For older generations of people and technology, change management was more difficult. It was harder to learn and there was often pushback. This generation expects it, Stubbs says.

The barcode scanning case is positioned as a purely retail solution from HP, and I can see it being a useful addition to both the front and back of a store. While it’s not likely to replace dedicated cash registers anytime soon, it could be invaluable for the sort of roving retail employees that help customers while they’re shopping.

As the benchmarks revealed, the processor in this phone just doesn’t have the performance needed to drive it effectively. Some of the blame for this must be directed towards the PowerVR GE8100 GPU, which lacks punch when compared with the Mali G71 GPU that is paired with eight-core MediaTek processors.

The phone comes with an IP68 rating that ensures dust-proofing and waterproofing. The company claims that the handset can survive temperatures from -20℃ to 60℃, so you can take it up on that mountain hike or down to the beach without any worries. It comes with MIL-STD-810G grade protection and also has a customized UV detector.

There is a 3.5mm headphone jack on top, which makes us wonder why manufacturers keep saying size is an important factor for removing these. The volume buttons along the left side are accompanied by a dual-SIM card slot, while the right side houses a power button, a PTT (push to talk) button, and a USB Type-C port. You will find a 16MP camera in the back. The front features a 2.45-inch display, dual front-facing speakers, an 8MP shooter, a fingerprint reader/home button, and two capacitive buttons.

The Ulefone X2 is the company’s entry-level rugged smartphone, and it supports 3G connectivity. It is easy to notice that the Armor X2 is a rugged smartphone, its design reveals that. The phone has three capacitive buttons below the display, overview, home, and back buttons, while it is made mostly out of metal, and it has some sort of rubber-like material on the back in order to be more grippy. This smartphone comes with two vertically-aligned cameras on the back, while it has a side-facing fingerprint scanner. The phone includes a 5,500mAh battery on the inside, which is one of its main selling points. Facial scanning is also included in the package, and the same can be said for an NFC chip. This smartphone is IP68 certified for water and dust resistance, which is to be expected considering it’s a rugged handset.

But Palm’s “phone companion” pitch quickly breaks down for exactly the same reason most people don’t have separate workday and weekend rides: Cost. The Palm is $349.99, then you have to pay Verizon every month to keep it on your plan. Even if the idea of a smartphone sidekick is appealing, that pricing is going to be prohibitive for a lot of people — though you have to begrudgingly respect the tech industry’s brazen attempt at getting people to buy not one but two smartphones. And while the Palm is a welcome experiment in a generally snoozy gadget category, it’s not likely to become a massive hit, even with a celeb endorsement from Stephen Curry.
