Top 6 gadgets at Mobile World Congress 2015

New Delhi: There was plenty of cool technology at the largest mobile conference in the world, the Mobile World Congress 2015. Most of the companies used the event as a platform to showcase their latest products and technologies that most of us will be seeing this year.Here's a look at the some of the best gadgets from the Mobile World Congress 2015 in Barcelona.IKEA wireless charging furnitureSwedish furniture maker Ikea will start selling furniture with built-in Qi wireless charging and a charging kit to build wireless charging into existing furniture. The company announced a new line of Qi-powered bedside tables, lamps and desks. The Qi standard is designed to charge devices at a distance of up to 4 cm (1.6 in), which means the phone will have to be placed in a specific spot marked by a "plus" sign. Furniture with built-in wireless charging will sell for an extra EUR 20 (US$22.45) and be available in Europe and North America starting next month, with plans for a global rollout later on.LG Watch UrbaneLG unveiled its first smartwatch that uses 4G LTE (long-term evolution), giving users the ability to make calls and receive text messages without tethering the watch to a smartphone. LG compared the LG Watch Urbane LTE to a walkie-talkie with “unlimited range to talk to multiple parties at the same time.” The watch comes with a fully-round P-OLED display and has a polished silver or gold finished steel body. It has a stitched leather strap, which can be swapped out for standard 22mm watch bands.Xiaomi action cameraChinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi unveiled a wearable outdoor camera called the Yi Action Camera that has many of the same features of the GoPro Hero but sell at about half the cost at $64. The new device shows the company's ambition to move beyond the smartphone market, and offer consumers the chance to buy in to a larger ecosystem of Xiaomi products. The Yi itself features a 16-megapixel camera capable of shooting 1080p video at 60 frames per second — better on paper than the $130 GoPro Hero, which can only shoot 1080p footage at 30 frames per second, or 720p film at 60 frames. Unexpectedly for such a cheap device, the Yi also uses a high-quality image sensor from Sony (an Exmor R CMOS) and offers 64GB of built-in storage — twice what's available on the Hero.Samsung Galaxy S6, Samsung PayIn its latest Galaxy range, Apple ditched its plastic casings and adopted a sleeker glass and metal fitting. The S6 looks a lot like the iPhone 6 and packs 64-bit computing under the hood and has the ability to use it as a mobile wallet thanks to Samsung Pay, the Korean firm's answer to Apple Pay. The rear 16-megapixel camera now has optical stabilisation, it's the front camera that Samsung has pimped up with a 5-megapixel f1.9 lens. The phone's other noteworthy features include an updated fingerprint sensor that no longer requires the swiping motion and an infrared heart-rate monitor. Samsung also released a novelty version called the S6 Edge, but that's a sideshow.Lenovo Pocket ProjectorThis small device from Lenovo 0992, allows a user project streaming video from a phone to a wall or other surface with a maximum width of 110 inches. It has two built-in speakers and a battery that lasts 2.5 hours (in case you have an urge to watch an entire feature-length film on the spot). It connects to a device with a microUSB cable or communicates wirelessly, and is about 4 inches long and wide, and an inch thick. It will go on sale in May for $250.Runcible smartphoneIt looks like a smooth wooden pebble, but it is actually a smartphone blended with a pocket watch. You can make calls, check notifications and browse the web.
