At the Mobile World Congress show Huawei MateBook and Samsung Galaxy S7 – Russian Newspaper

For several years Visitors largest tehnovystavki Mobile World Congress in Barcelona arrive in the capital of Catalonia not to the opening (this year it started on February 22), and a few days earlier. The thing is that there are so-called “zero” or even “minus first” day of the exhibition, and is not the first time these days are getting more interesting.

The fact is that the largest producers of gadgets such as Samsung and the Sony, spend their announcements of new products for a couple of days before the opening of the exhibition, gathering in their halls of a huge crowd of journalists with new gadgets and guest stars. For example, this year, at the presentation of Samsung Galaxy S7 flagship phones present Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg

However, not only Samsung managed to surprise fans of mobile gadgets -. A creative approach to the process of creating their new products Sony and LG companies. The latter, for example, released a truly unique phone-designer – he led the flagship line and was called G5

The first to present its smartphone (or rather two) in Barcelona, ​​managed by Samsung. Its new flagship Galaxy line model was called S7 and S7 edge. The first gadget is equipped with a 5.1-inch screen with a resolution of 2560×1440, the second – a 5.5-inch, resolution similar (plus the curved edges on the sides of the display to display notifications and small kartinochek). To see the point of light-pixel on the screen is simply impossible – so tight they are located, and such permission becomes a new quality standard for smartphones

Another standard that attempts to set the Samsung -. Four gigabytes of memory in the handheld device. Such a considerable amount yet rarely where it occurs, but you can be sure – soon “catch up” the Chinese, who have long been producing powerful devices for ultra-low price (for example, Xiaomi Mi5), and behind them will make haste more venerable, but not as agile manufacturers. The volume of non-volatile memory standard – 32 gigabytes, plus supports microSD cards, so lack of space will not

Contrary to rumors in the Galaxy S7 does not appear Velocity recognition technology on the screen, as in the iPhone 6s, however, appears to. everything users are fully capable to manage without it. Surprisingly, the decline in innovation-resolution cameras – in S6 models it was 16 megapixels and the new the S7 – only 12. However, the developers used a larger matrix, thereby able to achieve high image quality and fast lens (for photographers – with the diaphragm 1, 7) allows to take clear pictures even in low light conditions.

Both the flagship Samsung are working on the latest version of Android 6.0 and support the Always on Display technology. With its help, you can display an image (eg, hours) and notifications on the screen when the device is turned off

In spite of currency fluctuations, the value of new products is still quite low -. For the Galaxy S7 company asks for 49,990 rubles for the S7 edge – 59 990 rubles. The same cost at the start of sales of the previous flagship S6 and S6 edge

Following the Samsung “shot out” of a competitor -. LG. The new flagship of the company, known as G5 Reputation:, very different from the previous G4 and in general from other smartphones. Here’s why.

One of the main features of the new products has become a camera with not one, but two matrices with 8 and 16 megapixels. Through this approach, the picture quality will be higher, the company promises. But the biggest surprise is the smartphone’s design – it is modular, that is, some parts of it can be recovered “on the move”, replacing them with others

The concept is called “LG G5 and friends.”. As “friends” are the additional modules that extend the capabilities of the device. For example, a flick of the wrist, you can detach the lower part of the smartphone, located below the screen, along with the battery, and instead insert the same, but with a smart music player Hi-Fi Plus, which was created in conjunction with the “zvukaryami” from Bang & amp; Olufsen. If you do not like the music, but adore to photograph – standard, remove the cover and insert instead LG Cam Plus module that turns your phone into a full-fledged camera. There is a scroll wheel and zoom, and a physical shutter button

According to the characteristics of LG G5 turned out to match a competitor. 5.3-inch screen supports a resolution of 2560h1440 points and Always On Display technology, which displays an image (eg, hours) the time, “lighting” only a small number of pixels. Display constantly glowing hours consumes only one percent of the battery per hour, experts say.

In general, filling G5 no worse and no better than the Galaxy S6, but the dual camera and plug-ins make it more interesting. How practical this approach – time will tell

Its smartphone market vision revealed, and the Japanese manufacturer Sony, which has brought to Barcelona three new devices, which were included in the already famous series Xperia

The first.. model, Xperia XA, is the most simple and cheap, but looks no different from the more expensive Xperia X and X Performance. The smartphone is encased in a plastic housing and is equipped with a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1280×720 pixels. It’s a little, when compared with the flagship model, but battery life increases substantially

Xperia X and X Performance is also equipped with a 5-inch display, but with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels -. This is more than enough for comfortable work, because the point is almost impossible to see on such a display. They are more powerful than the model of the XA, but in practice the difference in speed is noticeable only in the “heavy” games and other applications that require serious performance.

All three smartphones are an innovative focusing system, which is able to predict the movement of objects in the frame, and induced them on their own, the user remains only to press the button. Excellent feature for shooting sportsmen and predictable pets and children. Resolution of the camera in the Sony Xperia XA is 13 megapixels in the Xperia X and X Performance – 23 megapixels. The quality of the photos, as always with the Sony, at the highest level – the mobile camera of this company are used by many other manufacturers, which is beyond the power to compete with the Japanese

As a conclusion should also talk about smartphones Alcatel Idol 4 and Idol 4S. . The first relates to the budget segment and is unlikely to be very expensive because of the low power, while the second has a more powerful stuffing and belongs to the middle class. Both in Russia will cost 20-25 thousand rubles – it is a segment in our country the most popular

But why start talking about smartphones, middling, if each communication saloon them and so are countless, from which. You can not select something suitable? A distinctive feature is the button called Boom, located on the side of the smartphone. Its mission is to “make a cool”.

For example, during the “heavy” Boom, pressing the play button starts the CPU at full capacity. And pressing it off quickly opens the application “Camera” and takes a picture. If you hold down the button and do not let go during the open desktop, the screen displays animated weather information.

As still working Boom? During a call, it dramatically increases the volume of the speaker – is useful if you are talking in the subway station and suddenly the train arrived (or close to the plane suddenly started its jet engines). When listening to music button “better” sound – making it more voluminous and basovitym

By the way, as the previous model, Alcatel Idol 4 and 4S are able to work “upside down.” – Speakers and microphones have both above and below, the screen flips yourself

The pocket does not fit

We presented in September “giant” of the tablet iPad Pro had a strong Chinese competitors -. to present the Mobile World Congress has been presented . Huawei MateBook

The tablet is a device of the type “two in one” – if you want you can use it as a tablet computer, and the notebook configuration. The keyboard, of course, embedded in a thin elegant case made of leather.

12-inch screen Huawei MateBook supports resolutions 2160h1440 pixels, has a memory capacity of 4 or 8 gigabytes (comparable with a powerful laptop) and storage capacity permanent storage for the data can be 128, 256 and 512 gigabytes. With such an impressive performance he turned a thin (6.9 mm) and light (640 grams). iPad Pro in thickness left in the same, but it has more weight – 723 grams, if we talk about a version with support for LTE

Not without an auxiliary tool -. a digital pen, which was called MatePen. It recognizes the 2048 degrees of depression and, by all accounts, is working with zero latency, that is the feeling of drawing on the screen is the same as if you write an ordinary pencil on paper

In the load to the Huawei MateBook is the touchpad – small panel that performs the role of an ordinary computer mouse, in addition, the tablet is equipped with fingerprint (rarely a modern device dispenses with such a sensor). The device runs on Windows 10, that is, all the usual program will earn on it without any problems.

The starting price of iPad Pro competitor will be 699 euros, that is about 60 thousand rubles.

Another Chinese projector, ZTE SPRO Plus – a very curious thing in itself. Its distinctive feature is the presence of built-in projector, which is activated and controlled using a standard 8-inch touch screen, occupying the entire top surface of the

tablet filling characterizes it as a class device “above average.” – Quad-core processor, three GB RAM and 32/128 GB constant (supports cards of up to two terabytes)

as a working or gaming tablet a gadget to use is problematic, although possible -. it is thick enough (almost two and a half centimeters) and Of course, heavy. Apparently, in the ZTE we set out to make a fully self-contained projector, where you can download all the presentations, photos or videos. Powered SPRO Plus up to six hours with a powerful battery
