Let's Talk Tech
It seems like overkill, but I still argue, we should have moved up to 4K on premium phone displays a while ago. There are different ways to differentiate a premium phone screen, but Sony stands alone with packing more dots on the screen. Let’s take a look!

FIGHT! Sure. Some companies spend a TON on advertising a “pro” camera, but then cut manual controls which pros might care about. I just got the V50 in house, and before I have to send the XPERIA back to Sony, I shoehorned in a little camera comparisons.

What would legit stop you from picking up a less expensive device? Let’s chat! Continue reading “What stops YOU from using the Google Pixel 3a?”
Popping in for a minute to see where we stand with the Nokia 9. I slow played the review, and carved it up more, to see if HMD could properly support a premium phone built around a crazy camera experiment. Was my patience rewarded? Let’s take a look… Continue reading “Nokia 9 PureView Check Up: No News is Probably Bad News…”
Just a bit of fun for our channels. Last year TK and I swapped our favorite premium phones of 2018. This year we’re taking a challenge from our friend @FatProduce to spend a week with a CHEAP phone.

Pretty hilarious. I wanted to draw a winner live on yesterday’s podcast, but when I tried logging into Gleam, they were in the middle of a server migration and the entire site was down. You can see the carnage from the podcast here.
It took a while, but I was finally able to pick a winner. Congratulations to @warforge2004 on Twitter! And, a thank you to everyone who participated. I hope to do an international contest soon!
