Where tech gets a more inclusive edit. Basil here, a tech journalist of 15+ years. This is where I'm combining my experience in tech with my inclusive values and, hopefully, a lot of fun. That means tech reviews, camera comparisons, first looks and more, but expect a space where pride is celebrated, where conversations you may not expect to have on other tech channels are had, and where silly is encouraged. It's visibility, not rocket science, so I'll stop explaining, but if you want to start a conversation, whether you agree or don't, drop me a comment :)

Video Description
What’s the best smartphone zoom camera for concerts this Pride Month 2025? I tested seven flagship phones at a Kylie gig — same distance, same stage, all handheld clips — and put their telephoto chops to the ultimate real-world test. Which phones? The Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max, Google Pixel 9 Pro, Oppo Find X8 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, Sony Xperia 1 VII, Vivo X200 Ultra, and Xiaomi 15 Ultra, and stabilisation was fantastic across all of them, however, clarity, exposure and dynamic range varied wildly. So whether you're into photography, concerts, or just want the best camera phone of the year, this video’s for you. To enter the competition, comment with the number of Kylie songs mentioned in the intro before June 10 at 9am BST, and the randomly selected winner will win a Redmi Watch 5 and three straps. Good luck!
