Let's Talk Tech
Android 12 is here for OnePlus owners!
This update brings quite a few changes, and feels a little more like an Oppo. I don’t understand why that might be a bad thing, but a LOT of Android enthusiasts seem to be upset.
Let’s take a quick look through some of the changes, new features, and some CLEAR improvements from my first day of use! Continue reading “OnePlus 9 on Android 12: What works? What doesn’t?”
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?
Let’s chat cameras! Continue reading “The BIG Phone Camera Photo Showdown: Pixel 6 Pro vs XPERIA Pro-I vs Vivo X70 Pro+”
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.
That brings some teething pains, but the launch has been surprisingly smooth. We can absolutely discuss some pros and cons, but we should also hit ALL phones with the same early reviewer energy, right?
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…”
How powerful is the Pixel 6 Pro?
How fast is Tensor? We can finally dig into some numbers! Taking a look at some benchmarks and tests, we can give this new SOC its first comparison against some other premium phones of this year. We’re JUST starting the conversation on this phone, but even in these early days, competition is fun.
Let’s dig in! Continue reading “Pixel 6 Pro Creator Benchmarks: Tensor Performance Part 2”

The Pixel 6 Pro is finally in my hands!
I’m literally MINUTES into setting it up, and getting the phone out of the box. I have some thoughts to share about this phone already. There’s a TON of pressure on Google to deliver. Let’s chat quick about what we should expect from a new phone launch… Continue reading “Pixel 6 Pro: So much is riding on this one phone…”
Camera conversations love to focus on new features and listing all the hardware specs, but trying to describe WHY one camera might be better than another requires a LOT more nuance. It’s not as simple as which camera has “the gooder colors”, we gotta dig deeper than that.
Let’s chat about how a camera FEELS in the hand.

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!”
