Danny Zepeda 1 year ago

Samsung reached the pinnacle of its design prowess with the Galaxy Note 8. How could it top that? It couldn’t, at least not right now, so it decided to keep the same design with the S9 Plus, while fixing some of the biggest issues. Because of this, the battle between the S-line and N-line is closer than in years past. Let’s get the obvious out of the way: save for specs and minor...

The iPhone was as popular as ever in 2017, again becoming the best-selling product of the year.

What is surprising is the margin, outselling the bottom four products combined. Here’s how the list breaks down....

The Galaxy Note 8 looks beautiful, but it’s not really the most durable phone out there. It’s made almost entirely of glass. Both the front and back are comprised of Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5; however, that’s not going to stop the phone from getting scratched or cracked over time. A screen protector will help preserve your Galaxy Note 8 in like-new condition better than anything else....
