The Dimensity 9300 looks like a powerhouse for compute tasks, but the major topic for this year’s MediaTek Summit is AI. More than tripling the AI performance of last year’s chip, are silicon companies being pressured to force AI on consumers?

#SGGQA Supplemental: AirPods Max Reactions with ElJefeReviews and BooredAtWork

Why do we let Apple do this to us?

Taking the wraps off of a LONG rumored product, Apple showed off a new pair of over-ear wireless headphones. With all the traditional bravado and aspirational marketing claims, these cans are guaranteed to be a popular fashion accessory.

For $550.

That’s where this conversation gets more difficult. What can Apple do at $550 that improves the audio consumption experience over more established audio brands?

Helping me untangle this announcement, Jeff from ElJefeReviews and Enobong from BooredAtWork join the live stream to chat out PREMIUM audio! Continue reading “#SGGQA Supplemental: AirPods Max Reactions with ElJefeReviews and BooredAtWork”

#SGGQA 161: Creator Chat – Isa Rodriguez – Isa Does Tech!

The goal is always to broaden our horizons. To really listen to more voices in the creator space, and check out different points of view. It’s never fun when our hobby becomes an echo chamber.

Isa has been a pal of mine for years, contributing to tech commentary at larger publications, but has taken it on herself to host her own style of review on her personal YouTube channel.

That’s a key word. Style. Isa Does Tech has only been around for about a year, but from her first video published, she approaches her commentary with a polished presentation, and a lot of style.

It’s not all roses though, she had a lot to share on the challenges of being a tech reviewer, when you have something a little different to say about consumer electronics. Continue reading “#SGGQA 161: Creator Chat – Isa Rodriguez – Isa Does Tech!”

SomeGadgetGuy on Android Central’s Podcast

I had a great time sitting down to chat with Daniel Bader on the AC Podcast. If you’ve ever wanted more behind the scenes info on how we approach gadget reviewing, this was a fun nerdy conversation about the tech scene. Especially as Daniel and I are both “But I Digress” kinds of reviewers.

Took me back to some of the fun conversations I used to have on the Pocketnow team, highlighting the main differences between being a solo reviewer and working on editorial for a larger site.

I hope you enjoy the conversation, and make sure to subscribe to the Android Central Podcast in your favorite podcast app! Continue reading “SomeGadgetGuy on Android Central’s Podcast”

Can you REALLY use your phone to do EVERYTHING? SomeGadgetGuy on Relatecasts Podcast!

Here’s the thing.

I actually don’t have a problem with the IDEA of a premium/expensive phone, but what I want to see is the phone start to disrupt OTHER computers. Many manufacturers are looking to mobile processors (ARM chips) for future laptops and computers. If those new portable machines use the same processor as your phone, why can’t we just use the phone?

I had a blast joining the crew at RelateCasts on the ‘Tech Down Over’ podcast to talk about expectations on phone performance, and finding the right phone for you. Give it a listen! Give it a share!
