Ever since I was six years old and watching Inspector Gadget, I’ve longed for a proper “computer book” – and the Lenovo X1 Fold gets closer to that dream than I ever thought possible. Its large folding display is the most rugged and crease-free I’ve ever used, and it works together with a cleverly designed wireless keyboard companion and beautiful leather shell to deliver a laptop experience like no other. Fully deployed, the Lenovo X1 Fold rests on its built-in kickstand to serve as a 13.3” laptop; or, fold the screen in half and slap on the magnetic keyboard for a more compact 7” netbook. Use it in easel mode as a stylus-equipped tablet; and when it’s time to pack it in for the day, it collapses into a footprint no bigger than a hardback novel.

It’s that versatile combination of form factors that gives a “computer book” like the X1 Fold so much potential for those of us who prefer our PCs portable. But leveraging that potential is the job of streamlined software … and the platform Lenovo apparently planned to use for the X1 Fold, Windows 10X, was delayed by Microsoft last year. As a result the X1 Fold ships with Windows 10 Home or Pro – and the apparently rushed implementation of that OS (plus a combination of driver issues, hardware failings and high price tag) ultimately makes this machine the first foldable I can’t recommend … even to those with deep pockets.

Get the details in MrMobile’s Lenovo X1 Fold review, and join me in crossing your fingers for an eventual Windows 10X release for this unique folding-screen PC.

[ABOUT MRMOBILE’S LENOVO X1 FOLD REVIEW]

MrMobile’s Lenovo X1 Fold Review was produced after more than two months of X1 Fold testing – approximately one month with a Fold X1 retail unit purchased by MrMobile, and one month with a review sample sent by Lenovo as a replacement for the former unit.

MrMobile does not produce product reviews sponsored by the manufacturers of those products. Lenovo was given no editorial input, copy approval rights or an early preview of this content.

[SMALL PHONES 2021]

For as long as I have been covering mobile tech, my fellow phone geeks have loudly longed for the return of “the small phone.”

Why? For those of us old enough to remember when the name of the game was making phones as pocketable as possible, nostalgia plays a part, for sure. Then there’s those whose clothing options make pocketability impossible for today’s shin-sized slabs. And rounding it out are those trying to scale back their screen time: I guess the idea is, if your phone is smaller, maybe it’ll force you to be more intentional with the time you spend on it.

So there are good reasons for the comeback the small-smartphone squad constantly calls for. But when I took stock of all the small or smallish mobile phones in my review queue, I became convinced that the small phone as we know it may be dead. And the small phone of the future … is already nearly here. It’s called the clamshell foldable, and in this video I’m going to tell you why I think it’s going to make the iPhone minis and Sony Compacts of the world obsolete.

[SONY XPERIA PRO 5G REVIEW]

Cameras. I use them every day; I rely on them; I even like a few. But there’s a reason I shoot so many photos and videos on phones instead of proper glass: simplicity. To me, the landscape of camera gear is a vast netherworld of overpriced and under-performing products – most notorious among them, external monitors. “Why,” I’ve thought on countless trips to B&H, “can’t I just hook my phone up to my camera, instead of dropping $500 on a thicker, heavier monitor that doesn’t last as long and needs its own set of batteries?”

Well it took a few years, but finally, someone built a smartphone that can pull double-duty as a monitor. Not only that: it also serves as a standalone studio to send 4K footage over 5G … live. The Sony Xperia Pro 5G is the long-awaited companion to the Xperia 1ii I reviewed last summer. I’ve just wrapped up ten days testing it to see if it lives up to its heart-stopping price tag; join me for MrMobile’s Sony Xperia Pro 5G Review!

[SAMSUNG GALAXY S21 ULTRA REVIEW]

Fifteen years ago, when a then-nascent Samsung wanted to upset the status quo, it launched a family of phones bearing the brand name Ultra. Those being the days when form factors were in flux (and phones were more fun) maybe it’s no surprise that Samsung’s 2020 resurrection of the designation fell a little flat. To me, last year’s Galaxy S20 Ultra was too big, too boring, and too blurry … with a camera system whose focus issues wouldn’t be corrected until the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra hit the scene last summer. 

Well, I’ve never been happier to say that we’ve entered a new year – and like clockwork, Samsung is here with a new phone to help kick it off. While the Galaxy S21 Ultra might feature a familiar face, it packs new features that will send some over the moon – and sacrifices that will leave others foaming at the mouth. Join me to see some of the most impressive mobile photography this side of Huawei … and some of the most polarizing feature plucking seen on a Samsung since 2015 – in MrMobile’s Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra Review!

[ASUS ZENBOOK DUO 14 2021 REVIEW]

CORRECTION: At recording time, I was under the impression that my $1299 review unit was the base model. This is incorrect: the ZenBook Duo 2021 will start at $999 in its Core i5 configuration. MrMobile regrets the error.

It was 2019 when I bought my first dual-screen laptop. The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo was focused on creative professionals and so entranced my multitasking soul that I refused to hand it over to Daniel Rubino for the MrMobile/Windows Central collab review we’d planned. In 2020, ASUS improved its two-screen approach and brought it over to the gaming world with the Zephyrus Duo 15, an absolute monster that made it possible for me to play everything from Star Wars Squadrons to Cyberpunk 2077. And for 2021, ASUS is spreading those improvements all across its new laptop lineup – including the ZenBook Duo 14 (2021), a more affordable double display notebook for those of us who like to “stay Mobile.” Join me for the ASUS ZenBook Duo 14 Review, 2021 Edition – and then check out David Cogen’s Real World Test featuring the very same ZenBook Duo 14, at TheUnlockr!

The CZ Smart is the first proper smartwatch from Citizen, a Japanese watchmaker whose eponymous brand just turned 103 years old. Citizen also happens to be the company from which I bought my very first wristwatch, as a fresh-faced seventeen year old on the day after his junior prom. So while it could be said I’ve been waiting twenty years to properly review a timepiece from this company, and it’s always exciting to see a traditional watch-maker dip its toes into the smartwatch space … I’m sorry to say that Citizen’s first effort falls a bit flat. Join me to learn why, in MrMobile’s Citizen CZ Smart Review!

[APPLE AIRPODS MAX REVIEW]

Fun fact: one of the first reviews I ever did as “MrMobile” was for the Bose QC35 noise cancelling headphones. They represented a lot of firsts for me, actually: they were the first ANC headphones I’d ever owned; the first that convinced me I could have enough to say about headphones to actually review them … and the first ones I’d ever spent (what I considered to be) real money on. 

The Bose QC35s cost $350. So when I heard that Apple’s first self-branded headphones, the Airpods Max, cost $200 more than those – I was so incensed I almost skipped them. But then I thought about how many headphones I’d covered in the years since those QC35s, and how few of them truly wowed me anymore. So I bought a pair of Airpods Max in the hopes that maybe they did indeed bring something new to the table that I could talk about in a review. And after seven days of using them I’m deeply disheartened to say … well, “wow” indeed.

Join Michael Fisher for the reasons behind that wow – good and bad – in MrMobile’s Apple Airpods Max Review!

For the past decade, smartphone makers have tried to serve two opposing masters. They want to squeeze as much screen as possible into a phone chassis, while at the same time leaving enough room for the front-facing camera (a feature that’s become all the more important in the Zoom-centric reality of 2020).

Until now, most companies have solved this tug-of-war by carving out space for the camera in the display – first in the form of a notch, and more recently the hole-punch (with some interesting alternatives like pop-up cameras peppered in between). But notches are distracting at best and ugly at worst; pop-up cameras add weight and make repairs harder; and hole punch designs are incompatible with wide-angle cameras.

So the next question pretty much asks itself: why not just build the camera … right into the display? It’s a solution Xiaomi, Oppo and ZTE have all been working on, but only the latter has a product shipping with the technology on store shelves today – and in this video, we’re taking a close look at just how it works! Join Michael Fisher for MrMobile’s Hands-On with the ZTE Axon 20 5G: the first phone with an under-display selfie camera that you can actually buy!
