Exhibition of mobile technologies. Gadgets go beyond. Top smartphones exhibition
Mobile Word Congress is the world's largest exhibition of the mobile industry. It takes part in it mobile operators, 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 of the cellular network of the 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.
The excitement around MWC 2018 was an impressive - 2300 participating companies from 208 countries, more than 110 thousand visitors and 95% of the expiration of all Barcelona hotels during the Congress, which can be divided into two parts: smartphones, tablets, laptops and other mobile Devices and stands of manufacturers of telecommunications equipment and mobile operators.
If we talk about consumer electronics, then the chadliners on the MWC 2018 had two - Samsung and Huawei. Also, their new flagships showed Sony, Nokia and Asus.
New Galaxy
One of the main events of the last exhibition was the presentation of the Galaxy S9 / S9 + Smartphone from Samsung. If it is very short, then at the moment Galaxy S9 + looks like one of the main candidates for the title of the best Android-smartphone of 2018, but it will actually show real testing and user reviews.
The design of Galaxy S9 / S9 + was not surprised - he is very similar to his "older brother." If you do not see the camera and the location of the print scanner, then distinguish Galaxy S9 / S9 + from Galaxy S8 / S8 + is generally impossible.
As for internal changes, there is something to note. The storage capacity increased to 256 GB, and the number random access memory - up to 6 GB. Processors - EXYNOS 9810 OCTA (EMEA region) and Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 845 (CSHA and China). Both processors are about 30% more powerful last year's versions and have a special neural network support unit artificial Intelligence.

But the main thing is, of course, the camera. It is around her all the concept of Galaxy S9 / S9 + is built.
First, she has a replaceable aperture F / 1.5-2.4, which allows you to make high-quality pictures and in conditions of insufficient lighting, and in a bright sun. Moreover, it is now the most syllable camera on the mobile market. Secondly, new camera now knows how to shoot the video Super Slow Motion 960 k / s and allows you to quickly make cyclic rollers from it ready sound track and shake.
Thirdly, shooting video in 4K resolution (3840x2160) at 60 k / s.
Of course, Samsung is unlikely to be able to avoid jokes about the fact that Galaxy S9 / S9 + would be worth named galaxy 8s and 8s +, since external differences are very few. And of course, Galaxy S9 / S9 + is likely to be, the most expensive Android smartphone in 2018 (expected price of 60-75 thousand rubles), if it does not overtake the next Galaxy Note in August.
Laptop without frames
Another bright device presented at MWC 2018, Called Huawei Matebook X Pro laptop. In recent years, laptops rarely attract attention, but in this case the company, which is called, "invested" into development.
It seems that the company's engineers decided to demonstrate everything that are capable of. The ratio of the size of the display to the MATEBOOK X Pro case is 91% - the absolute record for laptops.
Resolution touchscreen It is 3000 x 2000, 260 ppi, weight - 1.33 kg, thickness - 14.6 mm.
CPU Intel Corei7 8550U / I5 8250U eighth generation, discrete graphics NVIDIA GeForce. MX150, battery 57.4 W / h, providing 12 hours of video playback - In general, the definition of "fire" is fully suited to Huawei Matebook X Pro.

But it is good, as it looked at the exhibition stands in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bonly real exploitation will show. However, some disadvantages are visible now - Matebook X Pro loops open at no 360 degrees, so unfold the screen and turn it into the tablet cannot be turned on.
In addition, due to the specific location of the chamber hidden by the button on the keyboard, simultaneously communicate through video links and is difficult to print, since the fingers are blocked by the lens.
And of course the price. Not that it stands out from the laptops of this class, but still quite high - € 1500-1900 depending on the configuration. Will Matebook X PRA officially be sold in Russia, is still unknown.
Bet on nostalgia
Its own new smartphone The average price category on the MWC showed and Nokia. We note the next, and most likely a successful, marketing move - reissue of the legendary slider from the film "Matrix" Nokia 8100. Apparently, the company HMD Global, which owns the Nokia brand rights, continues to successfully exploit nostalgic feelings of users, representing the remake of famous old phones.
Nokia 8100 / Dmitry Bevza
Recall that last year at MWC Nokia announced a reissue of the iconic model 3310, which began to be sold in Russia in May 2017. On the updated device, the users were waiting for the "the most" ringtones, as well as the popular game "Snake".
Head Trend - Neorigability
Mobile Research Group Lead Analyst Eldar Murtazin told Gazeta.ru that a noticeable feature of the MWC 2018 was the invasion of the Barcelona little-known outside China companies producing smartphones, which, due to the fall in domestic demand and the highest competition in China, are trying to escape in foreign markets.
"At the same time, it is safe to argue that it is unlikely that they will succeed as a result of the lack of experience abroad and not the most adequate prices. These brands in Europe, the USA, Russia, no one knows and without some dumping to win at least some significant market share is unrealistic, "the expert believes.
Another feature of the smartphone market, quite clearly manifested this year in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwas the practice of quick copying and introducing the most successful solutions of competitors. This concerns I. external view, and ergonomics, and functionality.
Double Cameras, Warmless Design, Screen Assembly 18: 9, Processors with neural network modules for working with a camera, Gorilla Glass glass, waterproofing, Slow Motion mode - Almost all modern flagship smartphones possess such characteristics.
It is becoming more difficult to distinguish them from each other, the difference is felt only in the level of implementing all these solutions, the price and in different user experience during the operation of smartphones.
As for the telecommunications part of the exhibition, at first glance, she did not differ from the MWC 2017 at first. All the same stands and the same topics of speakers - 5G, Internet of things, artificial intelligence, VR / AR.
Analyst MFORUM Alexey Boyko agreed with this assessment, but added that the devil, as always, lies in the details.
"Yes, the list of trends since 2017 has not changed. Their content changes and attitude towards them. To a large extent, these topics moved from the plane "talking about the future" into the plane "Practical solutions". In particular, before the end of 2018, several operators will launch 5G networks in commercial operation. Considering that 5G is a "resolution" technology for the mass Internet of things, VR / AR, cloud, one can be sure that the conversion process from the theory in practice is launched for these technologies. The key point was the adoption of the 5G NR standard in December 2017. Rubikon Perid, 5G will become a reality until the end of 2018, "says Boyko.
Summing up the past Mobile World Congress, we can say that for the first time in many years it has not been manifested by a single new trend, and it became essentially the second part of the MWC 2017, filling the existing trends only by some specific.
The Mobile World Congress electronics exhibition is held in Barcelona. How do gadget manufacturers surprise this year?
Nokia. Return legend
A year ago at the same exhibition MWC Finnish brand Nokia introduced an updated model nokia phone 3310. Despite the fact that the device was not similar to the legendary unnecessary "brick", its sales went very well.
On the wave of success, the company decided to please their fans by another remake. The choice fell on another famous model - Nokia 8810, which has become popular at the end of the nineties after the release of the film "Matrix", where heroes were actively used.
Unlike old model The updated device can connect to high-speed networks. fourth generation 4G. The 2.4-inch screen supports a low resolution of 320x240 pixels, and the volume of the built-in memory is only four gigabytes.
On the phone installed popular applications for social networks, as well as google services. Nokia 8810 also supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, it can be used as a router. And it is simply not comparable to the buttons that are not comparable, inaccessible to the owners of smartphones. There is also a camera in the apparatus.
The cost of the new Nokia, which in the yellow casing looks like a banana, will be 79 euros. It is interesting that the original model of the nineties managed to buyers almost ten times more expensive.
By the way, simultaneously with the Nokia 8810, the craftsmen from the reorganized Finnish-Chinese company presented an ultra-budgetary smartphone called Nokia 1. Its cost - 69 euros. Obviously, the company decided not to take the giants of the market with their smartphones per thousand dollars, but to do cheap devices.
4.5-inch smartphone display has a low resolution of 854x480 pixels, not very powerful processor, as well as two standard chambers - 5 megapixel main and 2 megapixel frontal. But on it "runs" the newest android version 8.0 Oreo, more precisely, its variety called GO Edition intended for low-power gadgets.
Specialists believe that for residents of poor countries both new items will be just right.
Champions in price
One of the most discussed MWC exhibits this year has become new flagship sAMSUNG smartphones Galaxy S9 and S9 +. It is very entertaining because nothing fundamentally new in the models has not appeared. Nevertheless, the novelties deserve attention and the story about them.
Phones are equipped with 5.8 and 6.2 inches screens with excellent resolution of 2960x1440 pixels and aspect ratio of 18: 9. Unlike the Galaxy S8, the fingerprint scanner is located in the new models not on the side of the chamber's eye on the rear panel, and below. I would like to hope that the complaints of users who are constantly waving and planing the lens will become less.
The main change is associated with the camera that can adjust the diaphragm (the width of the opening for the passage of light). This allows you to make good pictures in different lighting conditions - both very bright and insufficient. Another "chip" camera is a speed shooting mode at a speed of 960 frames per second and subsequent slow motion playback.
In samsung, presenting new Galaxy.Made focus on the so-called selfiems. These are moving cartoon characters, which the new smartphone is trying to draw similar to the owner. You need to resolve the device to scan your face - and the character will appear on the screen distantly similar to you and repeating all movements. It can be embedded in chats, make animated GIF files with it.
It is already known when new items will appear in Russia - this will happen on March 16. For younger version Galaxy S9 with 64 gigabytes of memory (MicroSD cards are supported) will need to post 59 990 rubles, for the older - 66,990 rubles. Experts advise a little wait a bit - a few months later, when the excitement will fall, prices will be noticeably lower.
Laptop with secret button
It would seem that unusual could be in the usual laptop? But engineers from the Chinese company Huawei found a way to improve the familiar "laptops".
Model called Matebook X Pro differs not only by an ultra-thin case and a display with very thin frames (the developers gave tribute to modern cramless smartphones). Thin frames are not only beautiful, but also functionally - a larger display can be fit into the case of the same sizes.
But the most important thing is not in a powerful stuffing, abundance of various ports for connecting additional accessories and mighty resolution of 3000x2000 pixels (although it is also very important). Huawei Matebook X Pro highlight is a camera that is built-in anything can not be guessing - in the keyboard.
Yes exactly. The lens of the retractable chamber lies under the cap, which reminds the usual key, simply shows the camera icon. The "fake" button is between the keys F6 and F7. They want to hope, rarely who uses, otherwise random presses are inevitable.
Such a solution has obvious advantages - for example, close the chamber to avoid surveys (and many of them fear), very simple. It is enough to press on the lid, and the lens will hide. In addition, during the video chat, the laptop owner will look almost in the face of the interlocutor, and not over his head. But there is a minus - for example, printing and communicate through the video will be difficult, because the fingers will close the camera. The laptop also has a fingerprint scanner, and it weighs only 1.3 kilograms.
Many, of course, will scare the price - the basic version will be sold for 1500 euros, or about 100 thousand rubles. It is quite a lot for a 14-inch laptop. On the other hand, it has sufficiently comfortable "chips" that make it easier to work with it. And do not forget about the ultra-thin housing - less than one and a half centimeters in a fattest place.
Whether the smartphone is or battery
In modern smartphones, a battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh is standard. This allows most devices to live from morning to evening in active use mode. However, not all due to internal beliefs are ready to live in "half an hour from the outlet." For them, smartphones are invented with more capacious batteries - from 5000 mAh and above.
But the ENERGIZER POWER MAX P16K Pro is an absolute record holder in this category, which will be on sale in the autumn of 2018 and will cost $ 500, or about 30 thousand rubles. As you can guess the symbols 16K in the title, it will be equipped with a 16000 mAh battery.
For comparison - a smartphone with a battery is sold in Russia, the capacity of which is 12,000 mAh. It is still a record that, which, however, will break soon.
The housing of the new "Energizer" turned out to be massive - it is more than twice as thicker iPhone 7 due to the thick battery. Influenced the capacious battery and the weight, which was about 300 grams. The characteristics of the device came out quite good, but not outstanding - a 6-inch screen with a resolution of 2160x1080 pixels, a 16-megapixel main camera. I did not regret the manufacturer and RAM - it turned out to be as many as 6 gigabytes.
So far, it is not known whether it is possible to use this monster as an external battery for other devices, but I want to believe that yes. How many days of the Energizer Power Max P16K Pro will be able to work from a fully charged battery, scary even think. It can be assumed that a week.
Fast and even faster
The more devices are connected to the Internet, the more data they need to be transmitted. So, you need to increase the "thickness" of the channels mobile communicationsSo that any connected gadget does not experience constraints in speed.
At the MWC exhibition, Qualcomm, the world-famous microprocessor manufacturer, showed how 5G networks will work. During the "field tests", engineers managed to achieve a speed of downloading data 1.4 gigabits per second. It is more than 20 times faster than in the current fourth-generation networks operating in different countries World.
Together with the speed of download, the speed of the remote server response to the user request will increase. If now "answer" has to wait 24 milliseconds, then in the networks of the fifth generation, this indicator will be about 8 milliseconds. That is, waiting delays will become as short as possible or generally imperceptible.
Qualcomm argue that during testing they tried to close as much as possible to the actual conditions of use cellular communication. Therefore, these speed indicators are what is waiting for ordinary users after a year and a half.
Twin, but not brother
The electronics exhibition would not be as interesting without clones of the legendary iPhone from China. This time, the company from the Middle Kingdom called Leagoo brought a device called S9 to Barcelona. It can be safely called the cheapest clone "dozens" - the cost of the device is only 150 dollars, or about 8,200 rubles.
The manufacturer itself describes his creation as follows: "The first in the world of the iPhone. X sub android management". In the smartphone there are almost all the signs of" ICSA "- and cutout at the top of the 5.85-inch screen, and gestures, including the folding of all applications by the movement" thumb up ".
It did not cost and without the recognition system of the owner in the face - this Leagoo S9 also knows how (the question is only how good the recognition works well). However, if you wish, you can use the fingerprint scanner - it is located on the rear panel, under the lens of the 13-megapixel chamber.
Mobile WORLD Congress (MWC) – this is the most large-scale exhibition of the mobile industry and Congress with the participation of the world's largest manufacturers of mobile technology and telecom operators. Every year in February in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthousands of participants and visitors from all over the planet are coming to this event.
This year, the exhibition took place from February 26 to March 1. During this period, experimental developments of Huawei and Qualcomm companies in the field of 5G networks were presented, and new mobile devices of such brands like Sony, Samsung, Alcatel, Asus, Nokia, LG and many others were presented.

We have collected only the most interesting developments for you, about which in detail and tell.
Samsung
In the "zero" day of the exhibition samsung company He conducted a presentation, within which new flagship smartphones were shown - Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus, which externally practical do not differ from last year's Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. An explicit difference can be noticed only on the back of the smartphones, because now the fingerprint scanner is right under the camera.
Also, from pleasant innovations, it is worth noting the appearance of stereo-speakers and new, very loose 12 megapixel cameras with the possibility of switching the aperture, the HD video recording of 960 frames per second and fast focus even with poor lighting. Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus also received a second 12 megapixel module with a telephoto lens that allows you to make frames with a blurred background. Front-camera The devices received a resolution of 8 mp, a diaphragm F / 1.7, wide-angle optics with an angle of view of 80 degrees and the possibility of creating AR Emoji - 3D emoticons, which are similar to you not only by face and voice, but also facial.
Traditionally, smartphones received productivity growth due to the new processor Samsung Exynos. 9,9810, 2.9 GHz (for Europe and Russia) or Qualcomm Snapdragon. 845, 2.8 GHz (for the USA).

Company designers made smartphones rounded, removed 3.5 mm connector (the adapter enters the kit for USB Type-C) And moved the fingerprint scanner to the middle of the devices. The main chamber module has moved there.
XPERIA XZ2 became the world's first smartphone with a camera that allows you to record video in 4K HDR format (HEVC 10-bit HLG BT.2020) and Full HD with a frequency of 960 frames per second. Also 19-megapixel rear and 5 megapixel frontal modules using a special software We learned how to create 3D models of objects and due to 3D scans of persons 10 times improved the details of the photos. In addition, Sony, together with Qualcomm manufactured new processor Image processing, as a result of which the color reproduction has improved and the number of noise with insufficient lighting has decreased.
Stereo speakers of smartphones have become 20% louder compared to last year's models. Due to the modified shape of the body, the capacity of batteries increased - 3,180 mAh in xz2 and 2,870 mAh at the XZ2 Compact.

Ulefone
Completes our selection of the most interesting devices of the MWC 2018 smartphone from the company ULEFONE called T2 Pro. This device has become a real surprise for all visitors. A huge frameless 6.7-inch screen with the aspect ratio of 19: 9, battery for 5000 mA h, double camera, Helio P70 processor with 8 GB of RAM and fingerprint scanner, which is embedded directly to the screen. And that's not all. The expected price of the smartphone is only 380 dollars! The start of sales is scheduled for August of this year.
The Mobile World Congress 2018 exhibition is completed and journalists summarize her results. It's time to take another look at the announcements made and understand which of them are important, which is not that unexpected we saw.
Of course, everyone was waiting and waited for the appearance of Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 + devices, but Sony, LG, Nokia, Huawei and some others also managed to distinguish themselves. Let's see who showed itself better than everyone.
Top smartphones exhibition
It already sounds like a cliches being brought, but Galaxy S9 for 60000 rubles. Many call the best android smartphone. A camera with a variable aperture appeared here, premium beamless design has been improved, new processors are used.

Sony made the course of the horse and changed the outdated design of their flagship smartphones Xperia. Now they have the aspect ratio of the screen of 18: 9, the screens occupy more than 80% of the housing. Frames from above and below still there, but much less than the former.

The best technology exhibitions
Here there will be a fingerprint scanner inside the screen and popping out the front camera from the recess. The smartphone is not retail yet, but only a concept. This manufacturer already sells the X20 Plus UD smartphone with the print scanner inside the screen, but this model uses the following generation of this technology, where the scanner can be placed in any part of the screen.

Instead of reaching your finger across the large screen, you can click on the middle and the device is unlocked. The technology still has shortcomings and works in imperfect, but it looks promising the most innovative of those presented at the exhibition. In addition, the front camera is hidden here in the housing, so the screen is truly curious without cutouts upstairs.
The worst technologies of the exhibition
Again cuts
In the cutouts there was no lack, they are on smartphones asus And some Chinese manufacturers who decided to copy the iPhone X. Screens have high permissions And they occupy most of the buildings, but who likes the iPhone X, it is unlikely to buy Chinese smartphones.
Samsung did everything right and removed the upper and lower frames, made curved edges and created a beamless view without copying Apple. Judging by the fact that the remaining manufacturers do not show such independence, this year the cuts on the screens will be quite a lot.
Artificial Intelligence
If for each mention of artificial intelligence in smartphones gave a dollar, it would be nice to increase their capital. This is fashionable currently phrase, which mentions the place and especially without. Cameras on mobile devices Not at all need a Skynet's mind to take pictures.
