How to Stop Telemarketer Calls Once and For All (Video)

I get a lot of telemarketer calls. So many, in fact, I’ve contemplated changing my number just to try and get it under control–it’s that bad. So in search of a better option to help stop telemarketer calls, I think I came up with a way to limit them that, so far, seems to be doing pretty well. Now, you can, and should, use your phone’s built-in blocking feature. You can tap and hold on a phone number you know is a spam caller in the call log and tap block on most devices but the issue with this is […]

Camera Comparison: Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus vs S8 vs S8 Plus vs Note8 (Video)

Continuing with the camera tests, here we have the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus compared to its own brethren: the Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8 Plus, Galaxy Note8. I was curious if the S9 Plus has that much better of a camera to justify an upgrade, or if you should keep your S8 Plus, etc. To do this test, I took the same photo on each of the devices and then lined them up and zoomed in to be able to compare them. Here’s how it went. If you want to check the photos yourself, you can download them from below and

Battery Test: Razer Phone vs Mate 10 Pro vs OnePlus 5T vs Essential vs Note8 vs Pixel 2XL vs iPhone X (Video)

Another experiment today, this time I wanted to see how the Razer Phone held up to the other top flagships in terms of battery life. So to test this, I filmed a time-lapse of the Razer phone playing the same Nyan cat video on YouTube and on the same wifi network as all the other device I had in my previous flagship battery test video, cropped it into the video (replacing the worst performer from that video, the V30), and timed it so it was lined up with the rest of them and let them all run with timers. Here’s

Huawei P20 Complete Walkthrough (Video)

Now, for me, the P20 Pro with its 3 Leica camera setup is more interesting but Huawei also launched a smaller, baby brother version called the Huawei P20. And, honestly, because it’s very similar and loses a few features but also a chunk of the price, it is probably still worth a look for some people. So, because Huawei was kind enough to send me a P20, I figured I’d do a complete walkthrough for you guys. If you aren’t familiar, a complete walkthrough on this channel is when I try and go through as many features as I can

Battery Test: Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus vs S8 vs S8 Plus vs Note8 (Video)

Another experiment with the Galaxy S9 Plus. This time I wanted to see how the battery held up against its brethren. Namely, the Galaxy Note8, Galaxy S8 Plus, and Galaxy S8.

Intelligent Scan (Galaxy S9) vs Face ID (iPhone X) (Video)

Now that the iPhone X started to make face unlock a bit more mainstream other manufacturers are all getting on board with, not adding facial unlocking, which most have had for some time, but with marketing the feature upfront now and coming up with better ways of implementing it. Samsung recently launched their Galaxy S9 and S9+ and with it “Intelligent Scan” which isn’t so much a new tech as it is a combination of their existing Iris Scan (which scans your eyes for authentication) and then defaults to their facial recognition if that isn’t available–all within milliseconds. But, as

How to Update to Android P Right Now (Video)

There’s a new version of Android out called Android P (my money is on it being named Peppermint when it’s released to the public, for the record) and Google has released the developer previews. If you aren’t familiar, the developer previews are really meant for developers to test out their apps on the latest version of Android in order to make sure it works, maybe integrate new features, etc. but it’s also what people like us (see: nerds) like to install in order to test out and play around with new features before they are released. Now, it goes without
