Announced literally a couple of weeks ago, the flagship Samsung Galaxy S8 can already in the very near future get an update to Android 7.1 Nougat. Recall that by default "on board" the smartphone is installed version of Android 7.0. Of course, many will ask the question: why it was impossible to immediately release the Galaxy S8 to the market with the most current version of the system? The answer is simple: so far Samsung has focused on the release of the most stable and high-quality product, which will be insured for 100% of the fate of last year's Note 7. Now, when the Samsung Galaxy S8 is launched in mass production, it's time for smaller, but useful improvements. Actually, Android 7.1 is very little in what surpasses version 7.0, especially since Koreans add a lot of their chips to the firmware, making many of their functions unnecessary. It is interesting that the stable releases of the programs Samsung S Health and GameTuner have already rece...

DisplayMate specialists tested the Samsung Galaxy S8 screen in detail and made a verdict: the new flagship of the Korean company has the best display among all existing smartphones. In principle, it was difficult to expect any other assessment. First, the huge screen of the Galaxy S8 is the key to the device. Secondly, Samsung's top models are not the first time they receive such feedback. The last leader on the display part of DisplayMate was last year's Galaxy Note 7. However, the latter lost the problem with the battery, which could explode or catch fire at the most uncomfortable moment, which is why the manufacturer had to withdraw the entire print run. To the creation of the new Galaxy S8 , Samsung engineers came very thoroughly. The smartphone retained the dimensions of its predecessor, but the screen diagonal was increased to 5.8 inches from 5.1. You can even say that the company has made a small revolution in the smartphone market. At the same ...

For the price of just under 50 euros, the compact Bluetooth speaker D Solid from Dockin in the test quite alarm. Above all, the bass, which escapes from the solid metal case, is impressive. And we also like the other functions such as built-in radio and memory card slot. So far the Sackit Woofit was our favorite if as much sound from a compact housing should come. But the Dockin D Solid could dispute this position. Design and processing: Dockin D Solid  The Satte 425 gram brings this Bluetooth speaker on the editorial scales. It is not much bigger than a standard tennis ball. The processing is very good - here wobbles nothing, even if we do not shake the mini-speaker vigorously back and forth. The underside is made of a non-slip, rubber-like material. This even allows the D Solid to be fixed perpendicularly to the wall according to the Gekko principle. We would not recommend this. Unfortunately, over the course of time, a lot of dust and other dirt accumul...
