Samsung Galaxy Note 4 delivers poor graphics performance vs. Apple iPhone 6 Plus
While boasting an "Octa Core" Application Processor option and an extremely high resolution display, Samsung's new Galaxy Note 4 falls flat in running GPU intensive apps and games--particularly in comparison to Apple's iPhone 6 Plus.The first benchmarks showing off the actual performance users will get from the new Note 4 highlights that Samsung appears to be making the wrong engineering choices, and that the conventional wisdom about Samsung's advantages in operating its own chip design and fab are also wrong. Bad Engineering ChoicesSamsung has pushed screen technology ahead of its own processor capabilities, resulting in extremely poor performance in high definition.In an apparent effort to win the "spec war," Samsung began aggressively cranking up device resolutions on its most expensive premium flagships after Steve Jobs demonstrated iPhone 4's Retina Display back in 2010. Prior to that, Samsung was internally focused on smaller devices, not larger, higher resolution displays.

An iPhone X for $5 per month? Yep!
Just a few weeks ago, Sprint unveiled a pretty tempting (and short-lived) offer on the iPhone 8: $8 per month when you sign up for a Sprint Flex plan.Today, the carrier has a similar deal lined up for Apple's best phone (for now): The iPhone X for $5 per month. Once again, that's with an 18-month Sprint Flex plan -- but there's a second requirement as well: an eligible trade-in.See it at SprintWhat phones are eligible? In a rather frustrating move, Sprint doesn't provide a list -- you just have to work your way through the phone- and plan-selection pages, then enter details about your phone to see if it qualifies.Thankfully, I've got the list right here: Apple iPhone 6, 6+, 6S, 6S+, 7, 7+, 8, 8+, SE, X, Asus Zenfone AR, Essential Phone, Google Pixel, XL, 2, 2XL, HTC 10, U11, LG G5, G6, Stylo 3, 3+, 4, v20, v30, v30+, Motorola Moto E Plus 5, E5 Play, g6, X4, Z, Z Droid, Force Droid, Z Play, Z2 Force, Z2 Play, Z3 Play, Samsung Galaxy A8+, J7, J7 Perx, Jy Prime, J7 Refine, Note 5, Note 8, … [Read more...] about An iPhone X for $5 per month?

Galaxy S9: Should you upgrade?
Samsung's Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus might be the best phones Samsung has ever made, and they're nearly here. On Friday, March 16, the company's new flagship handsets will bring their fancy new dual-aperture cameras (and stereo speakers!) to stores around the globe.But are they worth the upgrade if you already own a Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S7, or even a recent Galaxy Note with stylus? That's why I built this guide. Just scroll down until you see the phone you own, and I'll take it from there. Note: If your Samsung phone isn't on this list, it's either old enough or has been outclassed enough that you should definitely consider an upgrade.Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8 PlusThe Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus look an awful lot like their predecessors -- but don't be fooled. There are plenty of changes under the hood, even if Samsung kept fan-favorite features such as the headphone jack and microSD storage. But are any of these changes important enough for you to upgrade right away? … [Read more...] about Galaxy S9: Should you upgrade?
