Mobile Phones: The new old thing
手機(jī)：全新的舊事物
Conformity, nostalgia and 5G were on show at the Mobile World Congress.
在世界移動(dòng)通行大會(huì)上的慣例、懷舊以及5G。
“A SEA of sameness.” A veteran of the Mobile World Congress (MWC), Ben Wood of CCS Insight, a consultancy, was not expecting much from the mobile industry's main trade show this week in Barcelona.
來(lái)英國(guó)著名移動(dòng)資訊公司CCS Insight的調(diào)研主管Ben Wood是全球移動(dòng)大會(huì)的?？停救藢?duì)這周在巴塞羅那舉辦的移動(dòng)產(chǎn)業(yè)貿(mào)易展覽會(huì)沒(méi)有過(guò)多期待，并稱(chēng)其為“波瀾不驚的汪洋大?！?。
As one product launch followed another, it was easy to lose track.
隨著一次又一次的產(chǎn)品發(fā)布會(huì)，人們很難對(duì)其留下什么深刻印象。
Whether it was LG, Huawei or Wiko, they all showed off yet more black rectangles with slightly varying specifications.
無(wú)論是LG，還是華為或者Wiko，然而這些手機(jī)制造商全都在炫耀只有細(xì)微不同說(shuō)明的手機(jī)產(chǎn)品。
Another reminder of the smartphone business's maturity was that the most talked-about new device was the Nokia 3310 feature phone, an updated version of a phone first made 17 years ago.
智能手機(jī)產(chǎn)業(yè)的另一個(gè)成熟標(biāo)志就是，本次大會(huì)上最為人津津樂(lè)道的新款手機(jī)是諾基亞的3310型，這是17年前所發(fā)布同款手機(jī)的全新升級(jí)版。
With limited internet connectivity, it appeals partly as a “digital detox”, said Arto Nummela, chief executive of HMD Global, a Finnish startup with ex-Nokia executives which licenses the brand.
來(lái)自一家由幾位諾基亞前董事創(chuàng)立的芬蘭公司HMD Global的執(zhí)行總裁Arto Nummela表示，由于這款手機(jī)本身網(wǎng)絡(luò)受限，它的出現(xiàn)被看做是“數(shù)碼排毒”的一種手段。
The mobile industry is far from done in terms of genuinely new products.
就最新的產(chǎn)品來(lái)看，移動(dòng)產(chǎn)業(yè)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)沒(méi)有達(dá)到頂峰。
But the action has moved to parts of the business that do not lend themselves to splashy events and massive crowds (the tent erected by Huawei, a Chinese maker of all sorts of telecoms gear, to launch its new P10 smartphone was huge, but hundreds were still left waiting outside).
但是，這次活動(dòng)帶來(lái)的部分業(yè)務(wù)并沒(méi)有引起到人們過(guò)多關(guān)注。（中國(guó)電子零件制造商華為公司為了發(fā)布最新的P10智能手機(jī)搭建起來(lái)的展臺(tái)，其影響力是巨大的，但是還剩下數(shù)以百計(jì)的展商沒(méi)有得到關(guān)注。）
Most innovation in the next ten years will happen in the telecoms network rather than in devices, predicts John Delaney of IDC, a market-research firm.
來(lái)自市場(chǎng)研究公司IDC的John Delaney預(yù)計(jì)，在接下來(lái)十年內(nèi)，大部分創(chuàng)新將出現(xiàn)在電信網(wǎng)絡(luò)中，而不是移動(dòng)設(shè)備上。
For now the industry is gearing up for the next generation of wireless technology, “5G”.
迄今為止，整個(gè)行業(yè)都在為了下一代無(wú)線技術(shù)“5G”而加速前進(jìn)。
