No really. Chances are pretty good you’re missing the point of a good night mode on your phone camera.
We know the complaints. We’ve heard the “hot takes”.
“If I’m taking a photo at night, shouldn’t it be DARK? I HATE how PROCESSED phone photos are!”
Our competitors: Vivo X80 Pro vs Panasonic Lumix G9 with 12mm at f/2.8
It’s worth taking a second to break this sentiment down, because it’s likely being shared by someone who really doesn’t understand photography. At least, not as well as they think they do…
If you’re looking for a GREAT travel headphone at a reasonable price, the SonoFlow are now my top recommendation. Great sound, solid ANC, and fun tech features, these are an all-rounder win.
I’m NERDING out on this one HARD! What if we took a really nice laptop hub, and added a premium DAC? It’s such a silly little idea, but it’s EXACTLY what I’ve been hoping someone would make. If your laptop has a mediocre headphone jack, this hub will add additional ports, memory card readers, AND improve that audio playback!
This is a totally new DAC chip, so let’s check it out!
Get more use out of the gadgets you already own! A portable monitor is a GREAT way to enhance your phone and tablet use, and a laptop dock is one of the best ways to pack and carry a portable screen!
UPerfect’s Mini X is a smaller version of this idea, but keeps a big battery and adds more USB ports. This is the easiest way to add a screen to a phone, tablet, console, laptop, camera, or ANY other device that can put out a video signal.
The FCC is looking into satellite clean up! More drama in the Musk vs Twitter lawsuit. One of my favorite video editors is increasing subscription pricing. NVIDIA’s newest GPU price might have been leaked. Samsung has already cut the price of the Z Fold4. iPhone pre-orders are coming in weaker than expected.
And we get to spend some time with a couple review phones!
Camera video torture test! Let’s shoot some HEAVY video!
Looking at the concerns from other reviewers, people are wondering if the XPERIAs this year are overheating. Is this a “problem”, or should we be more concerned with video quality? Lining up phones to shoot 4k at 60fps and 4K at 120fps, we can build some data to predict how long a phone SHOULD last out in the field.
XPERIA 5IV, OnePlus 10 Pro, Axon 40 Ultra, Pixel 6A, and the Xiaomi 12S Ultra!
If you’re relying on a phone to capture memories or get work done, it’s critical we know how hard we can drive that phone for real work. Let’s see how long we can shoot before these phones tap out!
It’s a great little home security camera. Eufy includes terrific features and software. The performance is fantastic, and the phone app is one of my favorites.
ALL this for an attractive price, but there’s one fatal flaw…
Sony is the LAST option left for folks who want lifestyle features like headphone jacks and memory card support. This year the XPERIA 5 picks up a new design, more lifestyle features, and a bigger battery at a friendlier price than the XPERIA 1.
