Samsung outs Galaxy Core II, Galaxy Young 2 and Galaxy Star 2

Samsung announced today the Galaxy Core II, Galaxy Young 2 and Galaxy Star 2, the successors to some of the best-selling affordable droids last year.
Samsung Galaxy Core II
Samsung Galaxy Core II is the most powerful device among the newly announced phones. It comes with a 4.5" WVGA display and runs on a quad-core 1.2GHz processor. The rest of the specs include 768MB of RAM, 4GB expandable storage, a 5MP rear camera with a LED flash, a VGA front snapper, and a 2,000mAh battery.


Samsung Galaxy Core II offers fast 3G connectivity with 21Mbps downlink, dual-SIM, Wi-Fi N, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS with GLONASS and FM radio. It runs on Android 4.4 KitKat and will become available in White and Black flavors.
Samsung Galaxy Young 2
Samsung Galaxy Young 2 is a very little fella with a 3.5" HVGA display and it is powered by a 1.0GHz single-core processor. It comes with half a gig RAM, 4GB expandable memory, a 3MP fixed-focus rear camera, and a 1,300 mAh battery.


Galaxy Young 2 is running on KitKat too, and has the same connectivity package as the Core II - 3G, dual-SIM, Wi-Fi N, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0 and FM radio. It will come in white and iris charcoal colors.
Samsung Galaxy Star 2
The Galaxy Star 2 should be even cheaper than the Young 2. It is pretty much the same phone though skipping the 3G connectivity and downgrading the rear camera to 2MP. The rest is the same - a 3.5" HVGA display, a 1GHz processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB internal storage with a microSD slot.


Just like the Young 2, the Star 2 offers dual-SIM, Wi-Fi N, GPS, Bluetooth and FM radio. The Android version in charge of operations is still 4.4 KitKat. You will be able to get the Galaxy Star 2 in white and iris charcoal paintjobs, too.
Availability
Samsung is yet to detail the pricing and availability any of the three smartphones.

iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone 8 now rule DxOMark's rankings with best smartphone cameras ever tested

Image
With sales of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus starting today, DxOMark has published comprehensive reviews of both handsets' cameras. Lo and behold, they have jumped straight to the first two spots in the DxOMark rankings, leaving the HTC U11 and Google Pixel in the dust. The Pixel used to be the king of DxO until the U11 got the same score of 90. Now though, the iPhone 8 Plus' camera becomes the best that the lab has ever tested, with a score of 94. The iPhone 8's shooter isn't far behind, ranked No.2 with its 92 points. The iPhone 8 Plus shines in picture taking, with a record-breaking Photo score of 96, while for recording videos it gets a score of 89 - tied with the HTC U11 and slightly below the Pixel's 91. The iPhone 8 Plus has "outstanding image quality" and "an industry-leading Portrait mode". It is at the top of the charts in nearly every category, while its advanced software means it does "an amazing job" ...

Google confirms that it's launching two flagship Android Wear smartwatches in early 2017

Image
Two reports from a few months ago claimed that Google was working on two high-end smartwatches of its own, which were supposed to debut alongside the Android Wear 2.0 release this year. But then the new version of the company's wearable OS got delayed until 2017, and so we assumed the launch of the watches was postponed for that reason. It turns out that's exactly what happened. Today Jeff Chang, Google's product manager of Android Wear, has confirmed that the company is developing two flagship smartwatches which will be on the market in the first quarter of next year (so before March 31). These will be the first devices to launch running Android Wear 2.0, but then throughout 2017 we'll reportedly see more watches powered by the new OS version, from other partners. Some of those may even present their wearables at CES in January, while others will wait for Baselworld in March. Google's watches will not be Pixel-branded as you may have expected...

Samsung explains the new tech behind the Galaxy S5 Super AMOLED display

Image
While much fuss has been made out of the Galaxy S5 display – the company’s 1080p Super AMOLED diamond matrix having been around since the Galaxy S4, after all – it turns out that Samsung has put quite a bit of work into making its latest panel the best ever. The company has posted some interesting demos of the new capabilities baked into the Galaxy S5 display, including local contrast enhancement for bright conditions, Adapt Display tech for different lighting, and different color realization modes for display photos. Local contrast enhancement allows the display itself to analyze and segment the display under different lighting conditions, meaning that it can change both the illumination and contrast level, including the ability to dim the display even further to avoid eye strain from excessive brightness in dark conditions. Adapt Display on the S5 means that the display will automatically change according to surrounding lighting conditions, including color ran...

Huawei sends invites for IFA event, teases new Honor phone

Image
Huawei has sent us an invite to its event that will take place on September 4 in Berlin, on the eve of the IFA trade show. As you can see below, it's not the most descriptive of invites. We should apparently witness an "exciting announcement", but neither the text, nor the image give us any indication of what will be presented there. That said, a rumor from a couple of days ago claimed that the company would out the Ascend Mate 3 in September, and IFA could be the perfect venue for such an unveiling. Anyway, if this is what will be announced, expect the Ascend Mate 3 to star in many more leaks over the coming weeks. In China, Huawei is set to release yet another Honor-branded smartphone. The latest we've seen so far in the series is the Honor 6, which got official in June. Now though Huawei wants you to guess how much the upcoming Honor will cost (in yuan, of course). The price is a three digit number, and the last two are given to you: they're both ni...
