review S7

-
The Samsung Galaxy S7 is a stellar phone. It's a handset that packs great battery smarts, excellent camera abilities and loads of raw power into an increasingly affordable package.
Even though Samsung has replaced the Galaxy S7 with 2017's Galaxy S8 and the new Samsung Galaxy S9, it's still worth taking a look at the 2016 flagship Samsung phone for your next big purchase. The price has begun to drop quite impressively, and the Galaxy S8 lacks a killer feature that makes it a must-have over the Galaxy S7. 
The design is similar to 2015's Galaxy S6 - meaning some have said the Galaxy S7 should be called the Galaxy S6S - but this in-depth review shows there's a lot more going on under the hood to supplement the improved design.
If you're looking for the curved phone variant of this design, the Galaxy S7 isn't competing as closely with the Galaxy S7 Edge as the S6 did with the S6 Edge, with the curved display variant getting a bump in screen size this time round, taking it more into phablet territory.
Update: Good news for those who have hung onto their trusty Samsung GalaxyS7: Android Oreo has arrived for many. While first teased back in 2017, Samsung has now updated its S7 and S7 Plus to the current (but not for long) Android OS.
Android P is just around the corner, and while the S7 is not likely to receive that update, at least it's got something a little more modern in the meantime.

Canon EOS M10 Mirrorless Camera Review

image: https://www.shutterbug.com/images/524_canon_m10_slant.jpg The Canon EOS M10 is the newest model of Canon's CSC series. It is a new entry-level system with 18MP resolution and its concept is dedicated to those who want to upgrade from smartphone photography and simple compact cameras. image: https://www.shutterbug.com/images/524_canon_m10_left.jpg Just like all M cameras, the new EOS M10 is very compact. Even though its new 14-45mm kit lens is very compact the camera is only a bit taller than the lens. The built-in flash pops up very high to reduce the red eye effect. The camera doesn't offer a hot shoe for additional flash systems.

review Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro

We'll be reviewing the J730GM/DS version, the GM signifying it's the one for India if you're to blindly trust Samsung's websites. As the DS lettering indicates, it's a dual SIM phone. The rest of the Galaxy J7 Pro is very much like the J7 (2017), which we've already reviewed. You're getting a Super AMOLED 5.5-inch display with pixels galore - alright, it's FullHD, but most of last year's J7s were 720p. Coming straight from last year is the chipset, but then the 14nm Exynos 7870 was ahead of its time back then - for a midrange SoC, that is - so it still makes sense in 2017 and will probably remain relevant in 2018, too. Our review unit comes with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, but 64GB versions are also available. You can theoretically save some cash and get this 32GB version, as there's a microSD slot, fully dedicated one at that so you won't be sacrificing the second SIM slot. We weren't exactly thrilled about the camera when we...

review S9

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is the phone that's supposed to lead the charge where the  Galaxy S8 , one of the best phones we've ever tested, left off - but it's not as much of an upgrade. Update:   The Samsung Galaxy S9 now comes in the shimmering 'sunrise gold' color is now available in the US. But it also has even more competition with the arrival of the  OnePlus 6 ,  HTC U12 Plus  and  LG G7 ThinQ . Well, that's at first glance, because there is a raft of updates that some would find appealing. Yes, the design is identical to the Galaxy S8, and in reality this really should have been the 'S' variant of that model if Samsung ever wanted to ape Apple's naming strategy. But there's also a new, high-power camera on the back that brings genuine innovation in the dual-aperture shutter, as well as a more robust frame and so, so much more power under the hood. The screen is brighter and the dual speakers make this more of a media marvel - and the...
