Test: Samsung Galaxy Note 7 – Le Journal du Geek

It was in the middle of summer, to calmly prepare the IFA 2016 , Samsung announced its new flagship smartphone, the Galaxy Note7 (note that there is no space between and Note 7). The range Galaxy Note has always had the fervor of the audience and I still remember the announcement of the first Galaxy Note with its screen size XXL (5.3 inches, do you realize) at IFA 2011, which has become a standard nowadays.

After a Galaxy Note 5 who had shunned Europe, we are happy with the return of the child prodigy among us, especially us , the pen users. I remind you that there was no Note6 Galaxy and the transition to figure 7 allows Samsung to now have consistency between its high-end smartphones the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note range.

as you may have noticed, the Galaxy Note7 is very close to the Galaxy S7 edge in terms of technical features and finishing. The differences are in design, slightly revised, the significantly larger screen and the presence of course the S Pen and Iris sensor. As for the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge, Samsung has opted not to support the Storage Adoptable Google technology. It may, however applications installed on the memory card by having them previously installed on the main memory.

packaging side, you can imagine that the Korean brand will not revolutionize the genre; Now, the product comes in a box that unfolds. Well, that frankly brings nothing but it’s always nice. We thus find the rectangular cardboard box and not surprisingly, with the eternal micro-USB cable (Type-C), USB charger, headphones / hands-free kits in-ear with a flat cable in a box, and operating instructions for a first grip. Nothing original so well if not the headphones that are doing quite well and I found quite comfortable. Note also the presence of a C-USB adapter to Micro-USB and USB to USB-C-A.

For its price, count 849 euros.

Samsung delays deliveries of Galaxy Note 7 following the explosion … – Le Journal du Geek

Samsung has suspended shipments of its new Galaxy Note 7 in some parts of the world to conduct additional quality tests. Some users of the phone would thus have seen their phone battery exploded while he was in charge.

many Asian media, Reuters reports that Samsung has decided to suspend part of the deliveries of the Galaxy Note 7.” Galaxy Note 7 shipments were delayed in order to conduct quality testing product , “said the Korean brand Reuters. Samsung did not specify the nature of these tests nor which markets will be affected by these delays in delivery

bad USB cables C-type in question

This decision.? – rare and radical – from Samsung comes as many Asian media reported that users of the Galaxy Note 7 have seen their smartphone’s battery exploded while being recharged. SamMobile and reports that at least two explosions occurred in less than a week, one in China and one in South Korea.

the Galaxy Note 7

These two explosions seem to have something in common: both phones were being reloaded. In the case of the first explosion, which occurred in China, the phone owner had used a charger and a USB Type-C third, not the one supplied with the phone. It is very likely a cable or a poor quality charger may have caused a malfunction. Samsung has in any case recovered both PHABLET and is currently investigating these explosions.

For now, we do not know if the French release date of Galaxy Note 7 will be delayed in France. Recall that it is scheduled for 4 September. As for our test phone, it will be released in the evening.

While demand for the Galaxy Note 7, Samsung’s new flagship product, is extremely high, customers will have to arm themselves patience before you can surf their new PHABLET.

After logistical problems, the South Korean giant announced Wednesday for delivery delays due to additional quality controls. “Deliveries of the Galaxy Note 7 are pushed back due to new product quality testing,” said Samsung in the news agency Reuters, without giving further details.

Battery Problems?

Meanwhile, local media reported that some buyers of the smartphone, launched in South Korea and other countries this month, had complained that the smartphone battery exploded. If this problem is confirmed, it could be very detrimental to the group, which relies on this new product to keep the second half dynamically maintained the previous six months by the new Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, who made a hit with users.

The manufacturer today dominates a market that is full. Global sales of smartphones grew by only 0.3% in the second quarter according to IDC.

Moreover, problems of producing curved screens had led to disappointing sales of the smartphone Galaxy S6 Edge last year and some investors fear that history repeats itself if Samsung does not react quickly

Samsung Galaxy S7 Active: Test and reviews – CNET France – CNET France

In our first test of the Active Galaxy S7, we praised for its beautiful screen 2560 x 1440 pixels, a swift processor, the presence of a microSD card slot and an excellent 12-megapixel camera. It also has the biggest battery that Samsung has ever put in a smartphone.

Although the Active S7 does not carry the same elegant made of metal and glass design as the Galaxy S7, it offers an impact-resistant screen, physical buttons and a reinforced hull military grade. One of its most popular features was watertight. According to Samsung, the Active could be submerged in 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes. But our tests have shown that this was not always true.

and when the S7 Active failed the leak tests conducted by Consumer Reports, we decided to conduct new assessments . Two of the four models we had failed this another series of tests and we decided to lower the overall rating of the smartphone from 8.8 to 8. Since then, Samsung has issued a statement explaining that he had identified and solved a problem on a production line. We therefore renew our tests to see what it is.

Although it is generally a good phone, it is difficult to recommend it confidence. However, we believe it will not be a concern in normal use (that is to say without immerse in water for 28 minutes) and it will support a fall in the toilet for 3 minutes, which is already more than most terminals can cash.

Despite this concern to the S7 level Active behavior under water, we still recommend to all those seeking a solid top range phone. This is the S7 to choose if you do not want to use a protective case while not breaking your screen. Galaxy fans who prefer the design should in turn stick to the S7 or S7 Edge.

The Galaxy S7 Active is available in the US with the operator AT & amp; T to 795 dollars. Its marketing in France is currently not planned.

reasons to choose the Active

the resistant screen shock that can happen shell. Samsung added a protective coating over the screen and announced that the phone can withstand a drop of 1.5 meters high. We knocked several times on the pavement, gravel and wooden flooring. If the hull had some scratches, the screen did not move.

Note that the hull of the Active is military grade. To fast is an S7 with a big shell around. True, it is not very attractive, but it ensures a good grip and especially protects the phone. As the original S7, the Active is water-proof and dust. It may fall into the toilet in the sand on the beach or fall off a table.

the Active softkey key

this is one of the least discussed features about this smartphone. This is a programmable button on the upper left hand side to launch applications. By default, pressing opens the Activity Zone fitness hub while a long press launches the DirectTV application. A double press activates the application Emergency Relief Zone that can call emergency or send a SMS preset. The good news is that we can configure the button to launch any application.

A battery endurance

the battery of 4,000 mAh is one of the most impressive we’ve seen. Is 1000 mAh of more than 400 mAh S7 and more than the Edge S7. In our video playback test loop, Active held 21:30. In other words, this smartphone can take well over a full day without flinching. For charging, one can opt for the fast wired or wireless.

reasons to hesitate

no many hard-core phones on the market and the Active is it a good thing. But this beefy design will not appeal to everyone, and not already the author of these lines. Samsung and boast of the strength of the screen, zero risk does not exist in a daily fact of unexpected, and the manufacturer does not offer guarantees as the one that goes with the Droid Turbo 2 (Moto X Force in France ) Motorola.

Unless you’re really not interested in physical buttons and seduced by this robust look, you can save money by buying a S7 and a reinforced hull.

Samsung Galaxy S8: Here are new details about their equipment … – LesMobiles.com

As announced earlier this summer, Samsung would intend to incorporate a dual camera sensor in its next flagship, the details have been an indiscretion. The webcam is also concerned.

In June, while the Galaxy Note 7 was not yet official, we reported in our columns certain details Galaxy supposed S8, the flagship that would replace the Galaxy S7 early 2017 released last spring. The leak from China then stated that the Galaxy S8 could have an Ultra HD display, such as the Xperia Z5 Premium and a dual camera sensor. A rumor that seemed to suggest that Samsung would benefit from their enthusiasm (worn by all the rumors about the next iPhone). Without specifying the nature of the dual sensor (including their definition), this equipment would be developed by Samsung Motors, the internal division of the Korean group dedicated to ISOCELL sensors.

the eye scan reader Galaxy Note 7 could equip Galaxy S8

Two different sources?

Two months have passed since, and the proposed dual sensor always seems to be valid. And the first technical elements supposedly were revealed. According to a message posted on Chinese social networks, the Galaxy S8 will have two different sensors. The first would be a 12-megapixel, certainly the same as the Galaxy S7, developed by Samsung Motors. The second is a 13 megapixel camera that Chinese source says it will be designed by Sony. The combination of the two sensors provide to Samsung the ability to offer new services in terms of focus and brightness.

Two other sensors are expected in the Galaxy S8, and they would both at the front. The first is a new webcam. This would provide a definition of 8 megapixels. It therefore replace the aging 5 megapixel camera so far used in the high-end Samsung (even in the very recent Galaxy Note 7). This should improve the pictures for lovers of selfies. The second sensor is a legacy of Gaalxy Note 7: The retinal print reader. The Galay S8 would be also provided.

A response to the competition

After the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S7, two smartphones, with their declensions, redefined in two years offer high-end Samsung Galaxy S8 certainly be the subject of much attention yet. A double sensor, better webcam, equipment inherited Note 7, an even better defined screen, certainly a technical platform even more powerful: these arguments will they live up to the expectations? He may need a little more. The question is what are the surprises that Samsung keeps in reserve.

Galaxy S8: a great concept with dual 4K screen edge and double … – Phonandroid

The Samsung Galaxy S8 will leave only next year but the rumors about him are already numerous. It would include questions that team a 4K screen and a dual camera sensor. Today the site Androidhdblog proposes a concept created by designer Andrea Sanso.

Since it is a question of the next flagship from Samsung, two rumors back constantly. That reports of a Galaxy S8 equipped with a 4K screen but also the rumor of dual camera sensor. Two very credible rumors. Samsung has never hidden that it planned to incorporate 4K displays its future smartphones in order to provide a better virtual reality experience.

As for the alleged dual camera sensor Galaxy S8, its introduction more than likely. Builders seem to put them one after the bottles. In addition, after wearing the photo on smartphone at its peak this year with the Dual Pixel image sensor S7 Galaxy remains the best in the market to date, what Samsung could propose better than a dual sensor photo that would bring tons of advantage over quality?

the third point on which Samsung could upset his habits, it would be offering only a single form factor in the ‘curved occurence for its Galaxy S8 as it did this year with its Galaxy Note 7. Knowing that PHABLET seems to have been very well received by the public with a record number of pre-orders, it’s still possible although for the Currently, no rumor has even mentioned this aspect of the device.

Note that the 4K screen of the Samsung Galaxy S8 be based on the Blue Bio technology has the advantage to show only 6 % of blue light against 32% for conventional AMOLED panels in order to preserve the user’s eyes, very close to the screen when the smartphone is placed in a VR headset.

Study design of Honor 8: as good as the Galaxy S7? – Phonandroid

As the 8 Honor was presented to great fanfare at a Parisian event, the manufacturer put forward enormously design to fight against the competition. That he is truly under his false air of Galaxy S7?

In our favorite industry, aesthetic trends are often driven by a single actor, the meeting’s most successful well obviously, while its competitors often offer “variants” around this first theme.

while the smartphone market was a time pushed by Apple, one must admit that Samsung has since taken the ahead of the aesthetics of its aircraft to the point that many builders stole his favorite features, curved screen spearhead.

Until recently, we discovered the Honor 8 and take hand for the first time in its European version. While we carry out its test, do a little focus on one of its major aspects. Design

We get a drink

The glass has always been part of the smartphone design in that it is used for the construction of the screen. Many manufacturers have started to play with it, up to the latest fashion. Called 2.5 D screens, which are actually slightly rounded at the sides to give an impression of relief

Honor 8 is no exception: after signing a design made of aluminum as builders with little inspiration often do, it comes down to what works with curved glass. At first glance, you’d see a Galaxy S7, but shades stand still.

When Samsung chooses to continue in the round of its Galaxy range, Honor slice a little design in the manner of iPhone. However, shares with his friend a Korean 2.5D screen giving a rounded appearance to the whole.

Symmetry my love

Where the device is different compared to the Galaxy S7 on its edges, which are perfectly symmetrical. Both screens front and rear glass are joined in effect on a polished metal chassis made sand accompanying the curvature thereof, giving coherence to the whole.

will we also found on the front of the device, which has no home button and favors a balanced design. Thus, the upper band and lower band on the screen have the exact same size for a screen with only a very thin edge barely visible.

All in a visual balance balanced to all, as any good unibody design must have. It does not have a breathable raw power unit, but a beautiful object which can be proudly out of his pocket to catch the eye.

15 layers as differentiator

Honor has caught a defect of Honor 7 with its latest model: the photo sensor will now spell over his body and is perfectly integrated into the whole, when the Galaxy S7 must still have some growth to integrate its sensor. In many ways, it reminds more the range A5 / A7.

But this is of course not what we notice first when you take the phone in hand, since Honor thought to integrate a truly differentiating element on this model.

this is, neither more nor less of its 15 layers of glass processed in different ways and that give her back a reflection of the unique light : it forces a color change on its design as much as it created streaks fact very aesthetic on the phone

This blue version, which was given us in testing, is also a. another of his originality factors. This “Sapphire Blue” that recalls the paintings typed “diesel” race cars

Conclusion

We feel that with this Honor 8, the Chinese brand has understood something.: a well-worked design can sometimes import for consumers than just raw performance, the latter land being taken by the OnePlus 3 of this price range.

And with this latest device, which will be more freely accessible than many of its competitors, he managed to take inspiration from all without pay in hard-copy. Quite common to be quickly accepted, unique enough to be desirable.

It may be more this balance Aura managed to Honor, while his 8 attempts to monopolize the youth with remaining sober design while bringing a little touch of madness with its color “Sapphire Blue” and his back so special.
