Ask MKBHD V5! #HYPE

Ask MKBHD V5! #HYPE continues Marques Brownlee's tradition of a rapid fire AMA where he answers questions submitted via Twitter. In the first stretch, around the 0:23 mark, he confirms plans to attend CES 2016 and discusses the possibility of press access for YouTube channels, plus the potential of a meetup similar to a previous event, signaling a continuing engagement with the tech community and live events. He then answers about his current device, revealing a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge in a black carbon fiber skin, while noting his battery life remains suboptimal but praising the display and camera. The segment also touches on DeAndre Jordan's return to the Clippers in a lighthearted aside, setting a friendly, casual tone for the AMA. Moving forward, he mentions the idea of future collaborations with the Verge, describing collaboration as a vehicle for videos that neither channel could produce alone, and references a prior dream smartphone video as a successful example of their joint work. In the latter portion, starting around 6:00, Marques shares reflections on Jurassic World, stating it’s entertaining even if not the best film, which matters to him in review terms. He dives into gear discussions, recommending the Sigma 18-35mm for its fast, sharp performance across wide and mid-range focal lengths, and notes his ongoing transition toward primes. He compares display resolutions with a preference for a 16K display on desktop over an 8K display on a phone, citing desktop surface area as a justification. The AMA closes with practical notes about his website status, a nod to a popular PC build channel, and a quick reminder about periscope sessions and live-show spontaneity, leaving viewers with a clear sense of his current tech priorities and content cadence.
