!!NOTES!! Correction: the GPU is the Mali-G68 MC4, *not* the G64 MC4. Also, I since I recorded the audio in separate & in a staggered way I didn't comment on the insonsistent CPU utilization in regards to the big/LITTLE load balancing. Sometimes the more numerous LITTLE cores are used, while other times it seems that the fewer but faster big cores are. I can't quite determine why this is. !!END NOTES!!

After using the Galaxy A34 5G, which isn't readily for sale in the US, here is my review. Overall it's a competent phone for about $300 (eBay). If you're ok not having a warranty as a customer in the US, then it's a pretty good deal. Buying a used Pixel 6 is probably a better deal, just be aware of the degraded battery on a 2+ year old phone (the Pixel, that is).

I bought the Samsung Galaxy A34 5G for a review I'm going to start working on. However, that's going to take quite some time. So, here's the performance analysis with the HoYoVerse game - Honkai: Star Rail. The Dimensity 1080 & Mali G68 MC4 is quite the competent mid-range gaming SoC! -- Music Credit -- All music from in-game sources during combat sequences.

With the release of Honkai Star Rail, I was curious how this new game would run on different hardware. I put a couple hours of time on my Galaxy Tab S6 Lite & Pixel 6 to see how well the games perform on release week! Let me know what hardware you're playing on & if it's working well for you!

A micro-sized Windows 11 install, that has all the bloatware & spyware removed! How's it compare to a bog-standard Windows 11 install in terms of basic battery life? Well, the results might surprise you... Episode Notes (Google Docs) https://docs.google.com/document/d/19fGg6GwL2vWlY3wrw9vCihiPDKnUn8MRRpVwYhIgdlQ/edit?usp=sharing
