Putting down roots in Berlin after six years of traveling is a major step for Kris Carlon, who has spent more time living out of a tent lately than sitting at a desk. Kris comes to the AndroidPIT Editorial Team via a lengthy period spent writing on art and culture in Australia and other places he has lived. He joined the Android community while resurfacing in civilization back in 2010 and has never looked back, using technology to replace his actual presence in other people's lives ever since.We all need to take an occasional break from presenting insightful and technical articles about the ins and outs of Android and just engage in one of life's simple little pleasures.

Not sure what kind of IPS rating that will require but let's cross our fingers for the Note 4, shall we? Now, get back to work!
