MWC 2011 News Review

Mobile World Congress 2011 has opened and many new products have already been presented. Even before the first announcement, we had heard about most of them. Now it’s time to see what was true and what we didn’t expect at all!

Samsung

It's all quite predictable, but no less interesting. As expected, the world saw the announcement of two great gadgets: a Samsung Galaxy S 2 smartphone and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet. True, we expected that the tablet will be called Galaxy Tab 2.

Samsung Galaxy S 2


This is a smartphone based on Android 2.3 operating system, controlled by the power of a dual-core single-gig gerts processor. According to some information, the architecture of the processor - the development of Samsung. The screen is made by AMOLED Super Plus technology, has a diagonal of 4.27 "and a resolution of 480x800 pixels. Honestly, not very much, the grain will be clearly visible. Moreover, AMOLED technology contributes to this. But the performance of the second galaxy will not be equal!

The main camera has a module of 8 MP and is equipped with a flash (hallelujah!), And the front one - 2 MP. The main camera allows you to shoot video in 1080p!

Speaking of sad things. Now Galaxy S 2 is the thinnest smartphone in the world, it is 0.2 mm thinner than the SE Arc in the thinnest spot. Our opinion is that autonomy would be better done more.

UPD. It turns out that at ultra-small thickness, in the Galaxy S 2 they placed a battery with a capacity of 1650 mAh. Now this is exactly the object of desire!

Speaking of the case - it is plastic.






Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
The tablet has a screen diagonal of 10.1 ", resolution - 1280x800 pixels. The screen is made using TFT technology, but still quite bright.
This miracle works under control of Android 3.0 Honeycomb. The processor that makes the device fast is a single-gigahertz dual-core, based on Tegra2. Autonomy should be good, battery capacity - 6860 mAh.
The tablet has two cameras: the main one for 8 MP and the front one for 2 MP. The main camera is also equipped with a flash and can shoot video in 1080p resolution.
Like the first Tab, Tab 10.1 is not metallic, but plastic is no longer glossy, but with an expressive texture. It is more practical.

Nokia

Everyone knows what the Finnish giant is going through . Nokia is only talking at MWC 2011 and hasn’t presented anything yet.

Stephen Elop said that the main line of smartphones companies running Windows Phone 7 will appear only in 2012. But already in this we will see the “first swallow” - a smartphone that has recently lit up. The smartphone has colored panels and, as it seems, a completely plastic case. We are talking about this phone in the new (sixth) issue of the video blog.

As we expected, Nokia will get many opportunities to modify the operating system from Microsoft. Finns will be able to “tinker” and finish it to a much greater degree than competitors.

Sony Ericsson

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play

The object of long discussions and many spy shots is now officially presented. Before you - a gaming smartphone on the Android OS 2.3.

Inside the XPERIA Play, a 1GHz Snapdragon with an Adreno 205 accelerator is installed. Sony says that 60 frames per second is not a problem for this smartphone, and you can play without stopping for 5 hours and 35 minutes.
The screen has a diagonal of 4 ", the resolution is 480x854 pixels and is made using TFT technology. Also in the XPERIA Play there is a 5 MP camera and stereo speakers.


Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro
This is a smartphone for the business segment. I would say about social networking, but part of the name “Pro” does not allow.
This is exactly the smartphone, about which neither we nor you have previously heard. Still, it is possible to keep something secret! Nevertheless, this gadget seemed to me even more interesting than Play. But this is my bias, I love the full keyboard.
XPERIA Pro - slider with sliding qwerty-keyboard. At first glance, the keys are very comfortable. They are separated from each other and are quite strong.
The smartphone has a Snapdragon processor with a clock frequency of 1 GHz. Screen - 3.7 ", resolution - 480x854 points. Despite the business orientation of the model, it is equipped with two cameras, with a total number of MPs - 10! Namely: 8 MP behind (ibid and flash) and 2 MP from the front.
If this model is localized in the CIS (and there is every reason to hope for it), XPERIA Pro will become one of the few full keyboard on Android in our countries. And, pretty good!


Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo
Another new company. This is a candy bar and, technically, almost a copy of the model XPERIA Arc. At first sight. The screen has a diagonal of 3.7 ", the standard resolution of 480x854 pixels. The processor is 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255. All the same two cameras, 8 and 2 MP, HDMI and ... again 320 MB of internal memory. This is ridiculous.
