Windows Central Podcast: CES 2017 Mega Special with Android Central
With our powers combined we'll stumble through this.

CES 2017 is over and we're all back home, but before we left Las Vegas, we gathered around the microphone for one of our favorite trade show traditions: the mega cross-site podcast!
It's long, it's rambling, it's occasionally afflicted with electronic noise because somebody's phone was desperately searching for signal (sorry about that), it's jam-packed with discussion of dozens of gadgets — it's the CES 2017 Android Central and Windows Central podcast!

What the ****? The Mate 9 is the first Kirin processor available in the US!? I'm pretty sure the Honor 8 I bought at Best Buy 4 months ago would beg to differ. Man this network loves to act like they know what they're talking about.
