We all know the cries of "phone, phone" when someone pushes us clothed into the water. We all probably took the "first aid course" "How to save a mobile phone if it falls into water" precisely for this reason and because of similar cases. Now you can forget about such worries and live in the moment, as we present Comet, a smartphone that is not only waterproof, but also the first smartphone that floats on water.

Slovenia is a paradise for hikers and cyclists. Its picturesqueness offers something for everyone and, despite its small size, it is criss-crossed with thousands of trails that highlight its beauty. You know many of them, but despite your belief to the contrary, many of them you don't. But this can quickly change with the new free mobile application Hiking and Biking in Slovenia by Slovenian programmers, which is the result of cooperation between the economic interest association GIZ Hiking & Cycling and the Slovenian Tourist Board.
Take off all the fluff from your smartphone and you have a phone in "Eve's costume". Display and control panel. That's actually all you need. And that's exactly what the Luna Phone is, a minimalist-looking phone by Spanish technical engineer Jorge Arbela Cabrera, who specializes in industrial and product design, a concept that takes the mobile phone back to its roots in extraordinary style.
Apple unveiled two new phones at its recent gala event. iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. And while both look practically identical to their 2014 predecessors, they do hide some new features under the surface. However, many of the novelties are new only to Apple users, as they have been circulating in the microcosm of Android for some time. Let's check what Apple has borrowed from Android mobile phones this year.
Tim Cook said at Apple's gala event that the iPhone 6S is definitely the most advanced smartphone in the world. And yes, many people will immediately and unconditionally agree with this, others will not be convinced even by the facts. But do these speak in favor of the words of the leading man of Apple or not?
At Berlin's IFA, the world's largest consumer electronics and home appliance trade fair, Sony has unveiled three new premium smartphones under the Xperia Z5 label. The flagship of the family is the Xperia Z5 Premium, the world's first 4K smartphone, which boasts four times the resolution of full HD (most high-end phones have either a Full HD or Quad HD screen) and a two-day battery life.
The Acer Jade Primo smartphone is the world's first "PC phone" that can become a PC thanks to the Continuum feature of the Windows 10 operating system. Therefore, in addition to standard accessories such as a charger and headphones, you will also get peripherals such as a keyboard and a wireless mouse and a docking station. Continuum lets you turn your phone into an almost purebred PC when you connect it to an external display, keyboard and mouse.
Robin is the first smartphone in the world that uses cloud technology. Behind the phone, which quickly exceeded the set financial goal on Kickstarter, although it was set at half a million US dollars, there are ex-Googlers and ex-HTC employees. And yes, to say the least, the Robin doesn't stand out in terms of specs. There is a 5.2-inch screen with a resolution of 1080p, a Snapdragon processor and 32 GB of internal memory. With an emphasis on 'internal'. This Android is able to offer an additional 100 GB of cloud space! And that's the reason it stands out so much from the competition.
If you thought the best 'S' smartphone was the Samsung Galaxy S6 (Edge or Edge Plus) or the iPhone 6S (Plus), then we have to disappoint you. At least as good, if not better, is the newest member of Huawei's Mate family, the Huawei Mate S, the new flagship of this Chinese smartphone manufacturer, which is increasingly becoming the new Samsung and has thrown down the gauntlet to both the Koreans and Apple with its latest model. In Slovenia, the Mate S will be available in the fall of 2015, and across the pond it will be sold for a little over 700 US dollars.
Former Apple CEO John Sculley, among others to blame for Jobs' temporary dismissal, launched a new smartphone brand called Obi Worldphone. In doing so, he teamed up with Robert Brunner, a former protégé of the company from Cupertino. The idea for the new brand was to create phones that do not make compromises and are made in Silicon Valley with the best components, but their price does not exceed 200 US dollars. And so the flagship Android Obi Worldphone SF1 and the more affordable Obi Worldphone SJ1.5 were born.
The mobile phone market is as busy as ever. New models are coming like on a conveyor belt and even the biggest connoisseurs have a hard time keeping up with the pace of change. While the trends are still dictated by the big guys, their products from the Far East are increasingly making their way to the fore. Nevertheless, the phones that left the competition behind come from well-known "logs". To make it easier for you to decide among the multitude of offers, we have selected for you the ten best that reign in the second half of 2015.
