10 THINGS WE LEARNED ABOUT THE TOTALLY SWEET NEW SAMSUNG GALAXY S8

10 THINGS WE LEARNED ABOUT THE TOTALLY SWEET NEW SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 Could this be the iPhone killer you've been waiting for? Samsung On April 21st,  Samsung  will unleash their Galaxy S8 and S8+ on the world but we were able to count ourselves among the lucky few who pocketed the phone a week early. Using the Galaxy S8 as our primary phone, we put it through the ringer and were damn impressed with what Samsung has accomplished this time around. Here are 10 standout features of Samsung’s Galaxy S8, and why it’s setting a new standard for cell phones. 1. There's No Home Button The main difference and first thing you’ll notice about the S8 is that it’s without a physical home button. The S8 isn’t the first phone to do away with the home button but it is the best implementation of a software-based alternative that we’ve seen so far. We didn’t miss the home button on the S8 because the virtual one Samsung has built into the screen is intuitively pla

Alleged Moto E4 with 4,000mAh battery

Alleged Moto E4 with 4,000mAh battery and 16GB storage clears FCC “The Moto E4 is expected to be launched in the US soon as it gets cleared by FCC” The first-gen Moto E budget smartphone was launched back in 2014. The 2nd-gen and 3rd-gen models of the phone were released in 2015 and 2016 respectively. The Moto E series has been quite successful for Lenovo in emerging markets like India. Now the company seems to be all set to launch the Moto E (2017) or Moto E4 soon. Ahead of an official announcement, a new Moto smartphone carrying the model number XT1723 has been cleared by the US Federal Communication Commission (FCC). The phone is expected to be the Moto E4. The listing reveals a device with a beefy 4,000mAh battery. The FCC listing also reveals that the alleged Moto E4 will feature 16GB of internal memory. This could be the base variant of the phone, and there will likely be a 32GB model on the offer as well. There’s no word when the brand is planning to launch the devic

Every Thing you need to Know about New "HTC U Ultra"

HTC U Ultra Review March 2013 doesn't seem like a long time ago. That's when the first  HTC One  launched, with its gorgeous metal body and oversized (for the time) 4.7-inch screen. Unfortunately, it was overshadowed by its competition and just didn't find as many buyers as it could have. Every year since then, we've had a new model with upgraded features but the same general identity - and the same fate. Four years is several lifetimes in smartphone terms, and  HTC  should have launched this year's model, rumoured to be called the  HTC 11 , by now. Instead, it has launched the  HTC U Ultra , and it's an entirely different kind of phone. Is this meant to indicate a change in direction for the once-dominant Taiwanese brand, or is it just a stopgap to keep momentum going until the true 2017 flagship is launched? Either way, HTC desperately needs a hit, and we're curious to see whether the U Ultra will be a breath of fresh air or just a novelty.
