The Smartphones get smarter

LG g5

HTC, LG, Samsung and Microsoft all showcased the application of latest technologies in the upcoming devices. LG’s effort to launch the “next big thing” has materialised in the form of the G5 which is a serious experiment, which if it goes well, will be supremely impressive. It has a modular slot which slides out of the bottom to accommodate bigger battery or camera.

The Galaxy S6 was a hit and with the S7 there are minor improvements over the previous version such as new specs, better camera and a curvier body. There is a new 360-degree camera with Gear VR headsets that will add novelty to the S7.

The CAT S60 thermal camera phone is the novel introduction with built-in FLIR back camera. CAT launched its smartphone range a few years back with Android operating system. Finding people stuck in wreckages, checking temperature and spotting hotspots are some of the enticing features this smartphone is equipped with. In addition to this,CAT S60 is waterproof, drop-proof to 1.8M and elements like dust, heat, shock and more cannot damage it.
