Today we decided to compare the world’s most popular Chinese smartphones. We want to warn you that we will not determine a winner, as each of smartphone has its own features.

Huawei P9 Plus

• Dimensions: 152.3 x 75.3 x 7 mm
• Weight: 162 grams

• Dual rear camera 12-megapixel camera f/2.2, 8-MP front camera
• 3400 mAh battery with fast charge
• Other features: Press Touch Technology, front stereo speakers, expandable memory via microSD, NFC, fingerprint reader.

Huawei flagship smartphone is one of the best Android device on market. We paid attention to the older model, since it has some additional features, such as dual camera by Leica, Press Touch screen and stereo speakers.

However, smartphone has some negative aspects. For example, user interface. Although some users may like Huawei user interface, we think that it is not the best among Android smartphones.

ZUK Z2

• Dimensions: 70.5 x 145.4 x 7.5mm
• Weight: 145 grams

• 3500 mAh battery
• Other features: 4G, fingerprint reader, USB type C

This smartphone is less well-known in the international market, it is possible that you have not even heard of it. But given top specifications, price, which is the cheapest among all smartphones from our today’s comparison, ZUK Z2 is the brilliant smartphone.

Since the smartphone is primarily intended for the Asian market, Lenovo refused CyanogenOS user interface, instead of which is used ZUI.

Nevertheless, the price ZUK Z2 is the main argument in favor of this smartphone.

OnePlus 3

• Dimensions: 15.2 cm x 7.4 cm x 7.35 mm
• Weight: 158 grams
• 5-inch screen FullHD OpticAMOLED
• Qualcomm Snapdragon 820

• Other features: NFC, dual SIM, fingerprint reader, USB Type C

The newest smartphone from Chinese company OnePlus is one of mobile devices that we liked most so far this year. It has beautiful design and interesting features, as well as a competitive price.

Among the main disadvantages of smartphone are the lack of slot for microSD cards, FM radio and some other small details that most people cannot see.

While the best of smartphone OnePlus 3 are 6GB of RAM and OxygenOS user interface that is really similar to Android stock.

Xiaomi Mi5

• Dimensions: 144.6 x 69.2 x 7.3 mm
• Weight: 129 grams
• 15 inches FullHD IPS screen
• Qualcomm Snapdragon 820
• 3GB or 4GB RAM

• 3000 mAh battery with fast charging
• Other features: NFC, USB type C, fingerprint reader, QuickCharge 3.0

Xiaomi MI5 has become one the most powerful and best designed smartphone. This smartphone, which was the first to be presented between all devices from this comparison, is certainly a great choice for those wanting a compact, lightweight, and powerful phone.

Like all smartphones, it has some drawbacks, for example, the old version of software MIUI 7, but with the price of 350$ Xiaomi Mi5 can be a great option compared to other smartphones.

Conclusions

As we said, it’s really hard to determine the best one from these smartphones, because they all have different specifications and features that allow users to choose one or the other depending on their tastes. But one thing is for sure, today you should not be afraid to buy Chinese smartphones.

Another of the most common questions is display panels of smartphone. Nowadays manufacturers use three main technologies for the production of displays: LCD, AMOLED or IPS.

AMOLED technology is most often used in mobile devices from Korean manufacturer Samsung. The company decided to prove that AMOLED displays have most high-quality picture. Samsung has released a video that demonstrates the benefits of AMOLED technology. The video is compared LCD panel and AMOLED display.

AMOLED or LCD: which offers a higher quality?

We should take this video with special attention, because we know that Samsung has released this video, so the company can praise its AMOLED technology.

As you can see, one of the most remarkable features of AMOLED panels, such as the saturation of colors, is greatly improved, showing a much more vivid colors than LCD panel.

As we know, AMOLED is famous for its black color, and on video we see that it is really deep black, thanks to the ability to turn off the screen pixels rather than producing black tones. In addition, the white color on AMOLED screen looks true white, while the LCD display has green hue.

After watching this video, we can conclude that AMOLED display is really much better than its competitors, in particular LCD. But, we want to draw your attention that in real life the difference is not so significant. And you do not need to choose a smartphone only on the basis of display technology.

Hard Reset vs Soft Reset: which one is better to use?

However, reset may be different. Today we look at two definitions and compare the pros and cons of each: hard reset vs soft reset.

What is Hard Reset?

Hard Reset is reset your device to factory settings, return to the factory condition. What is meant by the word “hard”? This means that this kind of “reset” will restore your device (phone, tablet, smartphone and so on.) to factory settings and parameters. Also it means that all your personal data will be removed and cleaned. Your device will be as if you just bought it at the store.

Moreover, Hard Reset can be of two types: hardware and software.

Hardware Hard Reset is performed by pressing a combination of hardware buttons. Combination of buttons depends on the smartphone or tablet model. It can be both “physical” buttons (volume, power, camera …), and sensor buttons. Since Hardware Hard Reset is done via Recovery system menu, this method is very useful, if your smartphone does not turn on at all.

Comparison Hard Reset vs Soft Reset: which one is better to use?

Software Hard Reset is performed via the menu of your device (phone, smartphone, tablet, and so on.). In this case it is necessary that the mobile device is turned on and booted correctly, then you go into the settings and to hard reset your device. It often happens that device does not turn on, or the user has forgotten the password from device, so in this case, this method does not help.

When you need to Hard Reset?

• Restore factory settings, clear all messages, notes, phone calls;
• you have forgotten your unlock pattern (pattern or password);
• After installing applications and software updates your smartphone began to slow down, fail or does not turn on.

What is Soft Reset?

Soft Reset is reboot your device. Under the Soft Reset understand emergency reboot the device. This type of reset does not bear any consequences. Soft reset does not delete the data from the device. Soft reset can be compared with the reset button on desktop computer.

You can soft reset your device by a long press on Power button. Some smartphones have a special little hole that you need to press to soft reset.

When you need to Soft Reset?

• If your device is buggy and freezes.

Thus, we compared hard reset vs soft reset methods and now you know what is better to use in your situation.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and Xiaomi Mi5: Design

Samsung Galaxy S7 is a worthy successor to last year’s Galaxy S6. Redesign of the previous generation of the smartphone has been so significant that this year the South Korean manufacturer has decided not to pay special attention to the appearance of the mobile device.

Galaxy S7 has curved edges that make comfortable to hold smartphone in one hand. The main update is aesthetic 2.5D effect of glass on the front and rear panels.

New flagship Xiaomi Mi5 we are waiting for a long time. Over the past two years, smartphone has gone through several stages of prototypes and design changes. At the moment, information about Xiaomi Mi5 is bit confusing. It is said that Chinese smartphone will be available in two sizes with completely different characteristics and appearance. Recently it was published an image that demonstrates Xiaomi Mi5 in metal body and more similarities with HTC One A9 and iPhone 6.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and Xiaomi Mi5: Display

Display Galaxy S7 is equipped with QHD resolution (2560 x 1440 pixels), similar to last year’s model. In fact, Galaxy S6 screen is one of the best on the market. 4K screen is very unlikely, and we do not think that Samsung is ready to take such a high risk, because in this case the price of smartphone will be significantly increased, while the difference between 2K and 4K is almost invisible to the human eye. As expected, screen will be developed with Super AMOLED technology and will have a size of 5.2 inches. A completely new function can be Force Touch.

Information about size, resolution and technology Xiaomi Mi5 is still unknown. Some sources claim that smartphone screen will have 5.7 inches and resolution FullHD (1920 x 1080 pixels), while the other provides information about 5.5-inch display with a higher resolution QHD, similar to Galaxy S7.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and Xiaomi Mi5: Camera

Galaxy S6 has an excellent camera, maybe even the best on smartphone market. Rumors indicate that the Korean manufacturer has decided to reduce the resolution of camera in favor of the larger receptor pixels in sensor. In particular, it said about 12-megapixel camera.

At the same time, Galaxy S7 smartphone will have a camera, designed by new technology DUO PIXEL. It is reported that new technology will reduce the level of noise in low light conditions.

Xiaomi is not famous for its high-quality cameras, but if you look at the last Redmi 3 and Redmi Note 3, the company is making great efforts to succeed in this category. Recently, Hugo Barra posted a few pictures on Facebook, which are made on Xiaomi Mi5.

The images have a resolution of 16 megapixels. It can be assumed that Xiaomi Mi5 will have 16-megapixel camera. We should note a good sharpness, thanks to optical image stabilizer. However, photos were taken in good light, meanwhile, we are more interested in shooting at dusk or indoors.

The latest information says that Galaxy S7 will be equipped with 5-megapixel front camera, while Xiaomi Mi 4 will offer 5-megapixel camera on front.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and Xiaomi Mi5: Battery

At the moment, we know that Galaxy S7 will not have a removable battery. Also, manufacturer refused to use USB Type-C port.

As expected, both smartphones will have a battery capacity of 3000 mAh. If for Galaxy S7 it is increasing, because the battery life of Galaxy S6 was Achilles’ heel, while for Xiaomi Mi5 these figures are not so attractive. It is worth recalling that Xiaomi Mi 4 is equipped with 3080 mAh battery, while Xiaomi Redmi 3 offers a 4000 mAh battery.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and Xiaomi Mi5: Software

The South Korean manufacturer has updated its latest flagship smartphones to Android 6.0 Marshmallow and introduced new features of own custom shell TouchWiz. One of the main features of Galaxy S7 will be browser with unique functions.

Xiaomi, as usual, produces smartphones with MIUI interface. If we are not mistaken, Xiaomi Mi5 will work on the seventh version of user interface MIUI based on the latest version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It is reported that the main change in software will be in API camera, such as manual control of camera and photos in RAW format.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and Xiaomi Mi5: Performance

It was published the photo of Galaxy S7 in AnTuTu application. As you can see below, new flagship of Samsung is going to set a new performance record.

It is possible that both smartphones, Galaxy S7 and Xiaomi Mi5, will be equipped with processor Snapdragon 820. In addition, we know that Galaxy S7 will be available is another version with Exynos 8890.

It is said that Xiaomi Mi5 will be available in two versions of RAM: 3 GB and 4 GB. It can be expected that Galaxy S7 will also use 4 GB of RAM.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and Xiaomi Mi5: Price and conclusions

Samsung has always been considered one of the best manufacturers of mobile devices. If sometimes we had questions on the design, such as Galaxy S5, but performance has always been undisputed. This year, Galaxy S7 design remained the same, while main changes have affected on battery, processor, water resistance and MicroSD card.

Xiaomi is quite young player in the smartphone market, so company has a right for some experiments. The main advantage of Xiaomi Mi5 will be a price. Perhaps this is enough to attract buyers?

LG G5, meanwhile, may have significant cosmetic changes compared to its predecessor. Preliminary images show that volume buttons moved to the side panel, while on the back is main camera and fingerprint reader.

In addition, LG continues to focus on removable battery, and this time company plans to use innovative design.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5: Display

According to preliminary data, both smartphones will have display with resolution of QHD, similar to the previous generation. It seems, Samsung has opted for technology AMOLED, and LG continues to use LCD displays.

In terms of size, we found that Galaxy S7 will come with 5.2-inch screen. As for LG G5, rumors point to 5.3-inch panel, which is quite surprising considering that the previous generation had 5.5-inche screen.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5: Performance

Each year Samsung is trying to win the race for productivity and take first place in the ranking AnTuTu. This year, the Korean manufacturer has made a bid on its own processor Exynos 8890, and Snapdragon 820 for some versions of smartphone Galaxy S7.

According to earlier reports, LG G5 will also work on Snapdragon 820. As you remember, LG G4 comes with pretty decent performance, however, smartphone has not reached the level of other top smartphones in 2015.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5: Camera

Cameras of smartphones Samsung Galaxy S6 and LG G4 were among the best in 2015.

Huawei Mate 8 vs Mate S: price and release date

It is expected that the smartphone will be presented at CES 2016 in early January. As you remember, Mate S was released in September 2015 at IFA.

At the moment, the price of the new smartphone Huawei Mate 8 is unknown. Huawei Mate 7 has a price of $450, while the Mate S is available for $200 more in its cheapest version. Rumors suggest that the 64GB edition of Mate 8 will cost $620.

Huawei Mate 8 vs Mate S: Display

Both smartphones have a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, which means that pixel density is higher in the Mate S (401 dpi) than Mate 8 (368 dpi) because of the 0.5 inch difference between one and another. But the main difference is in the display technology.

Mate S has an AMOLED screen, while for Huawei Mate 8 choose LCD technology. At the moment, it is unknown whether the manufacturer will continue to use Force Touch function or not.

Huawei Mate 8 vs Mate S: Software

In early September of this year, Motorola introduced the second generation of public Moto X, then 2 months later in the US market together with mobile operator Verizon was presented Droid Turbo, which is the international version (Droid Maxx) came out a month later – in early November of this year – but so far only in South America. What will you choose Droid Turbo vs Moto X?

Not so long ago the company went under the wing of the Chinese Lenovo. It’s a shame to see that the company, which in the past was one of the largest and most successful American producers, now being bought is one, another giant. Motorola, probably the only company that manufactures smartphones sink version of Android – except for the Nexus-devices – adding only their applications and a variety of additional features such as Ambient Display, which perfectly complement the drain firmware.

Display – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

Comparing the two devices, it should be noted that both are worthy competitors of each other. Moto X has AMOLED-display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, in turn, is embedded in the Droid Turbo already QHD-display, also on technology AMOLED. Both screens have the same characteristics and performance in various tests, but the first pixel density is inferior. Even taking into account the fact that the display is better Droid Turbo Moto X, it will not be better than its competitors, such as Note 4 or Galaxy S5. In our video review mentioned that the quality of the screen Droid Turbo and, accordingly, Moto X is not good enough – it does not show the true color and has trouble seeing the pictures on the maximum and minimum brightness. All this is due to the fact that the displays in both devices old developments that Samsung used two years ago. Therefore, in terms of the screen cannot be said that both devices are something to stand out from each other and from the competition, but because of the QHD-resolution wins in this aspect Droid Turbo or its international version of Moto Maxx.

Processor – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

Processors in the devices are also different: in the Moto X installed Snapdragon 801 processor with a clock frequency of 2.5 GHz Droid Turbo – already more modern and fast Snapdragon 805 processor with a clock frequency of 2.7 GHz. With regards to memory, here, too, there are differences: in the Moto X has only 2 gigabytes of RAM, as opposed to the 64-bit 3 gigabytes Droid Turbo. Indeed, virtually all tasks Droid Turbo on speed ahead Moto X; they are both very bright, Android devices on both “flies”, but Droid Turbo is still faster. It is worth noting, again we are talking about Android, that Moto X has already received Android 5.0 Lollipop, and that’s a plus, even if we consider that the Droid Turbo in the near future will also receive the new version.

Camera – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

The camera also has a notable difference: in both cases it shows mediocre results, but if you do not compare with devices from other manufacturers, the Moto X built a 13-megapixel camera with an aperture of f / 2.25 – indicator is not very impressive – in turn, Droid Turbo has a 21-megapixel camera with an aperture of f / 2.0. And like all good, plus everything we have different software improvements such as smart focus, support for 4K-videos feature slow-motion, etc., we also note the double flash on the Droid Turbo and a ring on the Moto X, however, even taking into account all listed, cameras in both devices averages, and all depends on the software part – Motorola programmers are not compatible with cameras, and it shows.

RAM – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

Regarding the characteristics of the Moto X is losing on all fronts, but for many users, the decisive factor is not the CPU and RAM, and design. Yes, the processor is weaker, less RAM, camera devices are equally “good”, but as for the design and materials of the case, then there is clearly wins Moto X, it is the first mass smartphone, which wrapped in leather – we are not talking about premium smartphones, such like Vertu and so on. e., – although Motorola devices fully be called mass because they do not suit many. That there is a metal frame around the body, two front stereo speakers, a beautiful ring flash – all this gives the device a certain charm.

Results – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

In turn, Droid Turbo has a design “on the fan”: it is in the style of Droid-like Device Company and only geeks and fans of Motorola. Of course, it may be noted and the materials of the case: this is Kevlar, which is used in bullet-proof vests, and nylon, which is capable of withstanding the enormous temperature, it is possible to mention the protection against moisture, but is an ordinary consumer is important to all of this? Is it important to the consumer – whether he will stand smartphone penetration in fire or water? Perhaps some important, but mainstream consumers clearly do not need it all. Consumers need quality housing that feels nice in the hand and is made of expensive materials, Kojima has Moto X. Solve anyway you because maybe you are the person who needs Kevlar, which like Droid-design, which are unimportant pleasant tactile sensation, and perhaps you’re a fan of the skin, metal, beautiful design. One cannot say which is better, but objectively speaking, subject only to the technical component; the Droid Turbo wins this battle.

Was a presentation of Google, over Google I / O – it’s time to speculate about what they saw. One of the central themes of the conference was the first Android Wear and clock running on the OS (which we covered in detail here ). Lucky, located directly at an event in San Francisco, even lucky enough to get to choose gadget from LG or Samsung , and later they will still Moto 360. But is it worth it on this occasion to envy?

Statistics smart watches- Android Wear

According to statistics, a month ago, the market leader in smart watches remain Pebble, though not very far ahead of the competition – they account for 35% of all devices used. After the first presentation of Android Wear we have tried to argue that awaits hero kraundfandingovogo project, which brought together worth more than 100 times greater than necessary. Then the outcome seemed obvious to me: with the release of hours on Android Wear Pebble go into oblivion. And now, LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live is available for pre-order. But Pebble in my eyes not in a hurry to fade on their background.

Autonomy – Android Wear

Declared autonomy from LG hours is 36 hours in standby mode. How they will behave in active use, we have yet to learn. The specification Gear Live specified 1-day battery life. That is, in the best case clocks have to charge every night. At least with applications for tracking sleep can say goodbye, but do not want to.

At the same time the user will appreciate the Pebble whole week battery life. Once a week I sleep statistics, perhaps, ready to sacrifice. At least one does not offer me a better user experience.

Screen – Android Wear

Bright colorful screens – this, of course, great. But what happens to them when we go out on the street, getting under bright sunlight? They can not see anything, that’s what happens. Probably watch enclose palm from the sun to see the message, it is easier than the screen of the smartphone, but still such a need does not cause delight.

Pebble, again, uses E-ink-screen, both in electronic reader. In the sun, all the information on this screen is perfectly visible.

Moreover, unlike Wear-hours, no need to press buttons on the case or poke at the screen to see which elementary hour. E-ink-screen battery spends only changing the image, allowing it to be always active.

Whether to abandon it for the sake of bright colors and touch control? Perhaps.

iWatch

To interact hours on Android Wear with a smartphone, the last to be Android 4.3 or higher. In other words, Android Wear not work with iOS-devices.

A Pebble – work. And while no iWatch flashes on the horizon, they may continue to be an option for a considerable number of users of devices from Apple.

But – Android Wear

Nevertheless, the power of Google has not been canceled. Over the past year, in between the Google I / O 2013 and 2014, the company paid developers about $ 5 billion. With the release of SDK for Android Wear they have yet another field of activity, and they will not hesitate to use it. Compete with that of the Pebble-enthusiasts community, however widely it may be, hardly can.

Marketing power again on the side of the major manufacturers. Pebble have to order online and wait and watch from LG and Samsung will be ubiquitous in electronics stores, not to mention the advertising budgets of some manufacturers.

In short, the leader Pebble is, perhaps, not be. However, if we ignore these facts aside, they still seem to me more interesting solution. What do you think about claims to Android Wear?

The post Claims to Android Wear and why Pebble still “OK” appeared first on Raqwe.

Does not happen, as they say, the ointment fly in the ointment. Therefore, following the LG G3 advantages worth discussing and what might be in it better. As we said earlier, LG repeated the feat on inclusiveness in the large display is not eye-catching body dimensions, worked on its interface and also did not lag behind rivals in the matter of filling. Yet something it seems to me, is not enough.

More batteries

LG G2 just attracted many users due to the fact that have a longer battery work on the background of “our colleagues.” Flagship 2014 has at its disposal all the same battery capacity of 3000 mAh. Although the company and assure a better device optimization and application of special technologies, saving charge. Also, according to them, the metal parts of the device are replaced by graphite, which should extend battery life.

Why so little? Well, maybe in me says greed. Still too early for objective data on the autonomy of the device. And yet, the battery is not increased, but the display has grown significantly, not only in size but also in the density of pixels, which became 1.8 times more than in G2. All this entails a heavy load on the processor, and beyond it a larger drain on the battery.

Smaller screen

Actually, this item directly from the preceding. In fact, for the user there is no difference, FullHD display his or QHD. And I’m not talking about the fact that the average user technical details just “damn”, and that he physically can not tell the difference.

Also, personally I rarely watch videos on the phone even in FullHD. The screen of this size picture looks great and is easier, besides she weighs less and download accordingly faster. I would look for a video in QuadHD smartphone? Of course not. And you would be?

Again, assume that LG really has worked extensively on optimizing, and the device with 1440 x 2560 pixels consumes as much energy as it consumes another smartphone with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. But does this mean that whether there is a lower resolution – the device would work even longer?

Premium materials

From plastic, everything seems noticeably tired. Someone starts making smartphones of wood, someone uses in manufacturing back covers cashew fruit. LG has remained true to the plastic, but make up for its metal. Resourceful, something akin to a plastic skin. Let’s see what it will be of a life, of course. But something tells us that this metal would not have caused an uproar. Although, what prevents release LG G3 Prime?

Water resistance

Smartphones from Samsung and Sony have dust and moisture. And they only plus. This additional functionality significantly expands the capabilities of smartphones. Someone can answer the call in the shower, someone take a picture of the sea, just someone not afraid to put the smartphone on the table next to the glass.

According to rumors, even Apple is going to make the next iPhone water resistant. Well, let, Android-vendors will submit that for them in court. But not all. LG, for example, such a claim would not be able to put forward, which is a pity.

Total

Probably, for someone that’s not all. There is the user who will want Snapragon 805 or fingerprint scanner, for example. But if endlessly chase the latest processor, the smartphone is no generally can not wait. In LG G3 is powered by the same processor as the competitors that can provide more than adequate performance.

In biometric scanners, of course, also has the makings to get into the category, especially if they will continue to develop along with the Samsung support third-party applications. But now, in my opinion, it is not yet time.

And your opinion about what is missing LG G3, gladly honor in the comments.

The post Four Paragraphs, which lacks the ideal LG G3 appeared first on Raqwe.

Galaxy Note 3 – this, along with the Galaxy S5, the company’s flagship smartphone Samsung. Distinctive features of the device – it’s a 5.7-inch screen, Snapdragon processor 800, S Pen stylus, and in addition, 13 megapixel camera capable of recording video in 4K. Yet not everyone can play screen image at this resolution. So if this is so important detail?

Photographer Alec Weinstein (Alec Weinstein) decided to conduct a test, in which he compared the quality of the recorded video to Note 3 and one of the top SLR cameras, the 22-megapixel Canon EOS 5D Mark III with lens SIGMA 24-70 mm f/2.8.

In the video, filmed by Weinstein demonstrated both visuals simultaneously with two devices. Signature of where any of them, there is some time later. So the player settings, install YouTube quality 1080, expand the video to full screen and choose the one that you think looks better.

Of course, it is worth considering the fact that the survey is conducted during the day, with abundant sunlight, which is the optimal conditions for the smartphone’s camera.

In addition, the photographer tried to put the camera on an equal footing. So, Note 3 was reduced to recording resolution 1080p, on a par with those in which writes Canon. And the latter, in turn, have been adjusted setting contrast, saturation, sharpness, color temperature of some parameters, as well as committed minor manipulation of the exposure.
