Time for yet another Galaxy S9 experiment of sorts. In this video, let’s see how the Galaxy S9 Plus’ camera stacks up against the reigning champs of the iPhone X, Pixel 2 XL, and Note8. For this, I wandered all over NYC and managed to get the same shots on […]
Google has finally started rolling out their new Google Home feature that allows you to call someone. As in, actually call their real cell phone, not just ring their Google Home app if they happen to have one installed. The feature only works in you are in the US or
Voice assistants are pretty convenient. You can ask them the weather when you get up in the morning, have them set timers, even put them into infinite loops for your own entertainment, but despite these things, they definitely have a limited number of commands you can issue. Now, short of
Whenever you say the wake word for either Alexa or Google Home, the devices don’t just listen to what you’re saying after, they record it and upload it to the cloud in order to do their magic. Personally, I don’t have too much of an issue with this myself, but
OK, part two of my series on putting the top 2017 phones to the test (if you haven’t seen the first one, check it out at the link below when you’re done here). Basically, though, I’m taking the best phones of 2017 and putting them side by side in some
If you’re not going to buy a Pixel 2 but are still slightly feeling the sting of jealousy at how clean the software looks on the new devices sold by Google themselves, here’s a quick video on how to get all of that stock, slick Google software on whatever Android
Another major tech event, another bulleted list for you guys so you don’t need to watch the full keynote. This time, we have Google and their Oct 4th event, the sequel event to where Google Home was announced along with the Pixel and Pixel XL. We already know a sequel
Apple has implemented yet another feature in iOS 11 to disrupt advertising. This time, they have added a feature that stops third-party cookies from being stored on your device for more than 24 hours. What this means as a user is that those ads that are following you around about
I personally love change. Traveling to countries I’ve never been to, changing out my tech like a bad habit, I even love moving apartments (not the process, more the result). In my world, change is good. Something similar happens with my phone and other tech. I swap launchers, icon packs,
During the Eclipse today, Google invited some people to the 14th Street Park in Chelsea to watch and mentioned “music, drinks and a surprise or two” in the invite. Turns out that surprise was a lot of Oreos. Which I was super excited about, of course, but turns out they
There’s always been this rivalry between the Amazon and Google’s respective voice assistant devices. And it makes sense: both do similar things, answer questions, are meant to live in similar spots in your house, etc. Now though, Amazon recently launched their latest device in their Echo series of voice assistants,
If you’re feeling a bit impatient, and can’t wait to start messing around with Android O and happen to have a Pixel or Nexus phone, then you’re in luck. Google released the beta alongside Google I/O for any Pixel or Nexus users that might want to check it out. Now,
SKYNET. FREAKING SKYNET. Sorry, every time I see one of these articles, images of the Terminator run through my head as I’m sure they do a lot of yours. I digress, though. Regardless of whether the push into AI is one day going to kill us all, it is an
Need to unroot your Pixel or Pixel XL? Maybe you’ve taken rooting too far and now need a clean slate? Maybe you need to sell the phone? Either way, it’s pretty easy to get it all back to stock. Thanks to Google providing us with the firmware on their own
The Pixel and Pixel XL are not the easiest to root. Google has added a lot of security to the system files and, long story short, developers have had to cleverly come up with a systemless root method (which is way harder than it sounds). On top of this, Google removed
