It’s worth checking in periodically. As my channel evolves and shifts over time, it seems some folks might miss what the goal is here.
To begin, I believe disclosing explicit bias is critical to fair reviewing. No human reviewer is a truly objective machine. There is no such thing as objectivity. Full stop.
I believe a review needs context. If we’re not sure where a reviewer is coming from, then we lack a critical perspective to understand why a reviewer might grade certain aspects of a phone the way they do.
I laid my cards on the table a couple years back, and I’m happy that basically everything I talked about in my “BIAS” video still pretty much holds true today.
Now you know where I’m coming from, and what I value.
Since then however, this conversation has grown more concerning. The issues I talk about at the tail end of that video seem to be getting worse, not better. Over 2019, a major focus for my channel has been to point out media literacy issues which I believe contribute to some disturbing trends in consumer electronics.

I naturally have a bit of a contrarian streak, and I enjoy stirring the pot for fun debates.

With a handful of small compromises, this phone is shaping up to be the top option for productivity and multi-asking, while offering amazing features for content creation and gaming.
Very few phones can really do it all. The V60 is on that list. Continue reading “LG V60 ThinQ Review: It’s Big.”

How DO cameras work?
As I’ve been talking about the Galaxy S20 and LG V60, people seem surprised by some of the performance I’ve been describing.
We might complain about compromises on one phone, but how do those changes compare to the competition?
How closely should we examine marketing claims? Should popular manufacturers be graded on a curve JUST because they’re popular? Let’s take a look at the Galaxy S20’s spec sheet here…
