Samsung on max a short review

The Samsung Galaxy On Max will compete directly with the Moto G5 Plus especially in the camera department
Being all-metal means the Galaxy On Max has a non-removable back cover, and obviously a non-removable battery. That is, but, a small price to pay for all that premium you're getting. Much like the Galaxy J7 Max, the Galaxy On Max also uses a 1080p screen (IPS and not AMOLED) which should get the job done for most users. The phone has just the right amount of pixels, without going overboard, which means it is pleasantly sharp - if a little on the dim side -- with good viewing angles. The screen is, however, a bit reflective which effects outdoor legibility to some extent.
In terms of hardware, the Galaxy On Max is powered by an octa-core MediaTek P25 Lite processor clubbed with 4GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage which is also expandable. It runs Android Nougat-based TouchWiz UI, supports dual-SIM and 4G LTE (VoLTE-ready) connectivity.
Samsung is banking on two - rather three -- key features to sell its new Galaxy On phone: Pay Mini, a camera that's - because it has a 1.7 aperture - supposedly great in low light and Social camera. While Samsung Pay Mini is Samsung Pay minus debit/credit card support, Social camera is essentially a camera feature that lets users apply beautify and filters on the fly while taking photos as well as share them simultaneously on social media channels, right from the camera app itself.
Of these, the Samsung Pay Mini - which is essentially a lighter version of the company's Pay mobile payments service platform - is the more interesting. Samsung Pay has all the cards (Visa, Mastercard), wallets like Paytm and UPI all integrated into one and works with both NFC and MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission). It works with any payment terminal: card swiping or reading machine accepting either a traditional swipe or contactless payments. It takes just three simple steps to use Samsung Pay, according to the company. These include: swiping up to launch the service, authenticating via PIN or fingerprint and making payments using your compatible Samsung phone. Samsung Pay Mini, on the other hand, supports only Paytm and UPI.
Moving on, Samsung is looking to bring Samsung Pay Mini to almost all its phones that have a fingerprint scanner which means previous-generation J-series phones (with fingerprint scanner) will also support the service in the days to come

Asus zenfone 5

Asus zenfone 5 ; Review VERDICT It was a long time coming, but the Asus ZenFone 5 is a great mid-range Android device with a lovely screen, excellent performance and a decent camera that just needs the latest version of Android and a bigger battery. PROS: Lovely bright screen Great performance Attractive UI CONS: Below average battery Out of date Android version Future updates uncertain Ratings in depth Introduction and design Key features Interface and Performance Battery and the essentials Camera Verdict All It feels like an awful long time ago that Jonney Shih, the Chairman of Asus, stood up at CES in Las Vegas and with no shortage of drama announced the new ZenFone range. And it is no surprise that it feels like an age has passed, since it has been eight whole months between the announcement of the ZenFones and the units being made available for pre-order by Asus in the UK. This is not the first time that Asus has announced products a...

LG G6

One of the few design decisions that remained was the dual camera on the back, only this time it sits flush with the phone's body. Below that is the signature sleep/wake button that doubles as a fingerprint sensor. It's been years since LG made this a mainstay of its high-end phones, and I appreciate the placement. The sensor was always within reach of my index fingers, but it occasionally needed a few clicks to unlock. Meanwhile, you'll find the volume keys on the left side, directly opposite the microSIM and microSD card slot (which takes up to 2TB of additional storage). You'll probably need the latter too. In the US, the G6 comes with 32GB of storage, only 19GB of which are available once you crack open the box. There's a USB-C port on the bottom, a headphone jack up top and that's really it. Well, except for the G6's claim to fame: the display. Since the screen is the single biggest change to LG's G Series formula, let's dig a little d...
