OnePlus One

There comes a time when Smartphones are one of those luxury devices that can be used for work, leisure or personal. Use the phones for Video editing, Gaming and Word documents. With a Phone with top of the range specifications, you have to pay up to 800 Dollars for the Samsung Galaxy S5 or for the HTC ONE M8. Up until a few days ago, we've got the Nexus 5 as the flagship for Google using completely native android at an affordable price, With a snapdragon 800 processor and a beautiful 1080p screens.
I'm super excited for this new smartphone, not only from the specifications but from the price too. At a price that you can't really beat for a top of the range phone. Snapdragon801 Processor, 3gigabytes of ram, 16gb of storage at £239 and if you want the 64gb model variant, it's an extra £30. With apple devices, an iPhone 5s with 16gb is roughly £600, 32gb is £700 and 64gb is £800. Those are just estimated prices from the long history of apple products.

The OnePlusOne. Is created by a company called OnePlus. 

Spotify Review

Spotify may have been out for quite a long time and you've probably heard of it already but just in case you haven't. Spotify is an Online Music streaming service where you can virtually get any song that you want and start streaming it virtually straight away.
The days of carrying round an iPod with Local storage is behind us, We've now moved forward of using Youtube and Spotify and other Music streaming services like pandora and Google All Music Access.

It's a fantastic service and it's only Ten Dollars/Pounds a month, which isn't too bad for getting the premium version. even if you don't want to shell out that amount of money a month, you can always get the ad supported version. But there's a few set backs, Firstly you can't just listen to whatever song you want, you type in the artist you want and then you can't click the individual track you want, you've got to do Shuffle play and then you have a limit of 5 skips in an hour. It's a pain but paying that amount of money a month is worth it.

The one thing that has been holding me back from getting spotify is that i prefer my music being on local storage, already there on my device so i don't need an internet connection in order to play the music i want. and the second reason is battery consumption. On my phone i've got a 3600mah battery and that's double the capacity of the stock battery. So battery life isn't an issue really but i prefer knowing that i can get through an entire day doing whatever i want on the device, playing games, streaming videos, it's fantastic. and it's a shame phone manfactures don't push forward with the technology of batteries. Once we solve the problems with batteries, then we can push forward in increasing CPU and Display tech. We've already got 2k displays in our phones found on the Oppo FIND7.

It seems that we've slowed down on CPU technology as well. We've not really pushed passed Quad-core. The snapdragon 801 Processor is way more battery effiecent than the 800. and the 800 has been out for at least a year.

Spotify is a great service and it doesn't drain on battery life as much as you'd think but it's a fantastic service and i'd get it if you constantly finding yourself listening to the same songs over and over again because that's what is on your ipod or phone.
