Despite being three years old – ancient by phone standards – my battered old Samsung Note 5 still beat out the tech-advanced Huawei Mate 20 Pro in some areas. Rachel Genevieve Chia/Business Insider After news broke that Huawei edged out Apple to become the world’s #2 smartphone maker, I’ve been curious about what it would be like to use one of their phones. But while I’m a millennial, I’m not hard up about having the latest tech. In fact, I like to hang on to my existing phone until it’s in such bad shape that I’m forced to buy a new one. I got my Samsung Note 5 in 2015, which is ancient by phone standards. Apps lag like crazy, the glass on the back is shattered, and the camera is a bit fogged over from when I dropped it in the sink last year. So when Huawei asked me to review their recently launched Mate 20 Pro, I decided to pit it against my aging model to see if it’s worth the buy. The phones are in a similar price range. I … [Read more...] about I pitted the spanking new Huawei Mate 20 Pro against my ancient Samsung Note 5 – and the results were surprising

Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 hands-on: An Android tablet for multitaskers
You can also extend your S4's contents to an external display via an HDMI to USB-C adapter and the tablet's screen will serve as a track pad or a second screen (in Android mode). This way, you can still keep an eye on things like your inbox or the livestream you're watching while working on a spreadsheet on the bigger display.Samsung makes a keyboard cover for the Tab S4 that costs an extra $150. You might be better off connecting your own Bluetooth keyboard anyway though. I found Samsung's version somewhat cramped, with undersized keys that made it difficult to type quickly. The company also left out a trackpad, as it did on previous models, which continues to be somewhat disorienting. Individual keys had ample travel and were responsive, though.Overall, I found the DeX enhancements made much more sense on a tablet than it did on a smartphone. If you buy the keyboard cover, the Tab S4 becomes a compact, all-in-one workhorse that doesn't require you to lug around any loose parts. It's … [Read more...] about Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 hands-on: An Android tablet for multitaskers
Galaxy S8 vs iPhone X vs LG G6 vs V30 price and resale value comparison
Besides design, specs and street cred, there is another important variable to explore while choosing a phone - value retention. What good is the snazzy flagship you paid close to a grand for, if a few months after its introduction it would have become an upper midranger, and, more importantly, lost a whole midrange price tag in value?This is why we were curious to follow if last year's flagships are ageing gracefully. After all, 2017 was the year when average phone prices hit a record, and there's never been such a price jump year-on-year, thanks mainly to "1K" phones like the iPhone X and Note 8, but also to other high-ends that saw a price boost compared to their predecessors, and the trend seems likely to continue this year. Barring BOGO deals and temporary promos around shopping events like Black Friday or Amazon Prime Day, we took the lowest price we could find from a reputable vendor, the phone maker, or in carrier stores, and threw in current average second-hand price from … [Read more...] about Galaxy S8 vs iPhone X vs LG G6 vs V30 price and resale value comparison
Comments for : As Americans balk at $700+ flagships, Samsung may refurbish the S8 as midranger
0. phoneArena posted on 4 days ago, 03:38 This makes total sense, as, after the launch of the Galaxy S9, the S8 is now the more suitable phone to take the upper midrange crown in Samsung's portfolio than, say, a Galaxy A8, which has weaker specs, but is very close to the S8's price range already. Long story short, as CK Lu, a Gartner research director puts it: "It’s the worst case scenario now. Now the phones are maybe too expensive." Yeah, no kidding... This is a discussion for a news.
