Let's Talk Tech
Last Monday of the month! That means we hang out in our pajamas!
A chill geeky chat with some good tech friends. We ramble through some conversations about music and music players. We chat about some camera tech and smartphone tech. We compare gaming phones against Steam Decks. Then I whine a bit about YouTube comments.
Let’s get our tech week started right!
What do manufacturers do when the word “Pro” has lost all meaning in describing phones?
We move to ULTRA!
The Axon 40 Ultra was a happy return for me.
I was a huge fan of ZTE phones during the Axon 7 era. I’ve been really curious what the company has to offer today. Judging whether the Axon 40 earns its “Ultra” badge, we should probably break down the current spectrum of phone pricing. Continue reading “ZTE Axon 40 Ultra: Can we get an ULTRA Phone for cheap?”
Fiio BTR7 Review!
It’s a LITTLE Bluetooth adapter, but it delivers a BIG sound! This little DAC has a pair of incredible THX amps on tap, and it’s one of the most powerful solutions I’ve ever used. Is it maybe TOO good? Can it get TOO loud? Let’s take a listen!

It’s always fun to revisit the last generation of LG phones, but at the same time, it’s a little sad to see how much we’ve lost on premium tier phones.
LG stopped producing phones in 2020. They went out on a high note. The V60, Velvet, and Wing were a terrific trio, highlighting everything we enjoy about LG design and innovation.
The memory of LG doesn’t reflect the actual products released by the brand.
Ask a techie about the label, and you’re likely to get replies joking about “boot loops” and a poor track record for updates. Unless someone spent actual time with the brand, it was easy to overlook the significant improvements to build quality and support.
It would be like making an “all Samsungs explode” joke today. A lazy joke in poor taste.
What’s been most interesting to see, LG’s best years for software support arrived after the company shuttered their smartphone division. Continue reading “LG V60 in 2022: Still the most feature complete…”
A LOT of news this week. The FDA is allowing OTC sales of hearing aids! HBO Max is losing a TON of content. Snap is giving up on drones. Apple is still SUPER anti-environment.
There’s a HUGE new exploit for Apple products that might have been used in the wild.
And we should chat a bit about performance testing new phones!
Let’s get our tech week started right!

The MARS-1000 Pro is a BIG box of battery power! Power Stations are exciting. You can easily carry power for gadgets and appliances. You can run TVs or refrigerators. Power stations are great for work and play.

The Poco M4 5G is a champ!
Spending some time with a solid affordable daily driver, I think a LOT of people would enjoy this phone. The only problem is, there are numerous options FROM POCO, and there’s a lot of great competition in this price tier.
Can we have TOO much of a good thing? Continue reading “POCO M4 5G – Too many GREAT inexpensive phones?”
