[SAMSUNG GALAXY S20 ULTRA HANDS-ON]

You know the worst thing about attending a tech briefing while you have pneumonia? It’s not the shortness of breath or the fact that your voice doesn’t really work (as you can hear in this video). Rather, it’s not knowing whether your vague sense of disappointment is thanks to the foam in your lungs, or the phone in your hand.

Well I’ve had a few days to process my time with the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, and I think I get it now. See, the S20 Ultra is one of the most advanced smartphones in the world, with a laundry list of compelling practical benefits to go with its insane spec sheet. But it comes in a package so dull, so conventional, compared to the trailblazers Samsung is selling right alongside it … that it’s tougher than ever to get excited about it.

Find out if this will be your next smartphone regardless, in MrMobile’s Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra Hands-On!

A Stunning Smartwatch With A Familiar Failing – New Moto 360 Review

When the first Moto 360 was announced back in 2014, it was the only round smartwatch you could buy that ran on Google’s new “Android Wear” platform. So despite some compromises like an ancient Texas Instruments chipset and that so-called “flat tire” on the bottom of the screen, the first Moto 360 sold well. Still, the smartwatch would ultimately only see two generations before Motorola canceled the line, citing a lack of broad appeal.

Flash forward to late 2019: British Columbia-based eBuyNow announces that it’s resurrecting the Moto 360 brand for a new smartwatch (aptly called the “new Moto 360”). I’m skeptical of licensed brand names on the whole, and this product was no exception. But then I got a sample of my own and used it during CES 2020 and for the weeks since … and you know what? This “new Moto 360” hits a lot of the right notes.

Find out if that justifies its high price point – join me for the new Moto 360 review!

You’d Never Guess This Was A Smartwatch: Garmin Vivomove Luxe Review

2019 wasn’t a banner year for the traditional smartwatch. The Apple Watch Series 5 is only a slight improvement over the Series 4; the same mostly goes for Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Active 2; and Google’s WearOS is still very inconsistent … to say the least. But 2019 *was* the year that hybrid watches finally got interesting.

For me, that started with the Fossil Hybrid HR and its innovative e-ink display … and with the Vivomove series, Garmin has taken it to the next level with better looks, better displays … and, higher prices. So how much would you pay to keep your smartwatch’s brains hidden? Find out in the MrMobile Garmin Vivomove Luxe / Vivomove Style Review!

Fossil’s Best Smartwatches Are Beautiful – But Google’s Software Isn’t

You might think the modern smartwatch doesn’t have much in common with its century-old mechanical ancestor, but you’d be wrong. See, as different as they look, all these generation-5 smartwatches from the Fossil Group actually pack the same basic guts – just like a hundred years ago, when manufacturers would put the same mechanical movement into a variety of cases to sell different styles. That’s why the Fossil Group has the widest selection of smartwatches running Google’s WearOS platform, but –watch out for the double edged sword—that same platform is also what makes them tough to recommend. I’ve spent a month with the Diesel On Axial; the Michael Kors Lexington 2; and the Emporio Armani Connected Smartwatch 3 (and four months with Fossil’s own Carlyle HR). Join me for a MrMobile roundup review!

[THE TRUTH ABOUT T-MOBILE 5G]

For the third year running, Qualcomm flew me to Hawaii and put me up for the annual Snapdragon Summit, where for the third year running, the next generation smartphone and laptop chips were announced. Also on site: a parade of executives proclaiming (yet again) that “5G is here!”

But this year is different … because it’s actually true.

On December 6th, T-Mobile made it official, by flipping the switch on a nationwide deployment of 5G that covers 200 million people. But what does that really mean, and more importantly, should you care? I took a OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition for a Maui test drive on T-Mobile 5G to find out!
