The Huawei P10
and P10 Plus launched at Mobile World Congress in an unusual year, when
Huawei didn’t have Samsung to steal its thunder. That said, the
Leica-branded P10 still didn’t manage to be the star of the show –
although, really, what could beat the NOKIA 3310? – and its larger sibling didn’t raise too much excitement either.
........
At £679.99, the Huawei P10 Plus is priced right up there with the best, but doesn’t offer the waterproofing of the iPhone 7 plus nor the wireless charging of the Samsung Galaxy 7.
It also reuses the Huawei mate’s chipset, and while 6GB of RAM is great to see, that’s also available in the One Plus 3T at almost £300 cheaper.
Meanwhile, Huawei’s EMUI interface is better than it once was – but when it’s up against Google's stock Android in the Piwel X it can’t win on that front either.
Combine
this with some daft decisions – average sound quality; a confusing
home/soft key combo; and not releasing in the US; and it’s difficult to
recommend this phone. It’s not bad by any means, but it’s not the best
at anything either.
The first thing you’ll notice about the P10 Plus – other
than its size, which presumably you were expecting – is that it’s
surprisingly thin. At exactly 7mm, it’s 0.3mm slimmer than the iPhone 7
Plus, and you can bet your bottom dollar that was intentional.
The
P10 Plus resembles its Apple competitor more than a little, too, but
these days we’d be hard pressed to find a flagship that didn’t. It’s got
the classic all-metal unibody with rounded corners, and a dual-camera
setup on the back.
This
is embedded in its antenna bar at the top, with no camera bump
whatsoever: again, ner ner Apple. And of course, there’s a 3.5mm
headphone jack, because – well, you get the picture.
Helooo !!
Welcome with us and lest see the new Samsung Galaxy S8 :
Phones are stale. Whether it's an i phone 7 or Huawei p10
or any other flagship phone, they all look and feel the same. But just
when I thought a phone couldn't surprise and delight me any more, the
Samsung Galaxy S8 proved me wrong.
From the moment I picked up the S8 – and its larger, 6.2-inch sibling the Galxy s8+ .I realised it was even more special than I expected. On this
evidence, Samsung has surpassed anything we've seen before. There are
one or two concerns ahead of our full Galaxy S8 review, but right now
things are looking bright.

It’s a much subtler curve than on the
Galaxy S7 Edge, just like on the Note 7, and that makes it a lot easier
to use. There’s still a bit of extra reflection on this portion of the
screen, but it’s a small trade-off for such an eye-catching look.
Having
such a big display and tiny bezel means there’s no room for the
fingerprint-sensing Home button to sit on the front. Instead it’s on the
back, next to the camera. It's one of the few things I don't like – I
hit the camera multiple times when testing it out – but maybe I'll get
used to it.
thanks you for reading my blog and let`s see again!!!!!!!

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is over a year old and we're still a long way from the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Because of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7
recall, the Note 5 is now under our review microscope again. By
default, it's newest S-Pen-equipped Android phone you can buy, and now
the Note 5 price is a little more attractive. Here's how it does more
then 15 months later.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is a
large phone that's either a game changer or deal breaker for longtime
fans of the Android phablet, now that it has a premium look and feel.
Its
5.7-inch display, super-fast processor, improved camera and S Pen
stylus are joined by a new, glass-and-metal design that reflects the
solid construction of last year's Samsung Galaxy S6 and the newer Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge.
That makes it a huge leap over last year's Galaxy Note 4, which backed the phone in cheap, textured plastic. Samsung's build quality is finally fit to compete with the aluminum iPhone 6S Plus, Huawei Mate 8 and Nexus 6P.
All
of this comes at a cost, however. There's no microSD card slot for
expandable storage or removable battery to swap out, like on the Note 4,
LG G4 and the Samsung Galaxy S7, and the new sealed-shut glass design is slippery. This is far from the modular and upgradable Moto Z.
The
microSD card slot feature returns inside the Galaxy Note 7, however.
You may want the new version for that reason. Just don't expect it to
support adoptable storage (to offload apps on the microSD card) without
diving deep into the developer settings and tinkering around.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is still among the best phones in the US, but it isn't for everyone who can't grip a two-handed phone, or its compromises in the name of style.
and thanks you for this !!
During the early days of digital SLRs, Canon was pretty much the
undisputed leader in CMOS image sensor technology. Almost every new EOS
model came with an increase in resolution and high ISO range, and when
the EOS 7D
appeared in late 2009, the company had progressed from 3MP to 18MP, and
ISO 1600 to ISO 12800, in just over nine years. But since then Canon's
APS-C cameras have all sported variants on the same basic sensor design,
to the extent that you could be forgiven for wondering what on earth
their engineers were doing all day. Now we know.
The EOS 70D is a mid-range SLR for enthusiast photographers that from
the outside looks like a sensible, indeed desirable upgrade to the EOS 60D. It borrows many of the best bits from Canon's existing SLRs, including the autofocus sensor from the EOS 7D, the fully articulated touchscreen from the EOS 700D (Rebel T5i), and built-in Wi-Fi from the EOS 6D.
But on the inside it sports an entirely new sensor that is,
potentially, revolutionary. It offers 20.2MP resolution, but uses a
'Dual Pixel CMOS AF' design in which every single pixel is split into
two separately-readable photodiodes, facing left and right. This means
that in principle they are all capable of phase detection autofocus in
live view and movie mode.
On-chip phase detection is nothing new - we first saw it in the Fujifilm F300EXR
back in 2010. Since then it's been adopted in one form or another by
most manufacturers, with arguably its most successful implementation
coming in Nikon's 1 System mirrorless models.
But because until now it's used relatively few active pixels scattered
sparsely across the sensor, it's had practical limitations, often only
covering a restricted area of the frame and struggling once the light
drops below outdoor daylight levels. Canon says that its Dual Pixel AF
system, in contrast, works across an area 80% of the frame width and
height, in light levels as low as 0 EV, and at apertures down to F11.
This means it could well be the most capable live view autofocus system
we've yet seen on any type of camera.
We'll look at the technology behind the EOS 70D's live view AF in
more detail later, but let's not forget that it has to work as a
conventional SLR too. To this end it uses the same 19-point AF sensor as
the EOS 7D
for viewfinder shooting, but with slightly simplified control options
in firmware. It can rattle shots off at 7fps for up to 65 frames in JPEG
or 16 in Raw, and its standard ISO range covers 100-12800, with ISO
25600 as an expanded option. Image processing is via the DIGIC 5+
processor first seen in the EOS 5D Mark III.
In terms of control layout the EOS 70D is a logical evolution of the EOS 60D,
adopting many of Canon's intervening updates and improvements. So it
offers a full set of external controls to operate most key functions,
and Canon's well-designed Quick Control screen to cover pretty much
everything else. It also adopts the superb touchscreen interface that
debuted on the EOS 650D
(Rebel T4i), which we've found to be more useful than you might at
first think. The 70D also regains an array of features that disappeared
between the EOS 50D and 60D, such as AF microadjustment.

Samsung has released the Android
7.0 Nougat update and it should start rolling out to devices soon. We've
seen unlocked phones already pick up the updates, and carrier locked
phones are sure to be next. We'll update our review with impressions
when we get the chance to play with the final build.
To use a tired cliche, Samsung has had a year of two halves. After the release of both the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, things were looking strong. It had a phone that was better than the HTC 10, better than the Huawei P9 and it’s still better than the iPhone 7.
But then the exploding Galaxy Note 7 landed and Samsung took a bit of a hit. Is it enough to make you think twice about buying a Samsung device?
In a word, no. The Galaxy S7 is still the best phone we’ve reviewed this year. Maybe the Google Pixel phone will have something to say about that though?
After the massive, and much needed, change in design direction Samsung took with the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge in 2015, all rumours pointed to things staying pretty much the same for the Galaxy S7.
Well, it’s not like Apple, HTC or Sony make drastic changes to their industrial design every year.
And
that’s exactly the case here. Place the Galaxy S7 next to the S6 and
you’d be hard pushed to instantly pick which one is which. Frankly, this
doesn’t bother me in the slightest. The S6 was already one of the
best-looking phones around, and the Galaxy S7 follows suit.
Both
the front and back are covered in Gorilla Glass 4, while a metal rim
snakes in between. Two volume buttons sit on one side, with a
lock/standby switch on the other. It’s a clean look, with the back free
from any markings aside from a Samsung logo.
The camera lens now
sits just about flush with the glass body too. This might seem a small
change, but it makes a big difference. I can now tap out an email with
the phone flat on my desk without it jumping and rocking from side to
side Read more at http://www.trustedreviews.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-review#BxvqpmXcuUGwsKT4.99
