Pocketnow Weekly Podcast

The Samsung Galaxy S21 line has arrived and JV brings on David Imel to talk about his review unit (Josh didn't get his yet at the time of this recording) -- but before all that, the two talk digital CES 2021! ASUS is the focus of their discussion, as they announced a lot of great gaming and productivity laptops during the show. Follow our guests!

CES 2021 is here, but we are not there. That's right, the tech trade show that starts every calendar year has gone virtual and everyone -- including JV and Nick Gray -- are sitting at home enjoying the fact that they don't have to walk 20000+ steps a day or wear a heavy backpack for hours on end. They do miss being in the fray and actually experiencing the products announced during the show. Well, at least they can get together for an IG Live and talk through the products which caught their attention.

Friends, it has been one hell of a week. It's almost cliche to say that after the way 2020 went, but hardly anyone expected an insurrection to actually occur at the Capitol. What follows is part of our conversation today, which is how social media networks can actually tackle misinformation in the wake of actually blocking the President of the United States. We didn't want this whole episode to be too heavy, so it is sandwiched between talks of what CES 2021 could have been and some thoughts on OnePlus' attempt at a really affordable phone in America, the Nord N10 5G.

Nick Gray of Phandroid brings his video idea of talking favorite 2020 smartphones to the podcast, as JV laments over the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 -- don't get us wrong, the game is amazing on PC, but the ongoing controversy is really leaving a bad taste in everyone's mouth.

Jaime jumps on to talk about one of his most exciting products of the year -- after convincing JV to buy one. We're talking, of course, about the new Macbooks with the Apple M1 processor! These surprisingly great little laptops are shifting the paradigm and while Jaime has always been a believer, JV shares his begrudged feelings regarding becoming a Macbook user for the first time. Before that, however, the two get into what they are thankful for this year, just after enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday.

JV grills TK Bay on why he didn't get on the wave of preorders for the iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro -- obviously they're joking around -- and talk through why the Mini and the Pro Max might be the more interesting phones still on their way in a couple of weeks. After that, TK flexes his Huawei Mate 40 Pro after JV gives some thoughts on a new #gifted pair of Montblanc headphones!

Phandroid's Nick Grey helps JV slowly regain consciousness after pulling an all-nighter to order his new iPhone at 5am PDT. As excited as they are for the new iPhones, the Pixel 5 and OnePlus 8T that are actually in their hands provide even more fun during a busy tech week. Oh, and the LG Wing? They have that too, but that was saved for the IG Live post-show hangout, which will be released tomorrow!
