| Samsung's Animoji competitor is hella weird, CBS goes for broke in sports streaming and Apple mulls over-the-ear AirPods. It's the Daily Crunch for February 26, 2018. 1. Samsung's new flagship is pretty similar to its last one Samsung's Galaxy S9 flagship smartphone looks a lot like its predecessors. Its bezels are a very tiny amount smaller, and there's a more powerful camera on board (with a second lens for the S9+) but otherwise this is clearly a building year between major redesigns. So what do you get with the newest device? Again, it's mostly camera improvements – I got a chance to take a look at all those up close and personal early, and there's some great stuff, along with some very weird. 
2. CBS launches 24 hour streaming sports network The switch from broadcast TV to streaming isn't going to happen with a bang, but with a slow gradual migration. This new channel barely registers, but it's a key step along the route. 3. Apple's next audio product might be over-ear headphones Apple already makes AirPods-style over-ear headphones, you may be saying. But these would be different – like premium, high-quality audio different. Or something. 4. BMW wants your smartphone to be your key Tesla already does this with the Model 3, but like you can count on two hands how many people actually own the Model 3 (who aren't employees or investors). BMW wants to make its electric cars similarly smartphone operated. 5. Sony's new Xperia flagship can capture 4K videos in HDR Yes, the new Sony phone can record HDR video, which is great for playing it back on Sony's lineup of impressive HDR-enabled TVs. Now that's product line synergy. 6. Black Panther had a moment in Oakland and TC was there This is the greatest movie. Ever. 7. Nokia's Matrix phone is back Let's rise up and destroy our smartphones and return to a simpler time... when some of us seriously suspected we were living as meat batteries in a computer simulation run by ruling robots. |
