If your social media feed looks anything like mine, it’s been flooded with “leaks” and “Order Now” ads for a fantasy device: the Oppo Find X8 Ultra 5G. The spec sheet reads like a tech enthusiast’s fever dream: a 250MP quad camera, a monolithic 6.9-inch display, and a frankly impossible 7200mAh battery. As a technology […]

As someone who has reviewed smartphones for over a decade, I’ve become accustomed to “iteration.” A slightly faster chip, a minor camera bump, maybe a 5% bigger battery. We celebrate 5,000mAh as “all-day” and 5,500mAh as “massive.” Yesterday, OnePlus didn’t just iterate; it took a sledgehammer to the entire concept of battery life. The OnePlus

The 2022 launch of

In the world of action cameras, progress is measured in millimeters and megapixels. For years, the war between GoPro and DJI has been a slugfest of incremental upgrades: slightly better stabilization, marginally improved low-light, a few more frames per second. As a tech expert who has reviewed every major action cam for the last decade,

For over a decade, I’ve watched the annual smartphone “spec war” with a kind of weary amusement. While Android brands battled over who could cram 16GB or even 24GB of RAM into a device, Apple sat confidently on the sidelines, shipping flagship phones with 6GB or 8GB. The message was clear: “We don’t need to

For decades, the “console war” has been a simple, two-front battle defined by plastic boxes in our living rooms. It was about exclusives, teraflops, and a $499 price point. This week, Xbox President Sarah Bond took a match to that rulebook. In a statement that has sent shockwaves through the industry, Bond described the next-generation
