OnePlus 7T vs OnePlus 6T: A Worthy One-Year Upgrade?

OnePlus 7T vs OnePlus 6T! FIGHT!

The highest compliment I can pay a manufacturer, that a new phone is improved enough to warrant replacing last year’s model. This question is even more difficult to answer when talking about OnePlus. This brand has built a solid reputation for top tier performance. The 6T can still outperform current Exynos Galaxy phones.

Has the 7T evolved enough to replace its predecessor? Let’s take a look… Continue reading “OnePlus 7T vs OnePlus 6T: A Worthy One-Year Upgrade?”

Sony Xperia 1 Review: Something Fresh

We can’t keep crying about phones getting boring, then only talk about two or three manufacturers on YouTube. Sony moved to a different style of premium phone, and this aspect ratio change feels fresh. It’s a special device, for a certain kind of premium consumer.

T-Mobile Revvlry+ Review: Don’t Make THAT Face! It’s a GOOD Phone!

In-between reviewing premium EXPENSIVE phones, you’d think a $350 STORE brand device would stand out in a bad way. Thankfully T-Mobile’s Revvl refresh stacks up well to the competition.

Android 10 on the Google Pixel 3a – Living up to Promises and Expectations

Yesterday was Android 10 day! A flurry of podcasts, articles, and videos hit the web showing off the official release of Google’s newest phone operating system. I joined the fun talking about Android’s native Desktop Mode on a OnePlus 7 Pro Open Beta, but yesterday was all about Google’s Pixel. Very few other manufacturers can match the update speed of a first party Hardware + Software solution.
