The smart lock may not be a completely new coinage, namely fingerprint (biometric technology) and contactless card locks could already be called smart locks, but the only real ones are those like Sesame from Kickstarter, which work in connection with a smartphone. But the big advantage of the Sesame lock compared to the others is that the use, and above all the installation, is a task for a child.
Forget smart watches, the watch that will really fascinate you in 2015 is the HYT H3, a hydromechanical watch where nothing is hidden from view, as you can observe the entire "production process" of time measurement through the glass.

Truly something the world has never seen before.

Well, Runcibl's mission is to discourage us from excessive phone use, and in the battle with all the wearable technology like smartwatches and bracelets that hope to do the same, it faces an uphill battle to survive.
It is typical for the MWC 2015 "holiday" of mobile telephony that each participant brings his new "goodies" and at Sony it is the Xperia Tablet Z4 Android tablet. It is incredibly thin (6.1 mm) and light (389 g*) and to the taste of everyone looking for Apple and Samsung quality, packaged under a different brand. With its 10.1-inch 2K (qHD) screen and powerful hardware, it definitely threw down the gauntlet to the tablet elite and expanded the choice for demanding users.

The Lenovo VIBE Shot has definitively blurred the line between a digital compact camera and a smartphone, as it gives you the best of both worlds. When it's a camera, it doesn't disappoint with a six-element lens camera that captures scenes at a resolution of 16 million pixels, but when it's a smartphone, it doesn't disappoint with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and a high-resolution display.

Swiss watches are a concept of accuracy and a Swiss landmark, so it was only a matter of time before one of the local manufacturers decided to make a smart watch. Perhaps surprisingly, this is not Swatch, but fashion watchmaker Mondaine. Helvetica No. 1 is therefore an apt name for a smartwatch that looks more like the classic, analog watches the Swiss are known for than smartphones, as is common practice.
The Sony Xperia E4G smartphone can boast of a low price (around 130 euros), a powerful battery (2300 mAh, which translated into hours means approx. 48 hours), fast 4G LTE connectivity, ease of use and a resistant plastic case. All this makes it very competitive in the concentrated market, especially since there is also a powerful processor that satisfies even users with a higher bar and an efficient "migration service", the Xperia Transfer application.
