Android TV

Nowdays, we couldn´t live without the Internet and each day, more and more home appliances can be connected to the Internet. Google want to do our lives easier and more comfortable and the American company has presented Android TV, a new way to watch television. They tried to do it in the past, doing possible have android in a TV, but it wasn´t well adapted and the navigation was very uncomfortable because, we have to controll an OS designed for touchscreens with a TV control.

But Android TV is optimized for use it on
televisions. The system is ready to change of screen in every moment because its always working in second plane. The home screen shows you recommended videos and next there is a division between the google services (which have a completely new interface) is and other APPs. All the interface comes with material desingn and it looks like Android 5.0.




If you don´t want to use the TV controll, there is an option of voice searching, which can be used pressing the microphone icon on the TV controll. Also, there is a gme controller, to play games on TV and which can be used too to surf among the screens.




We can use TV Android with the Nexus Player for 99 euros or you can buy the new Sony or Samsung smart TVs, Also, exist alternatives in the market, that are cheaper, but the quality is not the same.

At this moment, we can´t install all the applications that can be used in tablet or smartphone, but Google is working hard to do Android  TV comfortable and usable for everyone.

I think that in the future will have Smart TV where see whatever he want when he want and not wait to see his favourite series, program or TV contest.

Samsung Gear S2

The smartwatches world is becoming each day more common. Nowadays, you can see a person speaking to his watch while he´s walking on the street and you won´t think he´s crazy.


Samsung has presented the Samsung Gear S2, his new high-branche smartwatch.
The most relevant aspect is its spheric and compact screen. The past Samsung model screen was too big and some people complained about it bothered on they wrist so, the Korean branch has reduced the screen size in their new smartwatch.

The Gear S2 has two models: the Gears S2 classic and the Gear S2. Both are the same size, the same thickness(11.4 mm) and it´s protected against scratches, because it has Gorilla Glass 3. But the Gear S2 classic materials are metal, ceramics and leather and the Gear S2 is only make with plastic.

To finish, it has a storage of 4 GB and 512 MB
of RAM, it has IP68, so it´s waterproof, it works at 1GHz and it comes with 3G, NFC and it has a SIM card port.

LG G5 and its friends

Hi! I´m Hugo and this is my first post. In this blog  I am going to write about technology.
Particulary about mobile phone and gadgets but I´m going to write about robotic and new technological projets.

                                                

Today, I´m going to write about LG G5 and his friends,  this gadgets designed by LG for his new high-range smarthphone. Some people see the friends like unnecessary gadgets that should be incluided inside the phone and that LG only want to leave us without money. However, I think that it is a very important step for the future of modular smartphones.

If we compare LG G5 with LG G4 it hasn´t changed a lot. G5 is more powerful,and it has a better processor, a Snapdragon 820, that works to 2,15GHz 4GB of RAM and 554ppp. The other specifications are equal in both smartphones, however the LG G5  has fingerprint. If we speak about software, the G5 comes with android Marshmallow , and the G4 with Lollipop, but it can be actualizable to android 6.0.

Another reason to buy the LG G5 are its 'friends'. The friends are diferent units that can be implemented on the phone and that improve it caractheristics and increase it possibilities.

The  LG CAM plus has 4 buttons: THE ON/OFF switch, the button for make the pictures, other for the video and the zoom wheel, apart from the LED indicator.
