About the Product
The revolutionary design of the Galaxy S8 begins from the inside out. We rethought every part of the phone's layout to break through the confines of the smartphone screen. So all you see is pure content and no bezel. It's the biggest, most immersive screen on a Galaxy smartphone of this size. And it's easy to hold in one hand.
iPhone 7 features a 12-megapixel camera with 4K video recording with OIS, a 4.7-inch HD Retina display with wide color gamut and 3D Touch, an A10 Fusion processor for high performance, and a large battery.

What customers say about "Power"
Samsung Galaxy S8 Unlocked Mobile Phone
  • The other things are perfect but my only issue is regarding to the battery performance and it's not as I saw from the reviews and some YouTubes.
Apple iPhone 7 Unlocked Phone
  • The device keeps running smoothly, long lasting battery and still works and looks as new, no complains.
  • The new battery is much better. I can listen to the music almost all day long, browse the internet for a few hours, make couple of calls and use other apps without charging my iPhone7 in the middle of the day.
  • The battery runs down very fast.
