TommyLog TECH – Difference Between the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 & Note 3 #VZWBuzz #AD

Hey kids it’s Tommy, and for today’s TommyLog TECH I want to talk to all of you Samsung Galaxy Note 3 owners out there. The Galaxy Note 3 came out about two years ago and for those of you who had a two-year contract, it’s time to upgrade. People come to me and said “Hey Tommy what’s the difference between the Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy Note 5?”

Well Samsung has made some huge leaps in technology over the last two years. Things like:

•    Battery
•    Fast charging
•    Wireless Charging
•    Build Quality
•    Finger Print Sensor
•    Stylus
•    Headphone Jack
•    Rear facing Camera 16 MP vs. 13 MP
•    Front facing camera 5 MP vs. 2.1 MP
•    Speed
•    Samsung Pay

As you can see, the Galaxy Note 5 is a huge upgrade from the Note 3. There are some sacrifices, but I think it’s all well worth it. The Galaxy Note 5 learned a lot from its older brother and has made some amazing improvements. The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Rocks!!

4 Questions with A Verizon Friend! #VZWBUZZ #AD

This long labor day weekend I had the pleasure of traveling to Phoenix to see family and spend some time with a few long lost Verizon influencers. I just had to meet Sara Hawkins and what fun would it be to do a TommyLog video with her. So I did.

I took some viewer emails and let Sara join in on the fun.

Here’s the questions:

1 – Top High School pro horror story?
2 – 3 tech items you can’t live without?
3 – How do you like your eggs cooked?
4- Home on the couch or night on the town?

What a TREAT it was to meet Sara and spend the morning with her in her hood. My life was blessed to meet her in person!

LG G4 First Impressions #vzwbuzz #AD

Hey kids, for today’s TommyLog Tech, I want to give you some initial impressions of my new LG G4 that my good friends at Verizon provided.. Huge thanks go out to them!

The first thing I love about this phone is the camera. The G4 has a 16MP rear facing camera as well as a 8MP front facing camera. The camera software even has a fully manual mode where you can set the white balance, exposure even ISO. People who like to dink with settings will love that.

Next thing that I noticed is the speed. Geekbench rates this Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 808 processor, 1.8GHz 64-bit Hexa-Core CPU as one of the fastest Android phones on the market with single-core score of 1142 and multi-core of 3545. Launching and moving from app to app feels almost seamless. The screen takes a lot of horsepower to move that many pixels so it better be fast.

Next topic that stands out is the sound and Holy Cow–  is the sound that comes out of this tiny handset just HUGE. I mean amazing. I have never heard sound like this come out of a smartphone like that. How LG manage to pack a Marshall Stack in a battery operated, pocket-sized handset like this I’ll never know!

Lastly there’s a feature called QRemote. The G4 has a built in IR blaster so I can control my TV, DVR as well as my Apple TV. The thing that caught my eye is when configuring the remote, the G4 got my TV and set top box on the first try. it literally took me seconds from launching the software to controlling my entire entertainment center with the G4. Love that!

The bonus thing that I couldn’t help but notice is the screen. WOW OH WOW– is this screen just drop dead gorgeous! Hello, 5.5 inches of AMOLED goodness! This 2560 x 1440 screen yields 538 PPI and the colors are bright and amazing.

So far the LG G4 is totally 100% Tommy Approved! Stay tuned for more videos as I dive even deeper into using this baby.

STAY TUNED for more G4 goodness– not only did they send me a handset to test and play with, they also gave me one to GIVE AWAY on my blog. HOW COOL IS THAT???!!

Stay tuned to my next TommyLog TECH as I set up and play with the LG G4 and we will see if it’s Tommy Approved!

LG G4 Unboxing and More! #vzwbuzz #AD

Hey kids, for today’s TommyLog Tech, I would like to introduce you to the new, awesome, yummy tech goodness that is the LG G4. My good friends at Verizon provided this smartphone. Big thanks go out to them!

This thing is just gorgeous. Unlike most other smartphones, there are no buttons on any of the sidewalls; the volume and power buttons are on the back. The screen looks huge compared to my iPhone 6. Not sure if you can tell by the lighting in the video, but the back is gently curved. Very slick.

What’s even more amazing is, not only did they send me a handset to test and play with, they also gave me one to GIVE-A-WAY on my blog. HOW COOL IS THAT???!!

Stay tuned to my next TommyLog TECH as I set up and play with the LG G4 and we will see if it’s Tommy Approved!
