BlackBerry Q10 Review: Return Of The Classical

  • June 18, 2013

BlackBerry Q10sIt’s been a rough few years for BlackBerry, formerly Research In Motion. From execs jumping ship, to selling jets to make up for costs, and falling sales — BlackBerry has definitely seen less bruising days. But, a light bulb went off at the Canadian company, and BlackBerry 10.1 was born. Improvements, all around, and a new touchscreen slate smartphone — the Z10.

But, that was diverting from BlackBerry roots: you see, a real BlackBerry uses a QWERTY keyboard.

And this is it: the BlackBerry Q10. It’s supposed to compete with the likes of Samsung, Apple, and HTC. So, the question is: can it? And if so, should you buy it?

Brevity Review: The Official Galaxy S 4 Flip Cover Is — Well, It’s A Cover

  • June 14, 2013

S4 Flip Cover

After testing three different Galaxy S 4 smartphones, I’ve become rather familiar with its daily quirks, tendencies, and sheer awesomeness if used correctly. I’ve also found out that Samsung’s official flip cover work rather nicely when used for protection of the precious screen itself; after all they produce many great S4 cases. Even better, you can implement it into the device fully: you remove the existing battery cover that came with the S4, then replace with the new one that is attached to the suede cover.

Acer Aspire S7 Review: Hello, Skinny

  • June 12, 2013

Acer Aspire S7Acer has never been known as a super popular manufacturer of laptops. But then, the concept of Ultrabooks came along, and that all changed. Acer released the S7, and got props for creating one of the best super thin laptops running Windows 8 and using Intel Core technology. Enter, June of 2013, and a revision of that laptop has been announced: complete with an optional 2560×1440 display, bigger battery, and a new Intel Haswell processor, it aims to be the best in its category. However, just before the announcement, Acer sent me the current model without said improvements that will come out, later in the year. This is a review of Acer’s rise to Ultrabook popularity: the S7, first generation model.

LG Optimus G Pro Review: Oh My, What Have We Here?

  • June 9, 2013

IMGP2396

A 5.5-inch smartphone from LG? Oh, my. Entering “phablet” territory — that is, the fusion between a smartphone and tablet size — is something only a few smartphone manufacturers are actually willing to do. After all, not everyone wants to buy a phone that could only be used with two hands, and if you have to be able to use it with one hand, then you’d still have to deal with it covering most of your face. Then it can be inferred that while using it, you’d look rather silly using your giant phone for a call. So really, the only thing it has going for it is if the Optimus G Pro is actually fun to use, besides being insanely fast. More on that later.

Brevity Review: Salt Optics Vargas Aviator Sunglasses

  • June 9, 2013

DSC00551>Another pair of shades from the cool dudes at Salt Optics? Sure, why not? The Vargas aviator sunglasses aren’t very different from the Lawson — however, the former has a special paint job and different style of lens. Aviator sunglasses have an uncanny feel about them; being somewhat flashy, yet civilized, striking yet subtle. If you have a face structure that can support them, then it’s the best style to utilize for the summer, which without a doubt will be sweltering hot, sunny, and mandatory to wear sunglasses — at least in New York City.

Brevity Review: Samsung Galaxy S 4 (Verizon Wireless)

  • June 6, 2013

DSC00522

Having already extensively reviewed the AT&T version of the Galaxy S 4, it takes very little to differ the original opinions that were mentioned — the S4 proves that Samsung is at its prime, creating a successful Android device that exists not only as a Samsung product, but now as a Google Edition device. Basically, for a full review, you should read the original.

But, in Verizon Wireless’s case, there’s a difference content: it’s service on the aforementioned network and AWS LTE support; and of course there’s also the carrier-branded apps. Check out Samsung’s latest LTE device, after the break.

Samsung Galaxy S 4 Review: So Many Features (Sometimes) Hurts

  • May 22, 2013

Samsung Galaxy S4 ReviewIt’s been a few weeks since the general availability of the Galaxy S 4 from Samsung. Despite not even having a complete launch (Verizon is absent from the Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile launch until the end of the month), nearly 10 million units have been shipped worldwide. Aesthetically, the Galaxy S 4 has barely changed from the previous model — a few changes here and there — but the real change comes from the internals, plus a completely revamped Touchwiz UI for Android Jelly Bean.

It’s time to cut to the chase, and see if Samsung has another winner in the Galaxy S 4. Go on past the break and find out!

Brevity Review: Black Diamond ReVolt Headlamp

  • May 20, 2013

ReVolt HeadlampIt’s simple, really. A headlamp with many distinct operating modes: strobe for emergency situations, dual-LEDs for even light coverage, and a single, bright 110 lumen LED that will literally blind you — or just pierce the void of darkness you happen to be facing in the woods or during a natural disaster. Or perhaps, just the lighting piece to your doomsday kit.
