Top Smartphones for Gamers
Choosing your next smartphone usually ends up with you spending every waking moment checking reviews, dissecting the specs and features and then ultimately finding out what your family and friends love, or hate, about their device. However, if you distance yourself a bit and decide on your next phone purely on what you want to do the most, it can making things a bit clearer. Mobile gaming is an industry that is growing stronger each year with revenue just getting bigger and bigger every quarter. When you think about it, video games aren’t just for teenage boys anymore. The average gamer is 30 years old, and 45% of gamers are women—a far cry from the pubescent-boy stereotype the industry has traditionally been saddled with. So if you’re a fan of Candy Crush, Angry Birds or Minecraft then you’re driving this, but what smartphone is the best for playing those games on? That is the question.
Choose The Right Smartphone For You
Smartphones is the buzzword these days and with so many different models and features in the market today, it’s often puzzling which mobile phone is the right choice for you. Now although our wireless experts at Battery Boys here in Saskatoon can guide you in the right direction, the majority of people do their own smartphone research before ever reaching out to us. If you are in the minority and want our help right off the get-go, no problem. Battery Boys is a SaskTel Authorized Dealer and we can roll out the red carpet for you.
For those wanting to do their own homework, there is a lot to consider. There are so many options when choosing a mobile phone as there is literally something for everyone. The size and scope of each device varies and the big players in the market have taken things to a whole new level over the years. Samsung, Apple, Microsoft, LG, HTC, Motorola and Blackberry have put out a number of really cool devices and it’s somewhat clouded peoples judgement in terms of choosing the best phone for themselves.
We All Suck at Taking Care of our Smartphones
The staff at Battery Boys have a question for you. How many times have you had to replace your iPhone or Android device?
If you’re like a typical Canadian smartphone owner, the chances are you have had to fork over that early device upgrade fee or at last pay the deductible on our warranty at least twice. We don’t just make these numbers up – a national survey was conducted on this topic. Before going any further though and sharing those results, if you do want warranty on any device, come visit one of our 4 Battery Boys stores in Saskatoon and our wireless experts will make sure you’re protected.
According to the survey, nearly half of all Canadians have broken or lost their mobile phone. Not surprising though is it? We didn’t think so. What is a little surprising is that out of those people that have lost or broken their smartphone, almost 60% said they’ve done so multiple times. Everyone knows that person that notoriously just breaks or loses everything they have. It’s more common than you think.
20 Must Have Apps for your iPhone Home Screen
The other day I was visiting at my parents house and chilling on the couch watching TV. I felt a phone vibrate from the seat cushion beside me. I reached down and picked up what was my mothers iPhone. (She leaves her phone everywhere.) It was a text message from my sister. Without asking, I entered in her passcode as she has the same password for everything. I replied back to my sister for her as she was just looking for my moms famous banana bread recipe. Then I went to the home screen on her device. I was just about to lock it again and continue watching the hockey game when I glanced over her home screen. Then, I registered what I had just seen. The default app layout that all iPhones ship with. Ugh. She has had this phone for well over a year and she hasn’t changed anything on that home screen. Are you kidding me?
I do supposed it’s possible that she uses the apps like Health, Clock, Stocks and Wallet more than all of the third-party apps that I then swiped around to find…but I am betting that’s not the case at all. It also made me think about how often I seen people with home screens filled with all the default apps. You would be totally surprised at how common it actually is. I called my mom over and explained it to her and she said “I had no idea the apps could be rearranged. How do you do that?” Wow. I guess I just figured it was a no-brainer. Obviously not.
