Newderry 10000 mAh S24 Ultra Case Review

Image
Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a special review. Newderry sent me this case for review.     The battery on the S24 Ultra is 5000 mAh. The case's battery is double that. This means I can get approximately two full charges out of this case.      In real-world use, it's been great. I can charge up from 40 to 100 and still have 2.5 to 3 lights left on the case (the lights indicate charge). The case charges when I charge my phone, so I can keep it on all the time. It is easy to get the phone in and it does not impede 90% of its functionality.      Haptics, speakers, and earpieces are not degraded when using the case. In fact, the haptics and earpiece feel slightly enhanced. Although the battery bank is large, it fits in my pockets. Every area of the phone is protected. The screen is protected by the case's lip, and while the cameras are exposed, the big bottom half of the case protects it well.      In terms of overall protection, I'm no...

How To Change Sky In Video

Image
Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a special article.     With summer coming soon, thunderstorms arriving, and July 4th coming up, you may want to make your skies look a bit more festive and less wet. Or you may want to add space-themed or Left Behind-themed skies to your videos. You can do all this and more with the Motion Ninja app on Android.    First, download and pay for the Motion Ninja app. Then, click the button that says "Magic Sky" and select your clip. Right now, you can only use up to 6 seconds of video.     Next, choose your effect. Depending on the effect, you can move it up and down like the fireworks or side to side for more typical skies. Feel free to explore and have fun! God Bless, and Tech Talk To You Later!!!

S24 Ultra Review: Good But....

Image
Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a review of the Galaxy S24 Ultra.     When I first received this phone, I was amazed. The build quality is great, though I would have liked the curved edges that I have seen on the S23 Ultra. The screen has stayed free from micro-scratches, and the Victus 2 glass is mostly scratch-free.     The titanium frame is also strong, and there are no scratches on my device. The handset also feels very light in the hand. The S-Pen is also very sturdy to use, though my cap got broken off (someone stepped on it). Overall, the build quality is very good.     The screen is also great in most lighting conditions. It is a 6.8-inch adaptive 120 Hz QHD display. It claims to get up to 2600 nits of brightness, and it has an anti-reflective coating applied. The screen gets bright enough, though in the bright Houston sun, sometimes black text or maps (dark mode) get washed out and it can be hard to read. The screen seems to perform better in light ...

DEX Need To Get Better: Agreements

Image
Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a special article.    When the US forces conquered the American West during Manifest Destiny, they made agreements with the Native Americans. Likewise, Samsung must make agreements with tech companies to make DEX even greater than it already is. Samsung needs to bring ChromeOS or Windows to phones. They can reserve it for flagships, but it must happen. Android OS is still too limited to get work done. For instance, Chrome Mobile does not allow screen sharing of the browser, nor can many applications connect to an external camera. This prevents me from being able to do a good live podcast from my phone.      Likewise, certain programs and games will not run on Android or ChromeOS but only on Windows. There are options such as Winulator and Vectras VM; however, they don't support the newest chip yet, and the Vectras VM people are just scummy.     Samsung, to make DEX great give us a desktop browser and a dedicated VM app, p...

Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a special article.       As some of you know Samsung relesaed Samsung Dex in 2017 with the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 plus. In the following 7 yrs the phone has appeared on all S phones and tablets and Z fold phones. However the Dex has only appeared on one A phone. Excep[t for not adding video out to the USB C ports of the Galaxy A54 it has more RAM and is 10% faster than the Galaxy S8 per Versus.com. Currrently the A54 is 258 USD on Amazon.com and the cheaped new phone capabale of Dex is 799 USD (Galaxy S24). Of course you can find deals on older flagships but most people like to buy direct from carrier.      Adding Dex to the budget and midrange smartphones whould help people who don't have computers or afford them to acces the web on a larger screen. Using a cheap VGA monitor they may already have or find cheaply they can access a better quality monitor on Amazon. The combo of a phone, data, monitor, and dongles/cables ...
