Samsung Galaxy S7 edge Review: Finally The Real Deal (Video)

Posted on March 19, 2016 by Jaime Rivera

Samsung’s website claims that one of the reasons to buy a Galaxy S7 edge is because hey – It’s a Galaxy. Because your phone should give you the freedom to do more. And it’s the least that it should do given the pretty penny you’re investing for one. But does it finally live up to all that marketing hype?Not sure if you’ve noticed, but every time that we’ve reviewed a Galaxy flagship, there was always something missing. The Galaxy S5 had expandable everything, but we hated it’s cheap plastic. The Galaxy S6 brought amazing build quality, but then expandability ...

Motorola Moto 360 2nd Gen review (Video)

Posted on November 4, 2015November 4, 2015 by Michael Fisher

Motorola captured the adoration of a tech geek nation with its first Android wearable. The first-generation Moto 360 was a round-faced anomaly in a sea of squares, a distinctive wristwatch that actually looked like a timepiece, rather than a piece of technology.Its sequel updates the original’s underpowered processor and brings additional sizing options and a lot more Moto Maker customization, but leaves other controversial aspects intact. The “flat tire” at the bottom of the display ...

Huawei P8 Lite review: still not stepping up

Posted on June 27, 2015June 27, 2015 by Jules Wang

Huawei dropped the “Ascend” branding for its fleet-leading device line, starting with the Huawei P8. But no one can deny that the company and the Chinese mobile tech sector has ascended in renown, innovation and sales. The problem is that these manufacturers are running out of new people to sell to. With the home market transitioning from sales growth to upgrade maintenance, the ...

Pebble Time review: function over form

Posted on June 25, 2015June 25, 2015 by Michael Fisher

It was over two years ago that we gave you a taste of life on the very first Pebble – the product that smashed crowdfunding records and almost singlehandedly launched the modern smartwatch era. The little Bluetooth wearable would go on to sell over a million units in both standard and Steel trims, and when the sequel Pebble Time hit Kickstarter this past March, it broke another record by being the first Kickstarter ...

Nokia Lumia 830 review: midrange yes, flagship no (Video)

Posted on February 3, 2015 by Michael Fisher

The Lumia 830’s model number might be a full hundred digits below Windows Phone’s true flagship, but the step down in prestige also brings a step down in size: at 8.5mm and 150g, the Lumia 830 is a very palm-friendly, very pocketable little Windows Phone. The sides are cool aluminum and the back is a polycarbonate panel available in several colors and adorned with the old NOKIA logo – one of the last uses of the legacy branding ...

BlackBerry Classic review: the very best of yesterday (Video)

Posted on January 22, 2015 by Michael Fisher

Openly carrying a BlackBerry in 2015 is an invitation to be interrupted. You’re bound to be asked by some well-meaning friend or nosey stranger, “is that a BlackBerry? Do people still use those?” And while the answer to both questions is an unqualified yes, the more interesting question (to me) is “what’s that like?” Thanks to the fine folks at GSM Nation and US Mobile, I had the opportunity to spend a couple weeks finding out. The result is the BlackBerry Classic review video below.During my time with the BlackBerry Classic, I took pages and pages of notes over several ...

Galaxy Note Edge review: the ultimate expression of Samsung’s smartphone philosophy (Video)

Posted on December 12, 2014 by Michael Fisher

A manufacturer’s “smartphone philosophy” might seem like a lofty concept dreamed up by a reviewer big on thesauri and light on sleep, but it’s actually pretty easy to summarize with a quick story from Barcelona. A couple years ago at MWC, Editor-in-Chief Anton D. Nagy and I found ourselves at a briefing being shown a new Samsung product due for release. When we remarked that a competing product from another manufacturer exhibited more overall polish and cohesiveness, Samsung’s response was quick and blunt:“Yeah, but ours can do ...

LG G Watch R review: a solid smartwatch at a steep price (Video)

Posted on November 18, 2014 by Michael Fisher

If you’re shopping for a new smartwatch in the Google Play Store, you’re faced with a sea of choices from chic to super-minimal … but only one stands out as a watch that would survive an extended dose of real-world use and abuse. If that’s the kind of thing that winds your crown, then the LG G Watch R is very possibly your next Android Wear smartwatch.The G Watch R brings more to the table than its hulking stainless-steel body, of course. Its P-OLED display is just as sharp and vibrant as the Super AMOLED on Samsung’s Gear Live, and it’s a perfect circle to boot. ...

Motorola DROID Turbo review (Video)

Posted on November 12, 2014 by Michael Fisher

On paper, Motorola’s latest DROID carries on the brand’s storied legacy in spectacular fashion. A tablet-sized battery mated to a searing hot processor and a super-sharp display, with the whole thing wrapped in a splashproof casing of metallized glass (or better yet, ballistic nylon). “This is what the Moto X should have been!” cried the commenters on our initial hands-on several weeks back.Well, maybe not. While the DROID ...

HTC One M8 for Windows review, abridged: what’s hot and not in 60 seconds (Video)

Posted on August 28, 2014 by Michael Fisher

There are folks out there who don’t have the time for a ten-minute video or a 3,000-word review, and they certainly don’t have an hour to absorb a meandering podcast (no matter how many awards it’s won). These people might be sneaking a quick YouTube fix on a bathroom break, trying to make a point to a rival smartphone owner at a bar, or even standing in line at a wireless retail ...

Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport review: running on empty (Video)

Posted on August 7, 2014 by Michael Fisher

There was a time, here in the States, when each wireless carrier boasted its own variant of almost every flagship Android smartphone. Verizon had its DROID line, Sprint pushed the Evo series, AT&T thought up names like “Galaxy S II Skyrocket” and the pre-Legere T-Mobile USA … well, it basically took whatever manufacturers decided to give it. This was the time of ridiculous customization for customization’s sake, of top-tier devices segregated by features and design at the fickle whim of carriers, of ridiculous brand names like the Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport review: running on empty (Video) appeared first on Pocketnow.
