Let's Talk Tech
RedMagic 7 Pro vs Poco F4 GT!
Which gaming phone is the better solution for PLAYING GAMES? Which company makes the better phone? Let’s take a quick tour through specs, hardware, software, and performance!
These two devices are MONSTERS, but one phone has to win! Continue reading “Poco F4 GT vs RedMagic 7 Pro: Gaming Phone Showdown!”
I used to produce a LOT of comparison videos. They were some of my favorite to shoot, and I would often stage them as showdowns.
“FIGHT FOR BLOOD!” [Punching Sound Effects]
I think it’s still helpful to compare different devices, highlight pros and cons, maybe even help guide someone shopping a new phone. We know this is MOSTLY entertainment for techies, but they’re still experiences worth sharing.
Producing comparisons as text pieces, the first battle to tackle is OnePlus! In my recent OnePlus 10 Pro review video, I said the toughest competition for the 10 Pro did NOT come from another manufacturer.
Allow me to explain… Continue reading “OnePlus 10 Pro vs OnePlus 9 Pro (and OnePlus 8 Pro) – SMARTPHONE SHOWDOWN!”
Poco M4 Pro vs Poco M4 Pro 5G!
It’s time for a budget phone showdown! When we add 5G to a spec sheet, that adds quite a bit to the manufacturing costs. As more areas roll out 5G, we need to keep an eye on what that does to phone prices. Sometimes specs on paper LOOK similar, but they don’t always perform the same… Continue reading “WIll the REAL Poco M4 Pro Please Stand Up? The Cost of 5G…”
Pixel 6 Pro vs XPERIA Pro-I vs Vivo X70 Pro+!
Three phones with VERY different photo vibes. It’s exciting to compare these solutions as they have similar main sensors. Some of the biggest photo solutions that still fit in your pocket, but once we compare the sensor size, we see that’s about the only thing these phones share.
Google, Sony, and Vivo. If YOU were shopping a premium or professional tier phone, which camera vibe would be the right fit for you?

We love phone showdowns. People cheer their “team”. We get emotionally invested in the products we buy and use.
It’s surprisingly difficult to properly divide up phones into categories where those comparisons are fair. It’s casually easy to look at a landscape of phones under $500 and pick a few for a fight. If you’ve followed my videos and reviews, you know I really like to get more specific about what KIND of device a phone might be.
I don’t think price is the decider as much as functionality or the target consumer demographic.
We should compare “communicator” phones against other communicator phones. Content creation phones should be compared against other creator phones. Gaming phones should be compared against gaming phones (and the Nintendo Switch).
With all that said, allow me to be a hypocrite as I purposely select two phones to fight based on price! Continue reading “Google Pixel 5A vs iPhone SE: What real competition looks like!”
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?”
OnePlus 9 vs Mi 11i!
I’ve been itching to do a showdown for a while now.
As soon as I got my hands on the Mi 11i, I thought it would make for a fun fight against the OnePlus 9. Premium chipsets, lots of RAM, high end camera features. OnePlus and Xiaomi are keeping competition healthy in a price window near Galaxy S21’s and iPhone 12’s.
An important step above mid-range hardware, but well below the more luxury tier pricing. What should we call these phones? Premium mid-rangers? Budget friendly flagships?
Regardless, the two put up a great fight, and here are m thoughts on which comes out on top! Continue reading “Xiaomi Mi 11i VS OnePlus 9: Stepping up to the Premium Tier”
Crippled is a STRONG word to use on a modern phone camera, but a handful of techies have declared the OP9 “crippled” for its lack of OIS. The thing about a bold claim like “crippled” we should be able to see some evidence of that pretty easily.
“Crippled” compared to what?
Let’s compare against a similarly priced phone WITH OIS, and see if we can tell the difference! Continue reading “Is the OnePlus 9 Camera “Crippled”? No OIS? Let’s Compare!”
