Note, these results seem almost too bad to be true, but replicated the results across numerous charging setups. Let me know if there is a charging brick out there that will work better. When I looked at the OnePlus 6 fast charging (don’t call it Dash Charge anymore) last
Earlier I shared 6 things I really like about the OnePlus 6, so it’s of course time to look at the things that bug me about this phone. Garbage menu bar I wrote about this already, but I’m still annoyed how the top right of the menu bar
Now listen, the OnePlus 6 has a very low chance of dethroning my iPhone XS for my day-to-day phone, but there are some things I really like about it and had to share them here. And yes, I know OnePlus announced their OnePlus 6T today, but a lot of what
OnePlus phones are known for having best-in-class fast charing, and now that I have one of these guys, I had a few questions: 1. How fast is Dash Charge? 2. How much faster is it than charing on the newest iPhones? Despite the Android community’s love of open standards,
I want to take a few minutes and rant just a bit on the status bar on Android. Now since I know a lot of people will be reading this from iOS, here’s what my status bar looked like earlier today. On the left we have the time and

Android has never been my favorite operating system, as evidenced by my numerous Android reviews, but I always hold out hope that “this is the year” they win me over. I’ll begin this piece by saying that Google has indeed not won me over in 2018 either. Android Pie
Every year it's the same story: 1. Google announces new Android version in the summer and says "this time it's different" in terms of software updates. 2. Google launches the new version of Android in the summer/fall for Pixel devices. 3. All other
I debated whether to post this on April Fool’s Day or not, but hey, the timelines just so happen to line up 🤷🏻♂️ I’m going to pop my SIM card back into my Pixel 2 for a while. I’m doing so this time without the pressure of having
The Android P developer preview is here, and as any good tech blogger with a Google phone would, I installed it on my Pixel 2. One of the notable features of Android P is native support for the new “notched” world we live in. In the post iPhone X world,
When a great, fast phone starts to lose its zip after a few months: Roughly three months into using my [########] it became unbearably slow and only a factory reset would fix it. Curiously (not really), I had the exact same issue three months into my [########] use. The second time around
We all thought the world of Android would be a better place with an official autofill API. We assumed it would take something that had been hacked together for years on Android and mostly nailed on iOS, and make it great. All the power of an operating system with fewer
There has been a lot of talk recently about smartphone performance lately, and whether or not one company is slowing down their phones. For my part, I happen to have an iPhone 8 Plus and Google Pixel 2 in front of me, both of which have been heavily used and
I got this email from Nextbit just a few minutes ago: Hi Rebels, We would like to sincerely thank all of you for using Smart Storage. The Smart Storage service will, however, be ending on March 1st, 2018. Well crap. This doesn’t hurt me at all since I never
