1
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Unique gadgets from Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. I'm

2
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: rich Demiro and this is rich on Tech Daily. So

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: every year the mobile industry heads to Barcelona, Spain for

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: a show called Mobile World Congress. This is basically like

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: a meeting of the minds for all the big players

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: in the wireless industry.

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 2: They are all there.

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: They talk about the future of mobile internet wireless technologies,

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: and of course some of the mobile carriers and companies

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: show off new gadgets.

11
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: Now, I have never been to this show.

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: Can you believe that it's one that I always want

13
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: to go to, But I've never made it over there,

14
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: But I do follow it and get to see some

15
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: of the stuff that's launched over here. Let's start with Nokia.

16
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: They're bringing back the iconic eighty one ten, which was

17
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: quickly coined by bloggers the banana phone because it resembled

18
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: a banana. The eighty one ten has an easy to

19
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: use interface, but this time around you also get popular

20
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: apps like Google Maps, and yes, there's even a reboot

21
00:00:58,640 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: of the game Snake.

22
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: We all had a Nokia back in the day.

23
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: This is obviously playing on our nostalgia. Sony is launching

24
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: some wireless headphones that automatically adjust the volume on their own.

25
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: They're called the Experia Ear Duo and they use artificial

26
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,919
Speaker 1: intelligence to make music and notifications sound louder or softer

27
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: depending on your surroundings.

28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: So what does this.

29
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: Mean, Well, it means you won't have to pull out

30
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: your earbuds when someone tries to talk to you, which

31
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: is really cool. There's some other features built in as well.

32
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: Samsung is letting you turn its flagship Galaxy S nine

33
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: smartphone into a computer. Now, this is something they've done

34
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: before with what's called the dex docking station, but now

35
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: they have a new thing. They call it the des pad,

36
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,919
Speaker 1: And so all you do is you plug your smartphone

37
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: into this little docking station. Then you connect a big

38
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: screen monitor and a keyboard, and you can now use

39
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: your phone kind of as a big computer, so you

40
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: can edit documents, you can type things out on a

41
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: real size keyboard. It's a really cool concept. But now

42
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: the new thing is that you can use your phone

43
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: as a touch screen, so your phone's screen will double

44
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: as a trackpad. Now they say imitation is the sincere's

45
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: form of flattery. While a SEUs has nailed it. They

46
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: are channeling the iPhone ten with a copycat notch at

47
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: the top of their phone called the zen Phone five.

48
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: This one also has some sort of animoji software built in.

49
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's not as good as what Apple's doing.

50
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: This device runs Android. It costs half the price of

51
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: a new iPhone, just five hundred dollars. Is kind of

52
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: crazy for them to literally copy almost every aspect of

53
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: the iPhone, even down to the way the camera is

54
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: situated on the back.

55
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: All right.

56
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: Finally, the Innovation award goes to Vivo. They showed off

57
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: their concept APEX full view phone.

58
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: This has a.

59
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: Fingerprint scanner in the screen, which I find really cool,

60
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: and it also has a neat selfie camera. It pops

61
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: out of the top of the phone when you need it,

62
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: then it retracks down in less than a second when

63
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: you're done. And why do we need this Well, obviously

64
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: for reasons like you know, just look school, but also

65
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: it can protect your privacy because we've heard a lot

66
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: about how in the future hackers you're going to try

67
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: to get access to the camera and sensors on our

68
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: phone more and more.

69
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: Well, there you have it.

70
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: Five cool gadgets from Mobile World Congress maybe one of
