Motorola Razr 2023 1st Impression: I feel Sad

Image
          The Motorola Razr 2023 (Razr 40 as it is sometimes called) is available refurbished for under 250 USD. Is this a good buy? Full disclosure, I will not be doing a full seven-day review, as the device will be shipped back after my hands-on, so I can get more content out for you guys. This is a 6.9-inch phone with green faux leather and a tiny cover display. This display is next to useless as it only shows the time, date, and battery percentage, basic camera control, and can be programmed to do things on "double tap" such as take a screenshot, or pause media      Speaking of battery percentage, the phone is not that good with battery life in my limited, Wi-Fi-only testing. According to AccuBattery it should have about 4 hrs and 30 min of screen-on time with 90% battery... which is not that good in my opinion, especially for phones at this price point which have large batteries and trash chips, so they can last all day. Also the Razr lo...

One UI 8 BROKE Secure Folder

Image
      Red alert, guys! As a heavy user of Samsung's core security feature, this just breaks my heart. Today I updated to the One UI 6 update and the September security patch, excited for a faster Galaxy AI screenshot, better security features, and hopefully better battery life. I was not expecting a core breakdown in the security of my phone.       On One UI 7, I had my phone set to lock upon the app's exit. Now, sometimes there may be glitches, but usually it would lock, so every time when switching from Chrome to Sheets to YouTube, the app would be locked. This was useful because it meant that mission-critical data couldn't be leaked even if my phone was unlocked. It also meant nobody could sign me up for newsletters if I handed them my phone to look at Instagram or something like that.        Now, with this update, it keeps the apps unlocked, essentially returning to the function of the application. If someone has access to the phone,...

Nuu B30 Pro Review: The Numbers Phone

Image
     Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a of the Nuu B30 Pro 5G. Nuu sent me the phone in exchange for a review.         This brand Nuu phone retails for 299 USD. It has a 108 MP main camera, triple cameras, 256 GB of storage, 5000 mAh battery, 12 GB RAM 6.7 inch 1080p 120HZ curved display, dual SIM, and 5G connectivity!!! Is this the perfect phone? Nope!!! Not by a long shot. Some of these numbers are useful, and some of the numbers are filler. This phone seems to have 3 teams working on it. The hardware team, which probably got the most funding, the software team which perhaps had one person working on it, and the cameras team which probably had more financing.      The phone is dual SIM but only works with Tmobile networks.  It has WiFi, Bluetooth, and 5G connectivity. USBc 2.0, and no headphone jack. I tested it on Bluetooth earphones, and the sound sounded good. I did experience a few drops and audio disconnected from one earb...
