Let's Talk Tech
I love dual screen phones.
The best option for heavy multi-tasking. The V60 and the Duo can both use two screens, but beyond that, they’re VERY different solutions. Let’s take a look at how these two get similar jobs done. They’re not as alike as you might think… Continue reading “Surface Duo vs LG V60: More different than you’d think…”
Two years on and Apple is FINALLY fixing some of my concerns for how clumsy iOS is to use, but for new features like App Drawers and Widgets, this is still pretty messy.
Here are my NEW concerns for Apple UI. Continue reading “iOS 14 is STILL a mess!”
Let’s not pretend this is a great camera. It CAN shoot 4K video, and this is what your video will look like! But the capabilities of the Surface Duo extend beyond an OK selfie shooter. Who is this phone for? That’s the first question of a longer conversation… Continue reading “Who is the Surface Duo for? 4K Vlog Shot on the Surface Duo!”

What were you doing last Friday night? I was hiking around Ventura Blvd collecting night shots for smartphone reviews, so it’s time for a showdown! I posted three sets of photos from three different phones, and requested YOUR comments on Instagram. Which phone would YOU take with you for a night out on the town?
I was going to post the results on IG , but I felt this round required a touch more explanation than I could easily deliver in an IG post. To start, here are the full res images, uncompressed. The only edits were cropping them all into squares.
