Chip Gate: A Reality in Smartphones?

I think chip gate is a thing and it's not a huge deal, but I also think it's something to consider. The two major companies that produce these chips are Samsung and Qualcomm. Despite their best efforts, they will never be identical.

Currently, there are several videos available online that discuss this issue in more detail. You can check them out if you're interested.

Now, let's talk about the last picture we took with our phones. I'll pick up my phone and show you the very last picture I took. Ah, here it is!

The Galaxy S7: A Solid Choice

For me, the Galaxy S6 was a solid choice, but there was one major issue - battery life. The 5000mAh battery just couldn't last through a full day of use.

One of my friends, Lamar, has a different experience with his phone. His first computer was a 486 Packard Bell, which he bought from another sales guy for $100. He's been using it ever since and has fond memories of AOL and CompuServe.

Recommendations for Non-Expensive First Vlogging Cameras

Lamar asked what recommendations we have for non-expensive first vlogging cameras. In our opinion, any smartphone with a decent camera can be used as a vlogging camera. The quality of the camera is more important than the model or brand.

We think that using a relatively new smartphone is the best option for vlogging. Even a three- or four-year-old smartphone can produce better video quality than many dedicated cameras.

To stabilize the phone, we recommend using a tripod mount. You can find affordable options online, such as this one, which allows you to drop your phone and have it stabilize automatically.

Finally, we want to thank Lamar for participating in our video. If you're interested in more content, be sure to check out his channel, where we played Yoshi's Woolly World - a lot of fun!

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthoughts on nintendo nx so yeah the wii u is uh what three years now we'll know something like that so it's really quick for uh for a console cycle however i think it's clear the wii u did not particularly perform as well as it might have i think compared to the wii at least yeah i think the naming was bad and maybe that the tablet interface making it mandatory wasn't the best thing i think a lot of people just didn't understand it right like a lot of people i still think even today don't realize the wii u is not just some like add-on for the wii but no i actually think it's interesting about the rumor as far as that there would be it would be much more powerful cutting edge hardware oh yeah you need to have like pc yeah i think bare minimum it needs to be as fast as the ps4 and xbox one and ideally it really needs to be more powerful right because yeah so those those are already out right the wii u is roughly maybe a little bit more powerful than a 360 and ps3 which was cool but immediately the new consoles came out and kind of made it almost obsolete as far as like being able to play the same game across consoles how long did it take you to perfect the hey guys it's austin uh so actually i didn't always say hey guys i think you've always said it oh actually i don't know let's see here are you going to your first video on the first video right now hey guys this is duncan you're watching my video i said that april 28 2009 see that was over six years ago opinions on iphone ship gate chip gate i haven't even heard about this one all this nerd talk aside what this means is that not all iphone successes are created equal how dare you make me watch one of your videos so for those of you who aren't aware chip gate chip gate is basically there are two different versions of the chips inside the iphone 6s one built by tsmc and one built by samsung now theoretically they should be identical however there are two totally different companies baking these chips and as close as they want to make them they're just not going to be the same it's not a huge deal right i think it definitely does make a difference and i mean even if it's only a 230 difference that's still noticeable right especially if you do a lot of gaming it will be higher than that i actually did do a video on it um several other people have done videos on it as well you guys could check out some of those but tldr chip gate is a thing it is not a huge deal but i also think it is something to consider what was the last picture you took with your phone all right so actually let's do this right now let's go through our phones pick up the very last picture yes here's mine la hates you go home yes that's actually i wrote that to him and then i uh i don't even i don't even try to explain it it just it just it just happens i mean sometimes you just got to take a picture with the flower i do what are your expectations for the galaxy s7 did you try the s6 um yeah okay so it's a phone i really like the galaxy s6 i think it's a solid phone i think that they i mean going to the glass of metal design was a huge advantage they cleaned up the software i mean that's a really solid phone i think the biggest problem for me was battery life the essex just would straight up not last me through a full day um so i think for me fanboy if they get better battery life i like the screen i think they should stick with the edge i think the edge is awesome they're just a good one they need to continue to copy off of apple so just keep it up samsung you're doing a good job the comments man i know i yeah what was your first computer my first computer was given to me when i worked at best buy in 1996. it was a 486 packard bill it was a yeah i bought it from the other sales guy for 100 bucks i got my monitors some use place and it was like it was my baby and that's and i had um i don't know it was aol or compuserve or one of those and then my and i had juno email wow that's old school yeah so i'm old guys hey guys my question is what are your recommendations for a non-expensive first vlogging cam the iphone 6s plus actually it's the one of the best i i mean i'm being silly with this video with the iphone so but like i have to uh the canon g7x which is you know if you want to have a solo camera it's really good but once this came out with the exception of not having wide angle right if the quality is so good i just i just i gave i sold the camera there's no need i actually i totally agree i don't necessarily think it has to be an iphone 7 yeah any of these new yeah any of these new cameras any like remotely new smartphone i think is absolutely the way to go even like a smartphone is like three or four years old would be a better camera than what i started with so i think if you have any kind of remotely decent smartphone get it and then if you want to shoot maybe something a little bit more high-end just get like a little tripod mount right i mean you can get one for like 15 oh hello right here so you could just drop your phone in this and you could have a little bit of a tripod so you don't always have like hold the the camera this is great something like this plus a smartphone is all you need to get started in fact it's all you need to like run a pretty decent channel really yeah all right so thanks for being in the video absolutely check out one more video you can go over to lamar's channel where we played yoshi's woolly world which is actually a lot of fun really well so as always you guys can hit us up on
