It has big impact in a not-too-big footprint. But we will have to put a case on it to use the thing properly. Ah, the perils of glass in smartphone design.

A honeymoon is one of those things that rarely happens twice. Whenever you get a lot of the same, you could say there is very little discovery involved, but this is not one of those cases. We’ve just spent 24 hours with the iPhone 7 Plus, and boy is this a product unique in its own. It’s too early to fully test everything about the device, but this quick video covers most of our first impressions with the device. From a guy who’s never used a Plus as his daily driver, this marks a very interesting change to new territory.After you watch the video, make sure you chime in ...

The honeymoon phase varies from product to product, and there are certain devices that are just too feature packed to be judged by one video. The case of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is probably the most evident. Samsung has poured all of the maturity that it has learned with the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, and has launched a phablet that dares everything. The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is so feature packed that it just wouldn’t be fair to review it with a quick video. There is a lot of great in most of the features tested, which is enough to believe that the old Samsung full of ...

What do you call spending your honeymoon phase with a beast? I mean hey, first impressions are everything, but if there is one thing rugged phones are never apologetic about, is looks. To be fair, rugged phones were never meant to be pretty. If anything the idea is to serve a purpose, and that’s to become as handy of a tool, as the drill and the wrench that you need to get a specific job done.The Galaxy S7 Active is a beast of a phone. It’s padded borders hint to a product designed to take a beating, but even as commanding as it is, you’d be surprised that good looks came ...

In the honeymoon phase, first impressions are everything, but just like certain relationships are more complex, some smartphones should never be judged by just one video.The LG G5 is unlike any other smartphone we’ve reviewed in years. The last time modular design was popular was more than a decade ago with the COMPAQ iPAQ, and at a time when smartphones have begun to get boring, the G5 is a breath of fresh air. Instead of having to choose between great design or expandability, LG tries to solve both with the G5, and this is both good and bad.Watch our first impressions video as we go ...

Ah, the honeymoon phase! That moment where you just unwrapped your new toy and putting it down is more painful than anything. Some devices do a good job at this and some don’t, but so far the Galaxy S7 has taken the cake.Samsung has done an amazing job in improving the already great build of its predecessor, and taking ergonomics to a next level. From the metallic trim, to the curved glass surrounding it, This is one of those phones that calls to be held constantly. At a time when first impressions are everything, It’s shocking just how much you can learn from a product on the ...

You only get one chance to make a good first impression.It’s a strategy we’ve seen before. If you want some headlines and media coverage, design a phone around one specific feature. ASUS is following in the footsteps like of devices like the Lumia 1020 and

One of the best things Verizon wireless ever did was acquiring the rights to use the word “Droid” to differentiate its phones powered by the Android operating system from those available from other carriers. Not every Android-powered phone offered by Verizon has carried the Droid moniker. Some of us think this is because the Droid name implies higher-end devices. In the case of the Droid Maxx 2, that’s absolutely the case, and from what we’ve seen, it’s worthy of the name.When asked about the naming of the Droid Maxx 2, Rick Osterloh, Motorola’s CEO ...

HTC is no stranger to making striking hardware that performs well, but most of us likely think of the flagship One lineup when we hear the name HTC. The Desire brand, however, is a little bit different. Way back in the day, the original HTC Desire was basically a Nexus One with an optical sensor instead of the Nexus’ roller ball. Since then the Desire family has slid into the mid-tier realm, and such is the case with the HTC Desire 626 which was just launched on AT&T.Like prior phones that carried the Desire moniker, this phone is a pleasant plastic unit with front-firing ...

If the Galaxy Note 5 and its S Pen aren’t quite your style, maybe a dual edge will do the trick. It’s easy to just call the S6 edge+ a blown up Galaxy S6 edge and call it a day, but is that really the case? Well, in a lot of ways, yes.The design, while bigger, is nearly identical to the original S6 edge, with the trademark ...

So remember yesterday when I unboxed the OnePlus 2 and removed the free included screen protector, thinking it was part of the packaging? Yeah, I’m kind of a n00b when it comes to OnePlus phones.

The Galaxy S6 Active isn’t Samsung’s first attempt at a ruggedized flagship smartphone. It was beaten to the punch by 2013’s Galaxy S 4 Active and last year’s Galaxy S5 Active, both of which we reviewed here at Pocketnow. Our ultimate buy/don’t buy recommendation on the Galaxy S6 Active will have to wait until we’re finished with our full review process, but after 24 ...
