IPhone 8: The smartphone will be delivered in limited numbers because of Samsung …

sivertime — Thu, 29 Jun 2017 16:02:33 +0000

It may well be that the iPhone 8 is produced with less than 4 million copies on its release. A limitation imposed by the stock of OLED displays from Samsung Display. What a joke for Apple …
The iPhone 8 is likely to remain on the sidelines before its release … This new Apple flagship looks promising. With its borderless screen and fast recharge, it would be enough to make its competitors shudder … But it may be that the headed smartphone is sold initially, in limited number. Because of this, the switch to the OLED screen. Samsung Display would have supplied only 3 or 4 million OLED screens , which is well below the number expected by the Cupertino firm. What a joke for Apple, already supplanted in the smartphone market by its Korean competitor .
Will the iPhone 8 be reserved for a small handle when it comes out?
Xiaomi Mi 6, LG G6, Huawei P10, Galaxy S8 … With more than fierce competition, this unfortunate delay will seriously put sticks in Apple’s wheels , who wanted to keep the competition away with its iPhone 8. If Tim Cook Wants to regain the upper hand, he will have to put the doubles double. Apple must already be blamed for being stolen by Vivo on what was to be the biggest novelty on the market (a Touch ID built into the screen). Anyway, those who were eager to buy the iPhone 8 on its way out will have to arm themselves with patience. The fault to Samsung. Case to follow … And you? What do you think ?

Google does not want to leave anything to chance for its Pixel 2. The firm has even recruited an expert from Apple to work on the smartphone!
Google has a new idea in mind: create its own chips. The goal is to control all of its products like the Google Pixel 2 (which like the Samsung Galaxy S8 could be borderless) .

The latest employee to have been approached by the famous firm comes directly from … Apple! What’s more logical to become the best than to go to the competition ? The employee in question is none other than Manu Gulati and his qualifications are rather impressive …

The HTC U 11 will come out in a 6 GB version of RAM and 128 GB of storage … But not in France, according to the list unveiled by LlabTooFer. It will be satisfied with the 4 GB version of RAM and 64 GB of storage.
Earlier in the week, meltyStyle told you that HTC had implemented the HTC Elevate program to preserve the image of its HTC U 11 . The mission entrusted to the fans? Defend the flagship against critics in exchange for some goodies. Culotted and rather clever, it must be confessed.

The leaker LlabToFeR unveiled the list of countries in which the 6 GB version of RAM and 128 GB of storage will be marketed, and the Hexagon unfortunately does not participate .
According to LlabTooFeR, the most powerful HTC U 11 will be offered in China, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, Russia, the Philippines and Saudi Arabia, as Phonandroid . Why did not you select France to be among those privileged? Because according to the manufacturer concerned, power is not its main source of interest. It has the merit of being clear! If you can not get the 6GB version of RAM / 128GB storage of the HTC U 11, you are offered to (re) discover the speed test that opposes it to the Sony Xperia XZ Premium .

sivertime — Fri, 02 Jun 2017 15:45:55 +0000

You want to buy a new smartphone and you wish to have the best phone possible in terms of photo? Between HTC, Google, Samsung, Sony and Huawei, here are the best Android phones of the year.

Whatever your favorite builder, you’ve come to the right place. With a real technological advancement, the best smartphones in terms of photo make impressive shots (proof with the latest Sony Xperia) . Quality level, they have nothing to envy to some digital cameras, when the lighting conditions are good. Between HTC, Google, Samsung, Sony and Huawei, here is our selection.
HTC 11
If the LG G6 has everyone’s agreement in terms of photo, the smartphone must now compete with the HTC U11. The latest “jewel” of the Taiwanese manufacturer is even currently the best photophone market , with a score of 90 on DxO. Whether it’s on a sunny terrace or in the dark, your pictures taken with the HTC U11 will make the headlines !
Sony Xperia XZ Premium
With its experience in cameras and sensors, Sony has put everything on the Xperia XZ Premium camera. The main photo sensor features 19 MP with a focal length of 1 / 2.3 “, the same size as standard cameras, and while Xperia Z5 Premium and Xperia XZs A very slow photo, the new flagship of the giant Nippon highlights Motion Eye technology that allows to quickly capture several shots before processing them in a very short time. In short, you understood, Sony really has a shot in photo With this new smartphone.
Samsung Galaxy S8
While we were afraid that the Galaxy S8 is handicapped by its photo sensor which is similar to that which was discovered on the S7 Edge, the smartphone of Samsung finally fails very well. The Galaxy S8 succeeds particularly detailed photos, to the delight of the lovers of the mark. In the editorial, we still have a preference for the Samsung Galaxy S8 +, the great and strong successor of the Galaxy S7 Edge.
Huawei P10
The Chinese giant never ceases to amaze us. More than an evolution of the P9, the Huawei P10 tutoie perfection. As for the photo, the smartphone of Antoine Griezmann realizes very beautiful photos. We have already been able to immortalize Barcelona or the Parc des Princes and the result is really impressed. The latest Chinese smartphone is equipped with a dual photo sensor that benefits from the expertise of a very snoring name in the middle of the photo: Leica.
Google Pixel
The camera is probably the true highlight of Google Pixel. Before the release of the LG G6 and HTC U11, the flagship of the search engine was voted best of the photophones by DxOMark. Equipped with a sensor of 12.3 Megapixels composed of 1.55 μm cells and a lens with a f / 2.0 aperture, the Pixel sends heavy. But obviously, the Google Pixel 2 could be even stronger than the Galaxy S8.

Essential Phone: The 3 weak points of the competitor of the iPhone 7

sivertime — Wed, 31 May 2017 15:11:43 +0000

The Essential Phone has just been officialized! MeltyStyle points out its 3 main flaws.
This Tuesday, May 30, Andy Rubin and his team have formalized the Essential Phone, their very first smartphone . Positioned on the high end, the device has qualities worthy of the largest manufacturers on the market. Its power is provided by a 8-core Snapdragon 835 processor coupled with 4 GB of RAM, and its photo quality by a dual 13 megapixel rear sensor with f / 1.85 aperture among others. But despite its undeniable strengths, the Essential Phone still catches on some aspects … We selected 3 so you can get an idea.
1) It does not have a jack
Like the iPhone 7, the Essential Phone is devoid of jack … An absence that did not prevent Apple to sell its smartphone by hundreds of thousands, but that could be damaging to its new rival. Yes, the brand of the co-founder of Android does not logically benefit from the same popularity as the Cupertino firm, and potential users might be tempted to turn to a product that incorporates the famous 3.5mm port. A big mistake on the part of Essential ?
2) It is not waterproof
Big negative for the Essential Phone! As more and more smartphones benefit from the IP67 / IP68 certification – including the iPhone 7 – the new flagship is not designed to withstand the water … Once again, it can be a brake! Especially as we will see in the third point, the Essential Phone is really not given.
3) Its price and availability
Already available in pre-order, the Essential Phone is worth $ 699. So yes, it is cheaper than an iPhone 7 or a Galaxy S8 that beats sales records … But it remains very high for a brand that we are just beginning to hear about. Not to mention that the smartphone is currently available only in the US market, which is still quite limited. We’ll see if users crack anyway or not. What do you think of the Essential Phone?

sivertime — Mon, 29 May 2017 15:27:40 +0000

The OnePlus 5 presentation has leaked! The Chinese flagship should point the tip of its hull on June 15th.
Last weekend, OnePlus announced that the OnePlus 3T would soon be out of date … The manufacturer has stopped the production of the smartphone, which means that we will no longer be able to shopper it once the stocks are exhausted .

The message posted on Weibo comes from an internal OnePlus source . We do not know whether he is voluntary or clumsy, but in any case, it gives him credibility.

IPhone 7: Will the flagship make you happier?

sivertime — Thu, 25 May 2017 13:42:24 +0000

Can an iPhone make it happier? It would seem that yes from a recent study! But is the last born of the apple the one that will make you achieve satisfaction?
A phone has become quite important over the years. To be satisfied, everything must be at the top: its characteristics, its design, its operating system and even its service! An ASCI survey wanted to measure the satisfaction rate of smartphone users and whether they were happy with their model. The iPhone 7, which unveiled a new advertising campaign for the good cause , will it be the phone that will make you more content? It seems that the latter is positioned in rather good place. A place he shares with other giants like Samsung Galaxy S7 or Note 5.
The iPhone 8, which could come out later than the iPhone 7s and the iPhone 7s Plus , will exceed this high satisfaction rate? It must be said that the flagship Apple has everything to make happy its future owners if we believe the latest rumors. Curved screen, camera exploiting augmented reality, iOS always more powerful in version 11 … It will take a lot to dethrone the number 1 of the ASCI ranking that is other than iPhone SE! A smartphone that has conquered users thanks to its small size and tiny price. A rather amazing result that goes against most forecasts. What do you think of this ranking?

Samsung Galaxy S8: The iris scan hacked by hackers?

sivertime — Thu, 25 May 2017 13:38:23 +0000

What was to happen happened: German hackers claim to have found a way to hack the Samsung Galaxy S8 iris scanner …
This was one of the novelties expected for the Samsung Galaxy S8, which unveiled its interior , and it could well turn against him. When the announcement of the presence of the scanner of iris (already experienced with the late Galaxy Note 7), the aficionados of new technologies were delighted. But among them were pirates who claim to have pirated this function. It is the German group Chaos Computer Club which has highlighted a rather simple way to fool the scanner (but not necessarily simple to implement, it must be admitted). For that, just take a picture of the owner’s eye with a digital camera. But that’s not all.
Because the snapshot must be taken in infrared mode thanks to the digital camera. The sensor using these lights, hacking can only be set up with this method. The Samsung Galaxy S8 (soon to be compatible with a new VR headset) can be duped. What to be a bit scary … Because in an increasingly connected world, hacking a smartphone can be a breeze for an ill-intentioned person. It remains to be seen how Samsung intends to solve this problem. Improve the system of the next smartphone or abandon the iris scanner? What do you think of this matter?

OnePlus 5: 3 areas in which it should rip everything!

sivertime — Tue, 23 May 2017 16:28:01 +0000

The OnePlus 5 is one of the most anticipated smartphones of the moment! Here are the 3 areas in which it should stand out.
Samsung, Huawei, Sony, LG … They all took advantage of the first part of the year to formalize their flagship. But OnePlus has decided to bet everything on the summer , as it did last year with the successful OnePlus 3. In a few weeks, the Chinese manufacturer will lift the veil on its OnePlus 5 – the 4 having been zapped because of morbid connotation. But luckily, no need to wait until then to get an idea of what it will have in the womb. The future flagship regularly unleashes passions on the Web, which allows us to glean information about it. To make you wait patiently, we propose you to make a point on the 3 areas in which it could be performing .
1) Photo quality
Last week, OnePlus announced that the OnePlus 5 camera would be set by DxO . The camera in question would consist of a dual back sensor, device of which its predecessors were not equipped. Specialist in the field of photography, the company will therefore bring all its expertise to the Chinese manufacturer. This makes it one of the best photophones on the market.
2) Power
According to rumors, the OnePlus 5 would ship a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor and a RAM of 6 GB or even 8 GB . This allows it to be particularly powerful, and open applications quickly. It should also be able to run video games smoothly, just like your favorite series. It promises !
3) Autonomy
Like the Huawei Mate 9, the OnePlus 5 would have a 4000 mAh battery compatible with fast charging. It would therefore enjoy an excellent autonomy, since it would hold 2 full days without needing to be recharged. When one knows that autonomy is one of the major criteria for young people – precisely the target of OnePlus – one thinks that the OnePlus 5 has every chance of being a success. Which of the qualities cited most excites you?

Two new pictures of the OnePlus 5 have leaked. We see the dual photo sensor of the flagship … But no jack
Now that the HTC U 11 has been formalized, all eyes are turned to the OnePlus 5 … And the Chinese smartphone should be at least as good as its Taiwanese counterpart in the field of photography , since OnePlus has announced that it has concluded a Partnership with DxO .

Apple is the brand that has the most loyalty to its customers. According to a poll conducted by Morgan Stanley, 92% of iPhone users plan to opt for an iPhone when they next purchase.
It is no secret that Samsung is the market leader in smartphones in front of Apple and Huawei .

According to a poll conducted by Morgan Stanley last April, the Cupertino firm is emerging as the manufacturer that generates the most attachment … 92% of owners of iPhone questioned say they want to replace their device with a new iPhone , Which is just huge . It must be said that Apple does everything to preserve this loyalty.
At the same time last year, 86% of iPhone users intend to buy another iPhone afterwards … The fidelity has therefore increased, to the delight of the manufacturer to the apple. According to analyst Katy Huberty that Phonandroid relayed, this attachment is primarily related to the operating system used by Apple … When we are used to iOS, we do not want to switch to Android. Then, it is explained by the rumors surrounding the iPhone 8, which is described as promising . Behind Apple, we find Samsung with 77%, LG with 59% and Motorola with 56%.

OnePlus 5: A first official photo of the smartphone?

sivertime — Wed, 17 May 2017 15:04:19 +0000

The OnePlus 5 continues to unveil itself. Today, we could observe the dual camera of the smartphone in a magnificent rendering almost official.
The release and presentation of the OnePlus 5 are planned for the next few weeks. However, its specifications are no longer a secret . We know for example that the camera should know a good power, and that its photoelectric sensors would have been the object of particular attention. The last big unknown of the smartphone concerned its design. The OnePlus 5 comes to reveal itself in an official press release, spotted on Weibo by BGR . We discover a mobile in the style very class, all black, and with a dual camera. The home button, and its fingerprint sensor are always present at the front of the smartphone. The look of the OnePlus 5 is a continuation and will not compete with the borderless design of the Galaxy S8 .
The design of the OnePlus 5 is a logical evolution of its predecessor, the 3T. The front of the device is thus identical on both smartphones, and it will be necessary to look at their backs to differentiate them. For example, the Chinese manufacturer has decided to move the dual photo sensor of the phone on the left, while keeping the flash in the center. There are also “antenna bands” on the back of the OnePlus 5 but have experienced a slimming course. We also like the black color, very similar to the edition “Midnight black” of OnePlus 3T . The whole thing should be unveiled in the coming weeks, during the summer according to the confessions of its designer. Hate to discover all that! How do you like this design?

IPhone 7 Plus: 3 things I’d like to change!

sivertime — Mon, 15 May 2017 16:24:55 +0000

The iPhone 7 Plus is cool, but it is not perfect! Here are three things I would change about the flagship if I could.
Earlier in the week, meltyStyle was sharing the rankings of the best-selling smartphones in the world in the first quarter of 2017 . The iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus camped on the top two positions, still at the top a few months after their officialization. But if they have many qualities, the two smartphones of Apple are not perfect … This is the case of the 5.5 inch version, which I have used for several months already . So that the Cupertino company continues to improve – and also to unwind – so I decided to list the 3 things I would like to change on the iPhone 7 Plus. Let’s go!
1) Its aspect ratio
It is by holding the LG G6 and the Samsung Galaxy S8 + in the hands that I began to hate its design. Next to its South Korean rivals, the iPhone 7 Plus makes it almost coarse … It’s smaller than them (5.5 inches versus 5.7 inches and 6.2 inches), but it’s much harder To handle. Luckily Apple has planned to reduce its borders on the iPhone 8 – at least that’s what is being said – because otherwise I would have cracked!
2) Its recharge time
Another thing that worries me to the highest point, the time that the iPhone 7 Plus to recharge . While the new smartphones are all compatible with the fast charge, it takes almost 3 hours to Apple to refuel. When I do not have much time in front of me, it’s quite embarrassing … Especially that I do not want to damage the battery by unplugging it / reconnecting without stopping. Thank goodness that the autonomy is satisfactory!
3) The lack of a jack
Okay, maybe I’ll pass for a pooper … But frankly, I miss the jack plug! When I forget the small adapter supplied with the headphones – which is so small that it is quickly made to paumer – I find myself stupid in front of my PC, because I can not connect it. Same when I zapped my headphones, and I want to use those of a colleague to listen to a recording on my iPhone. Impossible ! For now, it’s really re-read … But I imagine I’ll get used to it. And you, would you like to change what?
