Apple Iphone 6 & 6 Plus:THE HEARTTHROB IS IN TOWN

The new Iphone 6 has caused quite a buzz. These two twins have been up to quite some mischief ever since they launched. I guess it was to infinity and beyond for Apple CEO Tim Cook since the smartphones are selling like hot, fresh, Jamie Oliver Cupcakes with a signature berry on top from Nigella. His salary as a CEO? Unbelieveable. Though the smartphone doesn't change it's looks it still is quite sexy to look at. It's design goes along with those new cufflinks you just bought or those limited edition high heels from Louis Vuitton. Never a dull moment when you take it out for taking that business call from singapore. Classy, elegant and undoubtedly smart, it's still the head of the pack.

I've always hated the teeny tiny screen from my old Iphone, I was frustrated with the typos, couldn't watch any movie on it since it would dwarf out my favourite actors, who wants to watch midgets shoot at each other anyway? Facetime was trying my patience and I was always in sweats of anger, screaming my throat out: " Why didn't I go for the Samsung with the bigger screen?!". The anger made me clench my fist and drove me to want to throw it out of the EMPIRE STATE building, from
the highest of floors. Sold the phone on eBay for far less than I got it for, not because I can't negotiate fair-price but because I wanted it out of my house. After that sale, I roam the net on my Mac, stumble on a website called techcrunch.com, find the content there to be addictive, roam for another hour only to find out that the Iphone 6 is out. Purchase it the next day and from there me and it are inseparable. For starters the screen was bigger, the memory still the best and it offered ease of typing for those squeezed-in late night tweets. I don't have a baby but this one was my bundle of joy. First time I opened the box it was as if the box was a womb for the phone, the earphones were an umbilical cord and the box was birthing it right there and then. Surgeon: "Scalpel"... "now box I want you to push as hard as you can"... "PUSH!"..."PUSH!", surgeon: "It's an IPhone 6". That sir, was an extremely powerful event.

The Iphone 6 is slimmer, bigger, better and packed with exciting engineering. Coming with an HD Retina Display, nice glass and metal finishes, 4.7-inch for the Iphone 6 and 5,5-inch for the 6 plus. The screen doesn't chow-down on your power too, meaning more play and less work in terms of charging. Looking at captured memories is like staring at a gypsy orb, you see things clearer without ever going to see the optometrist to check for eye blur. The software and hardware work in unison to render unfathomed beauty on the display. The engineers certainly envisioned the smartphone quite well, giving it the X-factor that it's predecessors lacked tremendously. We would have still wanted to see Apple as the first one with humongous displays but we are glad that the big display fever caught on to them eventually. Pioneers in the memory game and chip game, they too still have a right to brag and call their rivals some overly ambitious wanna-be's. Large and tall we have yet to still see what developers are going to do with the intense clarity of the screen and picturesque graphics.

With the release of the IOS 8 we have seen a lot of improvement in the user experience of Apple's new flagship. Better software means better web browsing, high-end security and less glitches. Running at 64-bit just the same as rival Samsung, with a godzilla powerhouse A8 chip, M8 motion coprocessor, it is not stupid to say it comes from krypton. The M8 coprocessor efficiently gathers data from advanced sensors and there is also a brand new barometer, most of you won't know these but just know that it is what developers use to give you interactive apps e.g your motion sensors make it possible to tilt your phone and get a landscape screen. Expect to see the same type of experience that would normally come from a computer but better since desktops and laptops don't have whatsapp, kik etc. It is nice to know that when you leave the house PC another mini PC is still in your pocket and making you money at times since some apps pay you to use them. This is another way of amassing funds for that next saturday session poker with the boys.

Ever since someone coined the term " Selfie" we have been ridiculously over using the cameras, whether it be from the rear or from the front. Built with an iSight camera that focuses pixels you will be able to become one of the worlds best photographers, maybe you might even go pro and sell stock images. If like me you are a Youtuber or just simply like taking videos, 1080p HD at 60 fps, slo-mo at 240 fps and some time lapse video capabilities. Picturesque, panoramic, detailed, crisp and clear photos delivered on it's beautiful screen. It is even faster with it's connections with 4g, when you connect to that Wifi it is 3 times faster than normal. Touch ID technology gives you secure phone access, ease of itunes buying so you don't need to use with password, this is what is called Apple Pay. Imagine the possibilities, buying at walmart without the need for your Visa and taking breathtaking pictures of your loved one at a resort somewhere when you forgot your Canon professional camera. People lose smartphones all the time but you won't and if you do the phone would be really useless to the thief since they don't have your fingerprint.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if you don't have one of these babies your technology is probably outdated. Get a new one or get it used on eBay, check out for my next post. It's going to be like Miley Cyrus's Bangerz Tour. Check out our latest updates in future for the Iphone 6

The Rumoured Samsung S7 Cowboy


In the past we have seen Samsung testing and displaying it's conceptual OLED screens, slowly trying to pioneer themselves as the "Guys who did it first" in the curved display industry. This is one industry that not even Apple tries to venture in because as they say "It's risky and it is a game changer". Samsung knows that it's customers are very loyal that's why they are unafraid to release their smartphones to the markets because they know that the markets might not handle change well but they will definitely buy. Studies have even shown that the crowd favourite Galaxy S series has sold more than 250 million units but these stats don't include the S6 and S7 since they still have yet to prove profitable and in-demand.

We are expecting the comapany to unveil its flagship in March 2016. The top Houdinis(smartphone magicians) there have been reported to be sorcering(making) the "Next Best Thing" as of this post. Some might say this is just a rumour, well judging that past rumours about the S5 and S6/edge have been true, this one might just as well be, after all, where theres smoke, theres usually a fire. Samsungs marketing plan to apparently release the S7 in the first quarter of 2016 is conivingly well thought out since they want to keenly watch what their rivals at the Apple company are going to release in their Apple Iphone 7 later this year. The Apple Iphone7 or rather 6s versions will be built to raise competitive edge with samsung galaxy's S6/Edge versions that are well crafted and already on the market. Samsung waits for the enemy to attack, when the enemy has exhausted it's arsenal, they switch from defence as to attack the enemy in his openings when they release next year.

The features are said by a source to be expectedly mind blowing, let me spare you the hiroshima and get to the spilling of the beans already. The S7 is going to sport a 64-bit processor, though it was not first in the game with this feature, it's great none-the-less. A huge ram(space) of 4gb will have your laptop of 2gb ram running with it's tail between it's legs. Let's face it, Samsung stank in the memory department compared to its competition Apple, but now it's said to wanna spice things up with 32,64 & 128gb memory, to me that's not spice it's hot sauce. Photo crazy? There'll be a 30mp camera and 10 mp just for you. Like the big screen? You will be ecstatic for days to know that the Electronic giants are going 4K, 5,5 inch Amoled Display with the S7. Samsungs waterproof smartphones look like dirt compared to Sony's Xperia range but they wanna go back and re-invent that with S7 having a waterproof design that is easy on the eye. The bells & whistles continue with 5g network connections,super wifi and also infrared sensor technology which is so 2006 but still we can live with it since it helps when you don't want to buy universal remotes that don't even work.

A high-end smartphone in all it's might that will probably set you back with rent if you do afford it. It will definitely be worth the hard earned buck if you ask me, the steeper the price the better the phone or you can stick with smartphones that are out of the game like Motorolas, dell and other smartphones fishes that are out of the water. You don't need to buy smartphones that have you regret not spending the money with the boys at the local bar or saving for the kids trip to disney land. Samsung is just like Apple, they create a flagship and make 3 versions of it, a cheap one, an affordable one and a highly expensive one. This means that you will be able to find one that fits your budget and at the same time being able to access some of the features, but as they saying goes "the sequel is never better than the original" . Get the family to contribute some funds, work an extra job, get a side business etc. whatever you do just get the darn phone. You can bid for it on eBay, get it for free on some offer sites. You don't want to get left behind the buzz. Be part of it by paying the price for it, it's worth the wallet damage.

My conclusion? We have yet to see Samsung reclaim it's number one spot but till then Apple is taking the lead. My thoughts? Samsung should also amp up it's marketing division if it wants to really compete with Apple. Also Samsung fans should stop waiting by Samsungs manufacturing doors just so they can get it first while it's hot,  but then again they don't listen. Samsung, if you find these type of people squattering by your manufacturing site don't chase them away, give them a blanket, Starbucks coffee and an illegal connection to Tivo since they are probably your most loyal fans.

SAMSUNG S6 Edge:The God King in the Smartphone Kingdom

Long have we awaited a king, a ruler, something to inspire, something to look to forward to, something to make picking up our smartphones worth it, something cool, beautiful, something from our dreams. This is it...this is it.

Forgive me for that dramatic intro, it's just that holding a samsung s6 edge releases so much emotion, we think they knew this was going to happen and they just made the smartphone anyway. It was perfectly crafted so the phone could feel natural in your hand like an extension of you. The glass and metal fusion makes this phone breath-taking, it's design leaves you without words except for these... "I want one".

 My soul was on edge when we had to review it, all that curve in my hand left a panoramic reflection of my self. It's standard cover looked like I was a owner of a gold brick when I put it on the black glass table in my office. The colours on it are incredible,crystal and clear.Meaning Its never hard to look at when I'm on Twitter, pranks on Youtube, just reading through my emails or just skyping my girlfriend to remind her of my bad jokes, she laughs anyway, ofcourse. 

There are always things in my pockets, mostly a pen, a pack of mentos, a swiss knife and ofcourse my favourite swiss knife, my S6 Edge. I'm forever eager to take it out and forever eager to never leave it on the couch, these days dogs eat everything, though I don't have one, a friend of mine might. Let's face it we all have a favourite colour, this is why samsung has come up with something cool for it's device called color code, which let's you tab a contacts color, making it pie-easy to interact with your favourite contacts via text or calling and having innovative color-coding notifications, which let you see who is desperately trying to contact you by flipping the smartphone upside down. We have also seen improved picture quality on the S6 because of it's F1.9 aperture, which simply means better pictures when you snapping panorama from the Shangri-la and taking better girlfies. Another feature we can't possibly leave out is Samsungs Fast charging technology which is far better than what samsung did with the S4 and other smartphone dinosaurs charging capabilities, making the S6 charge faster 1.5 times better than previous versions, we charged it fully for a small time-frame of 10 minutes and for the next 3 hours watched the classic SCARFACE movie, played angry birds and listened to some Drake.

 Samsung S4 had the most memorable bells and whistles but the Samsung S6 edge has piano's, guitars and Stevie Wonders harmonica, now that's a tune your anxious fingers will be playing to. The game graphics also were intense but that's because of the phone's 64-bit architecture, GPU, LPDDR4 and probably a blow of magic dust from Samsungs Wizards. It's HD 5.1 inch screen reminds you of the Big Screen you left home. A Better pixel density provides for better image clarity and it's screen adapts itself to indoor and outdoor environments so your talented cat can never miss it's model photoshoots.

The S6 features are great, trust me when I say this...Awesome. The SAMSUNG S6 edge price though is really steep but definitely worth the dollar. Rounding up it would be totally stupid not to get one or not to upgrade your old dinasour from the jurassic world. I have one so can you. I mean who wouldn't want to have a smartphone that pays for shopping goods with a fingerprint when you forgot your card at home. Stop being stuck in your middle ages, it will make you feel young again. Heard of this Grandma who used it for Instagram and just for that got 2000 followers the next day, apparently she was so cool and apparently she went sky-diving the next day. Keep looking out on our website for the latest on Samsung Galaxy.
