Hundreds of new super-technological developments are born every year. Even when it seems that everything possible in this world has long been created, there is always a person who is able to look at an already existing idea from a new angle and come up with something new. Producers are always trying to surprise us with something interesting and unusual, unlike anything we've seen before. Let's see if they can do it in 2017!

1. Domestic smartphones

At the end of this - the beginning of next year, a novelty from Russian manufacturers, while causing rather healthy skepticism than lively interest of users. Russia is going to release a smartphone on its own operating system, called Sailfish Mobile OS RUS. The development is carried out by the OMP ("Open Mobile Platform") company, owned by the founder of ECH, Grigory Berezkin.

The first devices released on this OS will be the Oysters and Jolla smartphones. Sailfish is an operating system with open source elements source code... It has been developed by the Finnish company Jolla, part of which belongs to the Russian ESN, for almost four years. Hopefully, this development will justify itself - an attempt once made to create a domestic smartphone (YotaPhone in 2015) did not pay off.

2. Smartphone with a transparent screen

Chinese company Vivo develops transparent displays

According to the resource resource Mobipicker, referring to the leak of information within the company, the Chinese brand Vivo promises to release one of the most entertaining new products next year, definitely claiming success - a smartphone with a completely transparent screen. In addition to its main unusual feature, the smartphone will be equipped with a very solid "stuffing": a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage.

3. Flexible smartphone

Conceptual model of a foldable smartphone from Samsung

The world-renowned giant Samsung Electronics does not lag behind competitors in creating unusual gadgets. In addition to the more-than-expected next Galaxy, this year the company has completed the development of a prototype and is preparing to launch its long-standing project into mass production - the world's first flexible smartphone. It will be equipped with an OLED display and will be able to fold in half. When open, the diagonal of the display is 7 inches, when closed - 5.

The display for the flexible smartphone was created by Samsung Display, the largest manufacturer of LCD screens. Samsung is confident that such products will help overcome the "crisis" in the market - its oversaturation and slowdown in growth. Other flexible-screen gadgets are likely to follow.

4. "Smart" contact lenses

Samsung and Google vie for the right to release the first "smart" lenses

Attempts to create a device for the eyes that can replace everything at once have already been made - in 2014, Google presented the public with a project of "smart" contact lenses, in 2015 - it took up solar-powered lenses. Now the same Samsung has joined the game: not so long ago, they posted on their blog an application for a patent for contact lenses with built-in sensors and a display.

Most likely, the real peak of popularity of such devices will not be next year, and not even 2018, but, nevertheless, their potential is huge: "smart" lenses will be able to replace glasses, a fitness tracker, watch, camera, scanner and many more, bulky and heavy devices.

5. Smart glasses from Carl Zeiss

Smart glasses from Google have not gained popularity, despite all the efforts of the developers and promoters of the company. The abandoned banner was taken up by the Carl Zeiss company: according to them, they found a way to make smart glasses light and comfortable. The battery, processor and other necessary technical details of the glasses will be invisible to prying eyes and will be located in the temple.

Where the bow meets the lens, a miniature OLED display connects these parts. The image will be projected through a polycarbonate mirror that acts as a reflector. So far, the company has a prototype that will go through many more improvements, but it is believed that at CES 2017 the company will be able to demonstrate its smart glasses in action.

6. Xbox One: Project Scorpio

The new generation of X-boxing will delight gamers all over the world in 2017

Next year promises us a major update for the entire Xbox lineup. At the E3 2016 conference in Los Angeles, Microsoft unveiled Project Scorpio, a new, improved version of the game console with an eight-core processor and support for games in 4K resolution. The novelty will have an absolutely record computing power in the size of 6 Teraflops and will be able to support virtual reality.

For the company, this is not just an X-box update - it is a big step forward and something fundamentally new. All models Xbox one will be compatible and will receive a common game library. While there is no exact data on when to expect the release of this miracle on the market, gamers are already suggesting a release date for the fall of 2017. Project Scorpio is a working title, so it will probably come out under a completely different name.

7. Nintendo NX

Nintendo NX is expected to revolutionize

At the beginning of 2017, Nintendo also moved their new development. According to rumors, they are now seriously busy preparing for the launch of the next generation console, Nintendo NX. According to company representatives, this console will revolutionize the entire gaming industry. The assembly of the console will be done by Foxconn. There is no special information about the new Nintendo yet, however, as they say, its release is deliberately delayed: the dates were shifted due to the company's desire to finalize the console's functionality.

We are promised virtual reality, as well as a touchscreen display and the ability to play both on a TV and without it. Kimishima, president of the company, promised that “absolutely new way play games". In addition to delays, Nintendo also significantly reduced the total number of products manufactured from the original 20 million to just 9-10: the market is no longer so affectionate to game consoles, the demand for them has dropped noticeably in recent years.

8. iPhone 8

It is not yet known how the novelty will be marked - iPhone 8 or iPhone 7S

The new iPhone 7, released in 2016, clearly disappointed everyone who waits for it - nothing really new and interesting is expected in it. However, in 2017 everything will change for the better! This time, the iPhone is really waiting significant changes... Insider sources claim that 2017 year iPhone 8 (or iPhone 7S - the developers have not figured out the labeling of the new product yet) will receive a display curved on both sides.

Earlier it was reported that in 2017 they may well switch to the use of OLED displays in the iPhone, completely devoid of side frames. The use of a curved screen - similar to what you see in Samsung's Galaxy Edge lineup - is in line with these rumors. But so far, no confirmation or denial of this information from the official representatives of the brand has followed. Also, according to the latest leaks, Apple may switch to a three-year iPhone update cycle.

In addition, Apple is actively engaged in updating its operating systems... Outdated file system HFS Plus in 2017 will replace APFS (Apple File System), which is used on all devices of the brand, from Apple Watch before Mac Pro... The reason for this decision is quite obvious - created 30 years ago, HFS Plus is noticeably outdated and does not fully cope with the disproportionately increased volume of information. APFS is designed for Flash / SSD drives and will take a new approach to storing information.

The main storage object is the container. The containers are separate from each other and use their own volumes and namespace. Such a system will minimize the number of failures and optimize data handling. In addition, APFS will receive built-in support for modern encryption protocols. However, it also has a noticeable disadvantage: only completely new software solutions can use it.

9. Apple Wireless Charging

Apple is set to release a redesigned wireless battery in 2017. The range of the device will be 2-3 meters, and for recharging it will be enough to place the devices in a special charging area. However, this innovation also has certain disadvantages: gadgets will have to be charged more often and longer, as they will lose energy faster than usual.

Will appear charging device for absolutely all products of the brand: from iPhones to MacBooks. This is not the first time Apple has tried to get rid of outdated chargers, and similar technology is used in Apple Watch which can be charged a few millimeters from a power source, however a new version should become an order of magnitude more perfect.

10. Apple Watch

Apple Watch was able to eclipse tablets and classic Swiss watches at once on the market: devices in the form wrist watch, which took over a decent part of the functions of an ordinary tablet or phone, turned out to be an extremely convenient find for active people and instantly earned considerable popularity. Now Apple Watch is one of the main products of the brand - by the end of next year it is planned to sell at least 100 million copies.

The price, however, still bites, but Apple is busy, among other things, reducing their cost for the sake of greater availability of the product. The functionality of the "clock" is also expanding: new applications are being created, and the built-in wi-fi will allow you to freely use them to access the network. Probably, Apple Watch will be able to press the market and fitness bracelets, taking over their functions.

About future

The world of technology does not stand in one place. Everything is changing, and "smart" gadgets are gradually filling the life of every person. And the surprising thing is that every year there are so many of them that sometimes it is impossible to keep track of all the new items.

This article will present the most interesting gadgets of 2015, as well as some of the announced new items for the next year.

Controlled electrical appliances

Use the usual household appliances it's getting easier. appear everywhere, and you can control your home directly from your smartphone.

Talking about interesting gadgets, first of all, I would like to note the new lamps from General Electrics. This company was created by Thomas Edison. Yes, the very man who invented the first carbon filament lamp.

Following the path outlined by its founder, the company continues to amaze the world with high-quality and high-tech products.

C Sleep by GE

Lamps that turn on and off from a smartphone are no longer news. Although they are rarely found in Russia, there are already technologies and more modern ones. General Electrics is engaged in the latest line of "super smart" bulbs - C Sleep and C Life.

Devices of the first model change their glow color during the day, duplicating the light of the sun: in the morning - pale blue, during the day - yellowish, in the evening - close to orange. Due to this, natural street lighting from the sun almost completely matches the light from the C Sleep lamp. So every day nervous system and the eyes are not subject to irritation from constant light changes. According to the company, using such interesting gadgets for home in the bedroom, it will be easier to wake up in the morning, the light will increase activity during the day, and it will be easy to fall asleep in the evening.

C Life by GE

The second C Life model shines with only one yellowish tint, like a regular light bulb. It is recommended to install it in all other rooms.

By using wireless technologies by purchasing such interesting gadgets and installing the appropriate application on your smartphone, you can control three lamps at once without using any additional funds communication.

In addition to turning the light on or off, you can set its intensity (brightness). This setting is quite convenient, especially with increased irritation of the eyes, which have been looking at the computer monitor for the whole day and have had time to get inflamed.

It is noteworthy that these interesting gadgets for Windows 7 are not suitable and work only on the "Android" platform.

Ankuoo unveiled a line of smart switches

We continue to review Turning the light on and off from the phone is a good thing. But there are devices that help increase safety.

How many times in your life have you caught yourself thinking that you forgot to turn off the iron, stove, kettle or other household appliances from the network? Every year there are many fires in apartments and houses for precisely this reason, when residents forget to turn off the electrical appliance at night or when leaving the premises.

It is quite expensive to buy every household appliance that will be equipped with smart technologies, what to do in this case? Ankuoo has solved this problem. She presented the gadget in the form of a special patch socket equipped with Wi-Fi technology.

You just need to connect it to a regular one - and the outgoing current will be under your control. By setting special application on the phone, using the Internet, you can turn off or turn on the electricity supply to household appliances.

This is truly an irreplaceable thing of the new century. You no longer need to worry or rely on your memory, just turn on the program and turn off the power in the outlet with a couple of clicks on the screen of your smartphone.

Do you like cleanliness?

The most interesting gadgets should be not only advanced in the technological spectrum, but also devoid of the shortcomings of devices of the past.

How many bacteria and germs do you think are on your smartphone? There are billions of them. Since the release of the first cell phone and until today it was difficult to find one that would be absolutely safe from the point of view of personal hygiene.

Fingers and palms are carriers of various microbes due to the fact that we constantly touch something with them: money, door handles, other people. During the day, we touch our phone more than once. And the best thing we do with it is wipe the screen with a cloth so that no greasy marks on the screen are visible.

Take some soap and wash your phone anytime you like!

The Japanese company Kyocera decided to eliminate this shortcoming and developed the Digno Rafre smartphone, which can be washed right under the tap with water. This is really amazing, the phone can withstand water temperatures up to 43 degrees, and is also completely waterproof, and its material does not deteriorate from ordinary soap. This protection is due to the IP58 technology.

With a bit of humor, this gadget comes with a special duck with which the phone can float in the bathroom. Other specifications phones are not very different from mid-range smartphones, and therefore there is no need to cover them in this article.

It is hoped that such technologies will be used in all high-tech equipment, and there will no longer be any need to be afraid to flood something with water or ruin it with household detergents.

Miracle flashlight

Interesting modern gadgets are not limited to household appliances and smartphones. New technologies have even made their way to conventional flashlights. It would seem that insert the battery and use it - is it even easier? Even a lantern powered by solar battery, already far from modern world technologies.

A new breakthrough in the field of powering devices was made by an inventor from New York. He managed to create a flashlight that works from the warmth of the hands. It is amazing! Such a gadget is environmentally friendly, and, one might say, it will always work without requiring an additional source of energy. Simply place your thumb on the special panel that instantly converts the heat from your hand into electrical energy.

Everyone should have such a device just to be on the safe side. This is a really handy thing, especially when the mobile phone is dead and there is nothing to highlight. It will also be very useful in multi-day hikes and travels far from civilization. An endless light source can help out on any dark night.

Device for bachelors

Are there any interesting? Of course! There is a special Sansaire Sous Vide Circulator that is designed to help bachelors prepare delicious food for themselves. Stop eating bad food! Sandwiches, chips and crackers are all terribly harmful, it's time to take care of yourself.

All you need for any simple dish is a vacuum bag, ingredients and the above device. Put, for example, meat in a bag and put it in a container of water. Dip the gadget into this water, install the program and wait a little. Within 30-40 minutes you can have a delicious meal.

The plus is that any dish will not become dry or overcooked. This is the essence of sous vide technology. In addition, dietary fiber and nutrients are not destroyed during such cooking, so the food will be even healthier. Eat to your health!

Smart technology is the future

Of course, there are much more worthy new products in the high-tech world than are listed in this article. There are also keyboards that are projected by a laser onto any surface, glasses virtual reality and the rest.

Time does not stand still, but moves forward. Perhaps technology has never developed so quickly. The technologies we have today will be outdated tomorrow. Having bought a modern gadget, you will be faced with the fact that in a year you will be the owner of an outdated thing.

Should you make this purchase now? Of course it's worth it. After all, technology makes it easier and safer for our lives. No need to wait for a newer phone model, and then the next one, and so on. and new interesting gadgets will definitely help you make life more interesting and exciting.

However, never forget that such devices are only meant to make life easier. There is no need to make a cult out of gadgets, as is the case, for example, with Apple products, when any new product is immediately swept from the windows.

Imagine a world where you don't have to physically do anything: you sit on the bed, and from your phone you program cooking, robots that clean your apartment, control the light and water. In this situation, a person has a lot of free time, which with pleasure and benefit can be devoted to learning, family and loved ones.

Analysts record an incredible increase in buyers' interest in modern multifunctional gadgets. So, this year, customers of large stores are 6 times more likely to prefer smartphones than personal PCs, laptops or tablets. We invite you to find out what new the market is preparing to offer the consumer and what innovative technologies the future can be found in the novelties of 2018.

In this article we will tell you:

Every year smartphones surprise with more and more new functions. Today has become commonplace large screens and quality cameras, high-speed access to Internet technologies and the ability to work with documents. But, manufacturers do not stop there and, perhaps already in 2018, new gadgets that will appear on the market will have not only a radically new design, but also such functions as:

1. visualization of 3D holograms;
2. contactless screens that read commands without direct contact;
3. opportunity to maximize long work v offline and fast charging of high-capacity batteries;
4. high level of protection against dust, moisture and other negative external influences;
5. unprecedented means of protecting personal information.

From a design point of view, the most anticipated on the market are new flexible devices. Samsung Galaxy X1 and Lenovo CPlus. Both smartphones will use innovative screen models. But, the new Galaxy X1 most likely received a folding case-book, and Lenovo CPlus - the ability to bend at several points, turning from mobile phone into a stylish bracelet.

Also in 2018, frameless monoblocks promise to become a trend. It is this design that they promise to implement in their new models. Apple, Xiaomi and Meizu.

Samsung announces 2018 release new Galaxy S9 Edge with curved screen, which will occupy the entire plane of the front panel.

New 2018 for gamers

The computer games industry is demonstrating a rapid pace of development, which requires manufacturers to significantly improve the technical parameters and expand the capabilities of game consoles. So, in 2018, new gaming electronics are expected from largest corporations Sony and Microsoft.

Sony playstation 5

The most anticipated device in the gaming world is without a doubt the 5th generation PlayStation. It is expected that the console will receive such innovations as:

1. new powerful processor AMD;
2. performance at the level of 10 Teraflops;
3. even more high quality virtual reality visualization;
4. new models of functional game add-ons, such as virtual reality helmets and a wide variety of game controllers.

Most likely, new gaming stations from Sony will be available for purchase in the second half of 2018.

Xbox one x

Microsoft plans to offer gamers the Xbox One X console. But, unfortunately, the device will not support virtual reality simulators, providing players with only high quality rendering in ultra-high definition Ultra HD, 3840x2160.

We suggest watching a video of the presentation of the new console:

Virtual reality glasses from Apple

In addition to the standard features that have already been tried out in the latest VR glasses, the device, developed by Apple engineers, will be able to offer its owner:

• full synchronization with the IPhone;
• mixed reality, the essence of which is the adaptation of the game situation to the terrain surrounding the user;
• high-quality built-in photo and video camera, for the use of which you do not need to shoot a gadget.

Personal PC innovation

Along with classic models personal computers, powerful gaming laptops and compact tablets, will hit the market during 2018 hybrid models because consumers today are interested in new gadgets that combine the advantages of different types of PCs.

A striking example of new transformable computers can be considered Lenovo laptops Blade and Microsoft Surface Pro 5, scheduled for release in 2018.

If you are more interested in new gaming electronics, using which you can run the most TOP games that will be released in 2018 on a stationary PC, we recommend paying attention to such market innovations as:

• innovative 10nm Intel processors Cannonlake;
• video cards with GDDR6 memory;
• new generation GPUs NVIDIA Volta, which may appear at the end of 2017;
• dual-chip Vega 10 graphics cards from AMD.

What will be the price of computers equipped with such novelties, one can only guess. Only one thing can be said with certainty - their cost will be in the premium segment.

Individual vehicles in 2018

In 2017, such individual vehicles, how:

• segway;
• gyro scooters;
• unicycle.

In the coming year, interest in such new products on the market will grow rapidly. It can be expected that prices for personal electric vehicles to move around the city streets will decrease, and technical specifications models - to improve. The expected characteristics of the new segway and hoverboard scooters are:

1. increased cross-country ability due to an increase in the diameter of the wheels;
2. more powerful batteries, allowing for longer battery life;
3. fast charging system integration;
4. protection from moisture, which will allow the use of vehicles not only in warm and dry weather;
5. full integration with gadgets running under iOS control or Android.

It is worth noting that today people moving through the city streets on similar models electric vehicles are subject to the same rules as for pedestrians. But, it is quite possible, in the near future, this issue will be revised, because the maximum permissible speed of electric transport is rapidly increasing with each new model.

Gadgets - technical gadgets for completely different purposes - are man's best friends. According to statistics, for everyone living on Earth there are at least three technical device, that is, a useful gadget. Being completely different and designed for different purposes (watches and phones, docking stations and microphones, projectors and miniature robots), gadgets greatly facilitate the life of a high-tech person and do not let him get bored.

With all the virtues modern smartphones, almost all of them have the same problem: a battery that, at best, will last for half a day of active use. And since new types of batteries are still at the development stage or even in the form of prototypes, a solution was found in the face of external batteries. However, with the arrival of the trend on wireless charging, the chargers had to change too. And one of the first such gadgets was presented by the Bezalel company.
