Patreon exclusive! I waited for updates to re-shoot my Pixel 8 Pro camera deep dive. My absurdly delayed review is FINALLY live! https://www.patreon.com/posts/my-absurdly-8-is-98737838
It's a weird feeling, where at once this is the best point and shoot camera on phone available today, and yet I'm still a bit disappointed in Google's AI claims...
I've never understood the "proper" photographers that shrug off dandelion photos. They're such interesting little weeds.
Found a large dandelion going to seed after all the rainy weather we've been having. Shot on Pixel 8 Pro with minor edits.
Happy Holidays! Had a brilliant meet up with my #TeamPixel pals at #WinterFestOC to see all the pretty lights and ride some fun carnival rides! Shot and edited on the #Pixel8Pro before I drive home 😊🎄
Folding phone owners! How do YOU watch video on your foldable? I told a pal I preferred a "tent mode" setup, and they said i was crazy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww49P4PBl_w
I await your hot takes!
I waited for Android 14 AND app updates, and was close to naming this the "Folding Phone Camera of 2023", but what's going on with the sensors?
Should we grade foldables on a curve?
Happy Thanksgiving! A loving kitchen full of family and our favorite dishes. My hope for you every day (but especially on the special days) is that you are safe, warm, well fed, and spending time with people who care about you.

The VAST majority of folding phones sold now are "flip" style. Using a chunk of my #PixelFold review (and literal road trip test drive) to wonder about the consumer who might be a better fit for a mini-folding-tablet. https://somegadgetguy.com/b/3rE
Collab with my buddy @tkbay! We're taking a look at folding phones with a pair of videos! https://somegadgetguy.com/2023/11/01/open-or-fold-lets-chat-oneplus-vs-samsung/
OnePlus is impressing with the new Open, and in the USA we can compare against the Pixel Fold and the Galaxy Z Fold5. Looks like Samsung is facing a LOT more competition!
Let's chat about mini-tablets that fold up into thicc phones!
I know folks chuckle about old services like #flickr, but since being bought by a #photography company, it's been nice to see them improve their mobile app, especially for tablets.
It's just embarrassing at this point how bad #Instagram is on larger screens.
This was a HUGE problem for years. You buy an EXPENSIVE Android phone, and try to do something BASIC, like trim the beginning and end of a video clip. Google Photos would often take longer to process that video, than the video took to play in real time (and an iPhone would finish the same task almost twice as fast).
A recent update to Photos has improved that processing time... By a LOT...
NOOOO! The public release of Android 14 doesn't include the option to use your phone as a webcam!?!?!?
DAMMIT! I wanted to use that with the Pixel 8 Pro!
Someone please tell me I'm missing something...
