Samsung Galaxy S8

Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone was launched in March 2017. The phone comes with a 5.80-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1440 pixels by 2960 pixels at a PPI of 570 pixels per inch.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is powered by 1.9GHz octa-core Samsung Exynos 8895 processor and it comes with 4GB of RAM. The phone packs 64GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 256GB via a microSD card. As far as the cameras are concerned, the Samsung Galaxy S8 packs a 12-megapixel primary camera on the rear and a 8-megapixel front shooter for selfies.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 runs Android 7.0 and is powered by a 3000mAh non removable battery. It measures 148.90 x 68.10 x 8.00 (height x width x thickness) and weigh 155.00 grams.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is a single SIM (GSM) . Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, NFC, 3G and 4G. Sensors on the phone include Compass Magnetometer, Proximity sensor, Accelerometer, Ambient light sensor and Gyroscope.

This phone is apparently the first to hit Gigabit LTE speeds. T-Mobile has shared a video that shows the Galaxy S8 hitting really fast speeds. This is largely possible due to the Snapdragon 835 chip that houses the latest Qualcomm X16 LTE modem capable of hitting gigabit speeds. Samsung had also announced earlier that the Exynos 8895 is also capable of hitting gigabit speeds. Of course, T-Mobile’s test is done under ideal conditions and it’s unlikely that such speeds can be achieved in real life scenarios.The smartphone will support wireless charging as well as fast charging.
This is the first smartphone to sport Bluetooth 5.0

The DECA-Core Gen. : MEIZU MX6 unveiled

The Meizu MX6 has an all-metal unibody, with a fingerprint sensor embedded into the home button on the front. It will be available in Grey, Silver, and Gold colour options, and runs Meizu's own Flyme operating system. 

The Meizu MX6 looks handsome, with a premium feel at the outset. It's lightweight and rests in a palm with ease. The design seems inspired by the iPhone 6s, with antenna bands and a protruding camera ring at the back. The camera, however, is placed in the top centre of the back, with a circular two-tone flash sitting below it. The volume buttons are on the right with the power button right below them, and the dual-SIM tray is on the top left side. MicroSD storage expansion is not supported, so there is no hybrid SIM slot. There are no capacitive buttons alongside the home button or on the screen. Instead, Meizu has integrated all navigation functions button into the home button itself. Tapping this button will take you one step backwards, while physically pressing it will take you back to the home screen. Swiping upwards on the screen will open the app switcher for multi-tasking.

The USB Type-C port, speaker grille, microphone and the 3.5mm audio jack are positioned
on the bottom of the device, matching the layout of the iPhone 6s. The home button in the
front uses Meizu's M Touch technology, which the company claims is fast, secure, and accurate.

The Meizu MX6 features a 5.5-inch 1080x1920-pixel LCD display. The screen looks crisp
and bright, with minimal reflectiveness under indoor lights. Meizu MX6 comes with a new
Smart Eye Protection mode which automatically adjusts the screen's brightness in different
light conditions. There's also a new Touch and Display Driver Integration (TDDI) manufacturing
process developed by Sharp to enhance the touchscreen experience. Meizu says it has used
a single-layer in-cell panel to achieve the 7.25mm thinness of the MX6.

Meizu's own Flyme 5.1 OS is based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The lock screen on the
Meizu MX6 bears a lot of resemblance to the lock screen design of iOS 9. There's a Smart
Touch feature which lets users perform gestures to do things like open apps, check
notifications, or go back to the home screen..

The 12-megapixel camera uses Sony's new IMX368 sensor. It supports slow-motion, GIF,
and panorama modes. There are several colour filters within the app, which seem to be
inspired by Apple's camera app filters. 

The dual-SIM tray supports two Nano SIM cards, and there is no provision to expand the
storage of the Meizu MX6. The smartphone is powered by a deca-core MediaTek Helio X20
processor clocked at 2.3GHz with an integrated ARM Mali-T880 GPU, and 4GB of RAM.
Can do multi-task seamlessly. No visible lags. There's a 3060mAh battery with Meizu's 'M charge'
fast charging technology, which it claims will charge the smartphone up to 25 percent in just
10 minutes, and up to 65 percent in 30 minutes. The MX6 also offers LTE Cat 6 speeds for
cellular data connectivity

Lenovo K5 Note India Launch Set for August

Lenovo is all set to launch the successor to the Vibe K4 Note smartphone, the K5 Note, in India. The Chinese
company over the weekend in a tweet teased the upcoming launch. It said, "You don't have to worry about
a 'house-full' when you have the best seat in the house. The #KillerNote5 is coming."

While the "5 days to something noteworthy" in the tweet tipped the India launch for Wednesday, the company
has confirmed to Gadgets 360 the Lenovo K5 Note will be launched next month in the country. It will release
the first teaser on Wednesday, Lenovo India clarified. 

We will have to however see whether Lenovo launches its new K5 Note with the same name as the China
variant or add the "Vibe" moniker to it for the Indian market.

Back in January, Lenovo's K5 Note was unveiled in China within few weeks of the launch of the Vibe K4 Note in India.
It was priced at CNY 1,099 (approximately Rs. 11,350) and was initially only available to buy in the company's homeland.

The Lenovo K5 Note packs a lot of improvements over the K4 Note such as an all-metal body. Another 
highlight feature of the handset is its fingerprint scanner, placed below the camera module on the rear panel - 
though a similar sensor was on board the Vibe K4 Note as well. The handset also packs Dolby Atmos 
powered speakers which is the highlight on the K4 Note as well.

Much like the Vibe K4 Note, the K5 Note is also powered by a MediaTek processor. The K5 Note packs a 64-bit 
octa-core MediaTek Helio P10 processor clocked at 1.8GHz coupled with 2GB of RAM and Mali-T860 GPU.
It packs 16GB of built-in storage and supports expandable storage via microSD card (up to 128GB). 
The dual-SIM dual-4G Lenovo K5 Note features a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) IPS display, 
same as the Vibe K4 Note. The Lenovo K5 Note sports a 13-megapixel rear camera with PDAF autofocus,
an f/2.2 aperture and dual-tone LED flash apart from an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. The Android 5.1
Lollipop-based handset runs the company's proprietary Vibe UI on top. It supports dual Nano-SIM. 
The K5 Note smartphone packs digital compass, accelerometer, proximity, and ambient light sensors.
