Moto Z4 Review: Is This The Moto Z “4” U?

Posted by

Is anyone excited for the latest modular phone from Motorola? I still think the concept is an intriguing one … and the addition of a 5G Moto Mod to the mix certainly spices things up. But to me, it still doesn’t make much sense to buy the Moto Z4 unless you’re already sold on the modular lifestyle … or you’re on Verizon Wireless. Join me for the Moto Z4 Review!

Love At First Listen: B&O H9i Review

Posted by

For most of the past year I’ve been editing YouTube videos with the help of the Sony XM3 headphones. Before that, it was the QC35s from Bose. But when I forgot both sets of those Bluetooth headphones at Mobile World Congress this past February, my colleague Derek Kessler lent me his Bang & Olufsen H9is … and I finally realized the level of sound quality I’d been missing. Join me for the B&O H9i Review!

Lenovo Smart Clock Review: Your Voice Is The Snooze Button

Posted by

Typical alarm clock from Walmart: about $12.

Lenovo Smart Clock with Google Assistant: $79.

Being able to shout “STOP!” at your alarm clock at 7am to snooze it: priceless.

The Lenovo Smart Clock is like a Google Home Mini, mashed together with a smartphone screen from 2010, inside a box covered in carpet. It does almost everything a Google Home Mini can do, but falls well short of the functionality of something like a Nest Home Hub – and that shortfall is intentional. Find out who this thing is for (and see what it’s like to make a phone call from an alarm clock) in MrMobile’s Lenovo Smart Clock Review!

5 Weird and Wonderful Wireless Chargers

Posted by

It’s slow and sometimes finicky, but wireless charging can also be really convenient — if you buy the right kinds of chargers. So today, I wanted to show off some of the wireless chargers I’ve been using; from the Qi plate hiding behind a photo frame to the wireless coil embedded in a portable planner, all are weird and/or wonderful.

[DJI OSMO ACTION FIRST LOOK]

I’ve been using GoPro cameras to help make YouTube videos for almost a decade, and I love them. But one particular frustration has persisted for all that time – and it took this camera to correct it. It’s the DJI Osmo Action, and it’s the best GoPro competitor I’ve used.

Google Pixel 3a: This Changes Everything

Posted by

Sponsored by dbrand. Get your Pixel 3a skins here: https://dbrand.com/mrmobile-3a

[GOOGLE PIXEL 3A FIRST IMPRESSIONS]

The new Google Pixel 3a was announced today at Google I/O 2019, and I think it’s a turning point for smartphones in the U.S. See, while my fellow phone geeks know what a Pixel is and why it’s important … the majority of regular folks don’t. Because it doesn’t matter how great it is to have guaranteed software updates, or a camera that kicks out the most striking photos – if the phone is only sold on one carrier, at the same price as iPhones and Galaxy smartphones with much more eye-catching design, people aren’t going to buy the thing. When I was building this video, the seven-month-old Pixel 3 was on sale for 200 dollars off … but even so, it started at $599.

With the Pixel 3a, Google is changing the game. The camera is nearly identical to that of the Pixel 3, right down to the sensor. The software is the same too, including the squeeze-shortcut for Google Assistant and the guaranteed three years of updates. The phone comes in two sizes just like before. But instead of being available only on Verizon or Google Fi, the Pixel 3a will hit the shelves of almost every US carrier … and it will start at $399. That’s just over half the price of the cheapest Samsung Galaxy S10, over a hundred dollars cheaper than the OnePlus 6T. If it delivers on its promises, the Pixel 3a will become the new go-to for Android users on a budget. Check out the Pixel 3a hands-on from Google I/O 2019!
