HAPPY NEW YEAR!
As we wrap up 2021, obviously the MOST important company to take a look at, how DID LG phones perform? After shuttering most of their phone division, smart money would have bet on DISASTROUS results for LG consumers. Thankfully, that didn’t happen.

I’m gonna gear up for the camera deep dive following this major update next week.
In the meantime, let’s take a look at some of these early experiences. There are SO many things this phone gets right, and there are some things that I HOPE will be addressed in future updates. Maybe there’s one thing I think is just gonna be a hardware issue.

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.

I’m always going to be excited by better competition.
In 2019, the mobile landscape was dominated by Qualcomm and Apple SOCs at the premium tier of phones and tablets. HiSilicon’s Kirin was facing issues due to political pressures placed on Huawei. MediaTek maintained a respectable reputation as a mid-range and entry-level chip provider.
We didn’t have much choice in what powered more expensive gadgets.
Flash forward two years, we’re starting to get some insight on what will power devices in 2022, and this market is a LOT more exciting.
MediaTek took the wraps off a premium tier competitor. We’re about to hear more from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon team. Apple’s A15 is solidly refined over the A14. Google launched their first custom chip with the Pixel 6.

When it comes to pocketable portable performance, we just have one small issue…
Power. Continue reading “Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Dimensity 9000, and the Problems with POWER”
Poco M4 Pro Review!
Poco proudly flies the “flagship killer” banner, delivering phones that offer an incredible bang for buck. The new M4 Pro is in the GadgetLab, and taking it for a test drive, this is brutal competition. Standing out from the crowd is a challenge though.
Does this Poco have the goods to get YOUR attention? Continue reading “Poco M4 Pro 5G: Everything YOU need?”
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…”
