MWC 2017: Samsung Galaxy books come pre-loaded with Windows 10

by

Samsung dodged releasing a highly charged mobile device at the MWC and instead opted to reveal two new Windows 10 laptops. They might look similar to the Tab S3 which was also announced at the event but are fundamentally serving an entirely different purpose as desktop replacements.

The larger Book 12 has 3:2 aspect ratio on the display which also comes with 10-bit HDR support which is quite rare to see in portable devices. Everything has received an update from the redesigned S Pen Stylus to the backlit keyboard with better key spacing and travel. The 3 position stand is collapsible which protects the device as well as makes it highly suitable as an on-the-go device. Needless to say but it can also be detached and used exclusively as a tablet while writing with the stylus.

The smaller and lesser powered Book 10 doesn’t feature all the bells and whistles from the Book 12 but instead is laser focused on bridging the gap between being small enough to carry everywhere and large enough to do tasks with ease.

The devices can sync with Samsung smartphones to deliver notifications or text messages on a bigger screen. For added security, the fingerprint sensor on the smartphone can be used to unlock the Book. The company also made a passing mention of a new VR headset to succeed the Gear VR.

Indian pricing and release date haven’t been mentioned.

Updated Samsung A series comes with IP68 rating

by

Samsung announced the latest refresh of the Galaxy A series with a trinity of devices including the A3,A5 and A7. The smartphones feature a premium metal frame and 3D glass back with sleek buttons.

The cameras in the devices have been enhanced with improvements resulting in stability, accurate autofocus and clear photos even in low light conditions. Taking selfies has been further made easier as touching anywhere on the screen snaps a high resolution selfie with the floating camera button. The display can also be used as a front flash for bright pictures. Further the camera uses a simplified UX including easy swipe to quickly change modes or instant filters to activate picture effects.

Taking a page out of the higher end models, the A series for the first time offers IP68 water and dust resistance which can withstand the elements including rain, sweat, sand and dust. The A5 and A7 come equipped with Fast Charge while the Type-C port on all 3 models takes it one step further into the current generation. An Always On Display helps users save time and battery by letting them quickly glance at the time or calendar without touching the device.
