Review: Samsung Galaxy Note III vs IPhone 5S

Chuzzy 0 Apple, Apple iPhone 5S, Review, Samsung, Samsung Galaxy Note III 1:31 pm

Earlier this month, two smartphone manufacturing giants Samsung and Apple made some announcement on a new release of phones: <a href="http://www.daechuzzy.com/2013/09/review-unveiling-of-samsung-galaxy-note.html">Galaxy Note III</a> and iPhone 5S respectively. 
And with the release dates just around the corner (Galaxy Note III in early October and iPhone 5S around 20th September), smartphone enthusiasts and users are already prepping the list of most likely purchase. No doubt, these two smartphones are also likely to make that list! 
There have been reviews here and there for the smartphones and I recently came across a very wonderful review of the Samsung Galaxy Note III vs the iPhone 5S from <a href="http://www.gottabemobile.com">Gottabemobile</a>. 
Just to help those who might be in a dilemma about which of Galaxy Note III and iPhone 5S to purchase, author, <a href="http://www.gottabemobile.com/author/adam/">Adam Mill</a> from Gottabemobile has done justice to things you need to consider before making your final decision between the two devices. 
Some of the things you might want to note about the two devices include:
1) The Galaxy Note III is a better device if you are a sucker for gaming and videos. With its well pronounced 5.7-inch screen. It just makes the gaming experience better. The iPhone 5S on the other hand has a meager 4-inch screen. 
2) If you prefer portability, then you might consider the iPhone 5S. It has a 4-inch screen, is thinner and weighs less than the Samsung Galaxy Note III. With the iPhone weighing 56 grams less than the Note III at 112 grams and 0.7mm slimmer than the Note III at 7.6mm. 
P.S: I'm not in anyway saying the Galaxy Note III is not portable, I'm only saying the iPhone 5S is more portable of the two devices. :-) 
3) The iPhone 5S promises better security with it's fingerprint reader security. 
4) The Galaxy Note III promises more memory space with 96GB (32GB internal and 64GB expandable) where the iPhone 5S comes in three variants sporting 16, 32 and 64GB. And as we know iPhone's don't support external memory cards.

And if you intend buying any of these smartphones. Do well to let us know which one and why.

Chuzzy 2 Phones, Review, Tecno, Tecno Phantom A2 7:05 pm

Tecno mobile is at it again. Just a while back, roughly 6 months (precisely in May), Tecno launched a groundbreaking smartphone device, the Tecno Phantom A and later following it up with a Phantom A+.

While the Phantom A comes with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS and a 1.0GHz dual-core processor, the Phantom A2 sports a 4.2 Jelly Bean OS, a quad-core processor with 1.2GHz frequency and support for 3.75G networkk. It comes packed with a 2630mAh battery (whereas the Phantom A packs a measly 2100mAh battery). 
The Tecno phone makers have also stepped up their game with a 13MP rear camera and a whooping 8MP front facing camera.
The Phantom A2 device is thinner than the Phantom A by 0.2mm appearing  8.9mm thick and looks very promising with it's 5.7'' screen. Great for lovers of large screen.
