Samsung Galaxy S Light Luxury now Official

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....

Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 plus Rumoured to appear at CES 2018


It appears that the Korean company may provide a sneak peek of the Samsung galaxy S9 and the S9 plus much earlier than expected. News coming from Venturebeat says that both marquee smartphones are going to make an appearance at the popular Consumer electronic trade show held yearly at Las Vegas.
Prior to this, Samsung had already announced that the Galaxy S9 and S9 plus would be fully introduced circa March 2018. So the cameo appearance at January's CES would mean the public would be getting a preview 2 months before the official intro.


If you've been following the previous Samsung releases you'd have noticed that Samsung rarely makes sneak peeks at CES, probably making this their first official smartphone preview at CES. Though at the moment Samsung has said it “does not comment on product rumours or speculations.”


However they choose to introduce the Galaxy S9 and S9 plus, speculations about the device specifications abounds. The Galaxy S9 plus for example has been rumoured to pack more RAM and dual cameras. It’s also expected to have a bigger display than the S9, same way the S8 and S8 plus differ in size.


There are also speculations that the Galaxy S9 and S9 plus are going to come with Snapdragon 845 processors (and an upcoming Exynos processor for some global models.), an Expandable memory and a 3.5mm headphone jack, the usual.

Ulefone Mix 2 Review and Specifications

 For the most of last year Chinese OEM’s have been releasing budget friendly versions of flagship devices, though unoriginal in design, they pretty much offer a lot of value for money. The Ulefone Mix 2 might bear a similar name to the Mi Mix 2, but the differences are glaring to see and its refreshing to see Ulefone use its own original design. UNBOXING The Ulefone Mix 2 comes with a very basic package. The phone sits atop the box and in the underlying compartment, there is a USB 2.0 cable, a ring holder, a screen protector and a basic user guide and warranty slip. There are no headphones included in the package. This sounds disappointing but for a sub $100 device, this is forgivable. There are no hardware navigational keys on the front of the display with the manufacturer opting for software keys instead. The power and volume rocker are on the right side of the Mix 2 and offer good enough tactile feedback. The 3.5mm jack is situated on top of the device whil...
