Opinion: I Take It Back, Maybe Hold Off on Buying Pixel Fold?

Tim June 29, 2023 34

One month ago, I was young and naive. I thought I had all of the answers. Over the past month, I've done a lot of maturing and have come to realize that buying first-gen products can and sometimes do come with a risk. As we're seeing with the first-generation...

The Phones We’re Currently Using and Why

Tim May 3, 2021 105

We were emailed by a reader this week who asked us which phones we are currently using. On a recent episode of the Droid Life Show, I mentioned the fact that I had no idea what phone I'd use following my review of the OnePlus 9. Honestly, I'm not in love with...

We recently learned that LG is contemplating a shutdown of its mobile business, the same business that is reported to have lost the company around $4.5 billion in the past five years. When you start talking about that kind of money, it seems like a safe...

Guest May 5, 2020

Few Options Remain in an Android World That Used to be Littered With Choice

Tim July 23, 2019

Be Together. Not the Same. There was a commercial Google put out a few years ago that really touched me. The main reason I enjoyed it was because it showcased funny animal pairings you wouldn't usually see, such as a dog playing with an elephant and a sheep...

Okay, I Was Wrong About IR Blasters

Tim June 25, 2019

I'm completely capable of admitting when I am wrong about something. I honestly thought the San Francisco Giants could be contenders this year. I also thought the Trail Blazers had a chance against the Warriors without KD in the WCF. We've all been wrong...
