There are tons of apps offered for comic lovers to enjoy! Some of the most popular and highly rated apps for reading comics on the Galaxy are Droid Comic Viewer, Perfect Viewer, JJ Comic Viewer and Comic. Also, it’s easy to keep up with the latest news in comics, such as new releases and when the next character is scheduled to debut on screen.
Apps are also available to help find nearby comic conventions, and a GPS is always handy when a convention venue is almost impossible to find. Marvel comics are now available for smartphones, and the action is animated with movement to add even more excitement to the story. Spiderman, the Hulk…. they’re all there. Plus, access to over 10,000 back issues runs just $5 to $10 per month.
As with everything, some phones are more suited to certain activities, and the Samsung Galaxy is especially well suited to comic readers. Social networking capabilities of the Galaxy make it great for keeping up with other commies. Like Facebook pages of all your favorites, network with other like-minded enthusiasts, follow their Twitter pages and much more using social networking apps right from the smartphone. With everything these phones make possible, the smartphone just might be the superhero’s new best friend.
Downloading lots of files with heavy graphics or music requires a lot of data to be transferred to the phone through cell towers, and some phones or phone plans just won’t cut it. The pages either take forever to download or time out completely. Or, you end up paying more for cell service. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Phones and service providers are out there who can accommodate the needs of people who love their graphics and music, and hate waiting or not getting the downloads they need.
The reason this happens is called throttling. Throttling occurs when users are working with heavy amounts of data, which bogs down the system. Since most people are continuously using their cell phones for calls, texting, downloads and other uses, when large numbers of people work with huge amounts of data, the system becomes overloaded. Cell phone service providers must manage the resources of the system so that everyone has a fair shot at getting access. So, users taking up the most system resources get slowed down.
Lots of color graphics, music files, large downloads and other data-heavy uses are among the things that bog down systems and are subject to throttling. Until now, there weren’t a lot of options for users to keep track of the data they’re using or make adjustments to prevent throttling or data overages. For people who love graphic art, an excellent option is the Samsung Galaxy. This phone allows the user to control how much data is transferred, so unused apps can be shut down and keep from bogging down the service. This feature also helps keep down cell service costs and boosts the overall performance of the phone.
