The phone’s camera is the most discussed feature of the smart phone. The reason for this is the fact that it has a 20.7 MP sensor that includes many of the technologies used in the company’s cameras.

As distinctive features, Sony has introduced the option for a live broadcast on Facebook (Social Live) and the Info-eye application, which gives information about everything you capture, for example, a landmark, while being on tour.

Xperia Z1 has been improved in every way compared to the previous generation. The phone offers a more powerful 3,000 mAh battery, which will last even if you use the phone all day long. Special attention has been paid to the screen, which again includes popular technologies which Sony uses in their TVs. This ensures a better contrast and visibility in bright light, as well as more realistic colours.

Again, enthusiasts should watch the entire presentation of the phone:

We mentioned the presentation of LG G2 and the new flagship of Xiaomi. I will not go into great detail. I will just mention that the LG G2 which was presented a month ago surprised users with the transfer of all the hardware buttons to the back side of the phone.

The smart phone of the other technology giant from Korea definitely surpassed its competitors in terms of performance and managed to impress users with its characteristics. I suggest that you watch its commercial and presentation:

 

3 years ago, Xiaomi was an unknown start-up company with great ambitions and its own vision for the development of mobile technologies. Today, it is a company worth billions which has millions of loyal followers and which provides exceptional quality and smart phones that are equipped with the latest hardware components. It is not surprising that the company is compared to Apple (Xiaomi itself does not like this comparison), not only because of its loyal fans, but also because of the model on which they are working. They offer their phones at a low cost, and profit from sales of phone software and services. We can say that Xiaomi has realised the vision of the late Steve Jobs to a great extent, who believed that the hardware will be less important in the future while the main things will include the content and services that will be offered through it. Let me present you the Mi3, the new flagship by Xiaomi, which uses its own version of Android, named MIUI:

For the moment, Xiaomi smartphones are only available in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Recently, the company has managed to attract one of the main contributors to Android - Hugo Barra. His task will be to put the company on the global market. But do we need another company for smart phones? Since its products are bought in seconds on the Internet, I think that the answer is predetermined. However, judge for yourself:

Smartwatches gadgets of the future

I have recently presented the innovation which is emerging in the segment of watches: smart watches. This of course was just a warm-up, since we saw 3 offers in Berlin: Sony SmartWatch 2, the long awaited smart watch Samsung - Gear, and Qualcomm’s offer - Toq.

Samsung’s Gear offers a camera and good technical characteristics. The watch can also serve as a hands-free device after being connected to your phone. An annoying limitation is the fact that it is only compatible with Samsung phones.

Unlike Gear, Sony's SmartWatch 2 can be used with all smart phones.

The interesting thing in terms of the Toq smart watch by Qualcomm is its screen, produced by the company Mirasol, which is a version of the e-paper, but with the ability to display colours. We know that the screen consumes the most battery and e-paper screens are the most effective in terms of consumption.

All three offers will be available in the price range of 250-300 dollars.
