hello everyone this is high metal be better from pocketnow.com and this is Angela denied and mwc has just finished we're here at Barcelona everything's being packed up here at the feeder and well let's talk about the things that we liked about the show and obviously what we didn't like okay so our general thoughts about mwc was that while the show was well organized I could probably say that it was even better organized at CES at least transportation wise at least the boots wise i think the company's brought even more stuff but i was again just like CES expecting more i wish i could have seen more devices at the yesterday's mwc was probably a little bit bigger and i don't know i feel that everything was just incremental Yeah right because you know devices the device wise i was at least personally expecting more quad cores everything was about quad core the anticipation the buzz but we got a couple of phones which were quad core than a couple of tablets but at the end of the day it was either quad core for Wi-Fi or 3g only because of the limitations someone with snapdragon dual cores it's a little bit iffy plus ice cream sandwich it was missing we had it but still we had some phones like so many phones which were running Gingerbread exactly exactly yeah we had HTC running for example how they had ice cream sandwich but just think about it I mean they brought their 1 z 1 V was it yeah one day and it wasn't even ready for the show and well we were expecting the HTC Quattro nowhere to be found so mwc was good but frankly we're expecting something better okay now so about Android and this is the fourth show it was this year's MVC it was last year's NBC was this year's CES and last year's CES Android was all over I mean Windows Phone of course was present but they are still playing catch-up we saw three pose to nokia and ones that TV phone and we saw millions of angry android it's got what it takes to be present on the market they are constantly pushing with updates with new incremental versions when this phone is still catching up and of course other platforms are insignificant yeah probably one of the things that I like the most about Android is that definitely we wanted to see ICS and everything but I have to agree with Tony and the fact that we saw more ICS this year that we saw gingerbread last year so definitely things are working better it seems that Android Google are working better with OEMs and pushing ICS to their new devices and not having froyo devices being launched and the quantity that we have last year in comparison to Gingerbread so yeah I feel that the state of Android is positive it's innovating icss were dead where it has to be Joe Levi disagrees a little bit in his passive to Tory oh but I understand Joe and the fact that well it could be better it should definitely be better it should be even more unified but I think that Google is doing a good job and we'll probably see even better innovation and shows to come probably ctia okay let's talk about the state of Windows Phone I mean honestly Microsoft is one of those companies that even rent the hotel at the other side of the road just to come all out with everything we were expecting more about Windows Phones I mean we pretty much like Tony introduced right now we only got a couple of devices there's nothing new about some of them I mean we're really not sure what's going on with Microsoft we were expecting this really big boom but sadly the whole show floor is taken by Windows 8 in a mobile world congress surely Windows 8 is going to be all about tablets eventually but it currently is and it's still in customer preview so I don't I don't know what's going on I think maybe that's normal maybe they are somehow preparing for windows 8 and maybe Windows Phone 8 and leaving windows phone 7 as it is right now we were expecting tango and the only device running to angle what the new ZTE orbit we were expecting some new phones like we had seen the LG miracle Windows Phone being licked or or maybe the new Sony prototype which has been leaked last year but instead we got to nokia phones the 900 which is really not a new phone was introduced with a TNC over at CES and the new 610 three phones Microsoft this is not the Aegean and by far even high-end yeah lumia 900 was pretty much the only thing you know home exactly exactly so kind of disappointed it Windows Phone we love the platform I mean hey you're an MVC gonna be seen here in MVP I mean it we love the platform we couldn't agree more with where Microsoft is taking things we just wish we saw more momentum so again this could probably be a show floor for ctia for windows phone we're hoping that's going to be the story we were expecting some there's one more thing I mean windows 8 and probably say hey this is Windows Phone 8 which is Apollo and here's what's coming up probably being released in the fall this was the perfect time frame for that to happen sadly it's not have any one more thing I was expecting maybe at least one HTC windows phone agree they had something at CES but that was made night in the Titan to I was expecting the Titan shoot to be launched in Europe oh yeah true that's a good point they do your little camera coming it was in the case and and that's another thing I mean no 16 megapixel camera come out to the 1-series no but we have the 808 that we'll talk about that soon yeah okay so now that we talked about a couple of things which we did not like let's see what we really liked and i'm referring to devices what were those hot devices which which impressed you and maybe what were those devices which will be your next devices as far as I'm concerned my next phone will be the same as my next tablet is the bathroom it's something new it's something interesting it's a concept which we all know about and this goes for android of course it's ICS and as long as Windows Phone is concerned I'll have to go with the Lumia 900 but really because you don't have to sure exactly but maybe just maybe i'll pass on the Lumia 900 and get the PureView 808 I love that phone how about you having okay my case particularly I think HCC was the company that went all out this year I mean the 1-series was probably what we were expecting every other HTC phone looks exactly the same so it's like why not just make one series of phones and keep keep the same name the One X is definitely going to be my next device I probably debated why did we get polycarbonate on the one x and y did we get the aluminum backing on the 1's but still i mean i think that the specs of the 1x are beautiful the whole ecosystem around the 1x with the whole car dock with the whole media hub that we reviewed i think that the whole banana looks just promising for the future hcc i think they figured it out i think they figured out that it's not just about the phone it's not just about a ton of phones it's not about doing everything it's about doing one thing and doing it right so i think the 1-series is probably the best thing i mean aside from that well tablets um I'd have to agree with you I'd like I like the PadFone but then the day the phone a single tablet okay the because nothing to work without the photo I know I know but but still I feel that if it wasn't the one x for example we definitely got the the Sony Xperia S that we're currently reviewing this is probably the second phone that I liked and probably the the reason why I liked it and we're going to show you in a video soon is about the smart tabs I mean they figured some of the smart tags more tabs on the NFC technology that's built into these phones in the whole ecosystem around them all the apps that are included in the phone and the software Maria will show you soon I think that it's really good and then decide from that theah souza the the other transformer yeah the said that the infinity 700 was really good we had a lot of really good devices and then we have a lot of Chinese devices that were not even going to rise talk about so that was the good part let's talk about the bad now ok so talking about the bad things let's start with the phones everybody knew that there will be no samsung galaxy s3 at the show but samsung run a couple of low-end mid-end phones like the Samsung Galaxy Beam the h2 the minutes you and the galaxy s advance I mean those are new phones of course but people want to see high-end devices they want to see quad-core that aside ZTE and this is a personal experience of mine I wanted to film a hands-on with the Zetas but it's awkward it's a quad-core Yates it's got Tegra free and i picked up the unit and it didn't it not only had no gorilla glass on it it has plastic and it was full of scratches like my like my sunglasses so i decided to ask for another unit and they didn't have one so i just passed on that video for cheap devices there of course slow and cheap budget devices but i think they should do better my biggest disappointment here was LG I mean I think that LG still can't figure it out first of all well they brought a couple of good phones but you saw our review of the 4x I mean it completely crashed and and here's the deal a lot of people in the YouTube comments are telling us hey you're being too hard on them it's like this is a show floor and it's open to the press we're definitely going to bash something that doesn't work and sadly none of the LG devices work as we expected the three final why should I show it exactly i mean i think that yeah we're complaining about the HTC One V not even being available but I think that that was like the smartest thing to do if it's not ready if the ROM is not ready just don't come and show it i mean with it we can't we can't talk good about something that's unfinished and for them to not having to eat enough respect for the press to do things completely well for us to either talk good about or talk bad so you've been told that the experience will be the same as on the One X think so they told you say exactly so in my case in particular for example LG LG needs to figure it out their new UI for Android looks good but it was crashing it wasn't working and then hey the l7 l3 l5 forget about those phones i mean we started filming the hands out of the l7 and you know i'll probably upload it just to have it there in YouTube but to be honest with you it wasn't even worth it it was a terrible device sadly nothing that I was expecting and then obviously Huawei why didn't we even yeah we had a couple of videos of Huawei uh we can also upload those just to have him in YouTube yeah but sadly guys I mean Huawei they went all out they had cars they had the show floor everything said Huawei everything scream wanhua way except their phones and accept their tablets except that one essen phone which we really saw at CES they brought up to nvc it's a little bit of improvement but it's not the a game which they need to get into the market exactly that's the only way they're gonna get a game show sadly for us I mean I feel that LG LG come on you're capable of more you're right now on the rocks you really need to do some work so next time let's let's hope that you get your act together you really need some top people your engineering the design was beautiful but if the software is not there it's not going to sell yeah I'm rula they brought popping let's forget about more oh no they didn't even bring anything to see yes true so anyways that's it okay so to end our mwc coverage let's talk about our biggest winners in our biggest loser in my particular case Tony I have to be honest with you I think that definitely Sony went all out but gingerbread totally killed though you got the sticker on the boxes that says it'll be upgradeable to Ice Cream Sandwich question when questioned when nope specific dates let's say they said and the VAP row Sony could have been the winner if only they would have brought ICS on their phones my biggest winner right now is HTC they've not only brought ICS but I'm a big fan of sense since four point Ellen sense four-point-oh was beautiful again I it was sluggish in the in the dual core I hope they were find it in the end when we tested in the quad core it was definitely there i feel that HTC is on the right track for me they're the biggest winner and obviously for me the biggest loser sadly LG I was expecting more as i mentioned and well tablets well you know I was waiting for more tablets that's my particular case I mean what's your biggest winner pretty well there's not too many to choose from really but a sous really had three great tablets on the show they got quad core and they got the bat phone that's an awesome product I don't know if it will sell well but it's a new concept so for me definitely a sous is the winner in tablet if they price it right it's gonna be a killer the price is what I'm afraid of most yeah and in terms of phones I'd say that the biggest loser is nakia of course they got B nine hundred and they got a PureView 808 but everybody expected more they're not yet everybody wants them to rule the market as they once ruled and this is their market I mean exactly its home turf okay so right now what we've got next to ctia and we've also got something that's coming in next week the ipad 3 event agree i mean i think that this was the opportunity for companies to tell the market hey forget about the ipad this is Sue's tablet is better and then you look at the ax sous coverage of the azuz exposure I mean they had their booth everything was nice no fancy keynote great show mobile yeah I mean a sous was probably the biggest winner in tablets there was no sluggishness on ICS on the asuste tablet they performed perfectly I think a sous is probably going to be like the winner and tablets from here on sadly the ACC Quattro nowhere to be found if it ever will have nobody knows that but the sous should have tried to push the tablets harder everybody knew the iPad cream was coming as time I said this would have been their chance this would have been their chance we already know that Android totally dominates the market it doesn't really matter if Apple brings anymore iPhones Android would still be the dominating platform but again huh tablets this was the show for tablets and sadly it wasn't it could be ctia we're not really sure but it could be that companies are waiting for the ipad 3 to come out for them to come out with whatever they're going to come out next yeah sure probably ctia is going to see more phones and more tablets than ever will show in they of course IFA so we're definitely going to be covering each of these events hopefully we'll see you there thank you very much for
