My 2023 in Review: Grants, Public Art, and Teaching

With 2024 right around the corner, now’s the perfect time to reflect on 2023 and share a bit more about what I’ve been up to. In terms of making pictures, 2023 is currently in my Top 3 worst years for creating photographic work. This doesn’t mean that everything else I was working on wasn’t photography related, it just wasn’t work for myself. Looking back, this year was all about strengthening my arts connections locally by sharing photography with the community. In no particular order, here’s what I’ve been up to for the past twelve months.

After-school Arts

Since the Fall Semester of 2022, my good friend Tariq Tarey and I have been working closely with a local charter school to develop an after-school photography program. For our first year, we were able to get interchangeable lens mirrorless cameras into the hands of fourteen eager 7th and 8th graders. Each week, we would take an hour to introduce the kids to a different aspect of photography. Throughout the year we managed to guide them out of Auto Mode on their cameras and start “seeing” their photos instead of simply “point and shoot”. By the end of year one students had: photographed a body of work, critiqued and edited their pictures, printed, framed, and entered their photographs into a local art show.

It’s been a long time since I’d worked with middle school aged kids, and to say I was nervous about working with younger students is an understatement. From years of teaching privately via Midwest Photo and One-on-One workshops, teenagers haven’t been my typical clientele. Many of them had no experience with a camera outside of a smartphone, and the idea of a dedicated device for picture taking was completely foreign. To the surprise of Tariq and myself, they picked up the basics at lightning pace. The mechanics took a bit more practice than anticipated, but their grasp of the language of photography was impressive and helped guide their vision. Overall I’m incredibly proud of what our students were able to accomplish in our short time together, and I’m looking forward to 2024 where we’ll be back for a new class of creatives!

Hilltop Cyanotype Day

Each year, the Greater Columbus Arts Council (GCAC) offers financial support to individual artists and arts organizations in the Columbus, OH area in the form of grants. These can range from one-time stipends for artist’s supplies to sustaining grants for arts nonprofits in the area. I’ve been participating in GCAC Individual Artist grants since 2015 and looking through the 2023 opportunities list, there was a new program that piqued my interest. The Neighborhood Arts Connection (NAC) grants are a way for artists residing in a particular Columbus neighborhood to receive funding to elevate and engage the community. And one of the two neighborhoods on the list for early 2023 was the Hilltop, where I’ve been for the last four years. There were two levels of the NAC grant available, $5k and $10k for a neighborhood based art program, so I decided to swing for the fences. I pitched a one-day public workshop where ANYONE would be able to attend free of charge to make a cyanotype print. To my complete surprise, the grant was approved; this was going to be my biggest undertaking of the year by far!

Even as I talk about it in past tense, $10k is a lot of money to spend on any one thing. I’m incredibly grateful that Columbus has an arts organization that’s able to support artists and their communities with grants like this. All of that being said, $10k for a public art event can be tough when accounting for everything that goes into the day. Breaking it down into three core categories, here’s what the budget looked like on my grant application versus what it actually came out to:

Material Resources - $4360 planned, $3878.81 actual

Includes art supplies, consumable goods, first aid supplies, and miscellaneous goods purchased for the event.

Human Resources - $4400 planned, $4682.50 actual

Includes pay for event host (me), eight assistants, and security all at a fair wage.

Event Planning - $1240 planned, $1693.11 actual

Includes space rental, permits, insurance, and event marketing.

So how far did that $10k go? I’m a little biased here, but I think it was enough to make an impact on my neighborhood. On Sunday October 1st, 2023 at Westgate Park, I along with eight other local artists hosted a hands-on workshop where all attendees were able to make their own cyanotype prints, free of charge. No photography experience? No problem! There were 200+ pieces of pre-coated light sensitive materials on-site, with dozens of different stencils and objects to make a unique photogram.

Throughout the course of the day, we had over 130 members of the public join us in making nearly 200 cyanotype prints on: watercolor paper, t-shirts, tote bags, napkins, and a few giant cotton murals! We had folks of all ages in attendance from age 4 - 72, many of which stayed to make extra prints. There were a few photographers that showed up, but a vast majority were Hilltop and Westgate locals that were interested in making something by hand. Any leftover arts and craft supplies that were used from the day made it into the hands of Hilltop art teachers, and two of the giant “snow angel” murals were donated to Hilltop local establishments. Most importantly, no attendees left the event empty handed, and everyone remained safe while having fun experiencing the joy of photography!

There were plenty of hurdles and a lot of lessons learned during the planning and execution of this event. Once I have that all of my thoughts and feelings compiled into an explainer video, I’ll be sure to append this blog post accordingly. For now, here are a couple of galleries of photographs taken on Cyanotype Day by photographers Shiann Banks (below) and Gracie Becker (above), thank you both SO MUCH for your help!

Research & Residency

Working as a freelance photographer is still not something I’m 100% used to yet, but in this second year of not having a 9-to-5 job I’ve started to look at opportunities that were previously out of reach. In previous years I’d see a handful of amazing location workshops and artist in residence (AiR) programs that I couldn’t participate in due to lack of paid time off days. One of my big goals for 2023 was to change this by applying to upcoming AiR programs and explore new grants. The Hilltop Cyanotype Day was one such opportunity afforded by a generous GCAC grant, but I’m happy to report there are a couple more.

Starting in January in 2024, I’ll be taking part in the Winter Residency program at the Penland School of Craft. Penland is an amazing craft school nestled into the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina. Each year they host over a thousand students in residencies and workshops of various lengths and disciplines. During those few Winter weeks I’ll be in charge of the photo studio and darkroom spaces at Penland in exchange for some much needed time and access to work on my alternative process photography.

Alongside the Winter Residency at Penland, I’m equally excited to announce that I’ve received a generous grant award from the Ohio Arts Council (OAC) to help fund additional materials and research related to alternative process photography. Combined with my upcoming time at Penland, my aim to is come back to Columbus and spend more time making fine prints throughout 2024. With any luck I’ll be attempting several new-to-me alt processes and be reporting back to you all here on the blog and the YouTube channel.

In retrospect, 2023 was another year defined by photography, just not my own. I wasn’t out making pictures with big sheets of film through an “old timey” as much as usual, but I still had a blast. Thanks to everyone that helped make this past year a meaningful one, and an especially big thanks to the Greater Columbus Arts Council and Ohio Arts Council for helping support my continued photographic projects. Have a safe and Happy New Year, and I hope to share more photography with you all very soon!

The Incredible Growing Viewscreen

In the beginning, before Matt Jeffries had finished designing the spaceship that would become the Enterprise, set designer Pato Guzman sketched this idea for the "control room":

About the only thing it had in common with the final set was the large window/viewscreen up front.

The first iteration of the USS Enterprise bridge included a much smaller main viewer that looked like a really big television:

This was very cutting-edge for 1964. Color TVs were still pretty new in those days, and they had pretty small picture tubes. A wall-sized one must've seemed impossibly futuristic.

For the second pilot, the viewer got a widescreen upgrade:

When the show went to series, the viewer acquired a rectangular shape with a glowing blue outline, but stayed the same size:

When the Enterprise was redesigned for the big screen 13 years later, the viewer stayed roughly the same size, but it looked more like the window/viewscreen from Pato Guzman's original concept art:

Fast forward to 1987. Larger televisions were a becoming more common; some folks even had giant projection TVs that almost required a forklift to move. To emphasize the super-advanced nature of Star Trek: The Next Generation's brand-new Starship Enterprise, the main viewer dominated the entire forward bulkhead of the bridge:

Basically, they went from having a largish TV screen at the front of the bridge to having an entire movie screen.

The viewscreen got another upgrade nine years later with the big-screen debut of the Enterprise-E. In Star Trek: First Contact, there was no screen built into the bridge's forward bulkhead; it was just a blank wall. The "viewscreen" was a holographic display that appeared in front of the wall when activated:

This was an interesting innovation that never appeared again. In the next two movies, the Enterprise-E's bridge had a plain old viewscreen. Of course, holographic nor not, the functionality of the bridge viewer hadn't really changed since the very first Star Trek in 1964. It was basically a big TV that displayed one thing at a time. That might have seemed perfectly futuristic during Star Trek's first 30 years, but the world was changing.

When J.J. Abrams' big-budget reimagining of Star Trek was being developed in the late 2000s, everybody had computers and smartphones were becoming more common. So Abrams and his team went in a new direction:

Instead of the traditional Star Trek viewscreen, the front of the new Enterprise bridge was dominated by a giant curved pane of "smart glass" i.e. a window that allowed information from various sources to be superimposed on it:

Predictably, long-time fans complained about this because they hate change. But honestly, it's cool and it makes sense. In 1964, the Enterprise's viewscreen was so futuristic that there was no way to depict it without employing special effects. Fifty years later, you could buy one at Wal-Mart. Star Trek is set in the future; its technology shouldn't be something that the audience can walk into a store and buy today.

The 2022 version of the Enterprise bridge features a "smart glass" viewscreen much like the Abrams-verse version with one important difference:

It's a whole heckuva lot bigger. I can't even imagine what the aspect ratio is on that bad boy. And what about the resolution? What is that, like an 8000000K display?

I have zero problem with this. For everyone screaming "But it's impractical!" well, yeah, probably. But so is having the bridge in an exposed and easily-shot-at point at the top of the saucer. Not to mentioning having the warp core in a big open area with zero shielding around it and people working in close proximity to it 24/7.

If you want to get nitpicky about unrealistic stuff in Star Trek, we'll be here all year.

My High Purity Copper Wire Replacement Audio for my QKZ AK6 Pro IEM review (w/ my paper dolls) - 2nd Half (Final) [Recorded: Dec 8th, 2023]

DeviantART Version: [CLICK ME!]

Hello, December. Here's my 2nd half (and final) of my 'High Purity Copper Wire Replacement Audio' for my QKZ AK6 Pro IEM Earphones, or as I call it my 'audio wire replacement' (, feat. my paper dolls).

• If you haven't seen my '1st half', then please → [CLICK ME!].

BTW: And once again, If you haven't seen my review of QKZ AK6 Pro (from 2022), then I'll provide some links down below. ↓ 😉

My QKZ AK6 Pro IEM Earphones:

• Revealing parcel [Oct 1st, 2022]

• Part 1 (1st half) [Oct 8th, 2022]

• Part 2 (2nd half) [Oct 8th, 2022]

• Part 3 (Final) [Oct 26th, 2022]

So, without further ado, let's get started:

20th & 21st Image(s): ↑

• Here's a preview of installing my two AK6 Pro earpieces to my new 'audio wire replacement'. 🎶🎧🙂 My paper dolls are excited to wear it. Don't you worry, you two. I hope your ears we're fit. Hehe 😅 Nonetheless, here's my 2nd recorded video. 🎦📲

🎦 My Recorded video No. 2 ↑ 📲

• Here's me connecting two audio pieces into one, and it fits perfectly! 🎧🎶😊 Once again, my apologies for the awful background, despite my current smartphone (the Honor 8C) doesn't have noise cancelling / anti-background sound feature. 🚫🎶🏙️📲

22nd to 24th Image(s): ↑

• [22nd & 23rd Image] Finally, the installation is complete! Care to wear it, you two? 🎧😊 "Yes, please" said my paper dolls. [24th Image] Mmmmm... 🤔 A-Okay, but uhh... I think, would it better if you two wear my headphones over earphones, Okay? 😊 My paper dolls completely agree.

25th & 26th Image(s): ↑

• Now, let's go to the actual wear, featuring "ME!". 😊 You can see these photos of mine, they fit well on both of my ears just like before 👂🙂👍. Sound-wise, the sound quality is the same as I expected 🙂🎶👌, but say cannot be said for the quality of ear hooks. You see, upon wearing these or taking off after hours of listening, the material for the ear hooks feels quite flimsy than the original one. 🪢 👂🎧🤔 My OG audio wire's ear hooks used to have a solid bend without worrying about. On top of that, the wiring itself feels quite light, making it easy to snap after a long use (, as I predict 🤔). Not to mention, the slippery and glossy appearance of the wiring. Though, I'm not sure if this replacement could last as long as the original one. But, we'll see in the endurance durability pace for my new audio wire. On the plus side, it is as comfy as before without hurting my ears; not even once.

• As of today (Dec 15th, 2023), I have no issues whatsoever, so far. I've tested it on my Honor 8C phone to see the function of the controls (play/pause, and the volume buttons), and it worked well. And with the volume controls on my IEM earphones, I don't have to reach my phone just to adjust the volume for hearing purposes. 🎧📲😊👍

Overall & Asking Price:

• Despite material differences between the OG and the replacement one, I'd say if your OG audio wire was busted after the lifespan was dead, a replacement for your current IEM earbuds is a better choice. 🎶🎧😊👍 Not only the audio wire replacements deliver the same quality sound as the original, but they also it'll save your budget, as well, if you have existing functional IEM detachable earpieces. Because some people like me, don't want to spend another spare of regular earphones with no detachable feature, right? Well, okay I guess that is debatable (BUT). 🤔Nonetheless, I think every IEM budget owners should buy this if they so desire. 😊

• As for the price, I order it from Shopee PH for only ₱ 145 [CLICK ME!] 🏷️. 🇵🇭🛒🌐 There's also an additional ₱10 for the pouch, but I rather not spending it. Considering, that I have tons of pouches to used. 🙂 There's also available on Lazada PH [CLICK ME!] 🇵🇭🛒🌐, as well albeit a different price than Shopee 🏷️, plus there's a Type C variant and different style choices.

Well, that's the end of my topic, and see you in 2024! 🥂🥳🎇

In the early 2010s, conversations among Microsoft’s top executives had become bleak. The smartphone revolution was in full swing, and Google and Apple were charging ahead, while Microsoft’s efforts to build a mobile business were floundering. Employees were leaving the company in droves to go work at competitors, and Microsoft had trouble recruiting from colleges.

How has time changed? On Tuesday, Microsoft reported its fifth consecutive quarter of record revenue, booking $62 billion in sales, and just last week, its market capitalization—the total value of all of its shares put together—surpassed $3 trillion, making it the most valuable company in the world.

It has even leapfrogged Apple, which has long held onto the crown of the biggest tech giant in the world, churning out sleek iPhones and finding new ways to charge its customers monthly subscriptions for services. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is considered one of the most powerful leaders of the artificial intelligence boom. Start-ups and big companies alike are flocking to Microsoft, paying for access to its AI tools, even if they don’t always work like they’re supposed to. On Tuesday, the company forecast that profits would continue increasing as customers kept installing its AI products in the coming year.

Shares fell around 1 percent on Wednesday morning as investors digested warnings from the company that its costs would also rise as it kept investing heavily in AI. Over the last year, the company’s shares have risen 63 percent. With a huge budget to spend on AI, a close relationship with ChatGPT maker OpenAI, and hundreds of millions of people who use its software every day, Microsoft is already wielding huge power over how AI gets built and how people will interact with it in the future.

No one is asking if the company is irrelevant today, Somasegar said. “That is absolutely not an issue for Microsoft.” Microsoft might have failed to anticipate the shift to mobile phones 15 years ago. It didn’t make the same mistake with the current wave of excitement and investment in AI.

In 2019, it invested $1 billion in a nonprofit AI start-up dedicated to the quixotic cause of inventing human-level AI called OpenAI. When the start-up launched the ChatGPT AI chatbot in late 2022, Microsoft was best positioned among the big tech companies to ride the ensuing wave of hype.

The company quickly doubled down, investing billions more in OpenAI in return for the right to put its AI into Microsoft’s own tools. Since then, Nadella has been working to stuff AI into as many of Microsoft’s products as he can, from cybersecurity software to its Bing search engine and even Microsoft Word.

Even though Google’s researchers came up with many of the underlying breakthroughs that enable tech like ChatGPT, OpenAI moved faster to turn it into working products and push those out to consumers. Microsoft’s close partnership with OpenAI and its existing connections to tens of thousands of small, medium, and large businesses put it in a good position to capture the interest of the corporate world in AI, Somasegar said.

Microsoft still has significant challenges ahead of it. It relies on OpenAI for access to the best AI tech, and the start-up’s recent leadership crisis and lingering questions over who will be on its board provide some uncertainty about the future of the two companies’ partnership. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is also fiercely ambitious, and there’s no guarantee the marriage will last forever.

The “generative” AI technology at the center of Microsoft’s rise also has significant problems, like making up false information and passing it off as true. Lawsuits are being launched against AI companies for training their algorithms on copyrighted information without paying for it or asking permission to use it. And though lots of companies are signing up to use the technology right now, there’s no guarantee that after the hype dies down, they will still find it worth paying for.

To industry observers and Microsoft insiders alike, the company of today is almost unrecognizable from what it was 10 years ago. The behemoth founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen in 1975 won dominance of the computer world in the 1980s and 1990s with its Windows operating system. When the internet exploded, it tried to use its advantage to secure similar control over the web but was stymied by a massive Justice Department lawsuit alleging the company was breaking competition law.

Microsoft survived the lawsuit only to see a scrappy tech start-up from Silicon Valley known as Google skyrocket into becoming the dominant portal to the internet. Other, younger companies like Amazon and Facebook were moving faster, hiring the smartest college graduates and building the future, while Microsoft lagged along.

It was still a giant thanks to the hundreds of millions of PCs still running Windows and Microsoft Office’s grip on white-collar life, but as Apple’s MacBooks became popular with a new generation of young people and cloud-delivered software like Google Docs took off, Microsoft’s very survival came under question.

Nadella, who had risen the ranks since joining in 1992, took over the company in 2014, right as those big questions about Microsoft’s future were circulating. He laid off thousands of workers and shuttered work on the company’s “Windows Phone” operating system, meant to compete with Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android. He told employees the company would need to be more open and struck a deal to get Microsoft Office tools onto Apple’s iPads.

The company invested heavily in the next big trend: cloud computing. Leaning on its existing business relationships, it expanded its “Azure” cloud business. Today, it’s the second-largest in the world after Amazon’s cloud business and is the company’s biggest revenue source. The company also made several major acquisitions such as coding platform GitHub and social media platform LinkedIn to expand its customer base.

And in an ironic twist, the company has avoided much of the regulatory scrutiny that its fellow Big Tech companies have faced over the past several years. Repeated government investigations, congressional hearings, and multibillion-dollar fines from the European Union have struck Google, Amazon, Meta, and Apple. But Microsoft has, at least until very recently, largely avoided the same attention.

That’s beginning to change as regulators wake up to the fact that Microsoft is truly one of the most powerful companies in the world. The company was able to buy video game giant Activision Blizzard, but only after fighting over the terms with regulators in multiple countries for two years. The Federal Trade Commission is now investigating Microsoft’s deal with OpenAI.

China smartphone market shipment saw modest decline of 5% in Q3 2023

China smartphone market shipment saw a modest decline of 5% in Q3 2023. October 26, 2023 - According to Canalys estimates, smartphone shipments in Mainland China saw a second consecutive quarter of modest decline, falling 5% to 66.7 million units. Honor, driven by product and channel competitiveness, returned to the top position with an 18% market share and 11.8 million shipments. OPPO (including OnePlus) followed with 10.9 million shipments, securing the second spot. Apple came in third with 10.6 million shipments, benefiting from its new launch. Vivo, with a cautious shipment strategy, held fourth position with a 16% market share. Xiaomi's hot-selling series maintained its momentum, with a slight increase in market share to 14%, securing the fifth spot. Additionally, Huawei continued to gain market share and inch its way towards the top players through its high-profile Mate series launches. “Product competitiveness is, again, key for growth,” said Canalys Research Analyst Lucas Zhong. “The Huawei Mate 60 series launch sparked the market. If Huawei expands the new Kirin chipset into its low-to-mid-range portfolio in the future, it has the potential to disrupt the competitive dynamic among leading vendors. Meanwhile, the HONOR X50 series focuses on durability improvement as a new unique selling point, adding momentum to shipments in the third quarter. Apple's new iPhone 15 series introduced bigger upgrades to meet consumers’ expectations. Android vendors, however, showed ambitions in the foldable category with a plethora of launches, including Xiaomi Mix Fold3, HONOR V Purse, Magic Vs2, OPPO Find N3 Flip, Find N3, and Huawei Mate X5, providing consumers with offerings in different form factors, specifications, and price ranges.” “Vendors and channels are collaborating closer on all levels from macro-level strategy to day-to-day operations, especially since 2022, after experiencing a demand downturn and inventory risks together,” added Canalys Research Manager Amber Liu. “Vendors have been assisting channels in operational efficiency enhancement in various ways. For instance, HONOR and OPPO are helping distributors improve cash flow by providing digital financial tools, while Xiaomi started offering distributors the options to acquire Mi stores, optimizing resource allocation and allowing ambitious distributors to expand. Facing intense rivalry, vendors continuously experiment with new models of symbiotic relationship with channel partners.” “The market has bottomed out in 2023 as vendors steadfastly invest and refine channel incentive policies, and there is an expected gradual demand recovery," commented Canalys Senior Analyst Toby Zhu. “The market shows that, despite prolonged replacement cycles, consumers are still willing to pay for products within their budget that offer attractive value propositions. In the second half of the year, Huawei will generate a 'Catfish Effect' on the competitive landscape. Vendors will proactively expand their product portfolios and accelerate upgrade frequency, especially in the high-end category, to stimulate consumer upgrades and brand switches.” People’s Republic of China (Mainland) smartphone shipments and annual growth  Canalys Smartphone Market Pulse: Q3 2023 Vendor Q3 2023 shipments (million) Q3 2023 market share Q3 2022 shipments (million) Q3 2022 market share Annual  growth  HONOR 11.8 18% 12.0 17% -1% OPPO 10.9 16% 12.1 17% -10% Apple 10.6 16% 11.3 16% -6% vivo 10.4 16% 14.1 20% -26% Xiaomi 9.1 14% 9.0 13% 0% Others  13.9 21% 11.4 16% 21% Total  66.7 100% 69.8 100% -5%    Notes: from Q1 2021, HONOR is not included in Huawei’s shipments; OnePlus is included in OPPO shipments.  Percentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding  Source: Canalys Smartphone Analysis (sell-in shipments), October 2023

iPhone 15 and 15 Plus: Unleashing Premium Features at Reduced Costs

For those who admired the Dynamic Island and the 48MP camera of the iPhone 14 Pro, here's some exciting news - the recently unveiled iPhone 15 and 15 Plus come equipped with top-notch features inherited from last year's Pro lineup. This positions them as substantial upgrades, even for users with older smartphones dating back to 2022.

What's more, the transition from the outdated Lightning port to the versatile USB-C is the cherry on top. If you encounter any iPhone issues, consider reaching out to the premier iPhone repair services in Kolkata.

Celebrating the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus

There was a time when the standard iPhone model ruled the sales charts, but that era has faded. In the first half of 2023, the iPhone 14 Pro Max claimed the top spot in global sales. However, this flagship device boasted features absent in the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. With Apple's latest offerings, the lines between premium and standard models have significantly blurred.

As my experience with them demonstrates, the more budget-friendly options in the iPhone 15 series incorporate many features previously reserved for the Pro lineup. Remarkably, these enhancements come with substantial cost savings, ranging from $200 to $400 compared to the new Pro models. For dependable iPhone repair services, consider Ctechitsolutions.

Staying True to the Basics

Before delving into the changes introduced in the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, let's first review what remains consistent.

The iPhone 15 retains the same screen size as its predecessor at 6.1 inches, while the iPhone 15 Plus maintains its 6.7-inch display, mirroring last year's model.

However, significant improvements have been made. The peak outdoor brightness has been elevated to 2,000 nits, doubling the brightness of the previous generation. When I compared the iPhone 15 to the 14 in direct sunlight, the difference was striking. This enhancement proves invaluable for outdoor photography, as not only is the viewfinder content more visible, but it also closely resembles the final image. For any issues with your iPhone, Ctechitsolutions can provide the best assistance.

iPhone 15 vs. iPhone 15 Plus: Size Matters

The primary distinction between the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus lies in their screen sizes: 6.1 inches versus 6.7 inches. Concerning the processor, storage, and nearly all other features, they are virtually identical.

These size differences can impact the device's portability and the ease of reading lengthy messages or entire websites on the screen. I would recommend anyone torn between the two models to carefully consider how much time they spend actively using the device versus how often it resides in their pocket.

Embarking on a Journey to the Dynamic Island

One of the standout features of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max from the previous year was the Dynamic Island. As mentioned earlier, this feature has made its way to the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, marking a significant enhancement.

This exemplifies turning a constraint into a feature. Apple ingeniously transformed the necessary cutout in the screen for the front-facing camera and Face ID sensors into a space for displaying notifications.

It's truly ingenious. As I write this, I'm tracking the score of a Major League Baseball game within the Dynamic Island, which doesn't encroach upon essential screen space. When I put Apple Maps in the background while receiving driving directions, they conveniently display in the Dynamic Island. These are just a couple of examples among many.

Apple has meticulously considered the user interface, ensuring that notifications seamlessly appear within the Dynamic Island, automatically adjusting its size as needed.

The only downside is that like myself (and probably everyone else), I had grown accustomed to the iPhone's screen notch and ceased noticing it long ago. The new hole-punch design requires a period of adjustment, but it's a matter of acclimation.

Now that the Dynamic Island is no longer exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro models, I anticipate greater support for it from third-party applications.

Elevated Processor Performance

Another noteworthy inclusion adopted from the iPhone 14 Pro models is the Apple A16 processor. During testing, my iPhone 15 Plus achieved a score of 6,349 on the Geekbench 6 multi-core test, signifying an 18% improvement over the iPhone 14.

Nevertheless, we've moved well beyond the era where incremental processor improvements significantly impact day-to-day iPhone performance. However, if your current device is three years old, upgrading to a much faster one is now a viable option. The A16 processor represents a substantial 45% leap over the chip found in the iPhone 12.

It's worth mentioning that the iPhone 15 Pro models are equipped with the A17 Pro chip, which registers a score of approximately 7,100 on the Geekbench 6 multi-core test, roughly 12% faster than the chip in the iPhone 15 Plus. Yet, this is not a difference you're likely to discern in your daily usage. If you encounter any iPhone issues, consider consulting experienced professionals like Ctechitsolutions.

Is a Used Samsung Galaxy A13 5G Still a Competitive Choice in 2023?

In a world where smartphones are continually evolving and new models flood the market each year, it's easy to overlook the value and capabilities of slightly older devices. The Samsung Galaxy A13 5G, introduced in 2022, was a notable mid-range addition to Samsung's lineup. While it may not be the latest and greatest, it still holds significant appeal, especially for budget-conscious consumers or those looking for reliable performance without breaking the bank.

In this comprehensive article, we'll delve into whether a used Samsung Galaxy A13 5G remains a competitive choice in 2023. We'll explore its specifications, performance, camera capabilities, software updates, and more to help you make an informed decision.

Samsung Galaxy A13 5G: A Quick Overview

Before we dive into the specifics, let's get acquainted with the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G. This smartphone features a 6.5-inch TFT LCD display, a MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G chipset, and a quad-camera system. It comes with Android 11 out of the box and offers a balance of features and affordability.

Performance and Hardware

One of the first considerations when assessing the competitiveness of a used smartphone is its performance. The Galaxy A13 5G boasts a MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G chipset, which, while not a top-tier processor, is more than capable of handling everyday tasks. You can expect smooth performance when browsing the web, using social media, or streaming content.

However, it's important to note that this isn't a high-end gaming or multitasking powerhouse. If you're a heavy mobile gamer or require intensive multitasking, you may experience occasional lags or delays. Nevertheless, for the average user, the performance is reliable and sufficient.

Display and Build Quality

The Samsung Galaxy A13 5G sports a 6.5-inch TFT LCD display. While it's not an AMOLED panel found in more premium Samsung devices, it still offers vibrant colors and sharp visuals. The resolution is decent, providing a pleasant viewing experience for multimedia consumption, including videos, photos, and gaming.

In terms of build quality, the Galaxy A13 5G features a plastic frame and back. This design choice helps keep the device lightweight and cost-effective. While it may not exude the premium feel of glass and metal, it's sturdy and can withstand everyday wear and tear.

Camera Capabilities

Camera performance is a significant consideration for many smartphone users. The Galaxy A13 5G features a quad-camera system, which includes a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 5-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.

In well-lit conditions, the primary camera can capture detailed and vibrant photos. The ultra-wide-angle lens is handy for capturing expansive landscapes or group shots. However, in low-light situations, the camera's performance can be somewhat limited. Noise and loss of detail become more noticeable.

For casual photography and social media sharing, the Galaxy A13 5G's camera system should suffice. It may not match the capabilities of flagship smartphones, but it offers versatility and decent image quality.

Software Updates and Longevity

Software updates are a crucial aspect of a smartphone's longevity and competitiveness. As of its release, the Galaxy A13 5G came with Android 11 and Samsung's One UI 3.1. Samsung typically provides at least two major Android OS updates for its mid-range devices.

In this context, the Galaxy A13 5G is expected to receive updates up to Android 13, which means it should stay relevant and secure for the foreseeable future. Regular security updates are also part of Samsung's commitment to device security.

Battery Life and Endurance

Battery life is another critical factor when evaluating a smartphone's competitiveness. The Galaxy A13 5G is equipped with a 5,000mAh battery, which is relatively large and ensures a full day of use on a single charge for most users. This device's efficiency and the lower power demands of the MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset contribute to its enduring battery life.

While the battery life should remain robust for quite some time, it's essential to consider that battery health naturally degrades over extended use. Therefore, when purchasing a used Galaxy A13 5G, inquire about the battery's condition, and if necessary, have it replaced to restore its endurance.

Connectivity and 5G Support

As the name suggests, the Galaxy A13 5G boasts 5G connectivity, making it future-proof in terms of network technology. With 5G networks expanding globally, having a 5G-capable device can be a considerable advantage for faster data speeds and improved network performance.

Whether you're streaming high-definition content, downloading large files, or engaging in video calls, 5G support ensures a smoother and more responsive experience. This feature alone gives the Galaxy A13 5G a competitive edge, especially in a world where connectivity is increasingly vital.

Conclusion: A Balanced Choice for Budget-Conscious Consumers

In conclusion, a used Samsung Galaxy A13 5G remains a competitive choice in 2023 for individuals seeking a budget-friendly smartphone with reliable performance and 5G connectivity. While it may not offer the bells and whistles of flagship devices, it strikes a balance between features and affordability.

With dependable performance, a capable camera system, software updates, and enduring battery life, the Galaxy A13 5G is well-suited for daily tasks, multimedia consumption, and staying connected in the 5G era. If you're a budget-conscious consumer or don't require the latest flagship features, this device provides an excellent value proposition.

In the rapidly evolving world of smartphones, older models like the Galaxy A13 5G demonstrate that you don't always need the latest technology to enjoy a competitive and satisfying mobile experience.

My Redragon Hylas (H260) Gaming Headset Review (w/ my Paper Dolls) - Part 1 [Jan 18th, 2023]

Hello! 2023 has already arrived, and I'm starting off with this new gaming headset from Christmas of 2022 (gifted by my lil' brother). 🎄🎁 Pls watch my recorded video. ↑🎦📲

So, here's Part 1 of my Redragon Hylas (H260) gaming headset (featuring my paper dolls). 🎮🎧😊

So, without further ado, let's get started:

1st to 3rd Image(s): ↑

• Here's the box itself. Nothing much to say, but some promising pictures of the inside item, as well as some information & specs about the Hylas gaming headset. 📦🙂 Are you excited to reveal the main item, you two? Then, let's not waste our time! 😁

BTW: You can zoom in on the 2nd image if you want to dive & read the information you need. 📰🔍

4th & 5th Image(s): ↑

• Inside the box are three accessories. Including, a fold user manual, an audio adapter cable, and a sheet of Redragon stickers. The latter, I don't usually use stickers. But, on the bright side, that audio adapter cable is very useful for my single audio jack devices (e.g. smartphone, MP3 player, etc.) Right, you two? Yeah. 🙂

6th to 8th image(s): ↑

• Finally, the main item of the show! The Redragon Hylas gaming headset! Man, it looks pretty neat in white color. However, the black could be better, although my Lil brother said "they all ran out of stock at the gaming store". Mmmm, It's alright. After all, I've already got the black color in a form of a Redragon keyboard (Rudra K565R [CLICK ME!]), so why not add a white gaming accessory to the mix, huh? 🙂

• [8th Image] My paper dolls here are trying to fit in with my new gaming headset. Unfortunately, Chowder went crumble & he hurt himself in a uncomfortable sandwich between Panini & the right earmuff. I guess, they're too tight for them... Hehe.😅

9th to 18th Image(s): ↑

• Now, that my paper dolls are out of away, let's dive in some anatomy of my new gaming headset.

• [9th to 15th Images] The construction itself we're made in cheap plastic material, which gives this a budget line-up PC peripheral. From the microphone piece (which is short) to soft cushion earmuffs & headband (which are soft & easy to press w/ my fingers. Plus, the "Redragon" logo on top of the cushion headband), to the adjustable headbands are also made in cheap plastic instead of a piece of metal material.

• [16th Image] By far, my favorite feature is the built-in cable (measuring up to 6-foot) was made in nylon braided material for anti-bend & anti-tangle features, plus a velcro cable strap for adjusting. If only this gaming headset will be a detachable cable instead of the opposite. Then again, I'm not gonna use it for my outside purposes, so my gaming headset remains at home. 🏠🖥️🎧

• [17th & 18th Images] And let's not forget the audio cables (color green for sound & color pink for microphone) & one USB type-A. Which are gold-plated, by the way. The latter of whom for the RGB light, which I'll show to you, in Part 2. Plus, I REALLY do appreciate that they include USB & audio jack cap protectors to prevent corrosion. And when I'm done using my Redragon headset, I could plug it in w/ two aforementioned caps & then tie it up with the velcro cable strap for a clean approach. 🎧🧹😊

19th to 24th Image(s): ↑

• Alright, let's have some comparison. I have my current wireless headset, the ZNT Soundfit. Between the size & style, they're completely differ w/ opposite ways.

BTW #2: Pls ignore the tear cushions of my current ZNT headphones. We've all been there when it comes to wearing headphones on our daily basis.

25th Image: ↑
