Live stream link here which should kick in any second now (it's just after 2AM Pacific time on February 26th):
Most of the info is already available I suppose but I honestly haven't been all that interested, will comment after the event if there's anything positive to say, at least from my perspective. Would guess after it's all done they'll offer it as a recording of the event at the same link, if not then I'll update that as well if needed.
Just looping promos till it begins, the countdown timer clearly showed it was supposed to start at 2AM Pacific time but apparently someone forgot that because of daylight savings time it actually means 3AM Pacific = 12 noon in Barcelona, Spain where the event is broadcasting from, DOH!!!
One word sticks in my head as I watch these events: cringeworthy.
Oh well, not one compelling aspect for me personally, and whenever they show actors listening to music in the promos and tap an onscreen button that suddenly makes the music playback "better" to me only says it sucked to begin with and they had to redo it on some level to make it passable - just having a "quad DAC" doesn't actually improve things but that's just the marketing BS at work. The source material determines the quality and I for one know that 16-bit 44.1/48 kHz is more than enough for our limited human hearing to begin with. Also, it appears the quad DAC won't even be available in the US and European models and 32GB of internal storage as well with 64GB models available in Asian territories only, I mean really, to hell with that.
I still say the G4 was and still is my perfect smartphone aside from the potential boot loop issue rendering one dead, sadly. All the time, money, and research into this thing and it doesn't look all that different from a Galaxy S7, ugh. We're just getting to a point where all smartphones can't help but be identical I suppose but there's a point where you can't actually make them visually different anymore, bezels be damned.
