Apparently, Lenovo noticed this today in Barcelona were three new superavtonomnyh smartphone – Lenovo S660, S850 and S860.

Lenovo S660

Currently has bred a great number of “messengers” like WhatsApp and Viber, and competition has become high as ever – here you and LINE, and WeChat, and is rapidly growing Russian Telegram, and Heml.is, claiming to be the most secure (from one of the founders of the torrent tracker The Pirate Bay, is coming out soon). In order to keep the palm, WhatsApp, which is now owned by Facebook, will get support voice this year.

“But in WhatsApp already have voice messages” – you say, ‘and you’d be right. Do not confuse the voice messages and “live” chat on the phone, not only through the operator’s network and the Internet. This functionality is not new, it is present in said Viber – and, most likely, would be another way of monetization, it is unlikely that users will provide a sweet fruit for free.

Considering that to this day WhatsApp occupies a leading position in the market “messengers” (465 million monthly active users), would not be surprising if, after talking implementirovaniya its popularity grow even more – if, of course, will not be repeated many hours drop network because of which there is a significant outflow of users towards competitors (read: Telegram).

Yesterday Samsung unveiled its vision of its flagship smartphone for the whole year – Galaxy S5. Around this model, there were many rumors that it is logical, it is one of the most anticipated smartphones of the year. Not confirmed rumors about any metal housing or display with a resolution of 2K (thank you!) But the Koreans were able to interest and, despite the reviews of skeptics who do not like the design, I must say that in life model looks cool, although previous generation of great demand.

Unlike many other champions, in S5, as you might expect, there are some very interesting pieces, as by software and hardvernye. But first, on what is necessary to stop immediately – water-proof case, protected by standard ip67. This means that you can safely go out in a downpour and photographing passers running through puddles without worrying for the safety of your smartphone. However, swim with the Galaxy S5 is not necessary.

For me, it immediately became bell that we must look at the S5 carefully, because it is watertight I like it in other models. However, because of this, MicroUSB 3.0 connector plug had to be closed. I am glad that the headset connector remained open.

Housing is no longer glossy, but still folding. Under the back cover, made of opaque plastic, placed the battery capacity 2800 mAh battery, and a slot for memory cards MicroSD.

Now the smartphone is not available in two colors, and a few, including bright as ours. There is the case under the gold! But otherwise looks really not a lot of changes. Smartphones can be confused, especially when viewed from the front.

I was pleased that Samsung has not chased pixels, megapixels and megahertz. Here we see a 5,1 “SuperAMOLED display with a resolution of Full HD. This permit enough with his head! Although, I think, in Note 4 pixel density, yet increase. And there are already familiar processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, working together with Adreno 330 graphics. This iron is also missing with a head for any task, besides, it is run-on any smartphone, and hence problems with it will not be in any respect. But there is and weird moment – in the smartphone 2GB of RAM. Given that the three have already got and Note 3 with similar iron, and models from other manufacturers, there is such a solution is not clear.

Now to the chip. To begin with, that the S5 visible emphasis on the sport. That is why, together with Galaxy S 5 showed us smart fitness bracelet (although rather fitness watches) Samsung Galaxy Gear Fit. Here and advanced service S-Health, and even pulse sensor, located near the flash. By the way, I do not understand the presence of the sensor is in the smartphone, in the bracelet – yes, and here …

In addition, the mechanical key home embedded fingerprint scanner. It’s cool, I recently encountered a huge problem in his absence Galaxy Note 3 may tell then. Unlike the iPhone, unlock need not hold your finger on the button, and spending on it. Opportunities for scanner pobolshe than iOS – here and electronic payments PayPal, and the ability to lock individual applications scanner.

16 MP camera, shoots video in 4K. Talking about the quality of the images obtained with its help, it is too early, should be tested. However, there are a number of interesnosney who can state right now. For example, the world’s fastest autofocus – just 0.3 seconds. Or when shooting HDR not only photos but also videos.

Loved mode Ultra Power Saving Mode, which is useful in a variety of emergency situations. When activated, the entire interface becomes BW and features available only from basic to keep in touch. In this mode, the smartphone can live up to 24 hours only 10% charge.

Version of Android – the last to date – 4.2.2 KitKat. Installed on top of it branded interface Vibrant UX (now not TouchWiz). And I liked the shell. Without tiles, flatter, with icons, very similar to a normal Android. 

On the rest of the chips are going to look even during the review. The only thing I can say – I liked the model and much, though, I must admit, I liked and S4. Design – a matter of taste and argue here about. And in terms of practicality smartphone grew on its head: now the housing is not glossy and dustproof moisture. Features modern, without giganticheskih habits, the only thing that you can complain about – 2 GB of RAM. Hopefully that will be missed.

I do not remember when, but we have previously touched upon the subject Blackphone. This smartphone total production companies GeeksPhone and Silent Circle. Main feature of the device is modifying Android called PrivatOS, sawed from Google services and stuffed spy magic to maximize the privacy of the subscriber. Problem paranoid at times turns into news about the next action or protest. So for these protesters and developed Blackphone, which is already available for pre-order.

The brainchild of a software company and a startup hadvernogo looks quite normal. Externally, the smartphone to the name. This device is completely black without any design tweaks. Looks like most unpretentious and affordable smartphones. But the size of it a little more of. He has a 4.7-inch display with HD-resolution (the exact number of points concealed) and IPS-matrix. The processor is also not named, but said that there are four core and 2 GHz, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB hard drive. Two cameras: front with an unknown resolution and 8 megapixel main. Smartphone supports LTE, has all the necessary wireless modules. Exact dimensions and weight of the case while also behind the scenes. 

So, we have plus-minus average unit with a modified OS based on Android, which is supposedly able to help hide their negotiations. Somehow, we always want to draw an analogy with the BlackBerry. But now it is not so important. Blackphone already available on the website of the company for pre-order for $ 629. But just buy a smart phone and do not bathe on tapping will not work. Encryption works “at a distance» peer-to-peer, that is, to talk as it is now fashionable to call “sekyurno” only between two such device, or those who use the services of Silent Circle.

But that’s not all. Buyers Blackphone two years also have to pay for the use of services. In other words, just pulled from the Android services Google, replaced their own applications and provided a two-year plan. Included – application calls (and encrypted by superskheme will only VoIP), application for text encryption contacts, utilities working with wireless networks. Although changes also in the safety system works in general and in particular applications. Together with Blackphone user will receive three annual subscription services Silent Circle for family, friends or anyone else with whom you need to communicate about very private things. In any case, even the creators Blackphone not say that there is something for everyone 100% secure – all you can listen to, it would wish. But with Blackphone user can choose the level of protection of certain conversations and chats.

As for the other new products – expect updates family L, since last year with the prefix smartphones LII showed it to MWC.

Samsung

Despite the persistently circulating rumors to delay the release of Galaxy S5 at the end of February, just as part of the MWC, expect to see the most important for the Korean electronics giant smartphone is not necessary. Rather, Samsung repeat the experience of the past years and will present the S5 in a separate event. In turn, in Barcelona the day before the official start of the MWC should be submitted to a device that runs on OS Tizen. And at the exhibition may appear cause for joy among fans fabletov: Updated Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with a prefix or Neo Lite with a more modest camera than its predecessor, and should have a more modest price.

Sony

Unit, formerly known as Sony Sirius, also debuts on February exhibition in Barcelona as a new flagship – Z2. “Live” photos are not yet officially submitted the device for several days plow online spaces, so there is every reason to believe that there is nothing new in terms of the design does not have Sirius.
