Annually, companies gather at a particular location to exhibit new product launches. These launches include everything, ranging from smartphones to TVs. The Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin (IFA) is the location giants prepare to battle and showcase their exhibitions, whether large or small. After these innovations are unveiled, they’re laid bare for examination. The trade show went on from Sept. 5 to Sept. 10, 2014 in Berlin. Among the giants in attendance at the trade show were Acer, Samsung, Asus, Sony, Motorola and others who unwrapped neatly presented gadgets for the world to see.
Acer
Acer unveiled four convertible devices at the IFA boasting the sophisticated Windows 8.1 operating system- the Aspire Switch 10, Aspire Switch 11, Acer Aspire R13, and Aspire R14. These notebooks were announced as being strong and flexible gadgets since they have the ability to transpose its screen and detach its keyboard. This means that the convertible notebooks could be used as a tablet on the go but as a laptop while stationed at home.
Alongside the convertible devices were Acer’s unveiled triple tablets – the Acer Iconia Tab 8 W, Acer Iconia Tab 10, and Acer Iconia One 8 tablet. The Acer Iconia Tab 8 W brags the Windows 8.1 operating system. It’s slated to arrive in October with a price of around €149. This price is set far below what Microsoft Inc. is accustomed to. However, since they’re offering Windows to tablet makers for free, provided that the device is below 9in or less, the device will be distributed at that cost.
The Acer Iconia Tab 10 promotes a stunning 10.1-inch FHD screen for clear cut images which was designed to enhance readability when exposed to the sun. To reduce smudges and present a squeaky clean screen, the Acer Iconia Tab 10 is made from an anti-fingerprint coating technology. The Acer Iconia One 8 is a member of the Iconia One family. This tablet promotes a larger screen size of 8inch and a robust Intel enabling faster processing speed. The device is small enough to be placed comfortably in a handbag while boasting a big enough screen to provide much entertainment and seamless interaction.
Samsung
Samsung, another giant at the trade show, also brought their early Christmas gifts. Among the gadgets revealed was the Galaxy Note 4 which brags a 5.7” QHD Super AMOLED screen, among other specs. The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, also unveiled at the expo, boasts an arched display and mimics features of the Note family, including the stylish S pen stylus. With around 160px added to the right side of the Note Edge’s display, this is a pretty sweet upgrade and probably wields the highest resolution within the smartphone industry at present. The camera spec has bedazzled many and the 2k curved screen of the Edge leaves it with a daintily curved edgy look. Treats from Samsung didn’t stop here. Several other gadgets such as a host of smart watches and a new device powered by Oculus Rift – a mobile virtual reality headset – reared their heads at the 2014 trade show in Berlin.
Asus
In a partnership with Google, the company was able to produce its first wearable gadget, the ZenWatch. Eric Chen, ASUS’ Corporate Vice President, announced additional gadgets including the Zenbook UX305 which is seen as the thinnest 13.3 QHD + laptop in the world. The sophisticated, firm and radiant EeeBook X205 and the MeMO Pad 7 (ME572C) which is the contemporary version of the MeMO Pad’s kindred was also unveiled at the expo. After highlighting the aforementioned gadgets, Mr. Chen concluded by announcing the ProSieben Entertainment Pad which is the 8-inch tablet slated for roll out in Germany.
Sony
Sony had its fair share of announcements to make at the IFA 2014. The Sony Xperia Z3 was among one of the many gadgets unveiled officially by Sony. Many were astounded when Sony launched the Sony Xperia Z3 as its fourth smartphone in less than a year since the company has been rapidly wielding out the Xperia Z smartphone series. The latest release of the Xperia Z smartphone is more of iteration rather than innovation. This means that Sony is more concerned about developing or improving the Xperia Z line of smartphones, rather than hit the scenes with another innovation. With additional refinements made to the Xperia Z series, Sony would have created one of the meanest and leanest smartphones on the market.
Other unveiled gadgets by Sony included the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, the successor of the Xperia Z1 Compact, and Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact which is the ‘sized down’ successor of the Xperia Z2 Tablet.
Motorola
Hitting the scene and creating an astounding tech headline was Motorola’s unveiled devices at the trade show. Among the surprises were Motorola’s Moto G, the new Moto X and the Hint earpiece. There was also the official debuting of probably the only smart watch in the smart watch industry with a round face – the Moto 360 smart watch.
The unveiling of these smartphones and gadgets were really astounding. These devices will soon be made available for the public to explore and develop new and fun ways to be entertained by these unveiled techs.
