Don't Buy a Samsung Smartphone until it's a flagship !

 By Vaibhav Jain on May 08, 2016       

Stop Buying Samsung Smartphones if you really care about software updates , security or development . 

Samsung is still expanding their Smartphone's series by releasing many smartphone's in a month . We even don't get to know when a New Samsung Smartphone get launched except a flagship !



Samsung literally don't care about their low , mid or even high end devices until its a flagship smartphone  ! If you are buying a new simple Samsung smartphone then forget about the software updates and any security patch or any development .

Though its not really Samsung's fault ! They launch too many smartphone in a month , that they even can't provide software updates to that much devices !

Samsung Smartphone's are good until you are buying a Samsung Galaxy "S" or "Note" series flagship smartphone ! 



If you are going to buy a new device ( Low or mid ranged ) , Buy a Motorola , Lenovo , Xiaomi or Asus Smartphone if you care about Software Updates and Security !

This Guy has one of the best Motorola Devices collection

 By Vaibhav Jain on May 05, 2016       

 

Some people collect few things and calls themselves a "FAN" and Some people go even beyond the word "FAN" and dedicate their whole life in collecting things .

Felipe Berhau is a huge Motorola fan, and has been ever since he was 11 year old . Unlike those of us who have given up Motorola and moved on to different Smartphone companies , 

Felipe still spends his free time getting information about Motorola and their Products . 

This Guy has more than 150+ Motorola devices which includes 100+ Motorola Phones and Smartphones . This is the biggest Motorola collection I have ever seen .

When I asked Felipe Berhau about his collection , He said -

It started when I was 11 (2006). I wanted to get the coolest phone at the time in Uruguay which was Motorola V360. After that I became obsessed with the beautiful designs and got Rokr E1, Razr V3, A1200 within the next year. But 2006/2007 was the time Motorola started falling in sales and their phones weren't loved anymore, so I thought: I have to stay with Motorola, I can't leave them now because there will be a time when Motorola is on top again.

After that I followed all the news, product releases, tried to buy all the new devices. I would get sad when they announced bad sales and revenues and I would celebrate when they had earnings. And through the last ten years I didn't leave them.

This Guy just proved the true terminology of word "FAN" and he has one of the best Collection of Motorola Devices in the World !

Here are some of the Images of his Collection -

We can't even count how many Motorola Devices he has ! #TrueMotorolaFan !
