Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus tested
My colleague Fabian started the week with a review of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus. He was able to look at the smartphone for a long time and test whether it was worthwhile for the price, which is now only 850 euros. In the course of this, he also drew some comparisons to the Galaxy S21 Ultra. His conclusion: With the Galaxy S21 Plus, Samsung has launched an all-round solid flagship smartphone. However, he still feels the current price is too high and you have to make some compromises compared to the Ultra. He would therefore wait to buy until the price has reached 800 euros.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 presented
Samsung introduced several smartphones and wearables this week. You probably particularly liked the Galaxy Z Fold3, which is why we are going to take a closer look at it here in the Weekly. This is the third edition of Samsung's first foldable smartphone. Probably the biggest innovations with this one are that it is now waterproof and comes with its own S-Pen. The updates for the displays are also not insignificant. While the outer now supports 120 Hertz, the inner houses a front camera under the panel. as ProThe current Snapdragon 888 from Qualcomm is used as processor. You can find more details in the article by my colleague Nils Ahrensmeier:
OPPO Enco Air review
A non-Samsung report also made it into the top 3 this week. And that is the test report on the OPPO Enco Air by Dominik from the TechnikNews-Team. He had the headphones review for two weeks and was thus able to form an opinion about the in-ears. In his conclusion, he writes that Enco Air would sound very good. He criticizes, however, that the wearing comfort is not so good. This is due to the fact that the headphones come without silicone attachments. You can read the exact information here:
