Life: My Gadget Experience for the past One Year

It has been almost one year since I posted my last blog, which I wrote about my experience with combination of Galaxy Note 2, iPad Mini, and BlackBerry Bold 9700.

Since, I have completely retired my BlackBerry Bold 9700 with simple reason... the BBM for Android & iOS has been launched and I can use BBM in my Galaxy Note 2 and even in my iPad Mini as well, so there is no more reason to keep the BlackBerry handset. But then I added the cheap China non-branded smartphone, namely Android Note S7189 (Quad Core CPU, just SGD179 in price) which has dual SIM card feature for also a simple reason, to be used as my mobile broadband wifi hotspot when I was overseas. Since most of the prepaid SIM Card still using normal size, this China smartphone serve me right, no need to keep SIM Card converter.

After successfully 'fight' online purchase (for 5000 units which always sold out in less than 1 minute), just two days ago, I received Xiaomi RedMi Note, this is to replace the Android Note S7189. It has much better specs (Octa-core 1.66 GHz Cortex-A7, 2GB RAM, 8GB storage, 720 x 1280 pixels, 5.5" IPS LCD Capatitive) and support Dual SIM card as well. With just SGD199 price, it is surely a killer to other established branded smartphone. Now, I realized how much I overpaid for my Galaxy Note 2 for so many features that I very seldom, and even never, use. I haven't played around much with this new gadget so I can't write much about it. I will write about it separately after have more experience in using it.

So happy with the combination (Galaxy Note 2, iPad Mini, and Redmi Note) so far. So, what next? Maybe upgrade my iPad Mini... with bigger storage and the one has retina display since I edit my photo to be uploaded to Instagram using iPad Mini most of the time. Maybe, I will wait for iPad Mini 2 then... come on Apple, when??
