Sony Xperia XZ Premium: Users complain about a WiFi problem

sivertime — Mon, 19 Jun 2017 13:51:31 +0000

First big worry with the Sony Xperia XZ Premium. According to some users, the flagship would lose the WiFi signal for no reason, while they are quietly doing research or checking their apps.
The Sony Xperia XZ Premium, which was officially launched during the MWC, came on the market on 9 June. Tens of thousands of people hastened to get it, perhaps by following our guide of the best packages available to French operators . But if its design, power and photo quality were unanimous, some users quickly recovered a concern about WiFi connection … According to them, the Xperia XZ Premium would disconnect for no reason, Would severely disrupt navigation . For a high-end smartphone, it’s average, it must be recognized.
It was on the official forum of Sony that the first user affected by this problem, as Phonandroid relays . Under the nickname @ Eviltreebs_1412, he explained receiving regular “a message at the top of the screen asserting that his phone is offline” , even when it is located very close to its router. A problem raised by about 40 other users, and sometimes manifested in different ways … At some, the signal returns a few minutes after disappearing. Others are obliged to erase the network concerned to reinstall it. A little painful when you are quietly doing research via its smartphone. Hopefully the next Sony update will solve this concern.

Sony Xperia XZ Premium: 4K screen, photo, video and autonomy … Here is our complete test

sivertime — Fri, 09 Jun 2017 15:26:11 +0000

Available for purchase in France today, the Sony Xperia XZ Premium has it all. With its Snapdragon 835, its 4K HDR display and its 4GB of RAM, this smartphone has been tested by the editorial, and here is our verdict.
With the Xperia XZ Premium, Sony has created the sensation in the smartphone market. A situation that was no longer used to seeing with the Japanese manufacturer who has, nevertheless, always unveiled products that had everything to please. But sales never really followed the ambition of the Japanese giant. Today, Sony seems to have found the right recipe to make everyone agree: a condensed technology in a luxurious terminal . I rarely as much kiffé test a smartphone, before this Xperia XZ Premium. Brilliant like a piano at 20,000 euros, it throws even though, I would have liked that it avoids to keep the prints of all my friends …. But promised, I will not make my difficult.
Aesthetically, the Sony Xperia XZ Premium takes a bit of the visual codes of the Xperia XA1 and XA1 Ultra. With its new device, Sony Mobile has “redefined” the concept of borderless smartphone . While the Galaxy S8 and LG G6 have more than one dream with their big screens, the Xperia XZ Premium offers an edgeless finish, only on the sides. One aspect that can be called “courageous” since Sony still does not want to imitate the others . Always at the design level, the Xperia XZ Premium offers a rather unusual system to access the microSD and SIM card slots. But it is important to remember the judicious position of its fingerprint sensor. This is located on the power button of the device.
The Xperia XZ Premium is as brilliant as a piano at 20,000 euros
But what really impressed me on this smartphone is probably its photo quality, not to mention its famous 4K screen. But let’s say it once and for all, the Japanese manufacturer does not yet master the true 4K and I will come back to it later. To return to our sheep, to the picture what, bah Sony enters a new dimension with its XZ Premium . Equipped with a 19 megapixel rear sensor and a 13MP front-end sensor, the Nippon flagship is a good photophone thanks to Motion Eye technology, Super Slow motion (a slow motion ‘At 960 frames per second in High Definition) and predictive capture. But he could have called it perfection, if it had the famous optical stabilization …
The other real pleasure of this smartphone is its power. The Sony Xperia XZ Premium is a little Flash smartphone version . He’s a real racing beast. Fast and fluid, the Japanese smartphone never seems to be behind what I have just asked. And thanks to its 4 GB of RAM, the Xperia XZ Premium does not encounter any slowdown. This is one of the most reactive Android devices I’ve tested. Moving from one application to another is a real pleasure, so much so that you will not hesitate to shop from your bed.
If there is indeed a trick of egg on this new Xperia, it is its mode Super Slow Motion that allows to film up to 960 images per second . There is really no picture with the idle mode of your smartphone which usually does not exceed 240 fps. Personally, I was able to make a small video in Super Slow Motion , and the result is not bad. But in contrast the Sony flagship is not really 4K. The “jewel” from Sony displays the contents in Full HD, it only goes into 4K after 4K compatible videos are launched. This is a trick of Sony so that the battery does not empty quickly.
Equipped with a Snapdragon 835, an Adreno 530 graphics chip and 4 GB of RAM, the Xperia XZ Premium is one of the best terminals for gamers. It is not for nothing that he imposed himself before the Samsung Galaxy S8 in a Speed Test . For my part, I spent a few hours on the mobile games of the moment. Apart from a slight overheating, Sony’s newest son is doing very well. And his little overheating disappears, as soon as we stop playing. But otherwise, he does not suffer (again) from any slowdown. Level autonomy, the Xperia XZ Premium is a good student. Thanks to its 3,250 mAh battery, it can ensure a good day and a half of use.
On the interface side, Sony has not changed much with its new smartphone that comes with Android 7.1 . If you’ve already had a Sony Xperia, you will see almost no change. And if the smartphone app drawer is really cool, I struggled with the many apps pre-installed on the tel. Between the music and video players, the drawing application or the activity tracker and Xperia Lounge, I find that “it’s a lot, no” (to use this expression of 2/3 French rappers ..). What is really re-released is the impossibility of removing these pre-installed apps. Yes, you read well. We can disable oklm but they will still be in the smartphone.
And even if after 15 days, I really fell in love with the Xperia XZ Premium (which is available for purchase in France, here) and on its side waouh that leaves none of my friends indifferent, I can also him Find faults. Its ratio size / screen is not up to what can be found on the Galaxy S8 or LG G6. Its 4K is not really premium and its camera is not the best performer of the market (still efforts to do in reactivity of the sensor and distance of focus, but in general, the Xperia XZ Premium is without doubt One of the most powerful smartphones of the year So you’re going to shopper it today?

Meizu M5 Note: 2 tricks we really kiffé on the smartphone of less than 230 euros!

sivertime — Thu, 08 Jun 2017 14:53:20 +0000

The Meizu M5 Note is a smartphone of 5.5 inches well equipped and whose price is less than 230 euros. And here are the 3 tricks that we really kiffé on this device.
Since he arrived at the editorial office, the M5 Note impresses us. This 5.5-inch smartphone that is compatible with the 800 MHz band (this famous 4G frequency) is very well finished. For a mid-range phablette, one can even say that the finishes are perfect. And this is felt at the level of the grip which is very nice. But beyond this good ergonomics, Meizu’s M5 Note also has other advantages … And here are the tricks that we really kiffé on this device.
To supply power to its M5 Note, Meizu equipped it with an imposing battery of 4000 mAh . The result is a very good endurance. In fact, the M5 Note can provide about 2 days of normal use. If you use it as a true geek, it will easily hold the day. On the other hand, below 30%, the battery level drops very quickly. But hey, we’re not going to do our tough.

Sony Xperia XZ Premium: We tested the headset that is offered if you pre-order the smartphone

sivertime — Thu, 01 Jun 2017 15:07:42 +0000

While the Xperia XZ Premium is fast approaching, the Sony Xperia XZ Premium has it all. If you pre-order it, you will even receive a Sony h.ear On Wireless headset that is also called MDR-100ABN. We tested it at the editorial, here is our verdict!
Announced as the perfect successor to the Xperia Z5 Premium, the Xperia XZ Premium is the first smartphone equipped with a 4K HDR display. With this new high-end camera, Sony is progressing enormously in the photo according to our first pictures . And as the Japanese giant decided not to do things by half, it offers you squarely its h.ear On Wireless headset that is also known as MDR-100ABN, in case of pre-order of the Sony Xperia XZ Premium. In the editorial, we had the opportunity to test this helmet and here are our impressions!
Aesthetically, the Sony MDR-100ABN takes over the codes of its senior, the MDR-100A. Its plastic shell is both sturdy and well finished. Sony offers us a product with a clean, modern and rather discreet design . But the last criterion is not necessarily valid for the lime helmet that has been tested. Beyond the color, the helmet is supple and easily forgotten on the ears. As for ergonomics, the headset – which you can have free of charge by pre-ordering now the Sony Xperia XZ Premium (offer valid until June 8) – can withstand a few twists. But if you want to preserve it, you can fold its ear cups inward and store it in its protective cover.
Unlike the MDR-100A, the MDR-100ABN is wireless with noise reduction in addition . But after listening to some rap sounds fr, I quickly realized that noise reduction was not the strong point of the Japanese helmet. To obtain excellent audio performance, it is even better to disable this noise reduction. But overall, Sony’s headset sends heavy and can allow you to forget the noise of the subway when you travel. But in my eyes, it is autonomy that will put everyone in agreement.
Equipped with a battery that offers a range of 30 hours, the Sony MDR-100ABN headphones tutoie perfection at this level. And the icing on the cake, this headset goes into standby as soon as it is no longer used. This is a detail probably for you but, this is very important for the autonomy of the helmet. And if the headset’s battery is discharged , Sony even offers us the option of using it as a wired with a mini-jack cable that comes with the product . So you understood. This headset will make your ears happy, if you pre-order the Xperia XZ Premium here before June 8th . And it would be stupid to miss out on this since the new smartphone from Sony will not be sold with headphones on its release … So, what are you waiting for?

Meizu M5 Note: Getting started with the smartphone less than 230 euros which snobe Google!

sivertime — Mon, 29 May 2017 15:09:55 +0000

Officially sold at less than 230 euros, the Meizu M5 Note is a 5.5-inch smartphone that snoves Google applications. We took it in hand, and here are our impressions!
Meizu never ceases to amaze us. The former MP3 player manufacturer has revived with smartphones in 2011 and since then, has accustomed us to release several smartphones. Today, it has even become difficult to keep up with the frantic pace of outings. Like the Huawei, Xiaomi and other Lenovo, Meizu has succeeded in establishing itself in the telephony market with quality terminals and very attractive prices . And while the official presentation of the Meizu Pro 7 is fast approaching , the M5 Note is finally through our hands. And we are quite impressed by this smartphone that snoves Google applications.
Aesthetically, the Meizu M5 Note throws . Again, the Chinese manufacturer proves that its terminals are (always) very well finished. Featuring a metal chassis, the M5 Note is compact. Nice to take charge, the smartphone adapts easily to its user. Whether you’re right-handed or left-handed, you’ll have no trouble going to the volume buttons with one hand. This is really cool enough on a 5.5 inch smartphone. But what we really kiffé on the M5 Note is its screen very contrasted.
The 5.5-inch screen of the M5 Note offers a very good contrast of 1,410: 1 and a brightness of 437 cd / m². This is quite effective to watch Game of Thrones in VOD or the Champions League final. Without being as good as a high-end smartphone, the screen of the M5 Note is not bad for this price of 229 euros . On the other hand, the interface of the Chinese smartphone left us a little puzzled. No Google apps are available at startup. Well, we knew that the Meizu smartphones only had very few apps from the research giant, but there were none! Come on … we’ll start the test and come back quickly to you? Meanwhile, discovers how the Chinese manufacturer has teased the arrival of its Pro 7

BlackBerry KEYONE: I started to test the smartphone, here are my first impressions!

sivertime — Thu, 25 May 2017 13:30:41 +0000

Ouloulou, the BlackBerry KEYONE has finally arrived at the editorial office. Equipped with a touch screen and a physical keyboard, this smartphone amazed me. Here are my impressions, after my first grip!
I hoped, I finally got it: The BlackBerry KEYONE, this device that I discovered in preview at the MWC 2017, finally arrived at the editorial office. While its French release is fast approaching , I will finally test this smartphone which is equipped with a touch screen and a physical keyboard! This is the first smartphone produced by TCL Communication and distributed as the BlackBerry. And even if it now has some Chinese blood, the KEYONE retains the DNA of BlackBerry phones : a modern and pleasant aesthetics and a choice of premium materials. In fact, just the KEYONE packaging can make you as many effects as a new Kendrick Lamar clip!
The BlackBerry / TCL Communication KEYONE is not just a smartphone. Featuring an anodized aluminum frame and a textured shell that is very pleasant to the touch, the flagship that comes with Android 7.1 is good to take in hand . And thanks to the polycarbonate found on its back, this device will not slip between your fingers and to finish, its rounded edges on the slices are really beautiful. But between the presentation of the product and its arrival at the editorial office, it was probably the KEYONE screen that impressed me most. Equipped with a Corning Gorilla Glass 4 glass to limit breakage and scratches, BlackBerry’s baby screen and TCL Communication throws . And even if it is only 4.5 inches,
Thanks to the KEYone’s Smart Keyboard features , you can almost do everything with one hand. Personally, I was able to scroll through the menus oklm, tickling the screen from right to left or pressing a long key to launch an app. Yeah, it’s an egg thing, I’ll give it to you. You can send a message, launch Youtube or another action, by simply clicking on one of the letters chosen as a shortcut key at the beginning. Accustomed to using an iPhone 7 and a Huawei P10, I easily adapted to this KEYONE . Since the keyboard of the KEYONE allows to do almost everything, the navigation buttons seemed to me limit almost useless.

Sony Xperia XA1: 3 tricks that we really like on the mid-range smartphone!

sivertime — Tue, 09 May 2017 15:21:22 +0000

The Sony Xperia XA has passed the various stages of the editorial tests. And we really kiffé these 3 things on the midrange smartphone. Presentation !
Sony has brought its own vision of the borderless with the Xperia XA1. This mid-range smartphone has been tested and validated by the editorial staff . Elegant and very beautiful to see, the Xperia XA1 slice aesthetically with everything we are used to see. But if it throws, the new Japanese terminal is not necessarily very good side ergonomics. In use, the choice of this rectangular design is not very effective . But at least we’ve been kissing other tricks really nice on this device mid-range. And meltyStyle tells you everything right now!
In addition to the original and aesthetic side, we have kiffé interface Xperia XA1 made by Sony. It should be said that Android 7.0 Nougat is perfectly associated with the Xperia UI, which offers a simple navigation and fairly fluid. Throughout my test, I was the victim of only one small slowdown. In short, it’s no fault for Sony !
If the Xperia XZ Premium is the first smartphone equipped with a 4K HDR display , the XA1 can also boast a beautiful screen. Whether in the sunny terrace or in the subway, the colors offered are bright and remain true to reality. But good, we could still hope for a better screen than this HD 720p which is marketed at the price of 299 euros, here.

Sony Xperia XA1: Camera, battery life, performance … Our complete smartphone test

sivertime — Tue, 02 May 2017 13:53:40 +0000

Presented at the MWC 2017, the Sony Xperia XA1 is a smartphone as elegant as the Xperia XZ Premium. We tested it for a week and here are our impressions in terms of autonomy, performance and camera.
With the Xperia XA1, Sony has redefined the concept of borderless smartphone. Its new mid-range is edgeless, only, on the sides. But leaving several millimeters between the top of the smartphone and its screen, the Japanese manufacturer has delivered a device that looks very big for a 5 inches. At the writing, we did not hesitate to compare it to a Huawei P10 Lite, a smartphone equipped with a screen of 5.2 inches, and the result is impressive. The Xperia XA1 is more impressive than a P10 Lite! Fortunately, the new mobile phone from Sony is good to take in hand and its technical sheet has something to feast on.
In terms of screen, the Sony Xperia XA1 has good arguments. Whether on a sunny terrace or in a subway, the 5-inch screen adapts to different light conditions . But it’s especially the interface of the Xperia XA1 that amazed me. Very close to Android Nougat, the Xperia UI overlay offers a menu display and a similar bar that recall the latest version of the Google OS, which facilitates the user experience. The new Nippon smartphone is also offered with several pre-installed apps. Among these, particularly include, Playstation, Xperia Lounge, Shop Amazon .. . But unlike other manufacturers, the giant Nippon offers us the possibility to uninstall them.
To move on to serious things and gauge the power of the smartphone, I decided to install and launch the Asphalt Extreme. And the least we can say is that the mobile chip MediaTek Helio P20 with the 3GB memory does not pretend. Fluid, the game has not suffered from any slowdown . And on the photo side, Sony is finally up to its reputation. At the time when the Nippon provides the photo sensors of the best flagship market (LG G6, iPhone 7) , it has often been unable to have such good photo quality on its own terminals. But in 2017, Sony set the record straight.
With a high-speed, accurate autofocus, the Xperia XA1 can allow you to capture the most spontaneous moments. This picture of my cat yawning (below) that I took with the smartphone of Sony is the perfect illustration of these words. Finally, the Xperia XA1 is also distinguished by its system by its system of optical stabilization. The Sony camera also shoots in Full HD and an HDR mode is proposed to improve the sharpness of your photos against the light. In short, everything is good for taking nice pictures.
The Xperia XA1 has been designed to deliver even longer performance. Qnovo Adapt Charging technology controls the battery condition and adjusts the charge time to prevent damage and maximize battery life. Yes, you understood it. Sony has done everything to ensure a long life span of the Xperia XA1 . When used intensively, the smartphone can easily exceed 13 hours, which places it at the same level as a Huawei P10 Lite but a little way down from the Honor 6X or the Galaxy A3 2017.
With this smartphone, Sony proves to us that it is always in the blow (even if one never doubted to the drafting). Fluid and pleasant in hand, the Xperia XA1 allows to capture beautiful photos outdoors and is inspired by the swipe of Snapchat to facilitate the use of its photos app . Equipped with a good battery life and a solid technical data sheet, it stands out for its virtually rimless display and rectangular design that changes from what we are used to seeing on the market. But if you are in love with this terminal, you can also find some faults. Its elongated format is, for example, a real disadvantage in everyday life. If you want to have fun with this very nice smartphone, you can shopper it here .

IPad 2017: 15 days to test the new Apple tablet, my verdict!

sivertime — Fri, 21 Apr 2017 14:18:37 +0000

Apple launched, a few weeks ago, its cheapest tablet. This is the iPad 2017. I tested it and here is my verdict.
La Pomme never ceases to surprise us. At the end of March, the Cupertino company launched its iPad 2017. This headed tablet was delivered to us two weeks ago. And since then I have been able to personally watch videos, surf and learn on this head tablet thanks to the app MyScript Calculator. But the first thing I wanted to do, after unpacking this new 9.7-inch iPad, is to use it as a video player to watch, for example, series in bed . So I installed the myCanal app. The result is beyond my expectations.
Whether watching a VOD series or a UEFA Champions League game as good as Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich, the colors are mind-blowing and the screen adapts to all the lighting conditions, from the sunny terrace To the room plunged into the darkness. The True Tone association and the Night Shift mode that was created to protect our eyes at night makes real wonders. The new 9.7-inch iPad features the brightest screen I’ve ever tested, any high-tech device combined.
I love it more than necessary, this iPad unfortunately did not allow me to replace my MacBook Pro. But who knows, the future iPhone may be able to zap our computer. And since the use of a tablet at the office or at the Fac is limited, in most of the time, to taking notes or surfing on the Internet then, the iPad 2017 is a real war machine. But that’s not all. The first iPad of the year also goes devilishly fast. Moving from one app to another is a real kif, it never seemed overdue on what I was asking. Whether you’re looking for a pair of sneakers on the SNS website or a shell on the Amazon app or the Fnac app, it’s the perfect tablet to heat the CB from its bed .
And as Apple put a lot on education and learning, the Californian giant did not do things half with his tablet. Whether learning to code with Swift Playgrounds, reading books on its big screen, increasing productivity with Microsoft Office and multitasking features like Split Screen or simply creating videos with the Clips app Which delights us with writing , the iPad can accompany you everywhere and meet your expectations . So you understood. Everything justifies the purchase of this new iPad whose price starts at 409 euros, by ICI.

A day with the Huawei Watch 2, the connected watch that is independent of the smartphone

sivertime — Wed, 05 Apr 2017 19:31:53 +0000

The Huawei Watch 2 is finally available for purchase. We had the chance to test this connected watch, in preview and here are our impressions.
11h : OMG, I became a VIP at Huawei. After having had the opportunity to test the Huawei P10 , I will now tackle the Huawei Watch 2. Already, with my first watch signed Apple, I felt like James Bond. So, imagine my kif when unpacking this watch under Android Wear 2.0! On my wrist, the Huawei Watch 2 throws. But if you hope for a small discreet watch, it’s dead. The Chinese giant sees the big picture.
12h : Aesthetically, Huawei has radically changed its Watch 2, compared to the Watch Classic. If the first generation of the connected watch from Huawei stands out with its bracelets, the new generation is more sporty, more masculine. Featuring a lightweight rubber strap, the Huawei Watch 2 looks visibly easy to wear.
12h30 : Hardly twinned with the P10, the Huawei Watch 2 recovers most of the apps installed on the smartphone. This sync is done at high speed V, thanks to the new Android Wear 2.0 operating system. The new “dock” of the watch, which is accessible by pressing the side button, allows me to easily access the apps and it’s really cool.
13h : In addition to having changed design, the new connected watch from Huawei has been transformed inside: it is now waterproof . She can now accompany me in the shower or during my sessions at the pool since she is certified IP68. For the dolphins, we’ll see later … In short, I decide to go under water and fortunately for me, the watch always walks oklm.
14h : By becoming waterproof, the Huawei Watch 2 decided to show its muscles . The connected watch now uses multiple sensors with complex algorithms, offers fitness solutions and optimizes drives. These integrated sensors collect comprehensive data on user activity, distance, speed, number of steps, heart rate, heart rate, calorie count, pace, route, etc. Doing sports has never been so crazy for a geek.
14:30 : But what I really like about this watch is being able to detach myself from my Huawei P10, whenever I want. This new smartwatch embeds its own modem of the blow, it is autonomous . I can finally go out running without my smartphone, while being able to be reached by message or even by telephone. Since I had the slab, I decided to test the GPS built into this watch (a real novelty) . I literally could give up my P10 to the editor and geo-locate with my watch.
16h : The Huawei Watch 2 is a true formula 1 compared to its eldest. It’s a bit like “Flash” smartwatch version. Navigating between the apps is a real happiness especially when compared with the slow hell imposed by his big sister. And cherry on the cake, its autonomy meets all my expectations . The battery lasts two days in normal use, up to 10 hours in “training mode ” and up to three weeks in “watch mode”.
Appraisal :
The new Huawei Watch is still a beautiful kid but is making good progress on the sport . Even if we get wet, she can accompany us from morning to night. A bigger screen would have helped to establish itself as a gadget that would make us crack every time. But personally, I’m already seduced. If you want to get it, it’s by HERE that it happens.

IPhone 7: 6 months with the headed smartphone, our complete test!

sivertime — Wed, 08 Mar 2017 16:18:37 +0000

It’s been 6 months since the iPhone 7 joined the stalls. Meanwhile, the smartphone headed in its 256 GB version has gone through all the steps of a full test to the editorial and here is our verdict!
In September 2016, Apple surprised many people by presenting its iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. The reason is simple: the new headed smartphones are devoid of jack. For my part, I was a bit ashamed when unpacking the iPhone 7, almost 6 months ago. Nothing but the packaging of Apple’s latest “jewel” had given me as much chills as a new album of my favorite rapper. Aesthetically, the iPhone 7 looks like two drops of water to the iPhone 6s. The only novelty described as “courageous” by the Apple (and scandalous by half of my friends) is the abandonment therefore , of the port jack. Apple has nevertheless managed to “calm” the anger of the “anti” Since its iPhone 7, delivered with a small adapter that can be plugged into the lightning jack to listen to music “old-fashioned”, propelled it into the forefront of smartphone sellers at the end of the year . But is the iPhone 7 really the king of smartphones?
As you will see further, the iPhone 7 is a revolution without actually being. Its design that seems identical to that of the iPhone 6s is not as commonplace as that. The Apple smartphone is waterproof, IP67 certified! Basically , it can be dipped up to 1 meter deep for up to 30 minutes. This little novelty has saved my iPhone 7, several times, a certain death. But good for the iPhone 7 is waterproof, Apple still had to change the home button that is now no longer mechanical. Yeah it’s a bit rough at first but, we get used to it quickly. Personally, what I really liked with this iPhone is, no doubt the camera. For the first time, The Cupertino firm has equipped its basic iPhone with an optical stabilizer . And the result is very fast, in the photos. On the performance side, Apple once again set the bar very high.
The Apple that is about to inaugurate the Apple Park, the last great project of Steve Jobs , made me dream with this iPhone. Equipped with the A10 Fusion chip that is designed by Apple, the iPhone 7 is a true Formula 1. This is Flash version smartphone . Moving from one application to another is a real pleasure, never seems to be behind what has just been asked. Helped by iOS 10, the iPhone 7 is one of the most responsive smartphones I’ve tested! The other fun of this smartphone are the applications and shopping sites. Whether you’re looking for a pair of sneakers on the SNS site or a shell on the Amazon app or the Fnac app, it’s the perfect smartphone to heat the CB from its bed.
Anyway, i’m in love. The screen, speed and design of this iPhone are still as effective but I can also reproach him. The iPhone 7 is very harmful to the blue card, at the time of purchase. And autonomy side, it is always an iPhone that has trouble to overcome the day. But the only question that must be asked is, if we can afford it, would we then turn to the iPhone or the very rich offer Android? We particularly like the waterproof smartphones of the competition. If so, it’s very cool to play “Super Mario Run” in his bath. But if I had to release a final argument to help you decide, I would say that the iPhone 7 is also the most cold-resistant smartphone .

First watch of the Huawei Watch 2, the connected watch that wants to make itself indispensable

sivertime — Wed, 01 Mar 2017 16:40:58 +0000

OMG, Huawei unveiled its new watch connected Android Wear 2.0 to the MWC 2017. Named Huawei Watch 2 and with its own 4G chip, this smartwatch is autonomous. I quickly tested it and here are my impressions.
Ouloulou, I am one of the lucky ones who will test in preview the Huawei Watch 2. I am a little ashamed but aesthetically, the new smartwatch of Huawei gives me as many shivers as a new Air Jordan. The Huawei Watch 2 looks like a real watch. On my wrist, the new “jewel” from Huawei throws. Thanks to its double crown, it offers a timeless elegance and adapts to the personality of the wearer . More masculine and sportier than its elder, the Huawei Watch 2 retains the 1.3-inch screen and 390 x 390 pixels that was discovered on the first generation.
If the design of the case of the Huawei Watch 2 has not moved, the new watch connected has changed inside: it has become waterproof. IP68 certified, this new smartwatch can accompany you in the shower or during your sessions at the swimming pool. In front waterproof, the connected watch of the Chinese giant decided to show his muscles. Equipped with its own 4G chip, the Watch 2 offers several of the fitness solutions to optimize your workout. In short, the Huawei Watch 2 will motivate you to play sports , even when you are lazy!
Equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor, the Huawei Watch 2 (4G version) is indispensable . She allowed me to send text messages or call my girlfriend, without having my Huawei P10 handy. Thanks to this watch, you can leave your phone at home and stay connected throughout the day. Better, you can use oklm apps like Uber, Foursquare and Facebook Messenger, always away from your phone. Compatible with iOS, the Huawei Watch 2 promotes a healthier life every day . With a new smarter OS, the Huawei Watch 2 is a formula 1 compared to the first generation. It’s a bit like Usain Bolt version shows connected.

My only regret with this watch that tutoie perfection is perhaps its autonomy. Despite a slightly boosted battery, new features like the 4G have not really improved this point, the Watch Series 2 is equipped with a battery that lasts two days in normal use and up to three weeks for the “watch mode” . But it does not exceed 10 hours in training mode . But as you should know, the autonomy of a connected watch depends above all on the type of use.

The new Huawei Watch is a beautiful kid that progresses enormously in the sport. From now on, she can accompany us from morning to night even if we get wet! At a minimum of 329 euros, the connected watch was well positioned in its segment. A little more autonomy would have helped to establish itself as an indispensable gadget. But at least, it has the merit of being autonomous and that is really not bad ! Launched in March in France, the version without 4G of the Watch 2 of Huawei will be sold at 320 €. To benefit from its better autonomy, it will be necessary to invest in the version 4G to 379 €. Otherwise, you will also find your happiness with the version 4G and Bluetooth that will be available at 399 €. Personally, I am waiting for the release of the Porsche Design version before breaking my piggy bank. But OK, I still do not know its price. So wait and see …

MacBook Pro 2016: Touch Bar makes it easy to access emojis on Mail and iMessage

I test, for a few days, the new MacBook Pro. And for now, I am still amazed by his Touch Bar which allows to do almost everything. On Mail and iMessage, emojis have never been so cool. The details !
A few months after its presentation, I finally managed the new 15-inch MacBook Pro equipped with a Touch Bar. This tactile display bar above the keyboard, in place of the function keys, allows you to do everything … or almost. Real innovation on new models “high end” of headed computer, the Touch Bar is compatible with all Mac OS apps and some different app. In total, there are no fewer than 40 applications compatible with this OLED ribbon. And each of them offers several possibilities at the Touch Bar. If you use this display bar on Mail or iMessage for example, access to emojis is easier than ever. But that’s not all…
By testing the MacBook Pro 2016, I realized that Apple has (very) well optimized all the shortcuts in its Touch Bar. At iMessage, I could send a text message to my girl directly from the Touch Bar (which blew me away when I first test day ). Yes, we do not need to look for the button “new message” in the mail from Apple . Better still, simply open the message so that the Touch Bar offers, when choosing the recipient, up to three addresses that correspond to the first letters entered. What a magic trick. To return to emoji, Apple has decided to make us zizir integrating an access button on the Touch Bar . We thus find the whole emojis, in a single click, oklm. As for me, I return quickly to you with a complete test of this revolutionary computer.
