Top 5 Best Smartphones Of The MWC 2017
The mobile phone sector holds its most important event in Barcelona each year, the Mobile World Congress (MWC). It is the ideal framework for manufacturers to make presentations and demonstrations of their novelties.
One of the most notable absences has been the Galaxy S8 and S8 +, for which Samsung will dedicate a presentation event on March 29, where they will have all the protagonism. It has not introduced smartphones, but it has shown the Galaxy Tab S3, it is the most powerful tablet that bets on the 4K and S-Pen, as well as Galaxy Book, a convertible for demanding professionals.
In this MWC, we have also seen other important proposals, such as Oppo’s innovative optical zoom system, or the first demonstration of remote driving of a car thanks to 5G.

Recently, the smartphone was spotted at Wi-Fi Alliance, another stop the Galaxy J7 (2017) must make before going official. After receiving its Wi-Fi certification, the handset should be ready for prime time since it has already cleared the FCC and got its Bluetooth certification not long ago.
The Galaxy J7 (2017) is a decent mid-range handset, which, according to the Wi-Fi Alliance documents, will ship with Android 7.0 Nougat operating system right out of the box.
Hardware-wise, the device is just as competitive thanks to an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor. The powerful CPU is paired with just 2GB RAM and 16GB of expandable memory.
We've also learned the Galaxy J7 (2017) is supposed to pack a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and a secondary 5-megapixel camera on the front for selfies and video calls.
So, there you have it, folks. Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) is one step closer to release, at least in the United States.
There was no big announcement, no hoopla, and no product introduction video starring the voice of Jony Ive. Right under everyone's noses, Apple launched a 32GBApple iPhone 6 in Gold for certain Asian markets. When the iPhone 6 was originally released in 2014, the phone was offered in 16GB, 64GB and 128GB variants. The phone is considered new because Apple never had an iPhone 6 model for sale with 32GB in native storage.
The unit has been available in China since late last month as a low-price version of the iPhone. It will launch on Taiwan Mobile on March 10th. The model will not be available from retail stores or from Apple's website. There, the low price choice remains the Apple iPhone SE. The latter is more powerfully spec'd than the iPhone 6, but with a smaller 4-inch screen.
Taiwan Mobile is offering the 32GB iPhone 6 for free with a monthly plan priced at the equivalent of $45 USD a month for 30 months. The carrier is calling it a limited-edition model. On the Taiwan Mobile website is a countdown timer that ticks down toward the March 10th launch.

The LG G6 is hitting shelves this month in South Korea and other select markets, but we've heard that it may not be released in the US before April. While all major US carriers already confirmed the upcoming launch of the new smartphone, they only mentioned that the device would be available sometime "this spring." Fortunately, it looks like this doesn't meanlate spring. Or at least not for T-Mobile.
Promo material posted on Twitter (apparently by someone who works at T-Mobile) shows the magenta carrier's G6 with an April 7 date on its home screen. Quite often, promo images like these can reveal launch dates in this manner - via what's seen on a phone's home screen.
A previous rumor had it that the LG G6 would arrive in the US exactly on April 7. And this day will indeed be a Friday, as the screen of T-Mobile's G6 shows (you can see that if you zoom in close enough on the image above). Thus, we are certainly expecting T-Mobile to start selling the new handsets on April 7.
At the moment, we don't know how much the LG G6 will cost in the US, but it's probably safe to assume it's not going to be cheaper than $600 off contract. Until we hear more on this, make sure to check out our LG G6 preview for a closer look at the device.

Tecno N2S is one smartphone of a kind for those who have relatively big devices but want to test Android 6.0 Marshmallow. After Tecno W4 featuring Android 6.0 Marshmallow and an OTA update for Tecno Camon C8, Tecno N2S is another device to run Marshmallow out-of-box.
Remember the first ever Tecno Mobile smartphone in Kenya, the Tecno N3S then? This device was going for 7k when it launched in 2012 when I first acquired my first smartphone. In 2012, I managed to buy the Tecno N3S back then after I had lost my Samsung Galaxy Young Duos.
The phone performed beat; WhatsApp working just fine. Only that it had no internal memory that’s why it came with an 8GB SD card. Multiple games would not work on this phone since it only had 256MB RAM that would not run multiple apps. That was just a helpful flashback. Tecno N2S is much more improved and better than Tecno N3S back then in all aspects.
