For fans of game consoles, avid gamers and just interested in this topic, great news recently appeared! The long-awaited PlayStation 5 is finally officially announced by Sony.

How it all began

The first rumors of an upcoming novelty passed through the IT community for a long time. Back in April 2019, PS5 chief system architect Mark Czerny announced that the development of the new console has been ongoing for more than 4 years.

Since SONY did not plan to take part in the annual E3 exhibition in 2019, the hypotheses regarding the release date of the PlayStation 5 only gained momentum. In addition, the gaming community could not ignore the fact that back on February 13, 2018, the technology of backward compatibility of games was patented, which, according to some reports, was specially developed for the new PS5.

What's new

Bluepont studio helped with the development of the novelty, which at one time also exerted strength in the updated Shadow of the Colossus. According to official data, the console contains such interesting functions as ray tracing, a new controller with USB Type-C, and a completely updated interface.

It is worth noting another innovation - an improved fragmentary system for installing games, which allows you to install only those components that seemed to the user the most necessary or interesting, for example, only multiplayer or story campaign. The new controller in the announced prefix does not yet have its name, but in terms of characteristics and properties it is most like the already known DualShock 4.

Smart watches are already quite a familiar accessory in modern life. Moreover, the trend towards a transition from traditional watches to smart watches shows that progress does not stand still and that smart watches are interesting and necessary for people. And this is not surprising, since today smart watches are characterized not only by wide functionality, but also by the uniqueness of their design style and design, since there are a lot of models of such watches. Even the most affordable smart watches, which in addition also have many additional options, can boast of an excellent design style.

Based on a study of inexpensive “smart” watches from a popular online store, specialists were able to find out a few interesting nuances.

 Soon the New Year is a holiday that is hard to imagine without gifts. And every year you must rack your brains: what to give to loved ones? Perfume is fed up, and everyone chooses it for himself, but it is difficult to guess. Souvenirs will remain souvenirs on the shelf.

Even tablets and laptops today are no longer original. But it turns out that among the gadgets you can pick up something else new and interesting. Many do not even suspect some of these models.

 From January 7 to 10, a large-scale exhibition CES 2020 was held in Las Vegas, where unique technological developments were presented. This is the most anticipated event in the whole world, gathering annually about 200 thousand visitors. Many companies are eager to get to this event, so that all people know about the products presented. Samsung was no exception. It has been participating in this technology exhibition for many years and presents her customers unique products.

 In their attempts to sell an unnecessary new smartphone model, companies are ready to do anything. Every few months, another presentation of the revolutionary gadget takes place. Yes, recently, all the changes were quite predictable: more RAM, better camera, updated design. However, 2019 was marked by interesting new products: several companies introduced gadgets with folding screens. The developers made statements in such cases about a technological breakthrough and a new era of smartphones. However, only the market could put everything in its place. Toward the end of the year, smartphones and tablets with flexible screens began to go on sale.

Collectibles

There are many examples of unsuccessful products in the history of technology companies. Business giants were so keen on their own ideas that the result of the experiments was a strange and very expensive equipment that was not in consumer demand.

When gadgets with fading displays were first introduced to the public, analysts and ordinary skeptics wondered: does anyone really need this?

Samsung became the pioneer again, the first to release futuristic gadgets in free swimming. Devices from the Galaxy Fold line can already be bought and until the end of 2019 they will be available worldwide.

So far, we can judge technology mainly from reviews made by bloggers and journalists. This is not surprising: Galaxy Fold devices are much more expensive than their most expensive competitors. But buying the latest iPhone model, you know exactly what you get: a powerful and reliable gadget with an excellent camera that will last for many years (or until you get bored). Give a few thousand dollars, albeit for a revolutionary, but still a pig in a poke, while few users want.

It makes no sense to talk about Galaxy Fold devices in familiar terms: in terms of memory and camera power, they are not inferior to the closest competitors. Of interest is not the diagonal of the external screen, but the ability to deploy the device to gain access to the huge internal display.

The idea is so incompatible with our idea of ​​smartphones that the reviews often recall the sci-fi series “World of the Wild West”. In it, the amusement park staff manages the androids using folding tablets with huge screens.

It is unclear whether Samsung employees were inspired by the impressive picture, or the creators of the series caught the idea that was in the air. It remains to answer the question: does an ordinary person really need a device with two screens - familiar and super-large? Will he find a place in everyday life and in his coat pocket? After all, mobile devices must be primarily mobile, otherwise their whole meaning is lost.

 The XAPK file is a compressed Android package. XAPK is a completely new standard for Android APK package files. It contains the entire APK file and the obb cache file to support Android games and applications.

 If something happens to a regular keyboard, for example, it is out of order or is simply missing, Windows provides the ability to connect an on-screen keyboard, and then click on virtual keys with a mouse or other pointing device. The on-screen keyboard is displayed on the monitor and looks like a regular keyboard. All keys on it are in the standard way. Keyboard shortcuts also work as standard.

The smartphone market is actively developing. Today, more and more users choose a device without relying on the technical characteristics of the device. The brand and a few other criteria are key to many. For a while, people have tried to buy smartphones with Qualcomm processors, as they have a high frequency. Also, these gadgets have good optics. But then everything changed.
