2015-10-05
this episode is brought to you by domain.com now imagine what will happen when we no longer have to look at the World Wide Web through these tiny little screens and wove is beginning to show us the light the SmartWatch ecosystem is growing fast but not all wearables need to adhere to the watch form factor in order to be successful enter both the product of the decade old flexible electronics specialist poly era unlike devices like the Samsung gear fit or LG G flex smartphones which feature curved displays fixed in place by non flexible glass the wove band is actually flexible itself and can be bent over and over without damage thanks to a technology called digital fabric that's why Paul II era Bills wove as the world's first truly flexible display product low features an e-ink flexible display of 10 40 by 200 resolution with its surface totalling about five times the surface of a typical SmartWatch display the device is powered by a one gigahertz freescale cortex a7 processor 512 megabytes of RAM four gigabytes of internal storage and 230 milliamp hour battery because it employs electronic ink similar to pebble products which only consume power during animations you can expect excellent battery life now I know what some of you are thinking you're thinking Jace come on that's all great but that's still a relatively small display but think about the possibilities when anything can become a display when you're not worried about being precious and delicate with your device anything can be sent information to display information for you a wall a window your table heck your refrigerator door can become a display then we're not bound to these blocky devices to view the world wide web could be amazing think about it no HTC was really busy this week so let's start with the HTC One m9 plus supreme camera the new version is officially called the one m9 plus supreme camera yes really trading out the 20 megapixel sensor for the m9 plus for a 21 megapixel camera with OAS and laser autofocus while the m9 plus had duo camera lenses this time the m9 + supreme camera offers the laser autofocus system in the second rear cameras place outside of the upgraded camera the new m9 + variant is pretty much the same phone as before that means you get a 5.2 inch qHD display and a mediatek mt6752 end processor with 3 gigabytes of RAM other specs include 32 gigabytes of internal storage front-facing speakers a fingerprint scanner and a twenty 840 million power battery at least for now the m9 + supreme camera is only slated to arrive in Taiwan starting October 6 with a price point of about 630 dollars considering the modest improvements we sincerely doubt the phone will ever officially make its way outside of Asia now let's talk the HTC butterfly 3 the handset boasts some cutting edge specifications that arguably make it more of a flagship than this year's one m9 the hardware remains the same as before offering a 5.2 inch display with qHD that's 2560 by 1440 gigabytes of RAM a 32 gigabytes of internal storage with micro SD card support if you need more there is also a 27 hundred million power battery dual front-facing boomsound speakers quick charge 2.0 support an IP X 5 and X 7 certifications for water and dust resistance now one of the more interesting features of the butterfly 3 is the dual rear camera setup which offers a 20 megapixel sensor that is able to capture additional depth information much like the HTC One m8 the rear camera also features optical image stabilization and a dual LED flash on the front there's a 13 megapixel camera for some high resolution selfies the HTC butterfly 3 is scheduled to arrive in Taiwan on October 20th with a retail price of around 600 bucks now let's talk about what Krystal learned which you got our hands on the LG urbane 2 SmartWatch the new LG watch urbane sports a similar design to the original albeit with a more refined look at this time around cosmetics aside the biggest difference is under the hood as the urbane 2 is the first Android wear device to feature cellular connectivity that means you not only can connect via bluetooth or Wi-Fi but also with 3G or 4G giving you greater and pendants from your smartphone the urbane two utilizes a nano-sim and is not carrier locked giving you the freedom to use it with whatever network you choose that means you can now leave your phone at home and still have access to your emails messages and all your other important data the watch urbane 2 packs the best specs of any Android wear SmartWatch to

pixel resolution for an excellent 348 pixels per inch for comparison the next best display is the Huawei watch at 400 by 400 pixels now the watch is thick compared to other smartwatches but crystal
