[RAZER PHONE 2 REVIEW]

This is a different sort of Razer Phone 2 review. Because for the past month, I’ve been using the Razer Phone 2 … differently. I’ve read a few books; I’ve made a lot of voice calls; I’ve watched decades-old television shows in glorious SD … and I’ve played a video game or two from roughly the same era. In other words: I’ve used the Razer Phone 2 as a non-gamer. And with one predictable exception, it has delivered. Join me for the MrMobile Razer Phone 2 Review!

The RED Hydrogen One is the first smartphone from RED Digital Cinema, the folks whose cameras have shot films from The Martian to The Hobbit to Transformers. But if you buy it, you’ll have to break the number-one rule of smart spending in mobile tech: buy it for what it is today, not for what it might be tomorrow. Come see why I’m holding on to mine (for better or worse) in MrMobile’s RED Hydrogen One Review!

[ONEPLUS 6T REVIEW PART 1]

“This is a new smartphone. It does most of the things this other phone does. And it costs much less.” For five years, this has been the story of OnePlus – but the OnePlus 6T is different. Because it’s the first OnePlus to be sold by a US carrier, making it available to a whole swath of new consumers who otherwise wouldn’t know the brand exists. And it’s the first OnePlus to be whitelisted by Verizon Wireless for use on its LTE network.

It’s also, infamously, the first OnePlus to ditch the headphone jack –and if you think that means the company will take a break from its habit of inching up the price by a few bucks every generation, think again. Does the resulting bit of compromise fall to the threshold of “settling,” or is the $200 discount from comparably equipped phones enough to preserve OnePlus’s old reputation as a “flagship killer?” Find out in part 1 of the OnePlus 6T Review!

[ASUS ROG PHONE REVIEW PART 1]

As smartphone designs creep ever closer to total iPhone-like homogenization, any manufacturer that bucks the trend is one that makes me sit up and take notice. So when ASUS announced its crazy ROG Phone at Computex in June, I knew I’d be falling over myself to cover it come release. And that day has finally come.

It’s not so much the spec upgrades, like the slightly-speedier Snapdragon processor, that have me stoked for the ROG Phone. It’s the fact that ASUS built it for a specific application – gaming – and didn’t even think about compromising that vision in pursuit of mass appeal. One look the heavily stylized casing design, replete with copper cooling vents, ultrasonic triggers and a glowing Aura logo, tells you all you need to know about why the ROG Phone exists. That’s before you even connect the AeroActive clip-on fan, just one accessory of an entire ecosystem made to guarantee the ROG Phone gives you a mobile gaming experience like no other.

I’ll have to use that whole ecosystem before I decide whether the ROG Phone is worth its base price of $899 (especially in light of the fact that its closest competition is $100 cheaper) … but my early impressions are strong enough that I’m positively giddy about getting the chance to try. Check out Part 1 of my ASUS ROG Phone Review above, and be sure you’re so you don’t miss Part 2 coming in a few weeks!

[ABOUT MRMOBILE’S ASUS ROG PHONE REVIEW PART 1]

MrMobile’s ASUS ROG Phone Review Part 1 was produced following ten days with an ASUS ROG Phone review device provided by ASUS. The device was only tested in a gaming context and entirely in-studio, with no cellular network connection. ROG Phone Review Part 2 will cover those aspects, as well as others (battery life, phone call quality, etc.) omitted from this first look.

[GOOGLE PIXEL 3 REVIEW]

Among Star Trek fans, “Kobayashi Maru” is synonymous with “no-win scenario” … and this year in mobile tech, my Kobayashi Maru is the Pixel 3 review. Because this phone is marred by so much controversy and compromise that phone geeks will flay me for even suggesting it’s worth its asking price … while at the same time, the normal folks at whom the phone is aimed will see a fantastic iPhone XS alternative for $200 less — and for them, the defects I call out may seem barely worth a mention. As usual, reality is somewhere in between. Join me as I try to tease the truth from the trash, in the MrMobile Google Pixel 3 Review!

[HUAWEI MATE 20 PRO HANDS-ON]

True story: Huawei offered –twice– to fly me to London to spend a week with the Mate 20 Pro … and each time I told them “thanks, but October is much too busy.” Then I actually got to see the Mate 20 Pro at an early briefing in New York City – and halfway through the meeting I told them I’d changed my mind. Because when a company builds this much camera capability and this many features into a phone that won’t be sold in the United States … a week spent with it in a market where it *will* be sold is the best way to understand it. (That’s my official answer, anyway. My unofficial one: I think the Mate 20 Pro may have the smartphone camera I’ve been waiting for all my life. I needed to put it to the test.)

Those camera tests will be included in the full Mate 20 Pro review; be sure to subscribe using the link below so you don’t miss it. In the meantime enjoy the early look after a few hours with the phone in this Hands-On, and don’t forget to get Android Central’s take too!

My favorite thing that happens when a company sticks a “2” at the end of a product name? When, in the process of doing that, they correct almost every flaw that plagued the first one. From the Razer debut event in Los Angeles, I’m MrMobile – and this is a first look at the Razer Phone 2!

The Nokia 7.1 isn’t the first smartphone from HMD Global to hit the US market, but it’s the first one you might actually care about.
