Samsung Galaxy S8 | S8+ : Unbox Your Phone

Both Samsung Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ is now officially available for pre-order. This smartphone has a large curved Super AMOLED screen without the side edges and lack of front buttons. Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ also has a new intelligent interface called Bixby, intelligent user interface that allows users to use voice commands. The smartphone will be available in 5 colors: Midnight Black, Coral Blue, Maple Gold, Orchid Gray, and Arctic Silver.

With no side edges, curved infinity display fully dominates the front of these devices, leaving you with the feeling that you are holding anything other than a screen. It also makes the phone feel much smaller than the screen size they suggested.

Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ is the first Android smartphone that uses the latest Qualcomm chipset, the Snapdragon 835. Developed with the cutting-edge 10-nanometer manufacturing process, SoC delivers improved performance compared to its predecessor, coupled with better energy efficiency. It also supports very fast 16 LTE network connectivity. Samsung has equipped every Galaxy S8 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB ultra-fast internal storage (UFS 2.1). A microSD card slot is available to facilitate expansion.

Both smartphones feature a 12MP main camera with dual-pixel autofocus, a bright f/1.7 lens. It has better image processing compared to those found in it predecessors. Of course, the camera is capable of capturing 4K video. Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ also have an IP68 rating for water and dust resistant.

Nokia 3310 is one of the most popular phones of all time and has been the leader in the mobile market. If you are a fan of 3310, then you probably want this. But if you are not familiar with the old Nokia 3310, then you will not find anything special about this new Nokia 3310.

Overview

This phone does not use the Android operating system and Windows 10 Mobile but using Nokia Series 30+. Classic menu options like Call Log, Contacts, Calculator and Messages. Another menu is a calendar, a primary web browser, photo, radio, music player, voice recorder and camera applications.

Furthermore, the new Nokia 3310 does not have Wi-Fi, so you will not be able to connect to a home or office network for a better connection.

Nokia 3310 is known for a long battery life. Likewise, with the new Nokia 3310, the phone is capable of 22 hours of talk time and up to 31 days standby.
