A Thin and Light Galaxy Unpacked! S25 Edge Hype Stream

all right what's up everybody welcome to a special Galaxy S25 Edge live stream

extravaganza uh I'm trying to get some stuff set up here for the mystery box

list everybody who signed up so I'm going to be doing that colin will be on in just a minute so as people file into

the chat um just kind of kind of enjoy chatting i see uh Voodoo got Z Mobile's

big phones in the chat got a lot of people are usually here for the podcast uh I'm going to send out a quick

newsletter or text blast to everybody to remind them that everything is going live in 30 minutes so everyone's aware

and then once I do that we can get started on some other things let's see here just double check

this to make sure it's the right link and everything

there we go and I'll get that sent out to

everybody recipients here we go and

send now all right so that should be send me

post over on Facebook make sure I've got the right link for Facebook

a lot of logistics to doing the mystery box stuff but uh still wanted to stream

with you guys today curious who is ordering the S25 Edge okay we got that posted on Facebook

let's see who else is in the chat while I was doing that david's here what's up David how's it going voodoo's

there mist hey what's up tech boss do you know the price yet uh I may know the

price but I can't disclose any of that for the next 29 minutes but we'll find out in 29 minutes i'll have a lot of

things I can say in 29 minutes 28 minutes now so I have a lot of things I

can share with you about the device that I know but I can't share for 28 minutes

what's up Victor Lever how's it going paul how's it going benjamin in

the chat yes I was in New York for business related to this launch last

week i was there i flew in on Thursday night uh I had some business on Friday

and I flew back on Saturday afternoon so I just got back less than 48 hours ago

to Phoenix and then trying to get everything going here on the launch welcome in the kill is new here we go

larry's here larry has been around here for quite a while robert Paul we got a lot of people

in here um we're also dealing with a crisis at Sammy Guru because Slack is

like not working which is not great for any business we use Slack for our team communications not really a great uh

really not great to have that happen on a launch day but apparently it's being

very annoying um got everything yes the links

did go out in the text message uh I sent out a link to the smartphone general

smartphone page because that is usually the page that goes live like first and

so if you're on the text list you got that link um that's the link I would

recommend like using to start refreshing because usually it will go live here first i'll put it in the chat too once

Colin gets here he can like pin it or whatever but I'll have the actual product links at 5:00 PM Arizona 8:00 PM

Eastern time i cannot share the exact product links because of my agreement

with Samsung until that time the time the uh launch happens but this is the

general Samsung product page for smartphones in general so as all the phones um and that is a page you can

start refreshing now i've been refreshing that page as well because I'm going to order one too when they go live

and usually the phones like they show up here first and then the individual product pages will show up so that will

be that will be that

um and uh yeah Slack Slack being down is not great but um anyway let's talk about

uh what people are looking forward to oh says if it's got a silicon carbide battery wink twice well I would say it

would be a little weird if Samsung put a silicon carbide battery in here but not

in the Ultra that's what I would say because I mean then that would be a huge

differentiating factor over the Ultra i would say I don't know that they want the Ultra to have any disadvantages

to this other than just the thinness that'd be my comment for the most I can say for another 25 minutes but uh yeah

I'm super excited for this poem too and like I said I will share some very specific impressions and some photos as

well of my thoughts and assets that I was able to get from my time in New York

when it goes live and when I'm able to do it um I think this is a compelling device that maybe a lot of people have

underestimated this device um a lot of people think that it's just a device

where Samsung is kind of trying to copy what Apple is going to do with the iPhone 17 Air and trying to get ahead of

that and that they don't really feel like there's any consumer demand for this but um I don't think that's true

based off of what I've seen from the mystery box signups there's a lot of people interested in this device i'm going to open my soda so sorry if it

makes a loud noise uh the Galaxy ring cory has a Galaxy ring i have one too right here

actually i wear it on my wedding finger even though that's not where you're supposed to wear it i just kind of got

used to it and I bought the wrong size and I never switched to a bigger size because my index finger is obviously

larger um it's not really I don't know if it's it really depends on your needs

it doesn't have as many features as the S25 Ultra theoretically because you're going to miss the S Pen obviously that's

already been disclosed so I'm not saying anything new there but I mean obviously you're going to miss the S Pen but if

you don't use the S Pen a lot then I don't really see it's not a huge deal the one thing is of course you're you're

not getting the third camera based on all the leaks that we've seen right there's no telephoto so um if you use

the telephoto a lot that could be a reason not to buy it and I certainly understand people who want the telephoto

but yeah if you don't use the pen at all I mean that's one of the big things from the S25 Ultra and like I said I can tell

you guys my exact pros and cons list when we go when we get close to the launch time when we get there 24 minutes

of what I think S25 Ultra versus Edge what what is really the trade-off for sure

trying to check in with the team to see what's going on since Slack is down what

a disaster slack picked the worst day to go down here on a launch day for us

anyway trying to see if the people can read any of my messages okay they good

that's good uh I don't know anybody else plan to upgrade from an older device

what about the cost well that's another thing that I can tell you in 23 minutes

um I would say Samsung is smart right and they're not going to price it they're obviously not going to price it

above the Ultra everyone can figure that out they're probably going to try to split it between some of the devices in

the lineup so it makes sense and doesn't cannibalize any other devices that's

that's what I would say um so you know that's probably probably makes the most

sense but yeah we can talk about exact price for sure we get to the launch

time um let me go ahead and retweet this post I made

earlier and make sure everyone is ready to go here colin will be joining us today as

well so if anyone is excited about seeing Colin and

not hearing me just talk to myself that will be happening soon he'll be hopping on with

us put that there all right it looks like I finally

got the text message from myself with the link did anybody else get the text

message who's on the uh Mystery Box signup list i think Miss Tech Boss said

she got hers right will the Edge make the plus models obsolete well I don't know because of course people who want

telephotos right they might opt for it in this case

um we might opt for the plus and the Edge doesn't have the telephoto so I

don't know i mean it kind of does make sense some people don't necessarily want the S Pen and they may not use the

telephoto that much there's there are people out there who don't use telephoto really at all so you know possibility

what's up Obnav one of our writers at Sammy Guru the man the myth the legend

this guy cranks out content all day every day i love my writers we have one of the best teams in the world over at

Sammy Guru i could not do what we're doing without those guys because I can't write 20 pieces of content a day and

make videos every day and do all the logistics finance and all that stuff for the business so these guys bring it so

meet all the guys are working right now they're up early it's like five o'clock in India right now five in the morning

which is insane uh well lots of people if you want thin and light

profile I I think lots of people based on the fact that there's a lot more interested in this than I thought i

thought when we put up the mystery box link that there wouldn't be that many people interested in this but there's

actually quite a few people I think that will be interested in this so I guess

we'll have to see how many people would buy this over the edge but I think some people will for sure so

um watching Floss is Floss

streaming is Floss streaming today or is he are you talking about a video i didn't know he was

streaming yeah I'm a slacker man i I don't know i need to be able to write 20 articles a day

do all the behind the scenes stuff edit all my videos and all that stuff so I don't know about

that based on things that I can talk about in 19

minutes I would say that's not necessarily true um oh I didn't know Floss was streaming

the the launch that's cool though um well that's not great for us to compete

with Floss luckily I just do this for fun on the mystery box newsletter list and stuff is what makes me money if I was competing with floss to try to

actually sell phones I'd feel pretty bad i just give up but luckily we have a

massive list of people who are already on the uh who already on the mystery box signup list

so but uh but we might stream just for an hour or so we'll see this is not a

big launch last time obviously I did the stream because I

wasn't at the event i'm not sure it's going to happen in July since I probably will be at the event but I don't

know samsung's like "You're going to come to the July event." But I'm like I don't know can I come to the July event

i don't know if it's if it's positive return on investment for me i have people who want to order mystery boxes

and being here might be more valuable than being at the event so I appreciate that man but Floss obviously has the

about 10x the subs I have so just from a analytics point of view uh if I were

doing this you know if this was the main way to make money from this then it would be a bad idea to stream against

floss but this is just for fun and then trying to do the other stuff while I'm here covering Google IO they didn't

invite me man uh they did not invite me to the in-person event there's the streaming

event we will cover a bunch of Google IO news at Sammy Guru of course right um

but I I won't be there i after COVID they like took away all the physical

invites only like the top people like MKBHD and all all the huge blogs get

invited and uh since we obviously cover Samsung primarily and not Pixel uh I

didn't get a physical on the ground invite i would definitely go if they invited me

but uh we will cover all the news obviously because Google is very relevant to Samsung since Android is

what runs on your Samsung phone as long as that's the case we'll always be covering a lot of Google news for sure

so let's see if anybody new has signed up for the S25 Edge launch oh there's a couple people some people have been

signing up the last minute people out here slacking they're like "We're going to sign up at the last minute why

not?" Makes sense just go ahead and sign up right now uh let's see we

got 340 people signed up for the Edge from the US we always get a bunch of like international people too but that's

a pretty decent number of people I would say so it's not a bad number at all so I I think that's a pretty good number

um the product pages like I said are going to go live at five o'clock but if you refresh the link I put in the chat

you have a good chance to this link you have a good chance to get the phone

ordered early because they usually go live on the smartphone page before um

they go live on the individual pages is your son lend you one of his toys for the launch i do have the Brachiosaurus

right here yeah I always have a couple of toys around the office that he gives

me i need to put them in the videos again but we've Sammy grew has grown a lot and things have gotten bigger i I

need to be better about it but I do way too many things right now i always have a lot of stuff of my son i've got a

picture of the kids right here too my two sons there's my smaller son as well right there just right here on the uh right

there on the computer in front of me where my dual monitors are so

Um so here's the thing if you're thinking about the edge you really have

to think about the one thing I would say and I'll talk more about this in 15

minutes is you got to think about the battery life needs that you have that's the one thing I would say it's no

surprise because we've already seen the leaks the battery is and it's just

thinner obviously right it's like it's not going to have the as good of a battery life it's going to be not on par

with the S25 Ultra right so that's that's one thing that you should kind of

be aware of let me check in with the guys on Slack i I didn't

[Music]

[Music]

All right sorry [Music]

here they give you guys give big discounts for trade in um well I would

say the discount's not going to probably be as big as the Ultra because it's not as going to probably be as expensive of a phone the discount's always the

tradein's always proportional to the price so if you think about it it's kind of close to the the plus in the pricing

so it's probably going to be pretty close to like the same price as the same

trade-in values as the plus so if you go back and think about what the plus had this is not me giving you any specific

information that I know if you go back to January and you look at the tradein for the plus right um it was around 650

I think 650 to 700 so um that's probably where you're going to expect the

trade-in values to be and like I said I can definitely give a lot more specifics here when I'm legally able to do that in

13 minutes but that's what I would say historically what color are you going to get well I'm probably going to go icy blue

it's not the same blue as this one this is the S25 Ultra the blue is not quite the same

color there's three colors we've seen in the leaks that's already been leaked so that's not

anything specifically new but there's three colors we can talk about the names

soon but uh it's not the same color as the Ultra the jet black looks great

um the jet black looks great i I would say I wouldn't go with the titanium silver or whatever they're going to call

that middle the the silver one i wish they would have went with the I wish

they would have went with the white silver that they had on the Ultra because I like the white silver

um what would really be interesting is what if the S Pen would work with the Edge wouldn't that be crazy if it was

like an optional accessory i don't think they would do that but people would like that right because then you could like

have the S Pen with the Edge but that might be kind of tricky because of the digitizer um that has to go on there for

the Ultra but that is something that could be interesting like we never know

what if they did that

um we've got 12 minutes left 12 minutes left i'm kind of curious to see what

this event's going to be like like are they going to do is it going to be very short and they're just going to do some

video packages are they actually going to have people talking about various things i mean obviously there'll

probably be something to say about Galaxy AI again they'll probably talk a little bit about

the battery life situation because I think some people are probably worried about

that yeah for sure remember you guys can use our link floss says hi tell Floss I

said hi as well um always love Floss i got to get him on

the show podcast one day for sure just been super busy and it's been hard to as we've been building this

We appreciate that Floss i give Floss a shout out too i I co-sign his stream of course and not that not that Floss needs

me to co-sign his stream but I really appreciate him always and and he was one of the reasons why I uh he's one of the

reasons why I started doing YouTube in the first place so I wouldn't have built Sammy Guru and all the stuff I've done in the first place don't ask about that

that's a disaster we don't want to ruin the mood what quarterback situation they don't have a quarterback

bloss is coming to our stream really that would be nice i appreciate that um

if Bloss came over here that'd be crazy um we're waiting on Colin too

where the heck is that guy let me check on Colin and ask where he is what's this guy

doing oh Colin says he's going to be here in five minutes but that was 10 minutes ago

what's this guy doing right now two people said philos all right well we we will

appreciate that we would appreciate if Colin gets over here as well that I mean while this could be

true Samsung maybe sees this as a test of whether or not there's any demand for

this product and if there's demand for it next year we already know that

they're going to implement silicon carbide on the S26 series so the next

version will likely be much improved right so that could be very interesting

for sure my Audi yes my Audi SQ8 I got an accident last Monday it's going to be

recovered yeah it's not completely total they're repairing it it's going to take a few weeks but it's going to be

okay uh yeah I don't know how you're much you're going to be happy with George Piggins george Pickkins is not

exactly he's he's he was a a very difficult guy to get along with for the Steelers locker room from what I've

heard so uh Colin says he's joining now so we'll have Colin in

here never really knew what about the about my car accident yes I posted on X

last week someone hit me from behind while I was stopped and then bumped me into another car uh and so it's not that

great yes we got nine minutes nine minutes to go and like I said if you

guys refresh this page especially if you're going to I agree Larry that would have been nice

the M14 display we can definitely talk more about the display there's a couple of things that people wanted from the

S25 Edge display so we'll have to talk a little bit about what is on offer there

um luckily like I said I can talk about everything that I know when we start at

5 when the event starts 5 Arizona 8:00 p.m eastern if you guys start refreshing this link this is the all smartphones

page that's also the link that works for the mystery box and then also the verification page is already up too so

here's the verification page right there um after you order

verify your order put your address in so we can ship the mystery box we have less boxes than usual this time i have 500

total i don't think we're gonna get anywhere near 500 but I bought enough product for 500 so if we sell 500

mystery boxes for this that'll blow my mind i think we'll probably do like 150 200 maximum there's not going to be 500

boxes but that'd be pretty cool if it happens where is this guy calling what

is this guy doing hopefully Samsung's website

doesn't crash though because this is a smaller launch i do know AEX aex is a very great

YouTuber as well he does a great job he makes very similar content to me um and

he's a nice guy though he is a nice guy i'm a guy who if someone has good

content I'd say "Hey you should watch them too why not?" New features um well some of the

features new features already been leaked the new Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 is coming to the display which

should help with the durability because people are worried about it because it's so thin um and then of course the

thinness i don't think you should expect any crazy new features aside from that because

obviously the main point of this is to have minimal weight and profile

um in addition to kind of also having other Oh that's very nice of him i uh

I've shouted him out actually quite a few times in my videos and I've also I've also linked some of his content

before and we've posted and referenced him at Sammy Guru as well uh the ZFold stuff is going to be crazy if I'm honest

with you I'm more hyped for the ZFold 7 launch than I am the Edge but you know I'm still excited about the Edge because

I do think it's a compelling product for some people but the ZFold 7 is going to be insane i just dropped a video today

on the ZFold Special Edition month review what's up Colin so if you guys want to hear if you want to see the

ZFold 7 preview go check out the ZFold Special Edition six-month review i

posted this today um and it's going to be great for sure

um so I mean it's going to be amazing the foldable launch will be absolutely amazing we already have the mystery

boxes open for that as well colin you go ahead and talk about the Edge for a second i got to set up a few things

colin how are you feeling about the Edge i want to know are you pre-ordering the Edge or not and if you are what color

are you getting what what concerns do you have maybe in five minutes I can tell you uh if any of your concerns are

valid because I I can say your stuff in five minutes so about the phone no uh I

might order one but I'm having a a skin graft tomorrow so we'll see how that goes and then I'll decide whether I uh a

skin yeah they got to patch the spot where they did the ankle fusion

that's insane it didn't patch itself so is a skin graft painful it's not that

painful is it uh so I had one before and they took about a 4 by3 section off my

thigh and it wasn't at first and then the next day it felt like rug burn like I got drugged down the street for about

a week like it was just like constantly being drugged down the street is what it felt like uh and especially like cuz I

couldn't walk when I had that so like when I put pressure on my knee cuz I basically just like crawled around it

was like it would like compress it a little bit it was like the worst like stinging feeling ever but after that it was it itched for a week after that and

then it was basically whatever i see not really but it's better than

the hole in my foot so you know no one wants No one wants a hole in their foot

i think we can all agree on that hole in your foot doesn't seem like a good time

so they're gonna start that tomorrow they're not gonna take they're not gonna take mine tomorrow because they got to kind of like get it ready for that

there's other like stuff they have to do so they'll go in and do that and then like a week or two they'll hopefully use

mine but yeah I mean I I like the only the only concern I have about the Edge is the the battery life i mean it looks

like a nice thin device it looks like it's pretty a pretty good form factor it's just because the battery life is

going to be kind of the determining factor could be a little could be a little suspect

i'm not going to lie that's probably make me want to wait that until we see

but the battery life could be a little concerning potentially

um definitely uh I haven't seen the P pages go live just yet but I think

Samsung's going to have the page go live right at uh the correct time today so hopefully because it's not like a crazy

big launch so it should be you know hopefully a little more chill than the previous launches where you know like

sometimes the site will completely crash i don't expect the site's going to crash this year but you never know you know it

could but hopefully not never know with a smaller with a smaller um niche launch

it should be okay i don't know what we're waiting i don't

know if I've I think I mentioned this last time didn't I on mention the uh

stylus 2025 oh yeah yeah the motor 2025 yes the the

battery Ultra slim phone how are you going to do a slim Ultra though the battery life on that would be even worse

because then it would have all these features and then also you would have to have it'd be thin i mean maybe next year

with the silicon carbide maybe thin battery but I don't really know exactly

how that's going to work otherwise you know what I mean it's like I'm not sure

if that's really possible so yes I will have all the links it looks like the links pages are going to be ready right

here at five o'clock so if you've been refreshing that other page they should go live but I'm going to have direct

links to the S25 Edge pages in about 90 or 80 seconds they're going to be going

live here so get ready to add the cart and if you're doing the mystery box make sure you do our verification page i put

the link already but I'll have another link if you guys want it's going to be all over all of our stuff of course so

you can go and and find it and all that stuff the text list will have the link i'm sending it out via email X Facebook

it'll be all the places with all the things so you guys can find the links there

i dusted this off for for the event you did yep i've been using been using the

iPhone what is that what this what is it sorry I can't see i'm on the other screen getting ready to send everything

out s25 Ultra oh okay i've been using my iPhone because it works so it's been

chilling getting ready to send this out to everybody we're ready to fire it

up we're excited about it

all right I'm about to hit publish on this the text should go out pretty quickly because I'm only sending the

live text to everybody who signed up for the list the Edge25 edge list

and then it'll Larry sent me a DM1X said we're waiting before I got here there we go there's

that that one went out let me send it out on Sammy Guru let me post it over on

Facebook all right let me post the link in the chat for all you guys if you want to order here here it

is link is live there's all the links ready to go pin that real quick can you pin that

Colin i'm gonna go back to X and I'm going to retweet all the links

so I have that make sure everybody can get their stuff ready to

go let me go down to my stuff here s25 Edge is live pre-order now and

get $50 bonus credit you get a free storage

upgrade with a case cleaning kit this time you get a screen protector in the mystery box by the way and more so you

get all that stuff we are having screen protectors in the boxes this time which is pretty awesome this is the first time

we've ever had screen protectors inside the box um so I'm pretty excited about

that um hopefully you know everyone will

will be able to you know hopefully see the value in having that uh I sent the

like I said the text also went out everything everyone should be receiving let me know if you guys are receiving them if you're on the list it's always

tough to live stream and do this anyway now I can talk about the S25 Edge i think I've sent out all the links let me

check in with the guys on the site just make sure everything is good over here

um see if they need anything from me but I can talk about it now let me open up my photos that I took i'll share them

with you guys so you guys can see the hands-on photos I took um let me go to

present share screen it will be this window right here and there they are i

traveled to New York like I said last week um and I got some time hands-on

with the S25 Edge you guys can see here this is the Edge versus the Ultra right here there's the Edge versus the Ultra i

took a shot several shots of that this is the bottom profile of the Edge i will say it's incredibly light in the hand

and thin i was honestly very surprised when I held it i think you just have to hold this device so you know if you're

if you're not sure yet some of you guys are just huge fans like me you're going to buy one anyway today but if you're

not you should go out and check it out um there a lot of these are duplicates there's the Ultra versus the Edge again

you can see it's it's basically not half the size but it's like I don't know it's

like maybe 65% of the size of the Edge in terms I mean the Ultra in terms of thickness there's the camera module uh I

also think the camera module just looks way better than the Ultra and the other S25 series in general i don't know what

do you think Colin i really like the camera module on this after seeing it in person i think it just looks nicer yeah

I like I mean compared to I mean I don't think that looks bad but I like the I like the kind of ring around it yeah and

I don't think the camera bump is actually as crazy as people think um I don't think it's as crazy as people

think from the photos the camera bump really isn't that crazy it's It's pretty

pretty much the same like in terms of you know how much it it it sticks out as the other you know three the separate

camera rings that you have on the S25 series so I was actually really surprised with that i thought it looked

pretty good uh let's see let's go through the other hands-on I have some of these are just shots for the site obviously not all of them are going to

be as interesting here's the uh silver versus the black you guys can see I have

a shot here's the profile against the iPhone 16 Pro Max um which you can see

it's substantially thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro Max as well

um and here's a side profile and here's all three colors someone was asking me

earlier about the colors um I personally think the icy blue looks the best in person it is not the same blue as the

blue on the S25 Ultra so don't assume that it's the exact same blue color it's

not the same blue color it's a different blue um it's a little bit lighter and I think it looks a little bit nicer it

It's kind of closer maybe it's more white I guess it's definitely like a lighter blue for sure it's more of a

white looking kind of bluish color and uh I I think it looks really nice personally I don't know if if you decide

to get it which one which one would you go for probably the black one the black one

does make a lot of sense i think I kind of I'm kind of a I like the the black sides and then adding like a bright skin

kind of deal yeah yeah for sure yeah that makes makes sense for sure i've got I have the stream up my other monitor

what What kind of glass does it have it's the Gorilla Glass it's the Gorilla Gling Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 is the one

that we're we have on this device um the S25 Edge is also live through the all

smartphones pages so if you guys clicked on that one you can also find it there uh it also has the titanium frame as

well just like the S25 Ultra that's another thing they told us in the hands-on when they did the briefing and

another thing that I will say is that they told us in the briefing that a lot of their customers had been asking for a

lighter phone with a larger screen now I don't know if that's in the US or if it's in other regions but they did say

that this product was in response to kind of you know consumer feedback

that's what they claimed of course you know you never really know how much of that is necessarily true or not but

that's what they said they said that it's in response to their customers actually asking for something like this

and so you know that could certainly be true it's certainly possible that it is true uh that people have been asking for

this so I think there could be more of a demand for this than people actually think uh I'm looking at the tradein now

it looks like you can't trade in S25 devices which is obviously that's really no surprise there um you can only trade

in S24 the ZFold 6 is the newest phone that you can actually trade in another

thing that's really interesting is you cannot trade in as far as I see you can't trade in an S24 FE which is really

weird why can you not trade in an S24 is it on the bottom i know sometimes those are like in the middle of the list

oh it could be in the middle of the list or something they're talking about they're dispelling the rumors on here

right now on the live stream i'm trying to explain the the Galaxy

Club again in a different way i'm still not sure if it's a good deal or not though i don't think it is though um I

do have an extra 50 Samsung credit like I said you guys can get that extra 50 Samsung credit if you go through our

link um one thing it looks like they're not doing this time is they're not giving any discounts off the accessories

if you bundle stuff which is very annoying i don't know about that um yeah

that's what I see so far too Larry unfortunately keep in mind guys the link is pinned if you want to go and get the

mystery box through us it's there so you guys can go do that you can verify your order the verification form is already

available as well uh I can link the verification form too i don't think anyone has filled out the verification

form yet so let me share it a lot of people usually fill this out obviously after they get their order in it takes a

minute to go back and do that here's the verification form if people order through our link and you want to verify the mystery box it is set up so you can

go through and do that now I'm trying to order my device as well i'm going to get icy blue i thought about the black but

I'm going to do the blue of course I have two-factor verification so I have to do that silliness as well to get my

device let me go in and do that real quick and you have to type in a code

with Samsung which is annoying all right let me do that oh I

have a bunch of Samsung reward points I can use that's pretty awesome i should be able to use all these Samsung reward

points which is nice let's see let's see how many

Samsung reward points I have let me know if other people are getting in i'm curious if other people are getting in i

have $170 in Samsung reward points that's a certified win right there we'll take it all them phones you bought yeah

that's right i mean it's from all the other phones I bought exactly it's not like I got these for free or anything

these are points that I got from the phones I I bought in January so and also

all the phones that I buy during for the giveaway winners and all that other stuff so

$170 in reward points is pretty good though it looks like it's about

$519 for me after my discount my education discount too because I still

have that on there from the fact that I was a professor you know so that's nice

get that little discount going i always like that for sure all right let's go ahead and place

that get my order in you do get the free storage upgrade which is awesome you know you got that 512 gig for the price

of 256 which I think is awesome um I am I will say people wanted to hear about

battery life so I played with this during the hands-on and here's some more pictures of the black if you guys can

see that um I played with it for a while during the hands-on while I was getting all my photos and everything you can see

there the S25 Ultra 16 iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Edge the battery did drop like

4% while I did like 10 minutes of just doing regular stuff that doesn't really make me super confident uh the Samsung

rep also told us that it basically gets the same battery life as the base model

uh S25 um which is not great the base S25 is the small one uh yes log mode is

on there i actually took a picture of that as well in here i don't know if you guys saw it's right here log is here in

the Galaxy S25 Edge now one other thing that I know a lot of people ask me about I'm trying to multitask here answer

questions and do all the other things as well get the mystery boxes set um we have to make money otherwise we can't do

this that's just a fact of life um and also we don't run ads on the website right so give me give us a little bit of

credit we we don't run these crazy pop-up ads so we got to do something but uh there's no anti-glare coating on the

display and that's a big that's a big downside for me um I wonder if the ceramic has anything to do with that

yeah I was disappointed to hear about that um that's the one thing that like I

could feel I I would say like if there's one thing that upsets me the most it would have to be that there is no

anti-glare coating because I understand the use case you know from the perspective of if you're going to buy

this and you want thin and light you don't care about the S Pen you don't care about the Zoom camera but the

anti-glare coating is such a great feature on the Ultra and I use it all the time so I would really like to see

the anti-glare coating there but it is not available on the edge you know one

thing that annoys me what's that they act like every time they come out with a

phone the AI stuff is new but every phone I mean it's like it's not new to that phone like why yeah there are no

new AI features although they did say that the AI capabilities

um that are available on the Snapdragon processor gives them a way to manage the battery life a little better on this

phone but still only having the same battery life as you know the base S25

which is what they told us it's around the same uh I would say that's not great

um it's not exactly not exactly ideal i I would like to see a little bit better

battery life than the base S25 but I mean that's just kind of makes kind of

makes a lot of a lot of sense now another question that I asked them because I know a lot of people were asking about this earlier in the stream

and I couldn't talk about it is that this is basically yeah they have

anti-glare screen protectors but it's not really exactly the same as having it built into the display also I don't

really like anti I don't really like screen protectors so if you're someone who doesn't want a screen protector and it's not built in then you don't really

want to use that uh you didn't miss well you missed the the beginning of the launch and I'm showing some of my hands-on photos that I took in New York

the price is $1099 as you guys saw samsung explained to us that I asked them if this was going to be like a

regular launch that they were going to do off cycle and they said no that they probably plan to incorporate it into the

larger S portfolio um I asked them if this could replace the Plus uh and they

would not commit to that but they said that it definitely fits between the Plus

and the Ultra and that eventually some more consolidation could make sense but

they didn't say for sure that they would replace it so I know a lot of people were interested in that so I did ask

that question just so uh people could get some kind of interest you know in that get some things about that uh I

will have I will have a video tomorrow with my hands on as well so you guys can

see some of my hands-on thoughts um we have a lot of articles of Sammy Guru let

me actually link to some of the better these guys are posting everything right now my hands-on article with all my

thoughts are right here if you guys want to check this out it's got a little more formal writing

here if you guys want to see that you can check out some more of the shots and more of my detailed thoughts we weren't

allowed to upload any camera samples so I wasn't able to really give any camera

impressions i did take some photos but I couldn't upload them so I couldn't really analyze the quality of the photos

so I don't really want to comment on that just yet but keep in mind it's the same 200 megapixel sensor that's in the

S25 Ultra and that's also in the Galaxy ZFold Special Edition that I have and it

takes pretty good photos so uh I'm not too worried about the main camera photo

quality but obviously the loss of an ultrawide camera might be a little bit

of a that could be a little bit of an annoyance for some people who want that ultrawide performance so that that's

potentially a concern I would say that's that's my thought on Are they done with the

Wow what's that they're done with the stream already yeah it was only going to be like a 10-minute deal um and also I

was going to comment on this uh Samsung a lot of people were asking why didn't they put the telephoto because I I asked

this as well i was thinking about it the reason that they didn't put the telephoto is just because it's too big

of a sensor to fit in that small body so a lot of people in my session for the

hands-on were asking about why no telephoto and it's just not possible from an engineering perspective that's

what Samsung told us and that's the reason why they they weren't able to do it so uh could they do it in future

years i mean maybe but it is an engineering challenge to fit the telephoto in there i do like this camera

module though a lot more like I said and I would really like to see them expand this camera housing to other Galaxy S

devices in the future i don't know exactly how this would look on an Ultra because you've got obviously you got

five cameras and the camera rings but I don't like the camera module on the Galaxy S25 proper series so it would

really be nice to see this housing come to the S26 that's my personal opinion

here's another nice photo of all the colors together you can see the blue is definitely a different shade than it was

on the uh Ultra so if you're leaning towards the blue Oh I also took a comparison of the bezels you guys can

see here the S25 Ultra versus the S25 Edge the bezels around the device

they're about the same honestly in this photo my Ultra is on the right and the Edge is on the left um and you can see

they're about the same in terms of the bezels around the front so you still get those thin bezels uh you still get the

titanium frame you get the Gorilla Ceramic too it felt really really solid

in hand i don't feel like there's a durability issue you know I was trying to like you know not bend it obviously

because this was a hands-on Samsung invited me to i'm not going to try to bend the phone but I was you know I I

was you know using it and just trying to you know see if that felt like there was any wobble or creek in there i didn't feel anything like that it's It feels

super solid so from that perspective I don't think you have to worry about there being any durability issues with

the Edge i don't think there'll be any durability issues with this device so that shouldn't be a concern that anyone

has i don't know what other questions people have if you're thinking about ordering drop some questions i'll try to

answer them i was able to spend an hour and a half with it so I have a decent amount of thoughts about it um have

people people been able to get through no one has submitted the verification form yet so maybe no one is buying this

phone maybe not a single person maybe not a single person is planning to buy this phone and I just misjudged the

interest in but given there was 300 people signed up i feel like someone will buy it probably right hopefully

someone will purchase two or three you would think so you would think at least a couple people will buy this phone so

some people saying their site won't load or something won't load i don't know if they're talking about Samsung or your

verification what won't load wait what hold on let me scroll down they just said it won't load i

don't know what they were what won't load Larry i don't know what what you're

saying will load uh I mean it really depends these are for two different types of people um what are you trying

to submit what won't load right now the verification page should load i mean I've been able to get through

everything's working on my end um I dropped the link directly to the page as well but the verification page is here

you guys can go and find the Google link there as well go and click it

oh it wasn't Larry i'm sorry Larry it's Miss Tech Boss who said that there's the verification page um the Ultra is not

really targeted at the same people as the Edge so I mean obviously I'm buying one but that's because I do this for a

living if you buy one maybe it's because you're an enthusiast or you just don't need the S Pen you don't need all those

cameras the only thing I would say that would make me pause I'm going to put my SIM in the edge and use it as my main

phone for a while i don't do that with every new phone I get but I'm going to switch from the Ultra to the Edge when I

get it i'm gonna miss the anti-glare display though the anti-glare display is so obvious because I have so many phones

sitting on my t my my desk in front of me and like the difference between the Ultra and the iPhone 16 Pro Max like

just look at the reflections look at the reflections on the iPhone 16 Pro Max versus the Ultra like it's it's insane

so I don't know how I'm going to feel about not having the anti-glare display

well Bob I would say if you see no reason for it it's probably not for you samsung heard this feedback from a lot

of probably younger people who are on the go who don't mind having a battery

pack or charging up who just want a thin light profile potentially a lot of women might like this too because they don't

really make big pockets on women's jeans you know a slim phone slips nicely into

the pockets this phone is not going to be for everybody for sure but Samsung obviously believes there's a market for

it because otherwise uh they wouldn't have brought it they wouldn't have brought it to market i don't think they

would have brought this to market just to say they have something equivalent to the iPhone 17 Air you know i just don't

see I don't see why they they wouldn't do that because it wouldn't make any sense if they didn't think people would actually buy it so we'll find out oh

here's a one I took of the S Pen versus the Edge look how close this is look at

this it's pretty close to being the thickness of the spen it's like maybe one and a half spins you can really see

how thin it is right here by looking at it next to the S Pen these are some nice shots I took right here with the SPM i

took quite a few of these because I thought it would make a dramatic comparison for people to see how how

nice it is in terms of the thinness what would Miss Tech Boss what would it load if the verification or the form don't

load let me know because that would not be good i want people to be able to get through and fill out the form and stuff so

hopefully we'll at least sell one of these because I ordered 300 cases if I have three If I have 200 300 cases left

over it make me a little angry but it's

okay i feel like it's an upgrade to the iPhone 17 what do you

mean i mean the iPhone 17 for me would not be an upgrade for anything because I don't like iPhones and I don't use them

for anything so but I'm going to try to share a few of our posts over on uh

Twitter or on X on Facebook and all of our stuff we did at Sammy Guru so people can see those and then if you guys have

questions drop them i'll try to answer them i still don't understand i'm I'm just looking at the Galaxy Club thing on

the page and I still don't understand the the guaranteed upgrade credit being

it says 50% of the It really doesn't make any sense you know what I mean because they always give you like sense at all i mean they only give you like%

70ish% something like that i mean if you trade in last year's phone it's like $900 usually

it's insane this industry is absolutely insane right now that's what I would say

because this is an insane industry

i'm trying to get out a few of these posts on our socials just so people can see that we actually do have things

about the Edge and hopefully people are like "Maybe I should buy an Edge and get a mystery box why not?"

Um yeah it was really cool going to the event this is the first time I ever got invited to something with Samsung too

just from a personal perspective i've worked really hard covering Samsung for a long time and to finally get the

opportunity to be there and get some hands-on time even though it wasn't a big unpacked event obviously

um but it was still really fun to get invited and get to go to New York and

obviously have you know Oh Miss Tech Boss don't go through the Verizon site you can Oh are you doing You can go

through Samsung to do it go through our link and Verizon is on there you can order through Verizon using Samsung

maybe you're talking about that maybe you're trying to go through Samsung and trying to get the portal to load i don't

know but you can go through the Samsung page that way you can still get the mystery box you can always go through

the carrier pages on our site and and do things that way it's it's easy to go

through there and do that lots of people clicked on the links from my text message but like no one has submitted

the form yet like 900 pe 9 7 750 people have clicked the link so far which is

insane absolutely insane right there but no one is really oh let me see something really quick if we go to the

verification page if we go to the page on Sammy Guru can you actually this will

take you to the page I guess yeah it does okay it takes you to the page just making sure everything's working there

um questions anyone have questions I mean I'm going to stream as long People have questions I guess if not if there's

no interest then we'll go back and we'll get ready for the foldable launch which is fine this was a oneoff launch and I

thought it might do okay but if no one has interest we'll we'll get ready for the launch in July which you know people

always have interest in that um again Adam it's not really targeted at people who want the Ultra though that's the

thing samsung doesn't see much overlap between the ultra consumer and the edge

consumer that's that's the fact of the matter right people are just not they're not targeting that demographic because

those people want the S Pen those people want those extra cameras um those people don't mind having a thicker phone that's

heavier they they don't they're not targeting that kind of demographic i understand what you're saying but

obviously if they released it they had some research suggesting someone was interested several thousands of people

were interested and they they don't see any overlap between the Ultra and the Edge consumer that that's what they said

when we talked to them uh we had a chance to talk to to them and you know

get their thoughts on how they see the product and that's how they see it they don't really see any overlap between the ultra and the plus consumer and the edge

consumer so I wish I had taken my plus to New York but I forgot it that was the

one thing I forgot is I did want to get like pictures of the Plus but I didn't get any pictures of the Plus because I

didn't bring it with me which is unfortunate but um I did get plenty of comparisons to

the Ultra but not anything for the Plus let me check in with the guys on Slack

here i need to add the product page to the verification

page all right let me do that now colin let me know if people have

questions if people have a question just read it to while I'm doing that can you do that okay i gotta go to the website

and like put this new link on the page real quick somebody said they didn't see the VIP advantage offer when I tried the

shopping cart the VIP advantage offer what is that what is that is that the Is that Is that

the one you mean are you mean you're talking about if you have a VIP membership with Samsung i'm not sure which which one i've never used that so

I don't know i mean with our link you should get the the $50 bonus credit even if you didn't

reserve you should get the uh free upgrade to at 512 and you should get

obviously you qualify for our mystery box if you use our link order so you get the case the screen protector all that

other good stuff um hey I'll be honest with you guys if you order an Edge and

you and you uh and and I only get like a hundred or if I get less than 100 I'm

probably gonna give everybody two packs of screen protectors because I mean I'm not just going to have these sitting around why i mean I'm not going to do

anything with them so you know Oh yeah yeah yeah i I know what you're talking about Bob i know what you're talking

about sometimes at launch they don't have all the offers ready samsung is notorious for that um so if you want a

particular thing just make sure you maybe wait a few minutes these are not going to sell out they're they're not

supply constrained on these either i asked them if they had like a low supply at launch and they said no samsung

doesn't lie about that kind of stuff either um you know so you know they're not like

Apple where they're like "We only got like five of them you got to order now." you know if you don't order now it's not

going to ship until Christmas and the phones go live like in September

it's like it's like are you serious like I mean we know are you gonna watch the

Android event tomorrow what is that yeah I don't know what Android event is tomorrow are you talking about the Sony

the Sony event is that what they're talking about the

Sony event i didn't I think that's actually tonight my time

i have no idea what time it was it is because I went to New York and back in like 36 hours so I like broken and I'm

like all messed up like I have no idea what time it is i don't know what day it is i'm just like trying to get get done

with the launch so you know we have everything good to go there and then I can get back to like my daily grind of

getting ready for 1 UI 8 and getting ready for the July launch which is obviously much bigger because people

there's a lot of dedicated foldable fans so I didn't expect this launch to be as big as the July launch for sure but I

did update the product link on the verification page so that's good to go if you guys check it out

what uh what kind of car you driving now android Show oh you mean the uh Oh you

mean Android Show the podcast i listen to it every week yeah yeah i always listen to Android Show is that what

you're talking about the podcast reed it 512 silver there you go

oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i'll be checking out Google IO we'll be covering all the Google IO stuff of course so all

week we'll be doing Google IO stuff this week awesome people are finally getting their orders in that's good news i'm

glad people were able to order their phones all right i really do like the uh

seamless updates seamless updates are fantastic i'm going to get 1 UI8 on my international S25

Ultra hopefully tonight i haven't had time because I've been so busy but um I

do have that early build of 1 UI 8 i just need to change my region CSC in order for me to flash it and once I do

that I'm going to have 1 UI8 and I'm going to make some videos before the beta comes out um everybody else has

been getting out on the fun unfortunately with the Edge launch and then I got into a car accident i haven't

had a lot of time so I haven't flashed it yet but I will so um the Edge launch

kind of took some precedent since we've got to do the mystery box stuff always crack some reason for some reason you

know people don't want to work for free that's the thing it's like I tried to get the writers to work for free but

they're like "No." Like I'm like "You guys don't get it it's like we could you could work for free and then we don't

have to you know I don't have to pay you that seems like it works for both of us like then we could put out more content

and like we don't have to do promotional stuff and then people will be happy and the writers are like "No I can't work

for free." And I was like "You guys don't get it." But like I thought you got it and they didn't get it so they

didn't get it unfortunate yeah i should have skipped the car accident there's nothing I could do about that though i got rear ended and bumped into the

person in front of me it's not exactly Wasn't really my plan last Monday to get into a car accident but she total though

well that is nice but not everybody will write for free hey if if people want to freelance for free I'm happy to give you

a chance but hey the guys I have are very long tenure journalists i'm just joking and they know that i have no

problem paying them good money to write they've been doing this for a long time so meet Obnob all the guys who write for

us you know they they do amazing job i would never want them to work for free i'm just saying if people if you got to

pay people good money you got to make money somewhere every other blog makes money by running ads and that's not what

we do so um any other questions i don't know

other questions um oh the battery spec 3900 milliamp hours but like I said earlier

Samsung told us that it gets battery life quote equal or on par to the Galaxy S25 base model which does not inspire a

lot of confidence from me so I obviously had an hour and a half with it in a room

where I couldn't really do anything so it's not like I could really do a lot of stuff but

um but that was that was um but that was sorry I don't know what

I'm saying someone's trying to message me here but that was not a time I could really judge the battery

life let me answer this really quick hold on sorry no one's even here right now

i think I I guess if you're used to the the battery like of an S25 but you I

mean usually you get a bigger phone you're used to the battery being better but I guess if you're kind of willing to compromise for a small phone battery

life on a bigger phone then Alex says "I have plenty of super

fast chargers no issue there." Oh what's the charging speed on it

jeff is deep in thought oh sorry it's I think it's the same as the Let me double

check the spec sheet i didn't ask that at the launch but let me actually double 25 i feel like it's probably I think

it's going to be 25 yeah hold on a second though

i got to pull up the spec sheet because I don't even have it someone asked me

All

right yeah i mean I'm going to keep the Ultra but I'm going to try the Edge as my main phone for a little while yeah it's 25

watts yeah 25 watts that's what I just And then and then uh wireless charging

15 watts yeah so that's basically what you expect from the base uh the non-Utra

models of the S25 series which makes a lot of sense um that's something I should have asked during the hands-on i

didn't even get a chance to look at the spec sheet because I just assumed that it would be on par with the non Ultra

Sline which it is yeah so um the cases are pretty thin let me actually show you guys the case hold on a second i'll get

the case that I have for the mystery box hold on a second

higher battery temp uh I haven't but I have I have the 1 UI7 on my um S25 Ultra

i just turned it on updated it though so it blew up with notifications that kind of warmed it up dang i don't know what I did with the

box i made a video on it and I don't know what I did with it

i think if you have an ultra though I think I mean you're almost downgrading losing

the S Pen losing battery life a

camera this case is pretty thin honestly this is the one of the cases that's going in the mystery box it's got a nice

little protective it's got some different colors it's got T2 on it as well wireless magnetic thing on the back

tpu hard TPU could is the Edge official G2

ready or compatible or whatever that's another question I need to look at the spec sheet for this is one of the problems with uh this

is one of the big problems with um it does not have the G2 but it's G2 ready it's on the spec sheet as well so it

does it does work with the case yeah yeah i figured because that's why I

got this case i remember seeing that uh I don't have the Dbrand one yet because you know what happened Larry is they

haven't shipped those yet i haven't seen a shipping email for that i've not seen the Dbrand Edge case

yet but this one's very thin so if you put this case on the edge it's not going to be that bad like look at this

compared to the Ultra this is my Ultra case look at the Ultra case versus the Edge

case like it's like twice as thick jeez so you can see like this just a

significant even with a case like it's pretty thin so even you could rock a

case on this and it's still going to be like you're going to get the benefits of buying the edge I think so it's

obviously not going to be as nice as if you just rock it without a case obviously that would be the best if you

could just rock it without a case but you you do get some benefits it's still a lot thinner for sure

have you had any temp issues with on UI7 uh Squiggly says they put a few temp

alarms when fast charging on an S24 Ultra any temp issues i have and I've

heard some people have said this on older phones what is it s20 which one 24 Ultra

uh I haven't had anything on the S24 Ultra s23 Ultra i maybe have had a few

issues on there because I've been using that a little bit more to try to test when i7 because I didn't use it for a while obviously because I have so many

phones uh it has been a little hot on the S23 Ultra and also OneU i7 is not quite as smooth on the S23 Ultra battery

life's not quite as good but my S24 Ultra and S25 Ultra pretty reasonable i think

I think the 1 UI beta 7 or 1 UI beta 7 1 UI 8 beta is going to start before September we're expecting it what

sometime over the summer midsummer or somebody said 1 UI 8 beta starts in

September but weren't we kind of expecting that in like July or August

uh probably July 9th is going to be the launch i mean I don't know so I'm not telling you something that's like under

embargo or secret but the Korean media has said that it's going to launch in early July and Samsung usually does it

on a Wednesday and they're probably not going to do it the Wednesday before July 4th weekend because they're supposedly

going to host it in New York again so that would mean probably if it's not going to be the 2nd it'll probably be

the 9th because the 9th is still early July right

i consider summer between June and August after that is not

summer so if I say midsummer it's like I said like when I refer to like summer like midsummer it's like July cuz like I

don't know for some reason I just consider summer from June to August i guess maybe it's because I haven't been

out of school that long and that was summer break so

Yeah I'm glad I don't teach anymore so I don't really care when people But Tori does speaking of Tori where is that guy

that guy's always slacking these days i told that guy like Tori what are you doing Tori like we're gonna have to just

like I'm just kidding tori is uh finishing up his teaching uh he'll be done like in a week or week and a half

or so he's going to be in the office like every day hey Tori is going to be like joining the Sammy Guru team pretty

much full-time over the summer since he's not teaching uh a summer class at

the high school he usually teaches one but he's not so Tori will be joining us full-time over the summer doing various

things we got a lot of fun stuff planned um I know people think I'm lying about Sammy Guru Rewards going live but uh it

is going live and uh we have an entire redesign for the homepage too coming soon that's already done it's just got

to get set live so

not doing beta 8 i want to keep my good luck features this time maybe by then uh good luck will be in the play store and

it might be a little bit more uh open good luck is in the play store it's already there oh it is late they did it

like um right after 1 UI7 like started rolling out to most phones like I think

a month ago or so it went liveally and now it's like completely global for the

most part when UI beta starts in September no it's gonna start later this month that was

that was that was the comment I was referring to earlier yeah yeah when I beta will start later this month or

early June somebody said rewards is going to be an easier way for you guys to claim the mystery boxes and a lot of

other stuff you'll get for free too daily wallpapers a bunch of other cool stuff so did you say later this month

for what the beta yes the rumor is that it starts late May oh I thought we said

July terrun Vatz who is very reliable he tweeted earlier last week that the beta

has been accelerated to late May which was surprising to me but with all

the leaked builds that have come out it's not that surprising so um we

already have all these leaked builds sammy Grew Rewards is going to be awesome you guys will have an easier way to claim mystery boxes you'll

automatically be able to get rewards for any Samsung product you buy the whole year not just phones you'll be able to

get wallpapers every day a bunch of free app codes and stuff i'm working with some app developers taking a long time

to implement but it also cost me quite a bit of money to have some developers do it right but it's life um I feel

confident we'll make our money back i have some other ideas and plans and surprises for Sammy Guru hey we've only

been doing this whole time for a year i've been gone from the university for a year i've been doing this for a year so

I'm very happy with where we are we could always be doing better but I can't complain with the progress that we've

made thus far it's been pretty good so I mean one person submitted the

verification form jeff has 299 cases left they need a home

i have 299 cases that have a home if we get less than 150 people I'm giving everybody two cases too so you know I

only used it for 90 minutes ms Tech Boss but in the 10 minutes I did like a dry run through of like regular stuff um I

couldn't install my regular apps on there but I used like a bunch of stuff that I would use went through the settings changed some things it lost 4%

in 10 minutes which is kind of a lot in my opinion uh I'm not going to say that this is a you know obviously this is not

a a production device that I use on a daily basis with my own apps but I'm a

little worried that it's not going to be everyone's favorite you know favorite battery life experience but yeah it's

going to be a super thin phone that everybody's going to have a thick battery case on it's going to defeat the purpose well I would say if you have an

S24 Ultra you're not really in the market that they are trying to hit probably um again they don't see the

ultra users as like the demographic they're trying to target they really want to target people who you know are

are more interested maybe in the plus or the base model but they want a bigger screen um and they want something that's

thin so they want a big screen but they want something that's thin and light um think about it this way everyone's

thinking about like if I wanted the I'm going to stick with my Ultra because it doesn't offer anything else think of it

this way if you already have a base Galaxy S24 or S25 and you were like "Oh

I'd really like to have a bigger screen but I don't want to have a much heavier

phone or a phone that's a lot bulkier." Well then the Edge makes a lot of sense because you get a bigger screen if you

go from the base model to the Edge and you don't have to really right increase

this you know the weight and necessarily the profile in your your pocket um

obviously the battery life is about on par with the base model so the battery life probably doesn't concern you and

the camera experience really isn't that much of a downgrade if you're going from the base model so I think this is really

people who are on the base model or the plus um you'll probably get two cases in

metech mod i'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure you'll get two

cases i'm guessing we're going to have pro considering that very few people have submitted so far probably 50 or so

this time i was hoping for 100 but maybe 50 edge boxes that's okay because I mean luckily I have partnerships with case

manufacturers i don't pay a ton for the cases but I was hoping we would have at least 100 but it might be around 50

after the end of the month um I mean you don't have to buy it right i mean I don't know why people are upset about

the product if you don't like it you don't have to buy it i um you could stick with the Ultra i I

think Samsung is trying to appeal to other demographics and that's fine there's nothing wrong with it i'm buying it because you know I uh am obviously

someone who I'm obviously someone who does this for a living so that that makes sense but if you're not uh someone

who does Samsung tech coverage for a living maybe you don't particularly need this device or want this device which is

fine so um yeah I I had a lot of fun going to New York i think the device is

is interesting for the right person but it's not for everybody is what I would

say so um

anyway any other questions otherwise it's like 18 people left i can go

questions comments concerns 25 cases well they would all be duplicates because I don't have 25 distinct case

not all duplicates but the colors would be it'd be like three you'd have like eight of the same case over and over

again because I only have like three distinct colors I think so the I didn't

invest a ton in these because obviously I know that this was not going to be the

massive launch that we have in the other parts of the year so it wouldn't have

made sense to buy every case in the world so dang it i wanted to do I don't know i

guess we'll end it because it doesn't seem like there's a million there's not that many people colin do you have

anything else you want to add i'll tie up any I'll probably might I want to

kind of see what the battery life is like before before I decide now that I'm now that I'm kind of you know I'll give

you some uh I'll give you some thoughts on that for sure

um so yeah it's it's it's an interesting device i think it'll be fun to play with

i don't think they should have called it the Edge though i don't think it's a good name i think they probably should have called it the um the Slim which was

their original S25 yeah S25 that's what they probably

should have done is they should have went with calling it the slim it would have been a better way better way to do

it i think S25 Ultra Light that would have been a good name for it

too honestly S25 Ultra Light would have been a good name for it too so I could definitely see that being a a quality

name for

it anybody else any other questions people have i don't know

thanks for streaming no problem yeah we had fun yeah we will definitely do another one in July for the bigger

unpacked event of course I really don't know what's going to happen yet because I'm probably going to be attending that one and then I've got to figure out if

I'm gonna might be live on location yeah I don't know how I'm going to do that though from

that's gonna be crazy we have to stream obviously because it it was very valuable last time and a lot of people

saw the mystery boxes so you can you can feed me and Tori inside information yeah sure yeah of course i could do that

we might do that do you know what time that Tori Tori will be available for that one because it's the summer so maybe you guys will stream and we'll

have to figure it out anyway you know what time that one usually is is it afternoon like this or is it No it'll

probably be in the morning i guess it's probably going to be like 10:00 a.m 10:30 a.m eastern might have to take the day off

i'll pay you some extra money to take the day off so that way you don't have to lose any money um I'm not sure we'll see so well

first of all the Saturday live stream became the Friday live stream because my son doesn't like Saturdays but we'll see about Friday we'll see if Tori is going

to be here um I've had a very crazy week so I don't know i don't even know what

time it is and I've got to deal with all the stuff fall out car accident i'm driving a Hyundai Santa Fe right now

which I'm not enjoying why not not really huh why not i have a Hyundai do

you Santa Fe no no no it's no longer oh I don't know man it's just it doesn't I

can't really I can't really uh you know the freeways here in Arizona you need to

be able to like get out in front of people and you can't really get out in front of people in a Hyundai Santa Fe like you can SQ8

I can't cut people off and do things I need to do in the Santa Fe like I can in my SQ8 that's the only thing otherwise I

mean the interior is nice nothing wrong with it it's got an auto you you can but you might get rear ended again i'll

probably get in another accident and then I'll I luckily I have accident forgiveness with Progressive but if I

get in another one then my rates are definitely going up and I don't want that do does it still affect you even if

even if you got rear ended that wasn't your fault well if you don't have accident forgiveness even if it's not your fault they still apply some kind of

rate increase but luckily it won't affect me that's stupid because doesn't it your insurance doesn't pay out

doesn't the other guy's insurance have to pay it they do but remember the lady in the front who's trying to get money

for medical if she gets anything that would affect me but it won't because I have the accident forgiveness that still

seems like it should be on the person that started the whole chain reaction deal well really there was some people

who dropped some stuff in the road and that's why she was breaking so you know wait so the the

person in front stopped and then it was like boom boom boom or Yeah they stopped to avoid some PVC piping that fell in

the road one guy was following too close and wrecked everybody yeah she was falling too close but she really

couldn't get out of the way because they dropped all this PVC piping and then I was right behind her but I stopped i

stopped i didn't hit her and once I stopped though the people behind me couldn't react in time because it was obviously raining here in Arizona people

can't drive in the rain because they have no idea how to drive in the rain and so then everyone crashed into me and

that's what happened i just I just know in Virginia that it doesn't matter why you rearend somebody if you if you rear end somebody for any reason you're

automatically at fault yeah but I mean obviously since they bumped me I was stopped i didn't really

rear end though no no no i'm talking about you i'm talking about the people behind yeah yeah i mean they can they

can prove with physics that I was stopped because the front of my car has almost no scratches and the back of my

car like is completely destroyed so obviously I was crashed into and then I tapped her her claim that she's injured

is absolute trash i mean I barely tapped The only reason she has any damage to her car is the Toyota Rav 4 has a wheel

on the back you know as it mounted and I tapped into the wheel and that shattered her back windshield when the the wheel

tapped into her windshield cuz I you know when I got bumped into her that I bumped into the tire and then that

shattered the windshield that's the only damage she has probably absorbed absorbed all that impact too you

probably Exactly and so she didn't really even get like if I'm not injured and I got hit much harder and then she's

can't be injured i have no injury at all i mean I was a little sore for a day but I'm not injured anyway she's like "Oh

God my neck my back." Yeah she's like she saw my car and she's like "I'm sure this guy's good insurance i think I'll

just get 20 $30,000 of free money why not?" Um yeah so there you go all right

anyway all right i'll see you guys make sure to check out the website if you're interested in the Edge and we'll try to

stream this week too as well we'll try to get that podcast back podcasting trying to get it podcasting bye guys

have a good night
