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....
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.
DISPLAY
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.
CAMERA
There is a dual camera set up on the rear of this device. A
12MP f/1.75, wide angle lens and a 13MP f/2.6 lens which offers 2x physical
zoom. 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. There is support for Qualcomm QuickCharge 4.0+
promising 85% of battery capacity in just 1 hour.

The Razer Phone bears an uncanny resemblance with the Nexbit
Robin (no surprises there). The sharp edges, block design might not be to
everyone’s taste but this device packs enough to make that a minor issue. 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.
Stay Frosty!
