The head of the list of the most desired New Year's techno-gifts of 2016 is a powerful Android-phone with top-end iron, and a lot of necessary and not so functions, such as Google Assistant (digital assistant). To call an assistant, just say “OK Google”, however, this does not always work in noisy places. The smartphone is equipped with 128 GB of memory, 3450 mAh battery, a 5.5 ″ Quad HD display, a 2.15 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor and two 12.3 and 8 megapixel cameras.
