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 intuitive...

Coolpad Note 5 Lite first impressions:

Coolpad Note 5 Lite Launched in India | available on Amazon sales starting on Tomorrow

While the Indian smartphone market has several brands present from all across the globe offering 
various products in the budget segment, Chinese manufacturers have arguably dominated and enjoyed the most success in this category. One such brand is Coolpad, which catapulted to success last year with its Note 5 smartphone (first impressions). Now, the brand is back with a stripped-down version of the same device, dubbed the Coolpad Note 5 Lite, which retails at a lower price point. We had some time to check the smartphone out, and here are our first impressions of the same.
The Coolpad Note 5 Lite is built entirely out of metal and has a good in-hand feel. The smartphone comes with a 5-inch HD display which gives it a small footprint and makes the HD resolution display look sharp too. We didn’t face any issues with the display in the brief time we spent with the device. The colour reproduction was fine, the display got visibly bright and there was ample contrast present as well.
For performance, the Coolpad Note 5 Lite comes with a MediaTek MT6735 quad-core processor which has been clocked at 1GHz and paired with 3GB of RAM. While the smartphone performed well for the most part, we did face some minor stutters while flicking through the home screens. The phone sports an 8-megapixel front shooter with a dedicated selfie flash, along with a 13-megapixel primary snapper at the rear. The storage capacity on board is 16GB, which can be further increased up to 64GB by inserting a microSD card. There’s a fingerprint scanner too, placed at the back.
For software, the device runs Android Marshmallow with a layer of CoolUI on top. The smartphone sources its power from a 2,500mAh battery which should give users decent battery life considering it comes with an HD display and a low-power processor. However, you’ll have to wait for our full review for our final verdict on the Note 5 Lite’s battery life.
The Coolpad Note 5 Lite comes in two hues of black and gold and retails for Rs 8,199. It will be available exclusively on Amazon India starting March 21st..

The Galaxy S8's misplaced fingerprint scanner

The Galaxy S8's misplaced fingerprint scanner was probably a last-minute change By Sean   on  April 1, 2017 11:45 am TWEET Samsung Galaxy S8 Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales  Ask anyone to tell you where a smartphone's fingerprint reader should be and, though the answers will vary, you'll never be told "off center, right next to the camera lens on the back." But lo and behold, that's exactly where Samsung plopped  its  fingerprint scanner on the new ( and otherwise delightful ) Galaxy S8. It's a perplexing decision if we consider it as a deliberate design choice, but reports ahead of the S8's launch, which now seem validated by the device itself, suggest that it was a last-minute alteration enforced by the slower-than-desired development of more ambitious technology. A March 13th  report out of Korea  lays it all out lucidly. Samsung, working in collaboration with Synaptics, had initially hoped to build the fingerprint sensing te...
