LG TV
LG has been successful manufacturing all the different sorts and sizes of Television for long. Every year they release a lot of TVs, probably more than anybody else. Most of them are inexpensive, but they rarely offer good value compared to their competition. Over the past few years, LG has become more familiar for manufacturing their OLED and IPS LCD TVs. Their OLEDs performance especially notable for being the first of their kind to be widely distributed.
Some competitors like Samsung TVs will, on average, have a better picture quality than most LG TVs. This, of course, doesn't apply to LG's OLED series of TVs, which trump Samsung's offerings in almost every aspect. They do come at a definite price premium though.
Most LG TVs, unfortunately, don't offer the best value. While their IPS LCD offerings offer great viewing angles which are useful for wider living rooms, they aren't the only ones in this space, and competition will often best them. They were pioneers when it comes to OLED, and they still offer the best TVs on the market, but that, unfortunately, isn't representative of their whole range.
The best LG TV in the market is the C7 4k OLED TV. It offers exceptional picture quality thanks to its ability to display pure blacks. These TVs are capable of shutting off pixels individually, allowing for an effectively infinite contrast ratio. Pixels switch from one state to another instantly, so moving objects do not have long trails following them, making watching sports bliss. Viewing angles are unmatched too, making this TV especially good for wide rooms. Combined with the updated WebOS 3.5 smart platform, this makes the C7 very difficult to beat.
Sony doesn't offer as many models in their range, but it isn't any narrower than LG's since it is a bit more diverse. They offer both VA and IPS type LCD TVs, and for 2017 they even have an OLED model. We've also found Sony's IPS TVs to usually have better screen uniformity compared to their LG counterparts.
Hisense HD TV
Brand name is an important factor in TV choice. Just ask Vizio, whose TVs are routinely pooh-poohed by some buyers compared to the Samsungs and Sonys of the world, despite superior image quality. Hisense considered as one of the best largest TV brands in the world, with stuff available in over 130 countries. Hisense holds the #3 TV share position globally* and has held the #1 TV share position in China for 14 consecutive years.
Now Chinese TV maker Hisense takes a page from Vizio's playbook. Hisense Co., Ltd. is a Chinese multinational white goods and electronics manufacturer headquartered in Qingdao, Shandong province, China. It is a state-owned enterprise with publicly traded subsidiaries. Its latest lineup of sets expands beyond budget offerings -- think cheap Roku TVs and smaller 4K models -- to include bigger screens (up to 86 inches) and better tech (local dimming and quantum dots).
Along with all of that comes a higher price, including a few models with real upscale aspirations. Here's the lineup. If you're looking for something simple and affordable, the Hisense H3 series is a great place to start looking'. Available in 32-, 40-, and 50-inch sizes, these no-frills LED TVs number amongst the increasingly rare non-4K/HDR/smart options for 2016.
Hisense made of the best entry level TV. One big issue with entry-level TVs is that, while a lot of them are capable of looking very good, they aren't set up properly out of the box. While you certainly wouldn't want to pay a calibrator to "fix" your super-cheap 32-inch TV, you also don't want one with blue-tinted whites, banding, or crushed details. Hisense TVs provide enough connectivity for everyone
Hisense 50- and 55-inch versions offer 4K resolution and HDR compatibility at prices that undercut our current favorite, Vizio's M series. The newer large sizes, up to 86 inches, do the same thing, and that size and the 70 incher offer the same core technology, full-array local dimming, that we like so much on the M and other high-performance LCDs. The 65- and 75-inch sizes also claim a wide color gamut that hits 83 percent of DCI, higher than what we measured on the Vizio M.
The new sizes (65-inch and up) include 4K and HDR streaming from Netflix and YouTube, although the latter hasn't added HDR content yet. They use a newly redesigned on screen interface, likely an improvement over Vizio's inconvenient Google Cast system.

Samsung Galaxy S9
The Galaxy S8 is probably one of the best phones in the market right now. Samsung has given the S8 an incredible edge-to-edge screen with great contrast and colors, and the entire phone looks very slick, to be honest. It’s fast too, because underneath its svelte exterior, the Samsung Galaxy S8 uses a speedy Snapdragon processor. It’s fast – as you’d expect from a Samsung flagship – but it’s also pretty gorgeous. Given the Samsung Galaxy S8 is still pretty new, it's unsurprising that there isn't too much to go on the Samsung Galaxy S9.
Samsung has announced its next Exynos chipset, bound for the Galaxy S9, will pack an LTE modem capable of 1.2Gbps download speeds. The Cat.18 6CA-supported LTE modem is 20% faster than last year’s and will likely make it into regional versions of the S9.Samsung’s model is the first to support 6CA (carrier aggregation).
The company describes it as combining a “given number of component carriers with various bandwidths, improving data transfer rates and network performance. “Samsung says the boost in speed will enable users to download a HD movie in just ten seconds. As long as they’re on a network capable of accessing such speeds. Not much is known about the Samsung Galaxy S9, but some sources claim the company has already started work on producing its next flagship phone. The Bell reports unnamed industry sources saying that Samsung has been hard at work on the display panels for the Galaxy S9 since late March 2017. The changes that are expected to be seen in Samsung Galaxy S9:
· Less fragile design
· A foldable screen
· Better fingerprint sensor
· A smaller version
· Make Bixby great, again
· A fingerprint sensor under the screen
· A lower price
· Dual-lens camera

iPhone 8
Apple released the very first iPhone way back in 2007 that was the beginning with the smartphone crazy era. Now 10 years on, Apple is reportedly planning a major revamp of the iPhone lineup – and it’s tipped to be called the iPhone 8. The big news this year is that Apple is expected to finally introduce OLED displays on the iPhone. Unlike conventional LCD panels, the pixels on an OLED screen produce their own light. That means the screen doesn’t need a backlight, saving power. Much of the recent talk surrounding the iPhone 8 has focused on its hardware.
Now, courtesy of a new leak, we can go back to speculating its design. The latest image -- via the web's resident handset leaker Evan Blass -- indicates Apple's next flagship will be mostly screen, and very little bezel. The render shows the new iPhone within a neon yellow case, much like the Urban Armor Gear shell for the iPhone 7. The next iPhone may make the leap from Touch ID to Face ID. According to Korea Economic Daily, Bloomberg and a JP Morgan analyst, Apple has been working on facial recognition technology that leverages dual cameras for "biometric" identification. Like Touch ID -- but with your face instead of your thumbprint.
Unlike the exclusive leaks Engadget obtained in May, the latest image is just of the front of the phone. It suggests the top of the phone will have a notch for the dual camera sensors and central earpiece -- the rest of the front will be taken up by the phone's display. As usual, it's best to greet this latest render with a dash of skepticism. For starters, the date on the iPhone is March, which indicates it could be a few months old.

Hydrogen 1
Camera maker Red is making its foray into the smartphone space. The company announced a phone called the Hydrogen One, which, the company claims, will be "the world’s first holographic media machine." The phone expected to feature a modular camera unit that users can switch out with various camera modules for "higher-quality motion and still images." It even have the ability to use a module that captures 3D footage in RED's own holographic video format, called Hydrogen. However, those modules won't be ready at launch.
The Hydrogen One will run the Android operating system on a 5.7-inch "hydrogen holographic display." It's not clear how sharp the display going to be, but RED touts that it'll display 3D "holographic" content without the need for special glasses, though the company didn't specify how 3D holographic content differs from traditional 3D content.
The Red Hydrogen One will work with Red’s professional camera program (it's unclear if one would actually be able to plug their Red DSLR cameras), and offer familiar user interface and monitor. Much like several recent flagship phones, the Red Hydrogen One will also come equipped with a USB-C port, but interestingly also has a micro SD card if you need more storage. A 3.5mm headphone jack will also be present.
Red Hydrogen One comes in two variants – Titanium and Aluminum – priced at $1,595 ( Rs 1,02,972 approx) and $1,195 (Rs 77,148 approx) respectively. The smartphone is up for pre-orders, with shipping expected to begin in Q1 2018 in the US. There’s no word on whether Red Hydrogen One will be available in other markets.

Huawei Mate 10
Huawei has the reputation of making consistently great phones for a number of years now, but they were struggled to establish themselves as a household name in western markets. Huawei going to change it around this time with its new flagship smartphone, Huawei P10. And the phone going to bring a lot of exciting changes to compete with stronger competitors in the market. The Mate 10, going to offer much longer battery life with a full-screen display, quicker charging speed, better photographing capability, and many other features that they are expecting to give a good competition to Apple.
Huawei will release the Mate 10 later this year. The Mate 10 will probably have to compete with the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S8 Plus, iPhone 8 Plus and many other big name handsets, so hopefully some of this comes true, to make it worth holding out until the end of the year to upgrade your phone. Huawei has opted for a Full HD display on the P10, unlike competition from LG and Samsung that have QHD panels. The screen is much the same as we saw on the Huawei P9, which we were mostly pretty happy with. It’s a touch smaller at 5.1 inches - the Huawei P9 was 5.2 inches.
The Mate 10’s processor might be the headliner, but its cameras are no slouch either. Battery life on the Huawei P10 has been improved compared to previous Huawei devices, but it’s still not great. An hour-long commute, listening to audio over Bluetooth and doing a spot of web browsing now and then brought the battery down by 15%. Here are all the major features that are going to be seen in the Huawei Mate 10:
· Weight: 145g
· Dimensions: 145.3 x 69.3 x 7mm
· OS: Android 7.0 Nougat
· Screen size: 5.1-inch
· Resolution: 1920 x 1080

· RAM: 4GB of RAM
· Storage: 32/64GB
· Battery: 3,200mAh
· Rear camera: 12MP + 20MP dual lens
· Front camera: 8MP
