Quality Tech Talk

Welcome to another episode of Quality Tech Talk! In today's episode, we take a look at the smartphones and smartphone makers that we here in the US might not think about but should definitely consider. We take a look at the new batch of Xperia phones from Sony that was just announced, TCL's new 20 lines of smartphones, the resurgence of Motorola here in the States, and close it out with the Samsung Galaxy A52 a Samsung phone that probably needs more attention than its getting compared to the flagship S line. We close the episode by talking about which of these players can challenge the standard of Galaxy S, Note, and iPhone dominance here in the US.
