WEBVTT - 5 Unique Gadgets from Mobile World Congress

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Unique gadgets from Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. I'm

0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>rich Demiro and this is rich on Tech Daily. So

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 1>every year the mobile industry heads to Barcelona, Spain for

0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:17.599
<v Speaker 1>a show called Mobile World Congress. This is basically like

0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:20.119
<v Speaker 1>a meeting of the minds for all the big players

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:21.280
<v Speaker 1>in the wireless industry.

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:22.439
<v Speaker 2>They are all there.

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:26.120
<v Speaker 1>They talk about the future of mobile internet wireless technologies,

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>and of course some of the mobile carriers and companies

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>show off new gadgets.

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Now, I have never been to this show.

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Can you believe that it's one that I always want

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.080
<v Speaker 1>to go to, But I've never made it over there,

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:39.280
<v Speaker 1>But I do follow it and get to see some

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 1>of the stuff that's launched over here. Let's start with Nokia.

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 1>They're bringing back the iconic eighty one ten, which was

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.879
<v Speaker 1>quickly coined by bloggers the banana phone because it resembled

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 1>a banana. The eighty one ten has an easy to

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>use interface, but this time around you also get popular

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>apps like Google Maps, and yes, there's even a reboot

0:00:58.640 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 1>of the game Snake.

0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 2>We all had a Nokia back in the day.

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>This is obviously playing on our nostalgia. Sony is launching

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>some wireless headphones that automatically adjust the volume on their own.

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 1>They're called the Experia Ear Duo and they use artificial

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:18.919
<v Speaker 1>intelligence to make music and notifications sound louder or softer

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 1>depending on your surroundings.

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 2>So what does this.

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Mean, Well, it means you won't have to pull out

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.039
<v Speaker 1>your earbuds when someone tries to talk to you, which

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>is really cool. There's some other features built in as well.

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Samsung is letting you turn its flagship Galaxy S nine

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 1>smartphone into a computer. Now, this is something they've done

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>before with what's called the dex docking station, but now

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.400
<v Speaker 1>they have a new thing. They call it the des pad,

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.919
<v Speaker 1>And so all you do is you plug your smartphone

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 1>into this little docking station. Then you connect a big

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>screen monitor and a keyboard, and you can now use

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 1>your phone kind of as a big computer, so you

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>can edit documents, you can type things out on a

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>real size keyboard. It's a really cool concept. But now

0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 1>the new thing is that you can use your phone

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 1>as a touch screen, so your phone's screen will double

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>as a trackpad. Now they say imitation is the sincere's

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 1>form of flattery. While a SEUs has nailed it. They

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 1>are channeling the iPhone ten with a copycat notch at

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>the top of their phone called the zen Phone five.

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 1>This one also has some sort of animoji software built in.

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it's not as good as what Apple's doing.

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>This device runs Android. It costs half the price of

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>a new iPhone, just five hundred dollars. Is kind of

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.519
<v Speaker 1>crazy for them to literally copy almost every aspect of

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the iPhone, even down to the way the camera is

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>situated on the back.

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 2>All right.

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Finally, the Innovation award goes to Vivo. They showed off

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 1>their concept APEX full view phone.

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 2>This has a.

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Fingerprint scanner in the screen, which I find really cool,

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>and it also has a neat selfie camera. It pops

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>out of the top of the phone when you need it,

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 1>then it retracks down in less than a second when

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 1>you're done. And why do we need this Well, obviously

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>for reasons like you know, just look school, but also

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>it can protect your privacy because we've heard a lot

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>about how in the future hackers you're going to try

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.520
<v Speaker 1>to get access to the camera and sensors on our

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 1>phone more and more.

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, there you have it.

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.079
<v Speaker 1>Five cool gadgets from Mobile World Congress maybe one of

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:14.919
