Samsung Android Phones

Earlier in September when Apple announced the iPhone X, it introduced it as the "phone of the future", one that would chart a path for the smartphone industry to follow for the next decade. The device for what it's worth comes with interesting features, but none – including Apple's take on facial recognition, FaceID – can truly be called revolutionary. However, things look to be going from bad to worse for this former maverick of the tech industry, as South Korean tech giant, Samsung, which over the years has been accused of copying features and design elements from the iPhone lineup is looking all set to come out with a revolutionary feature that the Apple will have to bring onboard the future iPhones. If reports are to be believed, Samsung's next high-end flagship device, the Galaxy X, will come with a foldable display that would make it more of a contender to be called the phone of the future than the iPhone X. What's more, the news of this smartphone

PH iPhone 7 and Galaxy S8 price crash If you're looking for a deal this weekend there are two very good offers on the iPhone 7 and Galaxy S8. With Apple and Samsung both revealing new phones in the past few weeks it seems these slightly older devices are getting reduced in price. Apple launched its iPhone 8 last week and the Galaxy Note 8 has also just gone sale. Both of these new smartphones offer improvements over their predecessors including improved displays, better cameras and faster processors. However, the older iPhone 7 and Galaxy S8 are still excellent devices and now they are much more affordable. iPhone 8 Plus camera TESTED - Stunning images taken on Apple smartphone Fri, September 22, 2017 APPLE'S iPhone 8 Plus has an updated dual-lens camera which is much better in low light situations. Here's some sample pictures taken on Apple's new smartphone EXPRESS NEWSPAPERS 1 of 9 Apple iPhone 8 Plus camera text Mobiles.co.uk ha

The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL's specs have been leaked. DroidLife Google is set to announce its new Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL smartphones on October 4, but the alleged specs for both phones leaked on Thursday by a source reporting to Android Authority. Most of the leaked information in Android Authority's report has already been leaked or rumored, but there are a few details we hadn't seen before.  For one, the larger Pixel 2 XL will have a curved display that could be similar to the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Note 8 phones. The phone is also said to have narrow bezels with a screen-to-body ratio between 80-85%, which is also similar to the Galaxy phones. The Pixel 2 XL's display could also feature a wide color gamut for richer colors. The smaller Pixel 2, on the other hand, is said to have a similar design as the original Pixel, which means it won't have a curved display with narrow bezels, nor will it have a wide color gamut. Apart from those new details, And

More than a month after its initial release, the Essential Phone has only sold 5,000 units. That's not good. Just like every year, 2017 has brought the release of a lot of new phones — most of them very good. You've got your heavy-hitters like the Galaxy Note 8 and LG V30, but then there's the market oddity that is the Essential Phone. The very first product from Andy Rubin's new startup was officially launched on August 17, and since then, it's being reported that a mere 5,000 units of the Essential Phone have been sold. In the smartphone world, 5,000 units sold in more than a month's time is nothing. BayStreet Research came up with this number by tracking shipments of the Essential Phone across the United States, and when BayStreet asked Essential for a comment on their findings, they didn't receive any sort of response. To put things into perspective, Samsung's Galaxy Note 8 saw 650,000 preorders in South Korea in just five days. Compared to t

Samsung, the world's leading smartphone maker, and Apple have pursued divergent strategies since the "patent wars" earlier in the decade. Samsung's willingness to invest in R&D has led to stunning innovation across a wide range of products. Samsung is now challenging companies like Johnson & Johnson in the pharmaceutical industry, Tesla in the EV and battery storage industry and Intel in the semiconductor industry. Samsung is now the leading semiconductor manufacturer, surpassing Intel in Q2 2017. Intel had been the leader since 1991. Although geopolitical risk and leadership uncertainty loom, Samsung has become one of the world's most innovative conglomerates. Introduction Several years ago, while standing on the steps of a San Francisco courthouse I heard Tim Cook proclaim that Apple (AAPL) could not continue to be the be technology developer for the world. He said this prior to a court hearing where Apple was suing Samsung (OTC:SSNL

Google late Wednesday announced that it would pay $1.1 billion for employees from HTC's smartphone unit, prompting waves upon waves of speculation about what might come next from this hookup. But I have one hope: that Google's clout and HTC's design can give us something to challenge Apple and Samsung. Now, let me be clear. I'm not against either Apple or Samsung — they both make nice phones. I'm also not saying there aren't other smartphone companies out there, because there obviously are. But while there are firms doing interesting things — Essential, LG, even Google's former acquisition Motorola — it definitely feels like this is Apple and Samsung's market and we're all just living in it. Having more players is also good for innovation. "Two is better than one. But three is better than two," said Patrick Moorhead, principal analyst at Moor Insights. Yes, it's true that both Apple and Samsung face pressure globally from

The Galaxy Note 8 has a dual-camera, but can it stand up to the phone that started this mode of dual-camera shooting? We pit it against the iPhone 7 Plus to find out. Samsung's first dual-camera smartphone may be the best Note we've ever seen, but the dual-camera aspect isn't particularly new. Samsung chose to offer bokeh and zoom modes, which was started by its arch rival Apple. So, the obvious question is whether the Galaxy Note 8 (review) can beat the IPhone 7 Plus (review) at its own game. We do not have the iPhone 8 Plus in India yet, but this comparison should still give you a fair idea of where the Note 8 stands with respect to that phone. Portrait Mode What Apple calls Portrait Mode, Samsung presents as the Live Focus mode. They both create background blurs, using the secondary sensors and some software magic. We took photos in indoor, outdoor and even low light conditions. Here are the results.  Original Image Outdoor daylight shot. Sam

The stylus sets Samsung's Note phones apart from the competition. We interrupt the iPhone mania of late to remind you there are other flagship phones on the market, including the much-anticipated Samsung Galaxy Note 8. There will be plenty of time to review the iPhone when it's actually for sale. But for the past week, I've been using the Note 8, and it is a quite worthy successor to the beloved but ill-fated Galaxy Note 7. I'm sure you all remember the Note 7 with its battery fire issues. Here's hoping Samsung learned to respect the limitations of the battery in the Note 8. Pros: Huge, beautiful screen, dual cameras, S PenCons: ExpensiveBottom line: All the greatness of the S8, and it has a pen. W
