TECNO showcases futuristic innovations at MWC Barcelona 2024

TECNO, a leading global smartphone brand, is showcasing its latest groundbreaking and futuristic devices at its second appearance at MWC Barcelona 2024.

Building on its successful debut in 2023, TECNO returns this year with the theme “Reach for the Future,” highlighting its commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology. Attendees can experience TECNO’s vision for the future at its stand, located at 6B11, Hall 6, Fira Gran Via.

TECNO has unveiled several innovative products at MWC, including its first AI-powered robotic dog, an industry-first combined AR glasses and Windows gaming handheld set. As well as a smartphone with rollable display and a new Pro model belonging to the POVA Series.

TECNO Dynamic 1: AI-powered robotic dog

TECNO has introduced its first robotic dog, the Dynamic 1, marking a step forward in human-machine interaction. This advanced device merges cutting-edge AI with a lifelike design inspired by the German Shepherd.

The Dynamic 1 boasts diverse functionalities to enhance daily life in various areas, including smart home entertainment, assistance, education, and training. Its powerful torque output and sophisticated cooling system enable it to climb stairs and perform greetings like bowing and handshakes.

Users can interact with the Dynamic 1 through voice commands thanks to its four microphones and AI-powered voice recognition. Additionally, smartphone apps and remote controls offer alternative control options.

For stable movement and navigation, the robot utilizes an AI HyperSense Fusion System, an Intel RealSense D430 depth camera, dual optical sensors, infrared sensors, and an 8-core ARM CPU. This combination enables dynamic stability, rapid post-fall recovery, and a top speed of 3.7 m/s.

The Dynamic 1 comes with 64GB of storage, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2. It also features an innovative headlight system for both illumination and interaction indication. This companion boasts a 15000mAh battery for up to 90 minutes of use, while its modular design allows for easy battery swaps and simultaneous charging for uninterrupted use.

TECNO Pocket Go: a Windows AR gaming set

Alongside the Dynamic 1, TECNO also introduces the Pocket Go, a novel Windows AR gaming set — combining AR glasses and a handheld gaming device.

The set features a compact Windows handheld and the advanced AR Pocket Vision headset. This combination addresses limitations of both bulky handhelds and AR glasses, offering an enhanced 6D gaming experience.

The AR Pocket Vision headset utilizes a 0.71-inch micro-OLED screen, creating a simulated 215-inch television experience from six meters away. It also includes a six-axis gyroscope, N’BASS acoustic materials, and advanced AI head-tracking and vibration algorithms for further immersion. Adjustable diopter settings cater to users with varying vision needs and improve comfort during extended play.

Meanwhile, the Pocket Windows Handheld offers significant size reduction (50% smaller) and weight reduction (30% lighter) compared to standard Windows gaming handhelds, providing smartphone-like convenience. Engineered for demanding high-fps AAA games on the go, it boasts a first-of-its-kind processor with 35W performance, eight cores, 16 threads, and turbo frequencies up to 5.1 GHz. Additionally, a 50Wh replaceable battery allows for uninterrupted gameplay.

The TECNO Smart Box complements Pocket Go, acting as a central hub for game and setting management. The set can also transition into a mobile workstation, seamlessly connecting to other TECNO devices within the TECNO ecosystem, offering new possibilities for portable gaming, work, and entertainment.
