1. Huawei Honor Note 8

Android OS is now dominating the smartphone world. Some smartphone brands even create their own operating systems based on Android. And here are our top best OS. 

1. Cyanogen OS

Cyanogen is a familiar name in the “best OS based on Android” market. The first device which this OS was installed is OnePlus One (the first generation of the company). And now, Cyanogen has become more popular. You can see this OS on YU smartphones (a subsidy of Micromax brand).

This OS allow you to customize everything on OS, from themes, controls to camera interface, gallery, etc. The company is trying to take off Google services from their OS. They’ve made an agreement with Microsoft to use their services (Outlook, Cortana) instead of Google’s (Gmail, Google Now).

Along with Galaxy Note 7, Stylus Pen is an accessory you can’t help having your eyes on. Besides the dust + waterproof feature, Note 7’s S Pen also has so many interesting functions. 

Stylus Pen: a PC mouse

The first and obvious function of Stylus Pen is that you can easily write and draw. It is so much easier for you to write a note with a pen than typing. You can freely to do whatever you want, even doodle around. Secondly, you can use S Pen like a PC mouse. Everything is more convenient when you’re on a website. You can use the Stylus Pen and hover over the drop-down menu to make it pop out. Or you can highlight the text or content.

The third function is quick screenshots. If you’re tired of going through many steps just to share screenshots with your friends, you’ll be happy with  the Stylus Pen. All you need to do is pick the mode from the S Pen’s pop-up Air menu. And then, you just need to draw the part you want to share and send it right away. Also, S Pen can translate any language immediately. Just choose the Translate mode and hover the pen over the word you want to translate.

Furthermore, Stylus Pen can be used as a magnifying glass. This pen will help you have a clear look with the ability to zoom in up to 300%. Just hover the pen over the content you want to zoom. And everything will be big and clear for you. Now, you don’t have to worry about staring at the tiny lines on the mobile websites which can not be zoomed.

With Stylus Pen: making GIFs is easier than ever

Last but not least, you can create GIFs from a video in just a few minutes. You can choose any part of the video and export it into a GIF. With Smart Select mode, creating GIFs is easier than ever. However, there is one thing you need to notice. It’s about the time recording. You can only record up to 15 seconds.

The latest Samsung flagship came to global market and offered 4GB RAM in tow. But you could see the bigger 6GB RAM Samsung Note 7 soon. Whether 6GB Note 7 can replace 4GB Note 7? Let’s see!

6GB RAM Samsung Note 7 revealed in Chinese market

Before making a debut, Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is expected to sport 6GB RAM on board. However, Samsung  has launched this phone with just 4GB RAM version. Almost users feel a bit …disappointed. However, the recent reports point that 6GB RAM Note 7 is coming soon. As you know, this Samsung flagship is still getting a huge success with 4GB version. So, what is Samsung purpose for this higher 6GB RAM Samsung Note 7?

The premium version of Note 7 reportedly comes to Chinese market before appearing in the global market. From a benchmark result leaked on Geekbench and a Chinese Industry and Information Technology Ministry, new Note 7 model revealed 6GB RAM and 128GB Rom. This is an exchanged strategy of Samsung when a 128GB Note 5 was launched in South Korea last year.

There is not clearly explanation for why Samsung want to launch a new 6GB RAM Samsung Note 7 in China. Actually, the bigger 6GB RAM version might not make Galaxy Note 7 more powerful than it is presenting with 4GB RAM. Perhaps the company believes that Chinese users would be happy with  a huge RAM. After all, the combination of 6GB RAM+128GB ROM is more and more popular, especially, in China market. We have some famous names as OnePlus 3, LeEco Le Max 2, and Vivo XPlay 5 Elite with 6GB RAM on board. So Samsung need to push Note 7 up to 6GB RAM to keep up with that trend!

6GB RAM Samsung Note 7 price and availability

Of course, we could see the 6GB RAM Samsung Galaxy Note 7 this year, but it takes a time and a least not now. The company might renew this phone later this year.  We still have to wait for an official confirmation. Next, many people wondering how much the new Note 7 model cost. Well, with bigger 6GB RAM, Samsung Saung Note 7 price is definitely more expensive than a basic version. It could be dropped at around $990. With bigger RAM as well as higger price, do you think 6GB RAM Note 7 can undermine 4GB RAM Note 7?

Samsung just launched its new handset with so many powerful features, including Galaxy Note 7 iris scanner. Do you want to know how it works?

Galaxy Note 7 iris scanner: password replacement

Since iris scanner technology has been assembled into Samsung Galaxy Note 7, the purchasers are asking how does this work? Is it harmful to human pupil? is it fast and as secure as other secure method? Such technology is already used on Lumia 950 series, but Windows phones are less popular thus this feature was not widely discussed. Iris scanner seems to be supported with a long-term plan by Samsung. The company’s president just revealed some of their plans at Unpacked event in New York, which mentioned not only Galaxy Note 7 iris scanner but also another device specifically Galaxy Tab Iris.

People who are wonder how secure the new iris sensor has now do not have to worry anymore. It is because Samsung unveiled that the company invested over three years in its development to give the most secure iris scanning out of all biometric systems. Furthermore, the Korean company are suggesting to banking system for transaction authorization with this new tech. It is such an useful feature! Let’s see how it can make it through!

Galaxy Note 7 iris scanner works fast thanks to IR LED, which accompanies with the selfie snapper. The IR LED allows the scanner to capture your eyeballs. There is also an infrared light that helps the scanner works in low light conditions. The only way to use it is looking at the screen. The phone is supposed to read both of your eyes, but only one is scanned. Then the scanned image is encrypted within security. Galaxy Note 7 iris scanner received the highest International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 62471 certification level, which means it is safe for your eyes.

Galaxy Note 7 iris scanner: is it risky ?

Samsung said that it has taken all necessary precautions since the IR LED will not work in close proximity or long exposure to the eyes. But have they tested whether whether someone else, not the owners’ iris can unlock the phone or not? It is still a newbie here in the tech world, it is time to figure everything out.

Octa-core smartphones are very strong devices. However, quad-core smartphones are also very strong. Many flagships from big brands have this features.

One of the best quad-core smartphones is the newest product from Samsung- Galaxy Note 7. This phablet is the combination of best technology and beautiful design.

Besides that, Galaxy Note 7 design is a perfect combination of it, predecessor – Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S7 Edge, which was launched earlier this year. There are curve sides on the back and the front of Samsung Note 7, which are more sharper and less sloping than S7 Edge. This curved screen may start a new trend in technology world.

Secondly, the updated S Pen should not be neglected. Samsung has been so successful at producing water resistant smartphones since earlier this year. But now Samsung has another big step with its water resistant feature, its S Pen is smaller and resistant to water and dust, even when the Pen is taken out, the phone does not absorb water. Thus, you can use both S Pen and Samsung Note 7 in the swimming pool or under the rain.

Today one of the most awaited smartphone is launched marking a new trend in the mobile world. It is Samsung Galaxy Note 7, which is believed to be the best selling smartphone in the future.

Samsung best selling smartphone, not just Note 7

According to some reports, Galaxy S7 Edge was Samsung best selling smartphone in the first half of 2016. The S7 Edge is currently the world’s most popular Android smartphone (different from top-selling phone) thanks to its curved display design along with Edge features, which are creative and convenient. Moreover, Galaxy S7 specs also include: 4GB RAM, SND 820, 12MP/5MP cameras. With such Galaxy S7 specs, it is unsurprisingly that Samsung shipped 13.3 million pieces of the Galaxy S7 Edge in H1 2016.

Samsung has gone the extra mile for their customers with Note 7 design as well as its features. Regarding Note 7, Samsung has done a killer job with the proper curves, water resistant stylus, iris scanner and many other features. In terms of Galaxy Note 7 specs, they are much like S7 Edge with 2 models of processor: Snapdragon 820 coupled with Adreno 530 for only USA and Exynos 8890 paired with Mali-T880 MP12 for global market. Along with this is 4GB RAM, 64GB ROM expandable up to 256GB, 12Mp/5MP cameras, 3500 mAh is Galaxy Note 7 battery.

It is not only because of its features or designs, but also thanks to affordability which bring the crown to Korean company, apparently. In fact, smatphones like Galaxy S7 Edge and Note 7 perform better than other expensive makers, even though other products may support higher capacity or resolution, which other manufacturers used to push up the price. For your interest, placed in the second position as the world’s second most popular Android smartphone with 13 million units was another Samsung-branded Galaxy J2. The third position belonged to Galaxy S7 with 11.8 million units during H1 2016. Unlike iPhone sales are declining, the global Android smartphone shipments increased by 5 percent from 552.2 million units in H1 2015.

Samsung best selling phone can be threatened by……..

Huawei, Oppo, and Vivo, they all are fast increasing their dominant products with so many good features in both quality and quantity. Samsung’s global smartphone shipments increased to 77.6 million from 71.9 million in Q2 2015, while Chinese smartphone maker, Oppo dramatically increased its sales from 7.6 million units to 18 million units at the same time. So can Note 7 keep winning the game?

For months, we waited for the Samsung flagship. Today is Samsung Galaxy Note 7 launch date with its strongest specs and dazzling design, which are said to start a new trend in smartphone world.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 launch: new curvy design and S Pen updates

Samsung continues applying curved screen on its smartphones as its signature. Similar to Galaxy S7 Edge, Galaxy Note 7 launch today is also a curved edge version. The difference between two type of curved edges is that Note 7 curves are more narrowly than the S7 Edge. The phone’s sides curve slightly and slope less in order for the users to efficiently operate with the S Pen. Despite tight curves, Galaxy Note 7 still flaunts a 5.7-inch 2K display which is slightly larger than the 5.5-inch of Edge device. Galaxy Note 7 is also the first smartphone in the world which supports Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

Alongside the Galaxy Note 7 is a stylus, just like other Note and Edge members. However, it is a smaller pen tip than the Note 5’s, which is supposed to make it more accurate and precise. It’s also twice as sensitive, with pressure levels is 4,096 higher than 2,048 in the Note 5. The most interesting change is such new stylus is also water and dust resistant just like the phone. So in case you need to send an email or message when you are in a bath tub or a swimming pool, just feel free to do it. You can use it when raindrops plop all over the screen as well.

Those are not all the new thing coming up with Galaxy Note 7 launch today, one more feature: iris scanner. With this kind of security, the disabled now can unlock their phones with just their eyeballs, which is easy and fast. More important, the iris scanner now appears to protect your apps which include your private photos, passport, banking information, not just only the phone. In terms of other Galaxy Note 7 specs, there are 2 models of processor: Snapdragon 820 coupled with Adreno 530 for only USA and Exynos 8890 paired with Mali-T880 MP12 for global market. Along with this is 4GB RAM, 64GB ROM expandable up to 256GB, 12Mp/5MP cameras, 3500 mAh is Galaxy Note 7 battery.

Last month, Qualcomm released SND 821 chipset which is 10% faster than its predecessor. Now, the company is about to launch a Snapdragon 830 chipset with an octa-core processor. It will be much more powerful than ever.

Snapdragon 830 with octa-core processor

Snapdragon 810 is the first chipset with octa cores of Qualcomm. This chipset is really strong. However, it makes many smartphones get into the heating issue. Xperia Z5 from Sony is a typical example. That’s the reason why the company released its SND 820 with quad cores. Despite having quad-core, SND 820 is still very powerful. And now, it seems like the US company decided to come back with octa cores with the newest chipset- Snapdragon 830.

Last month, Qualcomm released the latest chipset – SND 821. It’s the slight stronger version of SND 820. Now, this US firm wants to double the performance of the processor. Snapdragon 830 will come with an octa-core processor with 10nm on board. This new chipset will also support for 8GB RAM and 2K x 4K display and 2K x 4K video recording. This means that multimedia on phones will be so much better along with nice video recording.

So, with all the things that Snapdragon 830 boost the phone, this chipset is all what we’re waiting for. Not only that, Qualcomm seems to find a solution to deal with the overheating problem. So, this time, there will be no flagship smartphone has this problem .

Snapdragon 830: which phone will get it first?

A few months ago, Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was reported to be the first phone to feature this chipset. However, at the launch event today, Note 7 shows up with a SND 820 processor with 4GB of RAM. So, there are still 4 months until the end of 2016. Which one will have this powerful chipset from Qualcomm? Will it be Surface Phone from Microsoft or Galaxy S8 from Samsung? Well, all we can do is wait. Let’s stay tuned with us for more information!
