This week, the World Congress mobile takes place in Barcelona, offering manufacturers the opportunity to demonstrate a new equipment without the need to carry out their own shine. So far, we have learned about some new laptops and phones, as well as the upcoming artificial intelligence updates for Android and an announcement of the Internet from META.
Look at Everything is announced on the Mobile Congress This attracted attention. We will update this story within a week.
Lenovo
Among the large manufacturers, Lenovo, perhaps the most loaded MWC had had the most loaded. The company opened a whole bunch of laptops, including Modernized ThinkPads and several intriguing conceptual models.
ThinkPad T14S 2-In-1 has a design that is more consistent with the convertible yoga line format than a typical ThinkPad. A 14-inch machine can be equipped using the Wuxga 400-Nit sensory display. Other ThinkPads get improvements in the specifications, while Lenovo claims that the new ThinkPad X13 Gen 6 has “one of the lightest ThinkPad in history”. The company has a fresh sheet Laptops with generative capabilities of AI Also.
Some of the concepts of Lenovo, of course, attracted our attention. This is a bummer that the company is currently not planning to turn over Sunny PC yoga concept In a commercial device. Thanks to the solar elements on the housing, the laptop can absorb enough energy from the sun after 20 minutes to play an hour of video. In total, only 0.3 watts are enough to take the juice to the battery. While solar laptops are not quite new, the solar computer yoga feels polished. We hope that Lenovo will make more with the concept in the future.
In addition, Lenovo showed some Conceptual display accessories For the ThinkBook laptop. There is an eight -inch screen that is attached to the side magnetic to help you, for example, keep up with notifications and widgets. The concept of the Magic Bay double display adds a 13.3-inch panel on both sides of the main display. There is also a thin second display, which is designed to sit over your laptop screen and provide quick access to such things, time, weather, notifications, focusing mode, AI and notifications.
In addition to all this, Lenovo suggested looking at the new prototype of the laptop with a flexible display. The construction of the technology that the company used in the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable, ThinkBook Codename Flip AI PC Prece of Concept (To give its full name) has a folding screen. This allows Lenovo to double the panel size from 13 inches to 18.1 inches. On the other hand, the ThinkBook Rollable display can extend to 16.7 inches. Again, Lenovo is currently not planning to release a commercial version of this folding laptop, but this is an interesting idea.
Samsung
Samsung's main news this year is The latest telephones of the company of middle -level and budgetThe Galaxy A56 field has a larger screen than its predecessor, 6.7 inches, but it is also 7.44 mm thinner versus 8.2 mm. Now there is a small blow where the volume and power buttons are located – the setting, which, as we feel, facilitates the handling of A56.
Samsung changed the camera in A56. On the front there is a lower 12MP lens. On the other hand, you will find an updated 12 -megapixel ultravid, the main sensor of 50 MP and a 5 -megapixel macro lens. A56 has a bunch of camera function and image editing, such as the improved detection of an object in portrait mode and an eraser of the object.
Preliminary orders are open in the UK for Galaxy A56, which costs $ 499/499 pounds. He will get to the UK on March 19, but people in the United States will have to wait until “later this year.”
Samsung also revealed Galaxy A36 5G and Galaxy A26 5G. Both devices have a 3.7-inch display of 120 Hz with a brightness of up to 1200 threads. They also have an IP67 rating and a 5000 mAh battery with A56.
However, the basic models of each have only 6 GB of RAM (compared with 12 GB of A56). In addition, the A36 has a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor instead of EXYNOS 1580, which can boast A56, while A26 has an Exynos 1380 chipset.
Xiaomi
Unfortunately, Xiaomi has no plans to put the phone that he demonstrated in the MWC in the United States. This is a real pity, because no other companies sell phones as Xiaomi 15 Ultra In the country these days.
Xiaomi united with Leica to make a smartphone that is largely based on the photograph. The camera array includes a 1-inch 50-megapixel main Sony sensor, ULTRAWIDE CAM F/2.2 50 megapixels, a 50-megapixel mid-range lens with a focal length of 70 mm and a periscope range of 200 MR with a 100-mm focal length-it is equated 4.7x. Some pre -installed Leica filters help tie the know -how two brands.
This is not all that could be interesting for mobile laces. A separate set of Xiaomi photos includes additional clutch with a camera with a physical shutter button, adjustable dial and a special video button. You will also have the opportunity to attach a standard filter adapter of 67 mm to the body – in other words, some of the equipment that you can use on a special chamber is compatible with Ultra 15 as part of this installation.
In addition, the Ultra 15 has a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with an update frequency of 120 Hz and up to 3200 NIT brightness to help you look at your captures well. In addition, unlike some other Chinese phones (such as Huawei's), Xiaomi supports Google Services in Hyperos 2, which is the Android skin. Ultra 15 begins at about $ 1499 (about $ 1572).
Android
Speaking of Android, Google announced Two new functions working on AI for the operating system in MWCThe Live Video Function, which Google first looked at in the I/O 2024, allows you to share what the camera of your phone with Gemini sees so that you can ask questions of the chat -Bota about the frame.
The new screen function works similarly. You can ask the Gemini questions about what is on your phone or tablet.
If they work as well as advertised, these functions can become good for accessibility. Google will first offer them to the Gemini subscribers, starting from this month. Those who have $ 20 a month Google One Ai Premium membership that is included in Some Verizon planshave access to twins.
Nothing
Samsung was not the only manufacturer of smartphones to show two new medium -class devices in MWC. Nothing debuted his phone 3a Pro and Phone 3a At the event – although he still has to release the phone 3.
3a Pro has a more durable camera module (literally, since the device is about 10 grams heavier than 3a). It contains a telephotoration sensor of 50 megapixels with 3 -fold optical zoom; primary sensor 50 megapixels with a F/1.88 lens and a double phase phase detection (PDAF); and an ultravid 8MP sensor with a 120-degree field of view. The phone also has a telemacra mode. As for 3a, it boasts the main 50-megapixel camera with a single-pixel PDAF, but the other two sensors are the same as on 3A Pro.
The cameras are the main difference between the two phones that have a 6.77-inch AMOLED LTPS display with an update frequency of 120 Hz and up to 1300 threads of brightness. Phones have a 5,000 mAh battery with fast charging 50 W, and they work on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset.
The devices do not have a multi -purpose basic key, a physical button that can occupy screenshots and help you record voice notes. Phones also have some generative functions of artificial intelligence, such as the ability to transmit these voice notes and describe what in screenshots and photographs.
As usual, initially nothing offers these devices in the USA through a beta program. Provides the provision of 3A phone now open, and March 11-379 dollars. The phone for $ 459 can be in your hands on March 25.
There was more news from MWC outside the new updates of equipment and OS. Meta and Internet announced partnership To support the available Internet connection around the world. They together invest $ 30 million in this initiative over the next five years.
The main goal of the project is to help create infrastructure in areas where commercial providers have yet to do this. The initiative for joint financing of the connection will also confirm the curricula oriented to the community of solutions for insufficiently served areas and local networks. The Internet hopes to find more partners to help with the project.
