iPhone 7 has just been through a waterproof test. After being put under the water for about 5 minutes, this waterproof iPhone 7 still works well as usual. 

Waterproof iPhone 7: dunked under 10-meter of water

This year, Apple removed the 3.5mm head jack. At the same time, this company added many cool and interesting features to this phone. Waterproof feature is one of them. With IP67 certification, this phone is said to be able to handle under the water for about 30 minutes. So, let’s see how well this waterproof iPhone 7 handle in the water. Will it still work after dunked in the water?

A Youtuber -Callux- has just done two tests with this phone. First is the waterproof test. In this test, iPhone 7 and Galaxy S7 with the IP68 certification are put under the water with the depth of 35 feet (~10.67 meters) for about 5 minutes. The result is quite surprising. While S7 is totally stopped working, waterproof iPhone 7 still functioned. Of course, this Apple phone still had some damage on the screen.

The second test is about the durance of the phone. With this test, Callux dropped the waterproof iPhone 7 from a helicopter. After being dropped from that height, iPhone 7 still works as normal. Callux can still call and record video. The damaged part of the phone is the screen. It is broken down. There were also some scratches on the body.

Waterproof iPhone 7: one of the most durable devices

With these two tests, iPhone 7, as well as iPhone 7 Plus, is one of the most durable devices in the market. With IP67, this phone can survive better than Galaxy S7 with IP 68. So,  iPhone 7 not only surpasses S7 in the processor benchmark Geekbench but also beats it with the water test. If you accidentally drop your iPhone 7, don’t worry because it still functions as normal.

Today we’ll show you the “7 battle”: Apple iPhone 7 vs Galaxy S7 Edge. Galaxy S7 Edge comes with many innovative features. Meanwhile, the iPhone 7 got impressive benchmark scores and become the King of Antutu. 

 Apple iPhone 7 vs Galaxy S7 Edge: performance + design

Generally, both phones become the most powerful devices in their own ways. Samsung Galaxy S7 is powered by an Octa-core Exynos 8890 processor. The phone also has another version with Quad-core Qualcomm SnapDragon 820. Both of them are powerful processors. However, we pick the Exynos version in this comparison because it is more popular than the SnapDragon version. Talking about iPhone 7, it is now working on Apple home-made chipset: a quad-core Apple A10 Fusion.  Besides, Apple iPhone 7 features 2GB RAM while that is 4GB RAM on Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

So you might think that Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is definitely the stronger phone, when it has double RAM and double cores. However, the true will make you surprised. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge got 128, 191 Antutu scores. Meanwhile, iPhone 7 got 178,397 scores which are 40% higher than Galaxy S7 Edge’s. With this impressive result, iPhone 7 even becomes the King of Antutu at present. The quad-core CPU on the iPhone 7 also uses less power than the octa-core on Galaxy S7 Edge. So, with a smaller RAM and fewer cores, Apple iPhone 7 is still the winner in the performance battle.

In terms of the design, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge gets the higher evaluation than its counterpart. It is designed with a dual-curved screen. This year, iPhone 7 make users feel a bit..disappointed when it isn’t too different from the iPhone 6. Although Apple adds two new Jet Black and Matte Black colour version, that’s not enough when thinking it is the latest Apple iPhone. However, iPhone 7 is  half a millimetre thinner than the S7 Edge. It is also lighter (4.87 ounces), compared to Galaxy S7 Edge’s (5.54 ounces). Nonetheless, if you are finding the best look phone, Galaxy S7 Edge seems to be the better choice. Besides the nicer design, the S7 Edge also comes with the bigger battery than the iPhone 7 (3600 mAh vs 2900 maH).

 Apple iPhone 7 vs Galaxy S7 Edge: The price

About Apple iPhone 7 price, the 128GB version cost $729. With the same onboard storage of 128GB, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge price is slightly higher, at $747. So, Apple iPhone 7 come to this battle with stronger performance, the thinner and lighter body. On the other hand, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge gets better design along with a bigger battery. So, did you find your winner?

Samsung is now trying to solve all the problem, after the Note 7 scandal. There are a lot of rumours about the reason behind Note 7 exploding, but the exact reason has just been unveiled by the company

The reason causes Samsung Note 7 exploding

Samsung Note 7 exploding: As the recent statement, there are above 35 incidents in which Galaxy Note 7 catches on fire. Samsung is recalling 1 million of Galaxy Note 7 on around the world. Alongside, the company is in the process to refund and exchange for those phones sold out. Recently, Samsung has just made an investigation to find the reason behind Galaxy Note 7 problem.

As the result of the investigation, the Note 7 issue comes from the battery. To be more specific, the mistake in manufacturing process led to the anode (+) came into contact with the cathode (-). Honestly, that’s not good at all. That causes the overheating of the battery and thus, makes the Note 7 burst into flames.

Samsung also confirmed this is just the battery issue and there is nothing to do with the rest of the phone. Additionally, the company also said that the problem doesn’t affect other Samsung devices because each smartphone has different manufacturing process and design.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7: Responsibility?

The reason behind the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 exploding is determined to come from the battery. However, Samsung hasn’t taken the responsibility for all the entire mess Note 7 caused. ” In order to meet market demands, we are working with multiple suppliers,” Samsung said. The company stated that Note 7 battery’s fault might come from some suppliers. Anyway, Samsung has a mistake in the incident, when to skip testing process for the battery. With this scandal, the Korean giant is facing many problems. Apart from getting a huge loss, the company’s reputation will be affected for sure. Hopefully, this is a worthy lesson for any smartphone manufacturers.

 

After being leaked on both GFXBench, Galaxy A8 2016 continues to be spotted on Antutu. Compared to those two benchmarks, A8 2016 on Antutu seems to sport 64GB of inbuilt storage, not 32GB.

Now, this phone is spotted on Antutu as well, with the code name of SM-A810F. Compared to the specs on GFXBench, Galaxy A8 2016 specs on Antutu are quite different.

Meanwhile, Zauba (an Indian company) said that the phone would feature a 5.7-inch display with the resolution of 1920 x 1080px from the sample they got.

Samsung Galaxy S8 specs: 4GB RAM, 5.5-inch 4K display

Batteries are among the most concerned parts of any smartphones. With our tips below, you don’t need to worry about your Samsung device quickly running out of battery. Read the post below to know how to minimize Samsung phone battery usage.

Samsung phone battery usage: use dark wallpapers

The first thing you should do to minimize battery usage is to turn off all the unnecessary connections. This is one of the most common ways for saving battery life. If you don’t turn them off, those connections still secretly connect to other external devices. The second tip is to adjust the screen timeout. Just adjust the screen timeout down to 15 seconds to turn off the screen when not in use, to save some battery.

Thirdly, choosing dark wallpapers can help you a lot in minimizing battery usage. Most Samsung devices are equipped with Super AMOLED screen. So, with this kind of screen, the dark images will completely be hidden, and this will help you save quite a lot of battery. The fourth tip is flight mode. This mode will help you save a lot of battery life. At the same time, you won’t be bothered on your day off.

Also, you should kill all the apps running in the background. When you turn off an app or a game, your phone still runs this app/game in the background. This will consume the battery a lot. So, all you need to do is press the navigation button on the left to know which app is running. Then, choose the delete icon to completely turn them off.
