Samsung and LG with curved edges on 4 sides displays And now, companies like Samsung and LG are on the way to improving such displays and are already actively working towards creating screens with folded edges on all four sides. As a result, we will be able to see the extended boundaries, and the display will go not only to the sides but also closes the top and bottom faces. This means one thing that we will see with you really frameless devices , where the display area on the front surface is 98%.

Judging by the information coming from the retailers, the pre-order Xiaomi Mi6 now literally beats all records. The manufacturer does not cope with the fallen volume of orders. It is known that the total number of applications has already exceeded two million. In such an overwhelming demand, there is nothing surprising: the Xiaomi Mi6 now has not virtually competitors. Samsung Galaxy S8 goes in a completely different price category, and the rest of the manufacturers do not hurry at all with the launch of top-end smartphones by 2017 standards. Pre-order Xiaomi Mi6 beats all records It should be noted that most sellers have a new flagship Xiaomi worth $ 30 to $ 100 more expensive than the official price tag. Say, on AliExpress the average cost of the Mi6 with 64GB of internal memory is about 500 dollars, and for "ceramics" can ask for up to 750. It is worth noting that some of the sellers are now clearly cheating, picking up a larger number of orders for

With "Better Call Saul" or "House of Cards", Netflix in the review is at the forefront of the Europe streaming market. The US service offers a considerable series offer, which is characterized by exclusive self-production. We test what Netflix can do and explain everything worth knowing about prices, operation, quality and compatible end devices. Netflix's core content and absolute focus are self-financed in-house productions. Here, the company is clearly aware of its long market presence in the US and the associated enormous budget. With "Bloodline", "House of Cards" and "Orange Is the New Black" are only some of the successful in-house productions, with which Netflix can clearly stand out from Amazon and Co. A look at the upcoming releases shows impressively that Netflix understands more and more as a production company with an appropriate streaming offer. At all, the range of current series is well developed - even aw

The official invitation to the presentation of the new flagship is the exact release date of the Xiaomi Mi6 and Mi6 Plus - April 19 this year. Thus, the smartphone will be presented exactly in a week. The first was the authoritative insider Evan Blass, but then some Chinese experts promised that Xiaomi will present Mi6 on April 11, that is yesterday. However, this day there were no sensations. The event will be held under the slogan "You waited 203 days, we waited 7 years". Here 203 days is the time that elapsed since the last flagship of the line - Xiaomi Mi 5s, and 7 years - the age of the company itself, which was founded on April 6, 2010. Xiaomi Mi6: Specifications and Price It is believed that the price of the new Xiaomi Mi6 starts from the mark of 2199 yuan (about 320 US dollars). For this amount, it will be possible to purchase a "minimal" modification with 4 Gb of RAM and a built-in storage capacity of 32 Gb. And the cost of the heaped Mi6 Plus

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

In the late summer, Android O will appear and owners of the Huawei Mate 9 may then look forward to a quick update. According to media reports, the Chinese manufacturer internally is already testing the update. Huawei was so far considered to be slow when it came to updating his smartphones to a new Android version. This has changed in 2017. The Huawei P9 was among the first non-Google smartphones that have received an update on Android 7.0 nougat and apparently, Huawei also gives in to Android O gas. Although the next version of Google's mobile OS does not appear before the late summer. However, Huawei is already testing the first developer version of Android O internally on the Mate 9, which is reported by the developer forum XDA Developer and refers to a reader who wants to get a corresponding firmware. He's proof of his statement with photos, which show, among other things, the new Picture-in-Picture feature of Android O. Of course, Huawei does not rely on

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

Convertibles with external graphics are not exactly like sand at sea. The Asus TP300 Transformer Book Flip features a GeForce 820M by Nvidia. The test shows: The Asus convertible makes its thing well, but is oriented more clearly towards the notebook than in the direction of Tablet PC. The Asus TP300 Transformer Book Flip is the name of the program: Special hinges allow you to fold the display 360 degrees backward. This creates a kind of oversized tablet computer with Windows 8.1. This concept, with all its advantages and disadvantages, is no longer new. Pioneer Lenovo has made it with the yoga series. And many other manufacturers followed this example. However, you should ask the Transformer Book Flip as with any of these devices , if you really need the transformation skills in everyday life. Processing: Asus TP300 Transformer Book Flip With a weight of 1.75 kilograms, the 13-inch test rig is not a light weight, which suggests a robust design. When we first touche

A fresh rumor is about the technical specifications of Meizu Pro 7 from China. In particular, it is reported that this smartphone will not be at all flagship, referring rather to the average price range. In general, until now it was believed that Meizu Pro 7 should get a relatively inexpensive, but quite productive processor MediaTek Helio X30 , which in its capabilities is close to last year's Qualcomm Snapdragon 821. Meizu Pro 7: Specifications However, an unnamed source from China announced recently that the new Meizu will receive a much slower Snapdragon 653 chipset, which in performance resembles the top-of-the-range Snapdragon 810 by 2015 standards. But Meizu Pro 7 will, allegedly, be completed immediately with 6 Gb of RAM. However, special "acceleration" a large amount of RAM relatively slow processor, in any case, will not. Also, the smartphone has a 5.2-inch screen with QHD resolution of 1440 × 2560 pixels, a dual main camera of 12 MP + 1

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 accumulate on th

Media Markt today, as so-called "snaps of the day" the Galaxy J5 (2016). The electronics retailer requires online and in the markets only 145 euros for the Android phone. A good price!

While other dealers demand just fewer than 180 euros for the dual-SIM mobile phone, Media Markt calls a price of 145 euros. You will not find the J5 (2016) cheaper nowhere. But is buying the Samsung smartphone worthwhile at all? In the test scores, the Galaxy J5 (2016) has the exchangeable battery and a metal frame. Furthermore, it offers a large screen and a pro mode within the camera app. Both features are rather unusual in this price class. Another plus: In September the Galaxy J5 (2016) is to receive an update on Android 7.0 nougat. Moderate performance However, the moderate performance and the absence of a status LE

In the iPad Pro 9.7 makes the automatically adjustable ambient light customizable True Tone display an excellent job. According to Bank Barclays, Apple will also use the underlying technology for the new iPhone 8 and iPhone 7S. Apple's new iPad, the so-called True Tone Display is not in the equipment list. Not surprisingly, it is a relatively cheap entry-level tablet. According to information from the Barclays Bank, Apple is to put on all three new iPhone models, which are expected to appear around the end of 2017, with this display technology. Thus, not only the top model iPhone 8 / iPhone Edition but also the iPhone 7S variants will have a True Tone display. Until now Apple installed the said True Tone display only in the 9.7-inch measuring iPad Pro. Is the dress blue or light blue? With the small iPad Pro, a special ambient light sensor continuously measures the light conditions. The colors of the display are then re-adjusted permanently. If you are in t
