Samsung's Battery Needs To Get Better

Image
    Samsung needs to get better. The OnePlus 15 just dropped, and it has a 7300 mAh battery—over 2000 mAh more than Samsung’s latest and greatest flagship, the S25 Ultra. And while reviews say the S25 Ultra can last a day and a half, my S24 Ultra struggles to make it through a full day . Meanwhile, OnePlus’ flagship lasts almost two and a half days according to Mr. Mobile’s testing, which included extreme use with hotspots and GPS. And look: while OnePlus keeps a slim frame by using a silicon carbon battery, I honestly don’t care if Samsung wants to stick with lithium-ion and make the phone thicker. I use a 10,000 mAh case every day , and it’s fine. This is Samsung’s Ultra —if you want a thin phone, get an Edge or Plus model. The Ultra should have a massive battery, period.      The phone itself has basically peaked. The cameras are good enough for most people. AI will mostly live in the cloud unless you want to destroy the battery. Call quality, apps, g...

Snapdragon Releases The 4 Gen 2 Mobile Platform

Image
  Hello, this is TheTechBoy with an analysis of the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 Chip.    Snapdragon has realeased the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 Mobile Platform. (Flagships use 8Gen, so I'm assuming this is budget.) The platform supports UFS 3.1 memory, better 'Ai' camera processing for photos and videos, and faster 5G and WiFi speeds. Let's dig into this and find out what kind of phones would use this chip.    The chips support fast charging technology that allows phones to reach 50 percent in 15 minutes. These are really good charging speeds for any phone, flagship or otherwise.  The cameras also support 108 MP camera capture, 1080p video recording at 60 FPS, and 720p 120fps slow-motion footage. On the connections side, the chip supports WiFi 5 and WPA3 connections. The screens support 120 Hz and USB 3.2. You can see that this chip is not for flagships and even some upper midrange phones. However, it nails the basics for sub $300 phones.    It has a 120 Hz scree...

The OnePlus 11 is Everything the 10T Could Have Been.

Image
Hello, this is TheTechBoy with The OnePlus 11 is everything the 10T could have been.      OnePlus took lots of time to talk about the camera of the OnePlus 11. There is a 2x telephoto zoom, and the typical primary sensor and wide sensor. The included Hassablad integration makes the camera application 'fun' per MrMobile. OnePlus 11 Source OnePlus.com      Another thing OnePlus focused on was next-generation speed. The phone has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, one of the best chips for performance, performance per watt, and battery life per Juan Bagnell. It comes with 12 or 16 GB of the fastest RAM possible and has dedicated ram for applications that need to open quickly. According to OnePlus, the phone should not slow down for 48 months.  According to MrMobile, there is still some shutter lag in dimly lit scenarios.              The handset also comes with four years of Software updates and five years of security patch...

Why Phones Should Come With 4K 120 FPS

Image
    Hello, this is TheTechBoy with why 4K 120 FPS is important on phones. Phones like the S22 series and the iPhone 14 series cannot record in 4K 120. The OnePlus phones and the some other BBK phones, some ZTE phones, as well as the Sony Xperia IV can recored in this mode. My S22 Plus can record 1080p 120 FPS though.  What is FPS?      With phones sporting 8k 24 FPS and 8k 30 FPS modes, I'm may assume that this is the very best thing to happen in mobile video. However, unless you have an 8k TV to enjoy the content on the video is mostly a marketing gimmick/future proofing. 4k 120 FPS is great for three reasons Quality:     4K (UHD) video shot under the same conditions as a 1080p (HD) video from the same phone should look better than the 1080p stream. 4K televisions are also prolific enough that when blown up you can appreciate the difference in quality.  Availability:    4K televisions are prolific these days. Phones theese days ca...

For some reason live chat is disabled so remember to comment here.  9:47 Wow a phone company is talking about connectivity instead of camera camera camera. 9:48 What competitor is he talking about?  9:50 I like how OnePlus is talking about the features of the phone. It's interesting to see a real showcase.  9:52 This triple camera system looks underwhelming.  9:56 A 4 min presentation for camera features. Wow that's short.  9:59 What did all the deaignes have in common? They had an alert slider. 10:00 Curved back flat screen nice.  10:00 The different colors have different textures.  10:03 Thats a big battery. 10:08 OxygenOS 13 is being released. 10:11 Talking about the color in Oxygen OS.

Samsung Unpacked

 Hello this is TheTechBoy with Samsung Unpacked. Hopefully it is not interrupted too much by the OnePlus event. 

Can the Pixel 4a beat The OnePlus Nord?

Image
                It does not bend, so yes.    Hello, this is TheTechBoy. The recently released OnePlus Nord is an affordable 5G phone set to compete with the Samsung A71 5G, but can it defeat the rumored Google Pixel 4a? The OnePlus Nord has 8 Gb of Ram, a 90 HZ display, an on-screen fingerprint scanner, 128 GB of non-expandable storage, a flat 6.44-inch screen, and 5G for about 484 dollars. The processor is a Snapdragon 765G, a slower processor the Snapdragon 865 but less expensive. The cameras on the back are 48 MP main, 8 MP ultra-wide, a 2 MP macro, and a 5 MP depth sensor. The selfie  cameras  use a 32 MP main camera and an 8 MP ultra-wide camera. Unfortunately, the phone has limited availability in the U.S. There is no headphone jack. The Pixel 4a may have only one 12 MP camera, but using Google's computational photography the pictures should be excellent. The phone should have one 12 MP hole-punch camera to the l...
