Tech giants meet in Barcelona the tyler group reviews
Technology giants are descending into Barcelona as the Spanish city plays host “Mobile World Congress”, one of the world’s biggest technology events.
From major smart phone manufacturers to telecom operators, app developers and even urban city planners are expected to announce new initiatives that could transform the way we use technology with our smartphone-cum-tablets.
Among the major participants are Samsung, Nokia, Sony and HTC. Although Samsung is not expected to announce the much awaited S4, and HTC and Sony made some major launches only last week, there are hopes that there would be more coming during this MWC.
Some people expect a few new launches from Nokia, Asus and Samsung.
A few weeks ago, Samsung had told Emirates 24/7 that their own Tizen OS is ready and they are planning a few mobile devices with their own operating system on board.
Tech blog Sammobile has released details and screenshots of the new OS and even an SDK download link (http://www.sammobile.com/2013/02/18/tizen-sdk-2-0-screenshots/)
The report says this release could be close to the final version and the first Samsung device using Tizen may be similar to the S3. Hopefully, we will have the answer by the end of MWC.
Huawei’s Ascend P2 will also be officially announced during the show. The Android based smart phone will be powered by a 1.8GHz quad-core processor, 2GB RAM, a 13-megapixel camera and a 3,000mAh battery apart from a 1.3mp front-facing camera. Nokia is expected to throw some light on its Lumia 520 and 720 during the show.
Meanwhile, Acer has announced multiple new devices – Liquid E1, Z2 and C1, all of which will be showcased during the MWC.
The Liquid E1 features a 4.5-inch qHD display, dual-core processor and runs Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and features a dual-speaker system and DTS Sound and will have dual SIM suppor
