This week, we're taking a look at T-Mobile's own affordable 5G smartphone. For just $400, you can have nationwide 5G on google old Magenta, but before this starts to sound like an ad, there are some compromises. After all, the phone only costs $400. But this phone cuts a lot of right corners in its quest for affordability.  Let's take it for a spin.

The intersection of tech and politics is happening more and more these days as technology becomes a more and more integrated part of our lives. As technology gets better, we need to learn how to use it, what it's allowed for, and what it's decidedly not allowed for.  That's where politicians step in. A lot of them have no idea how this stuff works, but there are some bright stars out there.  From political responsibility to just who the heck knows what they're talking about JCB is here to help!  Of course, don't forget to check out the full interview on Patreon!

Our Blu G90 Pro is in. Can a phone with only 4GB of RAM actually be a gaming phone? You'll have to tune in to hear the specifics, but the answer is, mostly yeah. Blu delivered a lot of power in this phone, but some very important corners were cut. But did Blu make the right call to ship this gaming powerhouse? Find out here!

This month Adam and Cliff take a look at VR, along with a deep look at the Oculus Quest 2. Then we rehash the Pixel 4a review and Adam still doesn't know why he loves this phone. We go a little deeper on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2, and finally we wrap things up with a look at graphene-enhanced battery tech. It's a fun listen, so be sure to check it out.

Lenovo built a pair of tablets that, when docked, turn into smart screens. That's a smart use for technology that often ends up on a shelf in between uses. Taking an Android tablet, and sprinkling in a little Google Assistant or Alexa is a neat idea.  But how's the execution?  That's the real story. Plus we take a deep dive into Google's announcements this week and we have our first giveaway!

Graphene is a miracle product that was supposed to change the world.  We never got that far, but graphene is making major updates to our batteries that could be very exciting very soon. Sam Gong from Real Graphene is here to talk about how his company is making progress in this area. Plus Amazon had a major hardware announcement this week including a redesigned Echo, speakers that help your children read, a swivelling smart screen and a drone that flies around your house keeping an eye on things.
