What surprised the exhibition of mobile technologies in Barcelona. MWC (Mobile World Congress) - Novelty Reviews from Mobile Industry Exhibition Exhibition of Mobile Phones

Mobile Word Congress is the world's largest exhibition of the mobile industry. It takes part in it mobile operatorsManufacturers mobile devices and manufacturers of various content for mobile platforms. The exhibition takes place annually and acts as a kind of polygon for a presentation of certain developers of various manufacturers. Many people seek to show at the exhibition layouts of devices, which are still not even ready to warm the interest of the public to the coming release of the device itself.

2019 will be the year of launch cellular networks Fifth generation. 5G will be one of the main technological topics of the coming year and industry leaders high technologies already preparing for the era of new speeds mobile Internet. According to a new post, two South Korean technology companies - Samsung and LG will please the public 5G smartphones at the MWC 2019, which will begin at the end of February next year. A very noticeable difference is expected between innovative products of two known vendors of mobile devices.

Recently, the company Valve is about to submit its headset virtual reality, rumors about which twitted in the air for several months. Well, this day has come, that's just the Valve headset in the framework of the MWC 2015 exhibition presented at all the company Geiba Newel, but the Taiwanese manufacturer of electronics HTC. The headset was named VIVE and was developed by Taiwanese engineers together with specialists from Valve. It seems that got a serious competitor.

Samsung's presentation was not the most incered, which, however, was expected, since, unlike previous years, the company did not show his flagship of the Galaxy line in Barcelona. This model will be shown in the morning of March 29 in New York, but up to this point we will still discuss Galaxy S8 in a separate material. In Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthere are samples of this device, partners could familiarize themselves with them in a hotel near the exhibition, as well as to see a number of new accessories. While the impression is that it will be one of the key models of 2017, and having the ability to compare S8 with LG G6, created by the first, I can say that LG has a pitiful similarity. But while I'm silent about what awaits us.

The Samsung presentation began later, detained the beginning of twenty minutes, as they tried to find people from Greenpeace, who wanted to make a statement during the performance of the company's tops. It turned out to be crushed and not very incended, many did not even pay attention to it. During the presentation, it was repeatedly said that the company pays special attention to the safety of people, as well as the quality of products, it is the echoes of the Note 7 history. But the program of the program was announced by new company tablets - Windows tablet Galaxy Book, as well as Galaxy Tab. S3. Let's talk about these devices to then go to the trifles.

Sound from AKG and new S Pen for company tablets

The tablet market is not going away best times, Tab S2 updates were waiting for a long time, but it appeared only now. Why? The answer lies in the fact that S2 was enough for the eyes, and the update would be cosmetic, which, in fact, happened. Samsung explicitly created a competitor for iPad Pr., Junior model at 9.7 inches. So, similarities emphasize the system of four speakers, the same screen geometry. After the purchase of Harman in Samsung will use the AKG brand almost for all the equipment, including smartphones. In Tab S3, for the first time, the dynamics of this company, the device sounds well, the volume level is difficult to assess the presentation, but the feeling that is comparable to the same iPad Pro.

From the advantages I will note that additional phids for sound appeared in the tablet settings, you can now adjust the load on cPU, that is, to remove even the minimum delays that the theory gives the best sound, but leads to more energy consumption. It is clear that something similar can be implemented on any device, but there were built-in Android restrictions, which always existed and distinguished the tablets on this system from iOS devices. Now there is a full parity, plus the software has been added for musicians and those who sve over music.

For a mass consumer, working with sound is not critical at all, people simply won't notice the difference. Listening to the headphones of different compositions with various settings did not reveal some indigenous differences, subjectively at the level of perception sounds something, but it seems to me that it is just a conviction of yourself that the difference must be felt, here's the brain and gives "distinctions".

Following important moment - This is an updated S Pen. It has become more noticeable more and more convenient, but this is not a product of the Note series, respectively, there is no place in the case to set the stylus and transfer along with the tablet. This is a huge minus, since it will have to wear a Pen separately or buy a cover with a place for him. I don't like this approach, as you remember, for this I swung on what the light is worth MS Surface, as well as iPad Pro - and now the repetition of history. There is nothing good in this.

But also a digital "pencil" Staedtler appeared, I am sure that you remember these on ordinary life. High drawing accuracy, it will suit those who are engaged in graphics. Compatibility only with the new Tab S3, as well as with the Galaxy Book, and the pencil works in any application, which supports such an input. The set of applications is very similar to what we see on the iPad. As for me, so this pencil is a very good thing, as it allows not to reassure those who are used to draw.

The price of a pencil is unknown, such a presentation was presented with all those present, at the same time adding two ordinary, classic pencils. It reminded me of the presentation of the luxury cars, on which they gave key chains from them - you took the first step towards your future car, and here.

Working with S Pen is typical for the company, there are Air Commands, notes, an application for drawing and creating graphs. All this is familiar according to the Note line, something new and special did not appear.

The fact that the new TAB S3 is performed in the concept of smartphones, that is, from metal and glass, makes it more expensive to perceive. I really hope that Gorilla Glass 4 will be reliably on such an area, since its iPad Pro broke in a couple of months, and with a fall on the carpet - it's a shame.

SAMSUNG somehow reluctantly spoke about the cost of the tablet, but it was possible to find out what it was on sale in March, the price for Europe for the Wi-Fi version - 679 euros, for the LTE version - 769 euros. Very expensive product. Pleasant, but extremely expensive. So for many Tab S2 remains a priority choice in the coming months, the potential of this tablet from the point of view of sales remains high.

The concept of the tablet "Two in one" on Windows is picked up by Samsung much later than other companies, but the corporation wants to bite off and from this cake, she needs such products for the B2B segment, and they will also be on a wide sale. Two sizes are available for Galaxy Book, there are unfucking keyboards, and devices are built on conventional processors from Intel. As for me, it is still a compromise, for comparable money it is better to buy thin laptops On Windows, the sense will surely be more. On the other hand, they will have certain sales. Nice collected, keyboard-compromise - in a word, for very specific scenarios. Below you can see the characteristics of these tablets.

In my opinion, TAB S3 deserves attention if you are looking for an expensive tablet with excellent screen and maximum characteristics. On the android market There is no analogues, and the choice may be between this tablet and iPad Pro. It is said that in May Apple will show a new generation iPad. Pro, it is worth waiting and see what will be in it. Still, the tablets today are bought for several years, waiting for a couple of months justified.

Gear VR and Oculus Controller

Samsung presented an Oculus controller for a Gear VR, a small joystick to manage games and applications.

The price of the accessory is still unknown, in any case, it did not succeed in achieving a clear answer. Considering that Gear VR does not track the movement of the camera (so far there is no, the following versions will be with the camera tracking), the use of the joystick is not so expanding the possibilities. I managed to look at the VR-helmet with one eye, it was not shown for everyone and in private mode. The concept is very similar to HTC VIVE 2, and, apparently, they took it as a basis as the most successful product of this class, although the design is different. When this helmet appears, it is unknown.

In a dry residue, I can say that, despite the huge SAMSUNG stand, this exhibition for the company is boring, no furious announcements, but it was expected. We are waiting for the end of the month and the announcement of S8 / S8 + in New York, here it will be very interesting.

The device does not have any extraordinary design, but also to call it difficult to call it difficult, because it, firstly, easily opens by 360 degrees, and secondly, is also easily divided into two parts.

Porsche Design Book One is equipped with a 13.3-inch display with a resolution of 3200x1800 pixels and worthy "hardware": the Intel Core I7-7500U processor, 16 GB random access memory and 512 GB on solid-state accumulator. The price is not yet confirmed, but they say that the branded ultrabook will cost a little more than $ 3000.

SAMSUNG GALAXY BOOK.

Samsung also tries not to forget about the release of Windows tablets, which with the appearance of Windows 10 and increasingly economical Intel processors are becoming more and more user-friendly.

Barcelona Koreans showed Samsung Galaxy Book - tablet in versions with 10.6 and 12-inch screen. The younger resolution is 1920x1080, the older - 2160x1440 points. There are all the most modern: 4,5-watt intel processors Core 7th generation, up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB on a solid-state drive, as well as a Wi-Fi module (IEEE 802.11ac), LTE modem and GPS / GLONASS receiver. Both models have a fingerprint scanner and ports USB Type-C.

Included with Galaxy Book, a keyboard cover is supplied, which is reliably fastened on magnets, and a wireless pen s Pen.

We will be transferred to the exhibition Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017, which takes place annually in Barcelona. In fact, the MWC is CES for smartphones, and this year there are many new gadgets such well-known global electronics manufacturers like LG Electronics, Samsung, Huawei, Sony and others. A few days before the official opening of the exhibition, they conducted presentations, and judging by the results, in 2017 we have an influx of Android smartphones with large displays and a thin framing.

BlackBerry.

Two days before the official start of the exhibition, TCL Communication Technology introduced the BlackBerry smartphone with a QWERTY-keyboard. For a long time The company's development wore a Mercury code name, however cES exhibition 2017 Manufacturers showed a prototype and declassified the name of the new model - BlackBerry Keyone.

Keyone - last smartphoneWhich company will be released under the BlackBerry brand. The novelty is a traditional monoblock with a hardware QWERTY-keyboard.

The device runs running the Android 7.1 Nougat operating system, equipped with a 4.5 inch IPS display (1620x1080 pixels) and two cameras - the main one with a resolution of 12PM and front with 8MP.

The company expects that BlackBerry fans will appreciate the updated keyboard that responds not only to the duration of the press, but also allows you to do without it without it - special sensors are built into the device, thanks to which you can simply slide with your fingers on the keyboard. As in many flagship smartphones of other manufacturers, a fingerprint scanner is integrated into the BlackBerry Keyone, designed to protect the device from outside interfering. But, unlike all the same smartphones, the sensor is not located on the ends or front panel of the device, but in the space key.

Eight-core processor installed inside Qualcomm Snapdragon. 625 and 3505 mAh battery. Keyone supports fast charging feature, on which, according to manufacturers, it will take 36 minutes.

A dactyloscopic sensor is located on the rear panel of the smartphone. The metal case is made in three color solutions: silver, white and black.

Huawei.

The Chinese manufacturer brought the Huawei P10 and P10 Plus smartphones to MWC. The smartphone filling is practically no different from previous models, and therefore the company has bet on an unusual design. The color gamut of the new Huawei line was picked up with Pantone. As a result of such cooperation, a device appeared in a new, unusual color for smartphones - light green (Greeny).

According to the manufacturer's statements, the device body is protected by a special coating that prevents the appearance of fingerprints and scratches. The smartphone turned out to be thin - only 6.98 mm. In addition, the company decided to transfer the fingerprint scanner to the front panel, under the screen.

P10 Plus is the first product in the Huawei line, which received QUAD HD support. The batteries of the device received appropriate - with a capacity of 3200mach for small and 3750mach for a larger model. The company promises to two days autonomous work and fast charging Huawei Super Charge.

To the creation huawei cameras Repeated again LEICA. The camera has a familiar dual design: one sensor with 12pse makes ordinary pictures, receiving information about color, the second to 20mp is only monochrome, reading the light data. Such technology improves the quality of photographs made in the dark and provides a wider dynamic range. The front camera received a matrix with a resolution of 8MP.

Devices will go on sale, incl. In Russia, March 2017 at a price of 650 euros.

Lenovo.

For professionals ended yesterday in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe largest forum mobile technology Mobile World Congress-2017 has long been not just an exhibition of achieving advanced technologies in the field of communications, and the most real visual benefit of our high-tech future. Much, let's say, now tied to high-speed data transmission. So, about technology 5G these days in Catalonia said not only in theory. However, and ordinary visitors did not have to miss the MWC-2017. Traditional for such events "Race of Gadgets" identified a number of consumer trends: mobile world Asians continue to edit, in 2017 we have an influx of Android smartphones with large displays and a thin framing, and all new is well forgotten old.

Anticipation 5G.

Belarusians seemingly just recently began to master the 4G technology. But for many countries of the world and this has already passed the stage. Let's say, in the 11 cities of the United States, the limiting data transfer rates already this year should increase almost one hundred times. It spreads its own networks. The Americans will be able to use them yet, however, only in test mode. But on the queue - tests of high-speed data transfer at major sporting events: Winter Olympic Games in South Korea and at the World Cup in Russia. In mass operation 5G, go to which is ready, according to estimates, 75% of the current users, plan to launch two years later. However, devices capable of supporting this technology are presented now. The Chinese concern ZTE decided to surprise users. Its representatives stated loudly that they created the world's first smartphone for such networks, capable of cope with speeds into one gigabit per second. To be tried yet, however, it is necessary for the word: the thing was cumbersome and was hidden under thick glass.

Battle of smartphones

The exhibition in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bas usual, ignored many flagships. Traditionally, Apple does not participate in such events. Not arrived in Spain asus and Xiaomi, which preferred local local presentation platform, their own. Not waited and, perhaps, the most expected novelty of the year - Samsung Galaxy S8 (so that its presentation is not lost in the other of others, will present an updated smartphone on March 29 in New York). However, on the bench of Samsung, there were enough other interesting devices. Corporation HeadLineers - New tablets Galaxy Tab S3 and Galaxy Book, capable of playing video in HDR format. By the way, Galaxy Tab S3 first of his fellow got 4 speakers at once. NEWS FROM LENOVO In the meantime, it is necessary to characterize the words "modesty and savings", from BlackBerry - "Travel to the Past". The KeyOne smartphone submitted by it, in addition to a huge screen, has a physical keyboard - old good buttons.

Full immersion for fans

Good news for sports broadcasts. Especially Spanish football or superbound. Never hurt for your favorite team was not so exciting. Intel has demonstrated the capabilities of 360 Replay technology - Panoramic video streaming with a 8K resolution, high real-time bandwidth and low levels. Just imagine the whole system (at least 30) HD cameras placed at the stadium, records all moments of the game to then visualize them in 3D format. Immersion effect and overview from any angle are provided.

Nostalgic hello

Another such "travel in the past" - Presentation nokia phone 3310, which hopped the pockets in the early 2000s. It still is customary to speak with the silence. This model, despite its dimensions, is considered one of the most successful in history: such devices were sold as much as 126 million. He said about him: "unhappy." And it was best characteristic. However, alas, to go on a carriage of the past at the Finnish company did not work. Experts agreed: Despite the similar design and the presence of the legendary game "Snake", this is still a rude fake. The light plastic case is in no way associated with the strength of the device, the color screen for such forms looks ridiculous. In general, on whom the device is oriented, when the phone is not just a "dialer", and the camera, a voice recorder, a TV, a pocket computer with the Internet and other, other in one bottle, did not understand no one. The price of nostalgia is about 50 euros. In Belarus, understandable, it will be more expensive. The updated 3310 will be released in the second quarter.

What about us?

Becloud presents two key project of cloud technologies yesterday - the Republican data processing center and the republican cloud platform.
