    The Review

    72% Average

    The Samsung Demo Phone currently tops our rank of the greatest Samsung phones available, beating even the pricier iPhone Ultra Max Mega.

    So unsurprisingly this is an absolutely fantastic phone. The design isn't massively changed from the previous generation, but most other elements have been upgraded. This is what we call a big boost.

    • Display 85 %
    • Performance 80 %
    • Features 55 %
    • Usability 75 %
    • Battery Life 64 %
    • User Ratings (4 Votes) 53 %

    To understand the new smart watched and other pro devices of recent focus, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement.

    Apple’s Watch records exercise, tracks our moves throughout the day, checks the amount of time we are stood up and reminds us to get up and move around if we have been sat for too long – let’s not forget Tim Cooks “sitting is the new coolness” line.


    What we like:

    • Angled second screen is quite useful.
    • Durability is top notch.
    • Better dual-screen software.
    • Powerful hardware features.

    What we dislike:

    • Less battery life than other options.
    • Keyboard and trackpad are flimsy.
    • No native dual-screen support.
    • Weighs more than average.

    It achieves this by means of an accelerometer, a heart rate sensor and GPS. There are already many smartwatches on the market such as the Pebble and Apple.

    As you’re tapping, scrolling, and swiping on your phone, you probably don’t give much thought to the fact that your apps are consuming electricity – just that they’re chipping away at your battery life.

    It’s engaging. It’s hopeful. It pushes the plot forward.

    Before you click away, disappointed that I brought up something as practical and boring as time management, hear me out. My intent is not to crush your spirits.

    To its detractors, love at first sight must be an illusion – the wrong term for what is simply infatuation, or a way to sugarcoat lust.

    • Take a social media hiatus. According to a recent survey from everyday health, why not dial that back for the holidays?
    • Stick to your new routine. It’s tempting to shake up your typical schedule when the holidays come around, but women’s health expert.
    • Be intentional about fitness. If working out is a de-stressor for you 365 day.

    Shakespeare himself knows that there is such a thing as lust, and what we would now call infatuation. He’s no fool. People who exhibit the perfectionism are fearful of failure.
