The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is an incredibly good flagship smartphone, and one thing that makes it such a joy to use is its level of performance. Powered by Samsung’s very own Exynos 9810 chipset, just how powerful is the Galaxy Note 9? Well, very powerful. Couple that high level of performance with the Note 9’s water carbon cooling system, and you have yourself a very capable device perfectly suited for long gaming sessions. First, let’s get to know the Exynos 9810 further. Made up of four high performance custom cores clocked at 2.7GHz and another four low-power 1.8GHz Cortex-A55 cores, the Note 9 balances performance and power efficiency very well.

Apple has announced a brand new (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, available later this week.he new generation of iPhone in a stunning red finish. Both phones sport a beautiful glass enclosure, now in red, with a matching aluminum band and a sleek black front. For iPhone X, there is no new hardware per se; Apple is releasing a new (PRODUCT)RED leather folio case though. Apple says the new (PRODUCT)RED iPhone will be available to order from April 10. Last year, Apple kicked off the PRODUCT(RED) tradition with special edition versions of iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in the spring. This special color was made available until the iPhone 8 and iPhone X debuted in the fall. There was a lot of criticism with the iPhone 7 in PRODUCT(RED) design, primarily because Apple opted to go with a white bezel finish and silver home button. This year, the company has gone for black bezels and red chassis, with a silver Apple logo on the rear, which honestly looks so much better. In...

People who are less emotionally stable are more likely to be addicted to their smartphones, according to a new research study. A  team of psychologists from the University of Derby and Nottingham Trent University conducted an online study with 640smartphone   users, aged 13-69, to find out the association between smartphone use and personality traits. The study found that people who struggle with their mental health are more likely to intensively use their smartphone as a form of therapy and that the less conscientious individuals are, the more likely they are to be addicted to their phones. It also revealed that as anxiety levels increase in an individual, the more they use their smartphone. Dr. Zaheer Hussain, Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Derby, said: "With 4.23 billion smartphones being used around the world, smartphone use has become a necessity in the lives of many individuals. "Problematic smartphone use is more complex than previously thought ...

Both of the flagship smartphones show that Apple and Samsung are headed in a similar trajectory in terms of device innovation, Samsung's S9 was always going to be the only Android phone that could compete with the hype and fanfare around Apple's launch of the iPhone X - but now that both mobiles are out, how do they compare? Immediately the iPhone X is considerably more expensive than the smartphone offered by Samsung, but both come as premiums to their previous generations. This hasn't manifested in a size change for Samsung. Just like the S8, the S9 measures 5.8in (14.6cm) from corner to corner - the standard method for measuring rectangular smartphones. The iPhone X has a 5.8in display too, well up on the 4.7in display on the iPhone 8 - and even larger than the iPhone 8 Plus, which measures only 5.5in from corner to corner. The iPhone's "edge-to-edge" screen had been highly anticipated, but the "notch" in its front was widely ...

KGI Securities’ Ming-chi Kuo has been highly regarded for his analyses and forecasts for upcoming Apple products. While many of them have indeed come to pass, they do sometimes sound too good, or too bad, to be true. While we’re still more than half a year away from a new iPhone, the ball has started rolling on what this year’s lineup will be like. The 6.-1 inch iPhone has already been suggested but now Kuo stirring things up again with a larger, 6.5-inch iPhone X Plus. The 6.1-inch iPhone is going to be odd in a few ways. First is its “Goldilocks” size of being in the middle of the regular iPhone X size and the new iPhone X Plus. Second is that it will only have one main camera instead of the iPhone X’s two. And finally, it will be using a LCD screen instead of OLED. RELATED POST: Apple iPhone Price Listing It’s not all bad. For one, the 6.1-inch iPhone will have a larger battery capacity than last year’s iPhone X despite using a rectangular battery rather than the ...
