Samsung and LG Confirms Bendy Smartphones in 2016

Samsung and LG Confirms Bendy Smartphones in 2016

Samsung and LG both have smartphones that employ curved glass technology, while Samsung has gone a step further with devices sporting actual folding glass. However, in the development stage glass that can be rolled, folded, bent and twisted is in development. Both LG and Samsung have said 2016 could be the date that the first devices with this technology come to the market.

The South Korean companies stated this fact back in 2014, saying 2015 will be a key year in the development of the tech, with 2016 reaping the rewards of those breakthroughs with actual devices. It is nice to see that time frame reaffirmed six months on, at leasing according to Business Korea; the outlet claiming representatives of both LG and Samsung confirmed as much.

It seems the technology is on track for the timeframe the companies, but both seem to be taking different avenues. LG is working on transparent screens, the sort of technology we see on heads up displays in cars, although the company says a workable product could be some way off. Samsung on the other hand is working on foldable screen that it says is closer to production, with the first products due to land in 2016.

It's worth mentioning that these are not the only companies working on this kind of tech, but are merely the most open about their progress.

Huawei honor 4x reviews

We all know that Huawei is known for making some cheap phones, cheap as in aggressively affordable that is. One of them in particularly, the Huawei Honor 4X, was present in the company’s showroom floor during CES 2015 – so we thought it’d be great to check it out. What’s notable about this smartphone is its inexpensive price point, which is available for $130 (1GB) and $160 (2GB).

Huawei honor 4x reviews

Look and feel

Huawei hasn't done much different with the design of the Honor 4X except for adding a textured pattern on the rear cover that looks distinct. Otherwise, it is quite a standard candybar-shaped Android smartphone. The Honor 4X is an undoubtedly chunky device at 8.7mm and 165g but it feels more compact than the similarly-sized Yu Yureka thanks to its small screen bezels. That said, the Honor 4X is still a pretty large phone and using it with one hand won't be very easy. Only a white colour variant of the phone is available in India.

The power button and the volume rocker are on the right edge of the phone. For some reason the power button is black and the volume rocker is white. This colour distinction doesn't make sense because most people feel for these buttons more often than they look for them.

Display

The Honor 4X doesn’t skimp out when it comes to the size of its display, which is a sizable 5.5-inch 720 x 1280 IPS display. To our own surprise, it’s detailed and exhibits many favorable qualities to make it stand out – instead of being forgettable, much like the junk we see in some other entry-level smartphones. Details are sharp, plus, its color reproduction favors a neutral tone. Best of all, it seems to produce a potent brightness too – allowing our eyes to make out the display in bright conditions.

Processor and Memory

In keeping its cost very low, the handset is powered by Huawei’s very own 64-bit based 1.2GHz octa-core Kirin 620 processor with either 1GB or 2GB of RAM (depending on the model). Basic tasks, of course, all run pretty smoothly with little hiccups to its performance. Still, we’re curious to see how it handles more intensive operations, such as gaming, before we can soundly pass judgment regarding its overall performance.

Camera

Somewhat of a strange revelation, Huawei has opted to outfit the Honor 4X with a 13-megapixel rear camera – while the front one is a 5-megapixel snapper. That’s a surprise, naturally, since this device isn’t spec’d to be anything more than an entry-level offering. Nevertheless, we’ll take the higher-than-normal camera here with the Huawei Honor 4X, but we seriously hope that it can actually take some decent looking snapshots.

Expectations

Even though the Honor 4X is only available in China, it’s impressively cheap for a phone with its screen size and specs. Specifically, the 1GB and 2GB models sell for $130 and $160 respectively, which make them great replacement devices if you’re strapped for cash. Additionally, the smartphone is also a dual-SIMed device – so that really helps to deepen its overall value.

Samsung Galaxy S6 features and review

The Galaxy S6 is has been launched at MWC 2015 - and it looks really rather special. It's joined by the Galaxy S6 Edge: a curved screen variant of the phone which won't be sold in at that great a volume. Think Samsung Galaxy Note Edge to the Galaxy Note 4.

But enough about the others - how good is the new Galaxy S6? The short answer is: very good indeed.

We know why you're here though: you want to know everything there is to know about this new phone.

Samsung Galaxy S6 features and review

Design

We've been criticizing Samsung a long time for its uninspiring, all-plastic, cheap-looking devices, and that chant reached a crescendo in the Galaxy S5, where the company ignored all hopes and pleas for a more refined style, and stubbornly released the S5 with the same plastic design. With ailing financials, though, and a series of well-made, metal devices, Samsung might finally make a change and bring an entirely new style for the Galaxy S6. We've seen the leaked images that confirm a metal frame will indeed be present on the Galaxy S6, but the back seems to be made out of glass, with a protruding camera right in the center. Now we have seen multiple leaked schematics and all agree on the actual dimensions of the phone, so we know what the physical footprint of the Galaxy S6 will be like.

Screen

Samsung has stuck stick with the excellent Super AMOLED displays we've seen from the company for quite a while on the Galaxy S6. But this time things have become a lot more awesome: much like the Galaxy Note 4, the Galaxy S6 comes with a 2560 x 1440 pixel QHD resolution. It's a really clear and crisp display - although questions have to be asked over whether it will hurt the battery too much, especially as that power pack is actually a bit lower in capacity than in years gone by.

Battery

Here's what's worrying about the battery in the Samsung Galaxy S6; it's only 2550mAh, compared to the 2800mAh of the phone from last year. This means that either: Samsung was able to make the chipset, screen and operating system more efficient and could therefore get away with a smaller battery, or it realized that it HAD to make an amazingly designed phone, otherwise it would lose more ground in the high end smartphone game.

Camera

Samsung has made the camera one of the key features on this new phone, and has stuck a 16MP sensor on there - but massively overhauled it from last year. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and S6 have identical snappers, with the South Korean brand looking to keep them as similar as possible - it's just the screen that's the differentiator. Let's get into the specs here: the rear camera has a 16MP sensor, with an aperture of f1.9 - this thing is going to be excellent for low light, and an improvement of 34% over the Galaxy S5. It still has the same Auto HDR mode as before, and will show how the pic will look in HDR mode before you take it - plus smart Optical Image Stabilization will keep the shake away.

The front facing camera has been upgraded too, with the same low light performance (which is a big jump from last year's model - plus the ability to balance the white levels using infra-red.

Operating system

While Samsung is cooking up its own Tizen operating system, the Galaxy S6 sticks with Android, and obviously Lollipop since that's the latest version. That's the good news, though the fact that it's still overlaid with Samsung's TouchWiz UI may not be met with much enthusiasm. There's good news there too though, as Samsung has slimmed down the UI quite a lot, taking out a lot of the annoying pop up menus and streamlining the apps to have fewer options littered around everywhere. It does still have the same look and feel though, despite flatter icons, so if you weren't a fan before this 'overhaul' isn't likely to change your mind too much.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs Google Nexus 6

ANDROID FANS in the market for a phablet are currently spoilt for choice, but the Nexus 6 and Galaxy Note 4 stand out as the most notable contenders vying for buyers' attention this Christmas.

Samsung's Galaxy Note range has long held a reputation for being among the biggest smartphones on the market, and often the go-to phablet for many, but Google's Nexus 6, with its 6in screen and large dimensions, makes the Galaxy Note 4 look almost petite.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs Google Nexus 6

Design

The Nexus 6 and the Note 4 belong to the 2014-2015 generation smartphones with a metal frame. The main weakness of Android phones’ has long been the choice of designs and materials, aside from the HTC One (M8) and the Sony devices since the Xperia Z. This is of course subjective, but I feel that Android phones are really getting nicer this year. The Note 4 and the Nexus 6 were able to squeeze out of the ugly mold and are both quite elegant.

The Nexus 6 was crafted in the image of the Moto X (2014), aside from it being bigger and including a few changes: the volume and power buttons have been moved down, the same goes for the camera and the flash, though they remain in the middle of the device. The Galaxy Note 4 has a plastic backing with an aluminum frame, and has the same physical Samsung buttons that we’ve become accustomed to.

One point in which the Nexus 6 is better than the Note 4 is that the Google phone is water-resistant, while the Note 4 is not. What it lacks in water resistance though, it make up with the included S Pen stylus which fits snuggly into the chassis.

Display

Much like in the design department, the Nexus 6 and Galaxy Note 4 are fairly evenly matched when it comes to displays, sporting 6in 1440x2560 Amoled and 5.7in 1440x2560 Amoled screens respectively.

Given its smaller screen size, the Galaxy Note 4 has the higher pixel density, which comes in at 515ppi compared with the Nexus 6's 493ppi.

However, in terms of quality, it's hard to judge a winner between the two. Both offer great brightness, sharpness levels and viewing angles, but we did notice that both suffer from slight color distortion probably owing to the Amoled technology.

Getting one up on the Nexus 6, the Galaxy Note 4 has the added bonus of stylus input, allowing users to doodle and make notes on the display.

Thanks to this, and the fact that the Nexus 6 is extremely difficult to use with one hand, the Galaxy Note 4 wins another round.

Performance

Both devices come with top notch processors and stunning QHD displays. However just like the LG G3, such a demanding screen often has an effect on the overall smoothness of a phone's performance, especially when playing HD games. This was noticed when playing games on both either device. However, for the most part, everything ran impeccably for either device, apps opened right away, animations were crisp and what can be observed are two of the best performing smartphones around. There was no clear winner in this section.

Software

As previously mentioned, the Nexus 6 runs a stock version of Lollipop, while the Galaxy Note 4 runs Android 4.4.4 KitKat overlaid with Samsung's TouchWiz skin.

Samsung has hinted that the Galaxy Note 4 will be updated to Lollipop, but has yet to say when.

This means that the Nexus 6 comes with all the latest features Google has to offer, including the new Material design which has a cleaner look and smoother animations and is a huge improvement on KitKat.

There are also other features such as improved multitasking, enhanced security and a battery saving mode.

The Galaxy Note 4, on the other hand, comes with the TouchWiz interface, which has a reputation for being one of the heaviest Android skins.

This rings true on the Note 4, which is stuffed full of custom features, such as a Flipboard homescreen overlay, a bunch of Samsung's own apps and a handful of apps that you're not likely to look at, including Pizza.de and HRS Hotels.

Camera

The Nexus 6 was finally able to break away from the poor camera quality that plagued previous Nexus phones and does a standup job with its 13MP back shooter. Motorola also included the optical image stabilizer. The benefits of this technology could be seen in the results: images taken in low light situations turned out great and offer little noise. The Galaxy Note 4 on the other hand has a higher resolution rear camera of 16 MP, in addition to an ISOCELL sensor, an optical image stabilizer and a long list of shooting modes.

It's also interesting to note that that either device was treated differently in terms of front camera resolution. The Nexus 6 only comes with 2 MP on the front, while the Note 4 has 3.7 MP. Samsung clearly understood that the current selfie trend in adopting a better camera on the front. They also included a neat feature which allows users to use the back facing camera to take selfies which uses the heart rate monitor as a sensor.

Battery

The Nexus 6 and Galaxy Note 4 both pack 3,220mAh batteries. Google and Samsung quote up to 24 and 20 hours of talk time respectively.

Despite Google's claims, we found that the Galaxy Note 4 managed to outlive the Nexus 6 during our battery burn tests. The Nexus 6 lasted eight hours, while the Galaxy Note 4 managed nine hours.

For those not watching video 24 hours a day, we found both smartphones easily offered a full day of use, and on average made it into a second day without any problems.

Both come with quick charge modes onboard. Samsung's custom Fast Charging feature enables the Note 4 to be charged from zero to 50 percent in 30 minutes, while Motorola's Turbo Charger juices the Nexus 6 with six hours of battery life in just 15 minutes.

Storage

The Nexus 6 is available in 32GB and 64GB capacities, with no room to expand via microSD.

The Galaxy Note 4, on the other hand, comes in a 32GB variant only, but with an onboard microSD offering an extra 128GB.

Overall winner: Galaxy Note 4

There's barely a whisker in it, but the Galaxy Note 4 trumped the Nexus 6 in four out of seven categories.

Google's latest smartphone would be an obvious choice for those after a stock Android 5.0 Lollipop experience, but we found the Galaxy Note 4 more manageable owing to its smaller screen size and dimensions.

It also came out top when it comes to battery life and storage, offering the option to expand the 32GB internal memory via microSD.

Google Nexus 6 Review and Features

Google Nexus 6 is a supersized version of the new Moto X that has been given a two-handed booster shot and appropriately received a post-surgery Lollipop. The results? It's among the best phones to date.

This phablet-sized smartphone is the first to run Android 5.0 Lollipop and, really, there's no better way to experience all of the changes Google has made to its operating system.

It parades the colorful new Material Design interface on a massive 6-inch display, moves seamlessly between apps thanks to the latest Snapdragon processor and 3GB of RAM, and lasts all day in most cases with a Qi-chargeable 3220 mAh battery.

These Nexus 6 specs are enough to edge-to-edge out Apple's mighty iPhone 6 Plus. It feels better to hold in my hand, and typing is easier thanks to Androids always-superior keyboards options.
