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.

Hello there guys, first of all even though its late, I would like to greet you Happy New Year!!!! For today's entry, I'll be sharing with you my budget build which I built for myself to be used for editing and gaming purposes. Before we start, this build is only for the internal components, no other parts included since I used my own chassis. This build will only apply to those who already have some parts available that are ready to be used. But since I'm helping you build your own, I'm throwing in some parts that might help you to build your own.
