I am currently staying in Germany for "CEBIT PREVIEW" held in Hannover, Germany.I went to consumer electronics retailers and carrier shops using the free time.
Speaking of German consumer electronics retailers, SATURN.Following the visit to Munich in December 2015, he visited Hamburg, Hannover and Dusseldorf this time.Especially the stores at Hamburg Central Station are large and worth seeing
Galaxy A series (2016) is now on sale
As the latest smartphone in Samsung, I found the 2016 model of the "Galaxy A" series.It was a new model just announced at the end of 2015, with two models, "Galaxy A3 (2016)" and "Galaxy A5 (2016)".
Until now, it was a middle range A series, which has little to do with Japan, but KDDI's first launch of "Galaxy A8" has been improved.In the future, it is a product line you want to expect, including SIM -free introduction in Japan.
Samsung is the largest European smartphone section.The 2016 model of the "Galaxy A" series was lined up as the latest model announced at the end of last year.
5."Galaxy A5 (2016)" of type 2 display.It was slightly heavier than the previous model, and the battery capacity increased.Because it is a new product, the price is 429 euros (about 55,000 yen), and it is not very good compared to the S6 499 euros (about 64,000 yen).
The exterior of the 2016 edition is a combination of metal and glass, and the atmosphere follows the Galaxy S6.You can think of it as a low -priced S6 with a suppressed specifications
Galaxy A5 (2016) is newly compatible with Samsung Pay and fingerprint sensor."MST", which is characterized by a conventional magnetic card reader, is also installed.It is an impression that it is a strategic terminal with a view to the spread of Samsung Pay.Unlike the S6, it corresponds to the maximum 128GB microSD, which responds to the demands of the middle range market.
This is the same as the iPhone 6s 4.7 -inch display "Galaxy A3 (2016)".Although the exhibition machine had "Japanese" in the language setting, the display became a Chinese font.
Basically, it is a small version of A5 (2016), but it is not equipped with Samsung Pay or fingerprint sensor.It is cheap at 329 euros (about 42,000 yen)
The latest gadgets such as Windows 10 Mobile, HTC, German Galaho
Windows 10 Mobile is also exciting in Japan, but in Germany, the Windows Phone sales floor was relatively large, so the old model of the Lumia series is noticeable.There are few third -party terminals like Japan, and Lumia is the center so far.
In Europe, where Windows Phone is relatively common, dedicated sales floors are often found.Windows 10 Mobile is 3 models: Lumia 950, 950 XL, and 550
Depending on the store, there is also a Demo corner of Continuum for PhoneS using Lumia 950 and Display Dock.This is an exhibition method seen in the Microsoft Store in the United States.
Emporia terminals were unique at the feature phone corner.At first glance, it is a hybrid mobile phone that can be used like a smartphone, even though it is a feature phone equipped with a large numeric keypad, and it is an impression of a German version of Galaho.
Exhibited at IFA 2015 (http://wekly.ASCII.JP/ELEM/000/000/369/369402/) A mobile phone by EMPORIA in Austria.It can be used like a smartphone even though it is a feature phone
The numeric keypad is a type that can be covered with a touch panel, so it can be easily turned over.Internally, it works on Android like Japanese Galaho, and it is characterized by thoroughly customizing the screen.
HTC seems to be working hard in the German smartphone market, and there is an impression that it has secured a sales floor alongside Samsung and Huawei.The latest model "HTC ONE A9" has begun.
HTC's latest model "HTC ONE A9".The topic that resembles the iPhone 6s too much.The first impression, such as front glass and side design that draws a curve, is almost "as it is"
The thickness and weight are almost the same as the iPhone 6s, but as the original element, I saw a deep garnet color at the CES venue.The CPU is Snapdragon 617 (MSM8952), which is familiar with Nuans NEO.
As a recent trend, I can't help but mention Huawei.Until now, it has been a corner of the sales floor in various parts of Europe, but it has gradually expanded its presence.
Recently, Huawei has been increasing its presence in Europe.Germany has a large sales floor.I came to see big logo in the carrier shop
It is characterized by not only products that are known in Japan, such as "Huawei Watch" and "Mate S", as well as the lineup of low -end machines.
