3 Cool New Phones
for 2016 #Helpful Post
My
name is auten Evans and i would like all of you to subsribe to SuperCooper!

panda panda panda rrraaaaa!
This
time around, we've got two very different models
The
standard Galaxy S7 with a 5.1 inch screen
And
the S7 edge, that comes with a bigger 5.5 inch curved display
Both
are sporting a slight taper around back like the Note 5
And
paired with the aluminum and glass build, it's undoubtedly one of the most premium
looking phones out there.
Samsung
also brought back a couple highly requested features
Including
a Micro SD card slot, and the return of waterproofing.
This
is a big one, the Galaxy S7 can be submerged in a meter and a half of water for
30 minutes
and
thankfully, there aren't any annoying flaps over the ports.
Inside,
it's no slouch.
With
the brand new Snapdragon 820, 4 GB of RAM
And
much bigger batteries, which should help deliver the longevity the last gen
lacked.
It's
also rocking a new 12 megapixel camera.
It
gives up a bit of detail for a wider lens
and
bigger pixels, which should help massively in low light
One
of the biggest surprises at NWC is the LG G5
It's
rocking a new aluminum build that feels a lot nicer than the G4
It's
surprisingly light
And
with the smaller 5.3 inch screen, it fits really nicely in the hand
The
design is a massive improvement
Not
only does it look great, but this might be one of the most comfortable phones
I've ever used
Instead
of rear buttons
we've
got a fingerprint sensor that doubles as a power button
While
the display may not be AMOLED it still looks fantastic with
a
1440p resolution and it gets seriously bright paired with Android 6.0 and LG's
skin
still a bit too far from stock Android for my taste but it's totally usable.
Look
around back and you'll find something a little different.
Two
cameras.
It
has a normal 16 megapixel sensor that's paired with a wide-angle camera
to
give you two totally different looks for photos.
This
is a really cool idea that gives you what's almost as good as
optical
zoom without a giant camera on the back.
Probably
the coolest feature is the removable battery the bottom of the
phone
pops off if you need to swap batteries but you can also add what LG calls
"friends".
These
are modules that can add new features like this Bang & Olufsen headphone
amp which promises
hugely
improved audio performance.
There's
also the LG "camp laws" which not only includes a larger battery but
extra
controls
and a grip for the camera.
This
is a really cool idea to expand your phone without bolting giant accessories
on.
Something
I absolutely wasn't expecting is the HP elite x3.
While
Windows Phone has been flatlining lately, clearly no one told HP and they
threw
basically everything at the elite.
This
is a giant 6-inch phone that's packed with tech like the Snapdragon 820 from
the G4 and Note 7
and
a monster 4150 milliamp hour battery.
It
might not be the nicest looking phone out there, but it has a trick up its
sleeve: "continuum"
Plug
it into the USB-C dock and the Elite transforms into a Windows 10 PC.
A
couple monitor, mouse and keyboard and you're ready to go.
Unfortunately
since it's ON based you won't have full Windows 10 to use normal
apps,
but you still get a browser and optimized versions of some things like Word.
This
is an early prototype so performance are a bit sketchy and it's
missing
a couple features like a retina scanner that should be on the final
version,
but the idea of having one device that can be both your phone and
computer
has a ton of potential.
So
which was your favorite phone that was announced at MWC let me know in the
comments
below and I will catch you in the next one.
