My new Samsung Galaxy S22 plus Phantom white 256gb

SAMSUNG Galaxy S22 Ultra Cell Phone, Factory Unlocked Android Smartphone, 256GB, 8K Camera & Video, Brightest Display Screen, S Pen, Long Battery Life, Fast 4nm Processor, US Version, Burgundy

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I bought the Samsung Galaxy S22 plus around a week ago and have been using it for work and play. Before that, I bought iPhone 13. My first iPhone since my last iPhone 8 several years ago. Yes, now I owned and have been using both of them at the same time.

Why just use one phone when you can use both with different OS and UI aka user interface!? Both of them have their cons and pro. For the Samsung android phone, I like just putting my most used app icons near the bottom side. While for the iPhone 13, I don't mind all the main apps covering the home screen.

The Android OS is more flexible and you can install practically anything on it. While on the iPhone it's very rigid. You'll have to go through loops just to install the same app readily available in the Google play store. For example, I like using the app, "Termux" which is like a Linux terminal on your phone.

Termux is not available for the iPhone. Luckily, there's another app that is similar to it called, iSH. You can download it from the App store. Termux allows you to install python 2.7 and use it within the terminal. But, you can't update to the latest version.

I must admit, although I didn't like the iPhone notch, I find myself enjoying using the phone as a whole. Maybe, I haven't owned an iPhone for a while but it certainly felt different. Later on, when I got my Samsung S22+ I felt the compelling urge to use it more than the iPhone.

I have given my Samsung Note 10+ to my mom. The S22+ doesn't have an S pen, like the Note 10+. So, I'll be missing it. It's fun to write or draw on your phone using an S-Pen. Though I have to admit, I seldom use it. One thing both the iPhone 13 and S22+ have is a good camera.

To me, both of the cameras are good. I like how easy and quickly it is to edit the pictures using the iPhone editor after you have taken the photo. You can of course do that too with the S22+. But, you need to reach out to the top while the iPhone is readily available below.

I mostly post my pictures on my Instagram and they'll also be posted on my Twitter and Facebook accounts. Normally, I'll use Instagram picture filters. But, I find if I use the iPhone or Samsung editor, I won't use the filters by Instagram.

I didn't have the budget, if not, I would have gone for both the Samsung & iPhone pros version. Simply because they have bigger screens and better camera capabilities. I like both the OS and user interface. Each has its own uniqueness.

Both of these phones have their own fan base. I'm pretty much in the middle. I like using anything and everything that is new in tech. I hope one day, Apple will finally get rid of the stupid notch and embrace full screen. Just like the Samsung android phone.

my S22 plus Samsung Dex with dex pad to monitor kitchen table setup

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I bought a new kitchen table and thought I'll re-set up and use my old dex pad linking to a monitor that I already have on the wall. I had to search around for my USB-A to USB-C cable and just re-used the HDMI cable to connect.

The Dex pad still works fine even after not using it, I think, for almost 3 years. I even forget that I can connect my wired mouse and keyboard to it. If you don't want messy cables, Bluetooth is the way to go. But, if you already have an extra mouse and keyboard, might as well use 'em.

A couple years back, I tested my dex pad with a portable monitor, using it as a PC or laptop. I was testing it with my Samsung S10 or was it the S10 plus. You can connect the Xbox controller via Bluetooth and play some games that have controller support.

I haven't checked out any new latest mobile games but games that have controller support are far and few between back then. Games that do are fun to play with a real controller instead of the touch. Though the funny thing is now, I don't mind touch control. 



Xbox Core Wireless Controller + USB-C Cable – Carbon Black

Remember, you can only use an Xbox controller that has Bluetooth you can connect to your phone. Those old controller doesn't have them. Some of my youtube channel video viewers didn't know that. Asking me how I connect to my phone.

That is one of the reasons I like android phones. I especially like Samsung because of  Samsung Dex and the dex pad. But, now you don't need a dex pad to connect to a computer or laptop. But, if you want to connect to a Tv or monitor, you'll need something like the dex pad.

Samsung actually had the Ubuntu for Android project but they shelve it later on. It was pretty interesting and fun to play around with. You can check out my video for Linux on dex beta here. Too bad you can't play with them anymore.

Razer Project Linda was interesting too. You can use the Razer phone which doesn't exist anymore and use it with a laptop shell. Razer shelves their mobile department. Not sure why. I kinda like it. But, it had lots of problems. You can check out my unboxing video here.

There was a Samsung DexBook aka lapdock concept that looks pretty cool. You can check out the video I did on it here. The website that hosts the concept doesn't exist anymore though. Too bad, Samsung wasn't interested to create it. I would have bought it.

I created a poll asking if anyone would be interested in it and got a good response. Samsung decided to create a laptop that's more mobile. I think they used a mobile processor. I don't understand why there's no big company interested in a lap dock. The Linda Project and Samsung DexBook were a cool idea!

Will they sell? I'm pretty sure it will. Mobile phones are getting more powerful. Even on par with some laptops. Okay, not those high-end gaming laptops. Everyone has a mobile phone. They use it for pretty much everything nowadays. Why not create a lapdock to expand its usage?

my new blue iphone 13 256gb #iPhone #iPhone13 #samsung

Apple iPhone 12, 64GB, Blue - Unlocked (Renewed Premium)
(All links will open up in a new tab.)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I was looking to buy a second phone and decided to get the latest iPhone 13. My nephews and nieces have been using the iPhone 12, and I wasn't impressed with it. I still hate the notch, so I stuck with my Samsung Note 10+.

Since I wanted a second phone for cycling that I could use Google Maps on, I decided, what the heck, I might as well get a rather good phone that I can also use daily. Although I hate the notch, I was curious how good the latest iPhone is with the latest A15 bionic chips.

Apple iPhone 12, 64GB, Blue - Unlocked (Renewed Premium)

My last iPhone was the iPhone 8. I've loved the iPhone since the first day Steve Jobs announced it. When Apple didn't want to get rid of the notch, I decided to get back to Samsung. One of the things I like about the iPhone is that it has a good camera and the app iMovie.

I love using the iMovie and even though, I have a Samsung phone, I'll rather use the iPad camera and edit it using what else, iMovie. On Android phones, the only video editing software I like is Quik. It's free, easy to edit, and has no stupid watermarks.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max, 256GB, Pacific Blue - Unlocked (Renewed Premium)

I have been using my new iPhone 13 as my main phone for a week now and I like it. I still prefer the notch to go away, but other than that, I have no problem checking out Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media.

Of course, I also love to play some of my favorite games on it. For now, I just prefer using touch control. If you have been following my blog, you'll know I hate playing games with touch control. Nowadays, you can play some games with an Xbox One S controller.

You can watch me playing Street Fighter mobile with an Xbox controller here. For stardew gameplay, watch it here. If you want to know how to connect your mobile phone to an Xbox One S controller, watch it here. Please like, share, and subscribe!

As you can see, playing mobile games can be more fun using a controller. We are all used to playing our favorite FPS, RPG, and other games with a controller. We can even play with our eyes closed. You can't do that with touch games.

I don't like putting or using widgets on my phone's screen. Preferably, my main page is clean with only a few apps. For my iPhone though, I let it slide. I check out some widgets and don't see the point as my app icons are already easily accessible.

When you slide to the left, you can put all the widgets that you want for a quick glance. I seldom check them out and again, what's the point? Others might like it though. I discovered that I can play with the Alpine Linux terminal with the ISH and Python3IDE app on my iPhone 13!

my new magene c406 gps bike computer speed cadence sensors and accessories

Magene C406 Bike Computer with Holder, Waterproof GPS Cycling Computer, Wireless Smart Road Bicycle Monitor, 2.5 Inch LCD Screen

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I finally got myself a better bike computer for my Java Veloce road bike. Not saying that my 'old' cheap speedometer isn't good. But, the magene c406 offers more data than I ever wish for. You can watch the #shorts video of my cheap speedometer here.

Yes. After thinking of going for the Xoss G+ bike computer, I decided to instead go for the Magene C406. I watched a youtube video where the guy compared both of them and I thought the bigger screen and ability to see more data analytics would be better (for me).

I might not be a pro cyclist but I like the idea of being able to see more data on screen and later on analytics of my performances. I'm also not saying the C406 is better than the Xoss G+. It's a personal preference. Some might prefer the smaller size Xoss. 

In the beginning, all I wanted to know was how fast I was going or able to go on my bike. That's why I bought the cheaper type. After a while of cycling, I'm now interested to know more about my cycling ability. One thing, I know now is that I can go the distance.

I think cycling every day to work actually helps me maintain my leg strength and stamina. Although, it's just a short distance. Because of the difference in gradients, going to work takes a little more work than going home. I didn't know it at first though.

I was a little afraid at first to go further and didn't want to end up poops out in the middle of nowhere. I waited until there was a long weekend holiday to try it out. Surprisingly, I managed to go way over 100km and didn't even feel that tired.

As I've said, I'm not a professional cyclist, and joining the competition. Pretty much doing it for leisure. I also have a slipped disc and bad knees. I'm also not that young. I'm not planning to go all out and hurt myself while cycling. There have been too many bike accidents lately involving old gen cyclists.

If I hurt myself, I'm not going to have any kind of medical support unlike the pros do. I don't think in my old age, I could heal better or much faster. Just a reminder to myself and those old gen cyclists. I heard one of my old ex-colleague was involved in a cycling accident and bed-ridden in hospital. 



Magene P325CS Crankset with Rechargeable Power Meter for Cycling, Dual Side Crank Based Bike Power Meter Power Sensor

I decided to go for the Magene C406 packaged with two sensors. One for speed and the other one for cadence. I didn't know anything about the power meters until I saw the Magene P325CS crankset with a rechargeable power meter.

You can still know your average power on the C406 screen. You can choose between 3 screen setups. I'm not sure how you can change it but at the moment, I just use the right button to switch between them. I prefer one with the time but it doesn't show other data that I wanted at a glance.

Check out my new Magene C406 road bike computer pics below:

I've only downloaded the apps Onelap and link with Strava. Link and bind the sensors etc. You should definitely read and follow the simple instructions included. I did one funny thing putting on the casing the back to front. No wonder the button was on the wrong side. Silly me.

Can't wait to try the bike computer with the two sensors!
