The very first time I laid eyes on the Light L16 camera, I knew I had to test it. Sixteen individual 13MP sensors ranging from 28mm to 150mm, laid out in a scattershot pattern without even the pretense of adhering to a grid, festooned with steerable mirrors that wiggled and warbled as they fixed those big mechanical eyes on a subject … it was the perfect mix of oversized smartphone and terrifying Matrix robo-spider. I snapped one up as soon as it went on sale.... Read More | Share it now!

When CrackBerry Kevin first suggested I try out the Bose SoundWear, I thought it looked an awful lot like a toilet seat. But it’s not – nor is it an airline pillow, horseshoe, or boomerang. The Bose SoundWear is a wearable speaker, and while it’ll never replace your headphones, it does complement them in a way that’s more useful than I ever expected. Join me as I try out my first wearable speaker in the MrMobile Bose SoundWear review!... Read More | Share it now!

Eighty years ago, a company called Polaroid sprouted from a garage not far from the current location of the MrMobile studio. The company’s founder soon developed a special polarization technology that was rapidly adopted across a slew of products ranging from desk lamps to sunglasses. That work later led to military contracts including pilot goggles, spy satellites, and a special synthetic quinine for treating malaria in troops serving in tropical regions. While that last bit sounds out of character for a company specializing in optical science, it isn’t: quinine has photosensitive properties that make it useful for photography. Over the next 40 years that’s where Polaroid built its empire: with instant cameras that didn’t need a darkroom to develop their film. ... Read More | Share it now!

What can I tell you about the Razer Phone that you don’t already know? Well how’bout we start with the thing that surprised me the most: it’s not just for gaming, and you don’t need to be a gamer to appreciate it. But you do need to put up with a lot of stuff you probably won’t want to. I’m MrMobile and this is the Razer Phone review.... Read More | Share it now!

Last year, while mourning the loss of my favorite smartwatch maker to a Fitbit acquisition, I was given hope by a wearable called the Ticwatch 2. It featured an innovative operating system and a very clever touch-sensitive strip for controlling it. Well recently, almost 20,000 people pledged about 3.2 million dollars on Kickstarter to bring its sequel to life. The Ticwatch S ditches its predecessor’s proprietary OS for Android Wear, but it also eliminates its single most interesting feature in favor of affordability.

I have had more fun in my week with the ZTE Axon M than with almost any other phone of 2017. The Axon M is more crazy dual-screen clamshell than a true “folding phone,” but whatever you call it, it’s a half-phone, half-tablet that I would love to carry … if its execution lived up to its concept.

In 2017 more so than ever before, taking a keyboard off a BlackBerry makes it just another smartphone. On the other hand, the new BlackBerry Motion packs a huge battery, a larger screen and some of the best security in the Android world – on top of being the first water- and dust-resistant BlackBerry ever. How much does that matter in light of the loss of its halo feature? Depends on how badly you need a physical keyboard. Join MrMobile for a rare comparison video: BlackBerry Motion vs BlackBerry KEYone, aka “A Tale Of Two BlackBerrys.”... Read More | Share it now!

When someone asks me where to get a good deal on a smartphone, “OnePlus” is one of the first words out of my mouth. Since 2013 the company has made impressive phones and sold them at impressively low prices. The OnePlus 5T is the latest in that lineup — and it’s also the most expensive one to date. Find out if it’s worth it in MrMobile’s OnePlus 5T Review, brought to you by Thrifter.... Read More | Share it now!
