(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.

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.

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!

Powkiddy X18 - The New Nintendo 3DS XL that I Had Always Wanted!

Powkiddy X18 Handheld Games Console 2-Player Video Game Machine 5.5-Inch WiFi

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yes, I'm still going to talk about Powkiddy X18. It's because I'm still messing around with it. Well, yesterday night, I took out my retro ROMs MicroSD card from my Android tablet and put it into my X18. I forget how big the storage was until I realized it contains all my ROMs, music, pictures, etc.

Since I seldom use my tablet anymore, might as well used it on my X18. Anyway, retro gaming or any kind of gaming is much more fun with a physical controller. And, the X18 comes integrated with one. With a couple of thousands of retro games available, this is becoming my ultimate retro gaming system.



Powkiddy X18 Handheld Games Console 2-Player Video Game Machine 5.5-Inch WiFi

• Android 7.0 handheld game console, opening a new era of the game, supporting the 17th National Congress simulator, dual joystick controller. Massive applications are available for download, support PC version 3A masterpiece, support Android games. Built-in game spelling list, chicken simulator, grid cloud game, PSP.
• HDMI connection comes with C-TYPE, HDMI interface, can be directly connected to the TV with the corresponding interface, projector, monitor for games, after pre-installed TV LAUNCH can be used as a WIFI network set-top box with WIFI DISPLAY (need to connect smart TV or DONGLE).
• Independent sound cavity design, immersive sound field, take you to experience smart music. Support 32G TF card expansion, HDMI high-definition interface, can support link high-definition TV, support Bluetooth link handle (can match PS-4 direct play handle).
• Long-lasting battery life, 5000mAh large-capacity battery adopts a lithium polymer battery with a capacity of 5000mAh. The battery is smaller in size and lighter in weight and can be used more times.
• CPU: MTK 8163, quad-core A53 64-bit processor 1.3GHz. Memory: 2GDDR3+16GB EMMC. Battery: 5000 mAh.

The funny thing is that the form factor design is obviously copied from the Nintendo 3DS. I make a quick physical comparison on my unboxing video. You can watch it here. I wish they copied everything though. Like a second screen, a stylus pen, and the camera.

Back in the day, I wish they'll improve on the NN3DS XL. Especially, the graphics. I remember watching youtube on it but now you can't. I still have it so, not being able to watch youtube kinda sucks. I can't quite remember if you can browse the Internet or do social media back then.



New Nintendo 2DS XL - Black + Turquoise With Mario Kart 7 Pre-installed - Nintendo 2DS

Now, I have the Nintendo Switch lite but as much as I love it, I'll always feel something missing. Yes, that's the part the Powkiddy X18 or the GPD XD Plus can fill it up. The difference with the X18 is that it uses Android O.S. which is like a lighter version of Microsoft Windows.

I don't really game all the time. I check my emails, read up on news, do research on Google, messaging, voice messages, video call my family and friends with Whatsapp, watch youtube, listen to music and social media. You know, the everyday thingy. 



GPD XD Plus [Official distributor, Latest HW & Most Stable Update] Foldable Handheld Game Consoles 5" Touchscreen, Android 7.0 Fast Mediatek MT8176 Hexa-core 2.1GHz CPU, 4GB RAM/32GB ROM

Yes, I know. I already do all that on my Samsung Note 10+. In fact, I even have my Blackberry used as my second phone. Now, I consider the Powkiddy X18 as my main device to do all that. I even use it occasionally to Whatsapp my family and close friend.  

That's why I wish the X18 has a camera like mine 3ds xl. I would have used it for video calls. Imagine, if the X18 also has a second screen, you can use it for a touchscreen keyboard or touchpad. That big empty space in between the controller is such a waste of space.

If you want something light and portable for entertainment and social media, you don't need Microsoft Windows software. I used to hate the early version of Android, now, you can do everything as if you're using a Windows PC. The best part that the mobile phone and a laptop don't have is the integrated controller.

The integrated controller is what makes the difference. That's why I love gaming on my Nintendo Switch and NN3DS XL. Even if you don't like the integrated controller you can buy an external controller. But, the important thing is that there's an integrated one for on-the-go gaming!

The Powdiddy X18 and the GPD XD Plus though also lets you use it as a mini laptop. It's what I had always wanted to do on my NN3DS XL years ago. And, even on my Switch lite now. But, if they put a second touchscreen/touchpad and a camera for video-calling, it'll be 90% perfect!

SmileBASIC 3ds on Samsung Note 10+ with Citra NDS emulator - works with S PEN!

Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con - HAC-001(-01)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I love playing around with SmileBASIC 4 (Nintendo eShop). It's a great software to learn to code on the go. It's available for the Nintendo Switch. You can dock your Switch like a desktop computer and code away. The good thing is that it has mouse & keyboard support.

I didn't really know that there was a Smilebasic NDS (Nintendo eShop) version until much later. I think because it's only released in Japan and Europe or Australia. Although I already have a Nintendo Switch or rather Switch lite version. Sometimes, I felt like it'll be cool if I can play it on my computer.



Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con - HAC-001(-01)

Yesterday, I decided to look into my collections of NDS Roms to see if I actually downloaded the software before. Nope. As usual, Google is your friend. So, I did a quick search and actually found a website that has the Smilebasic for NDS.

I thought the rom will automatically work with Retroarch. Apparently, you need to download the Citra NDS emulator. You also need to decrypt the software before able to play it. I'm not sure if I can share it, that's why I'm not linking directly. You can easily find more information via Google search.

I tried it out on my computer and was really excited to play an NDS version of smilebasic. The NDS version is actually a little different than the latest SmileBASIC 4. I've noticed it when I was searching around to learn how to code on my Switch lite.

It's a little funny to me that I learned to code on SmileBASIC 4 before on the NDS version. Which is more updated. But, in spite of that, I still managed to get used to the latter version. That's when I thought, wouldn't it be cool if I can play it on the go on my Samsung Note plus?

I did a quick search on the Google play store and found an Android version of the Citra NDS emulator. Download it, find my smilebasic 3ds file on my phone and load it. The software load pretty quickly without any problem. You can imagine how ecstatic I was that it actually works.

I was already wondering if I can use my Note 10+ S Pen with the smilebasic software. It'll be just like playing on my 3DS. If you're thinking of course it'll work, not really. There are some or mostly retro NDS games that don't work with an S Pen. I've tried it. Although, now I'll want to test it again.



Nintendo Switch Lite - Zacian and Zamazenta Edition, Gray - UK Version

Well, I spend the night playing with the smilebasic 3ds and also checking out what the Citra NDS emulator features are. I think it's still in beta mode. You can view the smilebasic horizontally or vertically. You can hide the on-screen controller inlay, resize it or change the layout. 

One thing though, unlike SmileBASIC4, you can't use it with a mouse and keyboard. I haven't tried out any other NDS games on it. Can't seem to find my MicroSD card location. I discovered just now that the emulator eats a lot of my resources. My device assistant pop up and advice me to kill it. 



Nintendo New 2DS XL - Black + Turquoise

I thought that I've closed the program after playing with it. Seems like as long as you don't close it, it'll run and eat up your phone resources without you knowing it. Maybe, that's why the smilebasic software suddenly went blank on me at one time.

I'm still not sure why the smilebasic 3ds won't open in Retroarch. The Citra emulator is available on the PC version but I can't find it on the android version. I also tried using a different NDS emulator but they don't work. Seems like it only works with Citra.

For now, I'm just happy that I can play around with smilebasic for 3ds on my Note 10+. It's also a plus that I can use my S Pen with it. Since I've played around with SmileBASIC4 on my Switch lite, I won't have a problem with the slight differences. If only there's a smilebasic for Android gaming!

Nintendo Switch Dock With Cooling Fan

Switch Dock, TV Projection Charging Dock for Switch, Cooling Fan Compact 4K HDMI Adapter, Portable Switch Charging Stand, Switch Docking Station USB 3.0

Hey guys,

Quick promo!

I was browsing through Amazon looking for any new accessories for my Nintendo Switch lite and I discovered this third party Nintendo Switch dock. One thing I really like is the fan. Which I realized is pretty important if you game for a long period of time.

The other day, I was making a video on gaming for a mobile phone. I wanted to show that you can play Grid Autosport(android) on a PC. I was only playing it for a while but suddenly, my phone pops up with a message that my phone was too hot and it'll automatically kill the game to cool it down.



Switch Dock, TV Projection Charging Dock for Switch, Cooling Fan Compact 4K HDMI Adapter, Portable Switch Charging Stand, Switch Docking Station USB 3.0

• [Desktop Mode & TV Output Mode] Multiple USB ports and can support various devices. A button on the dock allows you to switch between desktop mode and TV output mode. In desktop mode, you can play while charging. In TV mode, you can experience the game with your friends and family on a big screen. Please use the original Switch AC adapter to power it.
• [Compact Size & Cooling Fan] Our Switch dock is small and convenient to carry. With a cooling fan, the heat is completely diffused into the air. There is no need to worry about overheating during charging or gaming.
• [Using Genuine Firmware] We understand customers’ concerns. A safety guarantee is the most important thing when choosing a product. Our goods use the same firmware as the original dock. It can be used safely, and won't brick the Switch console. There is no USB cable or HDMI cable with the dock. Please use the official AC adapter.
• [Protect your Switch & Non-Slip Design] Perfect design that protects your Switch console and it won’t scratch your screen. The non-slip base design prevents it from sliding around or falling over by accident.
• [Customer Service] We provide high-quality after-sales service. If you have any concerns or questions about our products, please feel free to contact us!

When I play games on my Nintendo Switch lite, even just watching youtube videos, it does feel warms at the back. The good thing about my Samsung Note 10+ is that it's build-in with Device care. It probably monitored that my phone is getting too hot so it killed the game.

This is actually the first time it ever happens. Kinda weird as I've been gaming on my phone for almost a year plus without any problem. Anyway, I have a small USB Fan, so I use it to cool the phone down. I also use it to cool my Switch lite if I play with an external controller or now,  with mouse and keyboard.



Wireless Switch Pro Controllers, PXN 9607X Remote Pro Controller Gamepad for Nintendo Switch/Switch Lite, Supports NFC/Amibo, Turbo, Screenshot, Gyro Axis and Dual Vibratio, Switch Controller Joypad(Blue)

Frankly, I don't know why Nintendo didn't design a better Nintendo Switch dock. It's all covered, front and back. Would appreciate it if there's a built-in fan too. Funny, you need a third-party company to think for their customer. 

I'm not sure if this featured Nintendo Switch dock with a cooling fan can fit the Switch lite. Even though my Switch lite can't link to a Tv but being able to charge and game at the same time will be cool. No pun intended. The dock comes with a cooling fan, get it? 

Of course, there are many types of designs of Nintendo Switch/lite dock. But, I'll advise you to get a dock with a fan. So that you can game without worrying your system getting overheat like my phone. Even then, there won't be any message popping up to tell you to stop playing!

Apple Watch Series 6 GPS GOLD Aluminium unboxing inside a car

New Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS, 44mm) - (PRODUCT)RED - Aluminum Case with (PRODUCT)RED - Sport Band

Hey guys,

Check it out!

So, I followed my Sis and her daughter aka my niece to an Apple Store (Amazon) because she was interested in getting an Apple watch. She actually told me she was thinking of getting one a couple weeks back. Apparently, she already makes up her mind to get it last Friday.

As we are still in a pandemic it was kind of a hassle. Our temperatures were taken and we had to 'log in' via a government app. In the case of Coronavirus Covid-19 infection, it'll be easy to be notified and contact tracing. Pretty nifty. Currently though, last I check the news, there was zero infection in the community.



New Apple Watch Series 6 (GPS, 44mm) - (PRODUCT)RED - Aluminum Case with (PRODUCT)RED - Sport Band

While I was there, I took a look at some of Apple's other products. I had to wait until my niece is done with her purchase to finally be allowed to take a quick look at the iPhone 12 and Apple's new M1 laptop. If you had read my last post, you'll know that I wasn't impressed with the iPhone 12 design.

It's a different matter though when you have the chance to take a closer look at it. I actually like the metallic frame. And the phone seems fast. It still has the stupid notch. My niece told me, you'll get used to it. No, I don't want to get used to it.



Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Factory Unlocked Cell Phone with 256 GB (U.S. Warranty), Aura Black/ Note10+

When Apple announced the iPhone X, I was so disappointed, that I got myself the Samsung Note 10+. My last iPhone was the iPhone 8+. Which, I actually loved. Since I really need it for taking videos and editing via the iMovie app. 

I had to look for something as good and free equivalent to the iMovie. Thank goodness I found Quik. A free video editing software for the Android OS. Pretty much a lifesaver. My niece Apple Watch Series 6
the unboxing video was taken with my Note 10+ and edited via Quik.



Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS, 38MM) - Space Gray Aluminum Case with Black Sport Band (Renewed)

I haven't got a chance to really play and take a closer look at my niece's Apple Watch 6 series but it really got me intrigued. I did saw her talking to her watch, so that's something useful. If your phone in your pocket, you can link it up and don't have to take out your phone when someone called.

There are many times at work when my hands are all dirty or I missed a call because I couldn't hear the music or even the phone vibration. You can even control your Spotify music via the watch. Checking the message or notifications on the watch makes everything easier.

Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G | SM-F916N 256GB | Factory Unlocked - Korean International Version (Mystic Bronze)

If I can get my hands on both the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 2, I'll definitely be more than happy. Probably, two of the interesting products that I want to try out. That's why I'm disappointed with Apple. All they do is increment upgrades.

FAIL! This is iPhone 12 Pro Apple

Apple iPhone 11, 128GB, Black - Fully Unlocked (Renewed)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Fail! Fail! Fail! 

How many of you guys thought the same thing, that Apple fails with their 'latest' iPhone 12? Might as well they call it Apple retro!? I really believe, Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave right now. They have been doing the same thing over and over again.

I have owned several iPhones and my last one was the iPhone 8. Love that phone to bits. I used to take pictures and also videos for my Youtube channel. I love editing it with the free iMovie app. That's the only app I used and prefer.



Apple iPhone 11, 128GB, Black - Fully Unlocked (Renewed)

I switched to Samsung S10+ from Razer gaming phone and then now to my Note 10+. The Note 10 plus is super-great. I love the S Pen that you can use for writing and drawing. If you like playing those de-stress coloring game for adults, it's more fun using the pen.

One thing I really do miss when using an Apple iPhone is the iMovie app. On Android, I've looked and tried every video editing apps there is and they all sucks. I especially hate those that have watermarks or ads. Lucky for me, I found the GoPro: Quik (Google play store) video editor. 



Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Plus Factory Unlocked Cell Phone with 256GB (U.S. Warranty), Aura White/ Note10+

Admittedly, the iPhone 12, which has several versions does have good specs. And, I even said, they'll probably upgrade with the A14 Bionic chips which are already available on their new iPad Air. They are so effing predictable.

They will rather play it safe by increment upgrades and call it 'new' rather than really finding a new design for their iPhone and iPad. Just look at Samsung. They gambled on the folding phone, which was a disaster, at first, but everyone is impressed with the 2nd gen.



Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G 12GB + 256GB SM-F916U1 Single Sim ONLY Factory Unlocked GSM US Version- Mystic Bronze (Ships After 09/18)

Frankly, I wasn't really impressed when Samsung first announced the folding phone. When you create a product, you try not to have too many moving parts as there will be wear and tear. They have actually improved the hinge and makes it better. That's a plus.

They also removed the notch on the right side of the phone. I was wondering, why they didn't go full screen the first time around. It's not as if they can't do it. They have also improved on the front screen and the 'tablet' mode screen. 



Samsung Electronics Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone, US Version, 512GB of Storage, Mobile Gaming Smartphone, Long-Lasting Battery, Mystic Black

I haven't even talked about Samsung Dex (website). Well, I've posted many articles on it. You can use the search function on my blog to err..search for them. Turn your mobile phone into a desktop PC with Samsung Dex and a dex pad, which I prefer more than just a USB C cable because it comes with a fan and USB ports.

These are great new technology and improvements on the mobile phone. You can see that Samsung is really doing their research and how to bring forward the mobile phone. I really like the idea of using your phone for everything. For work, play, and family. Meanwhile, Apple is more interested in people paying more for little increments on their products every damn year.

Well, I hope they have something new up their sleeves for future products. Cause, the only products of theirs that I have are the iPad Pro 9.7 which I gave to my mom, and iPad Pro 10.5. Both bought 2 years ago. And, I'm hoping to get the Samsung Galaxy Z fold 2 or maybe 3?

HP 15s AMD RYZEN 7 3700U RADEON RX VEGA 10 LAPTOP

HIDevolution ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 GA401IV, Moonlight White 14" FHD 120Hz, 3.0 GHz Ryzen 9 4900HS, RTX 2060 Max-Q, 16 GB 3200MHz RAM, 1 TB PCIe SSD

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I finally, got myself a new laptop. An HP 15s with AMD RYZEN 7 3700U, RADEON RX VEGA 10 Graphics. It only has 8GB ram, wish it was 16GB like my main, Aftershock gaming pc. But, this will do for now. It also has 512GB, now left with 400+GB, SSD. I'll wish it was 1TB too. I definitely, would have gone for higher specs but, with budget constraints, this is basically, what I can get.

I'm not really complaining though, as I'm typing on it right now and been playing with it since yesterday. I must say, this keyboard feels kinda different and new, compares to my other laptop and keyboard. It's also a full keyboard, surprisingly backlit and with a number pad. I haven't used a full keyboard with a number pad for a long while that I didn't even realize I was using the pad enter key. All the while wondering, how come the size is different?



HP 15-inch HD Laptop, AMD Ryzen 7 3700U Processor, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, Windows 10 Home (15-ef0022nr, Natural Silver)

Frankly, I don't like big laptops. To me, the smaller the better. But, I'm liking how big and wide this 15.6-inch screen is. Am, actually enjoying it. I can actually see better. Especially, when I'm wearing spectacles. I can't remember how many HP laptops I've owned but, I can only remember getting a free mini laptop several decades ago.

I'm not buying this laptop to play games. As I don't play much pc games anymore. But, of course, I'll be testing out some games on it. I'm pretty sure, it can play all my old STEAM collections. This laptop was actually on a special offer price. Got it for around USD$645. It was selling at a higher price last week. Also, it comes with free gifts. A laptop bag, USB dongle, and a Bluetooth mouse.



HIDevolution ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 GA401IV, Moonlight White 14" FHD 120Hz, 3.0 GHz Ryzen 9 4900HS, RTX 2060 Max-Q, 16 GB 3200MHz RAM, 1 TB PCIe SSD

Ok, I have to confessed that I bought this laptop because it almost has the same design and color as the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop. Which I would have got if I had the money. Part of the reason, I bought an AMD laptop instead of the intel with the NVIDIA graphics card. I have actually owned an AMD laptop before but wasn't really satisfied with its graphics card back then.

I hope, this mid-range gaming laptop would do better. But, like I've said, I'm not really buying this for gaming. I prefer gaming on my Nintendo Switch lite. Which is way more portable and the only gaming device, I'll bring along whenever I go out. Unless, of course, I need a laptop when I travel or maybe going on a long holiday. This 15-inch laptop is going to be pretty useful.



Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Factory Unlocked Cell Phone with 256 GB (U.S. Warranty), Aura Black/ Note10+

Whenever, I use my pc or right now, the laptop, I'll always connect my Samsung Note 10+ to it. I can easily access my phone notifications, msg, photos, and Whatsapp via Microsoft Your Phone companion. And, with a Samsung phone, you can use the Samsung Dex. A much better desktop user interface (UI). My much older laptop with Intel Celeron N4200 is a bit laggy when using Samsung dex.

The design of the laptop actually reminds me of an Apple laptop. It's not that heavy and is pretty slim. I love the cool, slick silver design. Yesterday, I test out the sound and it's pretty loud. The speaker is just above the keyboard. I also tried listening to some youtube music via my Razer headphone and it's pretty loud too. Wish, there was more bass but, I'm half-deaf anyway, so, as long as it's loud and clear, I'm fine with it.

I actually didn't think I would want to buy a laptop anymore since I bought my gaming PC a couple of years ago. But, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 designed actually makes me want to buy a gaming laptop again. I sure missed my Alienware M14X. I might not get it now, but who knows. For now, though, I'm pretty happy with this HP, AMD RYZEN laptop. It's no slouch either. 

I just on the power to my laptop as I've been using it since 9am (it's now 11:30 a.m) which was already down at 90%. A bit surprised as I know, it was full when I off it. Seems like it couldn't retain the battery power. I forget it was doing some BIOS updating before logging in. I'll say, the battery can last around 4 - 6 hours with normal usage. I did some STEAM updating, downloading, and play GALAGA.

Well, I'm reaching the last quarter of this article. I'm blogging while listening to youtube music and it's pretty hot on the top right and bottom of the laptop. I'm not sure if it's because of the music or I'm charging the battery. I don't think, it was this hot when I wasn't charging. I do have a laptop cooling pad, so I might use it when necessary. A bit of a hassle though. Especially, if you're traveling.

I haven't experienced any kind of lagging so far. Unlike, my old Acer laptop. Obviously, the specs are way much better. In all, I'm happy and glad I got this laptop. Especially, with the special price offering and gifts. It'll be great as a backup for my main PC. Definitely, recommend this, if you guys looking for a mid-range, affordable gaming laptop. At least, like me, till you can get an AMD Ryzen 9 latest laptop!

AMD Software for system settings. Love the 15.6-inch screen and full keyboard with a number pad.

I wasn't sure if this laptop has a backlit keyboard. Sure, glad it does. Although I can type without looking. If I'm stuck, I can always depend on the lighting. The keyboard light will actually 'sleep' if you're not using it after a while. Nice, feature to have.

 

Yup, this laptop is pretty cool!
