IFA 2017 presenters keep inspiring with breakthrough technology. Today Western Digital introduced its first SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card with 400 GB capacity. The company also introduced the SanDisk iXpand Base for iPhones that enables Apple users to automatically back up files and photos on the charger/portable hard drive. The new SanDisk microSD card allows double the storage since the manufacturer managed to leverage its proprietary memory technology and design and production processes. Now the die can store even more data without changing the size of the card itself.

LG has opened a new chapter in the V-series and perhaps its entire smartphone lineup – the LG V30 shows that OLED is the way of the future and does away with the iffy secondary screen. But it’s not the screen that is the main attraction, instead LG is most proud of its latest dual camera. Early teasers told us that it will have the brightest aperture on a mobile phone – f/1.6! - but now we can tell you that the wide-angle camera is similarly impressive. It has an f/1.9 aperture, much wider than the f/2.4 that has been used on the LG G6 and V20.
