Whether you are a parent or not, it is a fact that the majority of kids today will have access to a smart mobile device at an early age. However, the questions on most parents’ minds are:

• How young is too young?
• Is my child ready for a smartphone or tablet?
• What are the safety precautions to keep in mind?

When Not to Buy a Smartphone for Your Child

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), you should not encourage media use for children under 2 years old. The brain develops better through unstructured playtime and human interaction and heavy media usage under 2 is a risk to language development of your child.

The Galaxy Note 5 design language is familiar as ever and it takes it from its Galaxy predecessors. It manages to be a bit larger than its replacement and much sleeker.

The S-pen has been updated to look much better. The back cover is no longer removable which means no addition of extra memory space. The glass design makes it very pleasing aesthetically and in handling.

However, above all, the Z1's most striking and outstanding feature is its professional DSLR-level camera which packs a whooping 20.7MP sensor. It's almost as if you were carrying a camera that also happens to make calls. Other outstanding hardware include its 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 chipset found on most high-end smartphones. It also packs a 2GB RAM space which enables it to perform pretty decently.

At first glance, you will notice the Z1 does not have any buttons. The back is so shiny you could almost mistake it for a display. The phone is so thin it feels like it might just slide out of your....... Read More
