Lenovo Moto Z

In its annual report World Tech Lenovo unveiled the next step in its mobile strategy. The new flagship Z Moto Lenovo sample itself accepts modular smartphones, which the search giant tries to prepare the ground for several years from. Then there is the Tango smartphone pioneer Phab2 Pro project, which is the brain runs on Google Lenovo brawn.The Z Moto holds the interest - not only for MotoMods modules, but also the heritage of the people continue Moto X in the spirit, if not the name.

Motorola style

By the sound of it, believes Lenovo that modularity is the most convenient way to make a phone. The Moto X has become known for the amount of the adjustment was the Moto Maker users, but the need for rapid delivery has this option on a limited number of markets and the phone never flew as high as its competitors is observed.

What the Moto Z provides the ability to further modules to buy, depend only on the back of the phone in the hands of two powerful magnets. These modules are as MotoMods.

The simplest modules StyleMods bent, allows you to back Add leather, wood or other high quality materials - they add no new features. They made the case in cooperation with the popular manufacturer Incipio.

Then there are the advanced MotoMods that do more than just look good - add the additional functionality to LG G5. A single module is obtained, but the advantage over the LG solution is that the modules externally and not parts of the phone are removed. You do not even have to restart a new action Moto Z module.System only 5.2 mm thick, making installation even after the addition of a few millimeters with a module that is still quite thin. Having said that, the first module, likely adapt maybe you want is not a battery, such as Moto Z itself only has a 2600mAh battery.

Samsung will release Galaxy Note 7 instead of Galaxy Note 6

The biggest company that made electronic devices is Samsung announce this week that they will release the new Galaxy Note 7 instead of Galaxy Note 6.

They name all their Flagship that release this year 2016 by number 7 include Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, and Galaxy Note 7 because this will let customers know that it is the new products.

Samsung confirmed that the Samsung Note 7 can easily compete with the iPhone 7 because name Note 6, some users who do not understand the smartphone market will think that Galaxy Note 6 is an older model . Additionally, Samsung will launch Galaxy Note 7 in early August, which means that  before the iPhone 7 a month.

the best way to test a new phone? I travel with him. If you look at the monuments and so far lost, there is no room to tolerate a bad camera or faulty software, life slowly or short battery. If an error occurs, you will find it.

So I tried Samsung Galaxy S7 in London and Berlin, while his colleagues also took a trip to San Francisco and Sydney. And you know what? You have done very well. Better than most. In fact, the S7 is an impressive phone that never stopped to be the only way to take pictures and surf in a completely unfamiliar area while living for long days go on battery maintenance under pressure.

Bottom-up: Galaxy S7 is the best all over the phone today. It surpasses the excellent Google Nexus 6P, 6S Apple iPhone, LG and HTC G5 10. In fact, the only phone that is greater than their own, is the largest, curved with a screen S7 border, the twin brother technically my first choice - - but only if you are willing to spend. Of course there are potentially worthy opponents on the horizon - The iPhone 7, 6. However, the following model Nexus and Galaxy Note, none of them is likely to be on the market in the coming months. So now the Galaxy S7 and S7 board is always best to make money can buy calls.

That's what I found (and other S7 tester) with S7 Europe. You can also scroll to the comparison table functions downwards.

Perfect for pockets, but smudgy as hell

I started my tests on bridges and busy streets of London, festooned bagpipes. I Mash S7 always in my jeans pockets and only to recover to navigate for a time control, photo, digital or payment available to its size fit for me is much better the largest phone. "Medium" by the standards of Bonkers day today, a screen.Throughout all this non-stop 5.1 in handling, S7 curve back and sides make it easy to hold, and the only time I was not a tooth or break. It was only a few feet above the ground in a pub, mind you - I'm sure he would suffer more damage if it had sounded on the pavement.

I had a good time watching S7. mentioned and other are very slightly rounded at the edges around the screen damn nice, the phone a luxury give increasingly rationalized This construction of the back curve I and appearance than most, as including the construction of the last Galaxy S6 of the year. In fact, look closely at the details and you can see that the S7 better built than the previous Galaxy phones.

to support a disadvantage shiny metal and glass S7 is that the dots are stacked on the stains to leave a semi-permanent gloss big fingers in their expensive property. It is rough, and a pain always clean, always fails anyway. But like any good-looking phone, you are obliged definitely a case, you give up, so it's almost a moot point - not just an excuse.

Sony Xperia Z5 Review

The Sony Xperia Z5 is the best smartphone from Sony release this year with a big camera that can shoot in 4k quality.

Key features

• 5.2" 16M-color 1080 x 1920 IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with X Reality for Mobile, Triluminos technology and Dynamic Contrast Enhancer; scratch-resistant glass, oleophobic coating
• Android OS v5.1.1 Lollipop with Xperia launcher
• Octa-core Qualcomm MSM8994 Snapdragon 810, feat. a quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 and quad-core 2 GHz Cortex-A57 and an Adreno 430 GPU and 3GB RAM
• 23 MP camera with 2160p@30fps video recording; 5.1 MP front-facing camera with 1080p@30fps video
• 32GB of built-in storage and a microSD card slot
• LTE Cat.4 (150Mbps)/Cat.6 (300Mbps), depending on the region; Dual-band Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac; A-GPS/GLONASS receiver, Bluetooth v4.1, FM radio with RDS
• Active noise cancellation with a dedicated mic
• 2,900mAh non-removable battery
• IP68 certified - dust and water proof up to 1.5 meter and 30 minutes
• Fingerprint sensor

Main disadvantages

• Screen bezels are wider than the Xperia Z3+
• Non-removable battery
• Heavier and thicker than the Xperia Z3+

It is quite obvious that specs-wise the Sony Xperia Z5 does not disappoint. The handset is powered by Qualcomm's top-of-the-line Qualcomm MSM8994 Snapdragon 810 chip, along with an Adreno 430 GPU, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. That also happens to be the case with the Z3+. Similarities extend even further to the 5.2-inch FullHD display that also seems to be shared between the two models. In fact, the only significant hardware differences between the pair are the fingerprint reader and the camera.

Sony is betting big on its new multi-aspect 23MP sensor, which is being marketed as the Z5's major feature. However, the same shooter is actually present in the Z5 Compact and Z5 Premium as well, so it is not quite as exclusive to the model as Sony would have you believe. It's nonetheless an excellent camera and we can't wait to put it to use.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. The most important thing is that the Z5 Compact promises to learn from the Z3+ and its mistakes and excel where it failed. That's alone is enough to warrant a full length review. So jump on.

Iphone 6s Review

The more it changes, the harder it becomes to see the difference. And you know, it's not about Apple and the iPhone at all. It's where the industry has been heading for a while now. In the race for screen size and processing power, the major makers' flagships are like pro athletes finishing within milliseconds of each other. To get an extra edge, manufacturers will go in lots of directions - such as water proofing, bigger and sharper selfies, wireless charging, curved or borderless screens, whatnot.

A certain type of players would rather lose than be in a crowd of winners. Others don't even play games they can't win. Guess we all know where Apple stands on this.

With a single iPhone a year - two as of late - Apple is the kid that skips classes but aces the tests. The wild card player that goes on to win the tournament. The team that doesn't play qualifiers, but goes into the world cup.


Wouldn't we all do less and make more? There goes the iPhone 6S, off to a familiar start. The same on the outside, but trying to pose as the most important iPhone since the first one ever released.

The new iPhone, being an S model, naturally comes with more power under the hood, but also brings the long awaited camera upgrade. The main camera now uses a 12MP sensor capable of 4K video recording as well as 1080p at 120fps, there is a brand new 5MP selfie camera too. And, it's the same screen size and resolution, but we think it's exactly what Apple meant with "the only thing that's changed is everything".

Key features

• 4.7" 16M-color LED-backlit IPS LCD of 750 x 1334px resolution, 326ppi
• 3D Touch technology recognizes levels of pressure, brand new Taptic engine for better feedback
• Apple iOS 9
• Dual-core 1.8 GHz Twister 64-bit CPU,PowerVR GT7600 GPU, 2GB of RAM, Apple A9 SoC
• 12MP F/2.2 camera with True tone LED flash, phase detection auto focus, 2160p@30fps, 1080p@30fps, @60fps and @120fps video recording, 720p video recording @120fps and 240fps
• 5MP F/2.2 front-facing camera with BSI sensor and HDR mode, 1080p@30fps video
• Comes in 16, 64, and 128GB of built-in storage
• Second-gen Touch ID fingerprint sensor
• 4G LTE Cat.6 (300Mbps); Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac; Bluetooth 4.2; Lightning port; GPS with A-GPS and GLONASS; NFC (Apple Pay only)
• 1,715 mAh battery, new Power saving mode

Main disadvantages

• No microSD slot
• Pricey memory upgrades, 32GB version should be standard for such an expensive phone
• Protruding camera lens makes the phone wobble
• Lacks the optical image stabilization of the iPhone 6s Plus
• NFC functionality limited to Apple Pay
• No wireless charging, an infrared port, or FM radio
• No enhanced resistance to liquids or dust
• No user-replaceable battery

The first iPhone heralded the arrival of capacitive displays and multi-touch technology. The iPhone 6S is the first to have 3D touch - a screen technology that recognizes different levels of pressure for an extra dimension of interaction with a device.

A late tribute perhaps to resistive screens, which Apple itself sent to their doom. Not a particularly scientific statement, although resistive technology did rely on actual pressure to work. Good enough for anyone with a penchant for the dramatic.


But if we are to stick to the facts, the iPhone 6s aren't the company's first device with a pressure-aware display, the Apple Watch is. Plus, phones like the Huawei Mate S and the ZTE Axon mini do deserve at least a mention as well. Anyway, this only highlights the difference between Apple and the rest. Cupertino has the habit - and in all fairness, the capability - to pick a niche technology and make it mainstream.

So, the pressure aware display and improved imaging are the big news about the iPhone 6S. We've pretty much come to take the next OS and chipset version for granted.


Sure, we all know better than to expect a memory card slot and access to the battery, but we just can't agree with Apple's decision to stick with the 16GB option as a base instead of 32GB, which is actually not offered at all. 4K videos and the live photos (with sound) will clearly need more space than before. Not only that, but Apple is actually charging slightly more in Europe for the base version of its latest iPhone.

And we can put it down as a typical Apple quirk that they snubbed things like water resistance and wireless charging but somehow couldn't resist the selfie thing. Oh well, there'll be more of those as we go. Our 64GB iPhone 6s is popping out of the box right after the jump.

Samsung Galaxy A9 upgraded to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow

The Samsung Galaxy A9 was just discharged toward the start of the year, and today we are taking in the handset is getting the Android Marshmallow overhaul clients were guaranteed. The telephone's product has been moved up to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, to be careful.

It is asserted the Samsung Galaxy A9 has gotten a couple upgrades in the previous week. Both depend on Android 6.0.1, so it is misty what the distinction between them is. Be that as it may, the uplifting news is currently you know you have Marshmallow and everything the most recent Android rendition brings to the table.

Android Marshmallow offers cool changes like Doze Mode, Google Now on Tap, local unique mark peruser support, granular authorizations and significantly more. You can read about Android Marshmallow elements and changes by hitting the connection underneath.

Samsung's Galaxy An arrangement keeps on being an extremely fascinating one. These are top of the line handsets with some lower-end specs. The Samsung Galay A9 touts an amazing outline, great form quality and worthy execution. In spite of the fact that on the drawback, it has only a 1080p screen and a so-so camera.

It's somewhat difficult to tell where the telephone truly remains, as it was valued at just about $600 when it was initially dispatched. That puts it just a little beneath the top of the line leaders. In any case, on the other hand, it was made for the most part for Asian markets, which are an entire other ball game. Notwithstanding, it's decent to see the telephone is being kept pleasant and upgraded.

Have you gotten your update yet? You can simply ahead and check for OTA overhauls in the settings!

Galaxy Note 5 Review

With a new yet controversial design language and some enhancements underneath the surface does this new smartphone continue the legacy of the no line this is Dr. Vergara from injured authority was going on everybody and this is a Samsung galaxy note 5 grabs the most important part of the new galaxy note 5 is that it feels like we've been here before and that starts with the design though much of the galaxy design language remains as familiar as ever the no line takes on the material choices of the S line making this the first unibody in the tablet line glass panels are kept together with a metallic frame and I'll include the translucent colors I literally make this film shine and reflect this also means that this is probably the most fingerprint prone no device we've ever seen which is another truck that derives from the galaxy a six but my managers to be just a bit more than a larger S6 though as there are subtle curves on the rear sides that actually help with the handling of this big phone that said however much of what we all remember from Samsung devices returns here the funds are all where one would expect them with the finger print reader under the home button now being a press type rather than swipe type down on the bottom or all of the ports speak of growth and of course the S Peninsula very neatly in the bottom right corner of the Aspen got some real updates and design as is evident when you pop out the top this has to be done in order to actually pull out the entire pen which does feel and looks sleeker than before and I click on the top is yet another toy to mess with in any avid Aspen users will probably take advantage of in between the thoughts okay as we will talk about this somewhat controversy about the Aspen in the galaxy note 5 now Samsung did unfortunately created so that the Aspen can be inserted backwards into here but really if you're just feeling for the right portion of the pen to insert into this particular slide and you should be fine the clicky top part goes last okay and if songs are just wary about it and you should have any problems of the Aspen on your note 5 this new design language in the note line means one big controversial change now we have the lack of a removable back cover and I'll let you get underneath it that means that there are no ST cards or removable batteries available here now those two features have made and aligned the go to phone for the power user and that is just not the case of the more we will explore this notion a little bit more in the hardware section where our time with the phone reveals pros and cons for these changes sacrificing these two features does make the thinnest most beautifully constructed galaxy note ever handling myself or from a pretty slippery glass design open to your fingerprints and smudges kind of slow it down the note 5 still manages have one of the most appealing aesthetics even if it feels a little too familiar but familiarity is something that this device can really benefit from especially when the company has already succeeded in a lot of areas up until now that starts with the display which is the same qualities you performer from last year again incrementally enhanced for this year's viewers 25 60 x 14 40 resolution makes a lot of sense on a larger disk and makes for some really high pixel density in this 5.7 inch display below we think is most important about this panel however is the really small bezel ratio so little space on the sides of this really helps for handling but the high saturation superfamily construction still proves as great as ever with really high saturation that can still beat week down my due and more than adequate viewing in broad daylight considering this is a phone that deals in text and writing the screen really shines but fire up a colorful game and you'll have just as much joy with it performance continues to be a high point for the galaxy because the in-house processing packages have been optimized for the toned down touch with Dixie on Sunday 420 returns from the galaxy S6 were really shines and brings with it 4 GB of RAM for some real multitasking especially considering the S is no doubt in our minds of the process was a great performer as a whole week with the phone has yet to slow down this phone that we've installed apps games tractors and even have jotted a lot of notes down a quick thought on the onboard storage of the galaxy five as this was the case for the S6 the storage of the note 5 is UFS 2.0 which is a standard that can rival speeds of solid-state drives in the galaxy S6 was any indication it doesn't job in keeping the speed as high as possible in this version of android now for a lot of people this might not be a good enough reason to forgo expandable storage but the speed of the galaxy note 5 itself kind of makes up for it so she when you consider that everything in here has been optimized for the overall experience again this might not be enough of a reason for a lot of you out there but we just thought it was something that should be considered nonetheless the note 5 does succeed where the note has always done so and being the fastest and best iteration of the galaxy experience in any and hardware we start off at some of the familiar additions on the back of the phone right next to the camera package the heart rate sensor can be found in works about as well as ever because the S health application has been somewhat streamlined that said we know that is not something everyone will use too often and every connection is available here including NFC that is the main part of the upcoming Samsung payee cost of phone calls come in loud and clear also with no dropped calls in my usage on the T-Mobile network speaking of audio the speaker on the bottom benefit from a better placement from before but provides the expected quality it does get pretty loud without providing too much body the sound over glad it doesn't overdo the high ends reading is a thing of the future and Samsung makes it work quite well in the note 5 setting it up for website and credentials is also possible but for the most part the fingerprinting will be for unlocking the phone and that is incredibly easy by just waking up the phone with the home button and then leaving her thumb there in no time touch whizzes ready for an we've really explored the lack of expendable storage a bit in the performance section but we will say that the lack of ST card support is a bit of a bummer while this 32 GB version of the phone has yet to run out of space we do dread the moments that this phone actually does and finally in battery we are dealing with a 3000 million of our unit here that seems a little bit small at first but in our testing we found that the note 5 could still handle the full day of work without any problems getting more than that is a bit of a stretch screen on time never really got further than foreign half hours though standby time is really good so if the note 5 is simply laying around most of the time he can go for a bit more than a day in keeping the know as soon as possible Samsung can only fit this capacity battery in and then focused on charging as fast as possible instead for example Sampson goes faster wireless charging of the note 5 though it is not something that we really take advantage of all the time it is nice that this phone supports all wireless charging of the box but the cordless life that Sampson pondered in the relaunch of and still feels a little far off fast charging is probably going to be every user's best friend as Samsung claims of this is the fastest charging device they've ever put out only about 10 to 15 minutes needed to get the phone back to proper working condition which is about an hour needed to top off the battery now this means that something like a quick charge 2.0 portable battery could become an indispensable tool even if fast charging feels like a consolation prize to true longevity are plenty of 50 minute windows in the day that the galaxy note 5 could use so that power never feels too far out of reach Sampson continues to bring the quality in the camera department quite literally to as the camera note 5 is basically the one from the galaxy S6 16 megapixels at iPhone point on aperture with 4K video recording and the rear is backed by a five megapixel wide-angle front facing camera by far the best part about the camera app is the ability to bring it up by just hitting the home button twice but even then the app itself is pretty familiar manual controls have given a few more options namely being able to change the kelvin reading in the white balance lighter is a condition that wasn't in the S6 camera are all the usual modes as well with everything from slow-motion to a new video collage mode that was kind of fun to use the live broadcasting is also available with YouTube as the platform which is basically a periscope built into the camera we think it is in something most users will use and even then the established streaming services like periscope might still take priority difficulty remains as great as ever than keeping Samsung at the top of the heap and android good saturation across the board keeps pictures from ever really being dull and detailed Users can benefit from the F1 .9 aperture for depth of field effects and it does help a bit in lowlight situations where pictures do get the expected level of noise due to higher ISO compensation but the app does get a little bit slower in lowlight when trying to focus much like the galaxy S6 proved earlier this year the great camera experience we already had in the note for could be further improved and thus the note 5 gets all the benefits of this year's evolution in camera quality and performance and finally in software we will focus primarily on the S pen though there is a lot offered in this version of tortures as well the main story is and how streamlined this version of android has become as much of a bog down Sampson's operating system has been stripped away what remains is actually pretty useful namely certain gestures in the theme engine that does well to change the look of the interface plenty can be found with just a bit of digging like easy access to the multiwindow from the recent app screen as well as one-handed operation features easily triggered by hitting the home button three times just like in the S6 there are far less tutorials and annoying reminders of what the phone canned which is probably our highlights of this version touches of course the additions are mostly in the Aspen which has been proportionally streamlined with the rest of this operating system some features from before having taken out prioritizing the most use abilities of the Aspen creating memos is easier than ever in the note 5 as removing the Aspen when the phone is in standby no longer wakes it instead the display remains black and the screen off memo pad opens up for any times when the user needs to quickly jot down info like phone numbers this makes note 5 as accessible as a pad of paper in the back taking the Aspen out in any other situation or pressing the button on it opens up the better looking air command menu which now includes a few shortcuts to user-defined apps though it does feel weird to put anything here that doesn't take advantage of the stylus action memo is still able to read handwriting and then insert into a number of different applications with varying degrees of stress but it is still mainly just a way to add to S and S notes every note can be pinned to the home screen as well as made into a reminder both practical features that make the screen off memo that much more appealing to use regular smart select is also as powerful as before as any portion of the screen can be cut out and very easily share for anyone that likes to talk and messaging apps through pictures and names like me sometimes smart select is pretty awesome and finally there is screen right which takes screenshots of the current workspace for editing and sharing but now scrollable pages like webpages can be pieced together automatically by it creating a long image or note that encompasses everything on the page you want to save think long recipes from your favorite interest for example what is probably best about the Aspen is that it actually feels a bit more essential than before and I was achieved by not over saturating it with buttons or tutorials or even raw features the list of S pen abilities is not as long as before and there are some use case scenarios for every single one of you never use the Aspen it is an addition that proves it's worth every time you say why not perform a typical task with it instead prices for the Gelsinger five are expectedly high though the phone was made available just days after the announcement across all major carriers in the West in total at least $700 is what you'll shell out to get Samsung's latest outing whether or not you use payment plans on T-Mobile AT&T or elsewhere it is hard not to look at the note 5 in comparison to what Samsung is offered in the past because this year the company decided to take quite a departure in design and hardware choices in a five when I feel like a power user device anymore and people who feel that way are completely validated in doing so for those who expected more this new iteration feels too much like a galaxy S6 in terms of what it decides to leave out but it also succeeds in offering the best that the S6 started in a bigger and even better package the stellar display is better at 5.7 inches the performance is super smooth and reliable for any and all usage levels in the camera is still one of the best and android today extendable storage and replaceable batteries might be missed we were still able to enjoy the note in spite of all in the note 5 if we work with what were given this phone still delivers as always think you guys very much for watching I hope you enjoy this review of the Samsung galaxy note 5 but if I was still a spectacular device no doubt about it just doesn't really offer the things that we kind of expected it to even if our expectations were a little bit high the impact of the note 5 just isn't where was Laster with a note for an even before then with the note 3 but if you spend some time with this new version of the galaxy note were kind of certain that you'll still pretty much fall in love with it bedding set.

LG V10 Review

There's a considerable amount to the LG V10 - a lead, a phablet, a camera telephone, a tough telephone, a Hi-Fi telephone and the first of the new V-arrangement. It's a component stuffed gadget and its mark highlight is the optional dependability in plain view and a double selfie camera. Up to this point, the LG G4 and the G Flex2 ruled LG's lineup as co-leads, yet now there is one and only Lord. In our sneak peak we portrayed it as "G4 on steroids" and the more we go through with the LG V10, the more we are persuaded this is an able depiction.

The auxiliary presentation is basically one line over the fundamental screen that can be left on every minute of every day and serves for notices and alternate routes. This is in the notification light as email is in Morse code - a much healthier approach to give you initially informed of what happened since you last checked your telephone.

We've seen optional screens like this one preceding,however, this is our first double selfie camera. LG tackled the issue of gathering selfies ('groufies') by including an all inclusive 120° camera, notwithstanding the standard 80° one. Numerous a greater amount of your companions can now fit into the shot.

The primary camera is extremely noteworthy as well, it highlights the most thorough arrangement of manual controls we've ever seen on a cell phone. Indeed, even PureView Lumias and Samsung's cell phone/camera half and halves didn't have a portion of the settings accessible on the LG V10.

And after that there's the unique finger impression per user, the 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC and the premium earphones. Here's the short form of it, we'll make a profound plunge into the top components of the V10 when we're finished with the introduction.

Key features

• Main 5.7" Quantum display, QHD resolution (515ppi)
• Secondary 2.1" line display, 1,040 x 160px
• Stainless steel (316L) body and Dura Skin cover; shock-proof (MIL-STD-810G)
• 16MP main camera, 1/2.6" sensor, f/1.8 aperture; optical image stabilization and laser autofocus
• 2160p video capture, manual mic control
• Dual-selfie cameras: both 5MP, one with 80° lens, one with 120°
• Dual-core Cortex-A57 (1.82GHz) + quad-core Cortex-A53 (1.44GHz), Adreno 418, 4GB of RAM; Snapdragon 808 chipset
• Android 5.1 Lollipop with Optimus UI
• 64GB built-in storage plus microSD card slot
• Fingerprint sensor
• Cat. 6 LTE (300Mbps); Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac; Bluetooth 4.1; GPS/GLONASS; NFC; USB 2.0 • SlimPort 4K
• 3,000mAh battery; Quick Charge 2.0 (50% in 40 min)

Main disadvantages

• More powerful chipsets exist, a flagship should have gotten the best
• Rugged, but not water resistant
• The durable back cover not as premium as G4's leather covers
• Rather heavy, even for its size

The LG V10 provides a nice antithesis of the Galaxy Note5 and S6 edge+. Their sealed back compartments and glass backs (which double the chance of cracks when dropped) make them seem more vain than practical. Also, the Galaxy S6 edge+ does not use its dual-curved screen as a separate control like last year's Note edge did.
