Sacrifice Boulevard – Fan Edition or Flagship?

When choosing a budget or mid-range phone over a flagship, it’s often Sacrifice Boulevard when you look at the specs sheet. Because in order to make it a budget or mid-range product, it’ll cut corners – those ‘sacrifices‘ – in order to also cut the price. My ownership of the base Galaxy S21 ‘flagship’ is…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 30 – the final four becomes the final two

Moto G30 vs Galaxy S21 Here we are, then. The Final Four becomes the Final Two. I’ve said goodbye to the Pixel 4a and Pixel 5, and now I’m left with just the Motorola Moto G30 and Samsung Galaxy S21 5G. This isn’t going to be an easy choice, but it’s the one I’ve been…

My Next Phone, 2021: The Final Four (Chapter 4 ‐ Galaxy S21)

Right. I’ve now posted about the Moto G30, the Pixel 4a, and the Pixel 5. I’ve considered everything that is relevant to me, and have decided that the Pixel 4a and Pixel 5 are sadly no longer in the running. That means it’s now between the Moto G30 and Galaxy S21 – the final four…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 14 – Xperia 5 II, Pixel 4a, Pixel 5, Galaxy S20
In my previous blog, I explored the Xperia 5 II in detail, but now I think I’m ready to make a decision. Thing is, this could go one of 4 ways, and I’m not quite sure which… yet. Samsung Galaxy S20 Let me just say, this is the perfect new phone for me. It has…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 12 – Am I an Xperian? (1/2)
When the Sony Xperia 1 II launched earlier this year, I was hyped. It was a flagship phone, with the camera spec sheet I wanted, the 3.5mm headphone port made a return (after being missing on 2019’s Sony Xperia 1), & had the unique 21:9 aspect ratio that set Sony apart from its competitors. The…

iOS 14 Review: Good Effort, But Confusing Additions Let It Down
I recently installed iOS 14 on my iPhone 6S, and have now been using the OS about 2 months. While I think I’ve already ruled out new iPhone’s as my Next Phone, I’m still interested to see what Apple has done to their mobile operating system. So, without further ado, here’s my take on the…

My Next Phone, 2021: Part 10 – Samsung One UI features I love
A slight detour for this post. While I’ve ruled out most of the budget or mid-range Samsung’s, due to the enormous size of their screens, the S20 is still a possibility, and retains many of the features I’ve come to love since 2016. The only thing is, admittedly, I’ve been rather vague on those details…
