Pixel 5 Review by HighOnAndroid!

Google has released their latest Pixel 5 Android smartphone, a 6-inch 2340×1080 resolution OLED display with 90Hz of refresh rate. The Pixel 5 features Snapdragon 765G processor, 128GB of internal storage with UFS 2.1, 8 gigs of RAM, 12.2MP main camera, 16MP super-wide angle camera, rear fingerprint sensor, and 4080mAh battery with support for fast charging at 18 watts with USB PD 2.0, and ships with latest Android 11. While the Pixel 5 has excellent long battery life and one of the best photo capabilities on a smartphone today, is it right for you? 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!

Xiaomi Mi 9 Review w/ CrDroid GSI Android 10 ROM! 0

Xiaomi Mi 9 Review w/ CrDroid GSI Android 10 ROM!

Here’s my quick review of Xiaomi Mi 9 running CrDroid GSI Android 10 ROM. Really fast performance, excellent battery life, and Magisk SafetyNet check passes with working Google Pay. If you want a really good old phone, I think Xiaomi Mi 9 is a great choice if you install a GSI ROM like this. My current setup here runs waaay faster than my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra w/ Samsung stock firmware. If you want pure Google experience w/ low-cost hardware, Xiaomi phones are where it’s at since they allow you to fully unlock the bootloader and the stock MIUI firmware is nearly 100% compatible with Android AOSP.

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.

Havoc ROM Review!

Havoc ROM has an awesome charging animation that shows you real-time charging current, voltage, and temperature of your Android smartphone. This is especially great for checking if your phone is fast charging using Quick Charge or DASH.
