HTC Desire 820
Since HTC launched the new Desire series, the market response has been very good. This time in IFA 2014, HTC released Desire 820 (Note 4 5433), still has a beautiful and colorful appearance, a 5.5 inch 720P large screen and dual speakers, but this time the most concerned is its built-in 64 bit eight core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor.

Other configurations include a 13 million pixel main camera and an 8 million pixel front camera. The front camera provides a variety of self portrait modes. As the successor of Desire 816, 820 should have the same price as 816.

Nokia Lumia 830
Nokia's positioning of Lumia 830 is "low-cost flagship". This wp 8.1 mobile phone is equipped with a 5-inch 720P IPS screen. Of course, Nokia's happy screen technology is indispensable. The front continues to be 2.5D gorilla glass 3 and protected by a metal middle frame. The whole machine is of excellent workmanship, very Nokian; In terms of performance, the Snapdragon 4002200mAh battery is not removable, with built-in 16G storage and a maximum of 128G SD card.
The most impressive thing about 830 is that 10 million pixel optical anti shake lens (with Zeiss certification) and the second-generation wireless charging technology are inserted into the thin 8.5mm body. In addition, the color cover on the back can be changed at will. Nokia offers a choice of black, white, green and orange matte back covers.
Nokia Lumia 730/735
The selfie trend has finally reached the WP model, which is the new product of Nokia's main selfie: Lumia 730/735， The former is 3G/dual card version and the latter is LTE version.
The front camera of the 730 series has 5 million pixels and 24 mm wide angle, and Nokia has also created a selfie app for this camera (downloaded from Lumia App Store, including 530 and 630 devices without front lens), In the selfie APP, you can choose to use a front camera or a rear camera (the rear camera is 6.7 million pixels F/1.9 and has Zeiss certification).
The 730 series screen is a 4.7 inch AMOLED screen with screen pleasing technology, built-in Snapdragon 400+1G RAM, and the battery is 2200mAh non removable.
Of course, Nokia's wireless charging board (which can also be paired with NFC) is also released along with Lumia's device. After the wireless charging board is paired with the mobile phone through Bluetooth 4.0, it can display the power of the mobile phone through various effects of changing the lights around (Nokia can simply be a Bluetooth speaker supporting wireless charging).
Of course, there is also Microsoft's screen content sharing device HD-10, which can project the content on the phone screen to the connected TV after pairing with Lumia mobile phone with NFC.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4
Note 4, the successful successor of Note 3, was finally officially released in IFA 2014. As always, Note 4 provides two CPUs: Snapdragon 805 (SM-N910S, four core 2.7GHz Krait 450 architecture+Adreno 420) and Exynos 5433 (SM-N910C, four core [email protected] +4-core [email protected] +Mali T760, 20nm architecture, 64 bit, supports 8-core full open. Maybe this is the first 64 bit 8-core model in the world?), The former supports LTE Cat. 6 and the latter supports LTE Cat. 4.
Other configurations include 5.7-inch QHD Super AMOLED screen, 16 megapixel optical anti shake main lens+3.7 megapixel front, newly designed S-Pen, 3GB RAM, heart rate sensor, fast charging function, curved glass screen and impressive metal frame. However, the USB interface has degenerated from USB 3.0 in Note 3 to 2.0, causing many complaints.
Among the scores leaked earlier, the Note 4 with Exynos 5433 is brutal, and has become the most concerned mobile phone for mobile players.
Samsung Galaxy Note Edge
Edge is the brother model of Note 4. Most specifications, including processors, continue the strength of Note 4 and add curved screens, which is also the reason why it has not been exposed before. When Edge appeared, everyone was dazzled.
In addition to the front 2K screen, the gimmicky 160 pixel sub screen added on the side has brought the total screen resolution to 1600 × 2560. Not surprisingly, this will make Edge the mobile phone with the highest screen resolution on the market.
While releasing Edge, Samsung will also release the official SDK for the side of the screen, hoping that more apps can use that sub screen in the near future.
Whether Samsung is willing to admit it or not, in short, Edge has overshadowed Note 4 on the IFA this time, and Edge is indeed a truly surprising device in the Galaxy series for so long (mainly because there has not been too many leaks before). The only thing that people regret is that the side screen is only available on the right side of the fuselage, and the left side of the fuselage is still a common design.
Sony Xperia Z3
At first glance, the hardware specifications of Z3 are no different from those of Z2 - at least in terms of data: 8974AC, 3G RAM, 16G expandable, 5.2 inch 1080p screen, and 20.7 million pixel camera. The obvious difference is that the battery is 100 mAh smaller than that of Z2, which is 3100 mAh.
However, compared with Z2, Z3 has many imperceptible improvements: the improved frame design (rubber is used at the four corners) to reduce the damage when falling, the further improvement to the protection level of IP68, the highest available ISO of 12800, and the 25mm wide angle, as well as the linkage function of PS4. In short, after connecting the Z3 and PS4 to the same network, Z3 can be used as the display of PS4.
In terms of appearance, Z3 has canceled the purple fuselage of Z2 and added silver green and bronze. It is reported that domestic goods are only available in black, white and copper. Buyers who want silver green may choose the international version.
Sony Xperia Z3 Compact
Compared with Z3, Z3 Compact seems to have a higher voice in China. Sony named it Compact rather than Mini, which means that it emphasizes its concept of "small screen flagship". The hardware configuration is basically the same as Z3, but the screen shrinks to 4.6 inch 720p, RAM drops to 2G, and the battery shrinks to 2600 mA. When the frame is replaced with candy like plastic, the overall visual effect is much younger.
In terms of color matching, in addition to ordinary black and white, two special colors, peppermint green and sunset red, are also added, which are very beautiful. Unfortunately, Z3C will not land in mainland China as a licensed product, only international version.
In the above figure, the left 1 and 2 are Z3, the middle is E3, and the right 1 and 2 are Z3 Compact.
Sony Xperia E3:
As a low-end machine, E3 is aimed at the emerging LTE market. It is equipped with a 4.5 inch FWVGA screen, a 5 megapixel camera, 1G RAM and 4G expandable memory. The hardware specifications are only enough.
But for Sony, no matter what the price is, the appearance must be elegant, at least the color must be elegant, so the E3 body color has a special bronze color and lemon yellow, which looks very attractive (Sony Dafa is good) 。
Wearing equipment:
Asus ZenWatch
Compared with Samsung and Sony, ASUS smart watches are much more low-key. The 1.63-inch AMOLED screen has a resolution of 320 × 320, built-in 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 processor and 512MB RAM, running the mainstream Android Wear system, built-in 4G storage and supporting IP55 level waterproof and dust-proof. It will officially arrive at the end of this year at a price of 199 euros (equivalent to 1580 yuan).
LG G Watch R
G Watch R is an upgraded model of G Watch previously released by LG. The R in the name stands for a round dial. It is well made and well designed, and can be rated as one of the most handsome smart watches on the market today.
R is equipped with a 1.3-inch round POLED screen (which can be understood as "plastic OLED", and uses the same technology as the previous screen on G Flex), with a resolution of 320 × 320, built-in Snapdragon 400 processor and 512MB RAM. There is also a heart rate sensor at the bottom of the body, and R also has IP67 protection capability.
In addition, R offers leather strap and various surface designs.
Samsung Gear S
The Gear S released this time can actually be regarded as a mobile phone, because the Gear S can be inserted into the NanoSIM to use 3G or 4G, and the Wi Fi Bluetooth GPS, USB and heart rate sensor are also available. It can also connect to the Bluetooth headset to make calls. If you want, you can also use the QWERTY full keyboard to input text on the two inch 480 × 360 curved Super AMOLED screen, Or put your music in the built-in 4G memory to enjoy it at any time.
However, unlike many wearable devices, Gear S runs on Tizen OS, which can be controlled by gesture or voice. To ensure the smooth operation of the system, Samsung has inserted a 1GHz dual core CPU and 512MB RAM into the Gear S, which sounds good, but it also makes the Gear S the largest smart watch on the market.
At the same time, Samsung also released the official Bluetooth headset with Gear S: Gear Circle， The two earplugs can be stuck together during storage through the built-in magnet.
Samsung Gear VR
Gear VR is a virtual reality device released by Samsung this time. At present, it can only be used with Note 4. The built-in series of sensors and control buttons are intended to bring users into a full 3D world.
At present, there is not much VR related content. Samsung has cooperated with many content providers and hopes to provide more available 3D content for VR in the future. As far as the preliminary on-site experience is concerned, VR has a good effect, but if the follow-up content can not keep up, VR is a pure decoration.
Sony SmartWatch 3
As you can see from the name, SmartWatch 3 is the third generation product of Sony series. Unlike Gear S, SmartWatch 3 is a serious Android Wear device, and it is made by Sony. Naturally, built-in Sony APP such as WALKMAN is indispensable.
SmartWatch 3 has built-in GPS, 4G memory, Bluetooth NFC、 1.6 inch semi reflective TFT LCD screen (resolution 320 × 320), 1.2GHz quad core processor and 512MB RAM. The redesigned appearance is younger and more beautiful than the previous generation, and there are a variety of watchbands to choose from.
Of course, there is also the protection performance of IP68.
Sony SmartBand Talk
Compared with the previous generation SmartBand, SmartBand Talk adds a 1.4 inch e-ink screen and altitude sensor, and can even answer and make calls.
Other functions include IP68 level waterproof and dust-proof, automatic sleep monitoring, and control of music playback on the phone. Of course, there are also various colors of wrist straps to choose from.
Flat plate:
Asus MeMO Pad 7
This 8.3 mm thick ultra-thin tablet weighs only 269g, which is quite light even for a 7-inch tablet. In terms of performance, MeMO Pad 7 uses a combination of four core Intel Atom Z3560+Power VR G6430+2G RAM, runs Asus ZenUI based on Android 4.4, and has a 5 megapixel camera embedded in the back, There are 16G and 32G memory available, which can be expanded by inserting SD card.
The screen is a 7-inch WUXGA (1920 × 1200) IPS screen, and ASUS also provides consumers with Wi Fi and LTE versions to choose from.
Lenovo Tab S8
S8 is a tablet computer launched by Lenovo, which is equipped with an 8-inch 1920 × 1200 screen, 8 million pixels+1.6 million pixels front, and the performance is a combination of Intel Atom Z3745+2G RAM. Running Android 4.4, it will support 64 bit computing after upgrading to Android L, The WI-FI version will cost $200 (1228 yuan), and there will also be LTE supported versions. Both versions will have 16G expandable memory, a built-in 4290 mAh battery and a USB 3.0 interface.
Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact
First of all, no matter whether this tablet is good or not, this is probably the longest tablet name ever. It's boring. Is it to teach users the rhythm of learning English?
Z3 Tablet Compact is Sony's first foray into the medium-sized tablet market. The 8-inch IPS screen resolution is 1920 × 1200, the performance is a combination of 8974AC+3G RAM, and the camera is only 8 million pixels to fool users. The highlight of this tablet is not its performance, but its ultra-thin (6.4 mm) and ultra lightweight (270 g) Its body design and IP68 level protection, of course, also need the linkage function with the PS4.
Although Z3 Tablet Compact abandons the previous double glass design of Xperia Tablet Z and adopts a matte back, the new design has greatly improved the anti fouling ability, which is a good thing.
Other equipment:
Sony QX1 QX30：
Sony's QX series lens type digital cameras have gained unprecedented attention and success, so Sony took advantage of the hot iron to change its own life and brought the QX1, which supports the 30x light variable QX30 and the replaceable E-bayonet lens, to us. First, we put the QX30 aside, because this product has no meaning other than long, thick and black, and the audience is most interested in QX1.
QX1 looks like the "elite version" made by removing some components from the α 5000 micro unit released by Sony before, because QX1 has the same 2010 megapixel 3:2 APS-C sensor as the α 5000, Sony's own Bionz X image engine, and even has a built-in flash, which looks like a very dark technology lens. After pairing with the phone through NFC, it will start Wi Fi to connect with the phone, After connection, you can take pictures and control the QX1 through the APP on your mobile phone, which is a magic weapon.
In terms of pricing, QX1 seems very conscientious this time. The price of the body is only 399 dollars (equivalent to 2450 yuan), and the price of the set with 16-50mm lens is 499 dollars (equivalent to 3064 yuan).
The above figure shows QX30, which supports 30x optical zoom.
