Let's Talk Tech
Android 12 is here for OnePlus owners!
This update brings quite a few changes, and feels a little more like an Oppo. I don’t understand why that might be a bad thing, but a LOT of Android enthusiasts seem to be upset.
Let’s take a quick look through some of the changes, new features, and some CLEAR improvements from my first day of use! Continue reading “OnePlus 9 on Android 12: What works? What doesn’t?”
Pixel 6 Pro vs XPERIA Pro-I vs Vivo X70 Pro+!
Three phones with VERY different photo vibes. It’s exciting to compare these solutions as they have similar main sensors. Some of the biggest photo solutions that still fit in your pocket, but once we compare the sensor size, we see that’s about the only thing these phones share.
Google, Sony, and Vivo. If YOU were shopping a premium or professional tier phone, which camera vibe would be the right fit for you?

Poco M4 Pro Review!
Poco proudly flies the “flagship killer” banner, delivering phones that offer an incredible bang for buck. The new M4 Pro is in the GadgetLab, and taking it for a test drive, this is brutal competition. Standing out from the crowd is a challenge though.
Does this Poco have the goods to get YOUR attention? Continue reading “Poco M4 Pro 5G: Everything YOU need?”
Pixel 6 Pro REVIEW!
This phone is an incredible fresh start for Google. New design. New OS. New UI. New Camera. New SOC. There’s no part of this phone which feels like a holdover from the last generation of Pixel phones.
That brings some teething pains, but the launch has been surprisingly smooth. We can absolutely discuss some pros and cons, but we should also hit ALL phones with the same early reviewer energy, right?
Allow me to play apologist for some early bugs, because I like where this might be going… Continue reading “Pixel 6 Pro Two Week Review: Just the beginning…”
This thing is NO JOKE.
There’s a bit of a gap in AndroidLand.
Android TABLETS are often positioned as inexpensive media consumption devices. If you want a powerful slate, the market points you to either a GalaxyTab, or some other option like a Windows/ChomeOS/iPad.
Handling a Duo 2, it’s refreshing to use a multi-tasking slate, that is also a current-gen powerhouse computer. While it can be a bit clumsy at times as a phone, there’s a satisfying idea of “doing more” while on the go. This is where we get to see how this radically thin folding slab stacks up to the competition.
Here’s the Surface Duo 2 by the benchmarks! Continue reading “Microsoft Surface Duo 2 By The Benchmarks: Getting More Done FASTER!”
While I wrap up shooting samples for a more in depth camera look at the Pro-I, and some upcoming comparisons, I wanted to take a couple minutes to chat about camera design. A camera is more complicated than just a shutter button on a screen.
Sony shows a LOT of thought can go into helping a user produce better content. Continue reading “Sony XPERIA Pro-I Camera: Why is this SO good?”
XPERIA Pro I hands on!
This is NOT a review, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a LOT of ground to cover. Sony is THE premium mobile brand for content creators and film makers. The XPERIA Pro I joins the mega-sensor camera club in a BIG way. When Sony says “Pro”, they REALLY mean PRO.
Let’s dig into this monster camera phone! Continue reading “Sony XPERIA Pro-I: A REAL Pro Camera Phone!”
How powerful is the Pixel 6 Pro?
How fast is Tensor? We can finally dig into some numbers! Taking a look at some benchmarks and tests, we can give this new SOC its first comparison against some other premium phones of this year. We’re JUST starting the conversation on this phone, but even in these early days, competition is fun.
Let’s dig in! Continue reading “Pixel 6 Pro Creator Benchmarks: Tensor Performance Part 2”
