Samsung Galaxy S Light Luxury now Official

Author:
The Galaxy S Light Luxury was just announced in China packing very modest specs, the device is pretty much a "lite" variant of the Galaxy S8. The 5.8' screen from the S8 makes a return keeping the same dimensions as its bigger brother. The Light S features the same Super AMOLED panel with 1,080 x 2,220 px resolution (18.5:9). The phone has a single camera on the back - 16 MP sensor and an f/1.7 aperture. It can record 4K video at 30 fps, but OIS is absent (surprisingly). The selfie camera has an 8 MP sensor with an f/1.7 aperture. The Snapdragon 660 chipset inside the Galaxy S Light Luxury should offer similar CPU performance to the Galaxy S8's 835. It does have 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. Given the Galaxy S Light Luxury's size, it shouldn’t be a surprise that there’s a 3,000 mAh battery – the same capacity as the Galaxy S8. There’s support for fast wireless and wired charging, the latter of which goes over the USB-C port....

Razer Phone Review, Specifications and Price

Author:



Looking for a gaming smartphone to play Hearthstone and Vainglory till your fingers bleed? Razer have just saved you the trouble of searching. The company which bought OEM Nexbit earlier this year just took the wraps off the, Razer Phone. The device which is aptly named packs a lot of bang for a lot of buck. The device features top of the line specs as well as features not seen on smartphones.

120Hz screen? Why not. The Razer Phone packs a 5.7-inch QHD IGZO LCD panel (1440 x 2560) with a wide colour gamut and 120Hz refresh rate, which is the first of its kind on Android smartphones. This means the “PC master race” gamers will marvel at the prospects of gaming at 120fps on a mobile device. The Razer Phone achieves this feat with the help of “UltraMotion”, an adaptive sync technology that syncs the GPU with the display much like V-Sync or Nvidia’s G-sync. This helps to ensure there are no lags at high frame rates.

There is a dual tone LED flash to help with night time shots. The selfie camera is an 8MP unit.  The camera can effortlessly switch from wide angle to telephoto in an instant according to Razer.

DESIGN


A Snapdragon 835 SoC is at the heart of this device. Featuring an 8-core processor with speeds up to 2.45GHz, the Razer Phone is of flagship class. There is also 8GB, dual channel RAM (LPDDR4, 1866MHz). This ensures the ultimate gaming and viewing experience. This experience is further improved with Razer’s own Game Booster which offers top notch thermal throttling management to fully utilize the phone’s power and performance. This device is made out of an Aluminium CNC chassis for superior quality and finish.

FEATURES


The Razer Phone houses two front facing stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos sound and certified by THX. Each speaker has its own amplifier and features 24-bit DAC. This device comes pre-loaded with Android 7.1.1 Nougat, an Oreo update is scheduled for early 2018. There is a fingerprint scanner embedded in the power button, 64GB of internal storage and a 4,000mAh battery. Razer claims the battery should last for 12 hours+ for movies, 63.5 hours for music and 7 hours of Hearthstone.

The Razer Phone is will be available for purchase from the 17th of November through the company’s online store for a price of $699. Pre-orders for this device starts on Friday and will be available in Microsoft stores in the U.S and Canada.

  Oppo F5 Overview and Specifications

Author:

The F5’s display is beautifully crafted and curved on both sides. With a 6.0-inch screen, featuring a resolution of 1080x2160 pixels giving a tall 18:9 aspect resolution. The panel is an IPS LCD panel, so no awards won there, however the display is gorgeous and rather impressive.

Innjoo Vision Review and Specifications

Author:
Chinese OEM, Innjoo, just announced a new smartphone for the Nigerian market.

DISPLAY The Vision packs a 5.8-inch IPS LCD screen with a HD+ (720 x 1280px) resolution. This gives it an 18:9 aspect ratio in a bid to keep up with the 2017 trend.

iOS Apps Can Spy on You Through Your iPhone's Camera

Author:
Another privacy loophole in the apple iOS was discovered when top iOS researcher and founder of Fastlane Tools, Felix Krause, noticed the problem in the mobile firmware. He said that apple was leaving its camera and recording access so loosely such that third party apps can easily spy on users without any warning. Krause explained that “iOS users often grant camera access to an app soon after they download it (e.g. to add an avatar or to send a photo) and these apps, like a messaging app or any news feed based app, can easily track the users face, take pictures, or live stream the front or back camera without the user’s content.” He further explained that a worse-case scenario will be an app that is installed and asks once for the camera access to either take an avatar or upload an image but then secretly upload pictures of the user on the internet. He also noticed that under the latest iOS version apps have been given to much freedom in the sense that it cou...

LG G7 with ThinQ AI features hit the market with 70000 pre-orders

Author:
The LG G7 ThinQ was finally released for sale about a week ago, and despite the rough landing they've had in previous releases, this particular model has managed to score so much as 70,000 pre-order sales in just six days. This is almost twice as much as the G6 sale (40,000) around the same time frame last year. Note this is just in South Korea, so there's still a chance to get higher sales numbers when it eventually goes global. Source

Amazon to launch Echo, Echo Plus and Echo Dot in Japan

Author:
After Amazon launched the Echo, Echo Plus, and Echo Dot in Japan some days ago, it made the hardware together with the Alexa voice assistant available in the country. While Amazon claims to have an Alexa voice search for Japan soon, developers can gain access to Alexa skills which also has support for Japanese and it has Alexa available for customers also along with a list of apps and services that amazon has to offer. While this new device might help to boost amazon’s market in Japan, it is very unlikely that it will help them to overtake Rakuten, as Japan’s biggest E-commerce firm. Although Amazon has offered e-books in Japan since 2010 and as of today has a full suite of Prime services, considerable amount of work would still be required if they are to ever overtake Rakuten. Due to the fact that Japan has the third largest Global economy, Amazon would still be in for a potentially lucrative market in Japan.   Amazon also launched a basic edition of its Fire TV Stic...

The iPhone X full phone review and specifications

Author:
       When we talk about the iPhone series, a lot comes to mind, and one of those things is the cutting edge they build into their products, in light of this, the iPhone X (ten) is no exception and this article shows what the 1000 dollar smartphone will do for you.  Design        Alright first off, let’s talk aesthetics, Apple took quite a bit of a different approach on the iPhone X, ditching the bezels and taking out the home button (more on that in a moment). The front and back has a complete glass finish which according to Apple are supposedly the more durable on a smart phone, but you really don’t wanna test that out cause apparently a glass replacement for the back of the iPhone X costs about three times as much as the screen replacement, so do the math. The part of the smartphone that isn’t glass is made with surgical grade stainless steel which has been sealed for dust and water resistance. According to Apple the iphone X will be ...
