Pebble Time 2: Retro Antidote to Corporate Smartwatches
The Pebble Time 2 is a little slice of 2016 brought a decade into the future. It's not perfect by a long shot, but I think it *is* the perfect antidote to a smartwatch landscape that's become a bit corporate and predictable. My review is live now on the MrMobile YouTube channel. Come hang in the live chat for the premiere at 8p ET! https://youtu.be/4sLs2bPxwUU
Candela Camera Adds Character, Not Perfection, to Phone Photos
Been casually testing Candela Camera on my Razr Ultra review sample this holiday weekend. I've found it to be a fun way to take photos that don't look as phone-like (paradoxically, because in most respects they're "worse" than the HDR-heavy...

For those waiting for the Clicks Communicator who think Q4 can't come soon enough (I know, same here) ... @clickskeys just shared a wonderful video that describes the design process, and why we're not just re-building the BlackBerry for 2026. https://youtu.be/fLwi43Tcaj8

WebView: A Stripped‑down Browser that Hurts UX
WebView ruins everything. Why and when did we decide that a stripped-down sucky browser running inside an app was better than just opening Chrome?
Gboard Looks Denser on Razr Fold Than Other Devices
I feel like I should know the answer to this, but: Can someone explain to me why the Gboard layout is so much denser on Razr Fold (L) vs my Galaxy Fold7 (R)? I've tried changing the Razr's display size, font...
John Ternus Brings Authentic Leadership to Apple
Pleased to see John Ternus taking the reins at Apple. When I interviewed him in 2024 he seemed much more straightforward and (for lack of a better term) "real" than many other tech executives I'd encountered. https://youtu.be/QQk7KKQ8jTo?si=GCIota5EChvLyn2R&t=606
Xiaomi 17 Ultra Proves “Leica Phone” Concept Viable
Until recently, I'd have called it a cynical cash grab – but after two weeks with this special-edition Xiaomi 17 Ultra, the idea of a "Leica Phone" finally makes sense to me. Join me in the live chat for my first...
Turn Off Unwanted AI Summaries in Evernote
Same with Evernote. You used to be able to search for a word in your notes and it would work like anything else. Now you need to wait for AI to generate a useless summary you didn't ask for. Thankfully,...

Nostalgic Phone Geek Revels in Deep Spec Delight
For a certain kind of phone geek, this is incredible. Reminds me of the glory days of deep-in-the-weeds mobile spec blogging. (It's me. I'm the certain kind of phone geek.)
2026's 4‑inch Modular Android Phone Finally Arrives
This will take some getting used to 😄 The iKKO MindOne Pro is a tiny smartphone with some big promises, like an "AI OS" and "built-in global internet" via virtual SIM. As you might expect, I'm far more interested in the basics....
Galaxy S26 Ultra Shines Thanks to Hardware, Not AI
The best part of the Galaxy S26 Ultra isn't the AI; it's the hardware. And given Samsung's history, that should come as no surprise. My 10-day review is up! Join me in the live chat for the Premiere: https://youtu.be/d6SPfWamurY
Blip: Fast AirDrop Alternative for Mac‑Android Transfers
This is great to see – but while you wait, Blip (blip.net) is a fantastic AirDrop alternative. I use it between my MacBook and Android phones and it's, like, startlingly fast. (Shoutout to @waveformpodcast for putting me onto it!)
