Men Gadgets: Latest Mobile Phones Review

Do you know anyone in your circle of friends who does not yet own a cell phone? Probably not, as all and sundry have already picked up a handset regardless of age and economic background. After all, cell phone manufacturers have long catered their handsets to people from all walks of life, ranging from super cheap phones to high ends ones that seem to be able to do everything.

The keyword for the latter group is ’seem’, as Real Networks CEO Rob Glaser thinks otherwise. The man says that everyone will eventually carry at least a couple of cell phones since there is no perfect handset that is capable of doing everything you want and provide everything you need.
Having said that, mobile giants have released their latest mobile phone models which have encompassed almost if not all of the features and capabilities in the recent GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain
