The recent legal process between Apple and Samsung turned out to be a gold mine of closely guarded secrets. The legal saga, which dragged on for almost five years and ended with the North Koreans admitting the theft of intellectual property, revealed many interesting facts about the Silicon Valley company. Among other things, the fact that Apple created a bunch of different designs for the iPhone smartphone, but they never saw the light of day. Below you can see all the rejected designs for the iPhone smartphone.

The Japanese are proven bacillophobes, i.e. people who are obsessed with germs and dirt. And you've probably heard that dirt, bacteria and even feces live on our smartphones. Among them are coliform bacteria, which are found in feces and can cause gastrointestinal infections. That's why the Japanese company Kyocera developed a smartphone that can be washed at will. Waterproof phones are nothing new in Japan, but until now none could be cleaned really thoroughly, that is, even with soap and a brush. Kyocero Digno Rafre can!
The Huawei Mate S smartphone is not only beautifully elegant to look at and powerful. It also boasts the latest technology that upgrades touch control. The fingerprint reader on the back takes care of this. It is placed exactly where the thumb is in a normal position. However, it is not only used for safe unlocking, although it does this in an exemplary manner, without errors and, above all, lightning fast. Find out more below.
We are not used to LG Electronics sending metal smartphones to the market, but for the Zero, LG thought of new clothes. So he put on it a light and thin metal case made of aluminum. It is an extremely powerful phone that is also coming to the European market at an extremely attractive price of 269 euros. And what will we get for this 147 grams of technology?
Pepsi has added a smartphone to its fleet of carbonated soft drinks. Yes, you read that right. Products such as Pepsi Cola, Zero Pepsi Max, Pepsi True, ... are now being joined by Pepsi P1, which you will not find on the beverage shelves, but in the technology section. It is an affordable phone and Pepsi has signed it with the logo on the back.
There's no denying the fact that most smartphones today are quite similar. It seems that we are stuck with "design" at least. That's why the Dras smartphone concept created by R&D Core Limited is all the more interesting. It is a smartphone that can be folded.
The most advanced technology. The look of the eighties. This is the iPhone 6S Retro smartphone that will awaken your nostalgic feelings. Many things were better in the eighties than today. Music, mustaches, action movies, ... But not technology. Take Apple's Apple IIe computer from 1983. A vanilla-colored "box" that is a worthless piece of technology by today's standards. But the ColorWare company found the muse in it to create the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus smartphone with a retro look.
The Samsung Galaxy On5 and On7 are new mid-range smartphones from the Korean giant that won't fly under Samsung's European radar. Samsung is said to stop selling low-cost phones (those with a retail price below 250 euros) in Europe due to intensified competition. Despite the compromises, both models from the On family show enviable muscles that will charm many users.
The HTC One A9, or iPhone's lost twin, as you might call it, is a blasphemous combination of Apple design and Google software. HTC had no choice but to go all or nothing, because despite the interesting and better models than the competition that it sent to the market this year, it failed to convince (enough) buyers to sleep peacefully. However, the One A9 model will be hard to miss, because the sophisticated design hides top-notch hardware, and the result is downright toxic.
With the last conference, Microsoft gave a lot of work to the competition, as it presented a range of exceptional technological products that are one step ahead of others. One of these is the Lumia 950 smartphone (and even more so the 950 XL), which will also shake up the world of personal computers. The phone is equipped with the mobile operating system Windows 10 Mobile, and its capacity is evidenced by, among other things, the fact that it has a built-in cooling system based on water cooling, as a result of which it does not "burn out" even under the greatest loads.
LG has already proven several times that it is not afraid to experiment (just remember the curved LG Flex model), but with this model it has surpassed itself. It is his most daring move in the field of smartphones so far. The LG V10 is indeed a "mere" alternative to the G4 model, but buyers get two bonuses. As many as two screens on the front and as many as three cameras.
People like to identify with winners, so the Chinese Zopo, a newcomer to the Slovenian mobile phone market, recently introduced the collectible smartphone Zopo Speed 7 GP (Jorge Lorenzo Edition), which exudes the spirit and power of the two-time motorcycle champion in the royal class, Jorge Lorenzo. Like the Spaniard's motorcycle, the phone also bears the number 99, but of course it also has the signature of one of the best motorcyclists of recent years, who is in a fierce fight for the title this year as well. Much like Zopo is in a bitter battle with mobile competition. The phone will also be available in Slovenia!
