Tom's Guide just released their phone charging speed test which reveals that the OnePlus 5T is the fastest charging phone in the world. The OnePlus 5T features Dash Charge which is not only able to charge your phone quickly, but can even charge your phone quickly while you are using it. This is...
Hey guys, put a video together doing an extreme durability test with the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active. I originally wasn't aware of the shatter resistant screen, so now that I am, decided to see how strong it was.
Dx0Mark has been the go to for camera performance testing. We were all a bit surprised then they announced that HTC has the best smartphone camera they have ever seen with the HTC U11. Now we have some camera samples that prove the U11 does indeed have a spectacular camera. The photos are clear...
If you are going to watch a durability test I like to watch a test that is a bit more scientific than just someone dropping a phone onto concrete. Zack of JerryRigEverything likes to put each new phone through his own series of durability testing. He recently gave the treatment to LG's G6 and...
It looks like the Galaxy S8+ was able to beat the battery life of the iPhone 7 in an extensive battery life test by Phone Arena. The Galaxy S8+ was able to last 8 hours while the iPhone 7 died after 7 hours and 46 minutes. When you consider the difference in battery size the feat doesn't seem to...
I have not used a Nokia phone in years but the one thing I always remembered about Nokia phones was the fact that they were built like a tank. You could just about throw them and expect that they would stay in tact. When I saw the Nokia 6 I wondered if it would be as strong as devices in the...
One of the hallmark features of Android since it's inception has been the ability to customize your device. Picking new wallpapers, icons, and themes has always been a stand out feature of the platform. Now Google is making this process super easy and convenient. The #myAndroid Taste Test asks...
Android Nougat may be just around the corner for the Galaxy S7. It would only stand to reason that Samsung is now able to sink all their resources into S7 and S7 edge development now that the Note 7 has been cancelled. Hopefully this means faster all around updates for the S7 now that the S7 is...
The one technology that hasn't improved much in cell phones over the past several years is battery technology. As cell phones started to need more power OEMs started to increase the size of batteries. This also meant overall larger phones with larger screens. For me this has all been a win win...
The V10 from last year must have been one of the most durable Android handsets ever. The V series from LG, both the V10 and V20, have been advertised as having Military-Grade impact resistance. The V10 from last year had those beefy steel bars which took much of the brunt of a drop absorbing...
When the Moto X Force came out last year it was instantly put through all sorts of durability tests including being stood on by a Clydesdale horse. The selling point of the force series is that the screens don't shatter. Lenovo actually guarantees that your Moto Z Force shattershield screen...
Google has announced a new Preview Program for Chromecast devices. They are also quick to point out that this is not a beta program.
This opt-in program updates your Chromecast to the latest firmware prior to the wide release, but these updates are said to be of the same quality as production...
It has been awhile, but HTC finally has a best in class camera again! The past few flagships have lost focus when it comes to the camera department. HTC chose to gamble with fancy features like a dual camera with added depth in photos, or replacing Megapixels with a fourth as many Ultra Pixels...
USB Type C is quickly becoming the standard in smartphones this year. It has a few benefits including faster data transfer speeds and the ability to plug in your cable both ways. Many accessory manufactures rushed to market with Type-C accessories. Unfortunately they did not build their products...
Finally Samsung has released a fairly durable device in the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. While the glass may not survive a huge drop over concrete or asphalt it may actually be able to stand up to many other forms of torture.
As soon as a hot new phone is released of course youtubers will test...
My earlier Galaxy S7 Edge camera observations were unmerited according to DxOMark who has named the Galaxy S7 Edge camera the best Smartphone camera ever! I took some shots in low light settings last week. The shots I took had much more grain than I would have liked to see. Shots were very good...
Want to try Android N, but don't want to have to run an unstable build of Android on your device? No worries you can actually install this to run on your PC. This gives you the chance to check out some of the new features without running the risk of having your phone crash in the middle of...
Is it just me or does the Galaxy S7 perform poorly in low light? Most of the photos I take in low light are super grainy with lots of noise. This is very disappointing as Samsung advertises the camera as a "Low-light camera". Samsung says an f1.7 aperture lens with larger 1.4ultra micron pixels...
