Topics
David Pierce: 我发现USB-C接口的统一使用非常方便,它简化了我的旅行电子设备携带方式。今年智能手机行业将关注AI功能和中国科技公司的数据安全问题。三星S25系列手机虽然不算最令人兴奋,但其发布预示着行业发展方向。 Allison Johnson: 三星S25 Ultra手机是一款优秀的手机,但创新不足,缺乏独特卖点。智能手机已发展到成熟阶段,创新空间有限。三星应该在手机续航或耐用性方面进行创新。Gemini人工智能助手在特定任务上表现出色,但在复杂任务上仍存在不足。三星S25 Ultra取消10倍光学变焦镜头,增加5000万像素超广角镜头,这是一个有争议的改进。2025年智能手机行业可能不会出现革命性创新,AI技术仍需进一步发展。今年智能手机行业将更加关注软件更新和AI功能的迭代升级,而非硬件方面的创新。折叠屏和翻盖屏手机可能在今年迎来市场突破,但仍面临耐用性等挑战。Nothing公司有潜力在今年推出令人意外的手机产品。 Cooper Quintin: 互联网数据隐私问题和恶意软件问题是目前值得关注的两个重要议题。对TikTok的抵制以及人们转向Red Note的现象,反映了人们对数据隐私和国家安全的复杂态度。人们对数据隐私的漠视态度,部分源于对现有科技公司数据收集行为的失望。将数据提供给中国政府与提供给美国科技公司,其风险程度存在差异,但都需要谨慎对待。将数据提供给中国政府和美国科技公司,都是不好的选择,但其危害程度和方式有所不同。我们需要联邦隐私法来保护个人数据,这对于应对来自中国政府和美国科技公司的风险都至关重要。选择在手机上安装哪些应用程序,是保护个人数据安全的重要措施。个人应该根据自身情况进行风险评估,并采取相应的措施保护数据安全。人们对中国政府的数据隐私和安全担忧,与其对美国科技公司的担忧相比,存在差异,这与政府监管方式、文化背景和经济利益等因素有关。即使在缺乏完善的法律法规的情况下,个人仍可以通过多种方式保护自身的数据隐私。为了更好地保护个人数据隐私,呼吁制定联邦隐私法至关重要。 Jen Toohey: 亚马逊Echo Show系列设备是Meta Portal的理想替代品,其Alexa通话功能完善,并且兼容性好。在没有固定电话的情况下,Echo Show设备可以作为家庭成员之间进行视频通话的有效工具,尤其是在有儿童的家庭中。廉价的安卓平板电脑可以作为Meta Portal的替代方案,但其使用体验可能不如专用设备。亚马逊Echo Show 8或Echo Show 10是Meta Portal的理想替代品,前者价格更实惠,后者功能更强大。 Rob: Meta Portal设备逐渐停止工作,希望寻找替代的视频通话设备,方便与家人视频通话。

Today on the show, it’s all about the future of phones… and your data. The Verge’s Allison Johnson joins the show to talk about the new Samsung Galaxy S25, what’s new in this high-end phone, and what it means for all the other smartphones coming this year. After that, Cooper Quintin, a senior staff technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, talks us through how to think about the privacy implications of RedNote, TikTok, DeepSeek, and all the other tech that puts us in contact with China. Finally, we enlist The Verge’s Jennifer Pattison Tuohy to help us answer a question from the Vergecast Hotline all about the Meta Portal. Remember the Meta Portal??
