When Phones Were Fun: NEXTEL MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 2022-01-22 | For a couple years in mid-2000s America, it was tough to go a day in public without hearing a very distinctive electronic “chirp.” It was the trademark tone of “Direct Connect,” a nationwide-walkie talkie built in to every cellphone bearing the “Nextel” nameplate. By 2004, Direct Connect had helped Nextel Communications amass nearly 20 million customers with some of the highest loyalty – and highest revenues – in the industry. But less than two years later, the storied Nextel brand would crumble into a punchline, following a merger so devastating it almost sank the company that bought it. Join Michael Fisher to see what caused one of the most valuable brands in wireless to go from “getting things done” to just … Done. |[SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT WHEN PHONES WERE FUN – NEXTEL]This is the seventeenth in a series of MrMobile videos exploring the mobile tech world's most vibrant period in design and experimentation. In “When Phones Were Fun,” Michael Fisher re-reviews cellphones from the golden age of mobile, the decade-long span from the turn of the century to approximately 2009.When Phones Were Fun: Episode 17 features a wide assortment of Nextel and Sprint Nextel handsets purchased by Michael Fisher and by MrMobile’s publisher, Future PLC. The epilogue features review devices on loan from AT&T FirstNet, Relay, and Aina.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 vs Motorola Razr+ MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 2023-08-12 | Sponsored by dbrand. Skin your Galaxy Z Flip 5, Motorola RAZR+, or other devices here: dbrand.com/mrmobile-flip5[SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FLIP 5 VS MOTOROLA RAZR+]Over three years ago, Motorola kickstarted the clamshell revival with the resurrected MOTORAZR 2019 … and just a few months later, Samsung came for Motorola’s milkshake with a direct competitor: the first Galaxy Z Flip.Well a little under three months ago, I started to think history might be about to repeat itself. Because while I like Motorola’s Razr+ 2023 that dropped in June, the reality is that it’s a phone built around one killer feature: a huge cover screen that lets this flip phone double as a tiny phone. With not much else to set the Razr+ apart, I speculated that all Samsung would need to do to crush it would be to release an updated Galaxy Flip that did the same thing. And lo and behold, Samsung has done just that.Today on MrMobile, we’re putting the world’s two best flip phones head to head!

In the “hot foldable summer” of 2023, I find myself reviewing the most significant Android in ages, on short notice, while traveling … and folks, that’s exactly the kind of lifestyle the book-type foldable was made for.For the past three and a half years, a Samsung Galaxy Fold has filled that need in my life – for a laptop when there isn't space for a laptop; a tablet when a phone isn't quite enough. Well, Google’s new Pixel Fold turns the equation on its side, in a way that’s been done before, yes – but this time the company doing it is the company that makes Android.

Motorola RAZR+ Review: The Flip Phone You Dont Need To Open MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 2023-06-22 | Small phones are dead. The iPhone mini is done for; Sony's Xperia Compact is long gone; and even the Pixel A-series is a fairly big 6-inch candybar. Unless you want to import something like a Unihertz Jelly, the age of the miniature phone is over.That is ... unless you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, the Hinge.Yes, it's foldable time again – and Motorola's new Razr+ is the very definition of the best of both worlds: it's a clamshell flip phone that lets you spread out on a big 6.9-inch screen, then fold that screen in half to produce a phone that fits in almost any pocket."Sure," you're saying, "but so what? Flip foldables have been doing that for years." Well, the thing that sets the Razr+ apart is how much it can do ... without you ever needing to open it.[SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT MRMOBILE'S MOTOROLA RAZR+ REVIEW/RAZR PLUS REVIEW]This video was produced following two weeks with a Motorola RAZR+ review unit provided by Motorola.

Googles Pixel Tablet Is Only As Good As Its Assistant MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 2023-06-20 | Google has tried making cheap tablets, and it's tried making expensive ones; it's outsourced them, and it's made them in-house; it's built tablets for play and for work; it's released laptops disguised as tablets, and vice versa. In fact, Google has tried tablets so many times, in so many ways, over so many years ... that it's actually officially given up on them at least once!But what Google hasn't tried is making a tablet that turns into a Google Nest when you put it down – until now. That's what the Pixel Tablet is trying to be, and a week after welcoming it into my own "nest," I think it’s a truly special idea. I just wish I could trust Google to stick with it.[CORRECTION] The Pixel Tablet will receive guaranteed Android platform updates until June 2026, and security updates through June 2028. The reason for the error: technical documentation provided with my review device stated platform support would only continue through "June 2023." MrMobile regrets the error.[SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT THIS VIDEO]MrMobile's Google Pixel Tablet Review was produced following one week with a Pixel Tablet review sample provided by Google.MrMobile does not accept compensation from the manufacturers of the products he reviews in exchange for producing content.

Go to https://Surfshark.deals/mrmobile - Enter promo code MRMOBILE for 83% off and 3 extra months for free![MOBVOI TICWATCH PRO 5 REVIEW]Early in the smartwatch wars, a company called Mobvoi carved out a following with a wearable called the TicWatch: a smart, low-profile timepiece controlled by a clever capacitive touch strip on the side. Even after ditching its homegrown TicWear platform for Google’s Wear OS, Mobvoi kept the attention of enthusiasts – because every year, it was among the first to use Qualcomm’s newest wearable chipsets, and it was the only manufacturer (outside of Casio) offering a dual-layer display to help with battery life and daylight visibility.The TicWatch Pro 5 continues that tradition of hardware excellence … but it launches into a Wear OS world that’s oddly more fragmented than ever, and it debuts to an audience more skeptical than ever of Mobvoi’s commitment to its products. Is it worth paying the same as a Pixel Watch will cost you? I’m Michael Fisher and it’s time to find out.[SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT MRMOBILE'S MOBVOI TICWATCH PRO 5 REVIEW]This video was produced following several weeks with two TicWatch Pro 5 review samples provided by Mobvoi.

100 Miles On An E-Bike! Velotric T1 Review MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 2023-06-03 | For years, I didn’t understand the appeal of an e-bike. As a guy who didn’t get much exercise, bicycles were one of the few ways I could “work out” – and an electric bike sounded like it would take that exercise away from me.But as more electric options started to creep into the Citi Bike stands surrounding my south Brooklyn home, I started to understand that e-bikes don’t eliminate exercise; they just let you choose how much work you want to do. So when a company called Velotric invited me to test out a new e-road bike designed for “urban and beyond”… I decided to see just how far beyond I could go – with a two-day bike ride from my New York City apartment to my childhood home.I’m Michael Fisher and this is MrMobile’s 100-Mile Review of the Velotric T1!NOTE: Velotric changed the name of the e-bike following production. The official name as of 12 July 2023 is the "Velotric T1."[SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT MRMOBILE'S VELOTRIC T1 REVIEW]This video was produced following several weeks with a Velotric T1 E-Bike, with principal photography shot during a 100-mile ride from Brooklyn NY to Eastern Long Island, NY.

So when another nearly 200-year-old company offered to bring me to Texas to make the case that John Deere is just as much technology company as agricultural equipment wholesaler, I hid my hairdo beneath a farmer hat and used those phones to shoot the everloving hell outta some self-driving tractors. I’m Michael Fisher and this is Austin Texas, through the eyes of the Oppo Find X6 Pro and Xiaomi 13 Pro, on a MrMobile Road Trip Review!See the same trip from a different perspective (through a different set of lenses) in David Cogen's "Real World Test" at @theunlockr! youtu.be/4YbOP-JI4Gs[SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT OPPO FIND X6 / XIAOMI 13 PRO ROAD TRIP REVIEW]This video was produced following several months with a Xiaomi 13 Pro review sample and several weeks with an Oppo Find X6 Pro review sample, provided by their respective manufacturers.

Inside A Folding Phone: The Hinge That Helped Oppo Delete The Crease MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 2023-03-28 | “Will I hurt my folding phone if I flip it open as hard as I can?”“Why do different foldables have different-looking creases?”“How are folding phones even possible?”The answer to all these questions comes down, mostly, to the same ancient technology that makes your laptops, your cabinets … even your front door work: the good old-fashioned hinge. Recently, Oppo gave me the opportunity to learn everything I could learn about the hinges inside its Find N2 and Find N2 Flip folding phones – and today on Into The Fold, I’m taking an up-close look at them, to see what they can teach us about what it takes to fold a phone![SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT INTO THE FOLD EPISODE 13: HINGES!]This is the thirteenth in a series of episodes exploring the many facets of life on a folding screen.

Go to https://Surfshark.deals/mrmobile - Enter promo code MRMOBILE for 83% off and 3 extra months for free![HONOR MAGIC VS INITIAL REVIEW]Stop me if you've heard this one before: "great hardware, undone by under-done software."If that sounds like a line straight out of a Huawei phone review from 2016, well, that tracks. Because Honor began its corporate life as a youth-focused sub-brand of that now-beleaguered behemoth, and even though Honor is now an independent phone maker shipping its first global foldable (Google apps and all) … well, a lot of its software still feels stuck in Shenzhen. Still, it’s early software, and it’s a folding phone – from a brand that historically has competed on price. So the Honor Magic Vs might be an important step toward broader foldable adoption … if that price is right. From Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, I'm Michael Fisher – and this is MrMobile's initial review!(NOTE: MrMobile was informed late in the review process that the Honor Magic Vs software would receive an update before release. That update will address, among other things, the missing app drawer – though more details were not immediately available. If the Magic Vs user experience changes significantly in the time leading up to release, follow-up coverage may be warranted. Stay tuned!)[SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT MRMOBILE'S HONOR MAGIC VS FIRST-PASS REVIEW]This video was produced following twelve days with an Honor Magic Vs review sample provided by Honor and tested on Tello Mobile and Google Fi, in the United States and Spain.

Get premium phone service without the premium price today: http://mrmobile.tech/1Zv[ONEPLUS 11 REVIEW]Most smartphones follow a predictable path, which is to say: they evolve … linearly, year after year adding new features and capabilities until they're so capable there's not much more to improve upon.But as OnePlus has reminded us time and again: it does not make most smartphones. If you're a longtime OnePlus fan, you've seen major changes every single year: Sometimes it has wireless charging; sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes you can buy it at T-Mobile, sometimes not so much. The telephoto camera changes from 2x to 3x … back to 2x. The USB port on the power brick goes from A-type to C ... back to A. As we learned last year, even the signature alert slider isn't safe, having been deleted from the in-betweener OnePlus 10T, only to reappear here. How long will it stick around this time? Who knows.The good news? Despite the maddening inconsistency of the brand that built it, the OnePlus 11 is a very solid smartphone – with more positive than negative surprises hiding beneath its glossy surface.[SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT MRMOBILE’S ONEPLUS 11 REVIEW]MrMobile’s OnePlus 11 Review was produced following three weeks with a OnePlus 11 review sample provided by OnePlus.

Oppo Find N2 Review: A Foldable With Wide Appeal MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 2022-12-31 | There are two types of foldable phone that matter: large-format book-style folding tablets, and compact flip-style clamshells. Or at least, that was true until Oppo came along with a flexible-display smartphone that tried to carve out a space between.

Garmin MARQ Captain (Gen 2) Review: Sailor’s Delight MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 2022-11-25 | Today’s smartwatches are mostly lightweight plastic or glass lumps, usually strapped to the wrist with rubber or textile. They’re incredibly useful for on-the-go email slingers; they’re great fitness tools for people who prioritize their health … but a decade or so after they hit the mainstream, most smartwatches are (I think) fairly forgettable. Well, Garmin just loaned me a sample of the least-forgettable smartwatch I’ve ever worn. To test it, I flew it five time zones away to trial its Jet Lag Advisor; hiked at the highest elevation I’ve ever been to test its altimeter; and, well, just hung out by the water to see how well its nautical design blended with the maritime setting that inspired it. It’s too big for a lot of wrists and too expensive for almost everyone – but without that exclusivity, it wouldn't be "the Captain."

So I kinda feel like this is a case of in-for-a-penny, in-for-a-pound.” Well fortunately for fans of foldables, not everyone is such an absolutist. Xiaomi has somehow found a way to stuff bigger screens than the Galaxy Fold 4 into a phone that’s thinner than the Surface Duo 2 and sleeker than any other large-format foldable. It launched in China in August; I’ve been using it in New York since October; and today I’m taking it across the country for four days covering the MediaTek Summit in Sonoma California.

Go to https://Surfshark.deals/mrmobile - Enter promo code MRMOBILE for 83% off and 3 extra months for free![GOOGLE PIXEL WATCH REVIEW]The years since Google’s smartwatch platform hit the market back in 2014 have been … chaotic. In the face of lackluster demand after several generations of smartwatches, Android Wear would be rebranded to “Wear OS” and undergo a painful parade of reinventions, often hamstrung by underpowered silicon and inconsistencies across its various hardware partners. Samsung got so fed up with Wear OS that it pivoted to its own Tizen software to power its Galaxy Watches for several years, only recently having been wooed back. Pebble, the OG smartwatch maker, got bought by Fitbit – which in turn got scooped up by Google. And in the midst of all this upheaval, Apple just kept counting money, selling millions of Apple Watches across eight generations of slow but steady iteration.Flash forward to 2022 and the Pixel Watch is the smartwatch Google built to change all that. Like many first-generation products, it’s too expensive; it doesn’t do enough of what it promises; and it has no chance of living up to its hype. But it’s also proof positive that Google actually cares about smartwatches again.

Go to https://Surfshark.deals/mrmobile - Enter promo code MRMOBILE for 83% off and 3 extra months for free![MOTOROLA RAZR 2022 REVIEW]Motorola. Until Apple came along, no one mattered more in mobile than the company that built the first cellphone – and there was no phone more recognizable than the RAZR. That brand name redefined the first flip phones in 2004; it helped Android conquer the smartphone world in 2011; and it resurrected the flip phone in 2019 with the world’s first mass-market foldable (that also brought back the venerable brand name).But no amount of retro-futurism would hold off Samsung once the South Korean juggernaut decided it wanted a piece of the action. After a slow start with the Galaxy Z Flip, it went for the kill with the solid Z Flip 3 and excellent Galaxy Z Flip 4, each of which beat the Razr on the spec sheet and on the price list.For its part, Motorola kept the world waiting nearly two years for a response. And now that the phone is finally here, Motorola’s attitude seems to be: if you can’t resonate … emulate. I’m Michael Fisher and I’ve spent two months with the Motorola Razr 2022, a wide and weird effort to duplicate Samsung’s success – by copying the copycat.[SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT MRMOBILE’S MOTOROLA RAZR 2022 REVIEW]MrMobile’s Motorola RAZR 2022 Review was produced following two months with a China-market Motorola RAZR 2022 review sample (model XT2251-1) purchased by MrMobile’s publisher Future PLC.

So, it reinvented the wheel in the messy, chaotic way the best reboots happen: by blowing up the comfortable but calcified status quo in favor of a bolder if bumpier chance at something better. That was the Pixel 6, and this year’s Pixel 7 does exactly what it should about (most of) that phone’s bumps … while keeping the price of admission lower than most, and bundling the only camera I would have wanted for a once-in-a-lifetime Iceland vacation.

In fact, last year’s Galaxy Z Flip 3 got so much right that it went on to become the world’s most popular foldable – one that, after a year of use, I found lacking mainly in its battery life and camera. Did Samsung improve enough on those weaknesses to make the similarly-specced, identically-priced Galaxy Z Flip 4 the new clamshell cream of the crop?

But then maybe you notice the “4” at the end of these model names, or you end up in a bleary-eyed deep-dive into MrMobile's videos … and you realize that it was almost three years ago that I showed you how much Samsung’s first Galaxy Fold helped me search for my first New York City apartment. My time with that review device turned out to be so transformative that I bought my very own Galaxy Fold in January 2020, and two sequels later, I’ve never gone back to a conventional phone for my personal device. Today, it’s the Samsung Galaxy Fold 3 that’s helping me seek out a new Brooklyn apartment (if I can afford it) … and the Galaxy Flip 3 that helps me unwind when I need to close the lid on StreetEasy for a while.So yes, in this video I will share my first impressions after an hour with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4.

In “When Phones Were Fun,” Michael Fisher re-reviews cellphones from the golden age of mobile, the decade-long span from the turn of the century to approximately 2009.When Phones Were Fun: Episode 20 features a variety of Motorola V60 and V65 handsets contributed by a MrMobile viewer, as well as several V60 devices purchased by MrMobile. Portions of this video were filmed during a Motorola press briefing at Motorola headquarters in Chicago, for which Motorola provided travel, lodging and entertainment to members of the media (including MrMobile). However, Motorola was not given a preview or the ability to edit or approve this content before publication, nor did it provide compensation in exchange for this coverage. The lone sponsor of this video is the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States.[LINKS]RadioShack Catalog 2001 [RadioShackCatalogs.com]:radioshackcatalogs.com/flipbook/2001_radioshack_catalog.htmlAll Motorola V60 variants [PhoneScoop]:phonescoop.com/search/jump_search.php?q=v60Review of the Motorola V60g [Steve Punter’s Southern Ontario Cell Phone Page]:http://www.arcxsites.shh.net/MotorolaV60g.htmNokia 3310 Faceplates [Apex Cellular]:http://www.apexcellular.com/covers3310.htmJennifer Lopez – All I Have [YouTube]:youtu.be/yeSJ2YdhG5k"The Book of Joe" by Jonathan Tropper [Kindle]:amazon.com/Book-Joe-Novel-Jonathan-Tropper-ebook/dp/B000FC1B4CVerizon takes aim at Nextel with PTT launch [RCR Wireless]:rcrwireless.com/20030818/archived-articles/verizon-takes-aim-at-nextel-with-ptt-launchWhen seconds count: PTT players address latency issues [RCR Wireless]:rcrwireless.com/20030908/archived-articles/when-seconds-countMotorola V65p Hands-On [PhoneScoop]:phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=20&p=1425#gg=1732&gp=17020Motorola V60s Antenna Replacement [iFixit]:ifixit.com/Guide/Motorola+V60s+Antenna+Replacement/1740Mercedes-Benz First To Offer Motorola V60 Hands-Free Car System [auto123]:auto123.com/en/news/mercedes-benz-first-to-offer-motorola-v60-hands-free-phone-system/23572/?page=2An odd and obscure version of the Motorola V60, the v60v from Sprint [Reddit]:reddit.com/r/vintagemobilephones/comments/k5r3if/an_odd_and_obscure_version_of_the_motorola_v60Motorola to Return to Sprint Lineup [PhoneScoop]:phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=727[MUSIC]"Airport Lounges" by Nu Alkemi$t [Soundstripe]:app.soundstripe.com/songs/14743"Arcade Fire Red" by Reel Life [Soundstripe]:app.soundstripe.com/songs/12869"No One Around" by Strength To Last [Soundstripe]:app.soundstripe.com/songs/14529[CHAPTERS]00:00 Death to Cheap Plastic01:17 Small Phone, More Features03:04 Many Metal Motos07:40 Color Screens!08:30 PTT and the V6510:43 End of the Line[SOCIALIZE]facebook.com/themrmobileinstagram.com/themrmobiletwitter.com/themrmobiletwitter.com/captain2phoneshttps://mrmobile.tech[DISCLOSURES]This post may contain affiliate links, which afford Future plc a commission should you make a purchase.

The Dual-Screen Laptop Comes To 2022! ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED Review MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 2022-06-09 | Sponsored by Surfshark VPN. Go to https://Surfshark.deals/mrmobile - Enter promo code MRMOBILE for 83% off and 3 extra months for free![ASUS ZENBOOK PRO 14 DUO OLED REVIEW]When Apple announced its new MacBooks at WWDC earlier this week, I watched that announcement on a computer that does things no MacBook can. The new Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED from ASUS let me follow along with Apple’s announcement, while tweeting and taking notes, on two separate screens that live inside the same petite portfolio.And yet, if anything this new Zenbook amplifies the similarities between ASUS and Apple. Each manufacturer is refining what worked on its last generation of laptops, sanding over the rough edges to drop something fresh for 2022. And with the newest Pro Duo, the result is a familiar Zenbook that still manages to take dual displays to a new level. (You’ve just gotta be cool with a few crucial compromises.)[SUBSCRIBE TO MRMOBILE]https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSOp...[ABOUT MRMOBILE’S ASUS ZENBOOK PRO 14 DUO OLED REVIEW]MrMobile’s ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED Review was produced following over three weeks with a Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED review sample (model UX8402ZE) provided by ASUS.MrMobile does not accept compensation from the manufacturers of the products he reviews in exchange for producing content.

MacBook Pro 16 (2021) Review: Seven Months On The Max MrMobile [Michael Fisher] 2022-06-03 | Sponsored by dbrand. Dbrand your devices with custom leather skins here: dbrand.com//mrmobile-leather[MACBOOK PRO 16" - 2021 M1 MAX EDITION REVIEW]The Apple MacBook Pro 16 (2021) has been my main machine for the past seven months. It’s not polished. It’s not pretty. It’s got grease on the keycaps, a tattered folding stand on the bottom, and a worn leather skin on top. It’s traveled tens of thousands of miles with me, and it’s produced every one of the MrMobile videos I’ve uploaded since I bought it (including this one). While I prefer other laptops for play, 2021’s MacBook Pro is an indispensable tool for my work – the best I’ve ever used. Join me to see why, in MrMobile's MacBook Pro 2021 Review.[ABOUT MRMOBILE’S MACBOOK PRO 16" - 2021 M1 MAX EDITION REVIEW]This review was produced following seven months with a 16" MacBook Pro 2021 (M1 Max Edition) purchased by MrMobile's publisher Future PLC.
