[NOKIA 9 PUREVIEW REVIEW]

Nokia has always reserved the name “PureView” for phones that push the boundaries of photography. When it launched in 2012, the original 808 PureView packed a then-giant 41-megapixel sensor that made digital zoom useful for the first time. And the PureView Lumia phones that followed spent years just slaying everyone else when it came to low light photos, while also introducing Optical Image Stabilization to the mainstream.

The newest PureView comes from a new Nokia, and it tackles a new angle. This is the Nokia 9 PureView. Its mission: to bring some of the depth and dynamic range of professional still cameras to the smartphone world, without the cost and the bulk. When it succeeds, it produces photographs that ooze character, with an authenticity you won’t get from any other phone. But just like you don’t get money for nothin’… you don’t get these clicks for free. Join me for the Nokia 9 PureView review!

[ABOUT THIS VIDEO]

MrMobile’s Nokia 9 PureView review was produced following 18 days with a Nokia 9 PureView review device provided by HMD Global. The device was running build number 00WW_4_19A and received one software update during the review process. A second update is promised to address the camera sluggishness and crashing issues, but was not delivered by presstime.

[DJI OSMO POCKET REVIEW]

Fun fact: I started my first YouTube Channel with my Dad over a decade ago [http://youtube.com/rapidnadion] and for those first few years we built it mainly on the back of cameras like the Flip Video. In a world before quality smartphone cameras (and before Cisco came along to purchase and then discontinue the Flip product line) it was little camcorders like the Flip Video that helped wean people off videotapes and onto, well, YouTube. Flash forward to 2019 and DJI has blended the old Flip Video concept with the modern action camera (and a heaping helping of drone-derived gyro stabilization) to produce the DJI Osmo Pocket. It’s an adorable and well-equipped little camcorder … but in 2019, does anyone need it?

How Jibo The Robot Succeeded – By Dying

Posted by

The long, slow death of Jibo the social robot (and the company that bore his name) is a tale fraught with practical lessons, from the fallibility of cloud computing to the dangers of crowdfunding. But while Jibo might ultimately have been defeated by Amazon Echo and Google Home, he was envisioned for a purpose more profound than to play music and tell you the forecast. Jibo was always meant to become a part of the family. And the strongest proof of how well he succeeded at that … is how much it hurts to say goodbye.

[ABOUT THIS VIDEO]

“Jibo’s Last Dance” / RIP Jibo was produced following nine months with a Jibo robot review sample provided to MrMobile by the now-defunct Jibo, Inc.

Comment was sought, but not received, from Dr. Cynthia Breazeal at the MIT Personal Robots Group, as well as a member of the executive board at SQN Venture Partners.

The Keyboard Phone Is Back (Again): Hands-On With The F(x)tec Pro 1

Posted by

If you thought the only way to get a high-end smartphone with a keyboard was to buy a BlackBerry, you were right – until now. London-based F(x)tec aims to bring back the best of yesterday’s technology, and its first smartphone, the Pro1, does that with a modern twist. The old: a five-row, 64-key QWERTY keyboard and a sliding hinge that props up the screen at an ergonomic 155 degrees. The new: Android Pie on a 6-inch AMOLED. The 😬: a two-generations-old Snapdragon 835 processor and a price starting “around $649.” The F(x)tec Pro1 is up for pre-order now, with expected shipping in July. Join me for a Pro 1 hands-on from MWC 2019 in Barcelona!

Huawei Mate X Hands-On: The Folding Phone Is The Future

Posted by

Seeing a folding phone from a distance is, at first, a flurry of confusion. It just doesn’t seem possible that a large tablet can be transformed into a small rectangular smartphone by literally *folding it in half.* And while holding it in your own hands should convince you that it’s a reality, it’s still somehow easier to believe that your senses are lying to you. But the Huawei Mate X is a very real product that you’ll soon be able to buy (for a very high price) … and if it delivers on even half its potential, it might just change smartphones as we know them. Join me for a hands-on with the Huawei Mate X – MrMobile’s Best of MWC 2019 Award winner!

The LG G8 Can See Your Blood, But Doesn’t Stir The Heart

Posted by

LG is the phone company that tries new things. It popularized the ultra-wide-angle camera; it offered replaceable batteries when others had phased them out; it even made a whole line of phones for YouTubers. So I shouldn’t be surprised that LG built a phone that works on weird wizard magic. But I kind of am. And I kind of think it was a mistake.

Could This Be The Best Camera Phone Of 2019?

Posted by

Two years ago, a Finnish company called HMD Global set up shop across the street from the old Nokia headquarters to resurrect one of the world’s most famous cellphone brands. Around the same time, an American company called Light built a crazy camera using multiple sensors to coax DSLR-like performance out of a smaller package. Today, these two companies have come together to produce an ambitious photography-focused smartphone. These are my first impressions from an afternoon with the Nokia 9 PureView.

Galaxy S10 Hands On: No Surprises, No Compromises

Posted by

You heard it a lot in 2018: less expensive smartphones are getting so capable that you don’t need to spend $999, $899 or even $749 for a great product. But those prices are exactly what Samsung will charge you to take home its brand-new Galaxy S10+, Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10e. I spent an hour with all three new Galaxy S10 devices –plus a bonus 5G version– before release … and I came away thinking that the price might actually be just right. At first glance, the Galaxy S10 line is a family of phones with almost no compromises.
