Not just another rugged smartphone: Oukitel WP5000 displays a new trend for tri-proof smartphones (video) | Handheld Pda

That said, I understand why the first crop of Windows 10 on ARM devices cost as much as they do. The Snapdragon 835 processor is a premium component designed for high-end smartphones. 4G LTE support is usually only offered on premium notebooks. Fingerprint sensors aren’t exactly standard on entry-level laptops either. Nor are full HD touchscreen displays (even if they should be).

In terms of specs, the mid-range Unihertz Atom measures in at just 96 x 45 x 18 mm and tips the scales at just 108g. At that scale, the forward-facing fingerprint scanner takes up around a third of the total width and the camera housing at the back takes up around half. The primary shooter is a 16-megapixel sensor with autofocus while the selfie camera is a fixed-focus 8-megapixel snapper. The display panel measures 2.45-inches with a resolution of 240*432 pixels, presenting users with a much-minimized full version of Android 8.1 Oreo. Pixel density falls in at around 203 PPI, giving a surprisingly clear image quality for the Atoms size. There’s no SD card storage expansion with the Atom but dual Nano SIM, in dual standby mode, can be accessed via the full-size SIM drawer. Storage is set at a healthy 64GB and a respectable 4GB of memory backs up the MediaTek P23 MT6763V/B octa-core SoC Unihertz included here. That’s four cores clocked at 1.51GHz and four further with a frequency of 2.0GHz for more demanding applications. A Mali-G71 GPU accompanies that processor.

Ulefone also mentions the MIL-STD 810G standard in promotional materials, as if it’s a real certification – which it isn’t. If it was a certification, it would support the claim that the Armor 3 can survive a 1.2m drop on to a hard surface, and given how robustly the phone is made, we have no reason to disbelieve that.

Overall, it is not a screen you will enjoy looking at for long periods of time, but we suppose that is fine given the nature of the device. The Unihertz Atom doesn’t need a good screen, it just needs to be usable — and this one certainly is (even if just barely). Not to mention those who buy this phone aren’t exactly looking for a media-consumption device.

“It’s important for new colleagues to learn quickly and use our delivery software,” said Björn Cordes, head of parcel solutions, Hermes. “That’s exactly what we guarantee with the new scanners, also because the operation is very similar to a smartphone.”

Of course, Scandit’s price tag reflects its value and reliability. You can purchase the tool for $199.00 for a monthly subscription, or $1,999.00 a year and you can install it on up to 100 devices.

Hermes Germany has equipped all its logistics centers, depots and delivery bases with new hand-held scanners from American manufacturer Zebra Technologies. A total of 18,000 devices will be put into operation from the beginning of 2019.

A sufficiently advanced Tricorder could help astronauts keep in good health during the journey. Without it, it’s hard to imagine how the next generation of astronauts will be able to boldly go where no one has gone before.

The front-facing sensor is 13MP with an f/2.2 aperture, which frankly seems overkill for selfies. On the rear are two sensors with the primary one being a Sony 16MP and the secondary a 2MP effort.

de Cosson opts for a handheld white structured light scanner for lower-resolution scans of objects that are larger than a cubic foot, yet smaller than unwieldy parts like a door panel. Like other structured light systems, the handheld device rapidly flashes a known pattern using white LEDs across the object’s surface; depth and surface information is calculated based on how the pattern deforms over the object’s surface and is stored as a point cloud. After post-processing, the model can be exported as an STL or another similar file type. The end result is a quick, relatively inexpensive scan. Garant has the Artec Eva, which features a scanning resolution up to 500 microns and a 3D point accuracy of 100 microns.

Remember Palm, the company behind those handheld PDAs (no, not that kind of PDA) that were so prevalent in the 90s? It’s back Monday with something truly weird: The Palm, a tiny Android-powered smartphone that’s meant to supplement, not replace, your current handset. You can’t even buy the Palm on its own — it’s available only as an add-on to your existing smartphone plan, and, at least for now, only on Verizon.
