My new Samsung Galaxy S22 plus Phantom white 256gb


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.



Apple iPhone 13, 128GB, Blue - Unlocked (Renewed)

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.

Nikon Coolpix P950 Day Pictures and Videos of The Moon 83x Optical Superzoom!


Nikon COOLPIX P950 Digital Camera || 24-2000mmLens || 16 MP || Built-in Wi-Fi || Vibration Reduction + Camera Kit Special Including 64GB Memory, Spider Tripod, Photo/Video Editing Package & More

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yesterday, I caught a glimpse of the moon in the afternoon and I was thinking, this time, I'm gonna use my Nikon Coolpix P950 to take pictures and videos of it. I've already taken pics and vids of the moon at night. You can watch it here. Subscribe to my youtube channel if you haven't.

I'm still amazed at being able to view the moon this close. I've always dreamed of getting either the P900, P1000, or the P950. I decided to get the P950 because it was offered at half the price. It was used as a store demo. But, still looks great and working fine too.

I was pretty lucky to be able to get the P950 at half the price. Now, I'm really enjoying using the camera to take photos and videos. It's a different feeling than using a mobile phone camera. Although, sometimes, it's much easier and faster to use. 

You don't always bring along your camera when you go out. Unless you intend to use it. Obviously, the advantage of the Nikon P950 is the zooming capability. If you like watching the moon, birds, and nature, this will be the camera to use as you can safely and quietly watch them from afar.

I think I've had this camera for over a month now and I'm getting the hang of using it. I've already got several 67mm camera filters and using them with the P950. But, I forget to test it yesterday when taking the moon shots and video.

I did use the camera moon settings and even tried out the different colors available. I think the blue color makes the moon looks a little too blue-ish. But, makes the pale sky looks more dark blue. I'm trying them all out so that I can choose to use them for other projects.

The most important thing is that I'm really enjoying photography and videography. I love taking pictures and videos with my P950. At the same time, I'm learning lots of new things. There are still many places I haven't been to and it makes me excited just thinking about it.

I already have a couple of videos up on my channel using the P950. You can check them out and tell me what you think of any ideas to make it better. I saved the videos on my Nikon Coolpix P950 playlist. It'll be easier to find. 

Check out some of the moon photos I took with my Nikon P950 below:


Moon setting with the grey color chosen.


Moon setting with blue color chosen.

A little further view of the moon.

I actually found myself relaxing and enjoying the clear blue sky. It's been raining a lot these couple of weeks so, to be able to enjoy this view is nice. That's why I've been wanting to get the Nikon camera with the zoom capability for a long while.

You don't really have to travel far or anywhere to enjoy the scenery. Especially, during this pandemic. I can even zoom in on planes that fly past my area but it's kinda difficult when you don't know their schedule. You can only hear them once in a while from my apartment.

Nikon Coolpix P950 - Botanic gardens - Ever seen a Big Badass Black Lizard?


Nikon COOLPIX P950 83x Optical Zoom Digital Camera (USA 26532) with 16PC Accessory Bundle Package – Includes: SanDisk Extreme PRO 64GB SDXC Memory Card + 2X Extended Life Battery + 57” Tripod + More

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yesterday, I went to my local botanic gardens and took some pictures and videos with my Nikon Coolpix P950. I dabble a lot with the setting, switching between Auto and Scene. Especially, for the close-up shot. Personally, I really like the pictures and videos that I took. Have a looksie here!

I'm still not sure what I'm doing. The LCD screen is not really helping as they don't really show the quality of the picture I've taken. Sometimes, I'll think the picture is a little washup but when I upload to my PC or laptop, they actually look great. I'm glad, I didn't delete a couple of those shots.



Photographer's Guide to the Nikon Coolpix P950: Getting the Most from Nikon's Superzoom Digital Camera

I'm learning though. I like playing with the ISO. It's easy to access and quickly adjust the lighting. I also keep forgetting that I'm already using the UV filter. So, the pictures are already affected by the filter. Which gives the pictures and video a little more color.

Take a look at the pictures and videos and tell me what you think here. I might also want to get the photographer's guidebook on using the Nikon Coolpix P950. Little tips might improve the quality of my pictures and videos in the future.

I really need to buy extra batteries for the camera. Halfway through taking pictures and the battery went dead. I didn't think I'll need an extra battery. As I was sure I won't be taking that many pictures and videos. I was planning to just stay at the botanic gardens for maybe 1 or 2 hrs.

I did bring along my power bank and managed to charge it to half full for around 30 mins. It's pretty slow to charge. I'm not sure if the latest power bank could charge a little faster. But, I took the time to relax, eat and drink some water.

I haven't done this much walking for a while. Not just because of the  Covid-19 pandemic. I'm kinda a homely person. I only go out of my house if I have to, like work. Other than that I just stayed home and do my own things. Maybe, because I'm getting older.

When you're young, you hang out with your schoolmates and go places. When you get older, most of your friends are married with children. When I had a girlfriend, they're actually the ones coercing me to go out with them. Now, I'm single again and going out because of my new camera. Lol.

I'm not complaining though. Like I've said, I've always been interested in owning a camera and taking great photos. In recent years, I've been using my Apple iPhone, iPad, and Samsung phone as the main camera to take pictures and videos. But, having a camera is very much a different kind of ball game.

Right now, I'm still learning how to use a point-and-shoot camera. It's becoming my new hobby. With social media, you can easily share all your works. And, of course, an added bonus for my blog and youtube channel. I also have to remember that sometimes not everyone likes my pictures and videos.

Check out these one original and two edited sample photos were taken from my P950 edited using FB editor (I don't have any photo & video editing software):


The original pic was taken from Nikon Coolpix P950. Admittedly, it's a little washup.


Edited with FB editor.


Edited with FB editor. More color.

My sis gave me a damning critic of my photo whereas my ex-colleagues at work praise how bright it is. In the end, I told her that everyone has their own opinion, and that doesn't mean I have to accept it. In any case, I'm still getting the hang of it and I'm already thinking of other types of cameras. 

You've got to start somewhere right? And, people usually edit their main pictures for imperfection. I don't know why my sis and one of my friends asked me to use a flash in broad daylight to take outdoor photos. Yes, I've seen pros working using lighting effects outdoor before. 

I'm not a pro photographer and I don't have money to buy expensive equipment. I'm not in the photography business. I work with what I have and if most people are okay with it, I'm happy. I'll learn and improve as I go along with this new hobby of mine. So, keep visiting my blog and channel!

By the way, check out the big badass black lizard at the near end of my video. At the moment, the Nikon Coolpix P950 is still the only camera I have, and loving it. Yes!

CES 2021 Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra First Hands-on


Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G | Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone | US Version 5G Smartphone | Pro-Grade Camera, 8K Video, 108MP High Res | 256GB, Phantom Black

Hey guys,

Quick promo!

It seems just like yesterday when Samsung introduced its latest S20 series phone. Before that, it was the S10. I've tried both the S10 and S10+. I didn't get the S20 though. But, I changed to using the Note 10+. I wanted to try out the new S Pen. And, I'm definitely loving the Samsung Phone since.

I also like the Samsung Dex, which turns your phone into a desktop computer with its user interface. I'm a blogger and Youtuber so, taking pictures, videos, editing and then the ability to immediately upload them to my Youtube channel are pretty important. Back when I was still using my Pentium Pc, it'll always freeze. But, now using just the phone is a breeze!



Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G | Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone | US Version 5G Smartphone | Pro-Grade Camera, 8K Video, 108MP High Res | 256GB, Phantom Black

  • Pro-Grade Camera: Zoom in close, take photos and videos like a pro, and capture incredible share-ready moments with our easy-to-use, multi-lens camera
  • Sharp 8K Video: Capture your life’s best moments in a head-turning, super-smooth 8K video that gives your movies that cinema-style quality
  • Multiple Ways to Record: Create share-ready videos and GIFs on the spot with multi-cam recording and automatic professional-style effects
  • 100x Zoom: Get amazing clarity with a dual-lens combo of 3x and 10x optical zoom, or go even further with our revolutionary 100x Space Zoom
  • Highest Smartphone Resolution: Crystal clear 108MP allows you to pinch, crop and zoom in on your photos to see tiny, unexpected details, while lightning-fast Laser Focus keeps your focal point clear
  • All Day Intelligent Battery: Intuitively manages your cellphone’s usage to conserve energy, so you can go all day without charging (based on average battery life under typical usage conditions)
  • Power of 5G: Get next-level power for everything you love to do with Galaxy 5G; More sharing, more gaming, more experienced, and never miss a beat

Right now, if I weren't interested in the Samsung Folding phone, I might have wanted to upgrade to the S21. Especially, with their latest camera features. With 100x Zoom, can I use it for Moon-Watching? I won't have to buy a camera or a telescope.

I was actually hoping that Samsung would announce the Z Fold 3 at this CES 2021. With better camera specs. I wasn't really interested when they announce the first folding phone but the Z Fold 2 piqued my interest. It's also of course definitely better.



Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G | Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone | 256GB Storage | US Version Smartphone Tablet | 2-in-1 Refined Design, Flex Mode | Mystic Bronze

Again, as a Youtuber and blogger, the Z Fold 2 would have been perfect for me. Imagine after taking pictures and videos, I can open it up like a tablet and work on those videos. I can use my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Although, like my iPad, I seldom use a mouse.

Hopefully, the Samsung Z Fold 3 would be much lighter, slimmer, and cheaper. This would be perfect for mobile computing. You don't have to lug a tablet or a laptop anymore. Since all you need is your phone in your pocket.

There's a new Exynos 2100 which would be more powerful. So, if the Z Fold 3 comes with it. Whoa, what will happen? You'll be able to game, 5G, take higher quality pictures and videos. Do video editing on the spot, entertainment and so much more. Now, that's what I call mobile computing!

See Beautiful White Clouds Plane flight take-off from Krabi Thailand - Samsung S10+ Camera Video


Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G | Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone | 128 GB | US Version Smartphone | Pro-Grade Camera, 30X Space Zoom, Night Mode | Cloud Mint Green

Hey guys,

Check it out!

The video I took using the Samsung Galaxy S10+ camera video was before I sold it to get the Note 10+. I have owned several Samsung phones and back then, I wasn't really impressed. I even hated the Android OS because it's always laggy and freeze up.

The only reason, I bought the S3 was because I couldn't get an iPhone 4. It was pretty much sold out then. That was how hard to get an iPhone. I remember waiting for almost a year before I got my hands on the 2nd Gen iPhone.



Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G | Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone | 128 GB | US Version Smartphone | Pro-Grade Camera, 30X Space Zoom, Night Mode | Cloud Mint Green

Since I got the S10+, Samsung has totally impressed me with the latest iterations of their mobile phone. Love the screen size, especially without the notch, one of the reasons I didn't get the iPhone X. My last several phones were the Blackberry, iPhone 8, and Razer gaming phone.

I miss the blackberry keyboard, the iPhone iMovie editor, and the Razer phone? Well, it was a first-gen and it had a lot of problems. Especially, the touchscreen and the camera. I think Razer 2 solved those problems. Not sure why they stop selling their own brand phone.



Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 256GB N985F/DS 8GB RAM S-Pen 6.9" Triple Camera GSM LTE Factory Unlocked Smartphone (International Version) (Mystic Bronze)

Razer had a good concept idea for their phone though. Something like a laptop dock. Where you can charge your phone and also use it as a touchpad. That's why I was surprised when I read the news they close down their new phone department.

The laptop dock would have been pretty cool. Turning your phone into a computer. That's why I prefer the Samsung phone. Now they have the Samsung Dex with a desktop-like, familiar user interface. Too bad they didn't want a laptop dock for their phone. Would have been pretty cool!



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

I wasn't really impressed with the Z Fold phone when they first announced it. And then, everyone was complaining about the small front screen, the inside screen with the notch on the right and the hinges. I was in a technical class and they always say, products with moving parts won't last long.

I believe it still holds through even with the Z Fold 2 new hinge design. Although, if you're like me, always changing the phone, that wouldn't be a problem. In spite of that, the new Z Fold 2, reminds me of a folding laptop. That's why I'm thinking of getting it, if and when the price goes down.



Nikon COOLPIX P1000 16.7 Digital Camera with 3.2" LCD, Black

As a Youtuber and blogger. I like taking pictures and making videos. That's why a mobile phone with a good camera is important to me. I'm still waiting for a mobile phone camera that I can use to zoom to the moon. Much like the Nikon Coolpix P900 or P1000.

I'm not an expert on cameras but most experts and amateurs users agree that the Nikon P900 or P1000 is one of the best for moon-watching. Although, they're complaining the P1000 'upgrade' specs isn't worth spending the extra dough on.


Acer Swift 3 Thin & Light Laptop, 14" Full HD IPS, AMD Ryzen 7 4700U Octa-Core with Radeon Graphics, 8GB LPDDR4, 512GB NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Backlit KB, Fingerprint Reader, Alexa Built-in, SF314-42-R9YN

What's great is that the camera on the iPhone, Samsung, and other mobile phone zooming capabilities are improving. To me, Samsung has the edge because of Samsung Dex. If they improved the camera for moon-watching, I can use Samsung Dex to view directly on my laptop for easier and quick editing.

Yes, the whole video and pictures above I took from my S10+ with the phone camera and edited on the phone itself. Didn't need the hassle of downloading to a computer for editing and uploading. Now, all done easily right from your phone. You couldn't do that in the past.

My old Pentium computer used to hang a lot when I tried editing videos using the free Microsoft Movie Editor. The worst part is when you're half-way through and it hangs. Imagine the frustration when you realized you didn't save and had to redo the whole thing again. Those were the days!

Now, the mobile phone has become a powerful mini-computer that fits in your pocket. Mobile computing is definitely the future.

Samsung Note 10+ AURA WHITE UNBOXING


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

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My mom decided to get a new phone, so I recommended that she get the Samsung Note 10+. She chose Aura white instead of Aura glow. Which, is my favorite color. The phone is basically the same as her old Note 3. Yes, that's how long she had been using it.

She's still adjusting to using her new phone. Which is more powerful and faster. She'll be able to try out new phone tech and new games available on the Google play store. Now, she can easily take selfies with the latest S pen design.

She'll be able to take better quality pictures and videos. And, send it to her daughter via WhatsApp. She does video call a lot with my sis even more then I do. It's kinda funny. But, I remember posting about video call not being common enough.

Nowadays, I'm starting to see people doing video calls via Whatsapp. And, it's not just young people. It's older people like my mom. I guess people do take to it. Thanks to Whatsapp it's becoming a common sight. Part of the reason might also be because data is getting cheaper.

I remember teaching my family to use Skype for video calling. We used our computers to do it. Skype wasn't available for mobile yet. Now, years later everyone is using Whatsapp. It's a plus that the video quality is better now than before.

How technology has grown in just a decade!



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

  • Fast charging, long-lasting intelligent power, and super speed processing outlast whatever you throw at Note 10+
  • S pen’s newest Evolution gives you the power of air gestures, a remote shutter and playlist button, and handwriting to text, all in One Magic wand
  • With a full set of Pro lenses, super stabilization, live video bokeh, and precision audio recording, Note 10+ is a studio in your pocket
  • Note 10’s nearly bezel-less Infinity display gives an immersive, cinematic quality to whatever you’re viewing
  • All-day Intelligent Battery: 4,300 mAh

As a Samsung Note 10+ user for over a month. This phone is definitely recommended by me. Heck, even my mom using it now. She might not be as excited as me but she'll be using this phone for a while yet. At least maybe for another decade or so?

Yes, for her this phone is more than powerful enough to be used as a daily driver. It's so for the most basic users. It's actually good enough for me too. Only, I like to test and see how far mobile technology can go. Especially, in mobile computing and gaming!

What does the future hold for the mobile industry? Can it be the gaming pc/laptop killer? Why would you need a pc, a mac or a gaming console if you can do it with just your mobile phone? The only technology that you would always bring along and need is your phone. Every music, pictures, videos, games and work data is inside it.
