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.

Galaxy S22: A Phone to Skip (Samsung in 2022 Part 1 of 2)

The Galaxy S22 is a mediocre option for a premium tier phone.

If you’re going to spend a lot on a phone, this aint it. I have a lot of really complicated feelings about smartphones in general and Samsung specifically. Let’s break down our options.

Where might someone get a better bang for their gadget buck?

What makes a phone design “desirable”?

It feels really nice in the hand. It arrives in different colors. It might be shiny or matte. It might have curved glass or beveled metal edges.

What makes a smartphone “desirable”?

I’m in the rare position of getting to play with numerous smartphones throughout the year. I don’t need to speculate on phone design, or rely on press photos. I really get to hold them in my hand and use them.

I often criticize reviews that focus too much on aesthetic conversations about a phone’s “feel”, and I still highly recommend people put a case on their phone to protect their main communication gadget.

Even for those points though, I can’t deny that I still get an emotional thrill out of handling a new phone. Continue reading “What makes a phone design “desirable”?”

Samsung DeX CAN replace a laptop, but it needs your help…

DeX rocks.

A desktop mode on a phone is a crown jewel feature. It’s a disruptive way to use a smartphone. We CAN replace the need for other computers and tablets. However, these features WON’T get better if we don’t use them.

The conversation matters, and sharing these experiences might help save someone a LOT of money they don’t need to spend.

TCL 30V: One Month with Verizon’s Cheapest 5G Phone

TCL 30V review!

Using this phone for a month, it’s been an interesting  exercise in balancing cost against performance. It gets crazy fast 5G  data (in some areas), but it’s not the most powerful phone I’ve ever  used.

Where does this fit for someone shopping a good deal on the  Verizon network?

Galaxy S22: Getting run over by the hype train…

Galaxy S22 first impressions, and a conversation about how we keep getting reviews wrong. The “entry premium” phone from Samsung is mediocre at best, and a PAIN POINT phone at worse. I believe the main reason for its existence is to move people up to spend more on an S22+.

This is gonna take a bit of explaining… Continue reading “Galaxy S22: Getting run over by the hype train…”
