Sony Mobile has really done their part to pull themselves up from being an ordinary smartphone manufacturer to one who has beautiful and brilliant designs, this I cannot deny. Ever since they split from the Ericsson merger, Sony Mobile’s concerted efforts have proved to be drool worthy, and their newer flagship models are always a step in the right direction. The recently announced Sony Xperia Z Ultra is set to wow plenty of people, where it boasts of being the slimmest

and largest Full HD smartphone display in the world, sporting a Galaxy Note 2-challenging 6.4” Full HD TRILUMINOS display that is powered by X-Reality for mobile engine, ensuring your eyeballs are in for a treat.

Not only that, the entire Xperia Z Ultra has been carefully crafted to come in an ultra slim body which measures just 6.5mm thin, and it also conforms to waterproof and dust-resistant (IP55/IP58) standards. Running proceedings from within would be a speedy quad-core 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, alongside LTE support for blazing fast performance. Not only that, the Xperia Z Ultra allows you to write and sketch on it using any pencil, with the option to use a selected stylus or pen to boot.

Sony claims that there is also the Battery STAMINA Mode which ought to help owners of the Xperia Z Ultra extend its daily use, considering the relatively high power consumption required by the various hardware specifications of the smartphone itself. This unique Battery STAMINA Mode would be able to detect when the phone is not in use, and shut down the various apps that are idle in order to conserve juice. Running on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean as the operating system of choice, the Xperia Z Ultra comes with an 8-megapixel shooter that does Full HD video recording, a front-facing 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity, NFC support, 16GB of internal memory and a microSD memory card slot.

The Newest Smart Phone

The smartphone is not a device that handles all of your calls properly while ensur ing that your live is a whole lot more organized – with a slew of new apps rolling out as well as accessories that can connect to your smartphone directly via a physical cable or over a Bluetooth connection, you can be sure that the landscape of smartphone accessories is forever changed. Case in point, the Withings Pulse might be something that folks who emphasize a lot on fitness might want to check out, being a powerful and pocket-sized activity tracking tool which was specially designed from ground up in order to help users achieve personal health and fitness goals.

It can be said that for the first time ever seen on an activity tracker, the Withings Pulse would see the inclusion of heart rate measurement as well as automatic run detection in order to have it track the number of steps taken, distance covered, elevation, calories burned, and quality of sleep. Hmmm, I suppose quality of sleep can be measured by how much one moves, and chances are it would be at its most accurate when you happen to sleep alone without anyone else in the room messing up its readings with their snores and movement.

The Withings Pulse will synchronize with a smartphone using Bluetooth Smart, while there is the free Withings Health Mate App where all the data will be collected and displayed in real time. The Withings Pulse tips the scales at a mere 8 grams and measures a diminutive 1.69 inches, meaning it is unobtrusive and is small enough to be inserted into a pocket, bag, or even used with the included clip on a belt, shirt or bra. Right in front lies a fully functioning OLED touch display, letting you use your finger to navigate through the screens while browsing through the past fortnight’s worth of collected data. At the back lies a heart rate sensor which requires you to place your finger in order to take a reading.

The Withings Pulse will play nice with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad, iPod touch 4th gen, iPod touch 5th gen and Android devices 2.3.3 or higher.

The Newest SmartWatch

When it comes to the smartwatch industry, you could say that this is still a young market which is relatively untapped, but finding the correct killer combination of hardware as well as software is the secret recipe that has yet to be discovered. Sure, Android has their champion in the form of the Pebble timepiece, and there are also whispers that Apple might come up with an iOS-powered iWatch. Still, a bird in hand is worth two in the bush, which is why the Meteor smartwatch by Kreyos is an interesting proposition. It is an Indiegogo project at the moment, and will play nice with Apple’s iOS, while boasting voice and gesture control support to boot.

The Meteor will feature a three-axis gyro, carry an accelerometer and other motion sensors which are capable of detecting things like wrist motion. The wrist motion detection can be customized so that you will be able to effect the right response with a movement which you are most comfortable with. Voice control would also come in handy during those moments when both of your hands are occupied.

Samsung Announces The New Galaxy S4 Mini.

 

South Korea's Samsung Electronics on Thursday unveiled a slimmed down version of its flagship Galaxy S4 smartphone as the company looks to tap the mid-range market.
The Galaxy S4 Mini has a scaled down 4.3-inch display and weighs in at 107 grams, making it easy to carry and operate with just one hand, the company said in a statement.

"We want to give people more choices with the Galaxy S4 mini—a similar look and feel to the Galaxy S4 but for more compact and practical usage," said J.K. Shin, head of Samsung's IT and mobile communication division.

The S4 Mini's release follows a pattern for the company of releasing variations of its top phones at different price points in order to target budget-conscious customers, though Samsung has not yet announced its price or launch date.

Equipped with a 1.7GHz dual core processor, the Mini also boasts an 8.0-megapixel rear-facing camera and 1.9-megapixel HD front-facing camera.

The full-sized S4, with its high-definition, five-inch screen, has become Samsung's fastest selling smartphone to date, shifting more than 10 million units globally within a month of its April 26 launch.

The world's top handset maker hopes the S4 will expand its presence in high-end markets in the United States and elsewhere, crowding out archrival Apple and its iconic iPhone.
