Game of Phones: If Mobile OS were Characters in Westeros!

Smartphone geek? Game of Thrones fan? Some of us from YugaTech seem to be both, and we connected the lines between the two. Say hello to Game of Phones: If Operating Systems were Characters in Westeros!

From the richest and the premium, the market-disrupting smartphones from North of the Wall to an army building up from Essos holding the powers of PureView and a few dragons – we have you covered. A lot of things won’t perfectly fit as you’d expect, and a lot of houses aren’t to be found here, but these are the best similarities you can find (Stannis vs Renly, Samsung vs HTC).

Feel free to add and speak out the similarities and the differences that you can find down in the comments section down below. Hodor? Hodor.
