Smartphone: Huawei Mate S
You will fall in love with the Huawei Mate S smartphone at first sight (if you haven't already). But it's not just elegant to look at and powerful. It also boasts the latest technology that upgrades touch control. This is taken care of by the fingerprint reader on the "spine", namely where the thumb is in normal posture.

The iPhone 6S is the identical twin of the iPhone 6 model (they are the same size, both have a 4.7-inch screen, but it is made of Ion-X glass, borrowed from the Apple Watch Sport). The tone of the "interior" is dictated by the 64-bit processor A9 (much faster than its predecessor A8) with the operating system iOS 9. It brought a new way of managing the touch screen, this 3D touch (3D Touch), which brings new dimensions of precision, because it detects how hard the user presses the screen and reacts accordingly.
Smartphone: Google Nexus 6P
Google's champion Nexus 6P has become smaller. Unlike its predecessor, the Nexus 6 from 2014, it was created together with the Chinese brand Huawei and not the American Motorola. Google has called its flagship the most premium mobile phone in history, for which there are many reasons, from software and design to hardware.
