Samsung Galaxy Book inch. Feb 26, , PM. Samsung Galaxy Book Sep 02, , PM. Latest Reviews View all. May 15, , AM, by Nick Todorov. Honor may be best known for its attractive-yet-affordable Android phones, but one of the brand's latest products is actually a laptop.

Dec 07, , AM, by John Velasco. We had some reservations about the Lenovo Yoga Book last year when we reviewed it, as the ambitious hybrid tablet introduced some rather intriguing concepts — most notably, ditching the classic physical keyboard for a razor-thin, touch-sensitive one.

That means users will get a version of Internet Explorer 10 that's close to the desktop version, Windows security features like encryption and SmartScreen, and the media platform in Windows.

It also means the new mobile OS is likely to play a lot nicer with other parts of the Windows eco-system. Aside from changing the opening gambit, Microsoft is also, as we expected, expanding the hardware specifications, allowing manufacturers such as Nokia lots more wriggle room in creating hardware that can potentially challenge the latest iPhone and devices like the Samsung Galaxy S III. One of the biggest changes is support for multi-core processors.

Developers will still need to use the same multitasking model as Windows Phone 7, but new background processes and faster processors will make it easier to switch between applications and for location-based software to keep up to date with where you are.

While it's entirely possible we could be seeing quad-core Windows Phone devices, Microsoft has said they are primarily looking at dual-core handsets this Autumn. You'll also be able to use a wider selection of peripherals and devices with your phone, as Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 share the same driver model.

That includes support for micro SD cards, first class citizens for data-transfer and file-copying, and even as a way of side-loading applications onto a phone. There's also support for new graphics features, using more powerful GPUs. Microsoft is upping the display resolution with Windows Phone 8, adding and displays at x and x alongside the existing x display.

That'll mean more screen real estate for video and games. The biggest visual change to the experience is the new Windows Phone 8 Start Screen. It's still the Modern UI array of live tiles, but now there's support for two new tile sizes - and for more customisation, with new theme colours and a larger start screen layout. That side rail and arrow has gone making the live tiles fill up the entirety of the Start Screen. The new small tiles take up a quarter of the space of a Windows Phone 7 tile, but can still display information.

Stacking four small tiles in the space of one makes a lot of sense, because it puts more information on screen while still giving you the overview you want at a glance. There's just more of it on the screen at once. The second new tile is a large tile that takes up the full width of the screen. Small tiles are best designed as part of an application, but will also be generated automatically for any app by Windows Phone 8.

A rather nice and unique feature here from Microsoft. There's a tile on the Start Screen called Kid's Corner. Tap this and it will take you to virtual Start Screen that you child can build themselves and customise with apps and games and whatever else they'd like to do with your phone. At the same time, you choose what's available to them and protect those options with a PIN. So, if you'd rather they didn't access your email - probably a good idea - then you just remove it from their options in set up.

Instead of a standard six seven if you have a Nokia , you now get a colour selector screen palette that runs the length of your display with 20 themes to choose from. The new hardware spec sheet also includes NFC support which will let you use your phone as a digital wallet with tap to pay.

The NFC technology inside Windows Phone 8 has been designed so you can use all sorts of different payment methods and cards. Using something called the Wallet Hub, which every Windows Phone 8 device will have, it is possible to use credit cards, debit cards, loyalty cards and even NFC tap to pay.

The Wallet Hub store deals for you - much like Apple's iOS Passbook - and will also even recommend other apps to you that can tie into your Wallet. The hub itself has a Fast Cards section where you can get quick access to the cards and deals you use most often.

There's a new Together tile within the People Hub to give users direct access to any contacts Groups and Rooms they have or are a part of. Groups also now sync with your Microsoft Account, so you'll be able to see these same Groups under the People section in Hotmail or Outlook. The other useful addition to the People Hub is that you can share your contacts more easily.

You can share with others by email or message and, if your phone is NFC-supporting, you can also add a contact or share one with Tap and Send. It will handle incoming calls and messages, making VOIP tools behave just like traditional phone lines. All of these VOIP apps will have full access to your contacts list, as you allow, too. If you are a Skype user, the integration with Windows Phone is set to be better than any current mobile Skype experience.

You won't have to sign in and out and IM updates should be far faster. Windows Phone 8 uses Nokia's mapping technology in every handset. This pretty much instantly kills the software advantage Nokia had over competitors but does ensure a good mapping experience on every WP8 handset.

A big boost for Windows Phone's mapping, which wasn't particularly strong in earlier versions. Nokia Drive will even have live tiles, which show directions on the home screen meaning you don't even need to open up the app. There's also traffic updates, aerial views and map data for over countries. It's easy to sniff at the Office Hub - go on, sniff - but it's something that MS does particularly well surprise, surprise, and Windows Phone 8 keeps it at the cutting edge.

It's been redesigned with some new views that include useful ideas like viewing documents according to when they were last modified. The Office apps themselves have got a bit slicker too. Word brings a full screen reading mode and syncs with your PC such that documents open up at the last place you left them, even when viewed previously on another device.

PowerPoint has thumbnail view for your slides as well as the ability to view them in both portrait and landscape orientations. Finally, Excel has also become considerably more mobile-friendly. Support has been added for charts and it should no longer be so frustrating when trying to select cells and read what's inside them.
