As the Mobile World Congress opens its doors in Barcelona, look back on a week of news that has already been marked by the announcements – and the tests – of several high-end smartphones. As a taste of the week to come.

Windows 11 on incompatible PCs
While the technical configuration required by Windows 11 has set aside many PCs that did not take advantage of certain features – we think in particular of TPM 2.0 – it seems that Microsoft is backtracking. The Windows editor could allow the installation of Windows 11 on a PC that does not meet the minimum requirements, but with a watermark display at the bottom right of the screen.
Macs in anticipation at Apple
This year, Apple intends to focus on computers. According to information from the Bloomberg agency, the firm would like to launch no less than seven new PCs in 2022. Of the seven, there would be two new MacBooks and five desktop computers. Above all, a new Mac Pro would be there, as would new machines with an M2 chip.
Better photos at Samsung
Initially reserved for the Galaxy S22 Ultra only, Samsung’s new photo application, Galaxy Expert RAW, will be available for other high-end smartphones from the manufacturer, up to the Galaxy S20 Ultra. This application allows you to capture snapshots in RAW format and manually manage many aspects of shooting such as color temperature, shutter speed or ISO sensitivity.
The test of the week: Oppo Find X5 Pro
While Oppo’s new high-end smartphone was presented on Thursday, we have already had the opportunity to test the Oppo Find X5 Pro. The manufacturer offers here a solid smartphone, capable of claiming the title of smartphone of the year. We were particularly seduced by its superb screen and by the quality of its photos or its very fast charging. Only downside, the battery a bit fair.
