Does the 180g weight make the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 noticeably easier to carry all day?

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 weighs 180 grams and is 8 grams lighter than the previous generation. Since portability is one of the main reasons I’d consider a flip phone, I’m curious if that reduction is noticeable.

I never realised how much headphone weight matters until I wore a heavy pair for an entire workday

They felt comfortable for the first hour or so. After that I definitely started noticing the weight.

Is smartphone weight important when purchasing one?

For users who carry their smartphone throughout the day, whether during work, travel or long online meetings. Then the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is the ideal option for the user. It weighs just 214 grams, which is even lighter than the iPhone 17 Pro Max. It provides both a large screen and in-hand comfort. Does phone weight matter while choosing a smartphone?

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 is 201g. Does weight finally make a foldable feel like a normal phone?

The newly launched Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 weighs only 201 grams. This weight is closer to that of a normal smartphone. The bulkiness is gone, and the phone has become pocket-friendly. Foldable phones have come a long way. Does carrying a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 feel like you are carrying a normal smartphone?

I bought a tablet mainly for travel, but the weight starts bothering me after holding it for a while.

The bigger screen is great for movies and reading, but I did not think much about weight before buying.

I carry my laptop to the office every day, and the weight is becoming more annoying than the specs.

The laptop works well, but carrying it along with the charger every day is not very comfortable.

Does the 6.1mm unfolded thickness actually make the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 feel different from a normal phone?

Samsung has made the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8 6.1mm thick when unfolded and 180g in weight. I am more curious about whether this actually feels noticeably slimmer and easier to carry in daily use or if the difference is mostly on paper

Does the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8’s lighter 201g body change how you use the phone while unfolded?

I’m less interested in the weight number itself and more curious about how it affects actual handling. At 201g, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 is lighter than many people expect from a book-style foldable. Does that make a difference when you hold the 7.6-inch screen for reading or browsing?

Why do expensive headphones hurt my head?

The sound is great but after an hour I start feeling the weight. My cheaper pair is actually more comfortable.

I feel like every laptop looks thin and light until I actually put it in my bag

Online dimensions never really prepare me for carrying it around all day. Weight is starting to matter more than I expected.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra features Flex Titanium which makes it more durable.

Samsung has introduced Flex Titanium in its newly launched Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. This titanium technology provides strength while maintaining the weight of the smartphone. The goal of this technology was to give a premium finish with improved durability without adding any extra weight.

Anthropic launched 13 free AI courses along with certification.

I just came across some free AI courses which include topics such as Claude Code, Claude 101, Context Protocol, and AI Fluency. Do you think these courses will carry more weight than Udemy or Coursera courses?

Anyone Else Buy the Galaxy S26 Specifically to Avoid the Ultra?

I mainly chose the S26 because I wanted a bigger screen without dealing with the Ultra’s extra bulk, higher price, and added weight. Wondering if anyone else made the same choice.

Fitbit Air looks like Fitbit going back to basics in a good way

I have been using Fitbits for about four years. I think wearing a health tracking device alone does not help much with losing weight. I am really excited about the Fitbit Air and am considering buying one. Would you consider replacing your current fitness tracker with the Fitbit Air?

Best budget vlog camera under $800?

I'm currently looking at either the canon m50 or sony zv-1. any recommendations as to which one or any other good cameras? i'm not necessarily looking for just a good vlog camera rather something that can handle it all. I like the m50 for the interchange lenses but the zv-1 pens seems to hold its own weight very well. also debating on a gopro or osmo action because POV footage is something I would like to be able to do.

Honest review of Le1s after 2 months of usage

Hi Guys,

This is Rajesh and today I am sharing my views on the LeEco Le 1s that I have been using for the past month. Yes, we all know that LeEco, formerly known as Letv, launched two smartphones in the market - Le 1s and Le Max. The Le 1s is priced at Rs. 10999 and the Le Max (64GB) is priced at Rs. 32999. Le 1s is their lowest priced phone but at the same time gives features of a flagship phone. LeEco claims that they are selling Le 1s at lesser than BOM (Bill of Materials) price (which is more than Rs. 16000). Let’s move on to the review then.

BUILD & DESIGN
The first time I opened the box I was like “Wow, awesome!”, yes guys it looks great, it really looks fantastic. One of the most beautiful phones I have ever seen. The mirror-surfaced fingerprint sensor, a smart looking camera and all metal body - all these things make Le 1s a looker! It looks premium and it feels premium. The weight is a bit on the upper side but still with a 5.5-inch Full HD display and bezel-less design it is very handy and easy to use.
9/10

SCREEN & MULTIMEDIA
Le 1s comes with a 5.5-inch LCD IPS Display covered by Gorilla Glass 3. The display is great with awesome colours and contrast levels. It is sharp enough and watching Full HD videos on the display is a visual treat. Mediatek’s clear motion technology is there, so there is not even a single frame drop. It can compete with flagship phones for sure.
9/10

CAMERA
Le 1s comes with a 13 MP rear camera and a 5 MP front camera. Rear camera is an ISOCELL unit with PDAF and high aperture for low light capturing. Still, with all these features, this is where Le 1s suffers a bit. The daylight pictures are good with good details and natural colours but in lowlight the camera is just okay. The pictures turned out to be noisy and macro shots turned out to be “whitish” in low light. I also found some reddish tint on the photo. Front camera is good enough for video calling but for selfie lovers it will be a “hit or miss” as the camera works sometime good and sometime bad. Lots of software optimisation is needed in the camera section as the basic things like “beauty mode” is missing. I hope LeEco will release an OTA update which can rectify these issues. UPDATE: The latest OTA improved the camera experience by a huge margin – both front and rear cameras!
8.5/10

PERFORMANCE
This is where Le 1s outshines every other smartphone in the same category. Le 1s has Mediatek’s current flagship 64-bit Octa Core Processor MT6795 Turbo (aka Helio x10 Turbo) clocked at 2.2 Ghz. Almost every other smartphone in this price range uses cheaper processors while LeEco uses this flagship processor. We can find this processor even in the flagship phone of HTC M9 (Which costs almost 45 K). Le 1s also has 3GB RAM with the system using almost 1.5 GB RAM but still the phone performs very well. No lag at all. Almost every high end game plays butter smooth. I have tested Asphalt 8 and Temple Run, both run fluidly. As far as the performance is concerned, it is really a beast. It warms a little bit, but that is common for all metal smartphones, so not a deal breaker for me.
9.5/10

CONNECTIVITY
Le 1s supports 2G/3G/4G networks in India. Everything is working fine. I didn’t experience any network issue so far. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are up to the mark. Le 1s supports dual SIM - one micro and one nano. Both are working perfectly fine. A small negative side is that it doesn’t support VoLTE, so for Reliance Jio users it is a deal breaker. Still it satisfied me. Thumbs up!
8.5/10

MEMORY
Le 1s comes with 32 GB of internal memory which is really good considering the price. It doesn’t support SD cards but it supports OTG. I was able to connect a 64 GB pen drive through USB Type C OTG cable and it was really fast and I had a nice experience. Overall at this price range it is really good.
8/10

SOUND QUALITY
The external speakers perform well and after plugging in earphones, it sounds really great. It is superior to the competition in this price range. Soothing to the ears and a good option for audiophiles.
8.5/10

PROS:
Stunning design
Premium Feel
Great Display
Good Speakers & Sound Quality

CONS:
Okay Camera
No VoLTE
No External SD card support
Considering the price point of 10999, LeEco provides a super “value for money” product which can break all records in the Indian mobile market. As their tag suggests a #SuperPhone at a #SuperPrice…
Overall Rating: 8.5/10
Verdict: Paisa Wasool..!

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 
