now has the character of rituals: the period of the year preceding the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona is always full of anticipations regarding the top of the range smartphone which will be released in the following months. Also this year shows that the leak is inevitable phenomenon, and so in a couple of weeks away from the event we are a wealth of information on the new Galaxy (S7 and S7 Edge), on the phone flasgship LG, but also on a possible renewal in the high range of HTC and Huawei . But the real news is that this year will also talk about Apple. Not that the company has decided to be present at the fair, but it seems that spring event (March) present not only the new editions of its tablet, but also a iPhone, 5SE . An attempt not really new, and that carries on his shoulders the failure of previous iPhone 5c, but at the same time would make sense: Apple can not afford to get out of the range of 4 ” screen, and inevitably will shortly withdraw iPhone 5S; an upgraded version of the iPhone 5S could therefore not make them lose market share.
to act as a boundary to the giants of the industry, there’s also good news from China and Taiwan: Huawei is gaining positions and compete on equal terms with the big names in the industry, terminals from aggressive price and exceptional build quality. While HTC, although still in a stormy financial times, still has a few tricks up his sleeve to play. Let’s see them one by one.
Samsung Galaxy S7 & amp; S7 Edge: the team that wins does not change
On the two new Samsung flagship smartphone is pretty much almost everything. Besides, just missing the event that Samsung held on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress on February 21st. Meanwhile outputs are pictures, diagrams, renderings, everything and more, but the substance is a S7 and S7 Edge are refinements of previous S6 and S6 Edge , without aesthetic revolutions and design. But some news it can definitely aspettarcela: Samsung seems to have listened to advice from users who had not willingly accepted the absence of the slot for the expansion of storage via microSD , which should indeed return to new generation. The two phones will also IP67 certified, and is resistant to dust the water .
Leggere differences for the screen would remain, for the flat version, 5.1 inch, and would grow up to 5.5 inches for the Edge version, , or for that wavy edges. Again the technology would be ubiquitous Quad HD AMOLED with a resolution . The most interesting of which is spoken with a certain insistence would be the so-called AOD, which stands for Always-on-display . We’re talking about a technology that should leave a part of the screen always active to have on hand some types of content such as notifications, while consuming only 1% of battery time (type of Lumia Glance, for instance). The AOD could shrink to a beautiful marketing invention, whereas the AMOLED consumes no power on off pixels, but could also be a very useful innovations: here only time will give us the verdict.
The battery will offer the second good news, going to grow both in the “pot” model and in the curved. For the record, that of the ‘ S7 reaches 3.000mAh and 3.600mAh the edge of the version ; and there is already talk of two days of autonomy, although you have to figure out how to be reconciled the data plate with the above functionality.
Sul Samsung Technical characteristics of the face does not care costs, producing almost everything in the house. Then we find a SoC Snapdragon 820 that will, in some markets, the variant 8 Exynos Octa 8890 with 4 cores at 2.3GHz and 4 others with high energy efficiency with frequency 1.6Ghz. This detail makes us think how autonomy is one of the strengths of the new Aces made in Samsung.
The allocation of RAM , now obvious but nevertheless remarkable, is to 4GB , while the built-in storage should be 32GB and 64GB. In addition, Samsung is always looking for a camera that can claim the title of best in the market and therefore, even in this new version, has pushed hard on this front. The main sensor on the card drops to 12 megapixel (from 16 dell’S6), but with an aperture of f / 1.7 , which should ensure much brighter shots and consequently quality. aesthetic detail, but still important, the camera could finally get back inside the profile, going to eliminate the well-known little bulge pleasing to most of the public.
LG G5: always-on display and dual cameras
After a G4 quite similar to its predecessor, with LG G5 should again take the road of innovation. According to rumor, in fact, the new G-series model should see more than one important news. If initially the rumor spoke insistently of a second display, much like what has been seen on the latest high-end terminal (V10), the recent official announcement of the always-on functionality made to back off on the idea of the dual display.
With an animated gif on the official Facebook profile (at left), LG has hinted that next G5 will have a very similar function, again according to what we can tell, to the (potential) dell’always-on-display Samsung and that very closely resembles the Glance screen already available on Lumia terminals. a small portion of the screen will be always active, showing basic information like now , date and notifications.
The confirmation of the display Always On supports the use scenarios of OLED display, Despite some sources (such as Android Authority ) are convinced that LG has no display used with this technology. In this respect, a few days and we find out the truth.
La second change concerns camera, almost certainly double , judging by the leak appeared on the network, with a 16-megapixel main and a secondary form for additional features such as three-dimensional photos (if they still make sense) or , something far more likely, for the ‘ post-shoot processing effects such as focus adjustment . A concept very dear to the past with HTC Duo Camera. It also speaks to the fact that the secondary module can scan the retina, but it’s all to be confirmed.
On the technical side there should be no major differences compared to fellow competitor: Snapdragon 820 SoC accompanied by 3 or 4 GB of RAM, 32GB of storage and an unexceptional battery 2800mAh , all enclosed by a curved aluminum unibody. not insignificant detail, given the attention that LG put in the care of its flagship materials.
Finally, some people talk in network of a mysterious Magic Slots , which you should be able to connect hardware devices such as keyboards or audio amplifiers, or even a different battery from basic, but the reality is that no one knows anything for sure yet. Almost guaranteed, and certified pictures leaked, it is instead the connector USB Type-C , to which much of the market seems to be converting. Even in this case, as for the two Galaxy S7, the presentation is waiting for 21 February. LG G5 is almost certainly the most insidious terminal for two pair of Samsung axes.
Apple iPhone 5SE, for who does not abandon the tradition
The little late iPhone 5c, the colored version of the iPhone 5 and plasticky, has received wide market rather chilly. Despite what Apple tries again, most likely to give a worthy successor to the 5s model, which now actually holds the middle of the range. As anticipated at the beginning, in fact, Apple does not intend to leave the market of smartphones “mid cut” (4 ” for instance) but to do so he needs a next-generation hardware product with a traditional look.
A probable Photo Leak iPhone 5se appeared in late January. Via Macrumors
Because Apple will not be present in Barcelona, presenting 5se iPhone should take place during the event in March, normally dedicated to other devices such as tablets, Watch or notebook. It is therefore likely that this model will be also used to break up the annual presentation of the new iPhone, in order to distribute (more or less homogeneously) throughout the year the first source of revenue for the house of Cupertino.
Secondo the rumor, this new iPhone 5se should not differ much from the old 5s , and it is unclear whether or not Apple will lean to the curved glass on the typical edges instead of 6 and 6s. The screen size will still 4 inch and also probably the resolution will not change. However, what will gain a substantial upgrade will be the processor, which will be a handsome A9 processor along with co-M9 . The allocation of 1GB RAM will which, while seeming little, is actually the same quantity of the iPhone 6. And since Apple has apparently interest that also supports midrange its payment system Apple Pay , this 5se will have Touch ID and NFC , you will then aggiornatissimo connectivity on the front with a Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi 802.11ac and support to VoLTE . Even the battery may get a small upgrade, reaching the 1,624 mAh , while it would not present the 3DTouch, exclusive feature of his older brother 6s.
If, as portend the rumors, the 5se will complete the range of 6 and iPhone 6s, it is likely that for the first time we will see an iPhone technically updated to below 600 €, always going to take the place of ‘ replacing current in all respects: silver colors, gold, dark gray and – potentially – pink.
Microsoft focuses on the medium range with Lumia 650 … but it also speaks of 850
The real Redmond top range have already been issued, but the network does not make that succession voices that speak of the Lumia 850, the successor 830 now released in 2014.
very unlikely that Microsoft will present during MWC 2016, but have already been made several assumptions about the hardware you could be at the base. The most likely speak of a from 5.4-inch display with FullHD resolution , a Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 processor at 1.5GHz and 10 megapixel main module. But, we repeat, hardly we will see shortly and it is also possible not named Lumia 850 but 650XL.
The Lumia 650 is an upgrade instead of 550, the specifications of which seem to be virtually certain, as well as the price of 199 €. In this case the display is expected to rise from 4.7 inches to 5 inches of the 550 650, always with the same 720p resolution, a slight improvement for the processor, in this case Qualcomm Snapdragon 212, a quad -core 1.3 GHz. the rAM and storage are identical, respectively, 1GB and 8GB with the possibility of expansion via microSD. Interesting improved to 8-megapixel camera that passes, allowing you to shoot video in 1080p. The battery instead falls leggemente and stops at 2,000 mAh. Instead, what could be a more appreciated exchange rate is related to the design, with an elegant metal side frame.
Of course the midrange does not shine the eyes than the precious top of the range, but we know that Microsoft has several points to spend in this market, offering terminals that work very well at reasonable prices.
Huawei P9: One is not enough, better four
Huawei is the company that has so far managed to maintain more restraint on his next high-end terminal. Or rather, its next terminal. Just like the P8, P9 also be a real range, with the “base” model (P9), a cheaper version called P9 Lite, an inflated version named Max and a more powerful version on the technical side, that does not seem will be called P9 Premium as it was for the previous P8.
Di Certainly there is very little and it is almost certain that we will not see the new family Huawei at MWC, also considering the many recent announcements (last one on Mate 8 at CES in Las Vegas). Most likely we will see them instead during an exclusive event and subsequent to the Barcelona show. However, what is known is that of P9 mount, at least in the top version, a dual camera with 12 megapixel main sensor and correction functions of the focus and exposure post-click . This same version could also accommodate a larger screen of the standard P9, but still with a size smaller than the Max version.
Another interesting thing is that Huawei seems to have once again snubbed the resolution qHD because it was convinced it had a little more in relation to the energy demand. And on this front, we would like to marry the Huawei policy, whose only smartphone with qHD display could be at this point the Nexus 6P product for Google.
What might the other features? Weibo is about 6 GB of RAM, processor octa-core Kirin 950 supported by a Mali T880 GPU MP4 , all closed, along with a display of 5.2 inch , in a metal shell. P9 could be confirmed in every case as a very simple smartphone, built with quality materials and with a convincing, all offered at competitive prices (always keeping in mind the competition and the market segment), a policy which appears to be bringing good to Huawei.
There is also a HTC M10 horizon, but very little is known
There are great expectations for the new HTC M10, M9 successor who, despite having received several approvals, did not save the Taiwanese home from a still troubled economic situation. For this new HTC model has sought to considerably renew its top of the range, but on what fronts has focused this innovation is not entirely clear. The look is perhaps the point on which focuses more attention, being far too long like himself. And the pictures leaked in the network confirm the above.
on the processor, since the total flattening of competition on the Snapdragon 820 , you could go almost on the safe side, as well as on the allocation of Ram. Unlikely to be less than 3GB . The camera module may be from 23 megapixel , evolution of the 20-megapixel mounted sull’M9. The pass battery, according to rumor more reliable, by 2.840mAh M9 to 3.000mAh M10. Finally, it is expected, will say almost predictable, scanner fingerprint placed on the home button .
as for the exit, difficult HTC ripercorra what did last year (MWC), the more likely the organization – in the coming months – an event in itself, which would bring the phone out in the middle phase / end of spring. What is certain is that HTC has even more competitors this year and if you want to stay in the breach, then you will have to present something really convincing. Both Samsung and LG have important news in terms of functionality, Huawei, for all we know, will play the Card Dual Camera. HTC can not afford the luxury of presenting a terminal that is only a technical upgrade of the previous. We’ll see, certainly there that your piggy bank will not arrive unscathed at Easter, we swear on this.
