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!... Read More | Share it now!

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. Because in a world where it now costs over a thousand smackers to snag the latest and greatest smartphone, the Nokia 7.1 costs $349. But it sure doesn’t look the part. I spent an afternoon with the device during my recent trip to NYC; join me for the MrMobile Nokia 7.1 hands-on!... Read More | Share it now!

The LG V40 ThinQ is the first 5-camera smartphone to hit the U.S. market. Ultra-wide, wide and telephoto lenses combine to give it more versatility than any other smartphone camera … in theory. The real-world experience is somewhat different, but the V40’s real problem is likely to be the price LG wants at release. Join me for the LG V40 Review!... Read More | Share it now!

Every time I shoot a video featuring a battery-electric car, someone in the comments pops up to say “you know, the REAL future is hydrogen cars.” The thing is, to drive a hydrogen fuel cell car you need to live near hydrogen fueling stations … and the closest one to my home in Boston is 2,547 miles away. So when I was in San Francisco last week, I called up the fine folks at Toyota and asked them to put me behind the wheel of the Toyota Mirai (which is Japanese for “future,” by the by). Before I knew, it I was hurtling down the highway in Toyota’s FCV, leaving nothing behind me but water. It’s not the freshest news on the block, but still I thought it was a great opportunity to share some details on how hydrogen cars work, why they’re cool … and why I also think they’re probably not the future....

If you’ve watched even a few YouTube videos featuring a host talking to the camera, then you’ve probably laid eyes on a Blue Yeti microphone. This iconic desktop capsule carried me through four years of podcasts and voiceovers back at Pocketnow, and about the only things I found to complain about were its size and weight. So when Blue announced its smaller and lighter sequel just before the IFA 2018 trade show, I knew what I was using for voiceovers in Berlin. I’m Michael Fisher, and the Blue Yeti Nano might just be your next desktop microphone; this is the MrMobile review.... Read More | Share it now!

Of all the cool gadgets in Star Trek, one of the least-appreciated is the universal translator, which lets the crew of the Enterprise –or Voyager, or Discovery– talk to pretty much anyone through their communicators. So when I heard there was a real-world version called the Travis Touch, I jumped on it faster than you can say “open hailing frequencies.” I wasn’t able to give it the full review treatment, but I did take it to Germany and Sweden (where I found out how bad my Swedish pronunciation is) and I’ve got some thoughts. Join me for the Travis Touch Hands-On, and check out the link to the Indiegogo campaign below if you think a Travis Touch is a good match for you.... Read More | Share it now!
