Speaker 1: A flexible phone that bends around your wrist. Small computer and laptop screens that can be worn as pins. You can actually see through it. These are just some of the cool devices and concepts we saw at Mobile World Congress, an annual technology conference held in Barcelona. After combing showroom floors and watching countless demos, CNET brings you the gadgets that stood out the most. First is Motorola’s wearable phone concept. That’s exactly right.device [00:00:30] It functions as a phone when laid flat, but you can also wrap it around your wrist like a bracelet. Attach to the magnetic strap on your wrist to lock it in place. Without spending more time with it, it’s difficult to understand exactly what the benefits of such a device are, other than eliminating the need to buy both a smartwatch and a phone. Speaker 1: But the idea of a screen that can change shape depending on your needs is certainly interesting. However, please note that this is just a concept and not an actual product. [00:01:00] It’s available for sale, but I don’t know if it will actually be sold. Instead, it just shows what Motorola’s technology is capable of and how it might be applied to future devices. Motorola isn’t the only company thinking about wearable technology. Samsung unveiled its upcoming smart ring, Galaxy Ring, at Mobile World Congress. The company plans to launch it later this year. Samsung gave us a sneak peek of the Ring in January, but this week we got a closer look. The ring is mainly [00:01:30] It works as a health tracker that monitors women’s sleep activity, heart rate, monthly cycle tracking, and more. Details are still awaited, but it’s exciting to see a major company like Samsung entering the smart ring space. Speaker 1: If it lives up to expectations, it could be a stylish alternative to a smartwatch for people who just want a health tracker without feeling tied to their phone all the time. A startup called Humane has big ideas about where mobile technology is going. [00:02:00] Powered by AI, PIN is essentially a wearable personal assistant. You can use it to translate languages, ask questions, and receive incoming messages. Unlike most wearable devices, the Humane AI Pin functions as a standalone device rather than an accessory to your phone. It doesn’t have a screen, but it uses a laser to project images and text onto your hand. Yes, it’s a laser. We also saw some traditional devices that really stood out, including the Shall me 14 Ultra. [00:02:30] X me’s new top-of-the-line phone has a huge camera sensor with variable aperture, which should be a dream come true for photographers. On top of that, it’s loaded with a lot of the hardware you’d expect from a high-end phone, including Qualcomm’s latest mobile chip, a large 5,000mA battery, and 90W fast charging. But Xmi isn’t just showing off phones. The company’s first electric vehicle. Xmi, SU Seven also appeared on the show Speaker 2: In eye-catching blue [00:03:00] color. Using Xiaomi’s own custom-built electric motor, the company says the vehicle should be able to accelerate from zero to 60 degrees in less than three seconds and have a range of more than 470 miles on a single charge. . It remains to be seen how these claims hold up in real-world scenarios, but the SEU 7’s promising performance and sleek appearance certainly caught our attention. It’s no exaggeration to say you’ve never seen a laptop screen like this.Lenovo’s new concept laptop has a transparent display [00:03:30] Viewable through digital touchscreen keyboard. The idea is to turn a traditional laptop into something that can act as a digital whiteboard. See-through screens allow you to overlay content onto the real world, creating an effect similar to augmented reality devices. But again, this is just a concept and means you shouldn’t expect to buy a see-through laptop right away. So, what was your favorite thing about Mobile World Congress?
