With about 3 million apps to choose from in the Google Play Store, a little app-choosing guidance never hurts. Y’all have been asking me for nigh on a year to tell you what’s on my phone, so tune in as I run down my top 40 apps, from games to song-streamers to the magic titles that give me those wallpapers you’re also fond of asking after. Be sure to stick around till the end for a special heads-up on the future of MrMobile sponsorships, and hit the links below (if you use an Android phone) to download any of the apps mentioned above!...

Depending on where you get your nerdy news, Google I/O 2017 was the story of a boring company doing important things or an important company doing boring things; either way, much of the coverage from Mountain View bore mentions of mundanity, the sense that the sizzle had fizzled. But Google I/O isn’t *supposed* to be a gadget carnival, and it doesn’t need to wow the masses anymore. At I/O 2017, Google returned to the roots of a dev conference: giving developers more tools to build the future.

One thing you gotta give HTC: it’s not afraid to try new things. So when it needed to follow up its solid 2016 smartphone with something better-suited to mirror-plated 2017, it blended the branding, doubled down on ditching the headphone jack, and traded a dedicated function button … for a little squeeze. I’m MrMobile and I took some time out from Google I/O 2017 to shoot a belated hands-on with the HTC U11. Join me for a squeeze!... Read More | Share it now!

The LG Gram 2017 is the first laptop I’ve tested in a long while … and it’s one of the lightest laptops of 2017. In fact, the LG Gram 2017 is the lightest full laptop I’ve ever tested (Chromebooks and Yoga Books don’t count) – and though it’s a little on the flexy side, the durability that comes with that flexibility makes me a little more forgiving than I’d otherwise be. Join me for MrMobile’s LG Gram 2017 review!... Read More | Share it now!

“Evapolar” is a much nicer name for a product than “swamp cooler,” but that’s essentially what we’ve got in the latest package to arrive at the MrMobile studio. “Swamp cooler” is the colloquial name for “evaporative cooler,” a device that cools air by forcing it to turn water into vapor – and that’s exactly how Evapolar works. What’s cool about Evapolar is that it’s the size of a 4-pack and efficient enough to run on a cellphone power pack; what’s not cool about it is that it doesn’t work in humid environments. Learn about the science behind that limitation – and how much you’ll have to cough up to start frosting up your own little microclimate – in the MrMobile Evapolar Review!...

The BlackBerry KEYone is more than just another anachronistic appeal to nostalgia. It’s the best BlackBerry on shelves today, bearing the best keyboard you can find on an Android phone in 2017. Lest you think I’m damning the BlackBerry KEYone with faint praise, remember that MrMobile values smartphones that stand out from the crowd – sometimes even more than he values phones with great battery life and outstanding build quality. The BlackBerry KEYone has all three of those assets in abundance … but is it enough to make up for its slight software stumbles? Find out in MrMobile’s BlackBerry KEYone Review!...
