MWC 2017 has come to a close but you know what that means for our end of the show coverage we have a lot of awards to give out and we want to present all of those devices to you in this hour best of MWC 2017 hey guys John Belasco here I'm going to quickly talk about some of the best of MWC 2017 awards that we gave up for tab times now the first one goes to the Samsung Galaxy Book 2 models available 10 inch 12 inch models and these are 2 convertible tablets Windows 10 tablets that have a lot of productivity they come with the S Pen and if you want a lot of horsepower you probably want to go with a 12 inch model because it features a Core i5 processor and it's pretty much a great competitor to the surface pro 4 and the other board goes to the Lenovo mix 320 also another Windows 10 power tablet featuring an Intel x5 processor up to 4 gigabytes of RAM and up to 128 gigabytes of internal storage it's pretty compact because it has a 10.1 inch 1920 by 1200 display also comes with Dolby advanced audio speakers and a detachable keyboard so you have that productivity element in play and they do claim up to 10 hours of battery life with it now we can move into the Android Authority Awards and what better phone to start off with than the LG G 6 the previous LG g5 was not a bad device but it wasn't necessarily received with the best reception and now with the LG G 6 we have what can only be described as the company's return to form one of the best parts about the G 6 is that it takes some of the best parts of the V 20 and the G 5 and then improves upon it in a number of different ways but if you haven't already seen our video on the LG G 6 you only have to know one thing about it that screen with an 18 by 9 aspect ratio we also have a screen on the g 6 that bleeds over to the very edges of the device basically making the bezel one of the most minimalistic parts of the phone it's a sight to behold and we think the LG G 6 is going to be one hell of a contender for 2017 while we continue a great line of devices would be Huawei P 10 and P 10 plus both the P 10 models are evolutions of the p9 with elements of the Huawei may 9 thrown in new features include the like a dual camera 2.0 under glass fingerprint sensor and in the case of the Huawei P 10 plus the first quad HD screen widely available on a Huawei flagship while we continues their prowess in creating very solid handsets and we give huawei aides a lot of credit for creating a very easy to use p10 and then a more premium feeling and more premium featured p10 plus and now this one shouldn't be too much of a surprise as we give an award to the BlackBerry ki one the ki one technically is it a new phone as we already saw at CES 2017 under the moniker mercury however it was still worth showing up for the key one because we get to see the full QWERTY keyboard in all of its glory once again and we see that the latest Android nougat OS and several BlackBerry iconic features are going to be making it into the device including the BlackBerry hub at blackberry tasks and a number of other blackberry applications that help get productivity out of the way and for any blackberry fans from the past you can indeed program shortcuts for all 52 different keys the key one is an exciting return to form for blackberry and we can't wait to get our hands on this particular device even with a bit of its nostalgia factor baked in the Sony Xperia XD premium is not the first 4k handset after all the first 4k handset was also created by Sony last year however it looks and feels like a Sony smartphone and it provides an excellent user experience that we've come to expect from the Xperia line as 4k HDR in its triluminos display a great build in the future said that is up there with the flagships that you see in the rest of this festive video unsurprisingly sony puts a lot of great features in the Xperia XZ premium including the ability to run 1080p natively to save battery and then hop over to 4k HDR when you really want to get some awesome content out of that screen one other great feature is a 960 frames per second slow motion recording which is part of sony's new camera sensor which we cannot wait to get our hands on and try out for a camera shootout and to see how it fares against the rest of the Android cameras space we throw it back to tablets for a little bit with the Lenovo tab 4 plus now it's an award that you may not have expected us to hand out but they created a tablet that is not only wonderful but it makes it clear that Lenovo still have space in the tablet ecosystem however they have created a bunch of tablets here that should be able to satisfy pretty much anyone looking for a larger screen experience all the way down to having 10-inch to 8-inch to premium versions of all of these fed tablets - even a kid's version that is available for children so that you can have them distracted while you try to play with your own tablet features include fingerprint sensors for the plus editions and a possible 64 gigabytes of storage with microSD card expansion now these tablets may not be the most powerful ones out there but we do applaud Lenovo for bringing back a smaller 8 inch form that we think is a bit of a dying art in the tablet game now we're always going to be happy to see the S Pen return to any Samsung devices and the Galaxy Tab s 3 was the marquee device for samsung here at MWC 2017 now while the S Pen is something that we're looking forward to in the next note device whenever it comes back it is arguably still the most refined and feature-rich stylus on any consumer device and we love to see it come to an even larger screen Android nukid OS comes here on a Snapdragon 820 chipset for the tab s3 and its 9.7 inch HD already quad HD AMOLED display provides all of the color that you would want coming from a large screen experience like this in the tab s3 we bring it on back to smartphones and over to Oppo which we actually haven't seen a whole lot of in recent months however Oppo has come out of the woodwork at MWC 2017 with the 5x zoom now the 5x zoom camera prototype provides optical zoom not digital zoom and the result is a lossless quality as you zoom in without needing a bulky camera lens this seamless and high-quality zoom on a small form factor for a phone is one of the first for mobile phones and it's possible that Oppo is thinking rather cleverly about how to circumvent the usual problem with a thick optical zoom lens we can't wait for the first phone's potentially from Oppo to ship with this new camera array and finally perhaps the most unconventional of them all but we still saved the best for last if you're looking for a nostalgia factor look no further than the Nokia 3310 pretty much anybody with the smartphone these days can probably trace their origins back to Nokia's original virtually undestructible device and while Nokia did have a show where they announced major flagships it was a sub 50 euro feature phone that everyone was really enamored with Nokia remade the 33 10 and in doing so confirms they know how to generate the hype now even if the circumstances surrounding the Nokia 3310 don't necessarily scream Nokia's own doing it is still a phone that a lot of people have already said at this show that they want their hands on and it's not the most feature packed phone obviously because it's not a smart phone but you can still play snake on it and with that sub 50 euro price point pretty much everybody wants to have it as their secondary device the 3310 won the award because we felt it was the best representation of Nokia at MWC while they are back in the smartphone game there's no better way for them to bring back all of the hype surrounding the company than with a phone that we all want to get our hands on and so there you have it our picks for best of MWC 2017 it's in a great show and of course beautiful barcelona was a wonderful backdrop for a lot of these devices that we were really happy to have at the Mobile World Congress show of 2017 mainly because we have things like the g6 we returning Nokia the blackberry q10 a lot to love at this show so keep it tuned to Android authority for even more about all of these devices and don't forget to head over to tab time so you can see further coverage of those two products that we gave awards to here in this video after that you can subscribe to this channel if you haven't already and look forward to our reviews -
