NCUM

NCU Mobile (NCUM) *Logo In Helvetica Neue 45 Light, And In Crimson Red* Is A Mobile Handset A Subsidiary Of The American Company Spike/NCU, NCU Mobile Is A Mississippi-Based Subsidiary Based In Gulfport, Mississippi A Mile Away From Spike/NCU Headquarters. NCUM Uses Custom Solutions From Intel For They're Phones, They Select The Parts From Certain Companies They Simply Just Like The Most, NCUM Controls ls 42% Of The Market And The 3rd-Largest Phone Manufacturer From The United States And 2nd-Most Exported American Phone Manufacturer But It's Global Market Is 38% Which Makes It A "Mainstream" Company Reporting $163.2B USD From Sales Of They're Phones, And Being Worth $1.2 Trillion USD An With 142,107 Employees, Intel Is Also Allowed To Contribute To Their Handsets Without Any Approval, They're Handsets Are Manufactured By Flextronics (Because of Proximity, And Hate Of Foxconn For Employee Abuse).
In September 2010, NCUM Was Founded By Estonian-American Sherlet H. Domingo Who Was The CEO Of NCUM Until Sep 23, 2015, When He Tragically He Perished At The Age Of 34 From An Accidental Car Crash ("The Crash Wasn't An Accident, It Was Actually Intentional, The Suspect Was Arrested And Charged With Hate Crime"), And He Created First 3 Handset Series Under NCUM, He Created... The GTouch G, ZNote Z, And Novan N, The Last Handset He Ever Made Was The NCUM GTouch G6, NCUM Was Then Ruled Directly By Spike/NCU For 5 Days, Until Japanese-American Ryan M. Odrey, Joined The Company On Sep 27, 2015, Which He Is Still the CEO To This Day.
(The Specifications For Each Of The Three Phone Series Are Almost Identically The Same As The Samsung Galaxy S (Plus Or The Ultra Model If It’s Available) From That Year, Camera, Battery, Voltage, You Get The Point, But There Are Some Differences Though, NCUM Keeps They’re Phone Designs And Internals Rounded And Very Consistent, However, It Only Has One RAM Option, And Uses Parts And Technologies That Are At Least A Year Old To Ensure It Is Tested Thoroughly, And Always Uses A Custom Intel Central Processor, They Have Always Used LG’s WOLED Screen Technology Instead Of Samsung’s AMOLED With It’s PixLess Display Technology, An Proprietary And Official Extension To LG WOLED First Created On Sep 21, 2010, PixLess Is The Process Of Connecting Each LED In A WOLED Together To Remove The Grid-Like Pattern Seen On MIllions Of Screens Across The World Creating A Smooth And Never Imperfect Output, But Still, The Glass Applied Onto The OLED Is At Least A Year-Old Gorilla Glass Technology, NCUM’s OLED Screens Are Supplied By LG, And NCUM Phones Come In 7 Different Colors, Only The Changes Will Be Highlighted).
