The main novelties of the MWC 2013 - hodgepodge

The MWC 2013 exhibition ended yesterday. I was one of those who, with burning eyes, ran around in the soap around the exhibition with my colleagues in search of interesting things. Now is the time to look back. Under the cat I hid a few video pre-devices and not only for the sake of which it was worth it to come to Barcelona: NVIDIA Project Shield, Huawei Ascend P2, Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 and Xcover 2, Sony Xperia Tablet Z, ASUS Fonepad, LG and Nokia smartphones and all -all-all.

Sony Xperia Tablet Z - this thing was announced back in January, and now it was shown alive. Thing. We must take!


Huawei the day before the exhibition rolled out a single model Ascend P2. I can not say that it is bad, but we still expected something more. Nevertheless, this AFAIK is the only smartphone with category 4 LTE module, that is, in theory, it will weld at 150 Mbit / s


Samsung for MWC 2013 had two interesting new items. Home - Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet. Externally, this is Note II on steroids. Exactly the same design, even the speaker in place - but eight inches. By the way, I tried it - it breaks into the pocket of jeans.

The Koreans also found a protected Xcover 2 smartphone - a descendant of the first Xxavier, which was presented a year ago at CeBIT 2012. The second model looks stricter, it has a bigger screen (4 inches), a faster processor (two yards, 1.5 GHz) and still fresh Android 4.1. Most other protected smarts, note that antiquity is on board, like Android 2.3.


NVIDIA showed its Project Shield alive, that is, “Project Shield” - a gaming console, which they stubbornly call an “open gaming platform.” You can play it, you can stream the game from the computer.


Fujitsu S01 - smartphone-grandmother. It works on Android, but the interface there is completely redesigned. All large, simple, understandable. Plus, the vibration response when pressed so that the elderly person just felt. And this smartphone uses pauses in the interlocutor's speech in order to stretch words, make speech slower. Right on the fly.


With Habravchane probably already familiar with Ubuntu OS, and many managed to put it on Nexus. At the Canonical stand, we were allowed to play around with the operating system exclusively under the strict supervision of employees. And even the Internet was not allowed to turn on. But we saw something.



LG brought the Optimus G Pro. This is such a pumped version of Optimus G, which has been presented several times since last summer and was finally presented at CES in January. Very powerful, with a good screen, but ... mmm ... strange design. Square very.


Lenovo K900 - Full HD-ceiling, but it is not interesting, but because it works on a dual-core Intel Atom processor. And he has a chic metal case.


Mozilla made an OS for super-cheap smartphones made from sand, acorns and scotch - Firefox OS. During the exhibition, several large brands showed their models on it at once, but, in my opinion, the system was still sawed and sawed.


In the series of Nokia WinDVs, the replenishment of the Lumia 520 and the Lumia 720. Very, very simple, cheap and more powerful, more expensive.



ASUS has already gone mad and in the frenzy of crossing everything with everything turned Padphone into Fonpad - Fonepad. Big smartphone on Atom.


Personally, it upsets me that they have not shown a single fit keyboardist. And then it is necessary to look for happiness in America and Asia.
