This year’s keyword: Snapdragon 835…it is one the most awaited tech innovations of 2017! You are not sure if you should buy a new Android phone or not? YES, you should! Here are advantages of the upcoming flagships and also maybe your next mobile phone:

1. Better Camera

In terms of photography, Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 835 chip brings a lot of innovative advantages. First, it supports cameras with up to 32 megapixels of resolution and supports also dual cameras much better than other mobile processors. Secondly, it comes with faster autofocus and electronic image stabilization 3.0. This provides steady, sharp pictures and videos even if you are on the road in a low light environment.

Another highlight of Qualcomm’s latest product is its better encoding technology that can reduce image and video sizes up to 30 percent! Just think about it, this is a lot. In other words, you can record more 4K videos of your trips, parties and friends by the same amount of storage. How cool is that?

2. Better Battery

This feature is probably the most interesting one: According to Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 835 requires a total of 25 percent less energy than the Snapdragon 820 and 50 percent less than the Snapdragon 801 under comparable conditions. In addition, it comes with the newest version of the company’s fast charging technology, the QuickCharge 4.0 which allows up to 20 percent faster loading times compared to the third generation and provides also additional protection against overcharging. Qualcomm promises that a battery of standard capacity can be recharged from completely empty to 50 percent in just 15 minutes! This is impressive, right?

3. Better Security Measurements

Next, Qualcomm placed great value on more security. Snapdragon 835’s Haven Security platform allows the combination of several biometric authentication methods. For instance, a smartphone producer can provide additional safety by combining fingerprint, iris & face recognition and an audio identification for special safety-relevant applications or to unlock sensitive information such as financial transactions. Absolutely one of the most useful features!

4. Better Entertainment Experience

Additionally, Qualcomm is following the growing VR and decided to support devices with Snapdragon 835 Daydream, Google’s sophisticated platform for mobile VR. Gaming and fans can look forward to many enhanced features such as 25 percent speed improvement, 4K displays with 64x more colors, more powerful head-, eye- and gesture tracking and even object and scene based sound!

5. Better Connectivity

Last but not least, maybe the decisive motive to buy an Android phone for many users: the new Snapdragon 35 mobile processor even provides faster connectivity. The producer has given the market a really high target level of performance. A X16 Gigabit-class LTE modem is integrated which can reach almost 1 GBit/s if you want to download something. WOW! This is definitely a super attractive reason to buy an Android phone this year.

Snapdragon 835: Five Reasons to Buy a New Android Phone

Crytek Studio, which is most famous for the series Crysis, has closed some of its subsidiaries at the end of last year. However, recently one of the closed Crytek Studio has been reborn, with a different name.

Closed Crytek Studio reborn with a new name!

Crytek, the game developer many gamers know for the Crysis series, has shut down some of its subsidiaries at the end of 2016. There were 5 shutdowns to be exact. However, recently, an previous branch, Crytek Black Sea, has re-emerged with a new name: Black Sea Games. It is now an independent studio. That means this new studio will now make games without any influence of Crytek, as well as not being part of any Crytek games (unless Crytek outsourced them).

The company states on its website that it was established in November 2016, which is before Crytek’s subsidiaries closure announcement. This suggests that the shutting down of those studios are even earlier than reported. The website also confirms that the studio is working on a new project, but will not disclose anything further. It is highly speculated to be a new game – this is a game studio, after all. We will have to wait and see if Black Sea Games can do better without Crytek.

The new company is lead by Vesselin Hanjiev, who was managing director while the company was still under Crytek. Actually, he was the one who founded Black Sea Studios back in 2001, before being purchased by Crytek in 2008. He also had the same role in Black Sea Studios. Now, Black Sea Games is an independent game company again, it has its own mission statement. It will now focuses on giving the players freedom of choices inside the game, and that games will have big replay value. Let’s wait and see what they can do!

Closed Crytek Studio reborn: Look to the future

We cannot tell whether this will be good or not for Black Sea Games without the help from Crytek. Hopefully we will have good games from this studio in the future!

Recently, ahead of the huge trade show CES 2017, LG offically launched their latest Stylus series – LG Stylus 3 – in all of its affordable glory. 

LG Stylus 3: The successor of Stylus 2

This Stylus 3 is the third in the South Korean tech giant’s affordable stylus range. LG is continuing to give this line of handsets two different yet similar names. Stylus is LG’s budget-friendly stylus line products. With a more sensitive, narrower fiber tip to give that real pen feel and finer point of contact. You can take note on the lock screen, a proximity sensor if your phone strays too far from the stylus and automatic memo apps.

The phone has an impressive feature list, with a removable battery, expandable storage, fingerprint scanner and Android 7.0. This phone is called the competitor of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 with similar functions. However, keep in mind that Stylus isn’t as premium and doesn’t have as many features as the Samsung’s Note line. The Stylus has a plastic construction, a 720p display, its processor isn’t as fast, and it is not water resistant.

LG Stylus 3 comes with a 5.7 inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels (~258 pixels per inch). The phone is powered by 1.5GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6750 processor and 3GB of RAM. The phone packs 16GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 256GB via a microSD card. Stylus 3 packs a 13 MP primary camera and a 8 MP selfies camera. It is fueled by a 3200mAh removable battery. In America, it will be called Stylo 3, while other markets will get it as the Stylus 3.

LG Stylus 3: A Stylus phone at an affordable price

With the good-looking design, LG Stylus 3 will be available in Metallic Titan and Pink Gold. Pricing and a release time frame have not been announced for now. Are you looking forward to this new mid-range smartphone from LG?

We have seen lots of weird phones at CES 2017. Yet, it does not finish. The weirdest phone so far has just introduced, Graalphone. What does make it so weird? Let’s take a look. 

The 3-in-1 Graalphone: phone, keyboard and camera

The phone is the product of Raoul Parienti, a French entrepreneur with more than 100 patients. His invention included an electric car-sharing scheme used in France, the NFC card that Parisian suburbanites use to pay their train fares, and a bunch of other things. The Graalphone included a small touch screen Android smartphone that  slides into a “sleeve” with a 7-inch glasses-free 3D screen. The screen on the sleeve in turn slides up to reveal a full hardware keyboard.

Talking about the processor, the small phone has a Qualcomm processor while the sleeve would have an Intel Atom and be able to run Windows 10. Both parts shared storage and connectivity. In terms of camera, the phone has itself a camera and the sleeve also equipped a second camera with Xenon flash and 5x optical zoon. The two cameras could combine to make a 3D camera.

However, the mockup that we see right now has many problems. Nothing turns on, the screen is floppy and the keyboard is mushy – it is just an IDEA. If the phone is so small as we look in the mockup, it would be the smallest. While Parienti said that he wants to equip a 3000mAh battery. We can’t see how they can put that battery pack inside a tiny body. The Graalphone is less about the details than the idea behind it.

Graalphone: availability

Parienti expected his phone will coming in late 2017, as what we have seen on Graalphone’s website. And, Perienti does not want to make it by themselves.
