<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n2017 saw the release of Huawei’s flagship “P” series handsets – the P10 and P10 Plus. Both handsets come with dual rear-facing Leica lenses and a sleek design – albeit without the nearly bezel-less display that’s become the new standard on flagship smartphones.<\/p>\n
With its range of colours and premium features, the P10 and P10 Plus are fantastic handsets, but they also come with a premium price tag. If you want a Huawei handset that forms part of the P10 family but costs a bit less then you might want to consider the P10 Lite. It doesn’t come with the same front-facing fingerprint scanner \/ home button \/ navigation “trackpad” that the P10 and P10 Plus have, nor does it have the Leica lenses, but it’s still a great handset despite not having all the high-end features.<\/p>\n
The P10 Lite features:<\/p>\n
- \n
- 5.2-inch full HD LCD display<\/li>\n
- Rear-mounted fingerprint scanner<\/li>\n
- 3000mAh battery<\/li>\n
- Fast charge<\/li>\n

Apple announced three new phones in 2017 – the iPhone, iPhone 8 Plus and the iPhone X.<\/p>\n
While the iPhone 8 Plus has a rear-facing dual camera setup, and the iPhone X is the future of iPhone, the regular iPhone 8 has been largely overlooked. This is due to the fact that the iPhone 8 is almost identical (in terms of looks) to the iPhone 6, 6S and 7.<\/p>\n
It sports the same design, no 3.5mm headphone jack and the same camera bump on the back that we’ve all become used to.<\/p>\n
Having said that, there are\u00a0<\/em>some notable differences with the iPhone 8:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
- \n
- Glass body which allows for wireless charging<\/li>\n
- New A11 Bionic chip<\/li>\n
- 12MP rear-facing camera with OIS<\/li>\n
- 7MP HD Facetime camera<\/li>\n
- Bluetooth 5.0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Huawei P9 Lite<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nHuawe’s P9 Lite continues to be a firm favourite amongst Android users. The lower spec’d, budget friendly version of Huawei’s 2016 flagship P9 range has all the things you’d expect in a modern day smartphone – fingerprint scanner, good camera and good battery life.<\/p>\n
It does not have the Leica dual camera setup found in Huawei’s flagship smartphones, nor does it have a USB Type C port, but that doesn’t detract from the overall greatness of this phone.<\/p>\n
P9 Lite features:<\/p>\n
- \n
- 5.2-inch full HD display<\/li>\n
- Rear mounted fingerprint scanner<\/li>\n
- Expandable storage<\/li>\n
- 13MP rear facing camera<\/li>\n
- 8MP front facing camera<\/li>\n
- 3000mAh battery<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Samsung Galaxy S8+<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.pricecheck.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-12-21-at-15.45.26-239x300.png\")
<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nSamsung’s smartphone design has improved enormously over the past few years, with the Galaxy S8 and S8+ proving to be the best designed smartphones ever made by the South Korean company to date.<\/p>\n
The nearly bezel-less AMOLED Infinity Display, glass body and IP rating and inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack have made these handsets some of the best this year.<\/p>\n
The S8+ has an enormous 6.2-inch Quad HD+ display in a body that’s slimmer than that of the iPhone 8 Plus.<\/p>\n
Other than the gorgeous display, the S8+ has other great features:<\/p>\n
- \n
- 3500mAh battery with wireless charging and fast charging<\/li>\n
- Dual Pixel 12MP OIS (F1.7) rear-facing camera<\/li>\n
- 8MP AF (F1.7) front-facing camera<\/li>\n
- IP68 rating<\/li>\n
- Expandable storage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- SD card slot<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
