    I don't know how OnePlus possibly thinks this could be good PR after what just happened with Stalker 2, Stan Lee, and everyone else trying this.

    The Moto G Stylus 2021 is a great budget phone.

    Posted: 17 Dec 2021 06:54 AM PST

    So long story short. I had to upgrade from my Poco X3 Pro since it isn't supported on AT&Ts network anymore. I bought an S21 as a replacement for it, but was extremely disappointed with the UI and battery life, so I started looking elsewhere...

    A week ago I was looking at Motorolas lineup and the G Stylus stood out. Huge screen, and big battery is exactly what I wanted. I got it today and so far it's everything I wanted in a phone. Fast snappy performance, 2 day battery life and a giant screen.

    I don't really care for the Stylus. In my opinion it's pretty useless since it lags behind when you write fast. If you write or draw slowly it's alright, but it's really just a gimmick I think.

    I can't really comment on the camera since I don't use it all that much. It's definitely above average, but obviously not on par with the S21.

    For $220 off Amazon I'd say it's probably one of the best budget phones you can buy. The only downside that might be a deal breaker for some is no 5G. They do make a 5G version that's $400 and has slightly better specs.

    Motorola Edge X30 Initial Review by Technick

    Posted: 17 Dec 2021 07:11 AM PST

    Youtube link: https://youtu.be/cCCutDPxbEw

    First Snapdragon 8 Gen1 phone.
    Benchmarks:
    Antutu: 990214
    Geekbench: 1235/3566 vs Iphone 13 Pro Max 1592/4713
    3d Mark Wildlife: 9894/59.2 fps vs Iphone 13 Pro Max's 57.5 fps

    TLDR: Great performance, comes with Android 12, mediocre cameras, subpar heat management, no wireless charging, no water resistance.
    Good effort but wait for other upcoming flagship phones.

    Material Design Award Winners 2021

    Adobe Speak Post becomes Creative Cloud: Express and moves core features behind a paywall.

    Posted: 16 Dec 2021 02:06 PM PST

    I was a huge fan of Spark Post. It would enable me to make graphics for stuff quickly and the best feature of all was access to all the images for backgrounds.

    Sadly Adobe has decided that they want to charge for that along with other features such as resizing or adding logos.

    £9 a month or £87 a year for casual graphics stuff is insane. I'm surprised that no one is talking about it. While I understand the subscription model as a means of financing software development. No one is in their phone using this app to run a business.

    Galaxy Z Flip 3 from iPhone user

    Posted: 17 Dec 2021 10:12 PM PST

    Last week i finally gave in after months and bought a galaxy z flip 3. Although I LOVE the phone I don't see myself keeping it to be honest. Switching from iPhone is so hard 😣 I'm so used to a more natural looking camera and my emojis lol. Really can't get used to how bad 3rd party apps are despite it being a flagship device :( but I honestly feel myself falling in love with it more everyday lol. The design is SO comfortable to hold even without a case which is something I'd never even consider with my iPhone. There's so much to enjoy about this phone and I think maybe the tech isn't ready for someone like me but I will be waiting to see what they do next year :3
