It’s amazing how much have changed in just the span of five years. From bulky bodies with 3 to 4-inch screens, our flagships now are slimmer, bigger, and more powerful that it makes us wonder how much change the next five years will bring.

    • Haha! Funny! Very funny! ROFL


    • i guess that’s how your puny brain understands it. -.- I pity this fool!


  2. puny brained people do not understand humor, they call other people foolish because they cannot process what others had in mind


    • 2006 LG Prada phone first generation was come before iphone 3g.

      it was the WORLD’S FIRST FULLY CAPACITIVE TOUCHSCREEN PHONE


  3. The iPhone image is too big relative to the other flagships. It’s not proportional.


  4. galing ng mga comparison! ayus tong article na to. ty sir louie


  5. Amazing post :D The technology is grow very fast :)


  6. A trip down memory lane. Not surprising though, since technology’s pace doubles every 2 years in the past 13 years. Hopefully, we would see more cost-effective and sustainable advances in communications technology.


  7. Sony should have start with the very first xperia with windows OS.
