Nice review of the op15

Good that he didn't "feed the algorithm" and lived with the device to give a proper review. Overall, outside the camera senor sizing for low light, it's a pretty great device.

About

We want to find fun tech reviews from folks who deserve more attention!

Real person reviews, smaller blogs, YouTubers. Every little bit of signal boost helps, especially for people building a new channel. Hopefully this community can serve as an incubator for folks to find new content, and share those posts with larger communities.

We won't filter the big blogs and channels, but they're shared enough already on larger platforms. Let's find new commentators to build up and support!

Please add the reviewer's name or channel to the post title, so we can follow them more easily, and don't be shy with the upvotes! When one succeeds, we all succeed!

Community Guidelines

GlowingRectangles is a home for enthusiast tech commentary. There's a wealth of tech content getting overlooked every day. Let's change that.

  • Self promotion is allowed within reason. As long as this policy isn't abused, hopefully we wont have to put hard limits in place.

  • We allow posts from larger blogs and channels, but this community should be focused on finding the more human aspects of tech adoption and experience.

  • Post can be about anything related to tech, but please do not post any personal information relating to the people reviewing.

  • If possible, please do not alter or editorialize a review's title or headline. If the title doesn't properly describe the review's content, please try to use a quote from the piece instead.

  • This is not an area to promote crowd funding efforts.

  • Political posts will be allowed so long as they are focused on technology. Please do not submit press releases or AP/Reuters news feeds to this sub.

Need Tech Support? We'll update soon with appropriate communities.
