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.

Snap, a Google Play client for BlackBerry 10

Daniel Morial Leave a comment

If we thought that BlackBerry OS 10 devices are doomed, this is probably the best news we’ve heard from their camp in a long while.


Presenting Snap, a Google Play client for BlackBerry 10 devices running the latest 10.2.1 update which just rolled out. From the UI stand point, it looks like the BlackBerry World but with Google Play apps. That means more apps and more fun for the good ol’ BlackBerry 10.

In order to use Snap, you must first sideload it to your BB10 device. If you haven’t tried sideloading apps into a BlackBerry before, here is a guided step by step procedure from CrackBerry.com

With the latest 2.0 version of Snap, you can download your previous purchases in Google Play to your BlackBerry 10 device. This is finally having Android apps without the need to sideload or convert them separately. If you have tried using this client, please share your comments and experience so far.

BlackBerry has been very silent lately, and they weren’t that aggressive in releasing new products. The BlackBerry Z30 now shatters that silence as it becomes the new flagship phone for the company, offering a 5-inch Super AMOLED display, a 1.7GHz CPU, and a very beefy 25-hour 2,880mAh battery.
