The IFA 2016 fair has dropped its curtain. The world's leading trade fair for consumer and entertainment electronics, communications, media and white goods, the IFA fair, served up a bunch of technological innovations for which we will be ready to untie our scrotums. We were particularly impressed by the following innovations.
If you want to use the computer quietly because you don't want to wake up your better half or roommate or disturb colleagues, use inaudible or silent keyboard and headphones. But one link has been missing until now. A deaf mouse. Even if you're using a touchpad on a laptop, the click is still loud and clicking can quickly become as annoying as playing with a coolie. If the coinage 'quiet as a mouse' was created in the 21st century, it would be inspired by the Logitech Silent mouse, as it is a mouse that is literally silent as a mouse. And not only that. This wireless mouse delivers all the precision and clicking sensations of a 'loud' mouse.
Apple introduced the iPhone 7 smartphone! The gala event, which took place in the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium (San Francisco) two days earlier than usual, served up a bunch of other innovations - including the second generation of smart watches, the Apple Watch Series 2 - and, of course, we were all eagerly waiting the very seventh generation of the most influential technological gadget of all time in the world. This is not a drill, ladies and gentlemen, this is the iPhone 7!
For the fourth year in a row, the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) has awarded the best smartphones. And who is the recipient of the European Consumer Smartphone 2016-2017 award, which is the phone equivalent of the Oscar for best film? Last year, the award went to Huawei or of the Huawei P8 model, and this year...
After Huawei threw down the gauntlet to the iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S7 with the P9 model, with the new Nova family of phones, it will now mix things up in the scene of powerful, but more affordable phones. With them, they want to satisfy the needs of the most dynamic consumers. The first representatives of the family are Huawei Nova and Huawei Nova plus, both of which are made of high-quality aluminum and have borrowed the fingerprint reader and sensor from the premium P9.
Yes, you read that right. Portable personal computer. Ockel from the Netherlands has come up with the unusual Ockel Sirius A desktop computer, which puts some much-needed wind into the sails of 2-in-1 hybrid computers that already seemed to have their days numbered. But IFA 2016 suggests they haven't said the last word yet. Sirius A is said by the Dutch to be the missing link between a Windows 10 PC and a smartphone.
Gymwatch is a training device that analyzes movements and measures exercise intensity in all forms of physical activity with incredible accuracy. It records every training process and enables detailed analysis. It measures everything that is key to progress, and the data is transferred in real time to the smartphone, which becomes our personal trainer. The analysis can also be performed via the web application.
The HP Specter is no longer the world's thinnest laptop. This title is now owned by the Acer Swift 7, which measures 9.98 millimeters in thickness! The 1.1-kilogram laptop is not just bones and skin, as it also has a lot of muscle and will easily cope with the challenges of demanding users.
Sony NW-WM1Z walkman player is not expensive because it would be a rare collector's item. It is brand new, and Sony presented a member of the Signature Series at the Berlin IFA 2016. For the Sony NW-WM1Z walkman, you will have to shell out, say and write, 3200 US dollars! The price is amazing, as is the sound, which is exactly as the artist intended. The idea of a player as a stand-alone unit may seem antediluvian, but the NW-WM1Z gives the Walkman legitimacy and a right to exist.
Garmin is mainly known for navigation devices, but in recent years it has also established itself in the field of sports watches and bracelets, but many people have overlooked that it also offers sports cameras. And the latest in their family – the Garmin Virb Ultra 30 – is a true masterpiece. It can do many things that other sports cameras cannot. Among other things, it has a three-axis optical image stabilizer, which the more famous GoPro cameras do not have.
A spacecraft with a Facebook satellite exploded in Florida yesterday, which greatly upset Mark Zuckerberg, who pointed the finger at Elon Musk, the alpha and omega of Tesla Motors, for the 95 million damage. The satellite, which would allow users from Africa, the Middle East and Europe to access the Internet, was on board the rocket of his company SpaceX.
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - but not for Asus. The Asus ZenBook 3 is lighter, thinner and faster than Apple's MacBook, and all it can fault is that the designers copied too much from Apple. The Asus ZenBook 3 is essentially a MacBook with Windows (Windows 10 Pro). If there was no Apple logo on the case, it would be hard to tell them apart. When we dig into the numbers, however, the ZenBook 3 sweeps the MacBook.
