Are you a Super User?

If you are an Android phone user, you probably know what this means. Super User is an application that comes into your android phones once you’re rooted. Now, it’s kind of scary when you think about your phone’s warranty but in all honestly it’s the best way to go for the many tweaks you can do!

Basically, once a phone is rooted it’s like that it is jailbroken – you can alter the theme even more, you can calibrate your battery and many more. So you see, it’s not really bad!

Cherry Mobile Titan

Cherry Mobile is a local mobile phone company in the Philippines that’s been quite known now because of the many Android  smartphone’s they’ve been releasing since last year. First there was Cherry Mobile Flare which was the beginning – it was very affordable for its price, 3,999 PHP that even up to now it’s mostly out of stock. Other than its price is its processor which is dual core, having 512 mb of ram.

After that, many other models were released. Even though they were “re-branded” it’s been a good way for them to get more customers indeed. I myself, got lured into buying Cherry Mobile Titan TV but due to the lack of time to go to a place that has it (everywhere I went to, it was out of stock!) I ended up Cherry Mobile Titan instead, its predecessor.

SPECS

  • Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich

  • Dual-sim / Dual Standby

  • 5.0-inch WVGA Capacitive Touchscreen, 480×800 pixel resolution

  • MediaTek MT6577 1GHz dual-core processor

  • 512MB RAM

  • 4GB internal storage (expandable up to 32GB via microSD)

  • 5-megapixel rear camera with flash

  • VGA front camera

  • 3G, HSPA+ 21Mbps

  • Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi hotspot

  • Bluetooth v2.1

  • microUSB v2.0

  • GPS, A-GPS

  • 2350mAh battery

The specs aren’t bad, especially for someone like me who comes from a single processor powered Android phone. However, Titan TV has more ram and Flare has a more speedy processor. What I do like the most is the battery (Titan TV has the almost same battery life as well, 2500 mAh). I love the design however! At first it would look big but it feels like having a Samsung Galaxy Note. It’s also good for gaming, given that it’s a phablet (phone and tablet).

Cons

Some of the cons for me would be the camera, it’s 5 MP however, I still find my Sony ST15i camera better (even if they have the same specs). Also, the front camera would have been better – but I guess they saved the best for Titan TV (it has 2 MP front camera). For the rest, I’m not really having any problem! Well, I still have more days to find out.

Tomorrow I’m planning to buy a new mini SD card to try the memory swap I’ve been reading. It needs a class 10 sd card and I hope I get a 32-16 gb sd card. Meanwhile, I’ll enjoy my new Titan while playing good music and with vox night train

Kingston HyperX Predator

Just recently, Kingston unveiled their newest unit of usb flashdrive called HyperX Predator. It is equipped with a massive storage capacity - 1 TB which is almost that of a portable hard drive. Amazing isn’t it? Looking back, storage gadgets used to be so big yet with so small memory but now it’s all the contrary.

It sounds neat doesn’t it? When you’re on the go, you can transfer big files anytime it’s pretty handy plus it gives you tons of space for back up. However, this maybe small but its price is big and costly in my opinion as it was told that their 512GB model retails for $1,750. Well I guess it’s because for now, they’re the only ones who have it.

HyperX Predator is said to offer transfer speeds of up to 240MB per second when reading data and up to 160MB per second with writing – it is also a USB 3.0 flash drive after all, to top with its unbeatable size of storage capacity.

Now wouldn’t it be even nice if they can also make a portable cabinet in the not so far future? I bet so, then some deals on storage cabinets would be great for the shoppers as well.

Starmobile Flirt

Starmobile’s Astra has gone a long way ever since it was released. With its specs, many were really in loved with it and thus Starmobile had to do something to impress all of us even more. So now, exactly on Valentine’s Day last February 14, 2012 they introduced Starmobile Flirt.

As you can see, it boasts quite some specs although there’s really not much different. The camera is the most exquisite as it is 12 Megapixel. It’s available in vibrant red and blue as well I believe. It also runs on Android OS Jelly bean. I wonder if they’re to release a quadcore phone as well as it is rumoured that cherry mobile is releasing theirs.

Sony SmartWatch

Nowadays, everything’s almost done easily with applications installed to our smartphones. Smartphones are also more affordable compared to before with good specs and competetive features. Yet while smartphones are very useful, it lacks one thing that I know some may hate – portability.

Smartphones of today tend to be large in size due to the trend it has started – the larger the screen, the better. Although others wish there was some way they could be created into something more easy to go around with.

Thus, Sony SmartWatch comes in. It’s not really new and there had already been generations of this device, but admit it or not it’s pretty handy.

With the Sony SmartWatch you can:

  • Read Messages, Tweets and Facebook messages on the go
  • Control Music on your phone faster
  • Have access to your emails faster as well and many more!

It works through utilizing your mobile phone’s bluetooth. It works with most smartphones as well which is neat, so having one is really great for someone who wants an easier way for accessing important messages without the need to flip your smartphone – less hassles! There are also many applications available for it so you’ll also have fun!

Now you no longer need to be disturbed while shopping online for de-sta-co clamps or anything else you’re pretty busy with because you’ve got something to let you do things quicker now!
