2018 may well be the last year that 4G is a big deal, because at least one local telco plans to lift its game before 2020, readying 5G services across our big nation.
Another Mobile World Congress, another new Samsung phone, and this one is ready for prime time faster than ever before. So what’s changed, and is it worth the upgrade?
Android phones with a memory card slot are given a bit of room to work with, expanding the storage simply by adding a card. But by how much? Well, if a new card is any indication, a whole lot.
The revival of Nokia’s phones by HMD Global is going to produce some very interesting products this year, as Nokia endeavours to hit benchmarks with across the board.
Unsurprisingly, there’s some pretty solid hype for Samsung’s next phone, and the telcos feel the same. So with its release not even a month away, what’s being offered for Australian buyers?
While budget is going to be a big deal at Mobile World Congress, cameras are also important, too, and that will be a key feature of Sony’s push for mobile dominance in 2018.
Last year’s Samsung Galaxy S flagships changed the way we saw the world, with open screens that seemed to bleed into real life. This year, the camera will make that big picture even bigger.
The mid-range squeeze may well and truly be changing what you get for a low price in the smartphone world, but at least one manufacturer is keen to stamp its name all over value, as Alcatel demonstrates.
