I tested for you, a week without the Apple Watch Series 2!

You dreamed of it but being in the skin of James Bond, it’s stronger than you? I spent a week without my Apple Watch Series 2, Apple’s connected watch, and here are my impressions.
By forgetting the charger of my Apple Watch in Morocco in the margins of the festival Mawazine 2017, I simply tried not to use my watch connected. This looks simple but, the Apple Watch Series 2 is on my wrist since its release. And ten months of living together with the Apple Watch, it’s not nothing! Even if obviously, the indispensable side of a connected watch has never been proven, I finally found many benefits. And then, I’m still part of generation 89 that does not find any difference between an Apple Watch and hot water.
The first day without my Apple Watch was a Sunday, an endless day. If I got into the habit of running every day on the watch to check my emails, answering SMS and calls, everything changed without this condensed technology. I now felt like I was away from action and info alerts. My iPhone 7 never seemed so overwhelmed by the events . Yes, I can do everything with the smartphone headed but have a Watch in addition, it has nothing to have. Imagine being able to phone on one side and play on the other? If the most skeptical will say that it has not succeeded in replacing the iPhone, I will try to explain in the next few lines why life without Apple Watch is not as simple as what the ”
Live without Apple Watch is snober the know-how . At the restaurant for example, I no longer go out my iPhone at the table. Thanks to the head-watch, discretion was part of my personality. Today I feel like I’m going back in a world where the ultra-connected had not yet its place. Living without Apple Watch is certainly less hard than going without its smartphone but, the chic side of the watch is priceless. Tactile, intelligent and square, the watch connected the firm to the Apple has the DNA of Steve Jobs . And thanks to the Apple Watch, I felt less alone.
By becoming waterproof, the Apple Watch Series 2 showed its muscles. I could share my performance at the pool (I take you when you want to breaststroke ) with my friends who also have a watch. Suddenly, you felt less alone and you could challenge her girlfriend oklm. So there is a social side that I have never seen in the world of telephony. And icing on the cake, doing sports has never been so hilarious for a geek . But the Apple Watch miss me most, when I’m driving a car.
The Apple Watch Series 2 replaces the famous hands-free kit. Basically, one can make calls from the watch and speak James Bond way in his car. And I have to admit that with the Watch, I never had a ticket for talking at the wheel. It is difficult to talk about the connected watch without telling his life, so much the relationship with this gadget is personal. And although I easily zapped the classic watches with the arrival of the iPhone in 2007, I still can not get used to a life without Apple Watch . Without being perfect or indispensable, it has revolutionized my everyday life ….

Samsung Galaxy S8 +: A day of testing with the new boss of smartphones!

sivertime — Fri, 21 Apr 2017 14:34:49 +0000

The Galaxy S8 + was delivered to us by Samsung. I had the opportunity to spend a day next to this smartphone. And here are my first impressions, waiting for my complete test.
10h : Ouloulou, I am one of the lucky ones who will test the Samsung Galaxy S8 +. I’m a bit ashamed, but nothing but the packaging of the new Korean smartphone gives me as much thrill as a new album by Kendrick Lamar. It is open. Aesthetically, the Galaxy S8 + has nothing to do with its elders . He throws it but still risks to keep the fingerprints of all my friends on his back shell. Well, I’m not going to make it difficult. The Galaxy S8 Plus’s very strong technical sheet sells a dream, what more can you ask for?
10h30 : Aesthetically, the Samsung Galaxy S8 + tutoie perfection. Despite its 6.2 inches, this new smartphone is very compact and offers a beautiful grip. With its sleek front, the Galaxy S8 + is synonymous with Waouh. Its Infinity screen can leave you speechless. In my hands, I felt like I was just holding a screen. Ultra-light and very thin, the Galaxy S8 + gives a real visual and sensorial slap.
11h : The first surprise that bluffs me on this Galaxy S8 is its home button. Pressing it, I felt a pressure on the finger while it is not even a real button. The new home button simulates the sensations (like your girlfriend) of a physical button. But it was mostly the screen that put a real slap. OLED requires, the contrast is effective and much better than that of any LCD screen (there is no photo with the iPhone 7 for example).
12h : Once the Samsung Galaxy S8 + has been configured, I tackle the heavy subject: the camera. And there, magic operates! The colors are hallucinating, the sensor adapts to all conditions of brightness, from the sun terrace to the subway dipped in the dark. Unlike other manufacturers, Samsung did not crack for the dual photo sensor . And even if it is only 12 megapixels, If the Galaxy S8 and S8 + are satisfied with a definition of 12 megapixels, it is mainly to capture more light. The editing of melty is more beautiful than true.
13h : It’s time for lunch and the opportunity to check that the Galaxy S8 + is waterproof. Yes, Samsung’s new phone is IP68 certified, allowing it to be immersed for 30 minutes at a depth of 1.50 meters and resisting dust. Well, I took my courage to slide the Galaxy S8 + in a glass of water (it’s less than a meter 50 but I’m already scared enough). The phone recovered well and I was able to navigate between oklm applications.
15h : Well, I decided to download the game Asphalt Xtrem to see what it looks like on Galaxy S8 +. After all, chopping rare creatures has never hurt anyone! The result is canon.
16h : After a rather dense little day, the Galaxy S8 + displays 60% of battery. Dammit . To conclude, this smartphone is a pleasure to use and it is probably the best I could try. I look forward to testing Bixby and the performance of this smartphone which should benefit from an update to correct its red veil.

Honor 8, Apple, Louane … We redid the world with Yan Liu, deputy director of Honor France

magictr — Mon, 16 Jan 2017 14:32:09 +0000

On the occasion of the presentation of Honor 6X, we had the opportunity to interview Yan Liu, the deputy director of Honor France. We had the opportunity to review the success of Honor 8, the future campaigns of Louane Emera and what Apple inspired Honor!
Honor never ceases to amaze us. The subsidiary of Huawei who has just celebrated its 3 years is devouring the smartphone market in the world. Its products are generally endowed with a very good data sheet and are always marketed at low prices. In other words, the young brand has something to compete with the biggest. And it is not Honor 6X that will disprove these remarks. On the occasion of the presentation of this smartphone equipped with a dual camera sensor , we had the opportunity to meet Liu Yan, deputy director of Honor France. The latter kindly returned to the success of Honor 8, the role of Louane Emera and talk about the giants, Apple and Samsung.
MeltyStyle: The Honor 8 met with great success in France. Can we communicate the sales figures of the smartphone?

Yan Liu: It was 70% more sales compared to Honor 7.
MS: Among your competitors, which one inspires you the most: Apple or Samsung? What is the thing you admire most in everyone?
YL : It’s Apple, the big giant market. If one were to take up one of their qualities, it would be their way of communicating. Apple is able to decide in the place of the consumer. This power of persuasion is felt at the level of their products. Everyone who has tested them has become addicted to it.

MS: The Honor 8 has a very good technical sheet. But if one were to find a defect, it would be the absence of the tightness. Why did not you think of it?
YL : In the product design, we have thought about. We were asked a hypothetical sealing of Honor 8 but in the end we realized that the waterproof side was not part of the essential needs of our customers. We’re not trying to expand our target yet …
MS: Your phones are always sold at low prices. What is your secret ?
YL : The secret is that it has a small distribution margin. We try to offer our products at an attractive price for consumers. You can imagine, however, that there are many brakes at the distributor level, but it is the consumers who buy. And if it is they who demand products at low prices, we can only make sure that they are satisfied. But there is no economy on raw materials. We have the same specifications at Honor or Huawei, we do not skip processes.
Louane, Honor France, advertising, Honor 6X, ambassador, Louane Emera
Louane is the ambassador of Honor in France
MS: Honor put a lot on the Internet. Will we soon be entitled to a digital campaign with Louane?
YL: It’s already underway. She (Louane Emera) tells his story in one of our future videos. This sentimental attachment with our ambassadors is even stronger than creating a link with the dual photo sensor of Honor 8 or Honor 6X.
