This Alavesa company dominates mobile phones, and the 2G blackout transformed it into something much more interesting

March 19, 2025 by usatoday24

The MWC was a brutal hive of technological and telecos from all over the world … with America and Asia in a prominent place, something that results paradoxical and expected at the same time in an event organized in Barcelona: Error 404, Europe Not Found. But in one of the Halls Yes there was European presence, because there There was the huge Spanish pavilion, that of Red.es, and in turn there was, in one of its fifty spaces, SPC (Smart Products Connection), an Alava technology that has turned the technological needs of the elderly into their small gold mine. And we were able to talk to his CEO, Teresa Acha-Forea, an old acquaintance of Xataka: A decade ago We interviewed her in her stage with Wikowhich was a mark of that same matrix. Of telephone liberalization to leadership in a specialized niche SPC’s story begins with The beginning of the process of liberalization of telecommunications At the end of the eighties, when Telefónica lost the monopoly of the sale of telephones. It was then that this company Alavesa jumped to start marketing landlines. It looks like a gray and little activity sexy (And it is), but it was his germ. For years it was your main business (They still have a presence in him), But with the slow agony of the fixed this leg is more in the consulting of conference terminals for companies than in the sale of the telephone itself. Red.es pavilion in the MWC 2025. In one of its fifty spaces was SPC. Image: Xataka. A little after that was when the adventure that has taken them here began. “Twenty years ago we began to make adapted phones for blind and people with special needs“, explains Teresa during our interview at the Mobile World Congress 2025.” We also had a Portfolio of telephone numbers for seniors, with large, first fixed and then mobile keys. “ What began as a specialized line has led the company to a dominant position in Spain: “We have become the first Spanish telephone brand for seniors, we have 50% of that market,” says the directive. The silent revolution: from 2g to 4g While the technological world revolts around The latest ©SPC has demonstrated the ability to evolve without losing its essence. Its catalog has been growing with the decades, but always maintaining the focus on a type of accessible and easy -to -use devices. That approach also has its own technological risks. In this case, a question of networks: “These devices are 2g, but you have to change to 4g by The blackouts that are going to be done. All these devices will stop working, so we decided to launch the catalog in 4G. ”What was cost savings because it made no sense to aim at ultra -granted speeds also finds its expiration date. This technological change has meant a great change for the company: “We went from transmitting voice to transmit data. That makes a ‘silly’ device have some intelligence. With the 4G we saw that we could exchange data, that is, send orders.” And that forced paradigm change led them to A much deeper change: the hardware for the service. Taking advantage of the 4G jump, SPC has developed a platform called SPC Carelaunched at the end of last year. “It is an app that is usually downloaded a responsible, a child,” explains the CEO. “It allows to manage the entire device menu, contacts, volume, brightness … It also has functions for the child, such as locating the father’s mobile by GPS or seeing his SMS.” The latter, he points, not so much to invade his privacy and to prevent The frauds that have found in the SMS a great ally. In it MWC 2025 The company presented new functions for this platform: “We have incorporated new actions, for example, a medication reminder. We have an agenda in which to schedule days and hours for a specific message to arrive, which we can write, and thus will come in a personalized way.” The most interesting thing is how this reminder is delivered: “That message will not come as SMS, because they do not usually read them, but as a voice call.” A detail that demonstrates the company’s knowledge about the real needs of its target audience. This evolution represents a paradigm change for SPC, as its directive acknowledges: “This is being a small great revolution for the company. We have gone from being a hardware company very specialized in the development of the PCBA with engineering in China, to manage applications and data.” Between design and manufacturing Although SPC is presented as a Spanish manufacturer, its productive model reflects the reality of the contemporary technology industry: Design in any country, manufacture in China. Nothing on the other Thursday, nothing we don’t know. However, the degree of involvement of the company in the development of its products varies quite according to the category. It is not a black or white. “It depends on each category, we intervene more in the conceptualization or less,” explains Acha-Forea. “The person in charge is the one who has contact with the manufacturer of the Chipset. The manufacturer of Chipset Sells specific engineering that are the ones that develop the PCBA “. In the most strategic products, the personalization level is very high: “In the tablets, we do everything with engineering in China. From speaking with engineering, and telling him that this is the PCBA, this is the type of plate, we want this type of battery here, this here, this here …”. The CEO is clear on which products they have more intervention: “Tablets and smartphones for seniors are own molds, they are ours. When it is its own mold, it is its own PCBA and its own engineering.” Current Catalog of SPC smartphones. Image: SPC. At the opposite end are the smallest or generic products: “Some headphones … Well, you choose the headset and say, well, because I want you to change this, … Read more

Experts begin to think that the problem is not mobile phones, but the algorithm

March 17, 2025 by usatoday24

He wrote Hermes Trismegisto in his Kybalioneverything in creation has its rhythm and that rhythm, if we follow it, always takes us back to the beginning. It takes us to the world as will and representation, in the way Zaratrusta spoke, to the recurrence theorem of Poincaré … and, of course, to the discussion of whether the technology is leaving us fried by the brain. Or, rather, what, how and why it is affecting our cognitive ability. Because the fact that something is changing nobody discusses it. And how to discuss it? Of course something It is changing. And not only functionally, the changes are structural and all levels. The simple presence of screens It has substantially modified our somatosensory cortex; That is, they have changed the way we touch the world. There is nothing. But the situation goes further: how Manuel Sebastián explained years agoresearcher at the Cerebral Cartography Unit of the Complutense University, “we know that the text that includes links (hypertext) seems to remember worse in general, which is totally logical because they constitute distractors and the role of attention is critical in memory.” We knew that, but we didn’t know what it meant. “The fact that information is processed differently is not necessarily bad,” Sebastián told us. In the background, our brain Life is reorganizing And historically, that has been a good news. The question is, therefore, if it will continue to be in the future. And there are many experts who believe no. Data are not lacking. As John Burn-Murnoch explained in the Financial Timesalthough in recent years we have lent a lot of interest in the impact of pandemic on the cognitive and emotional development of young people, there are more and more experts who think we are not seeing it in perspective. Both the scores of most standardized tests of the world (as the PISA report) and Some specialized surveysThey point out that the problem began to appear in the mid -2010. And that problem It has many faces: From the difficulty to concentrate on the problems to learn new things. It is a bit complicated. Because, the truth is that, if we look at things like the time of use of screens and cognitive or emotional problems, we discover that There is nothing problematic. The traditional explanation has been that the important thing is not that we use new technologies, the important thing is what we do with them. And that’s where the algorithm enters. Because, As Burn-Murdoch saysthere is a change perhaps more fundamental than mobiles and networks: “the change in our relationship with information.” We have gone from web pages limited to infinite and constantly updated feeds, with a constant notifications bombardment. We no longer spend so long navigating the web or interacting with acquaintances, but we find a content torrent. This represents a transition from self -directed behavior to passive consumption and the constant alternation of context. And that’s where the problems may be. Unfortunately, There is still little research on this And, to the extent that everyone has launched this type of technologies and algorithms, we find a very difficult area to investigate. The good news is that, little by little, we are clearing the issue. The bad is that there is still much to know, even, the impact of all this. And, despite everything, as we usually check Every time an extensive study is published On our relationship with technology, there are no great alarm signs. Anyway, it seems that the plasticity of the human brain Find the way of “returning home”to overcome possible obstacles and catch up. Hopefully let’s know how we can eliminate those obstacles.

Given the tendency to make the finest phones, these manufacturers bet on something very different: the “Tocho-Telephones”

March 6, 2025 by usatoday24

When Android manufacturers turn to increasingly thin devices “Get the Galaxy S25the still unknown Galaxy S25 Edge or the fine folding OPPO FIND N5– It’s because now It is not necessary to sacrifice too much battery capacity. However, the market offers phones that follow the opposite path, from less popular firms than those mentioned. The MWC 2025 has shown us A very disturbing robotnails Vision Pro Chinese of 200 dollarseven a very useful headphones loading caseand no less striking: Mobile with thermal chamber, night vision and even with a projector To wear a portable cinema in your pocket, or rather, in a backpack. Raudales battery and exclusive extras of these brands On these lines you can see the Ulefone Armor 27 Pro, an android of a brand not so unknown that in addition to protection with military certification adds a night vision chamber. As is. In the demonstration, I could see the interior of a completely dark box perfectly. It will not be a phone for the mass market, but it will be of interest to some professions. These types of telephones, the so -called rugerized, must do A great concession: sacrifice design and thickness to fit a large battery. That by the way in this case is not as exaggerated as in other mobiles that have been seen. In the case of Armor 33 Pro, his night vision chamber is also infrarroja. Add a second screen on the back despite not being a folding, and a large speaker of 118 decibels. And the 34 Pro armor, because simply rides a projector, a style rear Gaming, and A 25,500 mAh battery. There is almost nothing, it cannot be said that they are not innovative. From Armor 29 Pro, they say it is useful to see animals on camping nights: its thermal chamber carries the abundant “AI” label. It also has a Small rear panelmore oriented to consult the time instead of using smartphone applications. BlackView, another of the usual ones in this market segment, draws attention to its N6000 se, a roaring terminal, but retains the “compact” on its screen strange diagonal today: 4.3 inches. For the rest, it does not stand out in any of its specifications because it is very cheap: around 150 euros. Another of the most extravagant Apex 1, with Walkie Talkie function: 22 kilometers range and huge 20,000 mAh battery. It also has smartphones with thermal chamber in its catalog, which in its case is monitored from a third -party application that gives information about temperature at different points of the image. Flir puts the solution to all these manufacturers with thermal cameras, hence the link of the application, which by the way, presented some small error. Mention for Fossibot, a firm dedicated in the same way to ultra -resistant phones, with a difference: they give more importance to the aesthetics of your teams. The one on the right, the F112 PRO It looks a lot at the rear to Huawei pure 70 ultra. The camera module is practically a tracing. Again and one more year, the MWC leaves us the more exotic mobilesbetter with the passage of generations as the most conventional. They are, without a doubt, niche products that have their market, and we will not deny that they are authentic Swiss knives with not so common tools.

We already know why mobile phones with 6,000Mah are not arriving in Europe: there is a clear responsible

March 3, 2025 by usatoday24

He Xiaomi 15 Ultra It is already in our hands. Your hardware is impressive: it has the Best Qualcomm processora camera system that paints spectacular and a software enhanced by AI (which high range can afford to do it). But there is a specification that collided: its 5.410mah battery. In China, the phone is sold with a 6,000Mah battery, a remarkably greater capacity than that of its European twin brother. Daniel Desjarlais, head of communication globally at Xiaomi, has dissipated us personally. We already know why the European model has a smaller battery. The two versions. The Xiaomi Ultra 15 is almost the same as the Chinese model. There is a small difference at the software level, since the Chinese ROM does not have Google services, much less with the new integration with Gemini that they have released on this phone. However, the model that lands in Europe does so with a 5.410mah battery. It is a considerable size, but far from what its Chinese variant offers. Cost savings. The explanation is simple and clear: cost savings. Xiaomi has not given concrete figures on how percent the cost of bringing a 6,000Mah battery device but, at least at this time, is significant enough so that they cannot reach Europe. “The 6.000Mah battery would have led to an improper cost increase in global devices. We must try to find a balance between giving our users everything we can and how much will cost.” Daniel explains that importing phones from China has a cost, and that the company seeks a balance between bringing models to Europe with the best specifications, and that the price does not continue to increase. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra has better speers than last year’s model, but maintains the same price in our territory. Silicon-carbon as ally. There is a main responsible for, finally, the 5,000mAh batteries cease to be the artificial top we had been seeing for years. The Silicon-Carbon batteries They are the new fashion, and allow manufacturers to integrate much more capacity in the same size. This is why they have been able to increase the capacity of the Xiaomi 15 in more than 600mAh compared to its predecessor, and so that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra has some more battery than the ultra 14 (the previous model had 5,300mAh). Companies such as Honor also sell their Magic7 Pro with almost 6,000Mah battery in China, staying only in 5,270mah in Europe. A trend that we hope is ending up reversing according to the costs of this type of batteries are descending over time.

Thousands of Ukrainians have escaped from Russian occupation. Many others have not achieved it … because of their phones

January 25, 2025 by usatoday24

In wars are hundreds of terrible paradoxes. A few months ago we had one that was given on the Russian side revealing a cruel and murky equation that encourages military participation: There are Russian soldiers that “are worth” more dead than alive in its origin regions. On the Ukrainian sidewalk there are also circumstances as incomprehensible as that a citizen’s personal phone is his cross to escape the war. The importance of phones to flee. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, thousands of Ukrainians have tried to escape the occupied territories, facing an extremely dangerous and complex process. At this point the figure of people like Stefan Vorontsovwho fled from the occupation of Nova Kajovka in 2022 and directs the humanity organizationwhich has helped more than 6,000 people escape from the south and east of Ukraine through Russia, the only viable route due to the impossibility of crossing the front line. However, the success of these evacuations depends largely on previous preparation, and a crucial factor, as explained, is The total cleaning of the mobile phones of the evacuees. The reason? That the Russian authorities meticulously inspect each device at the border control points, and do so looking for any indication of loyalty to Ukraine. The escape process and the “legends.” I counted these days Kajovka that to cross the border to Russia, Ukrainians must have a credible story or “legend” that justify their trip. These false narratives are meticulously designed to avoid suspicions, presenting reasons such as medical visits in Russian hospitals or recreational trips to the Black Sea. That said, Young people apparently face greater difficultiessince any trace of Pro-Ukrainian activity in its social networks can be a reason for detention. In this regard, Russian authorities thoroughly question the evacueesreviewing its devices, contacts, searches and social networks, looking for words in Ukrainian, images of the national flag or connections with the Ukrainian army. The trick: clean the mobile. To increase your chances of success, Humanity advises evacuated to eliminate maps, photos of sensitive infrastructure and suspicious contacts. In addition, he suggests adding “Russian” elements in his digital profiles, such as following prorruse Telegram channels or subscribing to Russia favorable content on platforms such as YouTube. In fact, The organization uses Telegram secret chats To discreetly coordinate every step of the evacuation, minimizing the risk of communication being intercepted. Dangers at control points. The crossing points in Crimea and Rostov of the Don are controlled by the Russian forces, which subject those evacuated to those interviews that can last, according to the organization, up to six hours, with questions designed to cause emotional reactions and detect Ukrainian sympathies. At this point and how they underline, An error in the narrative can result in prisondeportation to remote regions of Russia or forced disappearances, as has happened with several acquaintances of Vorontsov. Here, the elderly, children and sick people are more likely to cross successfully, although the situation has become more difficult over time, according to Vorontsov. The passport. Since January 2024, Russia demands that all Ukrainians get a Russian passport In order to get out of the occupied territories, a measure that has further complicated evacuations and has increased pressure on young people to join the Russian armed forces. This new regulation represents an additional obstacle, since many are forced to choose between clandestine resistance or acceptance of Russian citizenship under coercion. Logistics and financing. Humanity Organize transport with drivers with a license to bring those evacuated to safe points in Crimea or Rostov del Don. If the evacuees cannot arrive by their own means, the organization covers the expenses of taxis, accommodation and food. In this regard, they compete with Russian conductors that charge inflated rates of up to $ 400 per person, while Humanity spends less than $ 50 per transfer. With everything and despite the economic difficulties, in 2024 they managed to evacuate 360 Ukrainians, including 106 children, as well as several domestic animals. By the way, The organization operates without profitdepending exclusively on donations to finance train tickets, bus and other logistics expenses.

The obsession with slim mobile phones is back. And there are several reasons

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

The new ones Samsung Galaxy S25 mark the beginning of the year in the high-end smartphone range, but they also tell us about the beginning of a new trend: the war to create the thinnest smartphone. Samsung briefly showed us the Galaxy S25 Edge and rumors of a iPhone 17 Air for this fall they are too coincidental to ignore them, in the absence of official confirmation. Both promise to be the thinnest phones ever created by their respective manufacturers. The question is whether we really need thinner phones. History has taught us that The obsession with thinness usually has consequences. The 2014 iPhone 6, with its 6.9 mm, was so thin that it ended up starring in the bendgate. AND the first Galaxy Edgealthough innovative, sacrificed durability for design. The interesting thing about this trend is not so much the technology itself, but the chosen moment. We have been seeing for years how manufacturers have been thickening their devices to include larger batteries, better camera systems and more sensors. Apple went from 7.6 mm on the iPhone 8 to 8.25 mm on the iPhone 16 Pro. Samsung did the same with its Galaxy line. And users never complained about their phones being “too thick”. In any case, it is common to read a fairly recurring request: more battery even at the cost of greater thickness. And although Oppo, Huawei or Vivo have already launched models in this thickness range in the past, they never set a real commercial trend. Apple and Samsung, as leaders, are capable of doing so. The price of thinness is high. According to leaks, the iPhone 17 Air will have a single rear camera instead of two or three, and will sacrifice one of its speakers. Samsung, for its part, has reduced its Galaxy S25 Edge to two cameras. These are important commitments in 2025, when mobile photography defines the high-end. Why now? The answer may be in the folding. Apple has been working on it for years your foldable iPhoneand Samsung already dominates that format, which on the other hand It is far from what the expectations were. six years ago, when the first ones arrived. A foldable phone needs to be as thin as possible when unfolded so as not to be excessively thick when folded. These new ultra-thin models may well be testing grounds for technologies that will end up in future foldables. He Oppo Find N5 points right in that direction: an ultra-thin foldable. There is also a differentiation factor. After years of incremental iterations, both Apple and Samsung need something to make their devices stand out. Extreme thinness, although it may seem like a step backwards, is visually striking. It’s the kind of feature that makes people stop in stores or pause their gaze when they spot a phone like that in someone else’s hand. And that’s something brands crave. But the success of these devices will depend on whether the compromises are worth it. The iPhone mini failed because it occupied a niche that no one had asked for. Or rather, that he did not ask for enough clients. Will it be different with ultrathin ones? Samsung seems to be starting with some caution, limiting the launch of the S25 Edge to select markets. The mobile industry moves in cycles. This wave of ultra-thin devices marks the beginning of another. But this time, the technology could be paving the way to something bigger: the next generation of foldables. Apple and Samsung are betting big. We’ll see if consumers sacrifice functionality for style. The war for the thinnest mobile phone has only just begun.

Mobile phones have been stagnant for five years when it comes to innovation. There is an explanation

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

Mobile phones have not innovated for years. Or, at least, not too much. There was a time when jumping from one generation to another was a box of surprises. New designs, completely new features, and crazy innovations to surprise the public iteration after iteration. For a few years now, the meme of Smithers and the doll with the new hat has become more true than ever. The new phone will be the same as last year, with a little more power, a slightly better camera and AI features that we may never use. All this has a reason for being. The times of innovating are (almost) over. There was a time when manufacturers were not afraid to break the mold to create different devices. Samsung did it with the curved screen of the Galaxy Round, LG had a G Flex 2 self-healing, and Xiaomi dared with pop-up cameras from the body with the 9T Pro. There was a time when manufacturers dared to innovate. A few years ago, jumping from one generation to the next meant a significant leap. Going from a Galaxy S2 to an S4 was a brutal change. The same thing happened between LG G3 and the G5. It is true that the brands were taking some blind steps, completely changing the phone from one generation to another: there was not much consistency, but there were significant changes. Apple, which has always moved at its own pace, was one of the few that continued to maintain designs and advance specifications discreetly, without disruptive changes between generations. On Android, every year was an adventure. Being groundbreaking doesn’t work. The most innovative ones have not fared too well. LG ended up closing its mobile divisionNokia stopped inventing and started selling traditional, simple mobile phones under the HMD umbrella, and major manufacturers like Samsung, Xiaomi and Huawei began to make iterations that were increasingly similar to each other. No matter how many critical voices are heard against continuity, continuity works. Or so the data says. If we look at the list of best-selling devices in the world We found that, year after year, the iPhone and Galaxy (both mid-range and high-end) are the ones that repeat the podium year after year. Those phones that precisely “innovate” the least are the ones that sell the most. A path to refinement. The image you see above is a good example: it is even difficult to distinguish last year’s model from the new model. Manufacturers have changed the philosophy: if something works, don’t touch it. For approximately four years now, improvements between generations have been slight. Changes in the camera, small refinements in the design, updated processor, and some technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooth or USB that change protocols. The great innovations of these years have been camera buttons, longer telephoto lenses and the arrival of AI (which, no matter how much it is sold as a gimmick, plays a very secondary role in daily use). And it’s not a negative thing.. Smartphones are at a point of maximum maturity. So much so that it is difficult to think about how to improve them. Screens: we have as much resolution as practically that of a television. Very high peak brightnessand calibrations worthy of studio monitors. The big leaps will involve the implementation of matte screens and better drivers so that these panels are increasingly more efficient. Batteries: 2025 has been the key year for the implementation of carbon-silicon, bringing with it more capacity in a smaller size. 6,000 and 7,000mAh batteries are a realityguaranteeing two days of full use in many cases. There is still a way to go, but the great leap has already been made. Microprocessors: today mobile phones they are so powerful That, in many cases, this is a problem. We have not reached peak power, but we are at a point where a phone is capable of playing triple A games as if it were a console. Cameras: It is one of the points where there is the most room for improvement, but this does not happen through the hardware, but through the software. Formats: Manufacturers want to break with traditional formats, and that is why they are betting on form factors such as folding ones. These grow slowly, but they represent just 1% of total sales. Again, innovation does not sweep. We are far from the real peak. We have been thinking for years that we are approaching the peak smartphoneto that point of no return where it will be practically impossible to improve what we already have. We are right in our approach: progress is becoming less and less and, to appreciate it, it is necessary to be more and more thorough. Despite this, progress is present and, although they are minor changes, they are there. Your 2025 mobile has a processor that allows it to run the applications with the best performance. The quality of its microphones is getting better and better, its fast charging system is very far from those 2/3 hours necessary to charge your old phone and, in short, if we look back 3 or 4 years, the advances are still present, for small as they seem.

The code names of the four phones in the series are leaked

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

The Pixel 10 have been leaking some details to get closer to next summer in which its launch is expected, since last year Google brought forward the presentation date of the Pixel 9. An internal Google source has shared certain documents that confirm the Pixel 11 codenames which will be released next year. A leak that skips the next Google devices this year, since the first that would be presented is the Pixel 9a to replace the Pixel 8a last year launched in Spainand then the Pixel 10 series for its launch next summer as the station of choice for the technology giant. The internal source has given some documents to Android Authority and thus know the code names that are usually of unique animal species. For example, for the Pixel 11 the denominator theme is going to be the bear, and it is not at all something new for Google use certain names according to a theme; For older versions of Android it always used dessert names like KitKat (Android 4.4), Lollipop (Android 5.0) or Marshmallow (Android 6.0). Each of the mobile phones that make up the Pixel 11 series, and which is surprising for still being four models so that the folding mobile follow another of the protagonistshave their only name as one of the most dangerous subspecies and animals on the planet, the grizzly bear: Pixel 11: “cubs” or “4CS4”. Pixel 11 Pro: “grizzly” or “CGY4”. Pixel 11 Pro XL: “kodiak” or “PKK4”. Pixel 11 Pro Fold: “yogi” or “9y14”. Pixel 9 Pro Chema Flores The Free Android The references are more than clear and “cubs” are for bear cubs, while “grizzly” for one of the subspecies that lives in North America and “kodiak” for the Alaskan brown bear. The last one is “yogi”, inspired by the mythical cartoon character that for so many decades entertained so many generations. Android Authorirty has given more details and it is about the chip that each of the Pixel 11 series models will use: the G6 tensioner with the code name “malibu”.
