Correction: S21 haptics are excellent, but would be improved by moving actuator location

I previously briefly tried out the S21 phones in a store and made a post saying that they felt weaker than previous models; you can read that post here. I got some feedback from people more familiar with Samsung phones than me and I have since received my S21 Ultra (I got navy so it took a long time). I can now say that the haptics are actually excellent once you increase the vibration intensity in settings. Additionally...

We need a more precise volume controller.

This always happens to me: it's late and I want to listen to some music or watch a video, i lower the volume but it's too low, i manually turn it up but it's too loud. We should be able to have the choice of using the volume level we want, it's not useful to be able to drag the controller if it doesn't have a real purpose besides turning it up or down faster....

Google to be renamed "Premium" in the new year...

While the noscript of this post/rant was made in jest, I wonder how far off from the truth I really am. Like many out there, I too have become mired in the ecosystem that Google has fostered. What once was a simple search engine has become a place where we spend a good amount of not only our time but money as well. We have become increasingly dependent on their services, whether it be the consumption of media they provide or the housing of that which we produce. It is the latter which prompted thi...

We need to talk about being nearly a decade behind the iPhone when it comes to 3rd party camera apps

I've been on this silver bullet hunt since my first Android phone that had a front camera.

In low light, switch to the front camera in a 3rd party app that takes video. Facebook, FB Messenger, Instagram Live, Skype, Snapchat. Notice the smeary dog shit staring back at you. No, not your face (you're a beautiful person!), the 16fps sad excuse for "usable video" coming out of your 2020 or 2021 cutting-edge, likely one thousand dollar device.

I'm an Android die-hard. I'm an enthusiast. A powe...

Thoughts on the Galaxy Z Fold 2 as a first time foldable phone user

Hey guys,

When the first Galaxy Fold was announced a couple of years ago, I was blown away as I wasn't expecting good foldables to come this soon. Then the reviews came and reality set in. I decided to wait for the second generation before buying one and seeing the overwhelmingly positive reviews on the Z Fold 2 made me go ahead and buy one. Here are my thoughts on the Z Fold 2 after having it for a month.

If you'd rather listen/watch, here's a video review. As ...
