iPad Air 2 is one of the best tablet available in the market right now. Not only it sports premium materials and design but the iPad Air 2 is also lightest and thinnest tablet in the market. Since tablets are meant for media consumption, a lot of us needs a stand for our iPads for watching videos and viewing pictures. So if you’re looking for one, check out the Millerton iPad Air 2 case

The Millerton Smart Flipcover for the iPad Air 2 looks simple but it fully protects my device. It has a magnetic cover that works just like the Smart Cover. So whenever you open the cover, the device automatically unlocks your device. And yes, the flip cover is responsive.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

This magnetic cover also functions as a stand and it works pretty well. The stand doesn’t slip off and you can use it in two forms. One form for watching videos while the other one is for typing and web browsing. Actually, it feels better to type with the Millerton Smart Flipcover because of the elevation of the tablet.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

At the back, it is just plastic but I dropped my iPad a lot of times and there were no cracks at the back except at the side but hey, I didn’t have any damage on my iPad Air 2 despite a lot of drops thanks to the Millerton flip cover. The cover doesn’t block the ports and the speaker grill too and I didn’t had any problems with it.

Cherry Mobile Selfie Review  

2

Selfie is becoming a trend and front cameras have been getting better. There were a lot of smartphones that are focusing on their front cameras lately and some of them are making wide angle front cameras on their smartphones like Samsung and Gionee but Cherry Mobile selfie is different, they put a 13-Megapixel BSI camera as their rear camera and also at the front camera. Not only that, Cherry Mobile Selfie also sports an LED flash at the front. Interested? Check out my review below.

 

Construction

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The first thing you’ll notice in this smartphone is the very curvy design. I know, it gives the phone a more feminine look. I don’t find the design attractive but I like the combination of the gold accents and the pearl white back cover, that combination makes the phone look more chic and premium. Despite having a plastic build, the phone is very solid however, the back cover of this smartphone isn’t removable that’s why you can’t replace the battery of the phone.

 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

At the back, you’ll see the Dual-LED flash along with a big circle which is the camera. Again, I don’t find that attractive but some people might like it. The weight of the phone feels just right and since the Cherry Mobile Selfie only have a 4.7-inch display, the phone isn’t big and it feels very comfortable to hold.

 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The sim card slot of the Cherry Mobile Selfie is a little bit weird. Since there’s the back cover isn’t removable, you’ll have to put your sim card into the sim card tray and since the sim card tray is long, you could put 2 sim cards in there – a micro sim and a nano sim. So why is it weird? Because, the nano sim tray can also function as a MicroSD card slot. Yep, it’s either you’ll use two sim on the tray or just use a single sim and a microSD card. A little bit confusing but it’s amazing.

 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The audio quality of the phone isn’t that loud and you might not like the quality of it. Regarding connectivity, I didn’t had problems with the cell reception and WiFi

 

Display 

Cherry Mobile Selfie packs a tall 4.7-inch HD display. For its size, the difference between HD and Full HD on a 4.7-inch display isn’t really noticeable. The bezels on the top and bottom were really thick but not on the sides which makes the phone really comfortable to hold. When it comes to quality, I’m quite satisfied with it. The outside visibility is good and the viewing angles are great. Again, despite not having a Full HD display, it is still great.

 

 

Software

Inside the Cherry Mobile Selfie is MT6592 processor and a 2GB RAM. The specifications of the phone is quite good actually. There’s a powerful octa-core processor inside and there’s a more than enough 2GB of RAM on the phone. And yes, there’s a near-stock Android inside that’s why I barely experienced lags on this smartphone.

 

Since there’s a powerful processor with a 2GB of RAM and only an HD display on this smartphone, running heavy games on this one won’t be a problem. Since there’s a 2 GB or RAM, multi-tasking isn’t a problem here too. I’ve tried different games like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Batman: Arkham Origins and it runs smoothly and without lags. Actually, I didn’t had any problems with it. Cherry Mobile Selfie got a score of 33690 which is pretty good.

 

Battery Life

Cherry Mobile Selfie packs a 2300mAh battery inside. It’s non-removable but the 2300mAh is already enough for the Cherry Mobile Selfie. I was able to use the Cherry Mobile Selfie for a day with moderate use. At heavy use, the Cherry Mobile Selfie can’t last more than a half a day but overall, the battery life of the smartphone is pretty great.

 

Camera

 OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

This smartphone got a 13-Megapixel BSI f/2.0 Camera with Dual-LED Flash and a 13-Megapixel Front camera with LED flash. There’s a selfie button at the middle side of the phone, which is strategically placed for selfies. You can use a shutter button for the camera app. However, when you use this shutter button, it’ll automatically start a timer before taking a photo.

 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Since the smartphone packs a dual-LED flash, the images are very bright even at low-light conditions. However, I noticed that some images are very bright at some conditions. The front camera’s LED flash is just right when doing selfies. Overall, the camera of the Cherry Mobile Selfie is good and yes, I really liked it.

 

 

Verdict 

Cherry Mobile Selfie is one decent smartphone from Cherry Mobile. The phone got a decent battery life, great performance, and an awesome front and rear camera but some people might not like the feminine design and the thick bezel. But overall, the Cherry Mobile is a pretty great phone for PHP9,999.

Source: Samsung Galaxy S6 comes with a wireless charger

Samsung has been teasing their next flagship smartphone for the past few weeks. It is expected that the flagship smartphone would sport a different and a metal body just like the A series and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. But recently, I got an info from a reliable source that the Samsung Galaxy S6 will come with a wireless charger and according to another source, Samsung Galaxy S6 will also have an amazing low-light capabilities.

 

Samsung Galaxy S6 is expected to be a big jump from the Samsung Galaxy S5 since the sales of the smartphone is lower than expected. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is also expected to be announce at the same event and it will sport a curved display on both sides.

 

But of course, there might be changes and some of the things that I’ve mentioned earlier might not be in the Samsung Galaxy S6. The next flagship smartphone of Samsung is expected to be announce on March 1. I can’t wait for the next galaxy
