Let's jump off into a new topic for a few weeks. Here it is . . . Ready? . . . Wait for it . . .
CELL PHONES!
Hey? Do you remember what it was like NOT to have a cell phone? Yeah. Me either. Seems like I've had one glued to my hand forever. And I'm pretty sure you guys came out of your mommies with one in your hands. It probably looked a little something like this:
For this week please check out the following sites. They all include links to reviews for new cell technology. Please note, on the second one you'll have to click the "View All Photos in Gallery" link to see all the phones.

MY website was the "5 Upcoming Android Phones" http://www.geek.com/android/5-android-smartphones-worth-waiting-for-1534820/
The Oppo N1 looked like a promising phone, with the camera that rotates a 180 degrees to the front. Not only can you take pictures from the back with the 13MP camera, but you can take selfies with it also. It's a Chinese made phone, which, isn't surprising it's coming to America. I love the cool features this phone has, but I probably wouldn't purchase it because I love Apple iPhones too much. It's still a very decent, top of the line phone.
Crawford 1st period
I chose the Sony Xperia ZL's IR Blaster, which lets you control home entertainment devices. For me, this would be an efficient feature because the phone could double as a TV and Blu-Ray remote.
-Oliver, 1st period
I would choose the Yotaphone because You can 'throw' images onto the back screen to turn it into a custom case. Thats a pretty cool option, having the ability to constantly change your case.
Eason, 1st Period :D

I chose the Samsung Galaxy S4 because it is just like my Galaxy S3, if not better with better picture resolution and quailty. It has a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, and a 2-megapixel front-facing shooter that I absolutely admire. I personally believe that the Galaxy phones produce the best picture qualities compare to other smart phones this year.
-Heyn, 1st period
I would buy the LG Optimus Pro that lets you use three apps at once on the same screen. I think it's awesome because you don't have to get out of an app to go to another one. Also since I really don't know about phones all of the new features I read just seem so cool!
-Barrios, 1st period
http://www.mobileburn.com/22106/news/htc-one-max-now-official-launching-soon-with-59-inch-display-and-fingerprint-sensor
I chose the HTC One Max, an excellent feature is that it has a 5.9 inch display screen and i think it cool because it comes in different colors
Clifton 1st period
I choose the htc one from "The Best Upcoming Cell Phones" article. The HTC One is nice to me because its made of aluminum and the low light camera which makes it easier to snap in unlighted areas. Don't get me wrong I still loves IPhones but that is one of best androids to me.
-Cameron, 1st prd
I chose the LG G Flex, which is a phone that actually curves. I've never seen anything like that before...but it looks cool. It's supposed to have more sound when you're on the phone because it fits the contours of a person's face. I would definitely like that for when I need to talk on the phone in a crowded place.
-McClanahan, 1st period.
THe LG Flex is supposed to be able to be flexible, this seems sketchy...ALthough it seems weird, i would use this to be able to put my phone is my pocket, and not have it dug into my thigh when i sit, or worry about it cracking when in my back pocket!
KYle 2nd
The new LG Flex is really cool i really dont how its going to work. http://www.mobileburn.com/22150/news/lg-g-flex-made-official-as-the-first-real-curved-phone-with-self-healing-coating
Jacorey winn , 2 period
The iPhone 5s, because instead of typeing in your passcode you can just put your fingerprint on the home button and it unlocks, it makes getting into your phone so much easier for you, and impossible for a stanger.
-Irwin, 2nd period
The phone i would like to have is the Oppo N1 because of its rotating camera and because of the size of the screen. I would love these features because I take alot of pictures with my phone and i have bad eyesight so bigger is better.
Sincerely Yours,
Natepoleon D 1st Period
I would pick the Galaxy Note 3 because I really like the action memo feature. I think I would personally use it for whenever I need to make a quick note to myself or if I need to write down someones number

Motorola Droid 5
I have always been a fan of physical keyboards, and so I think it's really cool that Motorola is bringing it back. I definitely want it.
Culpepper, 2nd Period
I chose the Samsung Galaxy S4, my favorite feature on the phone that I would use is the 13-megapixel rear facing camera. I like taking pictures to keep memories and that's why I like and would use this feature.
Slide, 2nd period
I like the OPPO N1 and how it's camera feature is set.The camera is one of the first on a smart phone that has a 360 degree view vertically, they proclaim this will help people take higher end selfies and help take better pictures for apps(instagram, snapchat, ect...). With the world being connected better through verbal conversation this phone highlights the rise of connection through imagery.(Kade 2nd Period)
My personal favorite is that LG G Flex because just look at it, it is si cool apparently it is made with this really flexible metal stuff that actually curves the phone.
Delagarza, 2nd Period.
I chose the OPPO N1. a feature that i thought was cool is the phone has a back touch pad so you can scroll without touching the screen
Conner Covington
2nd period
I like the Google Nexus 5. This is the phone I'm thinking about getting. I like the fact that it's the only phone out with 4.4 Kit Kat & that it's fast because this phone has 800 snapdragon.
Laronda Steadham, 2nd Period
I choose the Moto G Motorola phone. This phone has an updated camera which blocks out all pixels and only provides you with a clear image. This is good for me because i love taking pivtures and creating memories.
-Coen, 2nd period
http://www.mobileburn.com/smartphone/lg/g+flex
i chose the LG G flex phone. this phone looks like it would be able to handle me. The multi screen, i would use this to search information and reply to my messages at once.

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2416653,00.asp
I personally prefer the HTC One because while i would love the big screen on the Samsung Galaxy S4 the more accurate color reproduction on the HTC is more inportant because it would be ne of the main things i would use it for, pictures.
-Torres 2nd Per.
http://www.geek.com/android/5-android-smartphones-worth-waiting-for-1534820/
I would choose the Oppo N1 because the camera turns over into the front camera. I think that the back camera takes better pictures to me the them front camera does and the back camera turns to the front camera so it would have way better picture quaility.
Jones, 2nd period.
I chose the OPPO N1. a feature that i thought was cool is the phone has a back touch pad so you can scroll without touching the screen. i think its cool because you dont even have to touch the screen to scroll.

Conner Covington 2nd period
I would chose the samsung Galaxy s4.Because they are so smooth on the case. I mainly like this because I don't like trying to touch those hard cases where when you first touch it doesnt feel that you touched it so you bascially have to hit it hard. which I do not like that at all. why I think this is cool is because my screen will never crack or get dirty because its just a light touch.-Clayton HIll 2nd period
I picked the Oppo N1 because instead of having a good camera onthe back and a crappy one on the front, it has one good camera that rotates to the front or back. I would use this feature to take high quality selfies. Judge me if you must.
-SWalker, 7th period
http://www.geek.com/android/5-android-smartphones-worth-waiting-for-1534820/2/
I chose the HTC one max because not only does it look like a cool phone but also because of its inside features-the 2.3GHz, 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage.
Teal 7th
i choose the Oppo N1 because it has a super-quality 13MP camera sensor that rotates all the way around. the rotating camera is awsome because now i can take pictures of whatever angle and thats awesome!
-Cano 7th Pd
the i-pad air is cool because it only weighs one pound. this is good so my grandma can hold it and not drop it
Denton 7

The phone I chose is the HTC One Max. It is supposed to have an incredible processor, Snapdragon 800(2.3 GHz, 2 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of storage), that makes it run as smoothly, or even better than, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I think that this phone is great because I loved the HTC One and now that it has been improved so much, I would definetly buy this phone because of all its unique features.
Your Favorite Mexican (~^_^), 7th Period
I think that the Oppo N1 is a very cool and unique phone. It's something that no other phone can do. It has camera sensor that can rotate all the way around. Since I love taking pictures, I will enjoy this. It also has a back touchpad for scrolling so that you don't even have to touch the screen, It's very awesome.

I choose the Galaxy Note 3, which is you can take notes, watch movies on it,and it's also has a control pen on it! It's amazing! I want one!
Wah, 7th period
Graded
The Oppo N1 is just the kind of phone I need. This phone has a 5.9inch 1080pixel and 2 gigabytes of ram. The fact that i can move the screen without ever touching it is very cool. If i had this phone I could pretend to have superpowers and trick my friends.LOL
Macon 7th
cisco
i would get the oppo n1 phone
cuse it look like it can last for a long time an it got a nice camera that rotates 180 degrees to the front an u can all so take pictuer from the back with the 13mp camera thats on it.
The website link wouldn't load for me but it was on pcmag.com
The phone i picked waas the Samsung Galaxy S4. The cool features on this was that it said that both cameras could work at he same time, and it could put one in like the corner so you could see both with decent 1080 megapixel camera techs. It sounds great, but what about the price, the world may never know just like how many licks it takes to get to the center of a totsie pop.
-Roland 7th Period
I choose the Nexus 5 Because #Androidmasterrace. A cool feature on it would have to be the Gorilla GLass 3 Coated Screen. I could chuck bricks at the thing and It would be fine. But Although it's already out, I'm in LOVE with the KitKat U.I, and It's got some pretty beast Specs. The Snapdragon 800 Has 4 Cores as opposed to the more common Dual core *cough *cough iPhone *cough*
and Each core clocks in at about 2.3Mhz. It also has a Soft touch backing, 1080P Display, and Nothing beast stock Android, Period.
-Zach, 7th Pd
The website that I have used was http://www.geek.com/android/5-android-smartphones-worth-waiting-for-1534820/
The Oppo N1 looks like a pretty cool awesome phone. The amazing feature that the this phone has is that it there's a back touchpad for scrolling withouth touching the screeen. To me, I think its cool because there will be an option to flash a stable build of cyonagen when you first boot it up.
Ibanez, 7th period
I chose the Xperia Z. The feature on this phone that I choose was the waterproof. I chose this because its not bulky life some waterproof phones and i would'nt have to worry about me placing my phone down in water or water getting on it. I could really use this because my phones and I don't have good reputation.
-Wright, 7th
http://www.mobileburn.com/22173/news/google-nexus-5-on-sale-for-349-too-399-unlocked
I chose the Nexus 5 because its a pretty big and thin phone.The feature i like about this phone is that it has storage options that include 16GB or 32GB internal memory which is good because i download too many Apps and takes up many of the memory space. It also has a 8-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization, LED flash, and a 1.3-megapixel front camera that makes a picture look great.
Venegas,7th
I chose the HTC one max because I love HTC phones.'They are so fun, I would use them for games and very little for business .'
~Ikner,Tye- 8th Period .'
the phone iam looking at is the nokia lumia and the reason i like this phone is because it has a 6inch screen which is awesome and because the camera quality is awesome........!!!!!!
Sweat 8th period
My webdite is the " 5 Android Phones". http://www.geek.com/android/5-android-smartphones-worth-waiting-for-1534820/
And i chose the Nexus 5 for my phone and they feature that i am going to tell you about is the 5 INCH screen because that would be awesome because i love anything that has a giant screen and it ART in its google programming so it runs so much faster than other phones.
Thumann/T-Dawg 8th period
I picked the iPhone 5s from mobileburn.com because it has fingerprint ID. I'd use this feature because I like my stuff being secure, but I'm too lazy to make a complex passcode, so using my fingerprint would be a lazy and awesome solution to securing my phone.
Harley- 8th
I chose the Yotaphone because you can put images on the back and make your own custom cases from it. I just thought it was cool to put exactly what you want as your case and not have to spend any monney on the case.

The Oppo N1 is pretty cool because it's waterproof. I personally have dropped my phone in water and became extremely emotionally distressed, so this is a nice reassuring feature. Plus the rotating camera is pretty cool so you can creep on people without being as obvious. Very helpful if you ask me!
Labbit, 8th~ n_n
http://www.geek.com/android/5-android-smartphones-worth-waiting-for-1534820/
i choose the Oppo N1 because it has a super-quality 13MP camera sensor that rotates all the way around and that means you can take photos from every angle. and it also water proof which comes in handy if you accidentally drop it in water.
- Castro 8th >.<
I picked the OPPO N1 at http://www.geek.com/android/5-android-smartphones-worth-waiting-for-1534820/ because it has a back touch pad for scrolling ,which makes sense to me because my fingers (which i use for scrolling) are also on the back of the phone and it also has a revolving camera for high quaility selfies and i like high quality selfies.
D'Andre 8th period

The Oppo N1 was pretty interesting, epsecially since its 13MP camera can turn 180 degrees and take not only foward facing pictures, but selfies in high definition! But seriously the phone has cool features like having a touchscreen on the back so that you don't have to mess up your screen.
Cold 8th
My site is http://www.geek.com/android/5-android-smartphones-worth-waiting-for-1534820/ and the phone is the Nexus 5. The feature that makes this the phone for me is that it has Android 4.4. It would make it easier to stay up to date with my favorite apps and programs.
Taylor 8th
I chose the Yotaphone, because i like its feature of throwing a custom image to the back. I like this feature because it gets rid of the reason of getting a custom case.
Gipson, 8th Period
It seems that time of the week has rolled around for the release of another smart phone, this time the Nexus 7 by google.
This phone comes equiped with a revolutionary new technology: the ability to instantly send short messages in the form of pros to a friend, in this place of an ordinary phone call. They are calling this incredible tech "texting." It's been rumored that this "texting" will almost totally replace phone calls.
How would I use such advanced technology? To tell the truth, it is something I've awaited for a long time. No longer must the human race be burdened with actually talking to another, using their speech skills to maintain an interesting conversation, refine their grammar, and avoid awkwardly long pauses. With this tech, I can wait as long as I like before replying, and when I feel a meaningful response is in order, I no longer need to reply with anything more advanced that 'lol.'
We truly are living in an age of heightened communication.
tl;dr: How about that technology, huh?

motorola droid 5. I am a BIG fan of the hardware QWERTY keyboard. I love the feel of texting with the buttons, but also the smartphone flair. I always dreamed of a smartphone WITH keyboard.

Honestly, most of the phones seem really cool and high-end; however, some of them just looked like alien phones.
