or
cautiously excited,

303
00:11:44,189 --> 00:11:47,764
like Finn?

304
00:11:44,189 --> 00:11:47,764
Skeptical is the word you're looking for.

305
00:11:44,189 --> 00:11:47,764
Ha,

306
00:11:47,764 --> 00:11:48,217
fair.

307
00:11:48,217 --> 00:11:50,504
But seriously, we wanna hear your takes.

308
00:11:50,504 --> 00:11:52,466
We'll be back Friday with more tech
stories,

309
00:11:52,466 --> 00:11:53,592
so don't miss it.

310
00:11:53,592 --> 00:11:58,448
Until then, stay curious, stay
skeptical-And don't install beta software

311
00:11:58,448 --> 00:11:59,296
without a backup.

312
00:11:59,296 --> 00:12:02,082
Just trust me on that one.

313
00:11:59,296 --> 00:12:02,082
Amen to that.

314
00:12:02,082 --> 00:12:05,286
Thanks for tuning in, and we'll catch you
next time on Tech Between the

315
00:12:05,286 --> 00:12:06,006
Lines!
