Check out our complete coverage of MWC 2023

Mobile World Congress 2011 is nearing, and Samsung has begun to hype its new Galaxy S phone. We already saw a teaser released last month announcing Samsung would show off the new model at MWC, and now it’s giving us the briefest of brief glimpses at the device itself (check out the video below).

From what we’ve heard, it will feature a Super AMOLED Plus display (improved from the original Galaxy S), 8-megapixel camera, 1080p high-def video recording, and an HDMI port. It may also come with LTE 4G technology and a dual-core processor. We do know that it will run on Gingerbread, so those 0.4 percent operating on Android 2.3 will see a bump. Everything else is unconfirmed as of yet, but it’s fun to dream.

Samsung Galaxy A53 vs. OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G in white and black.

The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G is possibly the best mid-range phone you'll see all year. Featuring a luscious 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, it looks stunning. Its performance isn't to be sniffed at either, with its five-nanometer Exynos 1280 chip, 6GB of RAM, quadruple-lens rear camera setup, and 5,000mAh battery.

Of course, in a world where overachieving mid-range phones are now becoming the norm, its bid for supremacy isn't unchallenged. If you're an Android fan, one of its biggest rivals is the OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G. This is another device that punches above its weight in performance, helped by an alluring 6.43-inch AMOLED display, a triple-lens camera, and 65W fast-charging. However, with the strengths of each phone residing in different areas, it's difficult to decide which is the better device for you.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus vs. Samsung Galaxy Tab S8

A Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 held up with a cover on.

Samsung has revised its playbook for the Galaxy Tab S8 series. Instead of sticking with two models, as with the Tab S7 and Tab S7 Plus, it has now split the series into three. This means users have the Galaxy Tab S8, Tab S8 Plus, and Tab S8 Ultra to choose from, with the Ultra going all-out to yank the tablet crown away from the latest iPad Pro. This division leaves both the Tab S8 and Tab S8 Plus in an interesting position, insofar as the Plus is no longer that much more of a premium experience compared to its standard model.

Still, there are differences between the two tablets, with the larger display and bigger battery being the most obvious features of the Galaxy Tab S8 Plus. However, does this make the Tab S8 Plus a better tablet overall than the Tab S8? Is it worth the extra $200? We find out in this head-to-head versus article, which compares the specs, displays, performance, cameras, and software of each device.
