2017 can be regarded as a year of signs and wonders in terms
of technology. With just few days to step out of the year, I will be sharing my
on view on best smartphones of the year.
of technology. With just few days to step out of the year, I will be sharing my
on view on best smartphones of the year.
Talking about the best, I am not just seating my conclusion
on the outside build of the phones, though, it’s one of the criteria. Criteria
includes the build, display, power and others, even inclusion of the quality of
audience and attention received from the world – yes, talking about marketing
here. So let the journey begin.
7. LG
V30
V30
This can be classified as BEST HANDSET FOR MUSIC LOVERS. The maker of this smartphone have
always been seen as second fiddle to Samsung by many, even though it has never
and for me I don’t wish so, for competition purpose. The LG V30 is a pure
beauty to behold. The launching of this phone pushed LG one of the best
smartphone makers for this year. The phone’s 6-inch OLED display almost reaches
the phone’s edges, what we call “bezel-less” and its design is among the best
around.

The Chinese company OnePlus made a pretty name for itself in
the smartphone market despite poor mainstream advertising in the U.S. and other
market. OnePlus enter the fame of honour
after producing some impressive handsets, and yet selling them for in prices
that appears not profitable to the company.

This is ultimately the BEST BIG-SCREEN SMARTPHONE. The heir

to the Samsung Galaxy Note 4/5 has finally been launched today – meet the

Traditionally, Notes have been more or less alike to the
Galaxy S-series flagship of the respective year, only with a bigger display and
an S-Pen. Not this one, though – with the Galaxy Note8 Samsung finally takes
the plunge into dual camera territory. And not just any dual camera – it’s the
best one there is, Samsung says. They might have a point, we theorize, looking
at the specs.

They say the future is here with iPhone X. It is the most
premium of premium devices that cough out a price tag from $1,000 for unlocked
one. iPhone X is truly an incredible skill from Apple.

We have finally seen what the Generation X phone looks like
after several rumors. 10 years after the launch of the phone that redefined
what we know as “smartphone” today, the iPhone X (marked ten) has been
officially unveiled today. 10 years ago, most smartphone owners used keypads
but now touchscreen has taken over their fingers.

what we know as “smartphone” today, the iPhone X (marked ten) has been
officially unveiled today. 10 years ago, most smartphone owners used keypads
but now touchscreen has taken over their fingers.
The iPhone X uses the company’s first AMOLED display on a
phone (after a couple of years of experience with the Apple Watch). The screen
panel is called Super Retina Display and measures 5.8″ big with 458ppi
pixel density (the sharpest iPhone yet, the resolution is 1,125 x 2,436px).
Both HDR10 and Dolby Vision are supported and the panel offers a whopping
million-to-one-contrast ratio (3D touch is still here).

The bezels that are so familiar to Apple buyers have melted
away, leading to an odd shoreline up north – the selfie camera, earpiece and
several new sensors live there. They enable FaceID, the replacement of TouchID
(there’s no fingerprint reader on the iPhone X at all!).
away, leading to an odd shoreline up north – the selfie camera, earpiece and
several new sensors live there. They enable FaceID, the replacement of TouchID
(there’s no fingerprint reader on the iPhone X at all!).
FaceID uses a flood illuminator (so it works in the dark)
and a projector that paints 30,000 points on your face (sounds similar to the
Kinect). The system is much more secure than TouchID, with a failure rate of
1,000,000 to 1 (fingerprints are good for 50,000:1). Apple warned that
identical twins will likely be able to fool it, though.

Also app support is easy – if it works with TouchID, it
works with FaceID. This includes Apple Pay, naturally! Note that Apple used 3D
masks to test the system and they didn’t work – to unlock the phone, you need
to pay attention to the phone.
