Samsung Galaxy S8

Image
We will have to wait a few months for the official presentation of the Galaxy S8. However, persistent and well-informed rumors have leaked some features of the next Korean brand flagship. And it seems that Samsung will strike very hard pushing technological limits and propose a smartphone ultra-powerful and perfectly adapted for virtual reality. Samsung had to react after the fiasco of the Galaxy Note 7 explosive. The Korean manufacturer is working hard to propose a new smartphone Galaxy S8 extremely powerful and 100% optimized for virtual reality. The next phone of the Korean brand should push the existing technological limits to offer a racing beast able to compete with many computers! The Samsung phone should also offer an exceptional rendering in virtual reality. The Galaxy S8 should ship 8 GB of RAM and push the limits: The newspaper of new technologies online from China "Gizmochina", always very well informed, ensures that Samsung would work to integrate not less...

the best smartphones

Image
Whe ther ultra-compact or tablet-based, high-end smartphones feature the latest technology and performance. Here are the top 10 according to the tests I have already done. Samsung ubiquitous. The Korean manufacturer trusteed this ranking with no less than four models out of the ten tested. The rest goes to Apple (only other manufacturer to have more than one model in contention), HTC, Huawei and Sony. The main reason for this dominance comes in particular from the excellent performance of Samsung in the field of autonomy. The latter is very well rewarded by our model of analysis: a good smartphone must be able to be used without having to recharge it before the end of the day or even the following day. It is also this specific point of autonomy that puts the iPhone down, ranked at the bottom of the table despite the very good performances of Apple's smartphone. Why buy a smartphone? We find on the market of smartphones low cost, less than 200 euros, with performance constantl...

Samsung Galaxy A8

Image
You don't need to be the best if you can be the crowd favorite. The Samsung Galaxy A8 is Samsung's thinnest smartphone yet and is certainly learning from the Note5 in some respects, but while it can't beat it on features it's likely to rival it on popularity. The Galaxy A8 is the biggest of the A series with a 5.7" Super AMOLED screen like the last three Notes. It only has a 1080p resolution though, like the Note 3, so it's not as superbly crisp as the Note5 but not bad either at 386ppi (close to the iPhone 6 Plus 5.5" 1080p display). Like the Galaxy Note5, the A8 has a metal frame, but it's lighter and thinner. At only 5.9mm thick it limbos lower than any other Galaxy yet and even most other phones on the market. Surprisingly, this didn't come at the expense of battery capacity - the Galaxy A8 actually tops the Note5 in this category. The good news keeps rolling in when we get to the camera too. A 16MP shooter adorns the back with an ...

Apple iPHONE 6S review

Image
I have really big hands. It’s not something I usually think about; you don’t ever really think about your hands. Those are my hands, you might idly remark to yourself from time to time. I wonder if I can use them for anything good. But using a smartphone with a huge screen, like the iPhone 6 Plus, forces you to constantly consider the size of your hands. This phone looks huge, even in my admittedly large hands, you might think to yourself. Or: Dammit, I can’t reach that button without using my other hand. Or: If my children and my children’s children and their children and all the children after that keep contorting their hands to use phones like this for generations, will our hands evolve to have gigantic thumbs? It is not often that a new iPhone threatens to alter the course of human evolution, is what I’m saying. But here we are. I have really big hands. Also: read our iPhone 6 review The iPhone 6 Plus isn’t beautiful the way the iPhone 4 was beautiful. No one’s going...

Sony Xperia XZ review

Image
The Sony Xperia XZ is a great premium handset offering everything you'd expect from a flagship phone. If you own a recent Sony phone though it might not be enough of an improvement to rush out and buy it on day one. FOR : -New refined design. -Impressive camera improvements. -Return of waterproofing. AGAINST : -Only full HD screen. -No fingerprint scanner in the US. -Not running Android 7 software. The Sony Xperia XZ may be the brand's fourth flagship in the last two years, but it's been a whole year since it released the Xperia Z5 to critical acclaim at IFA 2015. In the meantime Sony has released the Xperia X, which we believed to be its latest flagship handset at the time – but it wasn't. The Xperia XZ is that phone. See all Sony Xperia XZ deals The Xperia Z line is now dead. Every Sony phone will now be part of the Xperia X line, whether it's a budget, mid-range or high-end device, and will sit under the top-dog Xperia XZ – at least until we se...
