Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in The Ryzen family of AMD's processors are here, and they're great so far. So I got my hands on one finally, so this is my Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in. First Glance This is great, AMD has finally phased out the FM2 and AMD3 sockets! It has been WAY overdue, and finally a new board and alignment has hit the market. What this means is, there can be more transistors, and components put onto the chip, which means in return, better performance. It looks beautiful, in terms of it being just a component for a computer, which is just basically a cluster of a lot of components together, as one big machine!  Specs The Ryzen 7 1800X comes stock with the core clock at 3.7GHz with 8 Cores, and 16 Threads. Also including 16MB of L3 Smart Cache. The core clock can also be turbo up to 4.0GHz with an unlocked motherboard. So far so good.  Stock Performance With Cinebench R15 I got a nice scor...

Moto Z Has Been Reviewed   Finally, I have managed to get my hands on the Moto Z.. So, without further fluff, The Moto Z Has Been Reviewed. The Moto Z, I expected it from first glance to be somewhat like the Turbo 2, but not at all. I was completely wrong. This thing feels like a Galaxy S6/S7, and I thought they would keep the Turbo 2 plastic screen, NOPE! Not at all, they decided with this device to take it completely back to glass. Corning Gorilla Glass 3, mind you Gorrila Glass 3 has been protecting smartphones sense the Galaxy S3, so you'd think there would be a new Gorilla glass out now. The phone feels sturdy, and has a nice finish on the backing, even with the dock connection. The camera is a little awkward but I love it. This phone has a 5.5 4K AMOLED LCD, 4GB LPDDR4 RAM, Snapdragon 820 clocked in at 1.8GHz, Is stock with Marshmallow but I'm sure there's an update around the corner for Android Nougat. This device has a 13MP Rear shooter, with 1.8 ...

HTC 10 IS A VERY SERIOUS DEVICE HTC 10 IS A VERY SERIOUS DEVICE So I have been recently checking out the Newborn HTC Baby, the HTC 10. It looks a lot like the A9 in the front, but a M9 in the back, sort of? The HTC 10 is a very serious device.. I really like this device to start off, especially how HTC brought back the stealth black color option, that really makes my day, because with my M8 I had to replace the metal housing with a stealth black 3rd party part, because the Gunmetal Grey wasn't enough for me.. However that is definitely not the case here. LET'S get into the specifications here! Yeah the hardware! This baby rocks a quad core (2 Dual core processors) Dual-core 2.15 GHz Kryo & dual-core 1.6 GHz Kryo This is on the Snapdragon 820 Chipset, and to help it along has 4GB of RAM, or Memory. This is a 5.2" Screen, using a newer technology the Super LCD5 under a coating of Gorilla Glass 4. The OS We're running here is Android 6.0.1 Marsh...

Galaxy S3, 3 Years Later. Is it still worth it? The Galaxy S3, 3 Years Later, Is it still worth it? That is the question here in September of 2015, and the answer is quite simple... Yes! Of course it still worth it, Not just saying this out of the love I have for the device, I'm saying this because it's still better than getting a pay as you go type phone, with lower specs! This phone has been to heck and back with me, and many of you know how much I appreciate this device, and how long I tried to prolong the life on it. Here, I have the i747 model for AT&T, and it is running CM12.1 currently, with that being said I used this device all last week, and still today. It still does what I need it to do, with taking amazing photos, unlike the quality you get from Go-Phones. There are definitely Go-Phones that are worth it, but in my opinion, not over the Galaxy S3. This model runs 2GB of RAM, has a dual core 1700Mhz processor, and is still beast. The inter...

LG G Flex 2 Review I've had a chance in the past to play with the LG G Flex, and now I'm reviewing the successor, the LG G Flex 2. This phone caught my eye, just as the first one did. I like the curve in this one a little better though. The feel of this phone is almost real time, or quantum. The screen is so vibrant and smooth, almost can't see any pixels at all. I've yet to find any custom ROMS for this phone yet, but I'm sure it'll get love sometime soon. The clarity on the camera is almost perfect, and gesture shot is just another "Selfie" mode cover, but it still cool. The battery does charge pretty quickly, and does in fact last a whole work day for me, but that varies with how much you text, listen to music, surf the web, or watch videos. The back buttons as always are very easy to access, still love the idea. I've been on this train since the LG G2, and I really do like the placement, as many other people complain. I'm just d...

Commodore Pet Android Smartphone   A new Android smartphone emerges, but this one takes us by surprise. Commodore is now making smartphones? For those of you who don't know, this was a commodore 64: This beast had 64K of RAM and was the gaming machine of the time, and also the tunneling, and word processing machine. (Tunneling as in Internet..) So.. does this phone have 64K of RAM? No, this phone has 3GB of RAM! The only place the number 64 takes place on this system is the 64bit octacore processor clocked at 1.7Ghz This phone also has a 5.5" IPS display, with full HD, and runs Android 5.0 Lollipop as of now, also it does run on 4G, LTE, and WCDMA networks. 13 Megapixels on the rear camera, and 8 Megapixels on the front facing.

Moto X (2014) AKA Your "Buddy" Motorola always seems to put out great devices, they are speedy, the screens look beautiful, and everything about the device is just overall sleek, and feels nice in the hand. This time, its the Moto X2, or Moto X 2nd gen, or Moto X+1.. whatever you call it, I call it "Buddy" referring to the commercial. The Moto X is very responsive, Let's look at the specifications, This phone sports a 13MP Back camera, and 2MP Front. Thats very nice! Seeing as the human eye only sees at 5, but it does add lots of clarity. 2.5Ghz Quad Core Processor, could this be a little better than whats in your laptop? That's a whopper of a processor for a phone. 2GB  of RAM on top of that, this phone is not going to be aging for a long time! You still get the very nice Twist your wrist camera! or I mean Quick Cam. This device is very vibrant, and the screen is insanely crystal clear! They are also bringing back the Moto X Designer palette,...

iPhone 6, The Pro's, Con's, Do's and Don'ts. A couple of weeks ago, the iPhone 6 hit stores across america, then left the stores in the hands of their owners very swiftly. Here's a few mile markers about the newest addition to the iPhone family. - Sleek Design I personally like the body style of the iPhone 5S better than the 6 and 6 plus, but it has been revamped for sure, but it looks more like what we Android users call "Phablets" like the Samsung Galaxy Note series. - iOS 8 iOS 8 was said to bring Android users away from the beehive, to the iPhone 6. Its best to catch more bee's with honey! They added many features that Android has already had for a while. - Apple Touch ID Of course this is something we should expect in every new iPhone device, from the iPhone 5S on. - Swype To Text Keyboard This is a nice addition for any one handed users, though it doesn't make sense, because the iPhone 6 literally is bigger, and I'd be af...
