In today's show I'm going to be looking at what's new in technology this week.

今天的展示上，我将展示这周科技方面的新进展。

And I'd like to start by looking at the much-awaited 0P56 mobile phone from technology giants Optiware.

我想先讲讲大家期待已久的0P56手机，是科技巨头Optiware欧帝维尔的产品。

It has some amazing features. The first thing you notice is how much slimmer and lighter² it is compared to the heavier older models.

这款手机有些很棒的特点。首先你们会注意到的是，比起此前的较重的旧型号，这款手机是多么轻薄。

It's incredible considering that they have actually increased the screen size on this one, though it still fits neatly³ into your pocket.

这太不可思议了，考虑到技术人员扩大了手机屏幕，但该手机仍能完美地装入口袋。

They've also improved the camera and you'll find you can take much better quality photos on this model.

该公司也提升了相机性能，你会发现用这款手机，拍的照片质量好多了。

This has an impact on the battery though, as it takes a lot of power and I found it didn't run for very long before needing to be recharged.

当然这对电池也有影响，因为这耗电较多，而且我发现每次充电后续航时间并不长。

Despite all its amazing features, it's extremely easy to use, but I do have to say that it is overpriced, and will be beyond the budget of most people shopping for a new phone.

除了这些棒极了的特点以外，它使用简单，但我必须要说的是，这款手机标价过高了，超过了大多数人买新手机的预算。
