Moto Z2 Force Review

Posted by

The Moto Z2 Force should be the best phone Motorola has ever released – and with its unbreakable screen, powerful internals and excellent camera, it comes close. But elsewhere, the Moto Z2 Force bears the unmistakable scars of cost-cutting: a smaller battery; an absent headphone jack; no StyleShell or 30W Turbo Charger in the box. And while those cut corners might be acceptable on a discount smartphone, they’re awful tough to swallow on a $720 “flagship.” Join MrMobile for the Moto Z2 Force review to find out why he’d rather save some money and get the Z2 Play instead!...

BlackBerry KEYone Special Edition: Hands-On With The “Vader Berry”

Posted by

Normally, a new color option and a minor spec bump aren’t newsworthy enough for a hands-on video. But the BlackBerry KEYone Special Edition (or, if you want to be all official about things, the “Limited Edition KEYone Mercury Black Device by BlackBerry made by Optiemus Infracom”) is noteworthy for more than a new paint job. For one thing, the special-edition KEYone improves on the base model in RAM and internal storage, two areas it was especially lacking. And for another, it’s said to be assembled by an entirely different company. Of course, there’s more to the story, so click on through for MrMobile’s BlackBerry KEYone Special Edition hands-on!...

Sony XZ Premium Review: Clock Stopper

Posted by

The Sony Xperia XZ Premium is the first Sony smartphone to hit MrMobile’s review roster, and it’s not playing around. Cutting-edge silicon and a 4K display crammed into an ostentatious and water-resistant mirrored chassis means the XZ Premium makes quite a splash the moment you open the box. But it’s only when you fire up the XZ Premium’s super slow motion camera and shoot your first video at an absurd 960 fps that you truly understand what a monster this smartphone really is.

Moto Z2 Force Edition Hands On

Posted by

For the fifth year running, Motorola’s spicing up the summer with a smartphone that’s not afraid to stand out – but this year, the bombastic brand name feels a bit … “Forced.” I’m MrMobile and I went hands-on with the Moto Z2 Force Edition and the latest Moto Mod, the Moto 360 Camera. This is a quick look.... Read More | Share it now!

KaliPAK 601 Review: Unlimited Power

Posted by

The KaliPAK 601 is like no battery pack you’ve ever seen. Instead of fitting in your pocket or purse, it comes with a shoulder strap — because it’s a portable generator weighing in at 14 lbs and packing a staggering capacity of 558 Wh. I call the KaliPAK 601 a “generator” because it’s more than just a lithium-ion battery; nestled within the folds of this nuclear suitcase are a series of solar panels designed to let you live completely off the grid (for a while, at least). And all Kalisaya asks for the privilege of carrying this beast is … well, a lot of money. But, in the context of outdoor tech in 2017, not an unreasonable amount. Join me for the MrMobile review of the KaliPAK 601!... Read More | Share it now!

Casio ProTrek Smart Review

Posted by

Casio gets a lot more attention than some other watchmakers on the MrMobile channel, and that’s because it’s one of the few companies doing something different with Android Wear. Last year I *reviewed* the company’s feature-packed but pricey WSD-F10 outdoor smartwatch, and this summer’s sequel has ditched the clunky model number for a (slightly) streamlined brand name. ...
