The Master List of SomeGadgetGuy Smartphone Camera Reviews

One of the biggest issues when looking at smartphone camera performance is consistency. If you can’t compare similar samples from different devices, taken under similar conditions, then it’s difficult for consumers to gauge performance outside of a “take my word for it” attitude from the reviewer.

Real world conditions, consistent locations and subjects, mostly handheld, here’s the master list of camera reviews I’ve produced. If you want to see how a Note 8 stacks up against a Note 4, here’s where you can find those reviews for staging your own comparisons. Enjoy!

The Master List of SomeGadgetGuy Smartphone Audio Reviews

All too often, reviewers gloss over audio. It’s easy to take for granted. Does a phone have a headphone jack? What kind of speakers does it have? Play 10 seconds of a sample. That’s all you need to know, right?

But if you like your ears, you know audio is more nuanced than that. Comparing speakers in a controlled and consistent fashion requires patience. Listening to headphone output, sharing a subjective opinion is valuable, but that should also be backed up by measurements.

It’s OK to share some opinions, but you should be able to also back those opinions up with some facts. That’s an area where many tech reviewers get audio wrong.

Years of reviews, testing under consistent conditions. Let’s take a listen and see what phones really deliver the ear candy! Listen healthier! Listen happier!

Honor View 10 Long Term Review: The Last Premium Mid-Ranger?

Wrapping up my time with the Honor View 10, I have a lot of thoughts to share. This was a fun phone to review, but it was a really difficult phone to compare against other devices. Of its generation, we didn’t get a lot of competition for it at that $500 price tier, and if you were shopping one today, you likely can’t get a new OnePlus 5T anymore. Two months in, how has this phone performed? Let’s take a look!
