- Reposted by Michael Fisher@edzitron.com is joined by Kyle Barr of Gizmodo, freelance writer @cranz.bsky.social and content creator @captain2phones.bsky.social (AKA Mr. Mobile) to talk about the weird and fun gadgets that are still getting made, both in the US and abroad. www.iheart.com/podcast/1119...
- Hi all! Sorry for my recent absence here. Reason: I've joined Threads' Content Creator Program, so most of my focus has gone to posting there (same handle). I only have time for so many platforms. *Totally get it* if Threads isn't your thing, but that's where I'm spending most of my time for now.
- Context: yes, the Creator Program means I get paid to post on Threads – but to be honest, I was already looking for a "primary" microblogging home, since posting/replying on 3 sites is a lot. Threads also has the most robust content tools for what I'm looking to do right now (photos, audio, etc).
- Finally got around to snapping some shots of Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. The stainless steel is beautiful and goes a long way toward hiding the odd circle-on-a-squircle design, and the return of the physical bezel is also welcome. More early thoughts on IG at @theMrMobile with YouTube video coming soon!
- Adding to a fairly long list of “FINALLY”s today: Samsung’s most portable smartphone now supports DeX! Haven’t gotten the Flip7 fully running on the NexDock review unit yet, but at least wireless functionality seems to be present. DeXheads, rejoice!
- I've been waiting for Samsung to get back to competitive foldables for years ... and the Galaxy Fold 7 might finally get us there. 𐄷Thinner/lighter (215g, 8.9mm) 🌈Fun colors are back! 📺Wider screens inside & out 💧Waterdrop crease 📸200MP camera 🤘Rebuilt hinge w/titanium lattice 💰$1999 🧵
- On the other side of the foldable divide: the Galaxy Flip7 gets Samsung closer to competitive with Razr: 🔋 4300 mAh battery 📏 Thinner & lighter (13.7mm, 188g) 🌈 Fun colors are back (again!) 📺 6.9" inner w/waterdrop crease 🖥️ 4.1" cover (run any app you want, but still takes an extra few steps)
- (^ That one costs 💰 $1099, BTW) If that's too rich for your blood, Samsung's finally bringing foldables downrange with the $899 Flip 7 FE. Basically a Flip 6 repowered with Exynos and a few minor tweaks, for $899. (Motorola still has 'em beat on price with the $699 Razr, but progress is progress)
- I'd rather have an ugly phone than a boring one. Nothing Phone (3) Review: youtu.be/01jJv0C_028
- Pretty sure it's gonna be Not Great, given Unihertz's prior efforts and my very early first impressions. But it's so cheap it might be worth a spin just to try out. No time for a video, at least not for a while. (Disclosure, I'm co-founder of a mobile keyboard company, etc etc)
@captain2phones.bsky.social do you have thought on the Unihertz Titan 2? currently in kickstarter with early bird price of ~$270, it's quite tempting. I never had a Passport but I do miss a real keyboard (and my current phone isn't compatible with Clicks, otherwise I'd just get that lol)
- It's basically the same Razr as last year, so why bother reviewing it? 1) It's even cheaper, bringing foldables to still more people 2) It's the perfect phone for a "re-tox" following my Light experiment 3) I got to do it in Paris, thanks to VivaTech Premieres now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGTk...
- I'm too heavy for the Light Phone – but I had an amazing 2 weeks figuring that out. New MrMobile video premieres (with live chat!) in 15m: youtu.be/fRRNSEb1DAQ
- Qualcomm celebrated its 40th birthday in NYC last night, and I was on hand to capture a few moments through the (Snapdragon-powered) Light Phone III.
- This phone definitely isn't built to be an optical powerhouse, but in this (very retro-coded) setting, I love the "vintage" vibes it gives. More on my Light Phone III experience in a sec.
- I took Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge to Google I/O to see if the reality is as confusing as the concept. The result was a surprisingly positive experience – but I'd still consider the Edge a lightweight. Review [with live chat!]: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhRp...
- Being a weirdo is my passion
- (Yes I know this is ridiculous but) this is actually handy in-flight, because a laptop usually doesn’t fit well at all here. Decoupling the keyboard from the phone/display has its uses. Keyboard is a sample K2H-F1 unit provided by @keychron.
- Motorola already had the best flip foldable – and the Razr Ultra cements its lead in features, specs & style. But it's not flawless. There's only 1 good camera; it's buggier than Razr '24; and the AI is meh (shocker, I know). Then again: WOOD! Review w/live chat drops in 20: youtu.be/eo9_K98nypE
- Andor S2E8 ruined my entire day (week?) in the most necessary way
- Samsung's 5.8mm Galaxy S25 Edge pushes no real boundaries and, at $1099, seems poised to steal sales from the more interesting Galaxy Flip. Given Motorola's release of a 5.2mm phone 9 years ago, it's tough to get excited about life on this particular "edge." 📷: www.instagram.com/p/DJkqeMGRVHl/
