    We also want to talk about the Galaxy Note 9 and our initial reaction to renders of it, as well as all of the new phones that just dropped, like the Moto Z3 Play, Blackberry Key2, and ASUS ROG phone. Oh yeah, Android P Beta 2 showed up this week as well.

    But that's not all! We need to talk OnePlus 6 now that it has been announced, Tim's thoughts on the G7 ThinQ after spending a couple of weeks with it, what we are expecting from the HTC U12+ next week, and what to make of YouTube Music and YouTube Premium.
    It's going to be a lengthy show, so unfortunately, that means no trivia this week. Apologies for that. It will return with our next show, though!

Now that the merger and phone are official, you can imagine that we have some thoughts.
