Galaxy S4 DROP TEST with a Case!

Posted on June 13, 2013 by Max Lee

droptest

You all probably seen many Galaxy S4 drop tests on YouTube and while they entertain you with completely broken screens, they do not show you anything. I know all of these guys are doing drop tests do generate millions of views but seriously does that show you ANYTHING?

If you drop any of latest smartphones without a case on cement ground enough times, it’s going to break the screen eventually.

Well, I thought it would be a good idea to actually do a drop test with a case since that would actually show you how a case can protect your phone.

So, you’ve decided to sell your Note 2 and get the S4 or can’t decide between the two?

Most U.S. carriers including AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon, will charge you an extra “tethering monthly fee” (around $20-30) if you want wifi tethering enabled on your phone so you can share your phone’s internet with other wifi devices you own such as Android tablets, desktop computer, etc…etc…

Now, U.S. is the ONLY country in the world where carriers charge you twice for the same internet you already paid for. In countries like South Korea, Thailand, and the rest of the world, there’s no extra tethering monthly charges to use the wifi

Galaxy S4 vs. HTC One BLINDFOLD FEEL TEST!

Posted on May 8, 2013 by Max Lee

the-5-year-old-feel-test-galaxys4-htcone

After having the Galaxy S4 for over a week now and HTC One for just over a day, I do have to admit the HTC One has a “premium” build, specifically a uni-body aluminum casing that does give it more weight and solidarity.

However, I do think “feel” is completely different from “build”, and to me personally, I think the Galaxy S4 “feels” more comfortable to hold than the HTC One due to its smooth edges. In general, I do believe phones with rounded edges are more comfortable to hold than with sharp edges.

That’s how &

HTC One Unboxing!

Posted on May 7, 2013 by Max Lee

htcone-unboxing

Well, my HTC One finally arrived yesterday after an agonizing 2 week wait. But in the end, it was well worth the wait because I only paid $574 for an unlocked version directly from HTC.com. Of course, unlocked here means that the phone is “SIM” unlocked for using with any GSM network, the bootloader is still locked (but you can use HTCDev.com to unlock that).

The unlocked HTC One is probably the “best deal” in town right now at just $574 with LTE support and latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor. You will have to cough up at least $100-200 mor

There has been some big hardware/software improvements over the last year with the latest Galaxy S4 over the S3, let’s go take a look at some of it.

The biggest difference to your naked eye between the Galaxy S4 and the Galaxy S3 is that you will notice a more rectangular shape on the S4 over the last year’s curvier S3.

Galaxy S4 Exynos Octa-Core vs. Qualcomm Snapdragon! Which One Is Better?

Posted on April 30, 2013 by Max Lee

galaxys4-exynos-octacore-vs-qualcomm-snapdragon

Today we will be talking about the differences between Exynos Octacore and the Qualcomm Quadcore processors used on the Samsung Galaxy S4.

Many U.S., Canadian, and European countries with 4G LTE ships with the Qualcomm processor while countries with no 4G LTE ships with the GT-i9500 Octa-core Exynos.

Of course, the Koreans get the best with both Octacore and 4G LTE. I believe this is due to the fact that 4G LTE frequencies used in Korea are easy to develop therefore used with Octacore. And also, there may be production issues with the newer Exynos processors.
