Yup, yesterday was the big day for Samsung in Jamaica and I was on site (Digicel in Tropical Plaza) to watch it unfold. The Galaxy S4 went on sale at 10 am on April 27, 2013 for a special price of $75,000 plus GCT, and their were persons forming lines to purchase this eight core, 5 inch display Goliath of a phone called the S4. Spirits were high as you can see from the photo below, but not as high as the Facebook winners of the phone. So, as promised... I have gotten a hold of a Galaxy S4 and I'll be putting it through it's paces for the weekend, so by Monday I should have a short review for persons to enjoy. Until then... I have left an unboxing video below to enjoy.
Have you ever played a game that was so good but half way
through it you realize that... Wait, am I the bad guy?!?!... I am the one doing the
most sinister things in the game and it feels wrong, but enjoyable. Well, let's
start this first game review with a small dedication to the good/bad guys that starred
three of the most enjoyable games I
played last year.
Digicel will be the first provider of the Galaxy S4 then maybe LIME after.
Price not confirmed as yet, but it will be on sale April 27, 2013.
Jamaica (Our blessed country) is one of the few countries that will have the Octa-Core version for sale.
I real think I should repeat this... Jamaica (Our blessed country) is one of the FEW countries that will have the Octa-Core version for sale.
Samsung is giving away one Galaxy S4 a day on their Facebook page. Samsung Electronics Co. is offering the chance for consumers in Jamaica to win the coveted Samsung GALAXY S4 through the “Be the First” contest on its “Samsung Mobile Caribbean” Facebook page. Samsung is making it simple for users to be the first to get their hands on the highly-anticipated Smartphone, which has not yet arrived in Jamaica. Users can simply enter the “Samsung Mobile Jamaica” Facebook page and click on “Be the First.” On that page, you can choose from a list of posts about the GALAXY S4 and share it on your wall. Your friends play a vital role in your chance of winning the coveted Smartphone, as posts with the most “Likes” for the day wins. If you end up in first place in the contest, you are assured of taking home the prized GALAXY S4. Samsung will be giving out one phone per day to first place winners from April 22 through April 27. Winners will receive a GALAXY S4 on Saturday, April 27 at Digicel Store in Tropical Plaza at the Samsung product experience area.
Sigh, wish I had a lot of Facebook friends... Oh well... Anyhow, I'm crossing my fingers and toes that the Galaxy S4 reaches in my office soon for a review, I and promise that you as my readers will be the first to see the joys that is Samsung. So until next time... hustle safe.
The saying goes... bigger is better but these days tablets
are being built in all shapes and sizes to please the consumer. The most
popular size in tablets these days are the 7" inch and 8" inch
tablets. So we got hands on the Nexus 7 and the iPad Mini to what's the fuss. I
know that having an iOS device and an Android device in the same article might
cost me my sanity afterwards with the horde of Apple supporters arguing their
points and the allegiance of Android supporters arguing theirs... So I have
broken this article in two to keep my safety.
iPad Mini
Weight : 308 g (10.86 oz)
Pros
- Battery Life ( 10 - 11 hours of heavy usage)
- Weight (It's incredibly light... any lighter and it would float off my desk when the wind blows).
- Build Quality (It feels sturdy enough to be used as surf board and still be functional).
- Access to Apple's highly successful App store.
- Lower resolution display than competitors.
- Price (It's an Apple product... enough said)
This device is amazing when it comes to power and performance and there is no doubt about that. Apps (applications) load up instantly and navigating through the OS is smooth and quick without any lag. The rear camera is the best I have seen on a tablet to date the only component missing is a flash. The display may not be this best on the market but it isn't awful as some may paint it. For around $40,000 or $50,000 dollars you can get 16gb Wi-Fi only version locally brand new which is not bad compared to what large 10" inch tablets are being sold for locally. The iPad Mini is the only Apple Tablet I wish I owned personally because it just feel perfect in the palm of your hands... Please don't hurt me android users.
