Let's Talk Tech
Vertical app drawers FTW!
How we customize our phones is a very personal thing. But, I think we can ALL agree that sideways app drawers are the worst! Continue reading “Sideways App Drawers Are Lame! How do YOU Organize Your Phone?”

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?

A rough week for Apple. Italy is fining the company over misleading ads, Brazil is mandating chargers be included with the iPhone, and another incredible exploit was detailed for iOS. Reddit released their daily user figures. Google will offer a credit to help move folks to phones that support VoLTE.
And let’s chat about the shiny new SOC that Qualcomm announced!
Let’s get our tech week started right!

This phone rocks.
The mission of a snappy, quick, high performance phone is alive and well at OnePlus. There are no tragic deal breakers here. There are no critical missteps.
The mid-season refresh for OnePlus this year delivers in all the areas we should expect from the brand. The only “issue” is more aggressive competition from other manufacturers.

It makes me sad to lose a phone that focuses on productivity.
The Note has long been the crown jewel example of Android specialty hardware. Samsung built up this product line to represent the bleeding edge of mobile tech. It’s rightfully the first phone many consider when they need to really work while on the go.
But in light of increasing compromises, does the Note still have a place in the smartphone landscape? Is the niche of “stylus enabled” worth the loss of battery capacity?
Maybe it’s the right time to let it go? Continue reading “The End of the Galaxy Note: The right time to say goodbye?”
What should we expect from “GAMER” hardware?
In PC Land, we expect laptops and desktops that offer a higher tier of graphics performance, with enhanced cooling hardware for better system stability.
For phones though, we often don’t see significant differences in CPU and GPU performance, as all manufacturers are drawing from the same pool of chips. Mainstream phones now offer high refresh rate displays, and software built to enhance the gaming experience.
Gaming phones differentiate themselves more on design, accent lighting, and battery capacity.
But when a manufacturer adds an internal fan for better active cooling, that’s an interesting bit of hardware to test.
The ZTE Nubia RedMagic 5S has an internal cooling fan, so let’s see if we can drive this phone harder! Continue reading “ZTE Nubia RedMagic 5S By the Benchmarks: Does GAMER Hardware Improve Performance?”
Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you’re enjoying some tasty leftovers!
Will Microsoft bring Android apps to Windows? Comcast will add data caps to all subscriber plans next year. Right to Repair conversations are heating up in the UK and EU. Amazon’s Sidewalk “service” sounds like a security nightmare.
I spent WAY TOO LONG trying to fix my battery benchmark, and Mrs. GadgetGuy is going to be rocking a new phone!
Let’s get our tech week started right!
