  • LG Lucid 3: Affordable Droiding

    I recently changed smartphones after I had lost mine whilst after dropping it from my motorcycle, consulting it for directions when I was stopped.

    I had to quickly change phones last week, and I decided to get a Sony Xperia Z1, even though the Z2 would be released fairly quickly. Spending a week with a broken phone was slightly annoying, and I needed to change, so the Z1 was it. I managed to find one that wasn’t too expensive…

    iPhones can take plenty of abuse, but they get scratched up pretty quickly, which is one of the reasons why cases are necessary.
