Well, I honestly believe there’s a right phone for every single one of you out there and this could be it or it might not be, let’s find out!

Pixel 4a & Google Fi Review! Best Budget Combo for 2020!

The Google Pixel 4a is the biggest smartphone in the smallest form factor, yes almost like the city of Reno, I do have some interesting fear and loathing in Reno past experiences with my college friends but we will talk about that in another time. Pixel 4a features an OLED 5.67 inch screen with 2340×1080 pixels and 3140mAh battery. For performance, Pixel 4a packs a Snapdraon 730G, its raw performance somewhere between a Snapdragon 835 and 845 based on it benchmarks. This is rather similar to somewhere between Galaxy S8 & S9 performance on paper. But don’t let that fool you, the highly-optimized Pixel 4a from Google, maker of Android operating system runs rather faster, and it feels faster than most of other flagships on the market today including my own Galaxy S20 Ultra and OnePlus 8 Pro. I was actually rather amazed how flawless everything ran with no lag.

LG V60 Hands-On Review!

I had the pleasure of trying the LG V60 for a few hours last week in San Francisco and here’s some of my early thoughts/hands-on review of the new LG flagship.  First of all, LG has gone with the “V” series this year as their main flagship and the “G” series may be gone forever(but it may come back).  I really like that LG has gone with the bigger brother “V” series as their flagship as I do prefer their bigger models.

Galaxy Note 10 Plus Review After 2 1/2 Months!

Here’s my full review of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus after using it for last 2 and half months. I got my phone on September 1st 2019 and I am still using it as a daily driver after 2 1/2 months although I have gotten new phones like the Pixel 4 and LG G8X. I think I love this phone too much to switch to another phone although I will keep trying. This is definitely the best big smartphone of the year 2019, one smartphone that does EVERYTHING, nothing else comes close.

Pixel 4 Astrophotography Mode Review! – [Part 1]

The other night, I got to try the Pixel 4 Astro Photography mode for the first time.  As a person who has been taking photos of stars already using manual mode on LG smartphones, the new Astro Photography mode on Pixel 4 proved to be a great way for regular Joes to be able to take photos of stars without fiddling with camera settings.  While it takes me at least 10-20 minutes to setup the manual mode on smartphone cameras to do astrophotography, Pixel 4 allows any user to take photos of stars easily simply by pressing the shutter button.

LG V40 Review – Hidden Advanced Features!

If there’s one reason to buy the LG V40, LG’s latest flagship, it’s ALL about its 5 cameras, the most cameras on a smartphone to date until Samsung copies and launches the Galaxy S10 next year.  With 3 dedicated rear cameras and 2 front cameras, the LG V40 can give you more camera angles from a single smartphone than any other smartphone on the market.  In this review, I really wanted to focus on its 5 cameras, since the LG V40 is really about the cameras along with its hidden advanced features you probably will never use.

Xiaomi Mi8 Review! – Best Budget Smartphone I Ever Bought, WOW!

Here’s my full review of the Xiaomi Mi8. In my opinion, this is the best budget smartphone I have ever bought and perhaps the best smartphone under $450. It’s got the latest Snapdragon 845 processor, 6GB of RAM(or 8GB if you go for the 128GB model), 6.21-inch Super AMOLED screen(that’s bright as any Samsung/LG), fast performance, dual-SIM, and have killer camera(keeps up to Pixel 2 in both daylight/low-light).  If you want to save a few bucks this year on a smartphone that pretty much does everything a flagship does, this is it!  Of course, Pocophone could be even better, I should have full unboxing/review of that also.
