What's going on, people of the internet. Welcome back to another episode of the Waveform Podcast.

0:08.8

We're your hosts. I'm Arquez. I'm Andrew. And I'm David. And today we're going to start it off

0:14.0

by unpacking Samsung's packed, unpacked event, 2022. Thank you for the pun, David. I didn't think I'd

0:21.4

get through that without breaking down, but I got through it. I'm impressed. It's the beginning of our

0:25.9

busy season two, though. So that's sort of how we think about these Samsung announcements. But we'll

0:29.8

talk through them. There's some good phones and a watch or two watches. And then we're going to

0:36.1

sort of revisit the beginning of our year, in which we made a bunch of predictions about how the

0:42.2

smartphone year might go and see how accurate we think we were. Maybe we're still on track. Maybe

0:46.8

some of it's been thrown off. I will just throw a spoiler in here. I already have a compact smartphone

0:52.0

of the year, uh, easy front runner. I guess probably already know what that is. But without any further

0:57.8

ado, let's just start with the event. Let's start with unpacked. Um, kind of we were saying the word

1:03.3

packs is what we're going to use because we did get a bunch of stuff. There were, uh, two phones,

1:07.6

two phones, two watches and a pair of headphones. Where should we start? Um, I guess we start on the

1:15.2

phone. It's unless people want to wait until the end. David, the best for last. I think the phones,

1:20.3

I mean, the phones are actually pretty simple. Yeah. Uh, so let's just do the phones. Okay. Two phones.

1:24.6

Flip four and fold four. My summary is flip four and fold four, which both start at the same

1:31.1

prices last year's model are incremental refinement type upgrades from the flip three and fold three.

1:39.1

Uh, I think the biggest improvement to the flip is going to be battery life. We have yet to test

1:45.6

these. So this is just my prediction. But it's getting a Snapdragon 8 plus Gen 1 and it's going from

1:49.0

a 3400 to a 3700 million power battery. So for a small phone, it's 300 either way. It's,

1:54.7

it's getting a bump to 3700. So it should be a nice usability improvement. I've used other phones

2:00.0

with snaffar going to a plus Gen ones and they've had pretty great efficiencies. So I'm looking forward
