Home > News > Samsung Galaxy S8 to Sony Xperia XZ Premium: 12 water-resistant smartphones you can buy before the onset of monsoons With monsoons on our head, here are a bunch of smartphones that can survive the elements. Monsoons are right around the corner and before you start planning a short trip to the mountains, bathing in the lush green of nature, or trying to share pictures on social media; please remind yourself that not all smartphones are water or splash resistant. One of the major flaws with smartphones, after their fragile displays, is indeed their moisture fighting capacity. But thanks to some thoughtful manufacturers there are some smartphones which have the ability to survive the elements. The IP or Ingress Protection ratings are used to gauge and define the levels of sealing effectiveness against intrusion from dirt or moisture. In the IP rating, the first digit stands for resistance to dust while the second stands for water resistance. With th

It has a fine 0.7mm nib, can detect up to 4,000 levels of pressure, and supports Windows Ink as well as the Galaxy smartphones' Air Command. That means you can use the S Pen to sign documents and take notes on the Windows 10 laptop. To be fair, many convertibles already support stylus input, including options from HP, Lenovo and Dell, but Samsung's device offers more comprehensive and helpful tools. Like previous Samsung Notebooks, the 9 Pro also supports fast charging over USB Type-C using a compatible smartphone charger, although the company hasn't provided an estimate for how long it would take to fully power the 54Whr cell. You can also plug it into a portable battery pack to draw power on the go.

The Galaxy S8 marked the introduction of many new features on Samsung's lineup of flagship smartphones, including the virtual assistant Bixby and a display that doesn't leave room for much else on the front panel. Indeed, the Infinity Display on the Galaxy S8 allowed the South Korean smartphone maker to remove the physical home button from the front panel and replace hardware or capacitive navigation buttons with on-screen ones. The most prolific smartphones that use onboard navigation buttons are Google's Pixel devices, which offer stock Android experience and thus feature a design that can't be found on Samsung smartphones. Users who are keen on the design that Android offers can add an overlay to capacitive buttons on the Galaxy S8, to make them resemble the ones found on Pixel phones. The third-party app doesn't require root access Samsung's capacitive buttons don't adhere to Android guidelines, but the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus do offer users the

Samsung confirmed earlier this year that it is working to revive the ill-fated Galaxy Note 7. Again. As we're sure we don't need to remind you, last year's flagship Galaxy Note phone was released to plenty of acclaim from reviewers and users alike. Then, phones started exploding while being charged. After that, phones started exploding while in use. One Note 7 explosion set a man's Jeep on fire, while another burned down a family's house. Samsung was forced to recall the device, but the company resumed sales when it thought it had determined the cause of the fires. Of course, Samsung was wrong. Note 7 phones kept exploding, and the South Korean electronics giant had no choice but to recall it again and discontinue it completely. Now, like a little glass and metal phoenix, the Note 7 is set to rise from the ashes — and a report out of Asia offers new details surrounding the refurbished Galaxy Note 7's release. According to a new report on Wednesday from E

Rick Wilking | Reuters Mike George, VP Alexa, Echo and Appstore for Amazon, speaks during the LG press conference at CES in Las Vegas, January 4, 2017 Amazon could cut the cost of its smartphone, too, and sell an unlocked device that could be purchased direct on its store and that would work across U.S. and international carriers. Manufacturers like Motorola, Huawei, Alcatel and others all build good smartphones that can cost under $300. Anything more, and I think Amazon risks competing too closely with big hitters like Samsung and Apple. Yes, you can get Amazon's apps and services on other smartphone platforms, but a single device built around Amazon's services and Alexa, one that could provide on-demand voice access to the smart assistant, unlimited access to Amazon's music and video services, and with a low up-front cost, would be very appealing.
