Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus supports long-term software support!
With the Galaxy S26 Plus, Samsung is offering 7 years of major Android OS upgrades and 7 years of security patches, which is currently the longest in the flagship smartphones. I am hoping to see this trend in other brands, too, because I feel hardware alone cannot do enough to make a phone secure and updated.
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.

Classic Nokia will return, will it take us back to the good old times?
Nokia phones have been out of our sights for a while since Microsoft bought its mobile business in 2014. The terms of trade claimed that Nokia shouldn't set foot in the mobile device market.

Furthermore, they made a decade plan in order to continue their legendary accomplishment. Majority of the people who were born in 80s and older have used Nokia at least once. If you didn't, you must have heard of the classic Nokia ring tone.

There were the times you could easily find a repair shop to get your Nokia fixed without sending back to the dealers.
Sometimes you don't realize how good the good old days were until they're gone. I'm not a person who like reminiscent, but when I do, it's because of Nokia. The Nokia phones has the outstanding quality but cheap, long lasting battery life and convenient customer service.
However, the world is changing fast, especially, in the smartphone industry. Brands and manufactories release new product every month. Hardware and design are getting similar. And according to the Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker from IDC, the market share of Android OS reaches 82.8% by the end of 2015Q2, Windows Phone dropped to 2.6% because of the lack of compatibility. Furthermore, the profit is getting transparent and shrinking.
Besides, there are more quality and cheap smartphone brands from China hitting on the market. Oukitel K10000 is one of the example. The phone features weekly lasting battery life of 10000mAh, solid quality and good performance. From the price point and overall design, Oukitel fans said that Oukitel is the Chinese Nokia.
