00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Samsung's big summer event is happening in Brooklyn this week,

2
00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:06.200
<v Speaker 1>where the tech giant is set to unveil its newest

3
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:10.519
<v Speaker 1>generation of foldable phones. Rich On Tech host Rich Jamiro

4
00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:12.679
<v Speaker 1>is on the ground for the big reveal, and he's

5
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.039
<v Speaker 1>joining us live with the latest from the launch.

6
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Good morning Rich, Hey, Good morning too, Heather. This event

7
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:20.719
<v Speaker 2>starts in just a couple of hours. Here. They're doing

8
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.000
<v Speaker 2>it in Brooklyn this year at a place called the

9
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Brooklyn Fish Transfer And yes, they are actual fish that

10
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:29.559
<v Speaker 2>are being transferred because I smell that.

11
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:33.159
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't know if that's a good thing or not,

12
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.479
<v Speaker 1>especially this early in the morning. So I was going

13
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:38.159
<v Speaker 1>to ask you, I was going to ask you what

14
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:40.799
<v Speaker 1>is the vibe there? But apparently the vibe is very fishy.

15
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.640
<v Speaker 2>It's actually a really cool location that they did this at.

16
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.320
<v Speaker 2>They you know, these tech companies usually change up the

17
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:50.719
<v Speaker 2>locations where they do these big events. Samsung has been

18
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 2>doing unpacked events for many years. That's when they show

19
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.200
<v Speaker 2>off their newest phones. They typically do two of these

20
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>big events a year, one for their standard phones like Ultra,

21
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 2>and then the second is for their unfoldable So today

22
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:07.280
<v Speaker 2>we're expecting to see a couple of new foldable devices,

23
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.319
<v Speaker 2>if you can believe it. Samsung's been making foldable phones

24
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:14.359
<v Speaker 2>now since twenty nineteen, and of course they get better

25
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.760
<v Speaker 2>every year, but they're still not super popular. But of

26
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.280
<v Speaker 2>course we know that Apple is expected to come out

27
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:23.159
<v Speaker 2>with a foldable phone either next year or perhaps the

28
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:23.680
<v Speaker 2>next year.

29
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so what sets this new lineup of foldable phones

30
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>apart from previous generations.

31
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, we don't know just yet what is in store

32
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:35.680
<v Speaker 2>with these new phones until they unveil them on stage.

33
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 2>But if you look at the tea leaves, you know,

34
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:41.280
<v Speaker 2>most of the time they are upgrading the cameras. They're

35
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.480
<v Speaker 2>making these thinner, they're making them lighter. Those are kind

36
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.599
<v Speaker 2>of the main areas of improvement for these foldable phones.

37
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:50.159
<v Speaker 2>So all the previous foldable phones I've tested in the past,

38
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:52.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, the cameras were just okay, and they were

39
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:54.680
<v Speaker 2>a little bit too big to use as a phone

40
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.200
<v Speaker 2>every day. And then when you open it up, you know,

41
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 2>the phone, some of the screens on the outside, we're

42
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>not as big that you wanted to use, you know,

43
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:05.879
<v Speaker 2>for the outside screen. So there's a lot of room

44
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:07.799
<v Speaker 2>for improvement here. Let's see if Samsung can do it.

45
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.919
<v Speaker 1>You know, my concern with any kind of foldable or

46
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.080
<v Speaker 1>flip phones I'm old, so I call we used to

47
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.199
<v Speaker 1>call them the flip type phones. Any My concern with

48
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:18.479
<v Speaker 1>those is that they will break in half because we

49
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>use them so much. I'm have it in my bag,

50
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>i have it in my pocket or my back pocket,

51
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>or I'm giving it to my kid. You know, my

52
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:27.639
<v Speaker 1>fear is that it's gonna like just snap in half.

53
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:29.919
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that's not realistic.

54
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think the durability aspect has gotten a lot

55
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>better in recent years. You know, these things used to

56
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.840
<v Speaker 2>not be waterproof when the first one came out. If

57
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:42.599
<v Speaker 2>you got a speck of dust in the hinge, the

58
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.639
<v Speaker 2>whole thing would go bad. So they've definitely gotten past

59
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:49.199
<v Speaker 2>all of that. I think now they're in this period

60
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.159
<v Speaker 2>of like just refining what they've done and continuing to

61
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>make it better where people say, Okay, this can actually

62
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.639
<v Speaker 2>replace the phone that I use on a daily basis,

63
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.280
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not scared to carry this thing around because,

64
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.439
<v Speaker 2>by the way, these phones are typically more expensive than

65
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.120
<v Speaker 2>your standard smartphones as well.

66
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, we will be looking forward to hearing more

67
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.800
<v Speaker 1>about their new foldable phones. But I want to shift

68
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.360
<v Speaker 1>gears for a second. Let's talk about Prime Day. How

69
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>can shoppers tell the difference between a true deal and

70
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.439
<v Speaker 1>just clever pricing. Are there any tools or apps that

71
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:19.479
<v Speaker 1>you recommend for us?

72
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:21.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, now we know Prime Day runs through the eleven,

73
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.319
<v Speaker 2>so you still have a lot of time. I've actually

74
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.719
<v Speaker 2>noticed the deals are really good this year, so I

75
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:28.680
<v Speaker 2>always say put a bunch of stuff in your car

76
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 2>or save for later. List that way you can see

77
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:34.479
<v Speaker 2>when the prices drop. And I'm seeing really good price drops,

78
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 2>So definitely check out the deals. You know, get the

79
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:39.400
<v Speaker 2>stuff that you need, not the stuff that you want

80
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:42.400
<v Speaker 2>per se. But here's the thing. There is a little

81
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.520
<v Speaker 2>trick this year that it's the first time I've seen

82
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.960
<v Speaker 2>this on Amazon, but there is a price history tool

83
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 2>that you can unlock and it's all through Amazon's AI assistance.

84
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.360
<v Speaker 2>So when you are looking at a price on either

85
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.120
<v Speaker 2>the website or the mobile phone, there's a little area

86
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.639
<v Speaker 2>that looks like you know that AI logo. Tap that

87
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:03.919
<v Speaker 2>AI logo and on the phone it's in the lower

88
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.159
<v Speaker 2>right hand corner. On the desktop, it says ask rufus

89
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 2>and then you tap ask something else, and then it

90
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.280
<v Speaker 2>brings up this thing that says show price history. So

91
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:17.040
<v Speaker 2>if you tap that immediately, Amazon's AI will give you

92
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 2>a little bar graph of the prices for the past

93
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:23.879
<v Speaker 2>thirty to ninety days, so you can actually tell if

94
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 2>a price drop is legitimate. So, for instance, I'm looking

95
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.000
<v Speaker 2>at this kindle. It's typically one hundred and ten dollars.

96
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.600
<v Speaker 2>It's on Prime Day for eighty five dollars. Is that

97
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 2>a good deal? Yeah, this is the lowest price that's

98
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.759
<v Speaker 2>been in ninety days. That is actually a good deal.

99
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:39.839
<v Speaker 1>Okay, really quickly, in our last few seconds here, Gmail

100
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 1>rolled out a new feature to help users unsubscribe. But

101
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:44.759
<v Speaker 1>please tell me more about this.

102
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is something that's rolling out widely, so you

103
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.839
<v Speaker 2>may not have it on your account just yet. But

104
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:52.000
<v Speaker 2>if you go to Gmail on the left hand side,

105
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.920
<v Speaker 2>there's now a new option that says manage subscriptions. And

106
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.879
<v Speaker 2>so look in your list of things where it says

107
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.439
<v Speaker 2>inbox and all that stuff go down and you'll see

108
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.160
<v Speaker 2>managed subscriptions. You tap that, it will show you a

109
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:07.000
<v Speaker 2>list of every single newsletter that sends you emails and

110
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 2>how many they send you, And in one click, you

111
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 2>can get rid of that email newsletter list. They will

112
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 2>take you off of that list. So it's a nice

113
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.000
<v Speaker 2>way of seeing all these things you get on a

114
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:20.040
<v Speaker 2>daily basis and going, Okay, let me unsubscribe from that

115
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 2>list because I really don't read that newsletter. So they're

116
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:26.120
<v Speaker 2>making it really easy to unsubscribe and just one click. Oh.

117
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 1>I think, out of everything, I'm going to use that

118
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.439
<v Speaker 1>the most, so I have a lot of newsletters to

119
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.959
<v Speaker 1>unsubscribe run. So thank you so much, rich, We appreciate it.
