The Best Smartphones For Your Online Fun

Posted on by

Mobile phones are so much more than just communicative devices these days. With Wi-FI available everywhere from cafés to high streets, not to mention the rise of 4G internet, more than ever we’re using these little gadgets to get online.

 

If you’re a little behind on the times when it comes to picking a smartphone, we’ve done our homework on the best smartphones for whatever your needs, from social media to online shopping and gaming.

Social media

 

Shameless selfie addicts and status updaters can doubtless choose a better smartphone than the HTC One for all their social media needs. The phone boasts some funky features for those who like to snap at every opportunity, including a camera with its own name – ‘Zoe.’ Dubbed as ‘ultrapixel’ thanks to its low light pixel performance, it’s great for capturing those special moments. What’s more, its Android interface helps to aggregate all your social media and news feeds into one place, so you’ll always have a finger on the pulse.

 

Gaming

 

Today, more than ever, mobile gaming has increased in popularity thanks to more choice from sites like Uptown Aces. Improved graphics, faster loading times and better sound effects all make for some big demands on a smartphone, but luckily, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is equipped to deal with all of these. The powerful Snapdragon 800 chip has 3GB RAM, giving gamers the opportunity to multi-task, while its 32GB of storage is ample for storing your precious hours of game play.

 

Video streaming

 

With apps like Netflix giving us access to our favourite movies and TV shows 24/7, the last thing today’s smartphone users want is a phone which is badly optimised for video streaming. Thankfully, the T-Mobile G2X is perfect for streaming, thanks to its sharp display and accessibility. The phone features a 4-inch LCD display, guaranteeing a cleaner image with more vivid colours, while it also gives users the chance to play videos on their TV through an HDMI connection.

 

Online shopping

 

With online retail sky rocketing in recent years, it’s only natural that today’s smartphones should offer more secure operating systems in order to make sure users are shopping safely. Generally, the iOS system for iPhones is regarded as securer than the Android due to the latter’s open platform. Malware threats are considerably lower for Apple systems, so you may be advised to purchase the iPhone 5S if you want the latest model – or wait a few weeks and get your hands on the highly anticipated iPhone 6.

 

 

 

Back Nodger Review | Health

Posted on by

backnodgerreviewAfter an injury on a film set I am now unfortunately one of those people who are in possession of a bad back. The most annoying thing about it is the limitations it places on you. Pain isn’t fun so anything that helps your back is worth the money and the time.

So we agreed to review the Back Nodger. First thing first: the back nodger is easy to use. Using it is very satisfying. Like always having your partner on hand for a good massage. It really does work, easing tension, soothing muscles, helping aches and stiffness. We are very impressed and our backs are grateful.

We love the Back Nodger and can highly recommend it. I will certainly be using it on a regular basis.

The Back Nodger can be used to relax the knots and tension in all the places you can’t reach; tight shoulders, stiff neck and your aching back

Say Goodbye To Half-Hearted Massages……and Hello To Your New 24/7 Masseuse. Back Nodger goes deep, is on-hand whenever you need it and will never miss the spot (or get distracted).

Your essential piece of kit for hours at your desk, after the gym or just to de-stress at home with your feet up.

Designed With Top Physios to Be Simple and Effective

Clinical Physiotherapist Paula Coates recommends using Back Nodger every day: “We all clean our teeth twice a day to keep our mouths healthy, so why not nodge your knots to keep muscles relaxed, de-stressed, and able to keep up with your lifestyle.”

This video shows you how to use the Back Nodger.

STEP 1

2 hands on your Back Nodger
at all times!

The top hand is for control and the bottom hand is to apply pressure

STEP 2

Hook the Back Nodger over your shoulder.

Place the uniquely designed Nodge head onto a knot or an area of pain or tension

STEP 3
backnodgerstep3

Apply deep, precise pressure directly into that knot or area of tension.

Hold each Nodge for upto 10 seconds (or one breath) and then release the pressure.

STEP 4

Keep Nodging! Once you have Nodged one knot, move onto the another knot anywhere on your back.

 

The Back Nodger is available from Boots.com and eBay.

Atomic Floyd AirJax In Ear Acoustics Review

Posted on by

Atomic-Floyd-Airjax-reviewAirJax are made especially for iPhone, iPad and iPod. They can also be used on non-Apple products Skype and Blackberry. They offer amazing audio quality and style. Unbelievable style, they are the Naomi Campbell of in-ear acoustics. Just beautiful.

Just to up the style quote they come with a black leather case which is red suede inside and opens when you apply pressure. They are ‘hand-crafted in metal’, this metal includes acoustic steel, an ultra thin metal, titanium and 24k gold. They are high quality as you would expect, well made and just sigh-worthy.

They come with a microphone and have a button for answering calls. The earphones have removable metal hooks which turns them into fitness earphones, very handy and you do not even notice them as they are so comfortable. The earhooks also come with black sleeves, a flight adapter and mini jack.

Now to the audio: it is just perfect. Everything works in harmony and every genre of music sounds magnificent. The rich, creamy bass is first class. These gorgeous and pretty much perfect earphones, their only negative for some people is that they are not compatible on a PC or ordinary MP3 player, are a must if you have the extra cash for beautiful, high-quality earphones with impeccable sound. Amazing.

Atomic Floyd AirJax Stereo Headset with Remote can be bought here

Groovez BTHS800 Bluetooth headphones by STK Review

Our writer James loves these headphones. In fact he has barely taken them off since they arrived. He even makes phone calls through them as they have bluetooth. They are also the perfect way to ignore someone as they are noise cancelling. Not that this is a plus or anything….
