99% of current smartphones are flat! Flat smartphones look beautiful and professional. But the truth is such designs are not really practical in many aspects! Below are some reasons why we say so
Flat smartphones: Poor comfortability
The first disadvantage of flat smartphones is that they don’t fit our face structure. Human faces are undeniably round. That’s why every land line phones are traditionally curved so as to fit both your ears and your mouths conveniently! That design is also applied in flip phones for better call quality. But current smartphones, which are mostly flat, cannot offer the same thing. Often, the microphone of flat smartphones is a few inches away from your mouth. That’s why phone makers enhance the microphone so that it can record louder sounds. However, that also results in more noises from the environment!
The second reason why flat smartphones are not practical is that it doesn’t fit your hands really well. Remember the game controllers? They are curved for some reasons! Curved device are easier to hold, because the normal position of your hand is not flat (you have to stretch your fingers to make it flat). A flat smartphone doesn’t feel attached to your hand than a curved smartphone! Moreover, flat smartphones are easier to flip from your hand.
Third, flat smartphones with large screens are quite challenging to use. Phone screens are getting larger and larger. And with a 6-inch smartphone or above, there’s no way you could reach all of your fingers to all corners of the phone with just one hand. Curved smartphones, on the other hand, are bent so that you can reach all areas of the display more easily.
Flat smartphones: Poor screen protection
Last but not least, the design of flat smartphone is not very protective of the screen. Have you ever wondered why there are more and more screen protection technology? Because flat handsets fail to protect their own screen! When you accidentally drop your flat phone to the ground, there are 50% chances your phone drops in the face! But curved smartphones only drop on the back!

It’s widely known that Windows phones have been outcast in the smartphone industry. Mostly, people avoid Windows phone because of the lack of apps. But in fact, that’s not the real Windows phone problem!
Windows phone problem: It’s not about the lack of apps
According to the latest statistics provided by Microsoft, the number of apps available in Windows Phone app store is 300.000! This number is only one-third of what is offered by Google Play app store and Apple app store. This comparison has to lead to the thought that Windows phone sucks in terms of applications! But in fact, this gap doesn’t prove anything because the average number of apps a common person uses per month is no more than 30! So it makes no sense to claim that Windows is a lack of apps!
But yes, Windows really has apps problem, but it’s not the quantity. The real Windows phone problem comes from the quality of apps. Overall, their app store provides almost every popular apps in the market but they RARELY have those apps updated! On the other hand, Google Play Store and Apple app store always keep those apps up-to-date. That’s why Windows phones, though having plenty of apps, still can not compete with Android and Apple devices.
The main reason behind this Windows phone problem is that the apps developers don’t think it’s a good idea to invest in Windows app store. The number of Windows phone users is only 2.7% of total. Meanwhile, Android users take up to 81.5%. Apps developers. This means the investment in Google Play Store can gain nearly 40 times more benefits than in Windows app store! As a result, most app developers focus more on Android apps and ignore Windows apps.
Windows phone problem: Microsoft has come up with the solution!
Luckily, Microsoft has figured out the solution for this Windows phone problem! Windows 10 Anniversary has just been released. This OS version is said to have a universal app store across smartphones, tablets, and computers! This will dramatically increase the users of Windows app store because the number of computers running Windows is around 10 times higher than Macbooks and Chromebooks combining together! Apps developers will NOT ignore this massive number of users!
While there are more and more updates about the two next Nexus phones from Google. Suddenly some new leaks on the internet hint that Google will… cancel the Nexus series for good! Take a look!
Google Nexus series: Shot dead or reborn with another new name?
First, let’s take a look at what we already know about the two new phones from the Nexus series. HTC Nexus S1 (Sailfish) has just been spotted on Antutu with a 5-inch full HD display, a Snapdragon 820 chipset, 4GB RAM, a 13MP main camera and a glass-metal design. Meanwhile, the HTC Nexus M1 (Marlin) is hinted to be fully covered with metal and pack a 5.5-inch full HD screen and the same CPU as Nexus M1. Both phones are also reported to run Android 7.0 Nougat!
Back to the news, according to the latest leaked images on the internet, Google is going to abandon the Nexus series. HTC is still the manufacturer but the next two phones will not be named “Nexus”. Instead, as you can see in the leaked pictures, the two Nexus handset will be rebranded to “G”, which we bet, stands for Google!
And that’s not the only hint! According to the FCC certification, the two code names of Nexus S1 Sailfish and Nexus M1 Marlin are respectively G- 2PW2100 and G-2PW4100. So at this point, there is 90% chance the Nexus series will be postponed for good. The question is: What is the reason behind this change?
Google Nexus series: What is Google’s plan?
Don’t you think it’s kinda unwise to change the name only a month before the announcement of the two new devices? However, we bet there are some reasons behind this. The first possible case is that Google wants to make a strong declaration that these phones, though produced by HTC, are actually Google’s asset! Another possible case is that Google wants to run away from the failure of the Nexus series. This new name is like a rebirth of Google’s handsets. However, let’s wait until Google finally speak and explain about these rumours and leaks! Stay tuned to keep yourself up-to-date guys!

Samsung seems to be aware that the former Galaxy S7 Edge design is quite not practical in use. That’s why in this Note7, the edges are less curved but at the same time they still remain very charming! The new blue color is also a big bonus! Moreover, this phone allows users to take note in the water! Can you find any other phone with this function?
