MWC 2016

First modular smartphone by LG, I think.

My favourite gadget of all showed in the Mobile World Congress 2016 in Barcelona is the LG G5. Not only do I think that, because it gets "Best smartphone" category by GSMA (GSM Association). But also, the characteristics that make it the best are its modular capability (not the same as Project Ara). It also has multiple accessories called "friends" that can be used by changing the bottom part. One of them is a 360º Cam, which can record video in 2K. And another is a high definition sound card, that improves its quality. It's the first of a succesion of steps in modular smartphones to grow in the market.

Instructions to go to EPAC classroom.

How to go to classroom from Sierra de Guadalupe station.

From Sierra de Guadalupe Metro station (or Vallecas if you are arriving in Cercanías Renfe), at the main entrance, go round the station and go straight to a roundabout (you can identify that because it's next to a Mercadona supermarket).
At the roundabout, go straight (second exit) through Arboleda street, and at the end of the street, you will see a sign that says "Campus Sur".
Go straight to the building in front of you and go to block 1. In the ground floor of this block, you must go to the CIC (Centro de Informática y Comunicaciones) and go to classroom 8. That classroom is at the end of the corridor.
