The Affordable Yet Powerful Android Phone!!!

Good day guys, for today's feature, I'm gonna be giving a short review about the THL W100. THL stands for Technology Happy Life, yes, that is the meaning or abbreviation of THL and why not! if you have Technology, you have a Happy Life!. Now, for the main part! I have bought the W100 last December in SM Southmall, the W100 is distributed here by NOVO7 and it was sold at P6,499.00. I was able to buy it at that price since it was on a promo or a Holiday promo deal. What caught my attention was the specs of the phone that is being sold at a very affordable price. If you guys are looking for a powerful phone yet you have a tight budget, then this phone is the one for you!

As of now, I'm not sure if the price of the phone is at its regular price of P7,000.00 or P7,500.00 but to think about its specs, it is very affordable. Enough with the long story, I'll be using some images from the web since every image of the phone is the same. I'll posting specs and the link to THL's main web and facebook page.

To start off, here are some images:

On the top of the phone, the on/off/lock button is located as well as the 3.5mm jack for your headphones. On the left, the volume is located. On the front, you can see the front 5mp camera, speaker, led indicator, proximity sensor, and the three soft-touch button i.e menu, home, and back or cancel. At the back, the 8mp camera, led flash, and the THL and its meaning.

Here are the specs of the phone:

So, there you have it guys, I recommend the phone to you all but, if you are used with a big storage function, no worries, when you plug-in an micro-SD card on it then set it to its primary storage, you'll have a lot of capacity to store some vids, images, games, and musics.

My Melee Weapon entry to Warframe

One Cool Wi-Fi Router!!!

Hey there Guys!!! It's been a while since I last posted a feature / review of a product. Last week, I recommended a Wi-Fi router to my friend and she bought one. When I saw her unboxed it, I was surprise and even wanted one for my own (the color and its lighting will complete a set-up). The router was color black and lighting or illumination lights are green (lime green that is!). The Wi-Fi router is the PROLiNK PRN3001. The said router has a function that rivals some of the known brands out there in the market. It packs a lot of features that would help you connect and stay connected to your network and provide strong signals even behind walls.

Most of the wireless routers out there have a single antenna that you'll only get from a entry-level w-router, the PRN3001 however has two antennas like I said, will give you strong a signal even from behind walls. The PRN3001 is easy to set-up and you can use it instantly. This w-router is now available in some pc-stores/shops here in the Philippines.
