Kellen May 20, 2020

There are few industry movements as dumb as the 5G wars between US carriers. AT&T kicked it all off with their 100% fake 5G that was labeled as 5Ge, but now that carriers have real 5G activated, there is a constant chest puffing over speeds vs. coverage....

As 2018 was kicking off and we approached the early season of phone releases, I wrote a piece about the Pixel 2 XL and how I considered it to be "my iPhone." At the time, I was sharing my thoughts on finally finding enough satisfaction in a phone to the point...

Also Sweet, the Pixel 4 is $260 Off at the Moment

Kellen May 18, 2020

The Pixel 4 is certainly a phone with flaws, there is no denying that. We've now reviewed it twice and told you of its shortcomings, none of which have changed since it launched back in October of last year. The battery life is still bad. The camera is great...
