After updates we can REALLY compare the new chips from Qualcomm and Mediatek! Are they upgrades over the chips from last year? Is it worth including Pixels in these charts anymore?

I'm still planning a PC rebuild. AMD just announced the Ryzen 7 9850X3D, which I'm seriously considering.
www.amd.com/en/products/...

Crazy to me that they're marketing 3D V-Cache as a way to save on RAM.
"Across an average of 30+ games, the FPS difference between DDR5-4800 and DDR5-6000 was <1%."

My "fave" replies are from folks who DESPERATELY need to tell me this idea is worthless.
"Maybe some day it will work when we can get REAL operating systems, and not this MOBILE garbage..."

I mute all of them, because really, who needs that level of entitled weaponized ignorance in their lives.
There's NO reason why a decent mid-range phone couldn't be someone's main desktop or laptop. The NexPhone is a mid-range rugged phone which connects to a monitor to be a Debian or Windows 11 PC! youtu.be/qfY5t6N8YxM

Phones are computers. I ramble about that a lot. This phone is LITERALLY that!
NexPhone Hands On! The Android Phone Which is ALSO a Linux AND Windows PC!

Your phone is crazy powerful. It just needs some better hardware to USE all that power! youtu.be/4fAteJ-zkEc
The new NexDock looks a little lacking on paper, but I think I like this experience better than the last model...

It's been a while since I tested a Poco M series phone. The M is a more affordable line of devices, but the M8 is launching with a "Pro" variant. Let's see what makes this phone "pro".

It's not much bigger than the little stabilizers we use for phones, but Hohem delivers a solid platform for proper cameras. Plus, this AI subject tracking is INSANE.

Audeze Maxwell 2 review is GO! youtu.be/6_0ztrve-cY

Maxwell was my favorite gaming headset, and Maxwell 2 brings some polish to the experience. In a funny way, gaming headsets like these are one of the best "starter audiophile" headphones you can shop.

The Best Mobile Games of 2025 (are Mostly Console and PC Ports)!
It’s that time of year! I’m listing out my favorite mobile games published for Android in 2025! Of course, we shouldn’t be TOO surprised that this list is dominated by older games…
