Pixel 6A: Popularity and Toxic Review Trends…

Before I finish my Pixel 6A review, we need to have ONE more chat about review trends and YouTube popularity. If you’re NOT interested in a conversation about metrics on YouTube, GET OUT NOW.

That said, we still see frustrating data on how smaller competitors are handled when we factor in the idea of how online influencers often make money. If we’re trying to guide enthusiasts and consumers to make better purchasing decisions, looking at the search popularity to guide our review content is a HORRIFICALLY bad trend… Continue reading “Pixel 6A: Popularity and Toxic Review Trends…”

Galaxy S22 Ultra: The Productivity Champ of 2022 (Part 2 of 2)

Note 22 review!

Wrapping up our two-part look at Samsung, we’ve covered some lows. Now we get to talk about some highs.

The entire consumer electronics industry is in a rough spot for components and distribution. It’s refreshing to see a slate Samsung phone deliver a unique vibe. This isn’t an “average” all rounder phone. This is built with purpose and for a specific kind of user.

If it waddles like a Note, and quacks like a Note, and S-pens like a Note, then it’s a Note. This phone is a Note, and I love it.

Pixel 6 Pro Two Week Review: Just the beginning…

Pixel 6 Pro REVIEW!

This phone is an incredible fresh start for Google. New design. New OS. New UI. New Camera. New SOC. There’s no part of this phone which feels like a holdover from the last generation of Pixel phones.

Allow me to play apologist for some early bugs, because I like where this might be going… Continue reading “Pixel 6 Pro Two Week Review: Just the beginning…”
