We are back for our first podcast of the year - and as it turns out there is a lot to talk about.

In a few days, there is Samsung Unpacked so we have a good chat about that event and what we can expect. Galaxy AI is going to be the hot topic and we also talk cameras, bezels, displays & notches.

The Pixel 8 Pro is a phone we’ve both used and loved so we chat about the latest features that Google have made available for it. ND filters, shooting ProRes, external SSD and recording in 8K - we cover it all.

And of course - Vision Pro…our take on this ground breaking bit of tech.

Then as we get into talking YouTube we talk about the January blues and the risks of changing laanes and direction as a creator.

Don’t forget, if you enjoy our weekly podcast to subscribe, like, share - and if you listen on Apple Podcasts - to leave us a rating (hopefully a 5-star one!) as well! 🙏🏻
