Annual Top Ten! 2016 Peak Technology Product Inventory | Ainuoji - 上海419贵族宝贝-上海后花园1314-上海品茶网-阿拉爱上海

Times are changing, and people's living habits and tastes are also changing. In my impression, the concept of "more than ten years ago" always stayed in the 1990s. However, the year 2007, when the original iPhone was released, was 10 years ago. In the past 10 years, the former overlords Nokia and Motorola have gone through several cycles.

Every year, there are many new scientific and technological products like stars embellishing the night sky, but there are always some products like fireflies in the dark, so bright and outstanding that they are destined to become the landmarks of that era. Even decades later, it will still look like a Nintendo console PlayStation、 Like Nokia mobile phones and Apple iPhones, they have become symbols of history in the long history. If you talk about 2016 many years later, you may think of the following products:

Mobile phone: the deceased, Samsung Galaxy Note7

After a one-year decadent period of Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, in 2016, there was a collective outbreak of Snapdragon 820/821, Kirin 950/955/960, and Samsung Exynos8890, and the annual black horse Snapdragon 650/652, comparable to the previous flagship, in the middle end, ushered in a wave of changes in the mobile phone market in 2016. Xiaomi has launched five flagship Xiaomi 5/5s/5s Plus/Xiaomi Note2/Xiaomi MIX within one year, Meizu has released more than 10 new machines, including Huawei vivo、OPPO、LG、 Asustek, ZTE, Hammer and many other manufacturers are also busy.

However, the position of "Machine King" still has to be reserved for the Samsung Galaxy Note7, which was withdrawn from the market due to the impact of the battery burning incident. Perhaps the best thing is to lose it. The configuration of Note7 is highly consistent with that of the S7 edge at the beginning of the year. Both are Snapdragon 820/Exynos8890+4G memory, batteries 3600mAh and 3500 mAh respectively, and full pixel dual core focusing IMX260 sensor. Although the Snapdragon 821 was not used because it was released earlier, the system and photography have improved to a certain extent. The upgraded S-pen, beautiful appearance and color matching, more photos, and IP68 protective fuselage are all the top level of the flagship in service.

Tablet: 9.7-inch iPad Pro

Since Apple's original iPad created the post PC era, there is still no tablet that can surpass the iPad in experience, and the category of tablet is basically the infighting between iPads. The 9.7-inch version of the iPad Pro is a masterpiece of the iPad, and it is an imperial title in the tablet category.

Although it is an updated product in March 2016, and its memory has shrunk from 4G of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro to 2G, it is still equipped with a dual core A9X with 2.26G main frequency (the overall performance has declined due to the halving of memory), and the GPU is still the strongest voice of today's mobile devices (the CPU has been exceeded by the A10 on the iPhone 7 launched in September). The huge margin brought by ferocious performance enables it to have good fluency performance even after 2 or 3 years.

After returning to the familiar 9.7-inch iPad Pro, its portability and price are much more user-friendly, while the iOS tablet application ecosystem is an insurmountable wall for Android and Windows platforms. even if Productivity oriented After the iPad Pro series is equipped with Apple Pen and keyboard, it still cannot be compared with the surface in terms of productivity. However, in terms of entertainment experience, competitors of 9.7-inch iPad Pro will not be born until March 2017 at the earliest (if Apple released a new iPad at that time in MWC).

Computer: Microsoft Surface Studio

The traditional computer/notebook field is also very busy this year. Although Intel's Generation 7 Core is still squeezing toothpaste every day, NVIDIA has updated the entire series of graphics cards at one go. The 1050/1060/1070/1080/new Titan/P5000/P6000 has not only left AMD far away, but also has made its predecessor products fly away. Manufacturers have also been pleased to start updating their products in succession in the middle of the year.

However, Microsoft Surface Studio, listed in the PC field, does not rely on performance, but on industrial design and use scenarios. The 28 inch 4500 × 3000 resolution PixelSense touch screen, the sixth generation i5/i7 processor+8G starting memory+1TB starting storage, and the graphics card is the 2G GTX 965M or 4G GTX 980M. These configurations are certainly not the best at the same price, but they are enough to deal with most productivity scenarios such as design and video.

The selling point of Surface Studio is the futuristic body design. It has a screen with ultra-high PPI, which can easily change the angle and "lie down". It has its own stylus and a specially designed and interactive sci-fi auxiliary control turntable accessory Surface Dial 。

UAV: Dajiang "Yu" Mavic Pro

2016 is still the year of the outbreak of unmanned aerial vehicles. In addition to DOBBY, Tencent Feiying, even Xiaomi and GoPro launched their own unmanned aerial vehicles. Later, Qualcomm launched their own unmanned aerial vehicle platform, which has made the market quite lively. However, Dajiang's hegemonic position did not waver, and its "Royal" Mavic Pro, which was launched unexpectedly in September, once again surprised the audience. It can be roughly understood that the Mavic Pro is to cram the performance and shooting ability of Genie 4 into the body of a water bottle, and the quasi professional aerial photography UAV gains portability that can be carried around for the first time.

The special folding fuselage, exquisite and beautiful industrial design, record setting ultra small three-axis anti shake platform, sports performance and shooting parameters almost equal to the spirit 4, and the price is cheaper than the spirit 4. For ordinary users near this expected price range, there is no reason to buy other products.

Intelligent Watch: Apple Watch 2

The first famous products in the smart watch field are the Pebble with an electronic ink screen and the Moto 360 with the first round dial. However, Apple Watch has really opened the market, popularized and monopolized the smart watch market, and its market share once exceeded 70%. The global smart watch market in 2016 was not so good. Lenovo Moto announced that it would suspend the research and development of smart watch business. The original giant Pebble had been acquired by fitbit, but the growth rate of the domestic smart watch market was 40%.

The Android Wear camp has more choices in appearance and higher appearance, but due to the direct impact of Google's withdrawal from the Chinese market, they are far less available and practical than Apple Watch. However, Ticwatch, Huami and other domestic manufacturers are far inferior to Apple Watch in terms of software ecology and popularity, which makes Apple monopoly The situation in the tablet field is happening again in the smart watch field.

Apple Watch 2, an update of Apple this year, is on the list without any doubt, but the appearance of the product has hardly changed except for getting thicker. Apple just squeezes toothpaste to upgrade the screen brightness, performance, battery and waterproof level and add GPS. However, it is undeniable that it is the best smart watch at present and the only choice for most users.

VR virtual reality: HTC vive

VR virtual reality and AR augmented reality are famous, but they have not been popularized in a large scale, and there are few products that can be called on the market. In 2016, Oculus Rift HTC vive、 Sony PlayStation VR was launched, and various domestic VR glasses were also listed in China. In the AR field, Magic Leap (which is used to recognize hovering gestures) got the C round and Hollens were officially delivered. After the middle of the year, Pokemon Go became popular and Lenovo Project Tango AR mobile phones were released. At the end of the year, Magic Leap admitted that promotional videos were fake and Alipay AR red packets were issued.

In the VR field, Sony PlayStation VR, the latest of the three giants, has the best sales at the lowest price, and the expected number of content will be quite large, but there is still a gap between the actual experience and Rift and live. Rift, which was launched earlier, was less exposed due to Oculus Touch remote control ticket skipping until December and other reasons. In 2016, HTC Vive was undoubtedly the best one among the three giants.

Vive was jointly developed by HTC and Valve and released in MVW2015 in March 2015. The retail version of the Bank of China sold for 6888 yuan. The machine is equipped with dual 1080 * 1200 resolution, 90Hz refresh rate AMOLED screens, including the controller Steambox host and four laser locators that need to be fixed and calibrated, and built-in gyroscopes, accelerometers and laser positioning sensors, which need to be used with high-performance hosts. The experience of HTC live can only be described as "good after use". The actual delay is low, the visual angle is large, and the somatosensory remote control tracking is accurate. It is a future device that is very suitable for games and education. Its biggest limitation is the strong cable connecting the helmet and the host, and the inability to go out of the scanning range of the laser locator.

AR/MR Augmented Reality: Microsoft Hololens

Microsoft Hololens was released at the Build 2015 developer conference in January 2015, and it was not sold until the beginning of 16 years, with a price of up to $3000. Unlike VR devices that re render the entire field of vision, AR/MR only superimposes digital interfaces on the real screen. In addition to special display technology, its core is SLAM real-time positioning and live map building technology through numerous cameras on the machine, which is used to fix digital rendered objects in real space.

The difference in rendering volume makes it unnecessary for Hololens to connect to the host. The 579g includes the screen Atom CPU（Atom x5-Z8100）、 Memory, battery, 6 cameras and many sensors run Windows Holography, a branch of win10.

According to the purpose, its endurance can reach 3-6 hours, without indoor and outdoor space control, and without cable involvement. In addition to the small display angle, a bit stiff operation mode, and the heavy helmet, it has a higher degree of completion and upper hand shock than Vive. Ten years later, I recalled the experience in 2015/2016 Microsoft People in Hololens may not remember the dual camera iPhone 7 Plus and the exploding Note7, but they will certainly remember HoloLens.

Intelligent driving: Tesla Model X

The field of intelligent driving includes many products, such as car cameras, rear-view mirrors, filters, etc., but the real technical problem is intelligent driving. From the DRIVE PX 2 ultimate processor released by NVIDIA at the beginning of the year, to the automatic driving equipment of Google, Baidu, BMW and other manufacturers that are still in the experimental stage, Now only Tesla has been mass producing products close to the level (although in 2016, the first tragedy of automatic driving led to the loss of users). Considering that the Faraday FF91 with automatic driving and full automatic parking function will be mass produced in 2018 at the earliest, the intelligent driving representative in 2016 should hand it over to Tesla's Model X.

Model X is Tesla's first SUV, and its press conference was held in February 2016. In fact, Model X was released in 2012 and was originally scheduled for mass production in 2014, but it has been skipped for more than two years since then. Model X has many fantastic configurations: panoramic windscreen extending to the driver's seat, gull wing doors that can be electrically opened and automatically sense the space on both sides, so as to control the opening order and angle, and the 0-100 acceleration only takes 3.1 seconds to achieve a violent acceleration performance (while 0-60 miles/hour is 2.9 seconds, and some domestic media mistakenly regard this figure as the 0-100 acceleration time), Tesla's "traditional" 17 inch central control large screen and endurance of more than 450km will certainly not fall. More importantly, of course, it has been sold for 961000 yuan in China.

Camera: Canon 5D4

Unlike mobile phones and computers, cameras are not updated every year. Canon's 5D series maintains the same four-year update cycle as the Olympic Games. In 2016, it was a great honor to "meet" Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji and other manufacturers to update their flagship products together. Even though Canon is also squeezing toothpaste, the Sony A99II and Nikon D5 released in the same year have all kinds of fans' support, but Canon is the first camera manufacturer after all, and we finally regard Canon 5D4 as the annual camera representative in 2016.

Canon 5D4 was released in August 2016, with an effective pixel of 30.4 million, 61 point focusing, and a maximum of 7 consecutive shots per second. It is equipped with a DIGIC6+processor, a 150000 pixel RGB+IR focusing module, and supports up to 4K30 frames and 1080P60 frames of video recording. The price of the Bank of China is 26599 yuan. The biggest features of 5D4 are dual pixel CMOS focusing system and full pixel dual core RAW optimization technology. The full core dual pixel focusing technology was first used on Canon 70D, and then Sony's IMX260 sensor on the mobile phone (the one on Samsung S7 edge) can significantly improve the focusing speed and success rate.

The dual core RAW optimization technology is mainly used for post-processing. Every RAW format photo taken by 5D4 records double information, which can provide the functions of image sense compensation, ghost reduction, and virtual offset. Although the focusing speed is slightly lower than that of A99II, and the dynamic range/DxOMark score is both low, it is better than that of balanced performance, rich lens groups and sufficient mass belief [showdown].

Audio equipment: 64 AUDIO tia Four é earplugs

In the audio field, the trend in 2016 is more and more headworn flat earphones (commonly known as "big ears"), which is marked by more and more flat earphones produced by American manufacturers and domestic HIFIMAN. Among them, the iSINE 10 and iSINE 20 launched by AUDEZE even plug the flat panel unit into portable earplugs. Another trend is related to the elimination of 3.5mm headphone interface for iPhone 7 and some mobile phones. Some headphone/earplug products have their own decoding chips. For example, the iSINE 10/20 earplugs mentioned above all have codecs and wires with lighting interface.

tia Fourté

As for the ceiling of traditional in ear high-end earplugs, it must be that 64 Audio launched the "three action iron and one action coil" earplug product Tia Four é at the end of November 2016. It uses its own high-frequency unit and tia technology, so that the monomer in the earphone can be transmitted from the large caliber acoustic channel without conduit, eliminating the common multi conduit structure.

A18

In addition, 64 Audio also launched the A18 and U18 (non customized version) with the largest number of unit earplugs in the world, and their number of units has grown to 18 (1 high, 1 medium high, 8 medium high, 8 low) 4-division. Of course, the price of this "ceiling" is also very impressive. A18 sells for 2999 dollars (about 20800 yuan), and tia Four é sells for 3599 dollars (about 25000 yuan).

In addition to 64 Audio, Empire Ears, which has also vigorously developed high-end customized earphones in recent years, has also launched new XR and Adel series products. XR series adds switches on the headphone panel, allowing users to switch between two different sound styles (different frequency division processing).

Zeus-XR Adel

As its name implies, Adel uses the Adel technology, that is, the accessory tympanic membrane is added to the earphone to absorb the harmful pneumatic pressure generated by the earplug, so as to provide a safer and better sound quality experience. The top model is Zeus XR Adel, which is equipped with XR switch and Adel technology. The body is a top earphone with 14 moving iron units, 8 frequency division and 5 conduits, and the price is more than 19000 yuan. It can be seen that this year's flagship earphones are not only trying to spell out units, but also developing their own black technology and playing methods.
