The Best Battery Life Phone of 2017 (Surprising Results) (Video)

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 scientific, not really that scientific, tests. Today’s test is battery life. So for this test, I picked the phones that in my own personal use case have the best chance of winning this and put them against one another. This means that any of these phones are already really good […]

Why Windows 10S is Just What Windows Needs (Video)

Windows 10S: faster, better battery life, and limited to Microsoft Store only apps. That last part doesn’t sound good but wait. Since it’s only store apps allowed they are vetted and optimized, and more importantly, are packaged in a way that they can’t affect Windows startup and are sandboxed from the rest of the system, much like MacOS. This is in comparison to regular exe programs that can basically do anything they want to your PC (and hence the for a lot more anti-virus software on a PC, etc.). Because they can’t affect the system’s registry and use a virtual

How to Use Drop In on the Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, & Echo Show

I first used drop in on the Amazon Echo Show when I was having a party and had to run out while people were still there to get some things we needed. When I got to the grocery store, I decided to test it out and see how everyone in the party reacted. I opened the Alexa app on my phone and dropped into the Echo Show in my kitchen, instantly opening up a video call with some of my friends who visibly jumped at the abrupt sight of my face holding a few limes in my hands. “Is this all we

How to Download Other People’s Instagram Stories (iOS/Android)

So I’m not sure I can think of a why you’d want to download someone else’s story necessarily. Maybe you’re a big fan of someone and want a keepsake? I don’t know. But I did think it was super interesting that you even could save someone’s story so figured I’d do a quick tutorial on how to do that for anyone who has a reason to or just wants to see how it’s done.

Samsung’s “The Wall” TV & Their New 8K Upscaling TV (Video)

Here we go with another quick and dirty CES video for you guys. Samsung announced a couple of TVs that were interesting. The first, called The Wall, because it is the size of the average wall in an American household apparently, is a massive 146″ flat TV. It’s so big, that you can even make it display a wall with shelves and a decent sized TV on it if you wanted. It honestly wouldn’t fit in my NYC apt, but I think if you wanted to convert a one bedroom apt into a 2 bedroom you could probably use this

Tango vs ARCore: What is the Future of AR on Android?

Difference Between Tango and ARCore Google originally dropped the Project moniker in front of Project Tango just last June to signal it was out of beta and the new hardware focused AR program was ready for the mainstream. Two consumer devices were launched including the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro and the newer Asus Zenfone AR. These devices have some extra hardware to help them sense where you are in the world as well as where other items are (super important in AR applications, of course). These include a barometer for elevation, dedicated motion tracking camera, dedicated infrared depth-sensing camera, a

The Fastest Phone of 2017 (Surprising Results) (Video)

Doing a quick series of experiments here on the channel. I wanted to put all of the best phones of 2017 up against one another in a series of scientific not really that scientific challenges. Today, we’re going to start with speed. For this experiment, I put each device, on the same wifi network, installed the same popular apps and games that will, in this case, represent normal use, closed all of their open apps, and then saw how long it would take each one to load each app in a side by side. I chose the phones I figured

Huawei Watch 2 (Complete Walkthrough) (Video)

Does Wifi, Airplane Mode, & Screen On Affect Charging Times? (Surprising Results) (Video)

I did a video recently where I compared the new faster charger solution for the iPhone 8 Plus to the iPad charger and when I did it I didn’t think to turn off the Wifi on one device so one had it and one didn’t and you guys pointed it out. Now, I didn’t think of it because I assumed it wouldn’t make much of a difference. But with how many of you guys call it out, it got me wondering. And we know what happens when I wonder… So I set up the iPhone 8 Plus and charged it

What is Gigabit LTE and Why You Need It (Video)

Guys, we need to talk about a feature in phones that no one seems to be talking about: Gigabit LTE. Now, as the name implies, it’s LTE that is capable of delivering up to 1Gb/s speeds. I managed to, in San Francisco in the real world, not a lab get over 400mbps. Let me explain. Allied Content: This Video was Sponsored by Qualcomm (but it is something I thought was interesting to talk about or I wouldn’t have done the video 🙂 Hope you enjoy it!) How it works essentially is there are 4 LTE technologies that Qualcomm has managed

I’m here in Hawaii for Qualcomm’s tech summit and if you’ve maybe heard they’ve just announced their successor to the super popular Snapdragon 835, the new 845 and frankly, while it might be hard to get super into a piece of silicon without being able to see what it’ll do in a device, I’m kind of excited about it. The list of features on this thing are pretty impressive and there are a few standouts that I think we should discuss. Firstly, and of course, something I’m particularly excited about considering my line of work is the capturing capabilities. This

Best All-in-One PC for the Money (Video)

First, let’s quickly talk about why you’d want an All-in-One in the first place. The biggest reason is the screen size for the money. Most all-in-ones come with 23″ or higher (and sometimes much higher like the 34″ curved model from HP). A smaller sized screen laptop or desktop computer plus a separate monitor of that size would cost a decent amount more than an all-in-one usually. Besides that, newer ones save a lot of space and are even starting to look pretty darn sleek, too. So if you tend to sit in one place to use the computer (or
