VIBE S1: a phone that has two front cameras for better 'selfies'

Chinese company Lenovo follows the footsteps of Sony Mobile phone presenting its first " selfie ". Of course, experience is not only more megapixels in the front chamber. -derechamente- Is a camera. Yes, because the new Lenovo VIBE S1 is the first phone manufacturer with two front cameras.

This team also has a 5.0 inch screen, curved glass design and the availability of having two colors. The smartphone joins the VIBE family as alternative for self-portraits, considering that every day more than a million are taken selfies  on a smartphone.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

IPhone 6s is a great innovation: some of its innovations are not so

Apple is a company that usually usually offered innovation in their terminals, that's for sure. But for a while this is not something that is so clear because other companies are ahead of what is offered in the new models of the Cupertino company. And in the case of the  iPhone 6s , this has not changed since some of the additions are not exactly new.

The first is about the new technology 3D Touch which is heading into the iPhone 6s. This is new and allows us to offer an improved use of the terminal with more features. The truth is that the Huawei Mate S offers Touch Force that works in much the same way, but it seems that the implementation in the operating system looks much better in the terminal of Apple, because it can do more. Thus, one can say that the novelty is best implemented by the Cupertino company, but that is something that has never been ... going to be no.

But I really did not want to refer to this when I talk about new implementations that are not something that should be considered as novel. For example, the new 12-megapixel camera that is integrated into the iPhone 6s allows recording in 4K . This some time ago that it is possible in models with Android, such as LG or Samsung Galaxy G4 S6 (in all its variants). In addition, the OnePlus 2 also offers this possibility. Therefore, novelty, except in the iOS ecosystem, no nothing.

Do not go yet, there's more

Yes, it sounds a little banter, this is so. Another major inclusions in the iPhone 6s comes from the hand of Siri , now always listening. Surely this is something quite useful, no doubt ... but Apple has not exactly been the first to have thought of it. Without going any further, in a few generations the Motorola Moto X offer this possibility and also with activation configurable command (and, this, without mentioning the OK Google already widely used).

Therefore, the comendo "Hey Siri" can be "cool", but the truth is that it does not represent something new and, therefore, make the new iPhone differential 6s. Another area where the stall over Apple is removed.

Another innovation that met yesterday for iPhone 6s was the arrival of Live Photos , where he made ​​clear that this is a "completely new" technology. This is not, but the fact is that the implementation itself is remarkable. We say first because HTC Zoe -desplegado with HTC One M7 offered the same opportunity to capture a video image (including the BlackBerry Z10 very similar functionality is included). As seen in the presentation of Cupertino has refined the use, but again not much.

The truth is that, as of late it is clear, a number of developments are included in new Apple models are not much compared to Android devices (and all this without mentioning the new Pencil). And companies like Huawei, Sony and Samsung increasingly more advanced in their devices and have become my view to be a clear reference in the market and the Cupertino not. Would not you think?

New facts and features of Samsung Galaxy S7

Still a long way to meet the new Samsung Galaxy S7 . In fact, chances are that there will witness its official launch until early next year, probably coinciding with the Mobile World Congress 2016 to be held in Barcelona . Either ea, although not until then that we obtain official and reliable information about this highly anticipated model, have already begun to filter out some facts and features. In the last hours we have learned that the device in question could come equipped with a microSD card slot . Unlike its predecessor, in addition, this phone would have a uni body design and a battery that would be found sealed inside. There would be, in this case, the option of removable prove replaced by another compatible drive . This feature could upset some users, especially the most experienced, who want to be able to replace the original battery to extend its autonomy.

Anyway, it seems that Samsung has the firm intention to keep the premium design we've seen on all phones in the last year. No major changes in terms, then, expect hardware architecture . But what other features we have on the table?

We've already stated at first that it's open season for the rumors regarding the Samsung Galaxy S7 , so it is not surprising - at all - that count for weeks with approximate information about the team profile. Thus, it is very possible that the Samsung Galaxy S7 reach markets with two different processors. The first would be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 . The second, M1 Exynos developed in the factory own Samsung .But there's more. It seems that this chip will be able to combine performance with 4 GB of RAM , more than ample capacity for the user to enjoy complex applications and games with high graphics load.

We have other data with respect to the screen, one of the most important elements that can be found on your computer. Rumors say the device could come in two different versions. The first, with 5.2-inch screen. The second would reach 5.8 inches . History will remember much of what happened last year, as well as to present a brand new Samsung Galaxy S6 , the South Korean company showed the world an original Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge , equipped with a curved screen sideways. Are we talking about the new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ?

Samsung seeks more power: RAM modules already has mobile 6GB

If anyone thought that the 4 GB of memory would be an amount which would remain as a reference in the market a long time, just you know that it will not. Samsung just announced that it has managed to develop modules that allow to add no less than 6 GB , so it does not take long to begin to see mobile devices company with this option. It is clear that the mobile terminals are increasingly close to personal computers.

To achieve this, the Korean company has used technology to manufacture 20 nanometers and getting store 12 Gb (gigabits), that when changing to gigabytes results 6GB, with the various components-which is the brand that really matter to for the user and will allow Samsung to offer differential devices at first. Does the S7 Galaxy will be the first model to offer this? For it is more than possible, because everything fits as it is sufficient to begin manufacturing and integrating time.

The type of memory that has been developed is LPDDR4, which offers high performance as shown by the one included in the Galaxy S6, for instance. There is a detail that should not be left unnoticed: the consumption of new memory modules is reduced by 20% over previous Samsung itself, which favors the improvement of autonomy which is becoming clearer that advances in this section are achieved by adjusting the energy use in the components, not the technology and options BATTERIES

How will be used

Given what we have discussed, and reviewing their use today is given to the modules 8Gb LPDDR4 that were announced by Samsung in December 2014, it is normal that nothing will change in terms integration into mobile terminals. I mean, now models such as the Galaxy S6 edge + , have four modules 1 GB (8 GB) therein, to thereby have four "gigas". Now you will do exactly the same, but the store inside the new components 1.5 GB (12 GB) , the sum of these amounts to six gigabytes announced. Simple, easy and offers no problem.

The truth is that the arrival of this module will boost multitasking with mobile devices and also allow performance to be offered on phones and tablets is the best. And, this will be well on different operating systems such as Android and Windows (where it seems that Samsung intends to bet again). The fact is that this is a new "trump card" of the Korean company. Do you think good progress?

Apple iPhone 6S / 6S Plus: always the same, but a little more Expensive

The popularity of the iPhone is undeniable, year after year. The proof is: every year in September, Tim Cook announces new figures on the occasion of the launch of the new smartphone: the iPhone sales increased 35% worldwide and 75% in China. The combined effect of the dealings with the government, to facilitate the marketing of mobile, but also the arrival of PHABLET model.

And it is very logical that we find the same two smartphones we've discovered in 2014, but dressed by the small S distinctive design of a year without renewal. In appearance, the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus are very close to their respective predecessors. Tim Cook and Phil Schiller in play: on the outside, it's the same (with a new colors announced, golden pink already seen in leaks), but what is inside to look out for see some changes.

7000 Aluminium and 3D Touch Screen

Note however that the hull is now Aluminum 7000 alloy that previously were not many secrets for us. It should be certified "anti bendgate". Further, the tempered glass that protects the screen has been renewed. As indicated some indiscretions, the iPhone takes a bit of weight and volume: twenty grams and two small millimeters. Apple obviously did not spread too much on that. It is therefore not possible to know whether this trend is due to the new oleophobic glass, new alloy or other technology.

One of the reasons given by the rumors is the inclusion of Force Touch. The capacity of the touch screen to measure the force of pressure has indeed been formalized. It is called 3D Touch and is used especially to reveal shortcut menus and provide depth in exploring the information on the screen. Open or preview a document, get shortcuts to common actions system applications (Maps, Music, Photos, etc.).

To provide multiple levels of vibration depending on the force transmitted in 3D Touch, Apple renewed the haptic motor, again a possible cause of weight gain. Definition side and size, nothing moves side screen: 4.7 and 5.5 inches on the one hand, 1334 x 750 and 1920 x 1080 pixels of the other part, to resolutions of 324 dots per inch for the iPhone 6S and 401 pixels per inch iPhone 6S Plus.

A9 Chipset, LTE Category 6 and new Touch ID

As announced by Tim Cook, is inside everything changes. The chipset is indeed the A9, third iteration of the chipset home 64-bit, which is, according to leaks, manufactured by Samsung in 14 nm. It is 70% faster while being more energy efficient. Its GPU is 90% more powerful. And is helped by a coprocessor dedicated to environmental signals, the M9 (due to which Siri becomes accessible at all times rather than by pressing the home button).

With the new smartphone chipset gets a new set of network connections: WiFi MiMo ac, LTE Category 6, Bluetooth 4.2, and still the NFC and GPS. Touch ID also improved: the recognition of the footprint would be twice as fast. Answer in our next tests. No information about RAM and battery capacity: it will take to come dissections for information. Note that the proposed storage capacities are the same as last year.

New picture

This is the side of the photo to look out to see the biggest change. The iSight sensor has finally evolved. It now passes to 12 megapixels (against 8 before) and becomes compatible 4K video. As the size of the sensor does not change, the size of each pixel decreases and from 1.5 micron to 1.22 micron. What may seem considerable. The objective however remains the same: 5 elements opening of f / 2.2 and protected by sapphire.

The optical stabilizer is still exclusive to the Plus version, which is amazing. The iPhone 6S more wins besides the passage optical stabilization in video. A new common mode to both models finally appeared: Live Picture, in connection with 3D Touch. This is an animated picture, like Vine or Tumblr. Phil Schiller insists that this is not a video, but a picture ... We will not upset him.

Big changes also in the front with a sensor that Facetime from 1.2 megapixels to 5 megapixels. It remains, however, compatible with 720p video (probably to avoid slowdowns in Facetime with older models), and the goal remains the same. Note that to overcome the lack of flash in the front, Apple had the excellent idea of ​​using the backlight of the screen associated with a backside illumination sensor for white balance. Ingenious.

On sale as of September 25, but more expensive

The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, which will arrive with new accessories and new hulls, will be pre-orders from 12 September (not Friday, September 11 requires) and will be on sale one week later, on September 25. They will be jointly launched in 12 countries, including France, the United States and China. As for iOS, it will be available September 16 for all iOS devices 8, even the iPhone 4S.

At the time of writing, euro prices have just fallen: 749 euros and 859 euros for the 16GB versions of both models. Or slightly higher prices than last year. The irony is that Phil Schiller said during the keynote that the iPhone would not increase rates this year. He had forgotten that the indexation of its price list is made on the dollar and not the euro. Too bad for our apple (the case to say).

We will detail in tomorrow the other two ads Apple iPad Pro and Apple TV, and we will detail the new pricing structure, with patterns that disappear. And there are few.
