    So I noticed that many of you don't like/trust mainstream tech reviewers reviews, any suggestions?

    Posted: 25 May 2020 06:06 AM PDT

    There are more than 2 million Redditor on this subreddit so how many of you don't count on their reviews? Just curiosity.

    I understand your complaints about their reviews, I enjoy watching their reviews but I myself have my own complaints, their reviews aren't perfect TBH IMO no one made a complete perfect review (mentioned every little thing and aspect in a very detailed way and didn't ignore anything)

    Before I watch their reviews I 100% know exactly what they gonna ignore, what they probably gonna talk about etc...

    • Camera: they almost talk about everything except some things that this guy mention in his reviews that I really appreciate + this guy

    • screen: "vivid, sharp, bezel-less, notches, amazing, etc..." Yeah but this is how you review a smartphone screen, learn from him + ok, TBF this is a professional calibrator so no surprises but also instead of hiring more people or spending more money just to level up the production quality, try hiring or collaborating with professionals like him to make your videos more informative and richer.

    • gaming: "amazing performance", no correct and accurate gaming test, no thermal throttling test, no battery drain info, etc... Just " smooth gaming experience", except GSMArena, go check their review of the Red magic 5G and Vivo IQOO 3, ROG Phone 2, finally some accurate* tests that I can count on, I just hope they do these test on all the phones and tablets they review not just gaming phones. (This is something that all the reviewers that I know not just the mainstream ones don't do it as good or as accurate as GSMArena)

    • audio: well I just like how DXOmark test the audio, how they test each and every aspect in depth but I'm just not sure if I can trust them 100% but man the Mi 10 Pro is really good in audio except the speakers aren't front-firing but seems everyone ignores the fact that front-firing stereo speakers are going extinct (fingers crossed for the RP3) + big respect for Acer for their tablet the predator 8 4 front-firing speakers, audio is as important as the screen, it's half the experience.

    • build quality: "this is a premium phone, so glass back..." I don't know about you but I prefer metal back, yeah glass is shiny and make the device looks and feels "premium" but glass is glass and glass can and will break, durability is just far more important than looks and gives a real value to the word "premium" + did you know that Huawei's latest tablet that has a metal back support fast wireless charging? TBF all the reviewers that I know ignore this thing not just the mainstream ones.

    • why everyone ignores that smartphones are very very slow when transferring files through a USB cable? A phone uses USB 3.0 port should give me 625MB/s speed, did I get this speed? No, anyone asked why? As far as I know, it's because phones/tablets are using an old slow file transferring protocol, not like a normal external SSD/HDD/Flash drive, etc... + Phones/tablets still don't support NTFS File system so my only option is FAT32 because my smart TV doesn't support exFAT, how much exactly the cost of supporting these file systems? This is also another thing ignored by almost everyone.

    ** accurate: their tests are pretty accurate except that they don't mention the number of threads they choose when they do the CPU thermal throttling test so we don't know for sure if their tests are 100% accurate or not, if you tested this thing like me you will know that when you set the number of threads on 100 there will be no performance cap at all on the CPU so you will get 100% accurate results this is if the test was at least 30 minutes long (60 minutes recommended) and the device was set on maximum performance mode + normal temperature room.

    You may ask, why doing a thermal throttling test? Well to know for sure if all these marketing bullshit "liquid cooling system, vapor chamber, 3 layer something cooling, etc...) Are real or bullshit as we expect.

    But also I need to say that for now we can't do a 100% accurate GPU thermal throttling test because there is no app for such a thing (you can run 3DMark sling shot extreme test multiple times and your GPU will beg for mercy like when Linus did it but still not 100% the best way) only a CPU thermal throttling test app, I hope we can test both at the same time.

    So suggestions for other reviewers that I should follow?

    edit1: I will keep following and watching your reviews because I enjoy them and they are still useful

    So much wasted potential

    Posted: 26 May 2020 04:42 AM PDT

    This is my own opinion so feel free to disagree + This post is just for sharing my opinion nothing more

    I have a Galaxy Note 9 Exynos (I should have chosen the ROG Phone when I had the chance)

    Every day every single time I grab my phone I just feel a little bit sad (sometimes angry) because I know for a fact that the hardware this phone has can offer me more, I know this phone and every phone out there have hardware that has the power to do more things and do the things that it's already doing a lot better but the software is always holding back the hardware capabilities.

    we are in 2020, smartphones have improved a lot over the last decade in term of hardware but yet the software isn't keeping up with the hardware, smartphones have a lot of potential but still, we won't get the chance to take the advantage of this hardware because of the software.

    Let me explain more by using 3 phones as an example OP, ROG Phone, Galaxy Note series, I will talk specifically about the SoC (SD865) inside these phones (I will ignore the camera because we all know that we can get better shots out of these cameras if the software was better):

    As I said we are in 2020, just look at the benchmark results of these phones, what do you think these phones are capable of doing? Don't you think with great software optimizations and utilization they can handle some intensive tasks that we normally do on PCs or laptops or even gaming consoles?

    With desktop mode becoming a thing don't you think these phones can handle the full office apps? Some advanced video editing apps, the full adobe photoshop? Etc...

    Just by looking at the benchmarks (3Dmark sling shot extreme benchmark), you will notice that 2020 phones are pretty close to the iPad Pro when it comes to GPU power the same iPad that apple described it as powerful as the Xbox 1S, so can't these phones handle some serious productivity and gaming tasks? Not just some MS office dogshit clones and candy crush?

    16GB RAM, 1TB internal storage, 144Hz displays, etc... with just 3 years of software updates and companies making it harder to flash custom ROMs by locking the bootloader and prevent you from using a lot of features the phone has by doing so... Even the only justifiable argument right now which is making the device more future proof by adding all these specs is becoming weaker and weaker every year.

    With developers and software companies support + monitor and keyboard and mouse phones can and will replace laptops/PC for a lot of people including me.

    Phones have the potential to be the smartphone and the laptop and the PC and gaming console for many people, and this also would mean saving a lot of money.

    But sadly I don't see manufacturers going to utilize this hardware anytime soon and maybe never + I know why they won't do it.
