    If you want to be prepared, connected, enlightened, nurtured and located in your adventures, these are the 5 gadgets that will give you the best service.


    I will present to you 5 gadgets of the last I've tried (well almost all except the Petzl NAO + front). They are the ones that have most impressed me.


    [1] Nutribullet blender: nutrition shots in one minute.

    A blender specially designed for those who need nutrition to be an important part of their training (such as trail runners, cyclists, cross-country skiers, etc.). The Nutribullet has a special blade design that at 20,000 revolutions crushes in just 30 seconds, fresh fruits and vegetables, including stems, seeds and nuts. The blades break the cell walls of fibrous plant foods, thus releasing all the vitamins and minerals they contain. In this way, the food keeps its nutritional value intact and our organism can absorb it more easily. I tried this blender making a spinach, pear, persimmon persimmon, raspberries, blueberries, goji berries, flax seeds and water shake. In less than a minute I took a very tasty "detox", even at room temperature, very soft, and that satiated me hungry and thirsty instantly.

    [2] CAT S60 mobile: The strongest mobile in Outdoor.

    I have tested this terminal and I can assure that it resists the unspeakable. Blows, vibrations and falls from almost 2 meters. The CAT S60 is hermetic and resistant to dust, snow and submersible up to 5 meters. One of the functions that differentiate it from the rest is its thermal camera that allows to take amazing images in the middle of the night. Among its most important applications are the Location Alert, which sends distress messages with location in case of emergency; and the App Toolbox, where you can find specialized applications such as altimeter, Climbing Grades Table for climbers, MapMyRide for cyclists or Sail Racer or Boat Coach for sailors. Recommended RRP of € 769.

    [3] Radio Sangean MMR-88: The radio receiver of the base camp.

    Built to withstand what is needed in any adventure, this radio has seven weather channels through the NOAA band, which translates into warnings, forecasts and alerts, in addition to 19 random pre-defined stations (AM / FM mixed). It has indefinite autonomy because it can be loaded with crank and dynamo, charged alone and charged by USB. It also has a LED flashlight adjustable to 3 intensities, with SOS signal function. To which it is necessary to add automatic search of transmitters; automatic disconnection at 90 minutes of activity, clock, LED charging indicator and headphone output, in addition to offering emergency acoustic warnings. In the MMR-88 you can also listen to conventional radio. If the programming is not good it can be attached to any multimedia player and play the music that the adventurers want. RRP: 99 euros.

    [4] Petzl NAO + Flashlight: The smart front.

    This headlamp can be programmable through an application and can be consulted in real time on the mobile thanks to the bluetooth connection. This way you can better manage the autonomy of the flashlight and adapt its use to the conditions. The application also has predefined profiles or can be customized for the needs of the user. As if that were not enough, the NAO + incorporates the Reactive Lighting technology through which it adapts the lighting power to the ambient luminosity, thus saving energy. With this technology one can do a night trekking without being worried about how much autonomy it has. The flashlight can give a power of 750 lumens.

    [5] GPS onTracks: the browser that warns before being consulted.

    When you are in the middle of a Mountain Bike or trail running route and you come to an intersection where you are not sure of the route to follow, you should check the GPS or the map. OnTracks warns through vibrations and light signals of the way to go before reaching the intersection, thus preventing the activity from being interrupted. OnTracks are two wristbands that are worn in both hands and have a screen for light signal and vibration device, connected to the mobile. When it is necessary to turn to the right it vibrates and the right bracelet is illuminated and vice versa.

    Today we have excellent news for those who use Pixel 2 and Pixel 2XL phones. The new Android 8.1 Oreo update will allow you to use the cameras to the fullest, accessing the processing of images in HDR + format.


    The process works as follows: Once the software update is installed, the Pixel Visual Core photo optimization chip will be activated, working in parallel with Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, with which the image processing will be faster and smoother.

    The result of this improvement will be sharper photographs, better resolution and with a considerable reduction of noise, in addition to being able to load 3D images up to five times better.

    This in itself is already a good news, but the news does not end here, because the update will allow third parties to make use of Google cameras through other apps.

    We must remember that the camera of Google Pixel 2 has been ranked as the best of mobile devices, and to be able to take more advantage of it and install it on other devices will undoubtedly attract many more customers, especially in this era where images play a transcendental role in the communication process.

    Step by Step

    According to what the giant Google has announced, Android 8.1 Oreo will be in the market in the coming weeks only for its developers. Those who want to use Google cameras through an app will have to wait a little longer, however, it is a fact that will be in the market.

    Later it is foreseen that the latest update can also be made in the first generation equipment of Pixel mobile devices, and in some Nexus models.

    Already some devices work with Android 8.0, and improvements with the 8.1 could even make other brands, such as Samsung, One Plus and LG, join the update, not to fall behind in the competition of mobile devices.

    It will have even more

    Although Google has not revealed more details about the new operating system for mobile devices, we can say that it still has more:

    • Own API: Android 8.1 Oreo is expected to have its own API level, which means considerable internal improvements and greater availability of APIs. In addition, it is estimated to include improvements in battery and performance.
    • Larger icons: One of the innovations of the successor of the 8.0 update is that there are changes in the size of its icons. An information has been leaked that ensures that the icons would be larger.
    • New emojis: The new version would not be complete if you do not include new emojis, which Android has already accustomed us.
    • Edition of screenshots: Another feature that the version would have is the ability to edit screenshots directly from it. This way you would avoid having to save the capture and go to the gallery to make the arrangements. If so, Google would be ahead of other companies that are already working on this improvement.
    • More commands: A novelty of more commands for Bisto headphones is expected. Its release to the market would be another great success of the giant Google.

    We just have to wait for Google to give the green light to his new update to start enjoying it. Although we are sure that, when you are in the galleries, your developers will start working on a new one to continue to excel in the technology market.

    Microsoft y Samsung anunciaron oficialmente hoy los auriculares Odyssey Windows VR, colocándolos como la opción "premium" entre los auriculares VR de Windows, con una gama de funciones que no se encuentran en los otros auriculares y el precio más alto. El auricular ya está disponible para preordenar hoy y se lanzará el 6 de noviembre (algunas semanas después del resto de los audífonos VR de Windows).


    Tengo que ir a las manos con los auriculares Samsung Odyssey durante un evento hoy en el centro de desarrolladores de Microsoft en San Francisco. Primero, un resumen rápido de las características que Odyssey promociona con respecto a los otros auriculares con Windows VR:

    • Mayor resolución: 1,440 x 1,600 vs. 1,440 x 1,440 (por ojo)
    • Pantalla de mayor rendimiento: OLED vs. LCD
    • Campo de visión más amplio: 110 grados vs. ~ 95
    • Audio integrado: audífonos AKG + botones de volumen vs. "traiga el suyo"
    • Ajuste de hardware IPD
    Suena genial en el papel, y hay algunas ventajas en el uso real, pero los beneficios pueden no ser tan claros como parecen.

    Ergonomía

    Al intentar probar los auriculares por mí mismo, lo primero que encontré fue que la ergonomía no estaba del todo de acuerdo con mi cabeza. Dado que la cabeza de todos es diferente, es posible que el dispositivo se adapte bien para más personas y solo soy un valor atípico, sin embargo, no puedo decir que haya tenido problemas similares con otros auriculares en el mercado, como el Rift, Vive, o PSVR, en términos de ajuste.

    El problema, en mi experiencia, fue encontrar la trifecta: el lugar correcto para el dispositivo en mi cabeza donde mis ojos estaban en el punto óptimo de las lentes, los auriculares estaban en la posición ideal en mis oídos, y el auricular estaba en un lugar cómodo en mi cabeza. Parecía que solo podía conseguir dos de los tres en el lugar correcto en cualquier momento.

    Como quiero la experiencia visual más nítida, opté por hacer que el punto ideal de las lentes (donde la imagen es más nítida) sea mi principal prioridad. Jugueteé con los auriculares para que todo salga bien, mientras encontraba un lugar cómodo para asegurarme de que permanecería en su lugar. Una vez que lo hice, sin embargo, descubrí que los auriculares no se extendían lo suficiente como para descansar cómodamente en mi oreja. Para dar cuenta de eso, tiré de la parte posterior de la montura de cabeza hacia abajo en la parte posterior de mi cabeza para colocar los auriculares en el lugar correcto, pero eso causó que la carcasa de la pantalla se inclinara hacia atrás, sacando mis ojos del punto ideal. e introdujo mucha visibilidad del mundo exterior a través del espacio ahora ampliado entre mis mejillas y el recinto de la pantalla.

    No puedo decir con total certeza, después de haber pasado solo 15 minutos más o menos con los auriculares, pero el problema parecía deberse en gran parte a la falta de una bisagra entre el soporte de la cabeza y el recinto de la pantalla; si hubiera uno, podría inclinar la carcasa de la pantalla para cerrar esa desagradable brecha y volver a mirar el punto óptimo (como la manera en que la caja de la pantalla Rift puede girar alrededor de los brazos de la montura de la cabeza para permanecer al ras con el Cara. Curiosamente, la falta de bisagra también significa que la carcasa de la pantalla Odyssey no se puede voltear como los demás auriculares con Windows VR, lo que es una pena.

    En el corto tiempo que comparé los auriculares, en realidad descubrí que me gustaba más la ergonomía de los demás auriculares con Windows VR; las lentes parecían alinearse más fácilmente con mis ojos, y la bisagra y la espuma de cada una de ellas creaban un gran sello entre el recinto de la pantalla y mi cara, bloqueando casi toda la luz y la vista del mundo exterior. El Odyssey es bastante ligero, pero parece un poco más grande que los auriculares con Windows VR, y posiblemente un poco más pesado también (o podría ser que el tamaño más grande significa un mayor apalancamiento a medida que el peso del auricular actúa sobre mi cabeza).

    Pantalla y lentes

    Dicho esto, una vez que tuve el Odyssey en forma lo mejor que pude (ajustando cuidadosamente para lo que parecía un punto dulce bastante pequeño) fue inmediatamente evidente que tenía un campo de visión más amplio que los otros auriculares con Windows VR; el tamaño de la vista se sentía bastante cerca de Rift y Vive. Si bien todos los auriculares con Windows VR usan lentes Fresnel, los de Samsung en particular son únicos (no esféricos).

    El ajuste de IPD del hardware (cambiado con un pequeño dial en la parte inferior de los auriculares) me permitió marcar aún más el punto óptimo. Mi IPD está cerca del promedio (~ 63 mm); aquellos más lejos del promedio probablemente va a valorar aún más el ajuste de IPD; el Odyssey es hasta ahora el único auricular con Windows VR que ofrece ese ajuste, por lo que si está buscando uno en el mercado, tenga en cuenta ese hecho atentamente.

    La pantalla (1.440 x 1.600 por ojo, OLED) ofrece una imagen notablemente más nítida, tanto en comparación con los otros auriculares con Windows VR (1.440 x 1.440, LCD) como con Rift y Vive (ambos con 1.080 x 1.200, OLED). De acuerdo, todavía podía ver píxeles individuales, y el efecto pantalla-puerta (el espacio entre los píxeles) era más pronunciado de lo que habría esperado dada la resolución, muy posiblemente debido a la disposición de subpíxeles PenTile única de Samsung. El contraste parecía mejor entre la pantalla OLED de la Odyssey y la pantalla LCD de los otros auriculares con Windows VR, aunque me gustaría pasar más tiempo con los auriculares para sentir aún más.

    Controladores

    Mientras que todos los demás auriculares con Windows VR ofrecen los mismos controladores de movimiento, Samsung ha creado su propia (leve) variación. La diferencia es sutil, pero la ergonomía es mejor; una curva en el mango posiciona el thumbstick en un lugar más cómodo para el pulgar, lo cual es bueno porque ya he dicho anteriormente de los controladores de movimiento Windows VR estándar que ni el trackpad ni el thumbpad parecían estar en el lugar correcto. Además del ligero cambio ergonómico, los controladores parecen ser completamente idénticos en función y rendimiento (y en ese sentido, puede leer nuestra vista previa reciente aquí).

    Aquí hay un pensamiento sobre los controladores de movimiento VR de Windows en general (tanto la versión de Samsung como la versión estándar): aunque parecen funcionar bien para un uso ocasional, todavía tienden a "saltar" un poco para mi gusto. Para muchos juegos y experiencia, probablemente no importará mucho, pero para el modo multijugador competitivo, especialmente en niveles altos, los jugadores pueden encontrar esos saltos ocasionales frustrantes (como lo haría alguien si un controlador de Xbox se perdiera ocasionalmente un tirón de disparo clave durante juego competitivo de FPS). Obviamente no he tenido la oportunidad de hacer pruebas concluyentes, pero si el seguimiento del controlador Rive y Vive tiene una precisión del 99.9%, el seguimiento de Windows VR, en mi tiempo, se sintió más cerca del 98%. Eso puede sonar bien, pero la mayoría de las formas de entrada deben ser consistentes al 99.9% para no frustrar a los usuarios.

    Por las razones mencionadas anteriormente, la Odyssey puede no ser el ganador claro y obvio en todas las categorías entre los audífonos Windows VR, pero más allá de algunas críticas, la conveniencia del audio integrado y la pantalla de mayor rendimiento son las principales razones por las que Odyssey es especialmente adecuada para representan el 'high-end' de los auriculares con Windows VR. La buena noticia para aquellos que buscan la mejor inversión por su dinero es que incluso los menos costosos audífonos Windows VR tienen algunas consideraciones que valen la pena junto a la Odyssey.

    In recent years, technological advances have been a challenge for countless classic industries. Most have tried-or are still trying-to turn the challenge into an opportunity, taking advantage of new developments to renew the brio of their business. But sometimes, the disruptive forces end up overflowing the adaptation capacities of the traditional industry, condemning it to a progressive loss of relevance.


    This lugubrious vision has been hovering over the years for the traditional watchmaker's business. The emergence of Apple in the universe of smartwatches or smart watches with the launch of Apple Watch, in September 2014, represented the necessary impetus for devices in which companies such as Samsung or Motorola already worked. Since then, the rising trend of smart watches has been crossed with the loss of strength of the traditional industry, giving rise to the most pessimistic theories.

    A pessimism that has left a deep impression on the parquet. Since the end of 2013, the US watch manufacturer Fossil has seen more than 80% of its value disappear, while Switzerland's Swatch has suffered losses of over 40%. Even groups with a more diversified business have received in their quotes the impact of the crisis of the traditional clock. Thus, the Japanese Citizen Watch falls about 20% in the last four years, while Japan's Seiko and Swiss Richemont (owner of Cartier) fall more than 13%.

    The drop in exports of Swiss watches, which accumulate more than two years down, to reach levels of 2011, is the most significant reflection of the challenge facing the sector. Because the situation is not better for manufacturers in other regions. The Japanese bank Nomura accompanies, almost without exception, its reports on the traditional Japanese watchmakers of the warning that "the deceleration of the external demand and the weak movements of the prices have created unfavorable business conditions for the watch industry".

    This vision contrasts with that of the smart watch universe, where sales soared in 2015 by more than 350%, according to data from Strategy Analytics. It can be said that the Apple Watch was the spark that the smartwatch industry needed to start gaining prominence. And that despite the fact that Apple's device was, in its beginnings, something like the ugly duckling within the apple family. It did not fulfill the forecasts, it did not contribute almost any new element and, in general, it went unnoticed before the general opinion. The most faithful to the brand did wear it on their wrists, but their numbers were poor.

    That is why the Cupertino army got down to work and in the last Apple Event, last September, they took advantage of the spotlights of the presentation of the iPhone 7 to unveil the second generation of the smart watch. Lower price, new features and a design less focused on sports and sales began to rise.

    Only in the last quarter of the year, according to data from Strategy Analytics, Apple placed more than five million watches on the market. The figure, in the global computation of the year 2016, touched the 12 million thanks to that strong impulse of the winter period.

    "The demand for the new Apple Watch has been surprisingly strong during the Christmas holidays," says Cliff Raskind, an analyst at the American firm. Not in vain, the year 2016 has been the best for the sector of smart watches, with 21.1 million units dispatched. The figures surpassed the year 2015, although the increase in sales has barely exceeded 1%.

    In any case, it is clear that since the middle of last year the industry is experiencing a rebound. "There are signs of recovery, although there are still some barriers to overcome," says Raskind.

    In his words there is a veiled criticism of the two most powerful manufacturers: Apple and Samsung. The North American company, which has not completely abandoned its focus on functionalities related to health and sports, "has to improve in the manufacture of sensors" to measure this type of activity, according to Raskind. Similarly, Samsung must "improve their prices and introduce significant improvements."

    The South Korean giant put on the market at the end of 2016 its latest device, the Gear S3. In its first hours in South Korea it did manage to meet the forecasts, with a sales volume of around 2,500 units dispatched every hour. The effervescence of those early bars, however, soon relaxed. The reason must be sought in its price: the normal is to find it in the environment of 400 euros.

    Market dominance

    The two giants of the world of telephony have transferred their domain to the terrain of smartwatches. Apple closed the year 2016 with a market share of 55%, while Samsung was left with a modest 11.5%. Between both, in any case, dominate a third of sales worldwide.

    Among those figures highlights how the American firm has been gaining ground as the year progressed. In the first quarter of its fiscal year 2017, which corresponds to the last three months of 2016, Apple took a market share close to 80%. That, at the most important sales peak of the year, is an important milestone in the industry.

    The rest of the market players have a minor relevance, as is the case of Huawei. The Asian firm, firmly established in the second position in the smartphone market in Spain, is showing itself as an alternative to the two colossi thanks to a very traditional line.

    The appearance of the Shenzhen company models have a classic cut and imitate the appearance of traditional watches, but then incorporate technological details. It is true that they are high-end devices and are not available to all pockets, so Huawei will still have to work to beat, for example, Fitbit.

    Attempt to adapt

    To cope with these new trends in the industry, traditional watchmakers have not hesitated to enter this same path. For example, the prestigious brand TAG Heuer, of the company LVMH, presented at the end of 2015 its first smart watch, with the collaboration of Google and Intel.

    One of the most active in this field has been Fossil. The US manufacturer made significant investments at the end of 2015 to enter the smartwatch market. His bet, although applauded from various areas, has not managed to stop the bleeding suffered by the company on the stock market.

    On the contrary, its latest results, presented on February 15, were welcomed with a collapse of its quotation close to 15%. Among other reasons, analysts have alleged the fall in margins that have sponsored their smart watches, which also have not managed to compensate with a considerable volume of sales.

    Many experts wonder if the sector is prepared to compete in this field with technology giants such as Apple or Samsung. Investment in R & D by Swiss watchmakers was cut in half between 2003 and 2014, according to the book When corporatism leads to corporate governance failure. The case of the Swiss watch industry, written by Isabelle Schluep Campo and Philipp Aerni.

    However, the ailments of the watch industry are far from limited to the competition of smartwatch. In fact, in a recent study by Deloitte, only 21% of the sector managers surveyed pointed to the smart watch as the main risk to their business.

    From this same study another data stands out. 82% of executives are pessimistic about the perspectives of the sector. This black panorama would be propitiated, beyond by the new competition, by the fall of the sales in an essential market for the sector as the Asian.


    A demand to the downside

    It is estimated that more than half of the Swiss watches - which account for 57% of the world market according to Vontobel - are destined for Hong Kong, China and Japan, markets that have experienced in recent years a remarkable decrease in demand. The deceleration of these economies has coincided also with other factors that have played against the demand for luxury watches, the fundamental leg of the business.

    From Vontobel Bank point out the anti-corruption campaign launched by the Chinese authorities, which has discouraged the consumption of luxurious ornaments, and the reduction of travel of Chinese citizens. In this last sense, the attacks that Europe has suffered, which have reduced the number of Asian tourists are also mentioned by various experts as one of the keys to the fall in sales.

    All this accumulation of problems reached the watch industry with its guard down. After a few years of vertiginous growth of sales between 2010 and 2013, encouraged by the high Chinese demand, which fostered very ambitious expectations, the sector hit its head in 2014 with a stagnation of business that contracted since the second half of 2015

    At that time, the sector encountered high levels of production that resulted in a striking increase in inventories. The most paradigmatic case is that of Swatch, which has seen the value of its watches grow in stock at almost 50% of its equity value, compared to 30% when it was only a decade ago. "These high inventories link a large amount of capital, generate high logistics costs, run risks of obsolescence and are a clear sign that the company has a problem on the sales side," said Schluep Campo and Aerni.

    However, the sector could be starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. "We believe that the worst has been left behind", indicate in this line the analysts of Vontobel, who nevertheless warn that a recovery in sales, foreseeable in 2017, would be limited.

    In any case, this perspective has been enough for the market, fueled by the lower pessimism around the Chinese economy, to bet on the recovery of the sector. Since last summer, the actions of Swatch and Richemont have experienced comebacks in the environment of 40%, which make up their punishment of recent years.

    Investors thus show their confidence that the deterioration of the watchmaking business could be close to reversing. In addition, some measures of the major manufacturers have managed to improve their situation, through job cuts, cost containment and, to a large extent, price reduction. Thus, for example, the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry, highlighted in its report last December that the incipient improvement in sales was largely concentrated in the segment of parts with lower prices.

    This, the expectation of recovery that begins to glimpse the market could be exaggerated. As Citi comments in a report on Swatch there is a high "uncertainty about the future profile of revenue growth and the potential recovery of margins, as well as structural challenges (production overcapacity, continued disruption in Hong Kong, the largest market and most profitable of the Swiss watch industry, deflation of prices, threat of smartwatches) ".

    Chuwi became known worldwide for its tablets in which both an Android system and a Windows system that you could use according to your preferences were integrated.


    The Chinese brand has also developed well facing challenges such as entering the tablets and convertibles 2 in 1 with Windows, presenting authentic best sellers such as Chuwi H10 Pro or Chuwi H12.

    His pulse has also not trembled when he embarked on the manufacture of laptops and ultrabooks and, after the successful experience they had with the Chuwi SurBook, whose financing was made possible thanks to a campaign in Indiegogo, where he obtained more than $ 1 million of investment. .

    Now CHUWI returns to the charge with the same formula to make his second foray into the difficult terrain of the convertible 2 in 1 with Windows 10 and devote the month of November to seek funding for your Chuwi Corebook.

    This new convertible 2-in-1 integrates an Intel Core M3 7Y30 7th generation processor with which will achieve a very good performance and very tight consumption.

    Next to this processor we find 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. On this equipment we find a laminated OGS screen with full HD resolution of 13.3 inches covered with a glass manufactured with 2.5D technology. This screen technology is similar to that used in the manufacture of smartphones screens and allows to reduce the presence of air between the layers that form the screen to show images with sharper and vivid colors.

    Chuwi Corebook is a tablet, but it can also become a portable for all purposes as it comes with an adjustable keyboard and tiltable up to 165 ° to maintain productivity and improve viewing angles.

    Design

    When choosing a terminal there are many that give great importance to design while others look more in technical characteristics, performance, camera, battery, etc. In addition it is always difficult to qualify a mobile based on its design because for tastes colors, having said that, I will not enter if it is prettier or uglier.


    The ZTE Blade 4G Vec is an angled smartphone, with quite sharp corners which, more or less, is somewhat more uncomfortable than a mobile with a more curved profile, although it is worth mentioning that the edges are slightly rounded.

    The mobile is manufactured in a single body, has a unibody design so the battery is not removable and the SIM card is accessible from the left profile with a removable tray. The storage capacity is 16 GB and you cannot expand it with a MicroSD card.

    In the right profile you have the physical controls of volume and blocking / on-off of the terminal and on the lower edge the mini jack to connect the headphones. At the top edge the MicroUSB to connect to your equipment or to the current.

    Screen

    The ZTE Blade 4G Vec has a 5-inch HD screen with IPS technology and a very interesting resolution for a cheap smartphone like this, 1280 x 720 pixels under a pixel density of 291ppp and 16 million colors.

    Hardware and performance

    We liked it on the outside, but ... and inside? Let's now analyze the internal components to know what features they can offer when talking about performance and data processing.

    The ZTE Blade 4G Vec features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core 1.2 processor along with an Adreno 305 GPU and a 1GB RAM.

    Obviously we are not in front of a top terminal, far from it. But after installing and playing several demanding mobile video games such as Real Racing 3 or Dead Trigger 2 we have not seen excessive problems. Both games ran with ease.

    If we talk about photo editing or multimedia content consumption, we notice slight delays, which you will only perceive if some of the most powerful mobile devices on the market have passed through your hands, but you will hardly notice if your experience and your previous mobility devices were in the range half. That is, delays, there are, but they are minimal.

    We have also been struck by some flicker of lighting, but without excessive importance, although it is worth mentioning them.

    The battery is not removable, it is a unibody device. It has a capacity of 2,300 mAh and in normal use, consult social networks, mail, web browsing and some other occasional call is able to arrive without any problems to the day of use.


    Software and connectivity

    At software level we find Android 4.4.2 KitKat, an S.O. that without being the newest in the market; it is not excessively outdated compared to the competition.

    The customization layer used by the ZTE Blade 4G vec is very light and quite clean, with few modifications and extra applications. Something that is appreciated and that directly influences performance, for good, of course.

    Another feature that we especially liked is the possibility of 4G connection offered thanks to the integrated fourth generation modem that enables you to download content at 150 Mbps low speed frequencies 800/1800/2600 MHz. It also has WiFi 802.11 b / g / n, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS.

    Camera

    In the camera section the ZTE Blade 4G Vec has left us with bit bittersweet and strange sensations. And it is that the webcam, that is, the front camera, offers very good features despite having a 1 megapixel sensor.

    The webcam offers three modes, one the normal, another the beautification, which retouches the photos automatically, with a pretty good result. And I say this quite good, because we have found other mobile phones that used this software and deformed the features to the point of not recognizing us. But more than words, we leave you a graphic example so you can see the difference.

    The third mode of the webcam is the smile detection, that is, the mobile should detect autonomously when you smile and take the picture. I say I should, because I have not been able to detect my smile, maybe it is that I am very serious; (It is not a significant problem, but it should also be noted.

    The main camera, the rear one, uses an 8 megapixel sensor with Flash and autofocus. Like almost 100% of the phones in this segment, the camera shows great shortcomings in low light conditions. We have also detected certain autofocus problems in some photographs.

    The camera has several modes and manual settings such as ISO control (100 - 800), scene setting (automatic, incandescent, natural light, fluorescent, cloudy) exposure and focus level (photometer, center and middle). It also has panoramic and HDR.

    Conclusions

    To summarize a bit my impressions after spending more than a month testing and analyzing this smartphone we could highlight that the ZTE Blade 4G Vec offers an HD screen with good definition and brightness. The battery without being its main asset, offers more than decent results exceeding the day of use without excessive problems.

    At the level of performance let's say that it does not stand out but it does not show excessive problems either, it is what is expected for a mobile of its price.

    The camera, powerful in its webcam section and slightly below the average in the main camera, but we cannot pretend that a mobile that costs 179 euros free has everything, right?

    It allows to visualize in real time the movements of our language while we speak


    French researchers have developed a system that allows us to visualize, in real time, the movements of our language as we speak. In this way, we can learn to correctly pronounce both our language and a foreign language. The system is based on an enhanced lingual ultrasound supported by an automatic learning algorithm.

    French researchers have developed a system that allows us to visualize, in real time, the movements of our language. It is an enlarged lingual ultrasound that, in addition to showing the face and lips, makes the tongue, palate and teeth appear, usually hidden inside the mouth.

    The movements of the tongue are captured with the help of an ultrasound probe located under the jaw, and then processed by an automatic learning algorithm that allows piloting a "articulatory talking head" spice.

    This system of visual feedback, which allows to better understand and improve human pronunciation, will be very useful for the reeducation of speech therapy or the learning of a foreign language. The results are published in the journal Speech Communication.

    Orthophony makes reference both to the correction of the defects of the voice and the pronunciation of the sounds of a language, as well as to the correct pronunciation of the sounds of another language.

    The orthophonic reeducation of a person afflicted with joint disorders relies in part on reeducation through exercises, through which the therapist qualitatively analyzes the patient's pronunciation and explains orally, or with the help of schemes, how to use their joints, and especially the tongue, something that we are not generally aware of.

    The effectiveness of the orthophonic reeducation is based on the good integration by the patient of the indications provided by the therapist. It is at this moment in which the systems of visual articulatory return allow the patient to visualize in real time their own articulatory movements (especially those of the language), in order to become aware of what they are doing and to correct defects more quickly. of pronunciation.

    For years, Anglo-Saxon researchers have developed the technique of ultrasound for the conception of systems of visual return. In these works, the image of the tongue is obtained by placing a probe similar to the one used to obtain the image of a fetus under the jaw. This image, however, is difficult to be exploited by the patient because it is not of good quality and also because it does not give any information on the palate or teeth.

    Improved visual return

    In the new work, French researchers improve this visual return through a kind of articulatory talking head that is automatically animated in real time from echographic images supported by an algorithm, according to a statement.

    This virtual clone of a speaker allows a visualization of the physical process of articulation of a language and its pronunciation much more intuitive and contextualized.

    The strength of the new system, unlike the previous ones, is based on the machine learning algorithm in which these French researchers have been working for a few years.

    There are already several manufacturers that have announced or filtering - intentionally or not - that they are working on devices with folding screens. One of the most important seems to join the race with all its arsenal, and that Microsoft could develop a folding tablet with Windows 10.


    In addition, it would do so in ARM architecture, that is, with Snapdragon processor. We already know that both Microsoft and Qualcomm work side by side to adapt W10 to this architecture, a project that seems to go smoothly. This would put both companies at the same level as Samsung and Huawei, the two brands that already work in mobile phones.

    A novel idea ... or not

    It is not the first time that the creator of Windows has a similar idea. According to some sources, there has already been a folding tablet project for at least seven years called Courier, before the rest of the manufacturers were ahead of Microsoft on the right. This project for 2018 revives the idea under the name of Andromeda.

    In this case, things have changed a lot. In addition to the ARM architecture, among the few data available on this new device are the references to electronic ink. From there, everything is intuition: it may be half tablet or half electronic notepad. Little can be said about it for now.

    Together with ARM, the electronic ink would be a substantial improvement in autonomy, easily reaching several days of battery even with Windows 10. For now, all the information on W10 with Snapdragon reaffirm this hypothesis.

    By 2018 at the earliest

    The Andromeda tablet prototype with Windows 10 and Snapdragon will be in the best of cases for next year. It is even possible that it is delayed or never is, because it is not the first time that Redmond abandon a project on the fly.

    Little is known about specifications, size, dimensions or screen quality, it is a simple sketch of what could be a totally innovative device, with the capacity to create a market and demand that does not exist today.

    Independientemente de su necesidad, hemos encontrado una computadora portátil de 13 pulgadas para ti.


    En caso de que no esté familiarizado con el clima actual, las computadoras portátiles generalmente vienen con pantallas de 13 o 15 pulgadas. Hay algunos forasteros que se jactan, digamos, de pantallas de 11 o 12 pulgadas, pero son la excepción y no la regla. En los últimos años, sin embargo, las laptops de 15 pulgadas se han vuelto tabú debido a sus tamaños exorbitantemente grandes y pesos voluminosos. Es por eso que hemos organizado una lista de las mejores laptops de 13 pulgadas a las que puede convertir hoy.

    Al hacerlo, nos hemos tomado la molestia de probar y revisar a fondo todos los ejemplos que pudimos encontrar y, posteriormente, clasificarlos a todos de una manera ordenada. Como no pudimos unánimemente nombrar a la mejor computadora portátil de 13 pulgadas por sí misma sin alguna reacción muy merecida, hemos reunido una lista de 10 computadoras clamshell entre las que puede elegir. Algunos ejecutan Windows 10, mientras que otros defienden macOS High Sierra, pero todos son igualmente dignos de su consideración.

    No mucho ha cambiado año tras año, pero las mejoras hechas a Dell XPS 13 este año son definitivamente notables. En el extremo superior, el XPS 13 ahora ofrece hasta 1TB de almacenamiento, lo que le permite descargar más películas de las que puede ver. Sin embargo, no dejes que esta aparente falta de innovación te distraiga: el diseño atractivo, la duración prolongada de la batería e incluso la ranura para tarjeta SD siguen ahí, pero ahora tiene más componentes internos que la ponen cara a cara con las MacBooks y HP. Espectros del mundo. Mejor aún, el procesador de tamaño completo y la pantalla de 13.3 pulgadas todavía están empaquetados en un marco de 11 pulgadas hecho posible por la tecnología de pantalla InfinityEdge casi sin bisel de Dell.


    2. Razer Blade Stealth

    Fantasía un Ultrabook para más que solo jugadores

    CPU: Dual-core: cuatro núcleos Intel Core i7 | Gráficos: Intel HD Graphics 620 - Intel UHD Graphics 620 | RAM: 16GB | Pantalla: 13,3 pulgadas QHD + (3,200 x 1,800) pantalla táctil IGZO con retroiluminación LED | Almacenamiento: 256GB - 1TB SSD

    No esperaría que una computadora portátil hecha por uno de los nombres más grandes en los juegos de PC sea más delgada y ligera que una MacBook Pro, y sin embargo, aquí estamos. El Razer Blade Stealth, con su nuevo acabado de bronce, no solo ofrece una estética preciosa y práctica, con su brillo de pantalla de 400 nits y puertos USB 3.0 de tamaño completo, sino que también tiene algunos trucos en sus mangas para hacer funciona más rápido. Por fin, la 8ª generación del Intel Kaby Lake Refresh lo ha convertido en la nueva versión de 13.3 pulgadas del Razer Blade Stealth.

    3. Asus ZenBook Flip UX360

    Una computadora portátil 2-en-1 asequible

    CPU: Intel Core M3 de doble núcleo: Core i7 | Gráficos: Intel HD Graphics 515 - 620 | RAM: 4GB - 8GB | Pantalla: 13.3 pulgadas FHD (1.920 x 1.080) - QHD + (3.200 x 1.800) | Almacenamiento: 128GB - 512GB SSD

    Hay una nueva entrada en la línea de Zenbook de Asus con el UX360, que presenta muchas de las mismas especificaciones que su predecesora, pero con la flexibilidad de una computadora portátil 2-en-1.

    El HP Spectre x360 es la computadora portátil que le muestras a tus padres. Está muy bien hecho, con un diseño cromado que lo hace tan innovador tanto en el exterior como en el interior. Con la opción entre una CPU de séptima generación i5 o i7 Ultrabook y una pantalla de 1080p o 4K, HP permite mucho espacio para la personalización. No tiene poca potencia, ni su duración de batería sufre una sobrecompensación. De hecho, en nuestra propia prueba de cine, el HP Spectre x360 duró unas sorprendentes 8 horas y 45 minutos. La única pega real es que, al igual que la mayoría de sus competidores, el Specter x360 también carece de una ranura para tarjeta SD, y opta por un par de puertos USB tipo C.

    5. Samsung Notebook 9

    Gran rendimiento en el barato

    CPU: Intel Core i5 de doble núcleo | Gráficos: Intel HD Graphics 520 | RAM: 8GB | Pantalla: 13,3 pulgadas, FHD (1,920 x 1,080) pantalla LED antirreflectante | Almacenamiento: SSD de 256 GB

    Es posible que Samsung no haya hecho mucho mella en la escena de la computadora portátil con mucho más que su convertible Tab Pro S, pero el seguimiento de Samsung de la notebook de la Serie 9 de 2012 no solo presenta especificaciones impresionantes, también tiene un precio competitivo. Comercializado como un Ultrabook, es ciertamente desalentador saber que la vida de la batería dura solo cinco horas, pero dado su diseño elegante y atractivo, casi no importa. Lo que es más, con el Samsung Notebook 9, no tendrá que lidiar con el bloatware que hace que muchos otros Microsoft sean el blanco de mensajes de foro enojados.

    6. Laptop de superficie

    La toma más directa de Microsoft en la MacBook aún

    CPU: 7ma generación Intel Core i5 - i7 | Gráficos: Intel HD Graphics 620 - Iris Plus Graphics 640 | RAM: 4GB - 16GB | Pantalla: 13,5 pulgadas, pantalla de PixelSense de 2,256 x 1,504 | Almacenamiento: 128GB - 512GB SSD

    The Surface Laptop es la primera puñalada de Microsoft en una computadora portátil "tradicional", si es que se puede llamar así sabiendo muy bien que su pantalla táctil PixelSense y el teclado Alcántara son todo menos convencional. Con una pila completa de procesadores Intel Core i de la séptima generación de la serie U, el Surface Laptop supera al MacBook de Apple de 12 pulgadas cualquier día de la semana, y por un precio inicial más bajo. A pesar de que los puertos y el sistema operativo son limitados, el ordenador portátil Surface es atractivo por su diseño loable, pantalla muy vívida y rendimiento impresionante.

    7. Lenovo Yoga 920

    CPU: Intel Core i5 de cuatro núcleos - i7 | Gráficos: Intel UHD Graphics 620 | RAM: 8GB - 16GB | Pantalla: 13.9 pulgadas FHD (1.920 x 1.080) - UHD (3,840 x 2,160) | Almacenamiento: 256GB - 1TB SSD.

    Como las computadoras portátiles 2 en 1 se han vuelto más frecuentes en los últimos años, sus fabricantes las han estado mejorando a un ritmo casi igual. Esto suena cierto para algunos fabricantes de portátiles más que para Lenovo, sin embargo, quien se ha tomado la libertad de crear magníficos convertibles drop-dead con bisagras parecidas a bandas, como la del Yoga 920. Esta versión de Lenovo cada vez más popular La marca de híbridos ve la integración de los puertos USB-C, una cámara web centrada y, quizás lo que es más interesante, un procesador Intel de cuatro núcleos de octava generación, independientemente de la configuración que elija. Ronronea más fuerte de lo esperado, y el modo de tableta podría usar algo de trabajo, pero el Lenovo Yoga 920 finalmente vale la pena su precio de admisión.

    8. MacBook Air de 13 pulgadas

    La mejor duración de la batería en una computadora portátil de 13 pulgadas

    CPU: Intel Core i5 de doble núcleo: Core i7 | Gráficos: Intel HD Graphics 6000 | RAM: 8GB | Pantalla: 13,3 pulgadas, LED HD (1,440 x 900) | Almacenamiento: 128GB - 512GB SSD

    En un mercado densamente poblado con computadoras portátiles de línea delgada de una amplia gama de fabricantes, la MacBook Air de Apple lucha admirablemente, aunque comenzó a mostrar su edad en el exterior hace mucho tiempo. Tiene los procesadores de la serie Core de quinta generación de Intel en lugar de las variantes más recientes de Skylake, pero sigue siendo una máquina capaz; más aún desde que Apple hizo 8 GB de RAM estándar en la línea.

    9. MacBook Pro de 13 pulgadas con barra táctil

    La MacBook Pro más pequeña es una fuerza de la naturaleza

    CPU: Intel Core i5 de doble núcleo - Core i7 | Gráficos: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 - 650 | RAM: 8GB - 16GB | Pantalla: 13.3 pulgadas IPS, 2.560 x 1.600 píxeles | Almacenamiento: 256GB - 1TB SSD

    La última versión de la seminal serie MacBook Pro de Apple está aquí, y como era de esperar, presenta una serie de mejoras notables respecto a la oferta del año pasado. Si bien es posible que no tenga exactamente la mayor duración de la batería del juego (con una puntuación inferior a una hora menos que la oferta del año pasado), sí ofrece un mayor rendimiento gracias a una nueva CPU y una RAM más rápida. Agregue eso a la continua dedicación de Apple a la simplicidad y el hermoso diseño, y tiene una laptop que es elegante, portátil y confiable.

    Your wrist only deserves the best companion


    The smartwatch is the ultimate smartphone accessory. You can tell the time, of course, but you can also send important notifications directly to the wrist, and run native applications.

    What is more impressive is that many of the best models of today can also perform a ton of innovative tricks, such as allowing you to search the Internet with your voice, track your exercise on GPS, and allow you to check-out in the supermarket without having to take out your wallet.

    Oh yes - and they look absolutely awesome to begin with.

    For some time, jumping into the world of smart watches was a risky move. But now, with the compelling efforts put forth by Google with Android Wear, Apple with watchOS, and more, there has never been a better time to put portable technology on a leash.

    Choosing the smartwatch that is right for you is not easy, but we hope that the exciting process of choosing your next (or first!) Smartwatch is as simple as possible.

    1. Apple Watch 2

    Fitness takes over Apple Watch

    Operating system: watchOS 3 | Compatibility: iOS | Display: 1.53 "OLED | Processor: S2 dual-core | band sizes: Varies drastically by clock size | storage board: 8GB (only 2GB and 75MB allowed by music and photos, respectively) | battery: 18 hours | IP rating: IPX7 | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC

    The Apple Watch 2 is the best smartwatch you can buy right now. It's water resistant, which means it's more durable than most other devices on this list and you will not have to worry about letting it get wet when you're jogging outdoors.

    There is GPS on board to make running a bit easier, plus the latest watchOS 3 software comes running. Intelligent design that looks very similar to the original Apple Watch. Be careful, the Apple Watch 2 is expensive.

    If you already have an Apple Watch, Apple Watch 2 may not be worth the upgrade, but there are some solid improvements that mean it's worth spending that little bit more if this is your first usable Apple laptop.


    2. Samsung Gear S3

    Samsung's latest big bet against Apple - literally

    Operating system: Tizen OS | Compatibility: Android, iOS | Display: 1.3 "360 x 360 Super AMOLED | Processor: Dual-core 1.0 GHz | band sizes: S (105 x 65mm) L (130 x 70mm) | storage board: 4GB | battery life: 3 days | Charging method: Wireless | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G

    Despite a serious lack of original applications, the Samsung Gear S3 is one of the best options in the market.

    The intuitive controls and Samsung Gear S2 Super AMOLED screen are back in full form here. In addition, the GPS makes its debut in the Gear S3.

    While its appearance is more executive than the Gear S2, it rocks an IP68 protected construction and can last up to 3 days of use before needing a load.

    Samsung recently made the Gear S3 (and Gear S2, for that matter) compatible with iOS. Therefore, if you are looking for a more traditional alternative to the Apple Watch, you may have found the perfect one.

    3. LG watch style

    The thinnest Android Wear smartwatch on the market

    Compatibility: Android 4.3+, iOS8.2 + | Display: 1.2 "360 x 360 P-OLED | Processor: Snapdragon Wear 2100 | Storage board: 4GB | Battery life: up to 24 hours | Charging method: USB conductive charger | IP Rating: IP67 | Connectivity: Wi-Fi , Bluetooth

    The watch style of LG (built in collaboration with Google) offers everything that is to love the best Android Wear smartwatches, it removes the fearful casing deflated, and fills the gap with interesting features, useful and a lot of .. style

    Put all that together and you're left with a very attractive presentation that makes a strong and powerful argument for the usable Google platform. But here are some family issues.

    The battery life is still a weak point, and, as independent as Android Wear 2.0 claims to be, Google is still in the early days of filling the new Play Store with compatible applications that are attractive enough to differentiate yours. The appeal of the style lies more in what will be soon, rather than what is in the release.

    That said, it's easy to express why Style is the only smart watch we want to put on our wrists. For $ 249, (£ 249 / AU $ 325, but not confirmed for AU), it offers the same utility as previous smartwatch attempts, but ups the ante with a slim and elegant design and several welcome features, such as Google Assistant Voice activated and an updated user interface that is full of smart settings.


    4. LG Watch Sport

    Google Android phone on your wrist

    Operating system: Android Wear 2.0 | Compatibility: Android, iOS | Display: 1.38 "OLED | Processor: Snapdragon Wear 2100 | band sizes: large fixed band | on-board storage: 4GB | battery: 16 hours | Charging Method: Wireless | IP Rating: IP68 | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth , NFC

    LG Watch Sport is the smartwatch to take at this moment simply because it is a full-featured fitness tracker wrapped in a smartwatch with Android Wear 2.0. While other smart watches can do "fitness tracking" that barely collects the amount of trots and calories burned, this watch tracks your strength training, too.

    It is also one of the few smart watches that supports an LTE connection, that is, if you insert a SIM card on the back of the watch, you can make and receive calls and data without your smartwatch nearby.

    It does not have the best battery life, although its size is larger than normal, and applications are still announced for the newly renewed Google platform. But it is an appropriate step for Android Wear and for smart watches in general.


    5. Asus ZenWatch 3

    ZenWatch develops its third attempt

    Operating system: Android Wear | Compatibility: Android, iOS | Display: 1.39 "400 x 400 AMOLED | Processor: Snapdragon Wear 2100 | Case Dimensions: 44mm Diameter, 9.9mm Thickness | On-Board Storage: 4GB | Battery: 2 Days | Charging Method: Through proprietary USB charger | IP Rating: IP67 | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth

    If you're in the market for an Android Wear smartwatch, the Asus ZenWatch 3 should be near the top of your list. It has a large screen, useful hardware buttons and good battery life. And although the process of adopting Android Wear 2.0 has been slow, the company says it will be out soon.

    His style may not be for everyone, and he lacks some sensors, but Asus did an admirable job designing a watch that looks more like a premium watch than a piece of lifeless technology.

    6. Huawei watch 2

    A well-equipped smartwatch with too many functions

    Operating system: Android Wear 2.0 | Compatibility: Android, iOS | Display: 1.2 "AMOLED | Processor: Snapdragon wear 2100 | Sizes Band: Replaceable band Fixed at 140-210mm | Storage board: 4GB | Battery: Up to 2 days | Charging method: Wired | IP Rating: IP68 | Connectivity: Wi -Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, 4G (In selected regions)

    It is not the successor that we imagined it would be, the Huawei Watch 2 attracts a sports crowd that values ​​function over form. And in terms of functions, this smartwatch is full of them. GPS, NFC, even 4G connectivity is available in some regions.

    For all its benefits, we want the Huawei watch 2 to be maintained with a Premium design. The bulky construction, mostly plastic, does not go well against the toughest competition. Also a drawback is that its screen is smaller in this version, but on the positive side, it has won spiffy Android Wear 2.0 software.


    7. Moto 360 (2nd generation)

    The Moto smartwatch is a matter of beauty

    Operating system: Android Wear | Compatibility: Android, iOS | Display: 1.37 "or 1.56" LCD | Processor: 1.2 GHz quad-core | Dimensions of the box: 42 mm or a diameter of 46 mm, each 11.4mm thick | On board storage: 4GB | Battery: 1.5-2 days, depending on size | Charging method: wireless | IP Classification: IP67 | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth...

    8. Apple Watch

    IPhone-fixed smartwatch is expensive, but convenient

    Operating system: watchOS 3 | Compatibility: iOS | Screen: 1.53 "OLED | Processor: S1 System-in-Package (SIP) | Band sizes: Drastically varies by style | Storage board: 8GB (only 2GB and 75MB allowed by music and photos, respectively) | Battery: 18 hours | Charging method: Wireless | IP Rating: IPX7 | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC

    Once you get over the high price, estee is a genuinely useful thing to have around sometimes. Being able to check when you have a message, or see who is calling and be able to make quick decisions, feels like the future, especially when you're exercising or in another situation where grabbing your phone is not practical.

    The new Apple watchOS 3 enhancements really help this leap into the future SmartWatch, even if the hardware is more than a year old. Now it's faster, more usable and comes with watch faces that make it feel more personal.

    And as application developers use the new tools, there will be much more to come as well.

    Also, the Apple Watch 2 now is not as expensive as it once was.

    9. Huawei watch

    The debut of the wearable Huawei makes a striking entrance

    Operating system: Android Wear | Compatibility: Android, iOS | Display: 1.4 "AMOLED | Processor: 1.2 GHz quad-core | Case dimensions: 42 mm in diameter, 11.3 mm in thickness | on-board storage: 4 GB | battery: 2 days | Charging method: Wireless | IP Classification: IP67 | Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth

    The Huawei watch is not perfect, with the life of the dubious battery that ruins the magnificent presentation. The imminent update of Android Wear 2.0 should help improve that.

    But that should not stop you, since its price, once high, is falling fast and, in general, it's an almost perfect mix of fashion and technology that is closer to winning the title of "smartwatch that I would really wear".
