Can a Five Year Old Phone Compete Today? How Far has Android Come Since the LG V50?

#SGGQA 327: Twitter’s War on Advertisers, Filmic and Spotify Layoffs, Playstation Dumps Content, Reddit Tries a Rebrand

They look at a couple number scores, and then draw a conclusion before any of these components have actually shipped in products to consumers. It’s kinda the worst flavor of arm chair tech reviewing.

(Get it? ARM chair? It’s a silicon pun.) Continue reading “WHOA! The Qualcomm DESTROYS the Apple M3 in a BLOODY Fight of BRUTALITY! SMASHED! WRECKED! BOOM!!! 🔥🔥🔥”
