**Unpacking the Galaxy Note 5 and S6 Edge+**

As Samsung gears up to unveil its latest flagship devices at their Unpacked event, tech enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the reveal of the highly anticipated Galaxy Note 5 and the rumored Galaxy S6 Edge+. With the event set to take place on the 13th, I'll be bringing you all the details and thoughts from the big reveal.

**The Galaxy Note 5: A Battery Locked In**

One of the most significant changes in the new Galaxy Note 5 is the battery, which appears to be locked into the device. This move away from traditional removable batteries has left many fans disappointed, as it limits the user's ability to replace the battery and potentially extend the life of their device. However, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the device and experiencing its capabilities firsthand.

**Design and Display**

The Galaxy Note 5 bears a striking resemblance to the Galaxy S6, with an edge-type effect on the back that has been touted as innovative by Samsung's design team. While I appreciate the attention to detail in the design, I was hoping for a glass back instead of plastic – something that many fans had been craving since the release of the Galaxy Note 4.

**The SOC and Performance**

The Galaxy Note 5 is expected to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7422 SOC, which replaces the 7420 model found in previous devices. This upgrade should bring significant performance improvements, although I'll need to see it in action to be convinced. With the recent Moto X style release showcasing an LCD display, I'm curious to see if Samsung will adopt a similar approach.

**The S6 Edge+: A Similar Experience**

While the Galaxy Note 5 is expected to have some unique features, including an S Pen and the S Pen suite of tools, the rumored Galaxy S6 Edge+ appears to be a more conventional device. With a 5.7-inch display and a quad-core SOC, this device seems like it will offer a similar experience to its Note 5 counterpart.

**Moto X Style: A New Approach**

Motorola's recent release of the Moto X style has caught my attention, particularly with its adoption of an LCD display and relatively affordable price point. The device boasts a 5.7-inch quad-HD display, a quad-core SOC, and a 21-megapixel camera – all at under $400. I'm eager to get my hands on one of these devices and experience the improvements Motorola has made over their previous offerings.

**Camera Capabilities**

One area where Motorola shines is in its camera capabilities. The new Moto X style features an improved 21-megapixel camera, which Motorola is touting as a significant upgrade from previous models. While I've had issues with cameras on other devices, including the Nexus 6 and Moto X, I'm hopeful that this device will deliver better results.

**The Verdict**

As I conclude my thoughts on these upcoming devices, I'm left feeling a mix of excitement and disappointment. The Galaxy Note 5's battery locked-in design is a step in the wrong direction for some fans, while the S6 Edge+ seems like a more conventional device that won't offer as much innovation. On the other hand, Motorola's Moto X style release is a breath of fresh air, offering a new approach to smartphone design and a promising camera system.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey everybody this is Erica the technology nerd likes to film stuff and i am recording this video off of the sony rx100 mark for so what I want to do right now is just to test this video quality as it would just blogging in front of my normal camera i also have my zoom h2n microphone that i'm recording into and i am recording on to the onboard audio as well now unfortunately there is no way to plug in my microphone with a line in into the camera so i'm just going to have to sync things later we'll see how the quality is between the rx100 and the zoom h2n also what i want to do is thank you guys also so much for the 400,000 subscribers I can't even tell you how grateful that I am you guys have just been so amazing and your continued support allows me to do this crazy thing for a living so just thank you thank you so so much I just had to come on here and thank you for that it's been kind of crazy lately but I just have to come on and really thank you so in addition to thanking you guys wanted to share how i became a video blogger and reviewer that's a huge question that I get pretty often like how do you get into this how in the world did I get started in this and honestly it was kind of an accident I didn't really mean to so just when I was in high school or at least I think I'd gotten out of high school I was just making fun videos about Tamagotchis because I loved them and that's just honestly how I got started and then I started using YouTube as a form of expression while I was in college I was a digital media production minor so I was kind of toying around with my channel of that oh yeah balance 3 right they're gonna charge and then an unfortunate thing happened I was going for a cognitive science and I had specialization and what I can't remember anymore but that specialization that I really wanted to go into was cancelled right in the middle of me doing it so I guess one of the teachers dropped out and there was not so us to fill the spot in the department so they just said well sorry you guys are gonna have to find a new specialization we won't resume classes until 2015 when we can have someone else in the department and it was a big mess so I was left not knowing what in the world that I wanted to do with my life I knew that I loved digital media production I was always a drama nerd I was always singing and doing things like that have yourself a merry little Christmas make the Yuletide gay from the ward oh true box will be miles away I here we are as in olden days so I knew I wanted to entertain in some way but I also loved technology so I was watching reviews on YouTube and I thought hey yeah you know I can do that I think I can do that and so I just kind of started filming technology videos I was treating my youtube channel as an internship kind of wanted to really take it seriously and see if i could get anywhere with it for those of you who don't know i work at petco or at least a few seconds or maybe today I don't know what I'm gonna do it I'll say that I did or get petco it yeah I just I don't want to work here anymore at all and so this is my confession that I am quitting and you guys started subscribing and people started watching and it just is all history from there so thanks a lot teachers at UCSD and for the department shutting down then because of that this is now what I do so thanks thanks a lot as far as getting devices a lot of them i purchased for myself but as you start gaining a following you start being able to go to events like mobile world congress you start getting invited to go to press events and then as you start gaining a relationship with oems they are willing to loan you devices plus you can work with third party companies and you can get devices in exchange for talking about them so there's a lot of different options it does take quite a long time to build up and to get that type of trust but it's completely doable you just have to continue with what you're doing you can't stop you have to continue and do this as if it's your life's desire that's one of the things you can't just make a video here once a month or this or that you really have to go for it and it was something that I really love doing was just really going for it and putting all that I had into it so if you are consistent you learn your own type of characterization and who you are on camera your own uniqueness and people come and they and they watch for you and they also watch for the content so don't let anybody ever tell you that you're not good enough that no one's going to watch your content this or that you just need to know who you are as a creator and know what you want to present to people and if you really keep up with it and your constant and you don't let yourself down or sell out then I think that you can build a channel as well it's just really about consistency and coming up every week I do release a video every week some people don't think that I do but I really I really do so there really is no huge secret to this YouTube channel thing although I would say get yourself a decent camera get yourself some decent lighting and a decent microphone and that really really helps you these days I see that if you don't have really good quality but the content is there people still aren't so interested unless you have the quality that is there so pay attention to that it is an investment to get all this stuff together but it really does pay off so now I decided to switch to my regular camera this is the sony p j79 TV i happen to really like this camera i like what it does with the skin tones and it's got a good bit of controls for me to mess about with kind of a prosumer tip of a camera also briefly i want to mention that i'm going to be going to New York for the release of the galaxy note 5 and what looks to be the galaxy s6 edge+ so I'm going to be in New York it's going to be on the 13th that all this is going to be unveiled as Samsung's unpacked event that's usually what they call it the unpacked event some thoughts on this galaxy note5 that we're going to be seeing a lot of people I think are going to be bummed out because of the leaked images it looks like the thing is going to have the battery locked in there it's hard to say if there's going to be an SD card slot but I really don't think that there's going to be an SD card slot this note 5 is going to really look like the galaxy s6 it's going to have it looks like it has an edge type of effect but on the back this time so I'm really not sure what to think about that mitted Lee really do like the galaxy s6 so then carrying it around for quite some time now and it's nice but I really like the freedom of the galaxy note 4 and the removable battery so I'm i don't i don't really know what to think i'm gonna have to go and play with it and i will definitely let you all know when i get there but i have to say that i am a little disappointed i didn't want a glass back again and looks like that's what we're getting so it looks like we're going to be getting the x and o's 7422 SOC inside of instead of 7420 so hopefully we'll see some nice improvements as for the s6 edge plus i don't really care for the s6 edge so i don't really think i'm going to care too much for the s6 edge plus it's going to have a 5.7 inch display like the note 5 five point seven inches really what i see a difference between them is that the note 5 has an S Pen and will have the S Pen suite of features but other than that we're probably going to be seeing very similar things across the board except for I expect the s6 plus edge s edge plus whatever they're calling this thing to have some 420 for the SOC instead of 7 for 22 so I will let you all know I am however really excited about the Moto X style that was just released I did not get a chance to go to the New York event and play with it but I'm happy that we're now seeing an LCD display I do love AMOLED displays especially on my s6 but I saw that Motorola is having some issues with a lot of either ghosting or burnin I saw both on their displays that was a huge problem that I had with both the Moto X and also the Nexus 6 I won't even get into that but a lot of people were reporting or seeing similar things so I feel pretty justified in saying this so it looks like Motorola has jumped on the LCD bandwagon we're not going to be seeing any more burnin issues with their device so it's going to have a 5.7 inch display also has a really great price of under four hundred dollars which i think is pretty awesome we're seeing the same SOC and as the LG g4 which i love i really love the LG g4 and i think that the SOC was just perfectly powerful enough we are seeing that quad HD display as well it's also got a couple of configurations for storage and SD card slot and we've got a 21 megapixel camera which i'm hearing motorola just bragging about how improved it is now the camera on the Moto X sucked really bad ironically i saw that the camera of the Moto G the new Moto G that was last year 2014 did better in many circumstances than the Moto X camera so I'm curious to get my hands on one of these I really do love Motorola's phones there's just something about them I feel really comfortable in I usually place them in my top five list so I want you to get my hands on one of those I didn't get to go to the event but I want to have one as soon as possible play around with it so this is all that I wanted to say for now this might have been a long video of me talking endlessly but I've just been testing out to the rx100 mark for and also my camera you can all let me know what you think of a designated video camera here versus a point-and-shoot that also has some video capabilities I personally think that this is going to win out every time so this has been erica the technology nerd likes to build so please rate comment and subscribe it is now almost three in the morning I'm really good at this it just being complete insomniac and filming till all hours of the nighthey everybody this is Erica the technology nerd likes to
