“smartwatches” protagonists of this year’s IFA, opt for a more like classic watchmaking design more discreet, away from the appearance of Apple Watch released in April.
Samsung, Motorola and Huawei chose a round dial in their latest models of these accessories that allow, among other things, monitor the heart rate, receive notifications, read SMS or see who’s calling by mobile phone.
“The market is growing slowly, but the same thing happened with mobile: how many people said in 1990: ‘I never need a mobile,’” says the director of IFA, Jns Heithecker.
The makers of “smartphones” are trying to attract those who enjoy taking pictures of themselves with their phone. Chinese Lenovo released the Vibe S1, a phone with a dual camera on the front, which should allow selfis magnify.

After the television, the sound will also be heard in three dimensions, front and sides as before, but also above, which will give a greater sense of immersion.
