Let's Talk Tech
Sony delivered the hardware! The XPERIA Pro is a BEAST, but we still need to work around mobile software. The main teething pains? Working in a smartphone browser.
Pulling my video from an actual live stream, lets chat about mobile broadcasting, and how to clean up your setup! Continue reading “XPERIA Pro Setup! Troubleshoot Mobile Broadcasts!”
XPERIA Pro Review!
This phone is wild. I’m shocked it actually made it to market. When Sony says a gadget is for “pros” they REALLY mean it. This phone isn’t targeting general consumers, so who is it for?
Let’s take a look! Continue reading “Sony XPERIA Pro: A Truly Professional Phone!”
Removing SD card expansion from phones is dumb.
Our premium phones continue to lose features every generation. While they get more powerful, they also become less useful, and we can’t as easily expand their functionality over time.
Is there anything we can do to stop this trend? Continue reading “Samsung is Killing the SD Card! Can we Save it?”
Talking about mid-ranger phones, plenty of techies concerned about processing power, and how those phones will age over time. So, why don’t more techies really benchmark older mid-range phones?
I guess I’ll do it!
Let’s take a four year old mid-ranger, and benchmark it against a modern mid ranger! Continue reading “Using an Old Mid Range Phone in 2021? Does it still work?”

It’s time for a showdown! FIGHT FOR BLOOD! Psh! Psh! Psh!
(Those were supposed to be the punching sounds from my old showdown videos.)
Budget hardware is brutally competitive these days. The daily driver experience found near $400 is formidable, and we’re getting more options for different features. Adding 5G to the mix, these are the phones that will help move 5G forward in the Android space. More reasonably priced, but not compromising too much from the upper mid-range tier.
OnePlus has represented the idea of low price and high performance since the brand started. 2020 was a strong year for TCL coming out of the shadows with their own label on phones.
These two phones are primed for a battle!
Let’s see how some subtle differences effect performance! Continue reading “By the Benchmarks Budget Showdown! OnePlus Nord N10 vs TCL 10 5G UW!”
There was no phone of the year in 2020.
In general I kind of despise a “winner / loser” review style. I try to find who might be the right fit for a gadget, even if that potential audience is REALLY small.
Even for my reluctance to declare “winners”, I’m wrapping up 2020 with a strong feeling that there legitimately was no ONE device that defined mobile computing for consumers.
Instead, this year cemented the idea that consumers should have more choice and more variety to satisfy their specific needs.
Here are some of my thoughts, and some of my favorite experiences, reviewing phones in a strange STRANGE year. Continue reading “There was no phone of the year in 2020!”
