Following in the footsteps of MWC 2019: TOP 5 noteworthy gadgets

Either a compact tablet, or a gigantic smartphone - Lenovo Tab V7 can be called this way and that. But judging by the prefix Tab in the model name, the gadget gravitates more towards the tablet league of devices.

The face of the device is without a tenth of a tenth of a 7-inch screen with FullHD + resolution (2160x1080 pixels) and newfangled smartphone proportions 18:9. The frames around it are modest, and the forehead and “chin” use the technique of symmetry. From the right corner of the front panel, a 5 MP selfie camera lens “looks” at the user. It is also used to unlock the device in the face.

Beneath the plastic body of the Lenovo Tab V7, the Snapdragon 450 octa-core processor is working like a bee - the best of the entry-level chipsets under the Qualcomm brand. The gadget carries on board 4 GB of RAM and an internal drive of 64 GB. Also in its assets there is a telephone module with support for work in LTE networks. To select the most favorable communication tariffs, the user has the right to switch between two SIM cards.

Photos on the "tablet phone" are taken using a 13 MP rear camera. In the immediate vicinity of her "eye" is a fingerprint sensor. Finally, the device's microcircuits are powered by a 5180 mAh rechargeable battery, on a single charge, which provides a long battery life for the Lenovo Tab V7. The model captivates with an optimal balance of price and functional qualities, as a result of which success is guaranteed to it.

At MWC 2019, the SanDisk Extreme family of miniature drives has been expanded with two larger capacity models. From now on , a memory card in the most "pumped" configuration is offered in a volume of 1 TB.

The card will serve as a haven for a huge number of photos, hundreds of hours of 4K video and the most "heavy" applications. Data is read from it at speeds up to 160 MB / s, and when writing files, the flash drive takes overclocking to 90 MB / s. The guarantor of non-susceptibility to subsidence of speed indicators below 30 MB / s is the support for the high-speed UHS-I U3 interface, along with the V30 speed class assigned to the model.

On the application class part, the memory card is labeled A2. This means that the flash drive complies with the Application Performance Class 2 specification - I / O operations per second when reading and writing files are at least 4000 OIPS and 2000 OIPS, respectively. Simply put, the drive is best suited for tossing and turning resource-intensive mobile applications.

The model is well suited for shooting ultra-high resolution video on a smartphone or action camera, and through a complete adapter it can be “put” into the slot of an “adult” photo or video camera. Together with the flash drive, the user receives a subscription to proprietary utilities Memory Zone (used for backup from Android devices) and RescuePro (a programme for recovering lost data). The laurels of the first swallow in the microSD format, which reached the capacity limit of 1 TB, the model shares with the Micron C200 drive announced in parallel.

While the sharks of the smartphone industry are competing in folding the screens of mobile devices, the “daughter” of the Chinese company ZTE has found its use for flexible displays. The smartwatch Nubia Alpha, positioned by the manufacturer as a “technically perfect wearable smartphone”, was equipped with such a “smart” watch.

The watch is armed with a narrow OLED screen, stretched diagonally by as much as 4 inches. Taking into account the proportions of the display 36:9, the picture is displayed on it in an atypical resolution of 960x192 pixels. To the right of the screen is a 5 MP selfie camera lens, used primarily for video calls. This feature, along with the ability to make and receive voice calls, works when the watch is connected to a Wi-Fi network or linked to a mobile service provider via eSIM (not supported in all areas).

Inside the wearable gadget, the electronic heart of Snapdragon Wear 2100 beats. Many would like to see a fresher processor - it appeared to the public back in 2016 and already had a follower at the time of the announcement of the device. The amount of memory on board the model is quite ordinary, as for a detachment of smartwatches: 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of ROM, which is enough for the smart responsiveness of a wearable gadget and storage of up to a thousand music tracks in the internal drive. The conductor of the technological watch orchestra is the homegrown Nubia system.

ZTE Nubia Alpha has the typical functionality of an average smartwatch: they keep track of user activity, monitor sleep quality, measure heart rate, duplicate notifications from a “linked” smartphone. In addition , the waterproof body of the wearable gadget is declared, and the duration of its battery life reaches 2 days. For those who want to stand out from the crowd and save money on buying a device at once, we are pleased to announce that in the version with only one Bluetooth module (Nubia Alpha ) the watch costs a good hundred of evergreen bills with the image of Franklin is cheaper.

HTC is going through hard times and is trying its best to find ways out of the protracted crisis. At the world-famous MWC 2019 exhibition, the Taiwanese brought a device of an interesting form factor that combines under one wing the charms of a mobile hotspot with support for 5G networks and an entertainment media system running the fresh Android 9.0 Pie operating system.

A smart device connects to the World Wide Web via fourth and fifth generation mobile networks (LTE and 5G, respectively), distributing Internet to gadgets from the outside via Wi-Fi. In one sitting, it is proposed to “connect” up to 20 consumers, providing them with high-speed Internet. Moreover, the operation of the HTC 5G Hub is possible offline - a capacious 7660 mAh battery is the key to the long autonomy of the device.

The smart hub has a 5-inch HD screen, stereo speakers and a microphone for receiving voice commands. Inside it is installed top-end "stuffing" as part of the flagship "octa-core" Snapdragon 855, 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of non-volatile memory. What for? In order to independently launch Android applications or games, broadcasting them to the screen of an external monitor(in resolution up to 4K with a frame rate of 60 fps) or transmitting a picture wirelessly to a connected VR helmet.

The device has dimensions of 129x100x43 mm and weighs about 340 grams. The best places for him are a table, chest of drawers or bedside table. Also , thanks to the built-in battery, the hub is convenient as a mobile access point for deploying a high-speed Internet connection at outdoor events (if we are talking about the corporate segment) or while traveling. One has only to take into account that the “smart” hub will “bite off” a considerable part of the free space in the luggage.

The flagship laptop Huawei MateBook X Pro created a buzz around itself at the Mobile World Congress 2018. A year later, its minor update arrived, along with which the portfolio of the Chinese manufacturer was replenished with a light version of the top laptop.

Huawei MateBook 14 is equipped with a 14-inch FullView screen with proprietary 3:2 aspect ratio. The resolution of the displayed picture with this aspect ratio is 2160x1440 pixels. The display occupies about 90% of the plane of the top panel and is characterized by accurate color reproduction due to 100% coverage of the "triangle" of the sRGB color space. In the maximum configuration of the laptop, the screen is also touch-sensitive.

In the hardware part , the model is based on quad-core Whiskey Lake generation Intel Core processors and NVIDIA GeForce MX250 discrete graphics. The amount of memory on board the device varies depending on its “charge”: “RAM” is offered up to 16 GB, and the capacity of an NVMe SSD can reach 512 GB. The "iron" combination of electronic components opens up access to solving resource-intensive tasks and full-fledged gaming.

The Chinese engineers of Huawei beat the camera in a very remarkable way, which is hidden in the row of function keys of the keyboard unit between F6 and F7. Also, the assets of the model should include stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos surround sound, a power button with a built-in fingerprint sensor and a rich scattering of various connection interfaces. Without recharging, the laptop can play video at medium brightness settings for up to 15 hours in a row. Moreover, in 15 minutes. at the outlet, it is possible for a laptop to extend its “life” by as much as 3 hours.
