Phone Challenge! Record a Podcast! Contest with RODE Microphones!

I preach a LOT about folks getting more use out of their smartphones. I WANT you to get more bang for your gadget buck. Showing people all the things their phone can REALLY do is one of my favorite parts of this job.

Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, record a podcast or interview using your phone about life over the last year!

To sweeten the deal, my pals at RODE Microphones are looking to give away an amazing little mic that can take your future phone recordings to the next level!

Happy recording and good luck! Contest details in the link below! Continue reading “Phone Challenge! Record a Podcast! Contest with RODE Microphones!”

OnePlus 9 Pro Camera Conclusion: Living up to the Hasselblad hype?

Ok. The Hasselblad labeling is a bit overdone, but I can’t fault a company for wanting to make a little noise.

Dang. Performance testing is hard enough, but it’s been REALLY challenging THIS year on premium smartphones. We definitely seem to be dealing with SOME kind of GPU limiter on the OnePlus 9 Pro. That makes comparing phones a LOT more complicated…
