While it was a capable handset with a strong camera for the time, I didn’t like some it’s waterproofing compromises. Particularly the washed out screen with poor viewing angles was a deal-breaker for me, and my interest in Sony devices waned. Since that time we’ve already...[Read More]

Samsung Galaxy S5 – Review

The most recent feature being added to speakers is a water/splash proof coating. I s...[Read More]
