An amazing 2 in 1 laptop, with the power of Windows 10 and the latest hardware available on the market, touch screen and a metallic case- keyboard that protects this device from braking in pieces as plastic laptops do.

Mac Book Pro with Touch Bar and Touch ID

The great big update of Apple to their Mac Book Pro line, not a lot of people were happy with this new version (upgrade) of the Mac Book Pro, the true is that the biggest changes of this great Mac were:

  • The new Thunderbolt USB port that is capable of transfer information up to a 40 GB/s (Gigabytes per second)
  • Touch ID, which many other laptops in the market already had (HP, Asus, Dell, and many other business models of laptops),
  • The useful touch bar
  • Biggest touch pad, because the one on the model before was not big enough.

Apple did not want to get behind anyone else and released the iPad Pro 9.7″, this one brought in True Tone display that corrects the screen colors depending on the conditions you’re currently in.

It’s also the first iPad to have a 256GB storage option, which may be expensive but means you’re going to struggle to fill your slate full of media and apps like you’d probably do on a 32 GB iPad Pro in a couple of days.

Sony Xperia Z6 Tablet

This was the new tablet release of Sony, as this company likes water so much it was to expect that their new tablet would be water resistant, with a more premium design and as usual the growing Android OS.

Samsung could not get behind Apple and came out with they so famous now Galaxy S# Series, this time Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, including water and dust resistant phone with a more dynamic design on the phone, hiding back the camera.

The returned feature of increase the phone capacity with  Micro SD card, feature that was out of the Galaxy Series for about 2 years. The edges that started on the S6 Edge version and Note Series gave Samsung the “I can do cool stuff” popularity allowing their users to install any kind of widget for the edge of the phone notifications, although many of this widgets need to be paid.

But we cannot end the year phones review without mentioning the new Google smartphone the: “Google Pixel and Pixel XL” This phone came to market almost at the end of the year.

Google wanted all the attention at the time of releasing this amazing phone, powered by Google and Android 7, the latest Android version with the latest functionalities.
Personally, this is an amazing phone, and with it Google wanted to give to their users even more than just a phone, that is why with the phone comes an unlimited space of storage on Google Cloud or most known as Google Drive.
