Application to connect phone and computer
Motorola and its parent company Lenovo have just introduced a Windows 11 app that promises to make multitasking on mobile easier. Called Smart Connect, the app turns your Windows 11 laptop into a docking station that can connect to any Motorola smartphone and Lenovo tablet.
Smart Connect works by syncing your computer with select Motorola phones, including the Motorola Razr, Motorola Edge, Motorola G. The app also connects to Lenovo Tabs.
Transparent screen laptop
Lenovo brings to MWC 2024 a concept laptop with a transparent screen. The Lenovo ThinkBook Transparent Display Concept looks like a device from the future with a completely transparent 17.3-inch mini LED screen.
According to Lenovo, the LED-based display has a brightness of 1,000 nits and allows for a see-through display on the back of the screen. This enables some AI features like locating objects placed behind the transparent screen.
Phone wrapped around the wrist
Motorola also showed off a unique concept based on a bendable smartphone. Its phone can be wrapped around the wrist and worn like a smartwatch.
Equipped with a 6.9-inch FHD+ pOLEd display, it “transforms” into many different versions such as a smartwatch, folds into a stand or acts as a tent for use on both sides.
The idea of a phone that can change shape as desired is appealing, but it raises questions about durability. Still, it shows that the foldable smartphone market is still looking for new designs.
Smart Ring
Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Ring, a smart ring that the company has been teasing since last month. Available in black, gold, and silver, the Galaxy Ring looks like a regular ring but can track sleep and other health metrics.
The ring calculates the wearer’s “vitality score” based on a combination of measurements. The ring is compatible with many Android phones, but not iPhones.
Xiaomi 14
At MWC 2024, the Chinese phone company introduced the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Ultra, equipped with a powerful camera. The most notable feature on the Ultra is the Leica 4-lens camera cluster, including a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a pair of 50MP telephoto cameras, with a 32MP selfie camera in the front.
Xiaomi also pushes AI features like Portrait AI, which creates a hyper-realistic AI model of you or someone else based on 20 photos and then places that model into the scene or image of your choice.
Honor Magic 6 Pro
Xiaomi isn't the only company bringing new phones to MWC 2024. Honor also took the opportunity to show off the Magic 6 Pro, promising big improvements to photography and battery life.
Additionally, the built-in large language model helps enable features like creating short videos using available photos and videos, via prompts.
According to Honor, Magic 6 Pro supports AI-based eye tracking, detecting which notification the user is looking at on the screen to open the relevant app without clicking.
