Quick Thoughts on the Samsung Galaxy Note 5

Some of them have already been replaced by a newer and better model, and others that are just not that interesting at all. But this is special though. This is one of those rare devices that took the path less travelled. This is one of those rare devices that I just had to write about despite its age (in tech years).

Quick Thoughts on the Sony Xperia Z3+


The Sony Xperia Z3+ is probably one of the devices that I am least excited about this year, seeing that it is a pretty minor bump over the Xperia Z3. Nonetheless, I got my hands on one on launch day, and would like to share some of my quick thoughts on the device.
