Okay, so ... it's been a while since I had the chance to start playing with the phone and it's time I do my review, because honestly, it's been such a power-house that I've been distracted with just 'playing' with it.  It's literally become my Steamdeck or Switch. And right off the hop, I have to say that as cool a phone it is, I didn't make it my daily.  I didn't see much in it that was that much of a 'change' (there's improvement, but not much fundamental shift) from the 12, and we did the 'pepsi challenge' with the Pixel and that... well, we know what happened . So, as it wasn't my 'daily', I probably didn't get to experience a lot of the 'nuances' I might if I had, but I had tried with the 12, and I feel a lot of those things are still present and part of the 13.  So much of what was in my 12 review , probably still apply (just upgrade those specs). Speaking of...
