OnePlus Buds 4 Review: What else can we say?

OnePlus sent the Buds 4 for me to test drive and review. There has been no editorial oversight offered or requested from the brand or any associated PR. These are my earnest thoughts regarding the product.

These are great earbuds, and in true OnePlus fashion, we’re delivering tech competitive features at lower prices than the accessories offered by companies like Google, Samsung, and Apple.

The newest buds are extremely familiar. We know what a good true wireless solution should look like, and the Buds 4 fit that to a tee. Continue reading “OnePlus Buds 4 Review: What else can we say?”

Xiaomi Ultra vs Vivo Ultra Main Cameras: Bigger Sensor or Longer Lens?

Making a comparison between the main cameras on the Vivo X200 Ultra and the Xiaomi 15 Ultra is really tricky. It’s easier to compare when a lot of the specs are similar. When we change camera sensors sizes AND equivalent focal lengths, it’s a lot to balance.

Still, if I have a BIGGER sensor on the Xiaomi, will it match the Vivo if I crop a photo to a similar field of view? Let’s take a look!

OnePlus made a SMALLER watch, and it still has HUGE battery life! The OnePlus Watch 3 43mm is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a slightly different design than the OnePlus 3, but it still brings all the same tech.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra Camera Conclusion: A Little Less Ultra Than Last Year?

It’s easily one of the best camera specialist phones of the year, but Xiaomi has made some compromises to the Ultra to keep prices in check. It’s a powerhouse collection of photography technologies, but it’s a very different feel from previous Xiaomi Ultras.

Still, it’s an easy recommend for someone who wants to get more out of a phone camera. If you’re interested in driving a phone camera harder, this just might be the phone for you!

Let me show you why…

Xiaomi 15: Not Ready for a Review! (UPDATED! THIS IS NOW A REVIEW!)

The Xiaomi 15 is HERE, and it’s been getting some GREAT updates! It’s EXCEEDINGLY similar to the Xiaomi 14!

Thankfully we’re not seeing a lot of downgrades or part swaps, and we manage those lifestyle upgrades like the fingerprint sensor and the battery capacity!

Still, for how expensive this new 8 Elite chip from Qualcomm is, Xiaomi sent us devices that are scoring behind the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. This is not an optimized experience yet.

Wouldn’t you know it, we got a DAY ONE patch on the reveal of this phone! Any review out now is ALREADY OBSOLETE! HURRAH! We get to do DOUBLE the work in covering this phone!
