Behind The Bytes

We've been using the Samsung Galaxy S22+ and S22 Ultra. Well Abbas and Daanesh got to check them out, Vaibhav didn't. So Vaibhav finds out what the boys thought of the two smartphones. Tune in and let us know your thoughts. 

There are strong rumors that Apple will be holding an event early March 2022 and annoucing a new iPhone, a new iPad and some new Macs. Daanesh, Vaibhav and Abbas discuss what products to expect and what product would they really like to see.

Along with the new Galaxy S22 line up of phones, Samsung also announced the Galaxy Tab S8 tablet in Ultra, Plus and standard variants. Daanesh, Vaibhav and Abbas discuss the features of Samsung's new tablets and how they compare to the gold standard in tablets- the Apple iPad.

Samsung has announced its latest Galaxy S22 series which is made up of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the Galaxy S22 Plus and the Galaxy S22. We thought this would be the perfect time to put the band together and restart the podcast in 2022. Listen to Daanesh, Vaibhav and Abbas discuss Samsung's latest and greatest mobile phones.

Abbas, Daanesh and Mike are BACK after a year-long hiatus. Nothing much has changed, except everything has changed. They chat about fold-able smartphones, the future of Android and the messy video streaming wars.

Apple's got a slew of new phones out and an updated Watch, but does anyone really care? Plus Lenovo's got a new take on workstation laptops, and has an old problem returned to haunt Samsung?

The big FIVE-OH is a bittersweet episode as it marks over two years of podcasting but also Mike moving on to infinitely cooler climes. But fret not, Abbas brought cake and the lads dig in for one last go around of chat about the Galaxy Note 9, Pixel 3 and why Daanesh can't decide on what laptop to buy. We'll see you when we see you - thanks for listening!

Are Sony Mobile and Oppo about to pull out of the Middle East? What is the point of a Bluetooth S-Pen? Who is the Microsoft Surface Go for exactly? All these questions and more answered in this week's episode!

Apple steps up its mobile operating system game and the lads have differing feelings about the new Blackberry phone. Everyone agrees that Oppo's retractable camera is waaay better than Vivo's.

The lads have some stuff to say about Apple's latest software announcements and the new ASUS ROG phone. Plus, everyone gets real mad at Lenovo.

Just Abbas and Mike this week as Daanesh is galavanting around the globe. That doesn't stop the lads chatting about all the smartphones they've played around with recently. And, yes, we mean ALL of them. The list includes: Honor 10 Nokia 7 Plus Huawei Mate RS HTC U12+ Plus: Android P chat and future iPhone predictions.

The lads discuss the latest Facebook announcements from F8. Fitbit Versa impressions are overall strong. LG G7 ThingQ impressions are overall meh.

The answer is, indeed, yes. The lads chat about Huawei's latest superphone after having used it extensively for the last three weeks. There's also chat about the OnePlus 6, Nest buying Nokia Health and the Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium.

WWDC predictions chat descends into a long and rambling conversation about Apple's longterm content strategy. Everyone is very excited about the leaked colours for the upcoming Huawei P20 Pro. Fitbit are about to release a new smartwatch that may just save them. Abbas is unable to put his phone on silent. We're sorry about that. Bad Abbas.

Android P developer preview brings with it support for notches and the lads aren't very happy. The Huawei P20 leaks, however, looks daaamn fine - notch or no.

Abbas and Mike chat about the latest announcements from MWC in Barcelona direct from the conference. (Excuse the audio quality, the episode was recorded using a smartphone in a noisy convention hall)
