Galaxy S23 Ultra vs Vivo X90 Pro Photo Showdown!
What’s REALLY better for image quality, more resolution or a bigger sensor?
I feel the WOW-WORTHY-RESOLUTION claims from Samsung a little troubling. The best way to test this MEGAPICKLE claim? We gotta compare the Note 23 against a PHOTO CHAMP!
The Vivo X90 Pro is ready for a fight. Will FOUR TIMES MORE PICKLES take down the 1″ sensor on the Vivo?
LET’S PEEP SOME PIXELS! Continue reading “Galaxy S23 Ultra: Can 200MP Beat the Vivo X90 Pro 1″ Sensor? NOPE!”
XIAOMI 13!
Here’s a quick first look at a REALLY nice phone. The Xiaomi 13 is a little smaller, but it’s still PLENTY powerful, has decent battery life, quick charging, and a NICE premium build. Xiaomi’s launch this year feels more familiar for offering big/little options, but this phone will face TOUGH competition from the more streamlined solutions from Oppo and Vivo.
Let’s take a quick look around the Xiaomi 13! Lucky number 13! Continue reading “Xiaomi 13 First Look! A NICE Smaller Phone!”
Vivo X90 Pro first impressions!
This is one of the first phones to move to a proper 1″ type sensor! This is a HUGE step for mobile photography and video. More important than adding more megapickles, a bigger sensor dramatically changes the look of your content. I’ve had it for ONE DAY, so here are some EARLY EARLY thoughts about the phone, the camera, and this new MediaTek Dimensity 9200 SOC.

I don’t do a ton of case reviewing, but I was in a bind.
The OnePlus 11 just arrived! Unsurprisingly, there aren’t any cases available to buy on OnePlus.com. Searching on Amazon, I was able to find ONE case available to purchase and ship here in the United States.
Foluu sells a $9 clear bumper case, and it’s a clear bumper case. Continue reading “I Bought The FIRST OnePlus 11 Case Available on Amazon! It’s $9! It’s Fine…”

Almost a year after I wrote this editorial, I’m happy to report that Google Photos has been updated, and we see a HUGE improvement to processing times!
The rest of the app is still ugly and clumsy, but now it’s ugly, clumsy, and FASTER!!!
Not the SERVICE Google Photos. The SERVICE is great. I’m talking about the Google Photos app.
Google Photos (the app) kinda sucks. Allow me to explain.
I’ve been digging into the iQOO 11, and performance testing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. It’s really exciting to see the improvements coming to PREMIUM tier smartphones. These are much better behaved hot rod pocket computers.
I’ve added some new tests to my collection of benchmarks, and I’m tracking two different tests using Google Photos.
Google Photos is painful to use. Continue reading “Can we just admit that Google Photos kinda sucks?”
