Infinix Note 60 Ultra: Embarrassing Samsung and Google

Infinix Note 60 Ultra Review!

I’ve always enjoyed Infinix for being a budget brand that offers up HUGE value. We can always count on good performance at a low price.

After reviewing the Note 60 Pro, it’s been interesting to see what the brand can do when they set their sights higher and move up the pricing food chain. While I often mock labels on phones like “pro” and “ultra”, the Note 60 Ultra does set itself apart from it’s more modest “pro” sibling.

It’s an AI heavy episode, and I’m bringing out some big guns!

OpenAI is making some hardware, and while that’s kinda stupid, we’re REALLY more concerned about the plans for adult content. Disney and Paramount are putting pressure on Bytedance to remove copyrighted characters from Seedance Gen AI tools. Google and Microsoft are trying to find influencers to promote AI, but fewer are taking the cash.

And I have a chat with Michael Nordquist, VP of Product Marketing at AMD, to talk about the hardware side of consumer AI.

Infinix Note 60 Pro: Why Can’t We Have This Phone in the USA?

Infinix Note 60 Pro review!

This is a budget line of phones, easily undercutting the price of the Pixel A series, and yet, this is now going toe to toe with premium mid-rangers. This phone punches WELL above its price tag.

WHY CAN’T I BUY ONE HERE?!?!? Continue reading “Infinix Note 60 Pro: Why Can’t We Have This Phone in the USA?”

Vivo V70 review!

The NON-ELITE version of this phone might be the better buy? Vivo makes some of the best camera phones on the market, and the mid-priced V series phones score some fancy new features! Considering the target audience though, I think most folks should stick with the cheaper version of the V70.

Allow me to explain… Continue reading “Vivo V70 Smartphone Review: Maybe you don’t need the Elite?”
