The coming year promises unforgettable experiences for travelers, both on familiar routes and entirely new ones. Bon voyage! Analysts predict several important tourism trends in 2025 that are worth noting.
HONOR Magic V3
The new
version of the highly anticipated "flip" phone, HONOR Magic V3, made
a spectacular debut, becoming a hit at IFA 2024. When folded, the smartphone
weighs just 226 g and its thickness does not exceed 9.2 mm, making it the
thinnest foldable smartphone on the global market. However, its technical
specifications deserve special attention. The device's body is made from a
special fiber, and its ultra-light HONOR Super Steel hinge ensures reliability,
allowing the device to withstand up to 500,000 folding cycles. The Magic V3 is
equipped with two AMOLED displays: an external 6.43-inch screen and an internal
7.92-inch one. A unique feature of this model is the incredibly fast Qualcomm
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor with 16 GB of RAM, powerful enough to handle any
game or demanding application.
Huawei Mate XT
Huawei
unveiled the exclusive Mate XT, the world's first smartphone that folds in
three sections. When unfolded, its thickness does not exceed 3.6 mm. It is the
world’s first mass-produced device with three screens in a foldable format. One
of the displays serves as the external screen, featuring an OLED matrix and a
resolution of 2232×1008 pixels. When paired with the second display, the screen
expands to 7.9 inches, and all three form a total diagonal of 10.2 inches. The
Mate XT features Huawei's Tiangong hinge system with internal and external
folding. As a result, one device can replace several gadgets: a smartphone, a
compact tablet, and a large tablet. The Huawei Mate XT is powered by the
world’s thinnest silicon battery, at just 1.9 mm thick, supporting 66W fast
charging and 50W wireless charging. The package includes a protective case, car
charger, 88W power adapter, USB-C cable, and FreeBuds 5 wireless earbuds.
TECNO MEGA MINI Gaming G1
The brand
TECNO showcased some unique innovations at IFA 2024, including the powerful
mini-PC MEGA MINI Gaming G1. The computer features a compact 5.74L chassis with
a metal frame and glass side panels. Its high performance is powered by an
Intel i9-13900H processor paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card.
The main feature of the MEGA MINI G1 is its water-cooling system, which ensures
low noise even during long periods of heavy use. TECNO claims that every
component has undergone reliability testing.
Acer Dual Play
Acer
introduced its Dual Play laptop at the event, which replaces the traditional
touchpad with a powerful game controller. The exclusive design allows gamers to
easily switch between the keyboard and controller, greatly enhancing their
gaming experience. The controller in Dual Play can split into two joysticks,
and when removed from the laptop’s body, side speakers are activated.
Currently, this device is still in the prototype stage, but it attracted public
attention due to its originality and functionality.
TCL NxtPaper
TCL
announced its unique smartphones—NxtPaper 50 and 50 Pro. These devices feature
screens that mimic e-ink displays. A simple button allows users to disable all
notifications and activate a monochrome mode, significantly extending battery
life, according to TCL. Both devices have identical specifications, including a
6.8-inch IPS display and an eight-core Mediatek Dimensity 6300 processor. The
differences between the base and Pro versions lie in the memory (up to 256 GB
for the base version, up to 512 GB for the Pro) and the front camera resolution
(8 MP for the base version, 32 MP for the Pro). According to the manufacturer,
in e-ink mode, the smartphones can operate for up to seven days, which can be
hardly achieved by gadgets with conventional screens.
Ugreen’s "Emotional Peripherals"
Ugreen amazed visitors at IFA 2024 with a new collection of chargers and power banks featuring built-in displays that can show emotions. Among the revolutionary innovations is the Ugreen Uno 6-in-1 USB hub, equipped with six ports, including USB-C and HDMI. The device also displays power and data transfer statuses on its built-in monochrome display. The Ugreen Uno Power Bank, with a standard capacity of 10,000 mAh, can display emotions—joy or sadness—depending on the current situation. Experts consider this model innovative and creative.
