Phablets

Watch out Galaxy Note 8, because there's a new top-spec, super-sized smartphone in town. The Huawei Mate 10 has a 5.9-inch LCD screen with a home button underneath, while the Mate 10 Pro features a 6-inch OLED​ display and an almost bezel-free design.​

In a match between the new iPhone 7 Plus and the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, which smartphone comes out on top? Here's how the the expensive, stylus-navigated Note 7 stacks up to Apple's latest and greatest, the iPhone 7 Plus.

The Galaxy Note 7 may be Samsung's smallest step forward in the lineup's five year history, but that doesn't mean it isn't still a Smartphone of the Year candidate that's worth a look when shopping for your next phone. But is it our top choice?

Between homework, official university communication and entirely online courses, some degree of personal computing is necessary to get through campus life. So what’s best for a college student: a laptop, a tablet, a 2-in-1, or some other magical blend of devices?

Both the Galaxy Note 7 and S7 edge tidily package all of Samsung's high-end advantages. Their biggest difference can be ascertained at first glance: the Note 7 is a full-on phablet with a big screen and nimble stylus. The sans-stylus S7 edge is just a notch below the Note in size and adaptability.

Samsung's Galaxy Note 7​ may have a name that's two generations ahead of last year's Note 5​, but its practical and aesthetic advances are incremental, even for one generation's progress. Is it enough to warrant the upgrade? Let's glean what we can by comparing their features and specs.

​Today Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note 7​ at a Manhattan event. Afterwards, we got some hands-on time with the latest "minor but possibly upgrade-worthy" iteration of the stylus-laden phablet.

If you're shopping for a plus-sized phone this holiday season, the Google/Huawei Nexus 6P and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ may be two of your best bets. But is Samsung's phablet worth the extra dough?

Later this month Google will start shipping a new flagship phone that be one of Android's best alternatives to the iPhone 6s Plus. Let's compare the Nexus 6P's features and specs to those of Apple's new phablet.

After Google took screen size to an extreme with last year's Nexus 6, the company pulled it back a bit with the 5.7-inch Nexus 6P. That happens to be the same size as the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.

Humongous phones are no longer the novelties they once were; in fact you can expect these two phablets to be two of the most popular handsets during the next year. Let's size up the new iPhone 6s Plus next to Samsung's Galaxy Note 5.

For years, iPhones were the only smartphones that combined premium materials with gorgeous designs. But recently we've seen several Android flagships play that game at least as well. The Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ is the best example we've seen.
