Oppo Find X8 Pro Camera Conclusion: Properly Pro?
Oppo Find X8 Pro Camera Review!
It seems MOST phone manufacturers are having to make choices about what corners to cut in an effort to reduce costs. Unfortunately, a LOT of compromises are landing on camera hardware. Which makes the Oppo an interesting beast. It’s a “pro” and not an “ultra”, but arrives with a QUAD camera layout. Does it earn its “pro” title?

Camera Control Fake Buttons Are NOT Better for Phone Photos…
Camera Control “Buttons” are Kinda Stupid.
EVERYONE ELSE WAS WRONG BUT ME!!!
A little trip down memory lane. We’ve already tried this dumb experiment of using a camera shutter button as a zoom rocker. It was a terrible idea. Just because Apple is trying it again with hardware, doesn’t make it any better… Continue reading “Camera Control Fake Buttons Are NOT Better for Phone Photos…”
iQOO 13 Review: Return of a Flagship Killer
Maybe no longer a “killer flagship”, at least not by how we judge cameras…
The iQOO 13 is in the GadgetLab, and it’s my first spin with a Snapdragon 8 Elite. This was the phone I used to test against the Oppo Find X8 Pro in our By The Benchmarks article, and it’s a screamer. Even though it loses every fight I can stage against the Dimensity this year, we should still celebrate a GREAT transition for Snapdragon chips.
The iQOO 13 is billed as a hot-rod performer, and it’s about as close to a gaming phone as we can get, without adding more gamer hardware. I have a LOT of thoughts! Continue reading “iQOO 13 Review: Return of a Flagship Killer”
