Performance is one of the key factors to consider when buying a smartphone. It isn’t the only one, the camera is important, as is the price, but if you are spending your hard-earned cash you want to know that your device can play the games you like and smoothly run the apps you use.
Speed Test G is made up of 10 standalone Android apps. Each app performs a task or simulates a real-world usage scenario and then exits.

Samsung has issued an update to the Galaxy S7 series. The update for the 2016 flagships simply brings the September 2020 security patch. Samsung announced earlier this year that it will be delivering three generations of Android version updates to a variety of devices. Unfortunately, the oldest phones and tablets included in this pledge only date back to 2019.
So we’re quite surprised to see the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge now receiving an update, according to SamMobile and users on Reddit.
You can now download the Galaxy S8 wallpapers via the full sized pngs embedded below (apologies for slow paging loading times, pngs are dogs) or as a zipped package here. There’s 18 in total, six of each type: gradients, night sky and those funky geometric things. Droid Views has a bunch of others, and you can see them in action in my Galaxy S8 color comparison. Happy wallpapering.

Motorola One Fusion is a cheaper, stripped-down version of the Plus. It’s available in Latin America and, later this month, the Middle East. Last month the Motorola One Fusion Plus launched without much fanfare. On paper, it seems a pretty good deal for its €300 price tag. Now, Motorola’s introducing a lower-spec version of the phone without the Plus moniker.
A similar story takes shape at the rear.
That five camera Nokia smartphones leak sure looks interesting, or should that be weird? As unique as such a design might seem, Nokia wouldn’t be the first to cram an unorthodox number of lenses and sensors into a small form factor. The Light L16 offered 16 lens photography back in 2015 and the company apparently has a new prototype in the works too. See above for a potential example.
With the Huawei P20 Pro already sporting a triple camera design, a step up to a five camera smartphone doesn’t sound as ridiculous as it would have done just a couple of years ago.
Samsung has been hard at work marketing the Galaxy S3. In addition to the surplus of advertisements, the company is trying to make the device appeal to as many different personalities as possible. What’s the best way to do this? Release more colors of course!
After previous rumors of new colors, we thought Samsung was all done. But behold, it is releasing a pink Galaxy S3. This will join the original Pebble Blue and Marble White colors as well as the newer colors, including Amber Brown, Garnet Red, Sapphire Black and Titanium Grey.
