Samsung Unveils 5.5-inch Smartphone Display Prototype for VR: The electronic giant i.e. Samsung has unveiled a smartphone display screen with the 4K resolution. At Display week conference in San Francisco’s, Samsung showed off 5-inch 4K Amoled display for smartphones meant especially for the virtual reality or VR.

Samsung Unveils 5.5-inch Smartphone Display Prototype for VR

Virtual reality has really got boost it needed after the Google unleashed its Daydream project at I/O this year. In the meanwhile, many smartphone-based VR headsets are also hitting the market, where the users can slip their smartphones in and can experience immersive viewing. The virtual reality viewing is limited to resolution that the smartphone provides. Today most of the smartphones have a full-HD (1080/1920 pixels) display and many go so far as QHD (1440/2560 pixels) providing the better experience in VR.

However, the 4K (2160/3840 pixels) resolution display will elevate viewing experience in the virtual reality and in San Francisco judging by Samsung’s small display and 4K display on the smartphones may soon become the reality.

The company claims that the 4K UHD at the Display Week was just a prototype and it boasts of 806ppi pixel density, 350nit brightness and 97 percent colour gamut. With the Galaxy Note 5, Samsung was rumoured to bring 4K display but that does not happen and the phablet adopted a QHD display of 1440/2560 pixels. The Note 6 has been also tipped off to come with the 4K display, however the contradicting reports of 2K QHD display also have surfaced. The Samsung Galaxy Note 6 is expected to include a 6GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a Snapdragon 820 SoC and 12-megapixel rear camera with the Dual Pixel setup.Needless to say, all the rumors must take with the pinch of salt until the official release.

Xiaomi Mi Max Review

Introduction

6 years since its inception, Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi is still busy selling quality handsets at pupil-dilating prices. The Mi Max is its newest proposition – a gargantuan 6.44-inch phablet with a sleek metal body, nice specs, and seemingly great value for the ~$230 that Xiaomi wants for the base model. Is this another fledgling success for Xiaomi? Well, let's see!

Unabashedly enormous it may be, but Xiaomi's phablet exhibits trim bezels and sides, a sleek metal body, and reasonable weight. Make no mistake, it's still a device that few jean pockets can contain, and it does demand two-handed usage, but it's not uncomfortable. Unlocking it with the fingerprint sensor on the back is quick and feels natural. We are also fond of the power and volume keys which are tight and sturdy. Overall, we think the Mi Max's design and build quality rank pretty well in its peculiar class. We would have loved a USB Type-C port in place of the microUSB one, though – it's a somewhat dated component on an otherwise modern device.

Samsung Galaxy A9 (2016) Review

Introduction

Samsung's 2016 A-series is truly something. Retaining the slightly less-rounded rectangular shape of the 2015 A-series (compared to the flagship S-series), the new handsets have adopted a more gracious, sophisticated glass design. What's more, Samsung has added some additional size variations to choose from, the biggest of which being the Galaxy A9 – a 6" behemoth that impresses with both size and posture.

At a price ranging from $450 to $500, the Galaxy A9 is easier to acquire than Samsung's top-shelf Galaxy S7 edge, yet most consumers will probably have a difficult time finding the spots where the corner-cutting has been done. If you happen to love large... no, HUGE screens, this may be the phablet you've always wanted.

Design

Some say, with a somewhat negative connotation, that metal has become the new plastic when it comes to phone design. If you happen to second this view, then I'd assume you are going to like the Galaxy A9, with its elegant glass exterior. Yes, it'll be easier to crack; yes, it'll attract more fingerprints, but it sure as hell looks and feels fancy!

The design of the Samsung Galaxy A9 is among its main selling points: you can get it in three different colors: white, gold and 'pink gold', with the latter two having a black front. All three options are quite attractive. The metal side frame is colored appropriately for the three variations, and I'm pleased to say the company has excercised enough care so as to smooth out all the edges, making for a phone that feels genuinely good in the hand.

'Solid' and 'substantial' are two words I would definitely use to describe the Galaxy A9. The phone doesn't feel flimsy or plasticky like the Xiaomi Mi5, for example, but nice and solid – it makes you feel confident that it's not going to fall apart easily. And then, having in mind the imposing dimensions and scale-tipping weight of 7.05 oz (200 g), the A9 sure is substantial enough – so much so that it easily outweighs other big and heavy handsets like the iPhone 6s Plus (6.77 oz | 192 g) and the Galaxy Note 5 (6.03 oz | 171 g). However, considering there's a massive, 6" display mounted on the Galaxy A9, such figures are definitely to be expected.

Also worthy of note: as it's become the norm for recent higher-end Samsung handsets, the buttons (home, volume, power) are all clicky and easy to press, with a nicely defined tacticle feedback.

The Galaxy A9, being a higher-tier handset, comes with a fingerprint scanner built into its home button, just like the S7 or Note 5. The scanner also works in a similar fashion: it's mostly quick and responsive, though its accuracy tends to go south the more careless the user becomes with their finger positioning.

One feature the Galaxy A9 does lack, compared to Samsung's 2016 flagships, the S7 and S7 edge, is water-resistance. This is one area where we can say a corner has been cut in order to keep the price of the phone more accessible.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Active vs Galaxy S7 edge vs Galaxy S7: battle royale

The arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Active could have easily skipped your attention. It's okay, we will fill you in! Announced yesterday as an AT&T-exclusive, the S7 Active is the latest rugged phone to join the ranks. 

With a durable body and shatter-proof Gorilla Glass 4 screen, the new device can certainly take a beating before succumbing its soul to the Happy hunting grounds. It's also IP68-certified, meaning it can survive for up to 30 minutes in a couple of feet of water and live to tell the tale. Oh, and it also has a new, customizable hardware button on the right side - useful for launching a certain app while you're in a hurry or an emergency.

It's also improving the specs sheet. Apart from boasting a Snapdragon 820, 4GB RAM, and 12MP f/1.7 camera, the S7 Active also has a 4,000mAh in its belly - that sounds really promising and suggests that it will certainly lap the regular S7 and S7 edge in any battery life test.
