In the Market for a Samsung Galaxy?

You’ve come to the right place. We sell a wide range of models and makes here at Computers Plus Cellphones, which includes some of the relatively newer Samsung Models such as the Samsung Galaxy S9 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. You might think you can’t afford these models and have to opt for an older one, but this isn’t the case when you shop with us. Why not browse and check out the highlights of the phone you want rather than the phone you have to settle for?

The Samsung Galaxy S9

Samsung released the S9 in March of 2018, at about $719.00, a high price for its high-quality features. The S9 comes with a dual-lens camera for sharper far-away shots and an adjustable aperture for better camera performance in low lighting. The camera also has a slow-motion feature that allows you to fast forward, rewind, or reverse your captured videos for a bit of that novice cinematographer effect. The also S9 comes equipped with stereo speakers, one top and one on bottom, to give the smartphone some serious sound for those nights on the back porch blasting your playlist among friends.

The S9 is a winner in security, providing users with a facial and iris scanning combination to lower the failure rate of securely unlocking your phone – and the best thing, photos of its users can’t trick the security. The fingerprint scanner is also beneath the camera instead of right next to it, taking away the risk of smudging the lens. Lastly, the S9 comes with improved Bixby Vision, which lets you translate texts from other languages and view the calorie count of your food, among other neat options.

The Samsung Note 8

The Note 8 was released in September of 2017, priced at $926.00, and was an excellent save for Samsung after the big Note 7 recall during 2016. The best thing about this smartphone is it’s vibrant, 6.3-inch display. You can take advantage of app pairing in multi-window mode to use two apps at the same time to make use of the large and screen. The Note 8 provides 6GB of RAM and, like the S9, comes with a dual-lens camera. The Note 8 also comes with the wonderful S Pen, which allows you to sign documents, jot notes, and draw up animated, handwritten messages with Live Messages.

How Do I Pick?

When it comes to choosing the right smartphone, the most important things to look at are the brightness and color quality, the amount of storage space, and which phone holds a charge best. Of course, you also want to pick the phone that feels right to you and remember not to pay more than you need to. Luckily, you don’t have to.

iPhone Touchscreen Repairs

All iPhone models have a capacitive touchscreen. Cap-what you say? Capacitance is how much electricity something is capable of holding. The electricity in one part of the screen is lighting it up.

But in another part the of touchscreen electricity is just sitting doing nothing. Since the human body conducts electricity, when it comes in contact with the screen it changes how much electricity can sit there. The phone just figures out where the electric charge is changed by your finger the most so it knows where you tapped.

As shown in the diagram above, there is a liquid crystal display (LCD) at the bottom which shows the picture. On the very top is a hard layer for protection. But everything else in between is for the touchscreen. It’s all transparent so you can see the picture but you’re actually tapping separate touchscreen layers on top of it.

In the past, the LCD and touchscreen layers were more separate. Newer phones are seeing more integration of LCD and touch technology. One reason for that is to make phones even thinner and lighter.

So what about fixing a screen? While you might be able to see your phone screen mostly even when it gets a crack, your touchscreen is much more fragile. When electricity can’t sit evenly, there is no way to figure out where a touch is happening. So it’s pretty much all-or-nothing for a cracked screen: it usually either works ok or it doesn’t.

These days, phones are being made so fast it’s far easier to get a brand new screen then it is to try to fix a broken one; not to mention it may be impossible to fix it %100 in some cases. Once you get a replacement screen, you have to be able to take a phone apart and put it back together with the new part. iPhones in particular are complicated in all aspects.

At iFixNSell, we focus on offering high-quality cell phone repair services at affordable prices because we know how important your smartphone, tablet, or laptop is to you. Our team strives to have your device in perfect working condition within a reasonable amount of time. We perform many different repair services besides screens, too.

Three Reasons You Should Sell Us Your iPhone

So you have an extra iPhone.  Or maybe you switched to Android.  Or you need cash.  You’ll be much better off selling your iPhone (or iPad or whatever) right here in Orlando, Florida instead of hundreds or thousands of miles away.  Deal with someone face-to-face.  You can call us right now at (407) 990-1061.

Here are three reasons why it’s better to sell your iPhone to a store near you like iFixNSell:

Support Your Local Economy

People sometimes underestimate the power of keeping money close to home.  When you deal with a manufacturer, your phone could leave Florida and go to California.  That phone gets sold and then someone buys a sandwich in California with that money.  Doing business locally keeps wealth circulating in the neighborhood and city where you live.

Deal with a Real Person

There is no substitute for dealing with people face-to-face.  When you look someone in the eye you can tell if they are being honest with you.  Talking is natural and a lot easier than emails back and forth or phone messages back and forth.  It’s nice to interact with do business with human beings instead of vending machines.

Get Cash Fast

There is no comparison: get cash in minutes or get cash in days. iFixNSell has several locations in Orlando to serve you better.  You can even get a quote before you come in on our buy back site.

When (Phone and Computer) Worlds Collide

The world is completely wiped out by a huge planetary collision but yet humans start a new life on Bronson Beta in “When Worlds Collide.”  Meanwhile, in actual Earth, the desktop computer has just been destroyed by a huge mobile phone collision.  But a new life is emerging where all kinds of consumer devices – cell phones, tables, and OK, there are still some desktops – live in harmony.  Let’s look at some key facts.

In March of 2017, the unthinkable happened: Microsoft Windows, still in full strength, became a minority.  Android became the most widely used operating system (OS) in the world.  It’s also worth noting that Apple’s desktop operating system, OS X, saw no increase in market share while it’s mobile OS has continued to rise slowly.  At worst, we can say it’s now a level playing field: no one type of computer is dominating overall.  But how did that happen?

Figure 1: Number of Global Users

Back in 2014, the number of mobile device users met and exceeded the number of desktop computer users.  But many people had both desktops and mobile devices, so the market share was still much larger.   If you’ll notice, there has simply been a gradual increase in smartphone use over the last ten years.  Still, desktop users have not just thrown their systems out the window and picked up phones.

Figure 3: Device Landscape

The present landscape is that most people using modern technology have multiple devices: desktops, laptops, tablets, smartphones, smartwatches.  That has several implications in the marketplace.  For example, peripherals are no longer primarily USB and serial ports but rather a wide array of ports and sizes.  Repair shops need to expand their resources and train technicians on different kinds of devices in order to serve the masses.  This diversity gives consumers more options to suit their needs, but comes a cost.
