Johnny bought a Raspberry Pi 3+b and he thinks it's a great computer project to do for creating your own Chromebook. Leo says Raspberry Pi is great for those who like to tinker, and for $35, you get a complete computer. That's remarkable.
The Google Pixel 4 was launched while Leo was gone and it's been met with generally lackluster reviews. but Leo says that you can't please the technorati anymore. He found the Pixel 4 to be great, with a fast unlock, fantastic camera, and great screen.
Google announced the Pixel 4 this week. Leo says that of all the features, the camera is the one that everyone is looking at. Leo also said that Apple was waiting for what Google announced before releasing the upcoming iOS 13.2 update to improve image quality. Leo also says that computational photography has reached a point where your mobile phone's camera is as good as a real camera, so there's no real need to own a separate one now. The phone will also use machine learning to teach the camera what different parts of the image look like, so it'll adjust the image accordingly.
Stephanie has a Motorola Droid Max, and she wants to upgrade. Is Google Pixel a good option? Leo says it is, but don't do it now, because Google is going to be announcing the Pixel 4 in a few weeks. In fact, Google may have put the Pixel 3A on sale already.
New phones are hitting the market starting right now. First out the gate was Samsung with the Galaxy Note10. But it's over $1100! Next up is the Google Pixel 4, probably coming in October. The iPhone 11 is also rumored to arrive soon, and there's an Apple event scheduled for the next two weeks. Huawei will put out the Mate 30 on September 18th, if you can get it. It's the first major phone launch since the company was blacklisted. It will also be the first without Google apps and services. Just Android.
Apple is poised to announced the iPhone 11 with three lenses and multiple colors.
Google's next Pixel 4 is also planned in September with similar features.
Leo says that mobile phones have become like Cadillacs in the 50s. Instead of new innovations and designs, we're getting "fins."
