Pixel 5A First impressions!
And boy howdy is THIS PHONE BORING! But seriously tho, maybe that’s OK? Maybe it’s ok to just give us better battery life and the promise of solid long term support. Maybe “exciting” isn’t what a lot of consumers need right now?
Let’s chat… Continue reading “The Pixel 5A is BORING!”
Easily one of my favorite gadgets of 2020.
The Surface Duo helped change my mind on using Android for tablets. It hasn’t been all roses, but this extremely ambitious folding tablet was a refreshing change of pace from the rest of the gadget lineup last year.
It’s so good, it makes me a little concerned for a Duo 2…

Hot takes! Samsung stories get all that tasty SEO traffic! OUTRAGE HEADLINE!
Sales figures are in, and the Galaxy S21 is selling poorly. Expectations were high on this line of phones, but even with price drops, Samsung’s premium offerings are failing to impress consumers.
Galaxy S21 sales are down about 20% over last year’s S20, and SIGNIFICANTLY lower than the S10 from two years ago. We’re seeing roughly a 45% drop from the S10, which has to be concerning for Samsung. That two-year period is often prime for consumers looking to upgrade.
There are obviously numerous issues facing technology manufacturers right now. We’re still in the middle of a global pandemic. Component shortages are affecting distribution. Consumers are wisely budgeting more conservatively for big purchases like electronics.

XPERIA 1 iii comparison!
The highest praise I can award a new phone is that it’s so improved over last year’s phone that it’s worth upgrading after a year. The XPERIA 1 iii brings some GREAT quality of life improvements, but are they enough to recommend flipping your XPERIA 1 ii?
It’s time for a showdown! Continue reading “XPERIA 1iii vs 1 ii: Worthy of a One-Year Upgrade?”
ToughBook Review!
This isn’t built for “AVERAGE CONSUMERS”! Still there’s a lot we can learn from a ToughBook. What would YOU want to see on a future phone or tablet? Would you borrow any of this hardware if you could buy a more rugged slate? Continue reading “World’s Most Rugged Tablet! Panasonic ToughBook FZ-S1 Review!”
Sony XPERIA 1 iii first impressions! Long-term first impressions? This all got SUPER weird. I had the phone back in May, had to send it back, and then they changed the embargo.
Yeesh…
Still, we can FINALLY share some thoughts on my favorite phone of 2021.
Where MANY premium phones are getting rid of features, Sony stands as the most complete premium option on the market today. Improvements for the camera. Improvements for the audio. AND the most beautiful screen available on any phone. We have a LOT to chat about. Let’s dig into the XPERIA! Continue reading “Sony XPERIA 1 III: FINALLY a phone for ME!”
Not a review, but sharing some thoughts on using the Pixel Buds A-Series for about a week. Refining is the name of the game, and while the A-Series might not have all the same features as the 2020 Pixel Buds, they might perform better for a lot of folks out there.
