The Rise And Rise Of Whatsapp

Hey friends,

Its no longer news that social media platform 'BBM' is beginning to witness a sharp decline when it comes to usage.



When this messaging app showed up in the first place, nobody could do without it. Having a blackberry (BB) pin was efficient and sufficient.
I recall when the notification tone for BBM would make everyone wanna steal your Blackberry. Lol.

Everyone would just stare at you like....




Not just the tone alone, nope. Have you forgotten about the crescent? Oh yes, that's what its called.



That red star sign that stays at the corner of your messaging app to know that you have a new message.

There's always that nostalgic feeling when you tend to do a flashback about blackberries.

I feel personally, that the very moment BBM decided to branch out was the very they decided to shoot their selves in the foot. No offence but how could one make available to all the one thing that makes it unique?

Its just crazy. Anyway, now we all see the results. The users of blackberry are reducing every time.

My personal distaste about the app is, its become slow and there are ads here and there. I mean, making your selling point public is not just enough? But making ads present there too? Haba!




Now back to the topic.

Whatsapp has been flourishing over time this was a messaging app, 'once upon a time' nobody wanted to use. The story has now changed. Everybody, and i mean everybody is on whatsapp. BBM comes in as an alternative.

Whatsapp messaging platform has never offered any form of ads since the day i have known it.

Also, the app tends to become useful every time. They was no option to send files like pdf and ms word docs but now it has.

What i am trying to say in essence is that, whatsapp has always been out their every since it has been known and for many reason, i don't think any other app can take over it.

Some apps like Telegram will fade away as soon as whatsapp comes in with more features.

5 Top Devices That Could Survive The Liquid Tests

Hey yall,

Today we are gonna be talking about devices that actually do the extreme! Yes.

I mean going the whole nine yards when submerged in liquid. What type of liquid, is what we are gonna be talking about in this post today. Also, we are gonna be looking at the kind of devices we never knew that could withstand such hardship or can i say, wet environment.

I must warn that these tests where conducted by professionals and PrimusTech will not be held responsible for whatever damage that comes to your device.

Alright, having said all that, lets begin.

1. Infinix Note 2:

This is just my darling when it comes to smart phones. I mean, it has really served my every need and quenched my burning desire. Big screen and big battery isn't what this device only brags about but sleeping in 'Red Bull' is actually insane. Yes, you heard me right, the following test actually proves that the Infinix Note 2 or Note 2 LTE can survive after been immersed in Red Bull premium beer for at most twenty minutes.

After watching the below video, i was indeed in shock that i was in possession of a mean machine that's ready to put up a fight even in the sea.. lol...

The below video proves that the Infinix Note 2 can survive some minutes inside a bowl of premium 'Red Bull' Beer.

2. Samsung S7 And Iphone 6 Plus: 

Now these two titans are no strangers when it comes to smart phones. One will always claim to be the elder brother but at the end of the day, they just have to settle their scores.

In this video i found, it didn't shock me at first and then it really shook me because i wondered how on earth devices could go through such extreme measures. Imagine submerging these two jaganaults in soft drink, Coca cola for..................

wait for it......

9hours...OMG!!!

The Infinix Note 2 has nothing on you guys...heheh,, i must confess.

The devices where put in coke soft drink and worst of it all, put into the freezer.

i would say that is rather harsh. some of you might recall that the S7 is water proof but what about the Iphone 6 Plus?

3. Sony Xperia X:

This one is on a low key but has very mean attributes. Although Sony has been quite popular ever since they still were named Sony Ericsson, they never fail to pack a punch. Any way, no time for flash backs as we are here to see this baby get submerged in liquid and swim.. lol.

So lets get to it.

After watching the Infinix, Samung and Iphone all get wet, i decided to do a little digging about other bad boys. So i found the Sony. hehe..They just poured water on this baby and....

It was just there..The only thing that happened to it was that, the drawer only slid down on its own and that was it.

The Sony survived the whole time it was under water.

amazing huh?

4. HTC One M8:

This is another expensive phone that can be found in most stores here in Nigeria. Although some of us, as expected, will only go for what we can afford but that's not why we are here. We are here to see this device take a dive and hopefully, she wont drown.

After much scavenging online, i stumbled upon this video of a helpless HTC One M8 about to be tested for water resistance. I nearly cried seeing that fresh device going to suffocate just for the sake of testing. CHAI....There is God ooo..

Anyway, the person who did the test wouldn't give me a listening ear even if i pleaded. So, i just go ahead and watch the horror movie in HD...with my popcorn.

And the device was dropped into a bowl of water and amazingly, she didn't bat an eye lid for over an hour. Some times i wonder if the phone manufacturers know what they produce.

5. Gionee S 5.1:

I laugh because OP no get mind. lol.

Everybody was bathing in all sorts of liquid and then my friend, Gionee decided to join the party. lol.

Taking a look at the Gionee S 5.1, its a slim device that has pretty straight points here and there but that shouldn't fool you as this device too can stand the test of waters.

As shown below, the tester placed the device under running water and operated it at the same but the device didn't disappoint. It opened the menu it self and that was it.

The device was removed from the rush of life and cleaned up, then it was back to functionality.

5 Reasons Why People Don't Buy Top Tier Device, Iphone

Hey my people..

How was work today? I was checking all the features on my Infinix Note 2 LTE and just wondered, why wouldn't i just buy an Iphone and flex among the sharpest dudes?

For about a moment, i had nothing..then it hit me, real hard. Not everyone could actually afford to be in the same lane as those with the tier one devices.

Here, i would be giving reasons why individuals, prefer not to buy these top tech devices.

1. Very Expensive:



The Iphone is a very regular culprit for this.

Right from the first generation smart phones down to the Iphone 6, 6 plus and 6S, they have been outright expensive. Imagine the Iphone 6 costing a whooping 160,000 Naira or more.

I mean, common, that's school fees for a masters programme right there. Anyway, we all can decide what we wanna use our money for but as for me, too expensive.

2. Costly To Repair:



I cant help but laugh really hard at some guys/ladies who cant even afford to repair their phones. E.g. The Iphone. This same culprit bah?

You don gerrit...hehe..

I know of someone who has his iphone screen shattered completely but this person in question is reluctant about going to see a qualified technician about it. Guess how much to repair the screen lasan (alone)?

An amazing 25K or more!



So, i sit back to reminisce like..



But who really knows why you got the Iphone.

My own advise would be, sell the device at ofcourse you know where.

And life continues, lol.

3. Data Consumption:



Some will argue till the finish that Iphones doesn't consume data like the android.

I know that android most apps on android demand the use of data but check out the Iphone, even songs need data to play! Haba!

So i actually have to turn on my data to play a song.. Very interesting..
The reverse is the case for android tho.


4. Cant Download Music:



So, my twin has an iphone 6 and the sound quality is awesome. Hearing every word the artist says along side the beat is something one would appreciate.

The music isn't the issue here but how to get it. I don't promote illegal download but hey, its what we've found ourselves in. How can a 'device' force me to pay for stuff i wanna listen to even if its wack??

So, this is my bottleneck. If i wanna support an artist, i shouldn't be forced.


5. Cant Share Files:



Don't get it twisted, the Iphone has the bluetooth technology for transfers but sending to other devices is an herculean task.

All thanks to apps like Xender and Flash share that has made file transfer faster on devices like the iphones to androids.

Hope y'all enjoyed the post.

Check Out The Innjoo Max 3 And Max 3 LTE Specifications

Many rumors have come and gone but here we are today with Innjoo Max 3 and Innjoo Max LTE which launched a few days ago.

For some reasons, i expected this device to be like the Infinix Note2 / Infinix Note 2 LTE in screen size. I guess, was right after all. This device has a 6-inch screen.

I introduce to you, the Innjoo Max 3. This device comes in two variants which is the 3G and 4G Lte just like the Infinix Note 2.

Check out the specs below:

1. Network:

This device has a GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900, 3G HSDPA 900 /1900/ 2100.
It is also has 4GLTE (LTE version)
The phablet has dual sim slots which are on stand by mode(Micro SIM, Nano-SIM)

The Innjoo Max 3 Android 5.1 Lollipop OS with the Inn UI.

2. Structure:

The device simply has dimension of 8.6 mm thick. It has a display of 6.0-inch, 720 x 1280 pixels (244 PPI) and its also an IPS LCD Capacitive touch screen.

The sensors are not left out on this one. It has present the accelerometer, Proximity, compass and the finger print.

The finger isn't like the iphone or the samsung that comes below the screen. Its located behind the phone, inches below the rear camera.


3. Hardware:

Testing this device is what i really wanna do but first, lets have a peek at what the processors have in stock. 
It has a Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 /  Quad-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A53. You can also call it the MediaTek MT6580 / MediaTek MT6735P.


Now, the name of the processors: Mali-T720MP2(3G) / Mali 400-MP2 (LTE version). For the RAM: 1 GB(3G) / 2 GB (LTE version). 
The Internal Storage hasn't really changed much as its the same 16 GB but if you decide to go the extra mile, the external sd slot allows a storage space up to 128 GB.

4. Camera:

I guess most devices are pretty much stuck on the 13MP camera. Anyway, this isn't different. The Max 3 has a 13Mp rear coupled autofocus plus LED flash. 
The video recording output will surely be good. Not forgetting the front cam which has an 8MP capacity. Very good for selfies.. Hehe


5. Audio Output:

Music Support: AAC, MP2, MP3, M4A, MKA,Loudspeaker: Yes
Video Support: MP4/MPEG4/H.263/H.264 playerFM Radio: Yes

6. Connectivity:

Bluetooth: v4.0WiFi: Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, hotspotGPS: Yes
USB: microUSB v2.0

7. Battery:

4000 mAh.

Now is the phone worth the hype?



Considering the fact, that it has just a finger print added and a 6.0 inch screen doesn't mean a lot of people will jump on it. Some will but i fear there might be regrets.

Is the device worth the buy?



Well, yes you can. Its some different from innjoo nonetheless. I really hope there would accessories for this baby.

How To Sell Your Android Device Quick On Olx

Its only logical that you develop love for the new devices been rolled out by different android manufacturers.

All of a sudden your device becomes a thing to remove...

If you you wanna ditch your device for something new, i advise you sell it on OLX platform.

You asking how?

I will show you how in this post. You see, it's not just about posting a device for sale and expecting trillions of buyers to throw their selves silly at you.

There are ways to it.


1. Make Sure Your Device Is Clean:



Who doesn't like something that's clean? Selling a device takes a lot of guts i must confess but the first thing you should do is, make sure the device is clean.

This even boils down to how you used the device before thinking of selling it. It has to be clean for you to even attract buyers.


2. Be Patient When Buyers Come:

Try to be more like the patient dog who always eats the fattest bone. Ermmm, in naija slang, the patient dog - hunger kill am throwey.. Lol..



Just kidding.

You have to be patient as a lot of buyers will come after seeing your clean device. Be very wary of how you interact with the buyers. Some will offer you a price that's only that suits their pockets.

Try to hand pick out the serious ones, interview them a bit and you might just have a potential buyer right there.

3. Be Quick To Respond To Buyers:



I expect that when trying to buy an android device from OLX, the person selling must always be online to respond to my every enquiry about the device.

When a message is sent once, twice and there's no response, I'm simply of the belief that the seller isn't ready to deal.

4. Be sincere:



It really pays to be sincere when you wanna ditch or sell a device on OLX. Never use fake images and never write what the device doesn't have.

If your device has a defect, say so. You can never tell who wants to buy the device from you. It just might be someone who values the device as a whole rather than a small defect that it has.

5. Use The 'Sell It For Me Option' :



And at the end of all what i have listed, many us still don't have what it takes to sell a device in good time.

The OLX team have made that simple. Simply make use of the sell it option you see in pix below.



Hope y'all had a great day...

5 Pop Up Ads That Cannot Be Missed When Playing An Online Games

Good afternoon all, there a lot of online games installed on our devices which allow pop up ads to appear periodically or most times.

This comes as a result of strong internet services like the H+ and 4G. Now, don't get me wrong because there is nothing wrong with you having strong network.

Its just that you application you have installed has a gate way for for interaction with other online apps which you may or may not be interested in.

There by, it comes in like pop up ads that run for a period of about 10seconds or 15 seconds.

I have personally experienced apps/games like: Real Racing 3, Photo grid and Psiphon.

I wouldn't say these pop up ads are redundant but this is just to bring to your notice of their existence.

Below is a list of pop up ads i have seen.

1. Clash of kings:



This is an interesting game indeed when it comes to building castles and empires. Its an adventure game which has intriguing parts and it has over a whooping 50million downloads. External downloads may be about 20million.

See pix below:







Click here to download

Jugding from the photos, its not really a bad pop up.

2. Clash of queens:



And here one for the ladies. The creators of this game had you in mind since 1200 BC..hehe..



This is more or less like battle of the sexes. Anyway, this female version of clash of kings involves raising young dragons and using them to fight armys.

Also, its all about ruling your kingdom since you are the queen.

See more pix below:





Click here to download

3. DU battery Saver:



Everyone is familiar with this app. It also pops up during game play especially on Real Racing 3. Well, i really don't like the app because i don't see what its saving. Period.





If you need the app, you can download it here

4. Jewel Mash:



Another pop up ad which might interest some individuals is the Jewel marsh app. Its kinda similar to candy crush but personally, i don't like it.



So if you have installed an online app which gives way for other apps to pop up as ads, you are most likely to see this.

Its got about 1million downloads on playstore too.



Click here to download


5. Fishdom:



This pop up ad/game has about 10Million downloads already. I wonder how this game is more interesting than Jewel mash.



Anyway, it has the looks of an 'under the sea' feel and its more like puzzle stuff.

Five Manufactures You Should Never Look Down On

There are times we get too used to seeing our favorite devices and we sometimes wonder if there could be other devices that could really give the 'Big guys' a run for their fans.

Well, look no further as i present you with a list of 5 manufacturers you shouldn't look down on for any reason whatsoever.

1. Cubot:



This device has a history as far back as 2013. At the period, nobody took them serious and unfortunately, they were almost kicked out of the android market and competition at large.

They never backed down and hence have come in stronger this year. I present to you the cubot series of smart phones. If you've had issues deciding on whether to buy an Infinix or Tecno device, am sure a cubot machine would make your day. Why not try their Cubot Dinosaur or the Cubot S600? These devices will not let you down as they pack most of the latest features an android phone should have.

See pix below also



Once you start rocking, let us know how it feels.


2.Oukitel:



Now, this one right here is worth the shot in all ramifications. I mean, i remember a friend (Paul), he got a an Oukitel K6000 and my was i marveled. A device that no one barely knew about that could take on some flagship devices hands down. Anyway, i leave you to find out other surprises Oukitel has.



Did i tell you my friend could sue me for using his name here? Hehe...Dont take me to court sir..lol.


3. Doogee:



This name is indeed a funny one as i couldn't help but call it 'doggy', lol..
Nonetheless, this manufacture is not just some other animal on rampage but its a beast once you decide on getting any of its prototypes. One of their flagships, the doogee F7 Pro kicks in with 4Gb whooping ram. Now, i can bet my palasa that 5HD games can run simultaneously on it. Why not click the link above to see what the F7 pro has in total.



Its gonna be cheap compared to other phones doing shakara sef..


4. Xiaomi:



This is a chinese device but who says the rest of the world cant get a feel?

With the help of a little button in the language setting, you have all the stuff in english language.

So what about a Xiaomi Redmi 3?



There will be other devices that would grace the stage of the world so just dont limit your search to the redmi 3. How bout the redmi4? *wink*


5. Ulefone:



Just when i thought i had seen it all, i stumble upon yet another master piece called the Ulefone.

Now, take the Ulefone Power as a case study. The device screams of too much power. Mesef hala say HABA!
6050Mah for this for all that?

This is a must have. I mean, who doesn't like the fact that one will hardly need to charge his/her phone after hours of usage?

Also, there might be possibilities that the device can reverse charge.



Anyway, its a phone to die for. Lol.. Not real death sha.
