Smartphone

REVIEW – Once again, I am excited because one of my favorite smartphone companies has allowed me to review one of their latest phones. I have been a OnePlus fan for quite some time now having reviewed previous versions of their phones. I am sure that you can sense the excitement and anticipation in my […]

REVIEW – I had the pleasure of reviewing the REDMAGIC 8s gaming phone a few years ago, and I was impressed with the sheer power it offered at a surprisingly reasonable price. At that time, I didn’t switch to it for my daily driver because the cameras were poor, and I thought I needed weather

REVIEW—When it comes to Android phones, OnePlus has become one of my favorite brands in the past couple of years. It started with the OnePlus 10 Pro, which I still use as a 24/7 display for my Tempest Weather Station. More recently, I’ve used both the OnePlus Open and OnePlus 12 as my primary cameras

REVIEW – The POCO X7 Smartphone is soon to be released by Xiaomi and may be of interest to our international readers. It has some great qualities, but to my surprise, the review unit turned out to be incompatible with U.S. carriers. It worked on T-Mobile, but seemed to stay on 4G LTE instead of

REVIEW -The NUU B30 Pro 5G phone is a new release from a, -new- brand to me. The phone carries an endorsement as the phone of the FC Dallas soccer team. Does that sway you or do you need me to tell you if the phone is a keeper? I’ll do my job and let

REVIEW – The TCL 50 XL 5G is a new release by TCL that is available at Metro by T-Mobile. It’s free with certain plans or $159 at full price. The company says the phone will eventually be available at other carriers and unlocked at Amazon, but there were no specifics given. One Samsung folding

REVIEW – When the Oukitel WP36 rugged smartphone first came up for review, the 3.5W speaker with a claim of up to 128db loudness really jumped out at me. We always have music playing somewhere in our house, so that sounded like a great feature. What I did not anticipate was the other features of

REVIEW – The OnePlus 12R Smartphone has just been released in North America and Europe. It has specs dangerously close to its more expensive sibling, the OnePlus 12, recently reviewed by Julie, but is less expensive and has a bigger battery. Were any serious corners cut to make this an econo-phone or would a normal

REVIEW – When I switched back to Android late last year, the phone that helped me make that transition was the OnePlus 11, and then the OnePlus Open sealed the deal (at least until I went back to the iPhone, but that’s another story…). The first new phone of 2024 that I’ve had the opportunity

REVIEW – I have been using folding large screen smartphones for a couple of years now. I started with the Samsung Galaxy Fold 3, but in folded mode, it was too cramped so I always had to open it to do anything. The Fold 4 was slightly better, but still was not a great experience

REVIEW – Having recently switched back to Android after a 3-year fling with the iPhone, I’ve been enjoying all that Android has to offer like its many hardware and customization options. However, the most exciting thing about Android for me right now is folding phones. I briefly tried a Samsung Galaxy Fold 5 and sent
