I’m still sick as a dog, but we’ve got a TON of tech to talk about! Apparently thin gadgets can bend! Apparently the 2080Ti DOES have some thermal issues! Apparently the Pixel 3 Lite IS real! And, we’ve reached a new goal on the Patreon for ad-free podcasts!

Upgrading from a OnePlus 6 to a 6T, the camera hardware didn’t change, but we did get a new software feature for both phones. Nightscape is another entry in a growing list of low light, multiple exposure, software processing options. Let’s take it for a spin!

Well, if OnePlus is gonna dump the headphone jack, a decent pair of low cost USB-C headphones helps take some of the sting off, but it’s not ALL roses. Let’s take a listen!

The move from OnePlus 6 to 6T wasn’t as significant as previous OnePlus refreshes, save for one critical feature. Buying a 6T means we’re now living the dongle life. Let’s take a quick listen to this new audio hardware. The Good. The Bad. and the also Bad.

For $1000, the iPhone XS is too fragile to use outside naked, especially for how costly repairs can be. I’ve been a big fan of Zizo cases, but when their customer service fails to address a significant issue, it’s time to move on. Thankfully ZeroLemon was able to help a tech reviewer out…

I posted three sets of photos from three different phones, and requested YOUR comments on Instagram. Which phone would YOU take with you for a night out on the town?

I got a TON of great comments on that post. Lot’s of people sharing their thoughts on their favorite processing styles.
