Vivo X90 Pro is HERE! First Look at the NEXT Stage of Smartphone Photography!

Vivo X90 Pro first impressions!

This is one of the first phones to move to a proper 1″ type sensor! This is a HUGE step for mobile photography and video.

Let’s chat! Continue reading “Vivo X90 Pro is HERE! First Look at the NEXT Stage of Smartphone Photography!”

I don’t do a ton of case reviewing, but I was in a bind.

The OnePlus 11 just arrived! Unsurprisingly, there aren’t any cases available to buy on OnePlus.com. Searching on Amazon, I was able to find ONE case available to purchase and ship here in the United States.

Can we just admit that Google Photos kinda sucks?

HUGE UPDATE!

Almost a year after I wrote this editorial, I’m happy to report that Google Photos has been updated, and we see a HUGE improvement to processing times!

The rest of the app is still ugly and clumsy, but now it’s ugly, clumsy, and FASTER!!!

ORIGINAL ARTICLE

Not the SERVICE Google Photos. The SERVICE is great. I’m talking about the Google Photos app.

Google Photos (the app) kinda sucks. Allow me to explain.

I’ve been digging into the iQOO 11, and performance testing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. It’s really exciting to see the improvements coming to PREMIUM tier smartphones. These are much better behaved hot rod pocket computers.

I’ve added some new tests to my collection of benchmarks, and I’m tracking two different tests using Google Photos.

Pixel 7 Pro vs XPERIA 1 IV: The most important phones of the year…

Not the “best” phones of the year. Certainly not the most popular phones of the year.

I believe Google and Sony have made the most distinctly different phones from each other, and these phones are the “bookends” of the Premium Android market.

I don’t know that two phones could be more different from each other, and that’s enough for me to shoot a showdown!
