the big announcements have all been made a tee for 2017 and you know what that means it's time for the Android Authority best Aviva Awards these are the five biggest products and technologies to come out of Europe's largest tech show the LGV 30 was the unchallenged star of the show and pretty much the only thing anyone could talk about in part because the phone will be shipping globally for the first time the V 30 looks great on paper and in the hand with the expectations build up with various leaks very much translating into real world experience Samsung will still ship a truckload more notates than LG ever will that the V 30 looks to be the most competitive device that company has ever made as with previous phones in the V Series a premium audio experience is baked into the V 30s DNA with the quad duct shipping on global units rather than only for select markets and the super fund dual camera photography experience also makes a comeback like the g6 before it the V 30 goes for a full-screen display with a characteristic second screen falling by the wayside to make room for it but there's now a new always-on display toggle bar that does much the same thing be sure to stay tuned for android authorities full review which will be coming in the near future Sony's smartphone range gains another couple of flagship devices but also brings back the popular compact range of more pocketable devices that pack flagship levels of power the best feature on the new xperia x said one and X said one compact is undoubtedly the 3-d Creator as Sony's camera team have been able to create an awesome 3d scanning app using just typical smartphone components 3d creator lets you scan someone's face or head or any other object and turn it into a high quality 3d avatar with incredible levels of detail but now you can use it with some of the preloaded AR apps on Sony's new devices but you'll soon be able to upload it as a gaming avatar or even 3d printed if you want to should you buy these devices just for that feature probably not but if you already like Sony's phones that 3d avatars could be the icing on the cake while some might consider 3d creator a bit of a gimmick the amount of fun it is and the range of applications that enables means it'll have a very bright future to keep an eye out for it where there was once just Google home there is now a Google assistant powered speaker by Sony called the LFS 50 G we're hoping that will change in time but seeing as Google assistant is on board you'll obviously be able to use it for all the same things you would otherwise use a Google home for but sony is packed in a few need features of its own and gestures for controlling the speaker and IP x3 splash-resistant certification and the clock on the side add a little more functionality to what Google Offers but these come at a slightly higher price than homes one hundred and twenty nine dollar price tag the Sony speaker will set you back two hundred dollars when it goes on sale in October but whether you think it's worth the extra cash or not at least you now have more options and another worthy competitor to Amazon's army of Alexis speakers more and more smartphones are dropping the headphone jack so to avoid joining the dongle life more and more people are turning to wireless audio in spite of what the audiophile say Bluetooth audio is plenty good enough for most people but what if there was a way to make it better French startup tempo is pushing the limits of what can be done inside the Bluetooth protocol and on the Moto X 4 we got to check out its creation Bluetooth wireless surround system bluetooth connections normally let you stream audio to a maximum of two devices at once that tempo uses software to agree to let you stream up to four devices you can control the volume and the balance between left and right on each individual channel and there's no limitations in terms of device type or brand whether it's a party amongst friends or to power your own mobile disco tempo makes it possible and although limited to the Moto X fourth and now it's set to come to other devices in the near future for the first time at fo Huawei
