LG Optimus F6

The Good



This phone is fast, insanely fast. This speed is provided by a dual-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon processor, which is well above the industry standard. The F6 also has a full gigabyte of RAM to further enable that speed. It also sports a large screen, but doesn't have the resolution other phones of this class. It has an amazing usage time of 19 and a half hours, but when on standby that battery life is less than industry standard. The F6 also has a microSD slot that is able to hold up to 32 GB on top of it's 4 GB built-in memory.


The Decision




This phone is a decent one, but definitely not the best out there. It is a little over priced ($290 on it's own) for what's all in the package, but is only $50 with most 2-year agreements. So for the contract price, try it out and you will probably love the phone, but not the battery. If you need a longer battery life, just come into FixAllCell and we'll fix that for you right away!

The Samsung Galaxy S5 Already?

The Rundown



Samsung has leaked out that they might rush their creation of the Samsung Galaxy S5 because of less than expected Galaxy S4 sales. This isn't really a surprise because the high-end phone market has been slowing down overall. Even though the Galaxy S4 sold over 20 million units, the phone giant says that was significantly below their mark. Due to this, the new Galaxy S5 might be announced formally in January 2014.


Upcoming Features




The facts above aren't certain and final, but can be in the next couple of months. The few details that are available to the public are almost too good to believe anyways. Samsung is talking about incorporating an overpowered 64-bit octa-core processor! That's at least four times more powerful than the average computer used in offices and homes across the world. If that's not enough, there's a rumor of a 16 megapixel camera and a metal chassis for this monstrosity.




We don't know and can't confirm these rumors true, but if they are this will definitely be the best phone in the market without a doubt. If you have any questions or repairs on your current phone that need to be done, come to us at FixAllCell!

LG G2 review

An amazing phone




The basic gist about this phone is that it is utterly amazing! Coming in with a full 1080x1920 resolution screen, which is 1080p HD. It doesn't stop there either, because it has a quad-core processor with each core processing at 2.2 GHz. With that processing power, it can connect to an HDTV and output 1080p without any issues. That feature comes if you have the microUSB connector that converts it to HDMI. The storage on this phone is unbeatable because it has 32 GB built-in the phone. The camera on the back can also take pictures up to 13 megapixels! Without a doubt this phone is for anyone with a load of cash.



The bad and the ugly





Alas, therein are the issues. The phone costs around $750. Then to add to the shock, there is no SD card slot. There are only two issues we've found and we have more to tell if you stop by FixAllCell for all of your cell phone needs. We can answer any question that you have about cell phone technologies and the best upcoming features in the industry.

Smart phones for Earthquake Tracking?

Scientists have always been way behind the earthquakes when it comes to tracking them, and sometime way off. But a new idea has sprung up that is definitely worth some thought and some serious credit. The Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America have been trying to find a way to track earthquakes in real-time for decades, but the idea just recently hit them to us something that is in most people's pockets already. That's right, smart phones! The piece that actually tells whether the phone is on a side or upright is the only piece really needed. That one piece is called the accelerometer, and it is sensitive enough to detect earthquakes of magnitude five or higher.


Then the issue comes up of whether or not people would allow the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America access to their devices. Would you allow these scientists access to your smart phone for a good cause, or is it going a little too far? We'd love to hear your feedback and hear whether or not you support this endeavor from the scientific community. So if you want to find out more about what smart phones can do, come see us in-store or call us!

Cortana for you Windows Phone?

So Microsoft is going super-geek apparently. For all their previous Windows Phones they haven't had anything like iPhone's Siri or Google's Now service. Lookout though! They have a woman from one of the best selling game series ever created. If you guessed Cortana from Halo, you got it right! It is a step ahead of their competition as well, in the sense that Cortana will learn and adapt with what you usually search for and 'hopefully' provide results closer to what you want! Technology keeps advancing, and we at FixAllCell believe it is cell phones that are leading the need for more.
Just imagine if this is really the case! Then Microsoft would have a mass of people flooding to them from the Android and iPhone groups. If they can get the way Cortana adapts correctly that is. We say this because Cortana could be sending information to the Bing servers about your search habits and yet again, we have another example of our privacy invaded and given to the highest bidder.
Other than privacy being at stake here, we'd like to see your views on this. Is it another government conspiracy, or just a legitimate way to better assist people. If you want to test out the other virtual assistants, stop by our store and we'll let you have a test run of Siri and Google Now.

Bending Phones?

Are you blown away by technology enough, because Samsung doesn't. Samsung is now done prototyping and is showing off a bendable phone. It doesn't stop there either, because the first phone their giving this privilege to might be the Samsung Galaxy Note 3! Now here's the sad part of that unveiling. Samsung has yet to announce when it will be sold commercially.

When we read that this was even a possibility, we had to put our eyeballs back in their sockets.Then we saw that the release was to be announced, and we tried thinking why Samsung would unveil something as amazing as this. It doesn't make sense and we need some feedback on this, so please post your thoughts in the comment section below and let's have a debate! It's an incredible piece of technology and needs to be everywhere so that Samsung actually makes this a reality for the average person. 

Then again if the screens bends, won't it bend away from your finger? Could this be why there's issues with releasing it quite yet?If you have more questions or want to see the video, click here. If you want to see Samsung's other great products, visit our store!

Moto X Troubles

There's definite issues with the newest addition to the Motorola family if they want the Moto X to compete with the other latest phones on the market. The biggest one being that the camera's quality is more hit and miss than a steady good or bad. One picture could be spot on and beautiful, and then the next is absolute garbage compared to the phone's competition. Another fallback of this phone is the fact that the Android version of this is 4.2.2. Yes it's Jelly Bean, but it won't be featuring Android KitKat 4.4 or the latest update to Jelly Bean. The Jelly Bean 4.3 update has already been released and has been available for a while.While it is boasting a 1.7GHz dual-core processor, it falls behind its competition because only AT&T is going to be the initial carrier. The less spread you have means the worse the sales will be, even if you have the same speed as a low-end laptop. Motorola has made some improvements upon the Moto X since it was announced though. Software updates to the phone since it's announcement has entirely changed the camera's performance, according to Brian Klug. If you click on his name you can actually see the difference in the pictures before and after the updates.Just remember that if any questions or repairs are needed with the Moto X once it's released, just come to us!
