LG's promise and Google's experiments

Sat, 25 Jan 2020 00:30:34 +0000

We have a ton of housecleaning to take care of right off the bat including the Moto RAZR, Whatsapp's dark mode, MWC 2020 and more. Plus, we take a look at LG's implementation of Android 10 on the LG V50 with dual screen. Speaking of dual screens, Microsoft has some thoughts on how to implement dual screens. Google is experimenting with ways to help you use your phone less, and one of our editors wants you to update apps less often. What's up with that?

A Samsung fanboy's wet dream

Sat, 18 Jan 2020 14:00:00 +0000

Fresh off the CES Train, we have some housecleaning to do. We chat about the Escobar Fold, Google hitting a trillion dollar valuation, and in what ways iOS is better than our favorite OS (spoiler alert: not a lot of ways). Our main story is the rumored specifications of the Galaxy S20, especially the S20 Ultra, and it's 120sorta-Hz screen. We take a deeper look at Bluetooth Audio LE and the LC3 codec along with Bluetooth SIG, and Huawei's Google loophole is just delightful.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus Star Wars Edition review

Google > Ring. Snapdragon > Apple A13. 2 Zooms > Zoom.

Sat, 21 Dec 2019 16:07:44 +0000

OnePlus has a concept phone coming to CES and Samsung has a Star Wars phone out now. The Snapdragon 865 finally beat its Apple counterpart - kinda. The New York Times investigated the location data obtained from a data mining company and it's scary AF. Ring security is basically non-existent, and Google wants to climb into bed with them. And finally a smartphone is doing zoom right.

Google Pixel 4 XL review: Untapped potential

Google Pixel 4 Podcast Review: It's so Google

Wed, 23 Oct 2019 14:30:14 +0000

The Google Pixel 4 is a fairly controversial phone. It's got so much great going for it, but it also falls short in a few key areas. Our review calls it the "but" phone, because it has an amazing camera, but it lacks an ultrawide lens. It has remarkable performance, but the battery life is not great. It's really good, but here's a reason why it's not so great. We have both reviewers of the phone - Kris Carlon and David Imel to talk about the Pixel 4 and the Pixel 4 XL!

Huawei Mate 30 Pro review: The forbidden fruit

Huawei Mate 30 Pro Podcast Review: It's Complicated

Fri, 04 Oct 2019 12:00:00 +0000

The Huawei Mate 30 Pro is one of the most gorgeous pieces of hardware to ever come out of the Chinese OEM, or any OEM for that matter. It has stunning hardware, a wonderful camera that works brilliantly in low light. But it's missing the one thing that every phone needs to succeed - the brains. No Google. No Google Play. No apps. No good. But is the phone great enough to stand up without the apps we all want so much? Ryan Thomas-Shaw joins Adam and Jonathan to talk about it.

Google Pixel 3a XL review: Come for the camera, stay for the experience

Pixel 3a XL Podcast Review: Not a Nexus

Sat, 18 May 2019 13:00:00 +0000

Despite comparisons to its old siblings, the Nexus phones, reviewed Dhruv Bhutani thinks this Pixel 3a XL is cut from a different cloth. The software is incredible, as is the camera. In North America, the price is unbeatable. Beyond that part of the world, the phone carries a much less attractive price tag. But there's still a lot to love for this phone, and we're breaking it all down for you.
