Besides the staggering similarity between the smartphone and the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus it is just a bit larger but still has the same screen size though. It is also the exactly the same with the smaller S9 model albeit it’s dual rear camera and larger size. There’s also the curved edges that many has been trying to imitate including Nokia’s new flagship, the Nokia 8 Sirocco smartphone.
Everything is pretty much the same as it is before with the large AMOLED infinity display with no bezels on the side. You also have the same 6.2-inch 2960 X 1440 pixels display having a 529 ppi pixel density. You can check up our review on the Samsung Galaxy S9 which is the same as this except besides smaller.

Featuring a 3, 500mAh Li-ion battery, it has a wireless charging and you could also charge through the USB Type-C port with the Quick charge technology.
Moving on to the dual camera featured on the smartphone that provides the 2X optical zoom is the only thing differentiating the smartphone from the Samsung Galaxy S9 smartphone. There’s also an OIS and dual aperture feature already discussed in the S9 smartphone. It features a dual 12MP with one having the dual aperture (f/1.5, f/2.4) feature same as in the S9 smartphone while the other has a f/2.4 aperture.

The much anticipated wait is over, the Samsung Galaxy S9 flagship has been released in the MWC 2018 event in Barcelona, Spain. It was released alongside the bigger variant, the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus. The smartphone comes with an improved camera but with about the same features as the former Samsung Galaxy S8. The Samsung Galaxy S9 also has a similar look with its predecessor but with an increased AI presence for more features. Join me as we exhume the features on this smartphone one by one.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 looks very much like its predecessor maintaining the nice premium build as seen before. It is also made up of a combination of metal and glass to give a smartphone that is both classy and stylish. However, the Samsung Galaxy S9 is a tad thicker and heavier too which makes it feel more premium when held knowing fully well you are holding a 9th generation Samsung Galaxy smartphone. Although the significant change here is the fingerprint sensor which was criticized for previously being in an awkward position at the side of the camera, has been relocated to the side but is still part of the camera module which is in a unusual.
The top bezel also appears to be a bit slimmer than before with more conscious effort from Samsung to hide the sensors more. The Samsung Galaxy S9 maintains the 3.5mm audio jack some premium flagships has been leaving out lately which is a nice thing.
One of the great things about the Samsung Galaxy S8 flagship is its rich vibrant display which is the same except for being a bit smaller at 5.8-inch. There is still the 18.5:9 aspect ratio as before which allows you to have more screen space without being unnecessarily large. To conserve power, the screen runs on a full HD resolution by default which you might decide to change if you want to the maximum 2960 X 1440 pixels (570 PPI). Also, you’ve got that curved display with nothing in the way at the sides which is sort of a charmer if you look at it. Samsung Galaxy S9 offers Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for protection against scratches and easy damage.
Battery and CameraAs much as we would have loved to see a larger battery capacity the Samsung Galaxy S9 only comes with a 3, 000mAh battery. This is sort of problem with its predecessor but the setup conserves power and the quick charge is still present using the USB Type-C connector.
There is more AI integration into the camera featured on the Samsung Galaxy S9 which is more of a thing in most high-end flagship trying to offer the next milestone capturing experience. Additionally, you have a new 12MP tear camera with the DRAM chip mounted on top. This deliver power directly to the camera, hence, a much quicker processing speed. Another great thing, is the dual aperture technology which switches between a f/1.5 and f/2.4.
This is dependent on the brightness of the environment, it utilizes a smaller aperture when there is much light to give a better picture and then to the bigger one when there’s less light. Also one of the features of the Samsung Galaxy S9 that was showcased at the MWC 2018 event, is the slow motion capturing up to 960fps at 720p. While this is cool, the problem is the timing to capture the really fast actions. The solution is the motion detector which automatically starts the recording once motion is detected.
Unlike the older model, the Samsung Galaxy S9 comes with a better selfie experience by help reducing noise in pictures taken. The smartphone recruits a 8MP sensor for a better wide angle selfies. Another highlight is the Bixby Vision which helps to translate live texts written in a foreign language to your native language. Samsung also stated the camera can help you estimate the amount of calories in your food although how it does this is still unclear.
Hardware and SoftwareUnder the hood, the Samsung Galaxy S9 offers two different options based on your region of course. While let’s say in the USA, there are some carriers that might not work with a certain chipset. To avoid this, the Samsung is rolling out with two different SoCs. For users in USA and China you have an Octa-core Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 845 processor with an Adreno 630 GPU. For the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa) there’s an Octa-core Exynos 9810 chipset with a Mali-G72 MP18 GPU.
In segue, the Samsung Galaxy S9 features a 4GB RAM which is enough for a smooth performance in my own opinion. You also have a 64GB internal storage space with variants of 128GB and 256GB respectively. The smartphone supports a memory card up to 200GB for more storage space. Samsung Galaxy S9 runs on Android 8.0 Oreo with the Samsung Experience UI formerly referred to as TouchWiz.
Pricing and Availability
The Samsung Galaxy S9 has announced is available for pre-order but will not be rolling out until March 16 which is just a few weeks away for £739 which is about 373, 000 Naira. This is much cheaper than the iPhone X, Apple’s flagship.
Here are a few specs of the Samsung Galaxy S9:

Google has made another run at the former Android One OS for entry level smartphones which was not too successful the last time. Now under the Android Go banner with some smartphones set to release in the MWC 2018. However, the Alcatel 1X smartphone has already been announced by Alcatel. The entry level smartphone will be shipping with Android 8.0 Oreo (Go edition) from the box.

The smartphone looks long due to the 18:9 which is rapidly becoming a thing in smartphones of all categories. The upper and bottom are trimmed to accommodate more screen space. At first glance, the Alcatel 1X doesn’t quite look like an entry level smartphone which is shows its build quality.
Much like other entry level smartphone, the Alcatel 1X is quite on a low resolution display. It ships with a 480 X 960 pixels on a 5.3-inch LCD panel. It is not much but it is acceptable at the entry level and enough for day to day usage.
Battery and CameraEntry level smartphones are generally known for their not too large battery capacity. This is largely due to the fact not much power is needed considering the little specs it offers. On that note, the Alcatel 1X smartphone sports only a 2, 460mAh Li-ion battery.
For an entry level smartphone, the 13MP rear camera with flash featured here is a good enough feature. Also, the Alcatel 1X comes with a 5MP front camera that should take some decent selfies. Although, not much is expected for a smartphone with a low budget price.
Hardware and SoftwareNot much can be expected from the Alcatel 1X and it doesn’t give much too. With an entry level Quad-core MediaTek MT6739 processor running at 1.3GHz a decent performance is expected. On the graphics front, the smartphone has a PowerVR GE8100 GPU.
Typically, the Alcatel 1X smartphone has a 1GB internal memory and a 16GB storage space inside with support for a MicroSD up to 16GB. The interesting feature here has said earlier is the Go Edition Android 8.0 Oreo tweaked to give a more smooth performance on the smartphone.
Pricing and AvailabilityThe Alcatel 1X smartphone is due to release on April and is said to be sold for an equivalent of 36, 000 Naira for the single sim model and a about 40, 000 Naira for the dual SIM model.
Here are a few specs of the Alcatel 1X:

Cooking your next meal does not have to be an elaborate affair. You could keep things simple yet efficient by opting for 2-burner tabletop gas cookers. They are compact, fit on your traditional kitchen cabinet and overall, are very reliable when it comes to gas consumption.
Those and much more make these options some of the hottest selling home appliances on the market.
Should you be in the market for a unit to call your own too, we have come up with some of the best 2-burner tabletop gas cookers that will make your kitchen experience a delight.
1 Universal Tabletop Two Burner Gas Cooker
Universal accepts that you will be addressed according to how you are dressed. For that reason, they have made their Tabletop Two Burner Gas Cooker a real beauty to behold.
But then, beauty does not get the food done. That is why they have also built the unit with an elegant stainless-steel body that can withstand rust from having liquids pour on it. There is also support for rigorous cooking (as is common in the African kitchen), an auto-ignition technology that helps you save massively on matchboxes and two efficient burners for faster cooking.
The unit is easy to install for use and uninstall for cleaning. It also works with the least gas supply, helping you use your refills for longer. With controls for adjusting flame when cooking too, there is no going wrong with this pick
2 Century Gas Tabletop Cooker CGS-201-A
Century promises that their CGS-201-A unit comes with one of the sturdiest builds on the market. More than that though is the promise of a high effectiveness in gas use and consumption.
The tabletop comes with two burners to help you multitask better to get food done faster. The good news is that none of these burners operates at a lesser efficiency than the other, giving you the same output across boards.
Additionally, the infrared burners are easy to set up and maintain too.
3 Binatone Gas Cooker SSGC-0002
Binatone is already a household name and they made a kitchen statement with the SSGC-0002 model. Requiring neither batteries nor matches for ignition, the silver-coloured unit was made of a stainless-steel build.
The steel has been evened out and glossed in such a way that it doesn’t retain water that would have otherwise led to rust. The gas cooker ensures very clean cooking, burning a highly efficient flame without leaving soot behind.
The portable nature of this cooker makes sure you can place it almost anywhere in your kitchen and move it around later. Easy to set up, operate and manage, a simple wipe with a wet napkin after us will get the unit clean again.
4 AKAI Tabletop Gas Cooker (+ Grill)
We have been talking about 2-burner tabletop gas cookers, but AKAI’s Tabletop Gas Cooker brings a twist to the list. On first sighting the unit, some of the things you will notice are the double burner stoves. The silver colour is also a shimmering delight, but none of those compares to the extra feature – a grill.
AKAI understands that you might want more than the normal, everyday meal. That is why they made a provision for you to barbecue along with your cooking. The good news is that you don’t need to make a special fire to get the grill running. With the same gas-saving technology on the burner, the grill has also been optimised to get your food done the right way with the least pollution and energy consumption
5 Nulek Table Glass Top Gas Cooker
The Nulek Table Glass Top Gas Cooker has a sturdy design no doubt, but we won’t recommend it for use in a household with kids. Otherwise, the glass top build is a premium feature that should be a part of your kitchen. It is an ideal pick for fancy restaurant owners too.
Going under the surface, the double infrared burner plates make use of auto-ignition technology to start up. The pans have been specially treated for rust. Spillage of liquids will have nothing on your burner stoves.
The lightweight unit takes up as little space as possible and for that, does not even sacrifice on quality. Again, no burner on this piece is faster than the other. They are both equipped to burn at the same minimum and maximum rates which can be adjusted with the help of designated knobs.
6 Restpoint Glass Tabletop Gas Cooker
We agree that what a gas cooker needs to do is get your food cooked, but other features of the Restpoint Glass Tabletop Gas Cooker are equally worth appreciating.
Starting with the outside, one will find a unit built with refined stainless-steel material. In turn, that gives the tabletop gas cooker its elegant look and excellent durability. It burns with a bright blue flame to ensure none of your cooking appliances gets coated black with soot.
Finished with a tempered glass top, the auto-igniting unit is highly portable and saves you a ton of gas.
Considering the variety of offerings this list gives you, it is hard to disagree that they are great picks from the league of the very best 2-burner tabletop gas cookers out there. Some with a grill, a few with premium glass top builds and a host of them coming with auto-ignition, which one do you feel your kitchen calling out to right now?

Even though it is a compact washing machine, the Century CW-8521 B is able to take as much as 7.8kg of clothes at a time. This it makes possible by having to sacrifice a double tub configuration for a single tub design.

The Compact Washing Machine is also resistant to electric shock (Class 1), comes with a buzzer and timer setup and above all, gives you protection against overloading. All these makes the Century CW-8521 B one of the Best Compact Washing Machines if you are looking for functionality.
So much more in a single, compact tub. You can buy this machine at around 24,000 Naira.
