Are these basically the same phone? iQOO 15R vs OnePlus 15R!

iQOO 15R vs OnePlus 15R!

I wanna call this a FIGHT FOR BLOOD! Two phones enter, and BOTH phones will probably leave, because the overall experience between these two devices is nearly identical.

OnePlus and iQOO have been close cousins for a while now, and even though the BBK alliance isn’t as clearly defined as it used to be, the two companies seem to approach similar devices in similar ways.

Still, I have to declare a winner. What small difference might eke out a win for one of these phones?

You gotta watch to find out! Continue reading “Are these basically the same phone? iQOO 15R vs OnePlus 15R!”

Massive Battery In a Flagship Killer Phone: iQOO 15R Review!

iQOO 15R review!

I’m always torn on the ‘R’ phones. Whatever “reduced” or mid-year option arrives, where does it really fit against the rest of the competition?
This is a great piece of hardware, that is obviously targeting a younger market, and keeping prices in check.

How might this fare against a SLIGHTLY older Premium phone though?

Xiaomi 17 Ultra Review: Is this the Galaxy Killer?

Xiaomi 17 Ultra review time!

I waited until Samsung Unpacked. I really wanted to have the Galaxy announcement fresh in my mind when I finished writing up my experiences on this Xiaomi. More than just “which device is betterer” in some stupid singular benchmark, I tried to consider “which company’s business model would I want to support more”.

Infinix Note 60 Ultra: Embarrassing Samsung and Google

Infinix Note 60 Ultra Review!

I’ve always enjoyed Infinix for being a budget brand that offers up HUGE value. We can always count on good performance at a low price.

After reviewing the Note 60 Pro, it’s been interesting to see what the brand can do when they set their sights higher and move up the pricing food chain. While I often mock labels on phones like “pro” and “ultra”, the Note 60 Ultra does set itself apart from it’s more modest “pro” sibling.

Infinix Note 60 Pro: Why Can’t We Have This Phone in the USA?

Infinix Note 60 Pro review!

This is a budget line of phones, easily undercutting the price of the Pixel A series, and yet, this is now going toe to toe with premium mid-rangers. This phone punches WELL above its price tag.

WHY CAN’T I BUY ONE HERE?!?!? Continue reading “Infinix Note 60 Pro: Why Can’t We Have This Phone in the USA?”

Vivo V70 Smartphone Review: Maybe you don’t need the Elite?

Vivo V70 review!

The NON-ELITE version of this phone might be the better buy? Vivo makes some of the best camera phones on the market, and the mid-priced V series phones score some fancy new features! Considering the target audience though, I think most folks should stick with the cheaper version of the V70.

Allow me to explain… Continue reading “Vivo V70 Smartphone Review: Maybe you don’t need the Elite?”
