HUAWEI P9 - the phone that makes sense to buy.

With its new teaser site Huawei P9, Huawei has pretty much confirmed that its upcoming P9 handset will arrive equipped with a dual-lens camera. The teaser site also set the smartphone phone's due date as April 6.

After the P9 failed to break cover during the Mobile World Congress last month, it became pretty sure that Huawei would give the smartphone special treatment away from any potential spotlight thieves and one-uppers at the conference.
The new teaser site bearing a countdown, labeled with the words "The Reveal. Coming Soon," is ticking away the hours and seconds until April 6.
The site is littered with references to the P9's dual-camera lenses, from the #00 hashtag to a cropped image of the feature.
Beyond the dual-camera lens system, Huawei gave no obvious indication or hints as to what the rest of the P9's entrails entail. But Oppomart's online storefront professes to know something about that, recently revealing various details.
The Huawei P9 will boast a 5.2-inch full HD display and that dual-lens rear camera with snap photos at 12-megapixel, exacting its aim with laser focus. On its face, it'll wear a 5-megapixel selfie camera, according to Oppomart.

"Many of us rely on our phones for taking all our photos, so we incorporated a camera that delivers astounding results," reads the handset's description on Oppomart. "The Huawei P9's camera will take photos you'll want to share, day or night."
A Hisilicon Kirin 950 octa-core processor will handle the calculations and the phone will be stocked with 3 GB of RAM.
"This chipset harnesses the robust integration of many components for incredible speed and power efficiency," reads the P9's description. "Among them, the custom Krait CPU architecture for sustained peak performance, integrated 4G LTE connectivity, boosting 3D interfaces, colors and textures."
The handset will have 32 GB of long term storage — there have been rumors asserting that the phone will have a large counterpart, the P9 Max, which could come with more storage space.
The P9 will run on Android 6.0 and with a battery capacity of 3,000 mAh. The GSM phone will also support global 4G

Motorola DROID MAXX 2 - multifunctional smartphone

Our new reviewed phone is

Motorola DROID MAXX 2

SIMPLE DESIGN

Motorola doesn’t make the flashiest phones in the world, but the company knows how to build quality handsets. Whether it’s an entry-level Moto E or the flagship-caliber Droid Turbo 2, Motorola always invests a lot of time in its craftsmanship.

The Droid Maxx 2 isn’t a flagship phone, so you won’t find a metal body or frame, but Motorola’s choice of materials give it a premium look and feel.

The back has an etched pattern with a soft rubber-like texture, which offers fantastic grip.
The back has an etched pattern with a soft rubber-like texture, which offers fantastic grip with none of the slipperiness found on other phones. The silver frame adds to the premium look, even though it’s plastic disguised as metal.

The body has a nano coating that acts as a water repellent. The phone shouldn’t be mistaken for waterproof, but it will be able to survive accidental spills, splashes, and light rain.

A major highlight of the design has to be its size, which is 148.0 x 75.0mm. The iPhone 6S Plus is 158.2 x 77.9mm, which is much bigger. Considering that both phones have massive 5.5-inch screens, the Maxx 2 has a clear advantage. It’s a lot easier to use and hold one-handed.

The downside is that the Maxx 2 is thicker. It’s actually 8.9mm at the sides, but the rounded back pushes it to 10.9mm at its thickest point. In comparison, the iPhone 6S Plus is only 7.3mm thick. However, the Maxx 2’s rounded back gives you the impression that it’s thinner than it actually is.
Although Motorola didn’t open up its Moto Maker customization engine for the Maxx 2, the removable back can be swapped out for a different color, which is arguably a benefit because you can change it any time you want.

Looking at the front of the phone shows speakers at the top and bottom that could easily be mistaken for stereo sound. Unfortunately that’s not the case, as the speaker phone and media playback sounds will only fire through the bottom speaker. The top speaker is reserved for in-ear phone calls.

FANTASTIC DISPLAY AND PERFORMANCE

Mid-range phones usually come with a below-average screen to keep the price down. However, the Maxx 2 sports a generous 5.5-inch 1080p screen, which equates to a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. This is the sweet spot, since it offers the perfect balance between viewing experience and battery life.

The screen is an LCD panel instead of the traditional AMOLED screen that we’re accustomed to on past Motorola phones. As such, it’s technically not as energy-efficient, but the battery size more than makes up for that. Although the colors don’t pop as much as they would on an AMOLED screen, the Maxx 2 looks sharp and viewing angles are very good. Plus, it performs well in sunlight, which is usually the case with LCD panels.

The back has an etched pattern with a soft rubber-like texture, which offers fantastic grip.
The Droid Maxx 2 features the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor. Although a mid-range chip, it’s more than adequate for just about anything you can throw at it. Videos and games play smoothly, and I didn’t notice any stuttering or lag when navigating the user interface or opening and closing apps.

Internal storage is limited to 16GB, but the included MicroSD slot means that you can add up to an additional 128GB for all your pictures, music, and videos.

As mentioned before, this phone doesn’t have stereo sound, but at least the one speaker is front-firing. The sound is nothing to brag about, which is expected for a phone in this price range.

CRAZY GOOD BATTERY

Battery life is becoming increasingly important because so many phones continue to fail to last through an entire day. Motorola has been a leader in battery life ever since the company introduced the Droid Razr Maxx back in 2012.

The Maxx 2 sports a whopping 3,630mAh battery, which is rather large for a phone of this size. The similar-sized iPhone 6S Plus only has a 2,750mAh battery, and the larger Galaxy Note 5 features a 3,000mAh battery. As such, the Maxx 2 is one of the most dominant phones in terms of battery life.

In our battery rundown test in which we play continuous video while the phone is connected to 4G LTE (not Wi-Fi) and the display is set to about 60 percent brightness, the Maxx 2 performed spectacularly. It went from 100 percent to 0 percent in 11 hours and 4 minutes. How does this translate in real life? Motorola promises 48 hours, which is not out of the realm of possibility with moderate use. Last weekend, I went from Friday morning well into Sunday without charging it once. Power users are likely to be limited to 30-36 hours, but even that’s phenomenal.

When it comes to most smartphones, you begin to panic when you hit 30 percent battery, but 30 percent on the Maxx 2 is like 80 percent on most other phones.

On top of the amazing battery life, you also get quick charging capability, or as Motorola calls it, “turbo power.” That’s just another term for Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 2.0.

On top of the amazing battery life, you also get quick charging.
If you do find yourself in a pinch, you can juice up pretty darn fast using a quick charger. Starting from 0 percent, our tests showed that the Maxx 2 will charge to 25 percent in just 20 minutes, 50 percent in 45 minutes, and 100 percent in 2 hours. This means that you can grab 12 hours of life after just 20 minutes of charging, or about 24 hours after just 45 minutes.

The downside is that a quick-charging compatible charger doesn’t come in the box. You can buy one directly from Motorola, or any third-party charger will work, as long as it’s certified with Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 2.0 standard.

Unfortunately, wireless charging isn’t onboard, but you won’t miss it with battery life like this.

AVERAGE CAMERA

Motorola has never blown anyone away with its cameras, but the company has improved greatly over the past couple of years. The Droid Maxx 2 sports a 21-megapixel main rear camera along with a 5-megapixel front-facing lens. When you consider the rear cameras on the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus are 12-megapixels and the Galaxy S6 sports 16-megapixels, this is very generous for a phone in this price range.

However, it’s not all about the megapixels. Megapixels only make it easier for you to crop images, but none of that matters if the quality is subpar. The Maxx 2 handles brightly lit situations very well, but the lack of optical image stabilization shows up in low-light shots, in which a decent amount of noise is present. There is a Night Mode, which does cut down on the noise, but at the expense of lowering the megapixel count down to 3.7. Ouch.


The camera software itself is very minimal with limited controls. It’s meant to be a simple point and shoot. In fact, it’s so simple, that you can tap anywhere on the display to capture a shot. For those who like to tweak things, there is a drag to focus with exposure control option.

Although it has a high megapixel count, the Maxx 2 cannot record 4K video. This isn’t going to be a big deal for most people, though. It can record up to 1080p (1920 x 1080) at 30 frames per second, which is more than enough.

The front-facing camera doesn’t include flash, but the display can be used for the same purpose. There is also a Best Shot mode that will automatically pick out the best selfie photo from a series of shots, but I was unable to get that to work.

USEFUL MOTOROLA SOFTWARE

The Droid Maxx 2 runs Android Lollipop 5.1.1 out of the box, which is a bummer since the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update has been available for over a month. However, Motorola and Verizon promise that the Marshmallow update is coming very soon.

What separates Motorola from other Android manufacturers is its software on top of Android. While other manufacturers continue to muck up Android with a different look and useless apps, Motorola preserves the pure Android experience and includes some very useful features.

New for this year is Moto Loop, which again, shows Motorola’s prowess in offering stuff that fits into your everyday life. This app is the perfect way to keep track of each family member’s location and also offers the ability to send messages to each other. You can set certain locations where family members can auto check in. That way, you will be notified when your child gets to school and home, plus, you can always check the real-time location as well. If this isn’t enough, Moto Loop can also automatically control your Nest Thermostat or Philips Hue lights when you get home.

Other familiar apps like Voice, Display, Assist, and Actions are all back again.

Voice allows you to initiate commands without the need to wake your phone. You can ask questions, set reminders, play a song, and more.
Display shows your notifications without the need to turn on the full display. All you need to do is nudge your phone and they will appear.
Assist recognizes when you’re at home, driving, at work, or any other custom location. You can adjust the settings for when you’re at each location, like whether you want your text messages read to you, notifications silenced, and more.
Actions opens the camera with two flicks of the wrist.
Droid Zap, a past Verizon exclusive, is also back with the Droid Maxx 2. This app allows you to share photos and videos directly with other friends near you. It’s perfect for parties and group outings. It’s available on other Android phones, as well as iOS (Motorola Zap), so your friends don’t have to own a Droid-branded phone.

WARRANTY

Motorola’s Limited Warranty for the Droid Maxx 2 covers fixes for one year. After that, you’ll have to pay for repairs or to extend your coverage. Motorola will not repair or replace phones that have water damage, either. Out-of-warranty repairs cost $175. You can read more about the limited warranty here.


The Maxx 2 has a special screen program, which isn’t as extensive as the ShatterShield promise Motorola offers on the Droid Turbo 2. Motorola will give you one free certified replacement within 2 years of purchase, if you break yours.

Motorola offers a few more paid options for those who need more protection. Moto Care Accident Protection covers accidents that affect the functionality of the device, like drops and spills. It comes with an additional 3 or 12 months of Motorola’s standard limited warranty. It’s more expensive, though, and prices vary widely based on how many months you signup for and what device you have. Prices are between $15 – $70 for 15 months of coverage or $25 – $100 for 24 months of coverage.

The $13-$20 Moto Care Extended Service Plan covers an additional 12 months of Motorola’s standard limited warranty, with an unlimited number of claims and low deductible.

CONCLUSION

THE DT ACCESSORY PACK

Up your game with these accessories, hand picked by DT editors:

Droid Maxx 2 Supcase Heavy Duty case ($15)

iLLumiShield HD Tempered Glass [2-Pack] screen protector ($10)

Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 wall charger ($12)
At $384 off contract, you’re going to have a hard time finding a better value smartphone. The OnePlus 2 and Asus Zenfone 2 are worthy contenders at $330 and $300 respectively, but neither one will work on Verizon Wireless or offer this kind of battery life.

On the other hand, the recently announced HTC One A9 will work on Verizon, but it costs $500. The best competitor might be the Google Nexus 5X, which sells for $400. It will work on Verizon, and it has a better camera, but its battery life can’t hold a candle to the Droid Maxx 2, and we don’t recommend it as a viable alternative, based on our terrible experience with the phone.

The Droid Maxx 2 is exactly what the Honda Accord is for automobiles. You get rock-solid performance with a near luxurious experience for a lot less money.

If you’re looking for a new phone that won’t break the bank and is built to last, you can’t go wrong with the Droid Maxx 2.

Oppo f1 phone from the feature.

Oppo is one of the fastest growing smartphone manufacturers in the world. Having sold around 50 million smartphones last year, it’s closing in on LG, which is pretty impressive given the size of the company. The F1 Plus looks to continue that success in 2016 and having spent some time with the phone, Oppo’s got a great shot of doing just that, even if the device needs a little work.

Design

It looks like an iPhone. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s continue…

There’s a lot to like about the Oppo F1 Plus’ design. The all-metal back has an attractive, soft anodized finish which is neither too glossy nor too dull. It also happens to have really good-looking rounded edges and corners, which aren’t just aesthetically pleasing, but also combine with the thinness of the phone to make it easy to hold in one hand. It’s still a stretch to reach some areas onscreen, but that’s the case with every 5.5-inch phone on the market. At 6.6mm thin and 145g, it never gets tiring or uncomfortable to hold.

What’s a little unusual is that the metal body’s shiny, chamfered edges don’t quite reach all the way up the edges, making the brilliant white front panel look like it’s sticking out a little. It’s not necessarily a terrible thing, it’s just odd.


The rest of the front panel is pretty impressive. The bezel on the sides of the screen is really thin, and the fingerprint sensor/home button has an attractive gold ring around it. It’s flanked on either side by two capacitive buttons, which only light up when pressed. This makes it hard to use to begin with, especially if you come from a phone where the back and app-switching buttons are arranged the other way around. Still, they save space on the bottom of the screen, and I don’t mind that.

While the phone is pretty, light and sturdy enough, I did face a couple of issues with the phone’s design. Both the front glass and rear metal finish are really easy to scratch. Despite not being treated rough, they both have noticeable marks on them with only a week’s use. So if you buy one, leave the pre-applied screen protector on, and use the included case.

Software

It’s hard to know where to start with the Color OS software. It’s equally hard to list what I noticed without it sounding like a one-sided rant about yet another Chinese smartphone maker with a terrible UI. So let’s start with this: It’s not terrible, but it needs improvement in a lot of areas.

Ignoring the fact that the default launcher has no app drawer, there’s just too much about the user interface and stock apps that has clearly taken inspiration from the iPhone. The card-based app-switcher view, calendar, calculator, camera and phone call app user interfaces are so similar to iOS it’s almost hilarious. Even the way you uninstall apps, and how they automatically arrange themselves on the screen is eerily close to Apple’s bespoke software.

My other complaints are for daily tools I use. Things like ‘do not disturb’ which can’t be activated simply by pressing and holding the volume down key, or via an easy quick-toggle on the drop-down menu. There’s also the fact that it really doesn’t like having a third party launcher set as the default. I found it often just switched back to the system default, despite manually changing it. It particularly didn’t like Nova Launcher.

Putting all of my complaints to one side, I like the general clean-ness of the UI. It’s sharp, minimal and mostly uncluttered. The settings menu is nice to look at, while the pre-installed TouchPal keyboard is among the easiest to type on that I’ve ever used. And unlike the free version from the Play Store, it doesn’t have annoying pop-up ads. You can download themes if you want to, but the default has well-spaced keys, each with a clearly defined secondary character, making those trips to the dreaded ‘symbols’ screen fewer and farther between.

Like a lot of custom Android skins, it also has its own set of gestures for launching specific apps and functions. You can select to have it wake up when you tap the screen twice, or launch the camera when you draw an ‘O’, or the flashlight when you draw a ‘V’. Likewise it has some in-call gestures and motions. You can set it to switch from loudspeaker to earpiece when you lift the phone to your ear, or mute calls by placing the phone face down.

It also happens to have its own battery optimization tools, allowing you to manually choose which apps can and can’t run in the background when the phone is locked. Sometimes this is good, since it stops the battery from running down when you’re not using the phone. In other ways, it’s intensely frustrating, especially when it stops Strava from tracking one of my runs after just a couple of minutes, or when it stops the web browser-based version of WhatsApp from connecting to my phone.

If ColorOS was running on Android Marshmallow, it could simply make use of Google’s built-in ‘Doze’ mode for preventing excessive standby battery consumption. But it doesn’t, it runs on Lollipop. A phone, in 2016, running on a 2014 version of Google’s mobile OS.

Display

We’re getting to a point in the smartphone industry now where it’s very rare to find a device sporting a bad display. Almost everything in the mid-tier market and upwards has a 1080p (or greater) resolution panel with great color accuracy, sharpness and brightness. That’s certainly the case for the Oppo F1 Plus.

The 5.5-inch 1080p AMOLED display is great. Colors are really vibrant, which is really helped by all the brightly colored icons from the stock applications, and is a great screen for gaming on. Viewing angles are good, and colors don’t distort too much when looking at it from an angle. It’s easily one of the best displays I’ve seen on a mid-range device.

Camera

The main 13MP camera on the back is fine enough. Its f/2.2 aperture and phase detection autofocus mean you get mostly clear, sharp images with adequate depth of field. Plenty of noise creeps in during low light testing. It’s a passable smartphone camera, but sadly lacks the manual controls found in some of the most recent devices like the Huawei P9, Galaxy S7 or HTC 10.

Now, the front camera packs in even more pixels than the rear one. And, despite its relative tardiness and tendency to create blurry images if you move too quickly, or your hands are shaking, it can take some really sharp images. As long as you’re in good light, this will take the best selfies you’ve ever taken. Instagram will never be the same again.

Performance and Battery

With a 4GB RAM, a 2.0GHz octa-core MediaTek P10 processor and all of its aforementioned software optimizations, you could assume the Oppo F1 Plus has no trouble with performance. And you’d be right.

While its Geekbench scores for both single and multi-core performance are far from the best, it’s got enough power to compete with most of last year’s best phones. This from a phone which costs almost half what today’s best devices will set you back. Switching between apps, and various parts of the overall user interface is almost always smooth. Apps and games load quickly, as does web content.

It’s not the fastest phone I’ve ever used, and the frame rate isn’t exactly speedy during intense gaming or more advanced benchmark tests, but it’s not sluggish. Frame drops and stuttering happens, but not so much that you’d complain about using a slow phone.

Battery likewise is decent. The 2,850mAh battery can easily make its way through a full day for me with heavy or light usage. Regardless of how fast the battery drains, it charges up again ridiculously quickly. Left alone in standby, it can go from 0-100% in just over an hour plugged in to the proprietary VOOC charger. In fact, it charges almost as quickly when being used, and doesn’t get overly warm, as I discovered in my recent test.

Wrap-Up

Despite its flaws and imperfections, I can’t pretend like I didn’t enjoy using the Oppo F1 Plus. Oppo got a lot right with it, and many of those things are appreciable on a daily basis, in regular day-to-day usage. It feels great in hand, despite being big, runs smoothly most of the time and has a keyboard that’s easy to type on. Yes, there are many improvements to be made, both from a hardware and software perspective, but I’d happily use it as my daily driver.
