    When Phones Learn to Survive—The Solar Phone Question.

    I've been thinking about this for nearly half my life: why do our phones always run out of battery at the worst possible moment? In this episode, we trace the journey from the first telephones to today’s smartphones, explore why solar power hasn’t changed the game, and consider what could happen if our devices started harvesting energy from the world around them: body heat, motion, even radio waves. What if our phones stopped being energy-hungry and became energy-aware instead? A conversation about technology, life, and why something as simple as battery life can tell us a lot about the way we live.

    Galaxy S26: Everything We Know So Far — And Why the Glass Might Be the Real Story.

    The Galaxy S26 is still a long way off, but enough signals are already starting to surface — not flashy leaks, but patterns in design, materials, and Samsung’s long-term strategy. In this episode, we take a step back and look at everything we know so far about the Galaxy S26: the design direction, display philosophy, performance focus, camera evolution, and why durability is quietly becoming the most interesting part of the story. Then, we shift gears. What happens if Samsung really is building displays tough enough to make screen protectors less necessary? What does that mean for consumers — especially in markets like Ghana where replacement screens are expensive? Is this genuine progress, or is there a longer game at play? Just careful observation, context, and honest perspective.

    AI Is Everywhere Now — But What Is It Doing to You?

    AI is no longer a future concept — it’s built into how we use our phones every day. In this episode, we explore how artificial intelligence is quietly reshaping real user experience on Android. From smart features that anticipate our actions to system-level decisions we rarely notice, this conversation breaks down what AI is actually doing beneath the interface. We discuss how AI is influencing usability, personalisation, and control, and why privacy in 2026 looks less like data breaches and more like invisible trade-offs. You’ll hear practical insights on on-device AI versus cloud intelligence, how Android users are affected specifically, and what it means when convenience starts making choices for us. This episode isn’t about hype or fear — it’s about understanding how AI has become infrastructure, not just a feature. If you use an Android phone, this is the episode that helps you see what’s already happening. Sponsored by Blockx Interactive.

    The AI Revolution Is Here (Android’s Turn?)

    After an unexpected pause, The Tech Junkie returns at a moment when the tech industry is quietly—but decisively—changing shape. In this episode, we break down the real story behind the AI shift dominating 2026: Samsung baking AI into every Galaxy device, Apple finally rethinking Siri from the ground up, and why longtime Android player Asus has chosen to walk away from smartphones altogether. This isn’t about hype or specs—it’s about power, direction, and what your next device will actually be capable of. Recorded during a personal transition back into tech—with an Android device in hand—this episode sets the tone for the year ahead: practical analysis, industry context, and honest takes on where consumer technology is headed. The comeback starts here.

    The iPhone 17 Pro Review: The Real Flagship Experience

    In the last episode, we explored the iPhone 17 Air — Apple’s lightest flagship yet, slim and sleek but with compromises that showed up in endurance, camera flexibility, and long-term usability. This time, we’re stepping into heavyweight territory with the iPhone 17 Pro. Stainless steel build, a brighter ProMotion 120 Hz LTPO display, a bigger battery, triple-lens camera system, and smoother thermal performance make this the model that feels like Apple’s true flagship.

    iPhone 17 Air Review: Beautifully Thin, Painfully Apple

    We finally get our hands on the iPhone 17 Air — Apple’s thinnest iPhone yet. In this episode, I break down everything: the stunning design, the surprisingly durable titanium frame, and of course, the elephant in the room — that tiny battery. From bend tests to Apple’s “problem → solution” accessory cycle (hello, MagSafe power bank), we’re unpacking the good, the bad, and the little quirks Apple won’t tell you about. If you’ve been wondering whether the Air is more than just a pretty flex, this deep dive is for you.
