You can pre-order the flagship killer #OnePlusOne today. by @jimboireland.#Tech

The OnePlus has been a rather intersting device which we have been using sometime now and i have to say its been one of the best android experiences to date and the device is solid and has a great feel to it,especially on the back where its rough but nice and also grippy.

My thoughts on the invite process and how the marketing was inivite system ran mubbled me to some extent but i bit the bullet and got one of these devices which i did not regret doing so in the long run,its been a painless experince using it and i would reccomend it to anyone on a budget,this is up there with the big guys make no mistake about it.

You can now pre -order the device from today and if you have some spare bucks sitting there go get it.

 

Next thing to do now is login and pre-order the device,you can use parcel motel to get the device shipped to Ireland as we did,this is the bes toption to get the device to you or if you have someone in the uk you can get it delivered to and they can forward it on.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 unboxing and walkaround by @jimboireland.#Note4 #Samsung

We have had all previous versions of samsungs phablet so why miss out on the latest offering from samsung,the galaxy note 4.

Today we will have a quick unboxing of the Galaxy S4 and walkaround,some main features on the Galaxy Note,the Note 4 comes packed with features and specs,typically a spec trip for some but the Note 4 has the touchwizz UI which is not for everyone.

Features on the Note 4 are as follows ,Fingerprint scanner with PayPal support,16MP OIS camera with 2160p video recording @ 30fps, 1080p @ 60fps, 720p @ 120fps,a front facing camera with 3.7MP,Quad-core 2.7GHz Krait 450 CPU, Adreno 420 GPU; Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chipset,3GB of RAM,Bluetooth 4.0 ,NFC ,IR blaster 3,220mAh battery 32GB on board storage expandble via SD card .

 

 

Our first impressions so far is quite good,its fast and responsive,we also tried the fast charging and dam its fast this is ideal if you are in need of power.Two drawbacks of the Note 4 is no wireless charging and where the speaker is mounted,given the back is so big they could have at least given dual speakers,depending on how the phone rests the sound can get muffled,as for the gap that folk keep talking about i dont see it to be as bad but however thi could be a problem down the road wuth dirt and dust building up so that is something to consider.
