[FOCALS BY NORTH REVIEW]

What if your smartphone was something you could wear on your face? No, not the creepy, canceled consumer version of Google Glass – but instead the classy, understated Focals by North. These smart glasses are an awkward first step into the future – but the particular future they promise might redefine the way you wear technology.

These Aren’t Your Typical Smartwatches

Posted by

Apple and Samsung don’t just dominate the smartphone market in the US; they also make most of the smartwatches I see on a daily basis. So for this video, I wanted to introduce you to three less-common smartwatches. Whether they’ll be counted among the best smartwatches of 2019 remains to be seen; but each of these is interesting in its own way. Join me for a look at the Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 4G LTE; the Casio ProTrek WSD-F30; and the Garmin MARQ Captain – and be sure to vote in my Smartwatch 2019 Review Poll [in the Community tab on my Channel page] so you can have a say in which of these gets the full review treatment!

Sony Xperia 1 Review: Kind Of A Stretch

[SONY XPERIA 1 REVIEW]

There are two reasons to buy a phone as tall as the Sony Xperia 1. One – you want to watch super-modern 21:9 video in crisp 4K HDR … or Two – you need to film that same kind of video and you don’t want to buy a dedicated camera to do it. If you’re in either of those camps, and you were let down by last year’s RED Hydrogen One, the Sony Xperia 1 might be the phone for you. Speaking as a YouTuber who would shoot every video on a smartphone if he could get away with it … that means the Xperia 1 has my attention right out the gate. And it’s unquestionably the best Sony phone I’ve ever touched (which isn’t the backhanded compliment it might seem). The thing is, though: if you’re not a mobile videographer or a sucker for smartphones that stand out … you can get a phone that fits your needs for much less than the Xperia 1 costs.

Sony Aibo Review: How Much Is That Robot In The Window?

Posted by

In July of 1999, Sony gave tech lovers the perfect pet to kick off life in the new millennium: the first robot dog for the home. “AIBO” stood for Artificial Intelligence roBOt, but when pronounced in Japanese the word also means “buddy, pal or accomplice.” And even though it cost $2100 and was only sold on the internet – again, back in 1999 – Sony sold 5000 Aibos in its first week.

Flash forward exactly 20 years … and the newest Aibo, model ERS-1000, just clomped his way into my home. He’s sophisticated, smart, and so lifelike he’ll wag his way right into your heart – which is exactly why those who buy him should be careful. After all, the last time we talked about social robots, I told you that you shouldn’t buy them. See if Aibo is any different – in the Sony Aibo Review from MrMobile!

How Many Batteries Does It Take To Power A Desert Island?

Posted by

When I found two huge batteries –totaling 440 Wh of power– in my mailbox, I thought that deserved more than your typical battery test. So I packed up every piece of tech I brought with me for my Fourth of July weekend, and then I asked my friendly neighborhood boat captain to give me a ride to a different kind of testing lab: an island that would only give me four hours before it sank beneath the waves. Watch the MrMobile Island Battery Test to see how much luck I had draining these monster batteries before the tide came in!

A Day On A 5G Phone: Fast, But Finicky

[5G IN CHICAGO]

Ever since the 5G hype train kicked into gear my friends at Android Central have been saying the same thing: you should not buy a 5G phone in 2019. The networks aren’t mature enough; the phone selection isn’t broad enough; it’s just too early. Well I found a way to prove them wrong. There are actually a few people who should buy a 5G phone. The thing is … they all pretty much live in a handful of buildings in Chicago. Join me for MrMobile’s 5G Hands-On from the windy city!

The Laptop That Watches You

Posted by

I wanted to try out the Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1 for one reason: it’s the first laptop I’ve used that turns itself on when I walk up to it. But after about two weeks, I’ve discovered that there are many more reasons to put the 7400 on your list of portable PC possibilities … just as long as you’re not fixing for a featherweight (or a free ride). Join me for the MrMobile review of the Laptop That Watches You: the Dell Latitude 7400.

LG Gram 17 Review: Too Light To Be True

[LG GRAM 17 REVIEW]

The last time I used a 17-inch laptop in real life, it was the HP zd8000, a genuine monster I bought when I was still in college. Together with its power adapter and suitcase-sized carrying satchel, the zd8000 weighed a spine-bending twelve pounds when slung across my torso. The LG gram 17’s net weight? A featherweight 2.95 pounds – light enough that everyone I’ve allowed to hold it has responded with the same incredulous reaction: “Noooo.” That makes the LG gram 17 one of the lightest laptops of 2019 … even though it’s also one of the largest!

But how much is too much to pay for the privilege of carrying such a delightful contradiction? Join me for MrMobile’s LG gram 17 Review to find out!
