In Laptops, Tablets by Ramon LopezJuly 30, 2017Leave a Comment

SAMSUNG is aiming to give Apple’s iPad Pro a serious run for its money; hence, the release of the new Samsung Galaxy Book in the Philippines. It is priced at P44,990 (around $890) locally, which isn’t cheap, but neither is the hardware it is going up against. The 10.5-inch iPad Pro with 64GB of storage, and sans the accessories, sells from P36,990 ($732) in authorized stores.

12 smartphones in PH with batteries bigger than 4,000mAh

In Phones by Alora Uy GuerreroJuly 23, 2017Leave a Comment

TODAY’s smartphones are monsters compared with what they were a few years ago. They take photos that can rival those shot with point-and-shoot cameras. Their screens are so sharp — maybe even sharper than that of your TV — thanks to the number of pixels crammed into them. Internal storage is huger than ever — the highest being 256GB, a capacity that is even bigger than many of today’s laptops’ memory. Processing power has gone through the roof. But battery life? That aspect hasn’t changed much, what a pity.
