MOGA Mobile Gaming System Review

Posted on October 18, 2012 by Louie Tran Posted in Daily News, Gadgets, Reviews 2 Comments

As the smartphone market continues to grow exponentially by the minute, gamers are leaving their PSP/PSVITAs and 3DSs at home. Games on iPhones and Android devices have become widely popular and have received a huge amount of support from game developers such as Sega, EA, etc. and now we are starting to see a trend of accessory manufactures moving into the smart phone gaming business as well.

No matter how cool it can be to play your favorite RPG, First Person Shooter, or classic arcade game on your smartphone, the experience nowhere near matches the gamepad on your console, or even your PSP. There have been a few solutions out there such as the iCade, Nyko’s PlayPad controllers or even something as ridiculous as putting rubber thumb pads on the screen but the gaming experience isn’t the same.

Apple iPhone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3

Posted on October 12, 2012 by Louie Tran Posted in Daily News, Gadgets, Reviews 4 Comments

The iPhone 5’s build quality is not too different from that of its predecessor, the iPhone 4S, aside from being thinner, lighter and longer. it still sports a beautiful design solid design, as it is made of aluminum with a gorgeous glass screen.

Quite a handful of people might not like the “cheap, plastic feel” of the Galaxy S III but it is actually made of premium materials — a very thin but sturdy polycarbonate. As a result, the body is much more flexible than the iPhone 5. Also, the S III uses very solid Gorilla Glass 2 for its screen.

Geek Life – July 23rd to July 31st

Posted on August 8, 2012 by Louie Tran Posted in Daily News, Food, Geek Life, Photography 1 Comment

I am such a geek, reading nothing but tech magazines at Barnes and Nobles!

I know I’m a bit late on my Geek Life postings as I have been busy with work and been out and about almost every single day. Even on weekends there’s always something to do especially in the city of Pasadena. Went to a wedding, then to the 626 Night Market, and then caught a show at the Pasadena Ice House featuring Jen Kober from Curb Your Enthusiasm all in one day! I hardly have any time for anime, games, and gadgets anymore!

Geek Life – The Geek in July 1st to July 14th

Celebrating July 4th in -4F Weather in Los Angeles! I guess the heat caused Yahoo’s computers to freak out

Quite a few highlights in the first few weeks of July starting from Independence Day, Anime Expo, and the release of the Samsung Galaxy S3 on the American LTE networks. Of course there were other things happening in between as well such as work, food, and life in general! I was also testing the HTC One X and the Samsung Galaxy S3 to compare how it stands up to the best phone of 2011. So far I have been embracing Android’s Ice Cream Sandwich while waiting on Apple’s next generation iPhone. So far there hasn’t been anything that impressive of iOS6 and I am more excited about Android’s JellyBean. Continue reading→

HTC One X vs Samsung Galaxy S3 vs IPhone 4S Comparison

Posted on July 7, 2012 by Louie Tran Posted in Daily News, Gadgets, Reviews 3 Comments

I’ve been testing both the HTC One X and the Samsung Galaxy S3 and have been comparing both along with the iPhone 4S. iPhone is still better in quality and variety of apps and is a much better email device than any Android phone for Microsoft Exchange which I depend heavily on for work. Gmail of course works best on the Android but I’m fine with getting my Gmail using the iPhone’s Mail app. Also, since I’m a Mac user (also have the iPad and a MacBook Air 2012), iPhone integrates nicely with the whole eco-system with iMessage, Photo Stream, and iCloud. I did however find excellent alternatives to these services for Android such as Drop Box for Photo Syncing which is much better than Photo Stream because I can access the data without having to have any software installed to access my data by using any web browser. And also Air Droid which allows me to send text messages, access photos and contacts from my phone with any web browser.

The HTC One X has a better screen than iPhone 4S and Samsung S3. Build quality on the One X is superior to the Galaxy and is at the level of the iPhone 4S. The Galaxy S3 feels like a cheap plastic phone. Unfortunately the HTC One X doesn’t have an MicroSD card slot for memory expandability and the camera produces mediocre photos.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 however wins in having the best camera of the three and having that MicroSD slot comes in really handy. Although the screen quality isn’t as great as the iPhone’s and the HTC One X, it’s not as bad as I or any other reviewer makes it sound, AMOLED displays can still hang with the big boys.
