4 years after they wowed us with their first iteration of the Hololens, Microsoft have finally revealed version 2.0 of the mixed reality headset. There are a lot of improvements in both hardware and software and you never know, you may soon be sporting one on your head at your workplace to get things done. There were also new phones galore at Barcelona’s MWC 2019. Whether it’s from Huawei, LG, Xiaomi or whatever – they come in all different sizes and yes, some of them even fold.
As always, we cover all angles using clips from different sources so you get everything you need to know, right here on The Lazy Couch podcast.
