Episode 139 - Is the end of Apple and Samsung supremacy in mobile market coming to an end?
Another slow-news-week is upon us. We blame Pokemon Go :)
Sergey shares his experience with migrating his Windows and Linux operating systems between SSDs on his desktop. It went surprisingly smooth without the need to re-install anything – technology has certainly come a long way.
We discuss the ongoing trend of Chinese manufacturers creating phones that are on-par with the flagship phones from Apple and Samsung – but at the half the price. Xiaomi, ZTE, and OnePlus are starting to substantially expanding to the US and European markets. We try to understand what that means for the current kings of the market in these regions, and what they can do to stay competitive.
