So help me I did a react video... https://somegadgetguy.com/b/3yP
I'm a huge fan of the PetaPixel podcast, but I feel a lot of photography enthusiasts have a HUGE blindspot when it comes to mobile cameras. Following the release of the Galaxy S24, I had a lot of thoughts on THEIR thoughts about Samsung's new phone...
I'm reviewing an inexpensive laptop from one of those super low cost budget PC brands, and yeah, the frame is generic, and the screen is just "good", and the sides are a bit creaky, but damned if I don't love how easy it is to pop open.
10 standard screws and I can replace almost everything on the inside of this thing...
OnePlus is bringing some price disrupting tech to their earbuds, and the Buds 3 might be a better fit for you than the more expensive Buds 2 Pro released last year!
American friends, you have limited smartphone brand options in your country, give a chance to lesser known companies (at least lesser known up there)!!
It's a STUNNING return to form. The OnePlus 12R is a proper "flagship killer" for North America. https://somegadgetguy.com/b/3y7
It's a price-to-performance that Samsung and Apple really have no answer for...

Vivo X100 Pro review is finally here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-WW0tVFmsk
It's one of the most brutally competitive phones I've reviewed in a while, and might take the crown as the most powerful phone of the year.
So... Why haven't I been talking about it more?
What's going on with the OnePlus 12 camera?
I've gotten a number of questions from folks concerned about the new camera sensor in the OnePlus 12, and how it might be different from the OnePlus Open. Is OnePlus trying to pull a fast one? Should folks expect poorer camera performance on the less expensive phone?
Why did Sony give these sensors different names?
I usually do a "One Year Upgrade" video comparing a new phone to the previous, but that really wasn't a fair fight for the OnePlus 11... https://youtu.be/vayYP5F0YDE

Give us a share! The podcast is live, and this week we're going wherever the chat takes us. It's been a CRAZY BUSY start for us tech nerds in 2024. This first month has been a constant march through new phones, mixed reality headsets, and tech politics. What do YOU think was the biggest tech story this month?
Smartphones haven't "plateaued". Samsung and Apple have plateaued.
Reviewers just too nervous to call those companies out directly and piss off the PR reps.
I believe this might be the best premium phone of the year in North America. It's a great return to form for a company that consistently undercuts Samsung and Apple, offering top tier tech.
Never EVER invest in a platform. The platform stays in-between you and your audience, and will change their algorithms on a dime to court short term profits, then hold your audience as ransom.
A little snark on my part, but also a genuine thing I'm curious about.
We've been hearing how Apple will do AR and VR right for over 11 years now from the tech press. A tech press that has largely downplayed every "face computer" released since Google Glass, while Apple has delivered NOTHING in this space for over a decade of journalist hype.
This is a pocket industry of people that have not participated or contributed much to the evolution of XR headsets.
Now that many of them are trying to jump on the Vision Pro hype train, monetizing that Apple review traffic, do we think those tech journos are really going to stick with Mixed Reality?
We've been hearing for years that only Apple can "save VR". Do we think Apple can keep their own hype journalists using it once the topic isn't trending anymore?
I hate sounding like the old guy in the room when I say things like "phone design used to be more fun". I mean, I AM the old guy in the room, but I hate SOUNDING like the old guy complaining about new tech.
Frosted gradients. Laser etched glossy. Bold primary color polycarb. Metal and leather. Different form factors and features... Sigh...
