ZTE Axon 7 review

ZTE Axon 7 

By Matt Swide

ZTE Axon 7 review now includes final benchmarks and a recommended badge due to its design, specs and performance at a reasonable price.

ZTE Axon 7 is a new Android phone with a sleek design, powerful specs and a reasonable price that challenges the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and rumorediPhone 7 in its dual SIM, unlocked form.


That explains the confusing name of this successor to the ZTE Axon Pro (ZTE Axon Elite in the UK), which has skipped right over the ZTE Axon 2 through ZTE Axon 6 in between last year and now.

Apple's iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are the best selling smartphones in US

Apple's iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus 

• By Mihăiță Bamburic

Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge's reign as the most popular smartphones in US in the three months ending May was short lived, as the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus climbed to the top of the sales chart in the second quarter of 2016. Perhaps it's not all doom and gloom for Apple's flagships.

The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus accounted for 15.1 percent of the smartphones sold in Q2, while Samsung's flagships only made up 14.1 percent of sales, according to a new report from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech. Previous figures were 14.6 percent and 16 percent, respectively.


Apple is well represented at the top, as the iPhone SE comes right after the Galaxy S7 line with 5.1 percent of sales. The iPhone lineup as a whole actually gained ground in US year-over-year, rising to 31.8 percent from 30.5 percent market share.

Meanwhile, Android dropped to 65.6 percent from 66.1 percent a year prior. Windows followed a similar trend, dropping to 1.6 percent from three percent in Q2 2015. Interestingly enough, so-called "other" platforms actually rose in the charts, to 1.1 percent from 0.4 percent market share.

The Kantar Worldpanel ComTech report warns that iOS' rise may not continue in the third quarter, as iPhone sales typically decrease in the months prior to the release of new flagships. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 7 generation early next month, while a successor to the iPhone SE, which is enjoying "strong demand", should come later down the road.

The iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are also the most popular smartphones in China, with the iPhone SE following from afar. In the UK, it is the iPhone SE which leads the pack, with the iPhone 6s coming in second place.

Lenovo Phab2 Pro

Lenovo Phab2 Pro

By Marie Brewis | 04 Aug 16

So, what does the Lenovo Phab2 Pro, the first Project Tango phone, have to offer? It boasts a larger-than-life 6.4in Quad HD display (2560x1440), making it an inch taller and half an inch wider (179.8 x 88.6 x 10.7mm) than the already pretty hefty iPhone 6s Plus, and weighs almost double at 259g. It’s 10.7mm thick, boasts an aluminium unibody, and will be available to buy in two colours – ‘champagne’ gold and ‘gunmetal’ grey.

Now we’ve got the design out of the way, it’s time to move onto what’s really interesting about this smartphone – what’s on the inside. In terms of processing power, the Phab2 Pro boasts an octa-core 1.8GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor coupled with a whopping 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. If that’s not enough for you, then you’ll be happy to know that the Phab2 Pro also features a Micro-SD card slot to expand the built-in storage of the smartphone by up to 256GB. It also has a huge 4050mAh battery to power all that technology, and features 2.4x ‘turbo charging’ so you won’t have to wait for hours for it to charge.

The smartphone also has three built-in microphones and Dolby Audio Capture 5.1 support, providing users with the ability to capture 5.1 channel surround sound audio complete with spatial capture and noise reduction. This provides videos and audio recordings with higher quality audio than with many other leading smartphones.

However, it’s in the camera department that the Phab2 Pro really comes into its own, as that’s where most of the Project Tango tech is housed. There are a whopping four cameras on the Phab2 Pro – a front facing 8Mp camera capable of 1080p video, along with a main rear-facing 16Mp camera capable of 2160p video, a depth-sensing camera and a motion camera (both also on the rear). As explained above, the special rear-camera setup enables positional tracking capabilities, along with motion tracking, depth perception and area learning, making it possible for the Phab2 Pro to analyse and map your environment, and even detect surfaces and obstacles.

LG G6 – BEST SMARTPHONES 2017 PREVIEW

LG G6

The LG G series is always regarded as one of the best smartphones of the year, and the 2017 launch of the LG G6 will be one more reason why. The latest installment in one of the most sophisticated handsets will make its return with the 6th generation model adding to the already sexy appeal, and bringing with it some new features.

LG has all-but confirmed the launch as it filed patents through the LG G10, so we already know the 2017 model is heading our way. This would mean the 6th generation handset will be released soon while taking the series at least through 2011.

LG confirmed in a statement last year there will be a foldable smartphone in the future leading towards 2017. What we don’t expect to see is the LG G6 to sport a foldable concept as its being rumored to either be in the LG G Flex 4 or a new series all-together. Despite this, huge changes are in-store including a refined premium look, new features, and a better interface with not just LG peripherals, but all peripherals.

The Samsung Galaxy Note7 is now official. The latest iteration of the phone that started the phablet craze back in 2011 replaces the Galaxy Note5 on top of Samsung's Android smartphone lineup. The company deliberately skipped a model number in order to bring the device's naming in line with the Samsung Galaxy S7 product family.
