A Eulogy for the Surface Duo 2: How Microsoft Broke My Heart...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sebu079ExoUThe last update has arrived for the Microsoft Surface Duo 2. After two years, and only ONE proper OS update, Microsoft is finished supporting this incredible dual display device.
I felt like taking some time to talk about experiments and competition. It’s sad that we dont have more experiments to play with…

As a reviewer in the USA, it just makes me sad that we dont get competition like this here.
Still, I have to wonder, while Xiaomi puts out SO many different models and variants, maybe it's time Xiaomi streamlined their offerings a bit?#bbtg #android #xiaomi #smartphone #smartphones #video #review #youtube

Patreon Exclusive! https://www.patreon.com/posts/pixel-9-pro-xl-112445223
The Pixel 9 Pro XL is the best Pixel camera experience Google currently offers.
However, as prices have climbed, and the Pixel directly competes against the most expensive options from other brands, does the 9 Pro XL still deliver the same photography charm as previous Pixels?I was speed-running through some of the features that are almost exactly the same as the Pixel 8 Pro, and I still managed to clock in 26 minutes of analysis here...

https://somegadgetguy.com/b/4AJAnandtech Ends, OpenAI Bailout, California Kill Switch, Smartphones are Dying
California has a new AI law, but it might not be what we really need. OpenAI is in talks to raise more funding. Starlink is keeping Twitter alive in Brazil. We say goodbye to AnandTech.
And can we have a chat about phones? What's going on with phones?

Edifier Stax S5 Planar Magnetic Bluetooth Headphone Review: Properly Audiophile
https://somegadgetguy.com/b/4ABThey're pricey, but they're fantastic.
I love how a planar driver produces sound, and I'm excited to see more and more consumer focused options with closed back designs.
Edifier lacks ONE feature for broad consumer adoption, but we can't fault the sound quality here.

Asus RT-AX57 GO Portable Router Review!
https://somegadgetguy.com/b/4A8It’s one of those gadgets that seems kinda “meh” when you read through the press release, but then the more you use it, the cooler it gets.

Sure. We can show the Pixel 9 Pro's mediocre GeekBench scores, but what does that MEAN for real world performance?

Write up on Patreon!
Comparing the Pixel 9 Pro XL to other premium options from Samsung, OnePlus, and Vivo! Comparing the Tensor G4 against the Tensor G3 and the top chips from Qualcomm and MediaTek.
Real world performance tests like video editing, podcast mixing, document and file compression, and photo editing.
And just for good measure, I also compared the Pixel 9 Pro XL to an almost three-year-old Xiaomi Ultra. Is it embarrassing that the older phone put up a really good fight?#tech #technology #technews #geek #bbtg #google #android #pixel9proxl #review #patreon

Pixel 9 Pro XL in the GadgetLab! This is NOT a Gift from Google or part of #TeamPixel. According to Google I'm NOT a reviewer. So all I can say publicly about the Pixel is that it feels nice in the hand. It feels almost exactly like an iPhone. So I guess that's good. All my actual coverage will be on https://Patreon.com/somegadgetguy.
Nothing else will be published on YouTube or other social media platforms. I wouldn't want to upset Google's influencer marketing efforts with my honest and earnest opinions.

Asking a legit question, and curious what folks thoughts are. Phones with a hinge that bend and fold, we’ve had them for several years now.
However, they haven’t reached much market share, and aren’t expected to be that popular over the next five years.Is the folding phone done?

OnePlus Buds Pro 3 Review! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/49g
These aren't "nice for the price". They're easily some of the best consumer buds of the year.
