Your phone is certainly the favorite device for listening to music. The Samsung Galaxy S8 does not escape this rule .

Xiaomi Mi 6: Overpowering, it outclasses the Huawei P10 and Galaxy S8

sivertime — Mon, 19 Jun 2017 13:44:18 +0000

The Xiaomi Mi 6 is the most powerful Android smartphone on the market today. The Huawei P10 and the Samsung Galaxy S8 are far behind.
The Xiaomi Mi 6, the king of power? This is an important criterion when considering a high-end smartphone. Besides the size of the screen, the quality of the photo sensors or the design, the data sheet of the phone is an element to be taken into account. To objectively quantify the power of a mobile, the GeekBench tool is often used . This one gives him a base note 4000, and the higher the score, the more efficient the device. And in this little game, it is the Xiaomi Mi 6 that does the best. It outperforms its competitors, such as the Huawei P10 and the Samsung Galaxy S8 . Only phone to make him shade? The new Huawei Honor 9, recently formalized .
The Snapdragon 835 processor and the 6GB RAM of the Xiaomi Mi 6 allow it to be the most powerful Android smartphone on the market. In everyday use, it thus obtains the score of 1904, leaving the Huawei P10 and the Samsung Galaxy S8 far behind. It is nevertheless beaten, quite widely, by Apple’s iPhone 7 (More), which runs on iOS 10. When it comes to running heavier apps (like games), it ranks just behind The Huawei Honor 9, with a score of 6006 against 6049. However, the hegemony could not last. The Nokia 9 should take him first place at all levels , and the latter must be announced next month. The OnePlus 5 could also be the star of the Xiaomi Mi 6. So it is the most powerful Android smartphone on the market, but not for long. Is power an important buying criterion for you?

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.

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.

In this April 28, the Samsung Galaxy S8 is now available for purchase in France. The South Korean smartphone even benefits from a special operation at Fnac.
Unveiled a few days ago in a Parisian event that we attended, the Samsung Galaxy S8 is now available in French boutiques. After a successful pre-season campaign, the South Korean firm hopes to turn the test into direct sales. Especially that Samsung is expected at the turn … We remember of course the fall of 2016 and the fiasco of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Admittedly, Samsung’s overall sales remained stable if we believe the latest figures of IDC But market share declined by one point (23.8% in 2016, 22.8% in 2017). So, the Samsung Galaxy S8 comes at the right time to restore momentum to the giant Seoul.
50 million sales are expected for the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 + according to analysts. Given that pre-orders have been rising this year, this figure for the end of 2017 can be reached. However, it will be necessary that Samsung is wary of the bad buzz as the red veil is displayed on some screens of the Galaxy S8. The firm has since announced that it has remedied the problem. The Samsung Galaxy S8 is available from 809 euros and the Samsung Galaxy S8 + from 909 euros . At Fnac , an operation is even carried out. 2 winners per day can be refunded the smartphone when finalizing the purchase.

Samsung Galaxy S8 +: A day of testing with the new boss of smartphones!

sivertime — Fri, 21 Apr 2017 14:34:49 +0000

The Galaxy S8 + was delivered to us by Samsung. I had the opportunity to spend a day next to this smartphone. And here are my first impressions, waiting for my complete test.
10h : Ouloulou, I am one of the lucky ones who will test the Samsung Galaxy S8 +. I’m a bit ashamed, but nothing but the packaging of the new Korean smartphone gives me as much thrill as a new album by Kendrick Lamar. It is open. Aesthetically, the Galaxy S8 + has nothing to do with its elders . He throws it but still risks to keep the fingerprints of all my friends on his back shell. Well, I’m not going to make it difficult. The Galaxy S8 Plus’s very strong technical sheet sells a dream, what more can you ask for?
10h30 : Aesthetically, the Samsung Galaxy S8 + tutoie perfection. Despite its 6.2 inches, this new smartphone is very compact and offers a beautiful grip. With its sleek front, the Galaxy S8 + is synonymous with Waouh. Its Infinity screen can leave you speechless. In my hands, I felt like I was just holding a screen. Ultra-light and very thin, the Galaxy S8 + gives a real visual and sensorial slap.
11h : The first surprise that bluffs me on this Galaxy S8 is its home button. Pressing it, I felt a pressure on the finger while it is not even a real button. The new home button simulates the sensations (like your girlfriend) of a physical button. But it was mostly the screen that put a real slap. OLED requires, the contrast is effective and much better than that of any LCD screen (there is no photo with the iPhone 7 for example).
12h : Once the Samsung Galaxy S8 + has been configured, I tackle the heavy subject: the camera. And there, magic operates! The colors are hallucinating, the sensor adapts to all conditions of brightness, from the sun terrace to the subway dipped in the dark. Unlike other manufacturers, Samsung did not crack for the dual photo sensor . And even if it is only 12 megapixels, If the Galaxy S8 and S8 + are satisfied with a definition of 12 megapixels, it is mainly to capture more light. The editing of melty is more beautiful than true.
13h : It’s time for lunch and the opportunity to check that the Galaxy S8 + is waterproof. Yes, Samsung’s new phone is IP68 certified, allowing it to be immersed for 30 minutes at a depth of 1.50 meters and resisting dust. Well, I took my courage to slide the Galaxy S8 + in a glass of water (it’s less than a meter 50 but I’m already scared enough). The phone recovered well and I was able to navigate between oklm applications.
15h : Well, I decided to download the game Asphalt Xtrem to see what it looks like on Galaxy S8 +. After all, chopping rare creatures has never hurt anyone! The result is canon.
16h : After a rather dense little day, the Galaxy S8 + displays 60% of battery. Dammit . To conclude, this smartphone is a pleasure to use and it is probably the best I could try. I look forward to testing Bixby and the performance of this smartphone which should benefit from an update to correct its red veil.

The first surprise that bluffs me on this Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus is the slab Super AMOLED. It seems to be of very good quality. Once the Waouh effect began to dissipate, I realized that the Home button had given way to three touch buttons. Pressing it, I felt a pressure on the finger while it is not even a real button . He abandoned his mechanical side to go to touch, with a haptic return that simulates the sensations (like your girlfriend) of a physical button.
Despite its 6.2 inches, the Galaxy S8 More Samsung remains very compact.

LG: The G6 will benefit from facial recognition like the Galaxy S8

sivertime — Mon, 17 Apr 2017 17:13:47 +0000

Is LG inspired by Samsung? His latest smartphone, the G6, should also benefit from facial recognition through an update.
The LG G6 is one of the smartphone successes of this year. And for good reason: we tested its quality of photo of night on the Fields and the result was rather nice! So it is no coincidence that the latter should soon benefit from facial recognition, option already available on the Samsung Galaxy S8 . A rather nice gadget to impress his friends and a new point in common between the two phones that already share a very impressive screen! It is thanks to a partnership between LG and Oez that this new product will be available. And no worries if you already have a LG G6: an update will allow you to benefit without redeeming a model.
Unfortunately, initial information does not indicate whether this option will also be available in Europe or not. But the manufacturer still wants to make it clear that facial recognition can not be deceived from a simple photo as is the case with the Samsung Galaxy S8. A tackle to its competitor in an ultra competitive market where the slightest flaw affects sales. And it is necessary in front of the mastodon of Samsung which already displays more than 700 000 presales and should be a must in this year 2017. A must-see alongside the Huawei P10 but also the highly anticipated Google Pixel 2 and iPhone 8 (or Edition).

Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 +: Already more than 500,000 pre-orders!

sivertime — Mon, 10 Apr 2017 15:50:14 +0000

Samsung puts the scores with its Galaxy S8 and S8 +! According to Chosun, smartphones would have generated 550,000 pre-orders.
Unlike other years, Samsung has not formalized its flagship during the MWC. But far from apologizing for this delay, the manufacturer has used the impatience of its fans to arouse (even more) interest. As soon as announced the Galaxy S8 and S8 +, it launched pre-orders with a bonus … The insurance to receive smartphones a few days before their official release . It did not take more to convince hundreds of thousands of people to run, probably impressed by the qualities of the devices designed by Samsung. To date, more than 500,000 pre-orders have already been made.
Before the official announcement of the Galaxy S8 and S8 +, it had been said that Samsung predicted 400,000 pre-orders as for the Galaxy Note 7. An objective that it would have reached and even surpassed, according to the information gleaned by Chosun . In contact with sources in the industry, the site reported that 550,000 pre-orders of the Galaxy S8 and S8 + had already been recorded . A figure that is still forced to inflate before the launch of the smartphones concerned. The leak does not say what is the proportion of Galaxy S8 + in pre-orders … But apparently, Samsung would have decided to increase the production of the device 6.2 inches so much the enthusiasm that it arouses is important. See you in a few days on meltyStyle for a Samsung flagship test. Surprised by the success of the Galaxy S8 and S8 +?

Galaxy S8 +: Faced with demand, Samsung will increase the production of its smartphone

sivertime — Thu, 06 Apr 2017 16:14:54 +0000

The Galaxy S8 + is not yet released but it is already a cardboard! According to The Investor, Samsung would have decided to increase its production.
Earlier in the week, meltyStyle wondered what the Galaxy S8 + had more than the Galaxy S8 . We came to the conclusion that the screen size and the battery were the only points on which it stood out, which seemed light for a price of 100 euros higher. But contrary to what one might think, it does not slow down at all the users concerned. According to The Investor, the Galaxy S8 + would be particularly requested. So much so that Samsung is preparing to revise its production upwards, to satisfy all the demands made. Yes, the big screens have the coastline in early 2017, especially when their borderless design makes them easy to use.
As the Phonandroid relay , the Galaxy S8 currently accounts for 60% of Samsung’s production, compared with 40% for the Galaxy S8 +. But the enthusiasm aroused by the 6.2-inch version of the flagship would push the manufacturer to rebalance it, and opt for 55-45% before it is marketed . This interest in the Galaxy S8 + shows that phablettes are very popular. The failure of the Galaxy Note 7 was therefore not enough to discourage the customers of the Asian giant. If you dream of having Samsung’s new smartphone in your hands, then we advise you to pre-order it … You will receive it before its world release, scheduled for April 28th . And you, are you rather Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8 +?

IPhone 7 Plus: More powerful than the Samsung Galaxy S8? A benchmark tie!

sivertime — Mon, 03 Apr 2017 15:28:09 +0000

Has the Samsung Galaxy S8 managed to offer a flagship more powerful than the iPhone 7 Plus? A benchmark answers this question!
That Samsung offers a very powerful flagship, this is not surprising. But the question that aficionados arise is obviously if the latter is able to compete with Apple’s Phone 7 Plus. And even if a videographer has set out to compare the two (and especially the screen) , a new benchmark of AnTuTu officially makes it possible to know which smartphone dominates the other from a software and hardware point of view . The Samsung Galaxy S8, equipped with the powerful processor Exynos 8895, is essential to the output of this test with the score of 174155 . The iPhone 7 Plus, released last September, gets 173110 points. A very thin gap that may surprise a little bit.
And for good reason: Samsung has had much more time to develop its smartphone in front of an iPhone 7 Plus (available in RED version at Free Mobile with a free 4x payment and rental offer) available for several months. This is even more surprising when we know that the hardware of the Korean smartphone is much more advanced than that of the American ! Of course, there is a response to this minimal difference: the Apple OS, iOS, is much better optimized than that used by Samsung , Nougat Android. An operating system that only equips the firm’s products with the apple and allows the apple to have total control! What do you think of these results?
