    Asus Zenfone 5 Unboxing

    Think of maybe picking this up. Had the ZF2 back in the day and I liked it, but it had small quirks that added up to muddy the experience a bit. They were pretty good with putting out updates for bug fixes and such. In so far as security and OS updates that I'm not 100% sure about. I know a few...

    Nokia 6 (2018) now available in the U.S.

    Does it have a phone icon with LTE next to it? Mine also shows 4G where you would typically see LTE, but it also has that second icon to the left of it. In any case I've seen other people say they only see 4G, but do get LTE on their phones.

    Nokia 6 (2018) now available in the U.S.

    So I had liked it so far in my use. Experience has been smooth and battery life has been good. Love the build quality. Just got another update for the May security patch, so it shows that Nokia cares (guess being an AO device helps). But a couple of things are bothering me. First is that on a...

    I have an U11 Life. Ask me anything you want to know!

    I'd imagine that you haven't had it long enough to give an impression on how battery life is. I would love to hear about how the battery performs. A bit worried that the 2600mAh battery might be just a bit too small, although I've heard its ok in some of the reviews I've seen.

    Zenfone 4 Max a good deal at $200?

    Disappointing development. The ZF4M got two big scratches. One is fairly deep as well. Not sure what sort of glass is supposed to be on this, but there's no indications on Asus' website. I have a feeling its not Gorilla Glass though because I've had a OPX for a couple years and it doesn't have...

    Zenfone 4 Max ZC554KL 5000mah battery

    If I'm not mistaken, manufacturers usually have to get some sort of approval/certification to be able to do WiFi Calling and VoLTE on T-Mobile. That's what's come up in the past when certain manufacturers list Band 12 on their phones, but no VoLTE on the phone. As a matter of fact: T-Mobile...

    Zenfone 4 Max a good deal at $200?

    I've had this phone for a couple of weeks now as well. It isn't my daily driver just yet, but I'll say that it'd been a good experience. In so far as the value for the price I'd say its a bit tougher to say. I haven't really had any other phones that are typically floating around this price...

    Zenfone 4 Max ZC554KL 5000mah battery

    Yeah, no luck on my side so far. If the ZenFone 3 Deluxe is anything to go by chances are that the ZF4M probably doesn't support it for T-Mobile or At&t.

    Zenfone 4 Max ZC554KL 5000mah battery

    Question. Do you get VoLTE? I got one to mess around with as a secondary phone and I was hoping that it'd be able to get VoLTE since it has band 12.

    Pro 3 cases

    Think we're not going to see very many cases for this one sadly. I actually quite like the included case though. So I don't know that I would be getting another case anyway, but it would be nice to see some good tough cases for this phone.

    LeEco Black Friday Sale

    I typically get charged sales tax here in NY and I wasn't charged tax when I bought the Pro 3, so its possible that they don't unless I missed it.

    LeEco Black Friday Sale

    Its being ignored by just about everyone really. I think Engadget only just now posted a review a couple of days ago. There's a few youtube reviewers that have done reviews too, but its kind of crazy. I mean on the one hand I kind of get why most of the major tech (and in particular Android)...

    Marshmallow 6.0.1 now available on OPX

    Had the community build of Marshmallow since that was release. This new release definitely seems a bit more stable. Love having Dose now. The one thing I'm a bit down on though is auto brightness. Feels way to lax after the upgrade to Marshmallow. I could have it under the sun and it won't get...

    Moto G Play Specs (XT1607, XT1609)

    Release set for September 15th. Up for pre-order on Amazon. Might get one as a back up phone.

    Would anyone consider getting one?

    I would like one just to try it out. Not sure if it really offers enough over my current OnePlus X to replace it with this.
