"I do not need a high end smartphone," my dad said, as he was shopping around for a new handset to replace his aging Nexus 4. "All I want is something with a performance camera, large high resolution screen, long battery life, and more storage capacity." I do not know about you, but I am pretty sure my dad pretty much just described a high end smartphone, despite saying he is not looking for a high end smartphone. Therefore, I jokingly replied, "I do not need a high end car. All I want is something with at least 500hp, premium leather, panoramic sunroof, heated and cooled seats, adaptive LED headlights, and navigation." I think his point of not looking for a "high end smartphone" was not related to the features, but rather, the price. We all crave for cutting edge performance and top end features, and hence why these things are desirable. However, there is always a limitation of how much more money people are willing to spend in order to get them. If one can get a product that meets all their requirements for less money than they expect, then we got a sale. Today, we will take a look at the SteelSeries Rival 100.
