Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge : Two Months Later Our review of the Galaxy S7 Edge has been up for a little while now, and having used the device for a solid month at this point, I feel as if I should share my final take on the device before I get something else in my hands. Unsurprisingly to many, I’m sure, the Galaxy S7 Edge is still my vote for the top device released so far in 2016. It’s pretty early in the year after all, but from what I have seen thus far, I don’t think the LG G5 or HTC 10 have what it takes to overcome everything the Galaxy S7 Edge offers. Over the course of this month, I have been very happy with the phone’s overall performance, and thanks to an update that recently came from T-Mobile and Samsung (I have an unbranded T-Mobile variant), my battery life has even gotten better from what I experienced during my review period. While I was usually hitting the hay with about 10-15% of juice left at the end of each day, I am easily seeing 30-35...

HUAWEI HONOR 8 REVIEW  It may seem odd that, mere months after the debut of Huawei’s top-of-the-line P9  handset, the Chinese smartphone maker has essentially repurposed its flagship phone’s hardware for a handset that costs half the price. But that’s just what Huawei has done. At a hardware level, the Honor 8 is nearly indistinguishable from its pricier predecessor. Huawei may have been spurred by tough competition like the ZTE Axon 7,OnePlus 3, Alcatel’s Idol 4S, and Lenovo’s Moto Z.  The company seems eager to prove it can compete handily in the flagship killer space. The Honor brand is a juggernaut overseas, with 40 million phone shipments in 2015, and Huawei wants to replicate that success in the United States. Huawei put its best foot forward with the Honor 8. It is a jewel-encrusted brooch of a smartphone with an outer finish unlike any we’ve ever seen. And it has the hardware to match. It’s a heck of a package. Specifications are all well and good,...
