Smartphone and Cellphone Wars

Sa Android pag tinype mo name ng contact sa messages, hindi kagad lalabas yung buong messaging history. If you wanna see the entire messaging history you have to search it in the inbox.

Sa photos yung android ang tindi ng shutter lag and boot time ng app. S6 palang nagagamit ko na mabilis, eh yung iPhone since 4S mabilis na.

Little stuff that specs don't show but make my life easier. Sa totoo lang natatawa ako sa marketing ng Apple kasi kung makasalita parang tanga yung mga tao na sunud sunuran lang kasi yung ibang claims nila ang OA eh napakasimpleng bagay lang. But what I have to give to Apple is that their products are designed in such a way that I find it easier to use.

Of course there are also some annoyances like not being able to transfer files to PCs without iTunes, or having to go inside settings to turn off 3G, or not being able to run emulator apps, or having to pay for good apps (Android has better free apps).

I've been tinkering with computers even before I was a teenager so it's not because I'm a technophobe. But I like to keep my day-to-day interactions with my phone simple.

Naka-JB iPhone mo? If this isn't a JB app, do you mind sharing? It'll be a big help for me.

Ayoko na magJB kasi hassle pag may new update ng iOS. Yung lumang iPod touch ko nalang yung nakaJB.

Jialbroken jut. [emoji3]

But seriously I think this will be my last jail broken I gadgets. Pag labas ng IOS 9. Hinde na siguro.

Sana by iOS9 ilagay na nila yung 3G shortcut haha.

Or gandahan ang battery life para hindi ko na kailangan ioff ang 3G.

I noticed though, not a single mention of battery life in the Apple event.

EDIT: Apple reduced the 6S' battery from 1810 to 1715 mAh. So mukhang stuck pa rin tayo sa 1-day battery life (which reduces to half a day after a year or so).

Wait for a Android app like Live Shot. It is just a photo with an attached 4k video. Takaw iyan sa memory so it might not take off. Actually luma na concept since Canon video cameras have that...

Defeats the purpose of a slim phone as I have to bring my powerbank all the time. Super hassle.

Ganun talaga. iPhone naman! [emoji23] i don't even bring powerbank dito I can basically charge anywhere. As soon as I get in the car charge na.

Sometimes sa mall if low batt I go into a power Mac store and charge my phone there.

And I don't turn off my data. 24/7 kahit sa bahay I don't connect to wifi. I just need to turn off my LTE this past few days dahil meron daw enhancement na ginagawa that's why I can't get any LTE signal but as soon as it's up LTE all the way.

Tapos ngayon binago na nila yung "waterproof" stand nila. Wag na daw gamitin underwater. Samantalang yung previous promo videos ng Z series pinagmamalaki pa pwede mag take ng pictures underwater since may dedicated shutter button naman. Pero IP68 rating pa din naman yung Z5 series.

Haay Sony ano nanaman nangyayari sa inyo. If their prices were significantly less madami naman bibili, madami na turnoff sa price tapos di pa available sa mga carriers.

Their phones are also unusable in seawater -- understandable naman siguro, seawater is an electrolyte.

i was seriously considering the z3c a few months ago, purely because of the IP rating. But then nawalan ako ng gana when i heard about the Z4/Z3V/Z5. With that many flagships in such a short time, duda ako that they will provide updates for all. Nagpabili na lang ako ng Moto G ^_^

m8 is the best phone for me for the past 2 years. it does everything i need.. surf, email, occasional gaming, taking photos even in low light, phone calls. 2 years and still as good as new. it still is the most beautiful phone out there.

+1 on this, I'm also using M8, still the best phone I've used.
