Electronics&Components Fair, also known as Hong Kong Electronic Products and Parts Trade Fair, was also held at the same time as Asia's largest mobile and wireless products exhibition, making the products and manufacturers on display quite rich. Of course, the more important thing is to directly form transactions, but for us, it is interesting to see many cutting-edge technologies and new engineering machines.
Compared with the Hong Kong Spring Electronic Exhibition previously introduced, this exhibition is more commercial, so the products on display may not be new enough. Most of them show off the skills and technologies of manufacturers. In addition, there are more booths refused to shoot this time, which is also a pity. Anyway, it's still a quick glance.
Keyboard products should belong to the category of peripherals, which is also a major category of the exhibition. And with the rise of Android tablet and Windows tablet, this one is still a bit energetic, of course, more still improve the previous set of iPad, although new, but it seems lack of sincerity.
This is the "static capacitance" keyboard launched by Funlen. I don't like its shape design and feel.
This keyboard is a bit interesting. It contains all the mechanical shafts on the upper cover. It is unclear whether there is a corresponding waterproof design or special design. In the previous Computex Taipei, there were corresponding manufacturers that launched similar products.
The more common rainbow keycaps and word through keycaps.
Interesting folding keyboard and quite common protective sleeve. It seems that these two products have not attracted many people, but they are still the main products of most booths. It seems that the demand is still large, but it seems that no one can find a new direction.
This manufacturer is very interesting. It seems that it is a major storage product manufacturer. The biggest highlight of this manufacturer is that you can see from the figure. It is a large number of color choices. As a pigment factory, oh, as a storage firmware manufacturer, its color is very special. In addition, it displays a large number of anti loss devices in different shapes and colors, which are simple to use and quite interesting.
Smart watches are quite popular this year, not only because of the explosion of Apple Watch, but also because of the Android Wear launched by Google and the corresponding products launched by major manufacturers to promote the market. Of course, the same as before, as a small manufacturer, this exhibition is almost all samsung, apple, sony and other imitations, and there is not much to pay attention to.
In fact, the main reason for the lack of novelty of smart watches at present is that their own technical capabilities are limited, and they can not flexibly customize, optimize, select and use Android or even Android Wear. In addition, their ID design and design purpose are not clear, but just follow the trend.
Of course, not all manufacturers are incompetent. As shown in the figure above, it is a smart watch at the stage of engineering machine design. It uses a contact charging interface and has a standby time of about five days. In terms of wear and appearance design, it mainly focuses on watch functions. The most interesting thing is that its dial is transparent, which can display time constantly and realize intelligent functions. In addition, the watch and smart part are two PCBs (which may be incorrectly described), so even if the power is exhausted, the smart function cannot be used, but the time display will not be affected.
In fact, there is a particularly interesting phenomenon this year. Most of the manufacturers that exhibit tablet products will display Intel in their own booths, which should benefit from Intel's CTE plan. Of course, the most friendly booth is also Intel's. Many technical presentations and product exhibitions are quite interesting. The picture above is a Windows tablet that gives me a very Lumia feel. This Lumia style is launched by Chinese local manufacturers.
Among many tablet products, there is only one mobile phone product on the booth, which seems to be quite special. This new machine of a brand designed and produced by OEM will use Intel's Mooerfield processor and XMM7260 generations, 5.5 inch 720P screen, 3900mAh battery and support dual 4G. Although the appearance design is not very prominent, its endurance performance and price will be very touching from all aspects.
It also introduced some features or black technology of Intel processor in Android system. For example, it supports various small languages. As shown in the figure above, it can support the input of more than 20 small languages in India. This localization and pertinence is a major focus and difficult to achieve. In addition, there is dual window support. Although this function appeared early, it seems that Intel is not as good as Intel in supporting all kinds of applications and operating experience.
As for the all-in-one machine that uses the Android system but is not equipped with a touch screen, I really don't know how to evaluate it.
It also exhibited its own wireless charging technology, which was also brilliant in Computex before. At present, some products have been built in, but have not been retailed yet. However, the supporting charging protective sleeve has been mass produced, and the Samsung flat panel case above uses this technology.
In addition, this technology requires less volume, and earphones and other products can also be used perfectly. Think about how easy it would be if this technology was widely used and mobile phones, watches and the like could be recharged by leaving them on the table at home.
The core M of Intel has attracted my attention and research most recently. This SoC officially announced in Computex, until Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro, the first product, appeared a few days ago, which really made people anxious. This processor, which uses a 14nm process, has strong enough performance and more importantly, low power consumption. The legendary fanless design can already be made.
Although I think the price of Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro using Core M is more than 8000 lower than I expected, it is still a relatively noble pricing and positioning. Of course, the low price will definitely meet the demand. This two in one computer launched by Yidao is still in the state of engineering machine. The price will be less than 3000 yuan, which should be regarded as the universal price?
What's more, it will also launch a Windows tablet with a retail price of 399 yuan. Although the screen size and resolution are slightly inferior, it supports video output, which is a fan of pure articles for office use. It said that it would focus on South American and African markets.
It's hard for me to understand that the price of 399 can be achieved. The manufacturer also said that the profit of this price is still considerable, which is too high-tech. Of course, there are Intel's Ture Key solution and a set of solutions such as processors. Such products are possible. Although they are not on your shopping list for most audiences, they are very sentimental for some regions, whether as schoolbag computers or general forms.
Compared with the Hong Kong Electronics Show in spring and autumn, Electronics&Components Fair has a very strong business flavor, and the products on display also tend to prototype and engineering machines. This time, most of the major manufacturers came from mainland China. Compared with the previous Spring Electronics Show, I felt more energetic and creative. This may be caused by more commercial exhibitions, but it also represents a trend. Without innovation and strength, you can't go far.
From tomorrow, it will also be the Hong Kong Autumn Electronics Exhibition, which will be more inclined to display consumer electronics and actual products, and will be more interesting. If you are interested, you can visit it.
