The French electronics manufacturer Archos showed a new smartphone during the fair - Access 57 - a budget model with narrow frames and Android 8.1 Oreo in Go edition. The range of speakers from Google Assistant also looks interesting.

ARCHOS claims that the Access 57 model was designed for users looking for a reliable smartphone at a reasonable price. The device is equipped with a quad-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of memory for data, with the option of expanding to 64 GB using SD cards and a battery with a capacity of 2400 mAh. This combination, together with the Android 8.1 Oreo Go Edition, is well suited to basic applications. Access 57 has a screen with a diagonal of 5.7 inches, with an aspect ratio of 18: 9 and a resolution of 960x480 pixels. The smartphone has two cameras, a microUSB port for charging and transferring data between the device and the computer, a standard 3.5 mm mini jack connector and support for two SIM cards. ARCHOS Access 57 will be available for sale from October 2018, and the suggested retail price is EUR 79.99.


At the stand you can also watch the presentation of intelligent Hello speakers - they integrate with Google Assistant and allow you to give voice commands. The manufacturer has also prepared the Hello Connect application, thanks to which the accessory can be combined with Smart Home systems. Each speaker has a built-in webcam to enable video calling. Another curiosity is the Archos Safe-T mini - a hardware wallet for cryptocurrencies that will protect them from theft. The device allows you to generate and store private keys on a physical medium - keys are stored offline, and the transaction requires connecting the wallet to a computer, smartphone or tablet using a USB cable.
