Still in development, this ultra-basique terminal aims drugs from the laptop. But the "less is more" has a price. Drugged to Facebook and Twitter, you look about 500 times a day your smartphone. You perceive as a dependency to your digital security blanket? You want to win? You have two options: opt for a good old feature phone with 2G keyboard at 15 euros. But it's not very fancy. Or choose a minimalist smartphone, new trend of the moment. Lord? In form, it resembles a sleek smartphone but in the background, its functions are very limited. This is the case of the Light Phone that allows only to make calls (and 9 numbers)... A new version is in preparation, a little less radical since it will be possible to send messages through an E - ink screen text and will support 4 G (to do what, we don't know). It should also be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 2100 chip, dedicated originally to the connected objects, 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of memory storage. Indiegogo camp...

The South Korean wave a nice carrot to convince fans of Apple premium to the competition. Samsung is a master for a long time in marketing operations to encourage to buy its products: refund offers, bundles products and recovery of your old smartphone for the purchase of a model of its brand. In the latter case, the world number one today hits hard enough. The South Korean company made foot for iPhone X owners and not a little. Indeed, the manufacturer is ready to resume the last flagship headed for 800 euros (256 GB version) for the purchase of a Galaxy S9 happening so at 59 euros only.

In a few months, the screens have become a strong argument of differentiation in smartphones. Apple tried to compete in quality with Samsung, with its iPhone X. A site specializing in tests of slabs was awarded the laurels of the quality to the Apple model, believing that its screen is "the most innovative and the most powerful ever tested". But Apple won't have long kept this trophy. The specialist estimated that the OLED Quad HD + Infinity Display of the S9 is a notch above including thanks to improved color rendering and better visibility with a reflection of light compared to previous models. The accuracy of the colors of his slab is considered to be perfect, the screen is brighter than the previous generation, for the same energy consumption. The conclusion is final, the S9 screen is "the best ever tested screen" and the score of "Excellent A +".

If you look at the latest releases of the Galaxy S series, these Galaxy S9 are quite predictable in terms of design. I explain. The Galaxy S6 introduced the new design in metal and glass with curved screen, a proposal that was repeated with the Galaxy S7, although perfecting some details. In this sense, the Galaxy S9 is to the S8 what the S7 went to the S6. We have an aspect that follows the dictates of the previous generation; metal structure, glass back, curved edges and a front in which the screen is the absolute protagonist. The design of the Galaxy S9 maintains the excellent compaction work that we saw with the previous generation. It also maintains the same sizes, with a 5.8-inch panel for the basic model and a 6.2-inch panel for the Galaxy S9 +, the two Super AMOLED, with QHD + resolution and the same 18.5 9 format.

The Chinese manufacturer has gone, little by little, gaining ground to its rivals to match the binomial formed by the South Korean Samsung, the largest seller of mobile phones in the world, and the American Apple, the second in the ranking. Along with China's Xiaomi, it was the only brand that experienced growth during the last quarter of 2017, while all the others lost sales in the first global decline in the sector, according to data from technology consultancy Gartner.
