What is your opinion on the google camera comparing to the nokia 7 plus??? (In my opinion the nokia camera was realy good.) Is it coping well with the daily use??? I kept my nokia 7 plus for 5-6 years so my goal is to do the same with the next one, unless nokia launches a new one that i love more than the google one. My nokia was water damaged with sea salt water, the screen was replaced a couple years ago so the protection it had against water is not there anymore... i really loved my nokia 7 plus... it was almost brand new in terms of exterior and it was still smooth to use , its a shame really...

Nokia fan, 06 Aug 2023What if I don't have the device to review because of f... moreAnother thing you can do is narrow down the subject matter of your blog, like reviewing a specific brand only, like Nokia for instance, since you call yourself a Nokia fan. That way you will have to buy less phones, only every phone that Nokia releases. Yes, you will have less audience that way, but if you do things right you may get yourself a bunch of dedicated Nokia followers. Then, after you get a sure footing and improve your finances, slowly add a second brand, like Sony for example. The competition in tech review blogging is as tough as the competition of the phone brands, that is why you may need to be different and carve yourself a niche. If there are lesser number of reviews for Nokia, Sony and HTC you need to go there instead of getting lost amongst reviews of numerous Chinese brands. Hope that helps.

Im looking for a new phone to replace my nokia 7 plus that stopped working after 5-6 years of use. Im between the nokia x30 and the google pixel 6a, both for 350€. I take a lot of photos so that is important for me as well as durability, i want to keep the phone for another 5 years or more. In terms of use i dont play games, so its just youtube, social media and google. Which one would you buy???

That would be pretty much the only thing i could think of. Well nobody said, it is easy😏. Probably, there are other better ways but i do not know them.

Nokia doesn't sell X30, G42, G60 in Vietnam. They leave Vietnam with cheap phones (G22, C32...), with Unisoc chip. Very disappointed.

Nokia fan, 05 Aug 2023Hi everyone, I'm a teenager, I want to start a YouTube... moreI would say that if you want to get noticed in the floaded world of "tech reviewers" it is not to much about how new the device is, but more about how you present it and how many people are interested in it. Infinix might be ok, for the starters, but you need known brands and hidden gems to come "out of the dark".
Some advice from me
1. Microphone is is VERY important, never use the camera microphone nor a crappy microphone, never use a crappy camera, use a lot of light and be charismatic. If you do not know what that is, learn. Many people will skip the video if sound or camera are trash. Inform yourself about some good quality office mics that do not break the bank. For the camera you do not need the latest and greatest, but a good one and that's it.
2. There are two ways to review a device:
a. The in-depth tech review that nobody does (and seems that nobody can).
b. The typical "this is how it looks" review done by most reviewers that cannot bother to even look into settings, or well, actually have no idea about tech.
My advice would be, don't do it like everyone else, learn about tech, networks, how they work and how to protect yourself from spying, then learn how to implement that in a smartphone, then sum it up in small comprehensive tests for the avarage joe to understand. Use the device for at least a week and find it's strengths and faults, compare with other and let people decide what is best, don't be a sell out or biased. If you encounter things in a devices that you do not like, enter settings and see if you can change that, talk about it. Talk about workarounds in every device. Talk about software and bloatware, real pros and real cons. Everybody knows what hardware the device has, so talk about speeds, performance and everyday usage, not about how this and that is worthy because is cheapper and has better paper specs. Paper spec do not tell the story, teach yourself tech and teach others tech. Be true to what you love, and if tech is what you love, you will eventually come out from the dark in quite bright light. If you get high enough, companies will come to you to buy you, well don't do that, don't slip into making money fast parade, you will lose in the long run.
A tip from me, scan device activity on a network with rethink dns. Will give you some indeph info about where your devices connect's weather you use it, or not. At the beginning, it might be confusing and much, with time you will learn tough what's genuine connection and what's suspect. Hope it helped✌️.

Tech chen, 02 Aug 2023Hi guys, looking to buy this phone. Love to hear or know ab... moreHey.
1. Camera quality is really good, it does tough has an agressve post processing when HDR auto is activ, when shooting landscapes, nothing that can't be fixed, some people might actually like it. In night time, shines the camera even more, great outdoor/indoor pics.
2. The speaker is loud enough, never had problems with that. Some people complain about white noise comming out of it when low valumes, i my self, do not have it, or is not loud enough to care about. So i find the speaker quality to be good, but then again, i do not listen to music on a phone cause i find it annoying no matter the phone. If you are a fan of that stuff, maybe poxel 7 is a better choice, but just maybe...
3. I get around 2 days and a half, with normal usage, 6 to 7 hours SOT. When using mobile data for longer periods, it does go down to 1,5 days - 2 days tops. But i rarely have less then 20 percent left when i charge it again. Using the device without stop, it will deplete the battery in about 11 Hours, from 100 to 10 percent.
4. Brightness is good, 700nits is not something to write home about, but is good enough to read on screen in a full sunny day without issues.
5. I do not know of any nokia having issues with any carrier in the world, but as i do not live in that region, i will say, that i do not know for sure.
Maybe there are some pople here that come from the region and use this device, of course i mean real users not trolls like imbuwaka.

Hi everyone, I'm a teenager, I want to start a YouTube channel, a tech YouTube channel, but I am a bit confused, because I want to start on the 11 of August, and I was wondering if the infinix gt10 pro would be too old to review by then, I've been working around the clock with sleepless nights and I want to start the tech channel, so I want your help and advice. I also wanna say that I would not own all the devices that I will review, I'll just give my honeat opinions and tech tips and also comparisons too.
So please help me with any advice you have.
Thank you

MakeNokiaGreatAgain, 03 Aug 2023Do you even have Nokia X30? Have you made extensive camera ... moreI am a Nokia fan and own a lot of devices produced by HMD Global: XR21, X30, XR20, X20, 8.3, 9 PureView, T20, 2660.
Nokia branded devices certainly get a hard time from reviewers where other brands would get a pass (increasingly they just ignore them completely), but it is not true to say present day Nokia devices are in any way camera kings.
The exception would be the 9 PureView which is truly excellent for those who know how to post-process RAW files, even with the camera instability and poor battery life.
You can still get good results from the cameras, from my experience with the XR21 and seeing photos captured with the G42, HMD seem to be on the right track in terms of their image processing algorithms. Likewise the X30 does a great job with night modes.
However, there are big limitations: when was the last time a telephoto camera was included on a Nokia branded device? The digital zoom capabilities are terrible even at 2x. Likewise, the last device to support 4K recording was the 3 year old 8.3. The X30 is the first device they have included OIS in for many years too.
