made more progress on the app. I’m trying not to get too bogged down by a checklist of “blog commenting” functionality, and focus more on the experience of “hanging out around blogs.” That means things will be a little funky when you arrive, and maybe a little disorienting — but that’s kind of the point. I don’t want to build a sterile, Facebook-ish environment. As of last night, instead of landing in a network-wide space (the “Café”), I hav...

[SONY XPERIA PRO-I ROAD TRIP REVIEW]
It was Battlestar Galactica which taught us that “All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.” Each year, tech megaliths like Qualcomm host huge press events in a tropical paradise. Each year, tech tastemakers flee their frozen local wintertimes to attend them. And each year, Sony builds a cameraphone that seems like the perfect tool to capture those adventures.
Even without its optional tripod accessory and magnetic monitor, the Sony Xperia Pro-I (“I” for “imaging”) leaves no doubt about the kind of customer it’s built for. It’s a phone for vloggers; for travelers who’d prefer not to carry a full-size camera. In other words, it’s a phone for me. I’m Michael Fisher; join me for a week in Hawaii as I put the newest vlogging-centric smartphone to the test, in MrMobile’s Sony Xperia Pro-I Road Trip Review!

iPhone 13 Pro vs Pixel 6 Pro: 2000 Photos Later | Full Frame Ep. 5
When the iPhone 13 Pro launched earlier this fall, we said it had the “best camera” in a smartphone. But a few weeks later, Google’s Pixel 6 Pro, with its 50-megapixel sensor that is hard-coded to produce 12.5-megapixel images, was finally released, proving a worthy competitor for the iPhone 13 Pro’s 12-megapixel camera. To settle the score I took 1,000 photos with each device and realized using these cameras was about far more than their end products.
