When Three Cameras Just Won't Do Oct 13, 2018

Show notes

We give a eulogy to Google Plus, Google's fallen social network. 66% of our podcast will miss it quite a bit.

The Razer Phone 2 is out now and it is doing a lot of things right.

Samsung introduced us to the world's first phone with four cameras on the back in the Samsung Galaxy A9.

Also, Samsung might be leaving the headphone jack out of its flagships late next year. Are the headphone jack's days (even more) numbered?
