Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra AMOLED LTPO Display Feels Premium Every Day
The AMOLED LTPO display on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is stellar. It is making my content consumption an immersive experience. I have noticed that while I am watching movies, the deeper contrast enhances my viewing. It is really fun watching videos!
Is the 1048 x 948 FlexWindow sharp enough for actually reading things?
The Flip8's 10.48cm Super AMOLED FlexWindow has a 1048 x 948 resolution. Since Samsung has expanded what you can do from the cover screen, I am wondering how comfortable it is for actually reading instead of just checking notifications.

Vivo S2 dummy units are going to launch in India on August 6. The phone will be sporting a 1.5K AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7360 chipset. If these leaks are accurate, do you think it is going to be a strong competitor for the 40k segment?

Budget smartwatches during the Amazon sale
Planning to get a new smartwatch that does not burn a hole in my pocket. I have noticed that the affordable ones are offering features such as AMOLED displays, Bluetooth calling, and health tracking. But how reliable are they? Any good options with better deals to look for?
Best smartwatch under Rs. 5,000?
I’m planning to buy a budget smartwatch mainly for step tracking and important notifications. AMOLED display is a must and decent battery life would be nice since I don’t want to charge it daily. Calling feature would also be helpful.
Under Rs. 5,000, which watch would you recommend?
Mobile Professional Reviews--Oppo R5 review
Oppo's R5 is a seriously gorgeous phone. Clad in metal, it's super-thin -- just 4.85mm (0.19 inches) deep, and it weighs a scant 155 grams (5.5 ounces). It's certainly impressive, but this comes at the loss of the 3.5mm audio jack, so you'll have to use Bluetooth headphones if you want to listen to music. For Android fans envious of the iPhone 6 's slim frame, well, look no further. The R5's ultra-slim body beats the iPhone handily, and will draw envious stares from other Android owners as well. But slimness isn't all that great without the performance to back it up, and this is where the phone falters. It's oftentimes sluggish, and the camera takes forever to start up. The phone's thin frame also doesn't help with the heat and it can get uncomfortably hot at times. Oppo hasn't yet revealed exact dates for the phone's availability, but the Chinese company intends to sell it globally, either through its online store or working in partnership with local distributors. What I do know is that there will be three versions due to the different LTE bands -- one for the US, one for China and one for the rest of the world. Price wise, the R5 will be sold at $449, which converts to roughly £310. It will also come unlocked, so you'll be able to use the phone on 3G mostly everywhere. The R5 is encased in metal -- with a hand-polished steel frame and, on the back, brushed aluminum. This gives the phone a premium feel that you'd expect from a more expensive device. The two-tone color scheme (either white and silver or white and gold) at the back does draw comparisons to Apple's iPhone designs, but the shape of the phone is much more angular. Despite being thinner, it doesn't feel as slippery as the iPhone. One downside to the thin frame of the phone is that the rear 13-megapixel sticks out, much like Apple's iPhone. However, unlike the small bump of the iPhone 6, the R5's rear camera pops out a fair way, enough that it makes the phone uneven when placed on a flat surface. The R5 sports a 5.2-inch AMOLED display, with a full HD resolution of 1,920x1,080 pixels. The screen is bright and sharp, while colors were vibrant. I do have issues with the auto-brightness settings of the phone -- it can sometimes be too dim. Like most Chinese-made smartphones, the R5 sports physical home, menu and back keys. I'm not a fan of physical keys since I feel software keys are better to interact with -- you can (depending on the OS) switch the back button to either the left or right position. The volume and power keys are on the right side, with the micro-USB port at the bottom. As mentioned earlier, there's no 3.5mm audio jack. Oppo's R5 is powered by an octa-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor, and in theory, should have enough juice to power the phone. But my experience with the device was less than satisfactory: at times the phone would pause between switching apps, for example. I reckon a software update could fix this, and I will update the review if it does. The phone packs 2GB of RAM, 16GB of onboard storage and a 2,000mAh battery. There's no microSD card slot to expand that storage, which limits the number of apps you can install and the number of tunes and movies you can keep onboard. The phone is powered by Android 4.4 KitKat -- not the latest 5.0 Lollipop -- with Oppo's custom ColorOS UI on top. The software is very much improved from the company's first version, How to move apps from an old iPhone to a new iPhone though it looks similar. For one, it's much flatter.

LeEco Le 1s - Fast & Fantastic (full review)
Display:
The LeEco or we can say LeTv Le 1s comes with a 5.5-inch full-HD IPS screen which offers 403 pixel Density (PPI). It also comes with a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protecting your screen from any kind of damage and harm screen and it also offers good sunlight visibility because of its deep blacks it offers in the screen quality. The screen quality looks sharp, crisp, with deep black which we found in devices which offers super amoled displays. The device is also having great viewing angles with great color reproduction and colors can also be adjusted by going into the setting menu. The Device comes with almost a bezel less design and due to which it looks just too awesome while in the hand.
Design and Build:
The full metallic unibody design with chamfered edges on the Le 1S look prominent and seems like it’s a high priced premium device. Very well made, a good finishing of the handset makes it you don’t want to let it go off your hands. 169 grams is a quite light weight for a 5.5-inch device having a metallic body because metals are heavier than plastics materials.
The added stuff that caught our attention is the fingerprint scanner and the USB Type-C which most of the phone in this segment do not offer. Another important thing to note is it comes with a 32 GB storage which is again a plus one.
Performance:
The Le 1S is powered by a MediaTek Helio X10 Turbo (MT6795) SoC that has 8 cores clocked at 2.2 GHz coupled with 3 GB of RAM and a PowerVR 6200 GPU. The processor is quite powerful and can handle multitasking with ease. We ran several apps to check the performance of the hardware and it turns out that we didn’t notice any single lag while performing basic operations. Apps such as Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Soundcloud, Flipkart, Shareit and few others were installed that includes games. We also did not face any crash reports from our tested apps. The performance highly fluid. The 3 GB RAM can hold as many apps for multi-tasking. The performance was mind blowing in our case.
Software & UI:
We noticed that the touch response is very fast and the software experience was very smooth and intuitive. There aren’t any preinstalled apps that come with Le 1S thus, it is free from any bloatware.
The user interface doesn’t offer an app drawer and a much simpler UI with everything’s on the homescreen. What I liked the most is the recent button menu. When you press the recent button, you will be presented with a plethora of shortcuts and options other than just recent apps. Usually, the recent menu on a regular smartphone consists of the apps that you have opened it and used it recently, but in this case, the LeEco did something innovative that no one did. They added all the shortcuts that a user wants on a single button, that means, no one will have to swipe the notifications bar as well as to go inside the settings.
Camera:
The Le 1s has a 13-megapixel Rear Camera and a 5-megapixel Front Camera. It’s camera interface is quite simple. Talking about custom settings, you can adjust the white balance, ISO level, exposure, sharpness, saturation and contrast levels. It comes with four modes to choose from – standard, panorama, video, slow motion. It comes with different colour filters and users can preview before they are shot. The rear camera focuses the object very fast and captures good images in daylight. The rear camera can also shoot 4K Videos, which is impressive. While using the camera we also noticed that both the cameras detects the face very fast and captures images without any shutter lag. The camera captures good amount of details in daylight while just like its other competitors in the market, the camera lacks low-light photography. Overall, both the cameras performs very well and captures good pictures.
Verdict:
The LeEco Le 1s is a Premium Smartphone which offers great specifications. It is the best smartphone available right now at this price range. The Le 1s with 3GB of Ram, full-metal unibody design, USB Type-C and fingerprint sensor is ruling the budget segment. The smartphone is exclusively available on Flipkart. Highly Recommended
Oukitel K6000 Premium Leaks - 6GB Of RAM, 6,000mah Battery, Touch ID
According to the source in Oukitel, they are going to have a new device named OUKITEL K6000 Premium in next few months. Oukitel redesign the appearance of K6000 Premium to make the phone a true premium piece. We’re talking about Oukitel K6000 Premium which will feature 6GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage according to our source at the company. According to the info, this handset will sport a curved glass back, and will ship with a 13-megapixel camera on both its back and front side. Sony’s IMX258 13-megapixel sensor will be utilized on the device’s back, and we still don’t know which sensor will be used up front (quite probably one of OmniVision’s sensors), but we do know that the company will include a front-facing LED flash here as well. Anyway, the dual 13MP cameras are very attractive for those who like selfies. Besides, the K6000 Premium will carry a curved glass-smooth back cover like Samsung Galaxy S7, a 5.5-inch AMOLED FHD display, Helio X20 chip set clocked at 2.5GHz, Android 6.0 OS, fingerprint sensor and Hi-Fi audio. Those all seems amazing, but don't know when it is available and what the price is. Source: androidheadlines.com
