My Life as a Robot
“I have been part robot since May. Instead of legs, I move on gyroscopically stabilized wheels. Instead of a face, I have an iPad screen. Instead of eyes, a camera with no peripheral vision. Instead of a mouth, a speaker whose volume I can’t even gauge with my own ears. And instead of ears, a tinny microphone that crackles and hisses with every high note.”

Meizu went with the whole QHD resolution touchscreen trend for the MX4 Pro, but apparently the Chinese company was not satisfied with the results. Hence, its next flagship smartphone will sport ‘just’ a 1080p display.
This information has been made public by Meizu CEO Aber Bai on Weibo today. He says that his company wants to build devices that satisfy consumers in terms of the overall experience, and not products that simply manage to cross of a checklist of parameters.
Bai thinks that not even the best chipsets of today can work with QHD screens in a very efficient way, and there aren’t many instances in which that resolution is actually useful at this point in time. Hence, Meizu will go with a 1080p panel for its next high-end device.
Speaking of which, this was supposedly leaked a few days ago with the codename NIUX. It was spotted in a benchmark database with a 1080p screen indeed, and it’s powered by Samsung’s Exynos 7420 SoC, the same one that’s in the Galaxy S6 and Note5. This Meizu smartphone also has a 21 MP rear camera, a 5 MP selfie shooter, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage.
So far we’ve heard it won’t launch as the MX5 Pro (because Meizu apparently shelved the ‘Pro’ line), and that it may cost more than CNY 3,000, which means around $471 or 421 at the current exchange rates.

Hay veces que en mi ronda rutinaria por el Play Store de Google,la tienda oficial de aplicaciones para Android, acabo totalmente sorprendido y alucinado al encontrar aplicaciones para Android tan espectaculares como la que a continuación les paso a comentar. La aplicación no es otra que un nuevo navegador GPS creado por los desarrolladores de Route 66, uno de los primeros navegadores que tuve el honor de probar en una ya antiquísima PDA. Su nombre, Magic Earth.
Aunque os haya asombrado el vídeo de la cabecera de este post en el que os enseño todas las peculiaridades de Magic Earth, os debo decir que todo lo que en el vídeo os he mostrado entra dentro de la aplicación gratuita, todo incluso la descarga de voces guía o la descarga de mapas para navegar sin necesidad de conexión a Internet. Para lo único que tendremos que pasar por caja, eso siempre que queramos ya que es una función opcional, es para habilitar la información del tráfico en tiempo real.
Magic Earth nos ofrece navegación GPS punto a punto, o sea puerta a puerta con funcionalidad de guía por voz en múltiples idiomas.
Todo lo que nos ofrece, navegación puerta a puerta por voz, descarga de mapas para navegación offline, descarga de voces, avisos de velocidad y cámaras de seguridad, todo lo hace de forma gratuita y sin condiciones. Lo único por lo que tendremos que pagar una licencia, en el caso de estar interesados, es por la opción de avisos de tráfico en tiempo real, una opción que en el caso de toda Europa nos va a salir al irresistible precio de tan solo 9,95 euros al año, sin duda un precio imbatible comparándolos con otros navegadores GPS del mercado.
Entre sus características a destacar cabe mencionar a groso modo las siguientes funcionalidades:
