Note 20 Ultra Camera Conclusion!
A BIG phone with BIG cameras and a BIG price tag! Expectations are always high for a Note. This has historically been Samsung’s crown jewel workhorse phone.
Following the S20 Ultra, and selling at a PREMIUM tier, what should we expect from this camera hardware? Samsung says this phone is “pro grade”, so let’s see that in action! Continue reading “Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Camera Conclusion: A STEEP price for RAW capability…”
LG Wing review!
Yup. This phone is big. This phone is a little more fragile. This phone is expensive.
And this is the most fun I’ve had with a phone review in a while.
