Let's Talk Tech
Galaxy S10e review! It’s so close to perfect. A smaller phone without a curved screen, a power button fingerprint scanner, and a wide angle camera. On paper, this phone should be my jam, but a few key issues keep me from using the Galaxy S10e as my daily driver. Let’s take a look at why I’m sending this phone back.

Months after launch, with the promise of updates and improvements, Samsung’s little-est Galaxy S10e still hasn’t lived up to its potential. Let’s take a closer look at photo and video performance from the world’s top selling manufacturer, making claims of a “pro-grade” camera.

The Comica WS60 might not be as techie cool as some of the competition, and it’s significantly larger than other options I’ve played with, it offers a single key spec that completely tips the price / performance ratio. I’m on a quest to improve the content we can produce out in the field. Cameras have gotten really good. There’s no shortage of cool stands, mounts, gimbals, and lighting solutions. Audio has been lagging behind, but we’re now getting better solutions in the vlogging “prosumer” space.

Before we get into this, I’d like you to check something on your phone. Look through your app drawer. Look up your battery stats. If you use any kind of Digital Wellbeing tracking, look at the list of services used. I’d like you to look up what apps and services really get used on your phone. I’ll come back to this, but you probably already know where I’m going after reading the title of this editorial.
In 2016 I was in Germany covering IFA with Jaime for Pocketnow. We had just finished a Huawei presser, the company showing off a new pair of premium mid-range phones. This was a bit confusing between all the various lines of Huawei and Honor gear, but they sent us away with a Nova and a Nova Plus to demo and review.
I was extremely skeptical. This phone was going to be expensive for its internals, starting at €400. Pricing it above my precious Honor 8 felt “wrong”. I am a professional though, so I popped the smaller Nova out of its box, gave Jaime the larger phone, and we shot a first impressions video from our hotel.
Reading the specs, being concerned about price, and then using the phone, those concerns slowly evaporated. Continue reading “Pixel 3a doesn’t just cover the basics: Your tech elitism costs you cash”

Are they the right fit for you? Let’s take a listen! Continue reading “1MORE Stylish True Wireless Earbuds: Changing my opinion on losing the cables…”
