Samsung Galaxy S8 review

Is the Samsung Galaxy S8 the best Android phone?

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is, by far, the best Android phone on the market today. It combines good looks, a beautiful, unique display, and a whole wealth of new features to make it hard for anyone else to contend. Even with its awkward fingerprint sensor placement, it’s hard to find many flaws.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is the successor to the Galaxy S7. It's one of Samsung's flagship phones for 2017.

It features a larger 5.8-inch display despite having a size similar to the Galaxy S7 thanks to its high screen-to-body ratio. Specs include a Snapdragon 835 chipset, 4GB of RAM, 12MP camera, and more.

Welp, it’s finally time to put the Samsung Galaxy S8 on our list of the best Android phones. We’re still fully gauging its worth and a review is forthcoming, though you can see some of the things we do and don’t like about the Galaxy S8 already.

With that, we’ve also decided where, exactly, it deserves to go here in the early going of its life cycle. We don’t want to spoil it for you, so make haste and hit the button ahead to check out the full list and see where things stand right now.

After that, don’t forget that we’ll have a ton of new phones to consider soon, including the HTC U11, the Moto Z2 Play, and more. Give it a read!

Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1 camera review

Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1 camera review DPReview smartphone reviews are written with the needs of photographers in mind. We focus on camera features, performance, and image quality. Introduction It's been quite some time since Panasonic was a big name in the smartphone space, but the Lumix DMC-CM1, which was first announced at Photokina 2014, certainly is an appealing mobile device, especially to mobile photographers. That said, despite the CM1 having all the components and features of a smartphone, Panasonic describes it as a 'Communication Camera' in its marketing material. This does, to a degree, make sense. Looking at the CM1 and its spec sheet, it is quite hard to tell if this is a smartphone that puts a lot of emphasis on its camera or a digital camera with some bolted-on communication components.  The camera specification certainly goes way beyond current conventional smartphones. The CM1's 1-inch 20MP CM...

Panasonic Lumix DC-GX850/GX800 review

Panasonic Lumix DC-GX850/GX800 review The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX850 (known as the GX800 and GF9 in some regions) is the brand’s most compact interchangeable lens camera (as of Spring 2017) and uses the same 16MP Four Thirds sensor as several of its siblings. Sold kitted with a 12-32mm collapsible zoom, stand-out features include a 180-degree flip-up touch LCD, Panasonic's excellent Depth-from-Defocus AF and 4K video capture. At its core the GX850 represents a combining of Panasonic's style-oriented GF-line with the ultra-compact-oriented GM-line and replaces both the GM5 and GF8. However, its most similar sibling currently on the market is the larger, EVF-sporting  GX85 . Key features: 16MP Four Thirds MOS sensor 4K/30/24p video capture 4K Photo mode for 8MP stills at 30 fps 5 fps bursts with continuous AF 3" 1.04M-dot touch LCD flips ups 180 degrees Wi-Fi Panasonic's core customer for this camera is the casual user seeking a carry-everywhere-cam fo...
