This week we got our first look (unofficially) at the HTC Nexus. Chris lovingly refers to it as the HTC “Sexus.” I guess he likes it? We also talk about the Pokemon Go craze and how buggy the app has been. Other topics include Huawei’s deception, Snapchat Memories, and a surprising AT&T correction. Thanks for watching/listening!
