Some of the phones were presented with 64-bit processors that are part of the technological evolution. In practice, the benefits for the end user will not be tangible for the time being.

Tablets

The trend previously mentioned does not omit tablets either. On the contrary! From fashionable and expensive technological accessories upon their first appearance, tablets have gone a long way in their development. The compact tablets in the price range of up to € 200 and screen size of 7-8 inches have become the best-selling devices. The trend we see at IFA is the input of better and quality materials in this class of devices.

We begin with Sony that offered a compact and stylish 8-inch tablet, The Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact. The device is stylish and has all the features of the Xperia series, including water resistance. Of course, style has its price and the different models of the tablet start at € 379 and go as high as € 449 for the top model. Definitely, this tablet is for people who pay attention to appearance.

Asus is known for its devices at a reasonable price. Until recently the tablets in the price range of about € 200 have not been famous for their especially "premium" appearance but the new model will change this. Memo Pad 7 is thin and light and looks like a beautiful fashion accessory. Its technical specifications are more than acceptable for the price and the device will certainly appeal not only to the fans of the brand.

Lenovo presented TAB S8, which is the first 8-inch tablet of the Chinese manufacturer with Android and Intel processor. Again, we see quality materials and a striving to create a light and easy to use device. Its colours vary by region and include ivory, yellow, pearl white and blue.

Finally, we will present a really cool tablet, in a very literal sense. Samsung presented Galaxy Active Tab, an 8-inch tablet resistant to falling from 1.2 m due to its protective coating. The tablet is also dust resistant and waterproof, and comes with a stronger version of the S Pen stylus called C Pen that offers an alternative form of entering when using gloves. If you are a fan of extreme activities and want to have a tablet in hand, Galaxy Active Tab is right for you.

Wearable devices - smart watches, bracelets, glasses

Samsung introduced its next "smart" watch that is named Gear S. The design looks familiar and has a Gear S 2-inch curved display. The watch has a micro SIM card slot that will allow you to make phone calls, send and receive text messages, and connect to the Internet (albeit with limited functionality) without the need of a connected smartphone. It is interesting to note that the Korean company continues to impose its Tizen operating system on smart watches.

Another interesting accessory is Gear VR, a virtual reality helmet. For now, it will only work with Galaxy Note 4. The interesting device offers expected features such as suppressing the background noise and voice recorder. It also has a QUAD HD resolution. Gear VR allows you to make full 360-degree panoramic images and videos. The company hopes that the product will become popular among users, the concept of Samsung being for users to employ Gear VR for films and games.

LG presented G Watch R. The new watch is in the highest price range and will cost more compared to its competitors, but its unique design justifies this. The calfskin strap, due to its standard 22 mm size, can be easily replaced. The chassis of the watch is made ​​of high quality stainless steel. The watch has an all men’s appearance as well as a more aggressive and adventurous design.

Asus officially presented ZenWatch - its first smart watch with Android Wear. Contrary to expectations, ZenWatch proved to be a stylish accessory positioned in the high-end of wearable devices. The watch has a slight curve that follows the shape of the wrist and high quality leather strap.

The information flow continues and IFA has once again proved that it is an exhibition, which presents innovative technologies.
