Recently, Evan Blass – an expert, posted to his Twitter a very interesting news. Samsung is developing a new product code-named SM-N950. This just might be the Galaxy Note of the new generation called Galaxy S8.

Galaxy S8: a successor of the Galaxy S7

Previously, Samsung also has indirectly confirmed the existence of the Galaxy Note 8. When the customers in Korea returned their handsets, they would receive incentives to upgrade to Galaxy Note 8 later.  Also in the post, we spotted a code name SM-N950. If you are familiar with the way Samsung name their handset, you will know that it refers to the Note 8. This proves that the company is proceeding to implement their plan with the new flagship.

After the debut of the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge in 2015, Samsung continued to launch two versions of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge in 2016. Thus, there will be no surprise if they launch the S8 and S8 edge in the next year. As in the post, Even Blass also revealed about the two versions called Galaxy S8, that is SM – G950 (Galaxy S8) and SM – G955 (Galaxy Edge S8). Thus, Samsung will skip the model named SM-G94x and SM-N94x. To explain for this reason, it might be the spiritual factors because some Asian countries think that number 4 is not a lucky number. And as you can see, they had a hard year involving many explosion incidents.

According to some latest information, S8 and S8 Galaxy Edge will own a 5.8-inch screen and a 6.2 inch screen respectively. Thanks to  borderless technology, Galaxy S8 promises to feature an equal size as the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge today. With its large screen size, Samsung hopes to attract a large number of users from Galaxy Note7, which was dead last month.

Galaxy S8: still a secret

Until now, there’s no official information about the new smartphone of Samsung. However, that piece of news already succeeded to arouse their fan excitement. Don’t forget to follow our page for further information about it.

Samsung foldable phone doesn’t sound strange to us. We’ve heard about it so many times before but we haven’t known how it will look like. Now, we have a chance to see this handset. 

This is how Samsung foldable phone will be

Samsung is one of the smartphone giants in the market. This brand always brings the creative innovations to their product. They are the first brand to produce the first big phone (more than 5.0-inch) to the market. They are the first brand to equip Super AMOLED display into the products and the first one to release dual curved edge display handsets. Samsung also came up with the “crazy” idea of making the foldable phone in 2015.

We have been waiting for a long time to see this foldable device. Now, we have a chance to see this phone thanks to the patent application. Or what it looks like to be more specific. What makes this phone interesting is that is will be a flip phone when you fold it. However, the two parts of the device won’t be parallel. When the phone is not folded, it’s a huge display phone.

On the front of this foldable phone, you can easily see the signature of Samsung with the home button. The back button is one the right and the menu button is on the left. The ratio of the display is estimated to be about 21:9. This new device will come to the market under the name of Samsung Galaxy X.

Foldable phone: awaited device

Samsung is not the first brand to come up with a foldable phone project. LG or Lenovo used to introduce the similar one before. However, this Korean giant is the forerunner in smartphone technology. So, Samsung could be the one turning this idea into reality first. This phone could help Samsung gain back their sales after the loss from Galaxy Note 7. Just keep your eye on Samsung to see what they will bring us!. We’ll keep updating.

After Note 7, Galaxy S7 Edge, now another Samsung Galaxy phone exploded. This time, it happened in France. Galaxy J5 caught fire and its back fell off.  

Samsung Galaxy J5: caught fire in France

2016 is definitely not a good year for Samsung. The company has gotten into many explosion incidents this year, from washing machine to smartphones. The biggest scandal of this company is Note 7. There were a lot of exploding Note 7 incidents in the global market. This product continued to explode even after Samsung recalled and fixed them. This made the company have to recall all Note 7 for the second time.

Not so long after that, another flagship of this giant exploded- Galaxy S7 Edge. Now, another device of the brand exploded in France- Galaxy J5. On last Sunday, a woman in France reported that her Galaxy J5 exploded for nothing. There wasn’t any external cause for this explosion. And she bought this J5 on a website with a discounted price.

It happened when she told her little son gave the phone to her. She recognized that the handset was very hot and there was smoke. Like a reflex, she immediately threw it away. After that, the handset was on fire and the rear panel of the phone fell off. Fortunately, no one got hurt. This French woman said that she will sue Samsung for this.

Galaxy S8: the hope for Samsung

So, there was another Samsung smartphone explosion. This J5 case could be the rare case like Galaxy S7 Edge. No matter what, this incident will affect Samsung’s reputation. The company hasn’t taken back their customer’s faith since the Note 7 incidents and now they got involved in this Samsung Galaxy J5. Hopefully, with the “Note 7 exchange for S8” policy, Samsung will partly get back their customers. Galaxy S8 next year will be the safe masterpiece of this giant. Let’s wait and see what Samsung will bring us.

Carrying 4/6GB RAM, Galaxy S8 will flagship of Samsung in 2017. It is reported that Galaxy S8 display would be received a new size. Let’s read on & discover!

Adjustment to Samsung Galaxy S8 display: increase the size

At the beginning, Samsung aimed Galaxy Note 7 to be one of the smartphone flagship of the company in 2016.

Therefore, in order to attract back their customers, the company decided to put their emphasis on the upcoming phone Galaxy S8. Samsung is now preparing for the debut of Galaxy S8. Recently, the Galaxy S8 display would be changed to some extent.

As it is reported before, Samsung Galaxy S8 would come in two models: one sports a 5.1-inch display while the other mounts a 5.5-inch screen. Recently, there is a new hint that Samsung has decided to adjust the screen size of these two variants. According to this alleged information, the former would come with 5.7-inch size and the latter might carry 6.2-inch display. The reason why Samsung has come to this decision is supposed to lure Galaxy Note 7 customers. Based on current trend, many people is fond of large display.

In addition, it is also said that Samsung would only change display size without altering the physical size of Galaxy S8. This means Samsung Galaxy S8 display could be a bezel-less or even the home button will be kicked out of the frontal of the phone.

In terms of processor, the Galaxy S8 might be powered by SND 830 (or at least 821) chipset for the US market, and Exynos 8893 for the international model.

Battery life test 2016: iPhone 7 Plus wins it all

Battery is one of the most important parts of a smartphone. It is also one of the important roles affecting the decisions of users whether to buy a phone or not. That’s why many smartphone brands try to improve this feature in their products. A handset with a huge capacity doesn’t mean it is the best battery phone. A battery life test of Phonearena proved it.

Phonearena made a battery life test of all the flagships this year, 16 devices to be more specific. They adjust the screens of these handsets at the brightness of 200 nits. After that, they let them run on the same browser. They scored based on the screen-on use of those handsets. The phone having the best battery is iPhone 7 Plus with 9 hours and 5 minutes. Once again, Apple proves us that they know how to optimize the performance.

The next two posts are also Apple‘s phones: iPhone 7 and iPhone SE. Standing in the 4th and 5th place is S7 Edge and S7. Google Pixel XL and Pixel take the 6th and 7th spot. Next is LG V20 with 6 hours and 23 minutes. Sony Xperia XZ holds the 14th place with 6 hours and 41 minutes. OnePlus 3 is two- spot higher than LG with 5 hours and 53 minutes.

Battery life test 2016: Apple iPhone stands still

Last year- 2015, Phonearena also did the same battery test with all the 2015 flagships. The result is not different compared the 2016 test. Apple iPhone stands still in the number one position with Apple iPhone 6s Plus. So, once again, a big battery capacity doesn’t mean a good battery smartphone.

Recently, it is hinted that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8 would get a full-screen OLED display. Is it true or not? Let’s read on and discover!

Samsung Galaxy S8: rumor around the OLED display

After the Note 7 incidents. it seems that Samsung is being through a hardship. However, it does not mean that all the Samsung’s smartphones would have the same fate as the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. It is true that there are many other made-by Samsung devices that are well received by users. For example, Galaxy S7 Edge or S7. For now, Samsung is working hard on other projects to regain their reputation. One of those projects is the release of Galaxy S8. So far, we have already got the alleged of the Galaxy S8 specs as well as design. But, those information is not official yet.

There is a rumor that the S8’s display would get full-screen OLED display. We have doubted so because Samsung Display researcher stated in the International Meeting that a full-screen display would be launched next year and the display area ratio will reach more than 90%. In comparison to Galaxy S7 Edge, the difference in screen-to-body ratio would be 20%. As a result, Samsung would reduce the bezel in the top and bottom of previous phones. However, increasing the display area ratio result in a change of the sensor’s location. So may be, Samsung manufacturers would move the sensor to the back of the phone.

Samsung Galaxy S8 is hinted to mount a Super AMOLED 4K Ultra HD display that has either 5.1 inches or 5.5 inches. In addition, the phone would be packed with a SND 830 (or at least 821) chipset for the US market, and Exynos 8893 for the international model.
