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.

Huawei subsidiary Honor launched its Honor 8 in the US last year, and now it’s bringing the successor to Europe. The Honor 8 Pro, known as the V9 in China, is a spec bump in pretty much everything you’d care about. Honor has added a 5.7-inch Quad HD display, alongside Huawei’s updated Kirin 960 octa-core processor, 6GB of RAM, and a large 4,000 mAh battery.
Only the camera remains the same as the Honor 8, with a 12-megapixel dual-camera system. One captures images in RGB color, and the other in monochrome. Honor’s software then processes both images to create a single photo with better detail. Other specs include a microSD slot, dual-SIM support, a fingerprint sensor at the rear, NFC, and USB-C charging. Essentially, the Honor 8 Pro is a slightly better (in terms of specifications) Huawei P10 at a much lower cost (around $590).
Honor has opted for rounded corners and a matte aluminum finish on the 8 Pro instead of a glass back, and it feels and looks a lot like the iPhone 7 Plus as a result. Even the footprint of the device is similar if you compare them side-by-side. It feels more comfortable to hold than the regular Honor 8, even with the larger display.

Honor’s also shipping the 8 Pro with Google’s latest Android Nougat release, and it’s optimizing the Android kernel with its EMUI 5.1 system to open apps quicker. AI algorithms will learn and understand what apps you open regularly and then optimize memory efficiently. Honor says it has 29 patent applications related to this technology, but we’ll have to test it fully to judge whether it actually works on a daily basis.
One of the more interesting parts of the Honor 8 Pro is its packaging. Honor has created a box for the 8 Pro that converts into a Google Cardboard viewer for VR. It’s a neat way to reuse something you’d typically store away or throw in the trash, and it’s a nice introduction to VR basics for all 8 Pro owners.
Unlike the Honor 8, the Pro model won’t be launching in the US. Honor only has plans to sell the 8 Pro across Europe right now, with preorders beginning today for £474.99 (549 euro). Amazon will start shipping the Honor 8 Pro on April 20th, and it will be available in platinum gold, midnight black, and navy blue.
Honor is also launching a beta program today to collect feedback on its software, just like Samsung, Microsoft, and OnePlus. The beta launches today in the US, and anyone interested can joinHonor's Facebook group to apply

Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge is still a great phone, and now great value thanks to the S8

Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge is still a great phone, and now great value thanks to the S8   SamsungGalaxy S7 Edge Photo In anticipation of Samsung’s shiny new Galaxy S8, I’ve gone back to using the smartphone it is replacing, the Galaxy S7 Edge, and what I’ve (re)discovered is a device still very much worthy of the flagship title. A year after its release, the S7 Edge remains one of the very best smartphones you can buy, and that’s only going to get better once its price gets dinged by the S8’s arrival this month. I really didn’t set out to re-review the S7 Edge; all I wanted was to remind myself what Samsung’s TouchWiz interface was like, so as to be able to best judge the company’s changes in the 2017 iteration. But then I started admiring the S7 Edge’s screen. And I got an appreciation for the battery life that comes from a class-leading 3,600mAh battery. By the time I’d taken a few decent photos with the camera, I was convinced sufficiently to swap my SIM card over from my ...
