Let's Talk Tech
Sony has been refining and polishing the Xperia line up! The Xperia 5 now represents one of the best performing Sony phones I’ve ever used, at a more competitive price than previous “premium” Xperia handsets.
Great cameras, very good battery life, and a fantastic screen!
It’s just a shame that no one will know about it… Continue reading “Sony Xperia 5 Review: 2019’s Best Sleeper Smartphone?”
At some point we need to acknowledge that the Pixel 4 is a good phone. A REALLY good phone. The healthy debate isn’t “winner or loser”. Instead, the tricky question for Pixel fans:
How large is the audience for THIS phone, who won’t be satisfied by a Pixel 3A?
Can we make it a rule? That we don’t take Pixel reviews seriously until we see the fabric case is messed up? I mean, like someone actually used the phone enough to get a LITTLE life on it… Continue reading “Pixel 4XL Review: Where we accept it’s a REALLY good phone!”
I’m going to get a LOT of criticisms about my “tone” when the public version of this review is published.
I have a hard time with the inconsistency of reviews we’ve seen on the Pixel 4. I haven’t seen a lot of folks review the phone for what it really is. Instead, most seem fine focusing on what the phone is NOT, and calling it a day.
Well, I love a good underdog fight. There’s quite a bit of crankiness in this video, but let’s see if we can judge the Pixel by the same criteria we rate all phone cameras.
Who is the Pixel for? Let’s see if we can answer that together! Continue reading “Pixel 4 XL Camera Conclusion: Exactly what Google promised…”
What makes a phone a GAMING phone?
One part phone review. One part cranky soapbox on how no phone will ever really be “good enough” to tempt reviewers away from the most popular brands for YT SEO. If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree…
This was a LOT of phone for me to wrap my brain around in two weeks. Let’s chat specs, hardware, and UNCOMPROMISING performance. Continue reading “Asus ROG Phone II Review and Some Thoughts on How Gaming Phones are Reviewed…”
Will a phone by any other name perform as sweetly? Sure!
I really thought these two would be more similar, but ONE accessory decision makes them feel significantly different. The G8X couldn’t feel more different from the G8 than if they were made by different manufacturers.
Let’s take a quick tour through what’s different! Continue reading “LG G8X vs LG G8: The difference ONE letter makes!”
EPIC smartphone throttle test!
If we want phones to start replacing laptops, they have to handle heavier workloads. I’ve gotten criticisms that my video rendering test is too short, so let’s REALLY drive some phones hard. What if we rendered a WHOLE MOVIE on a phone? Can our mobile gadgets hand with laptops? Will phones run too hot?
Only one way to know! We gotta do it!
They’re SO PRETTY!
But do they sound as good as they look?
Premium headphones should be graded against sound quality, but we can’t dismiss the “fashion” side of the equation with any kind of wearable technology. With that in mind, let’s chat about the Meze 99 Classics! Continue reading “Meze 99 Classics Review: Walnut and Silver – Premium Audio – So Pretty”
It’s one of the best phones of the year at any price. I’m not going to shock anyone by sharing my mostly positive experiences.
Still, we should chat about this phone, a CONFUSING year of product releases, and what people MIGHT want if they decide to shop upscale.
Does the 7T still hang against MUCH more expensive handsets?
