Sony Xperia Z2 ~ Another flagship possibly pops up amid next summer

Yet it could be called another flagship device Sony's going to launch soon, may be next summer in Q1. Surprisingly, I'm a great fan of Sony, since I owned my Sony Mobile. The picture of this device is allegedly above while scrolling up for upcoming smart phones by Sony. This device is not to distinct from it's predecessor Xperia Z1 which is proudly in my pocket, though.

Well, to be honest, this is the collective information as I can't assure that this device is indeed Z2. This is completely unknown as of now but if this rings true, Sony is looking to line up the third flagship device in an year and for any company.

Can it really make splash? January 2013 Xperia Z arrives in market followed up by Xperia Z1 in September 2013 and now, I'm assuming to have Xperia Z2 in my pocket coming summer.



This is phone is apparently seen to have small bezel then it's predecessor had, which imperatively looks that it'll be in larger screen, though, the screen in Xperia Z2 looks to compete with 5.2 Inches smart phone. I'm expecting by seeing the pictures that it'll hit water resistant smartphone market again.

The rumored specifications for this devices are 5.2 inch display, with 509 PPI density which means again I'm going to have bug fun in gaming and watching movies on this devices. Xperia Z and Z1 got 443 PPI density, which seemingly lesser than their successor. Snapdragon 800 processor, 20.7 megapixel camera with 3 GB RAM. though, not necessarily a huge practice to improve Z1 but this spec is barely coming with any device in this session. I cannot guarantee that specs is invincible but I'm bit excited to see this device in my hand.

I could only say, these are some hunches based on quick calculation and speculation, at least I did not hear something official from Sony on this flagship device. It is also claimed that this device will be available in five distinct shades as Apple Iphone 5C is coming. Here are some specification brief I'm going to mention in here.

• The Sony Xperia Z2 will also be called C770X.
• 5.2 Inches Tri-Luminous display ~ 2560*1600 Pixels with 509 PPI.
• 2.3 GHz Quad-Core Processor, Snapdragon 800 Processor,  Krait 400 CPU, Adreno 330 GPU with 3 GB RAM.
• 32 GB internal storage;
• 20.7 MP Camera with Auto focus lens, Dual LED Flash, 2 MP Front facing camera.
• Adroid v4.4 Kit-Kat with Sony Xperia UI
• 4G LTE (100 Mbps HSDPA)
• 3200 mAH Li-ion, non removable battery with approx. 23 hours of talk time.

Hardware and Specification:-

The successor of Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z is Sony Xperia Z2 C770X, could be another high end smartphone if rumor comes true. This device comes with powerful components which comprises 2.3 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragron processor 800 with Krait 4, 400 CPU cores, Adreno 330 GPU and 3 GB RAM. Device will come up with 32 GB internal memory which can be further expanded upto 64 GB. It will be equipped with different sensors like accelerometer, light sensor, proximity sensor, magnetic sensor.

Screen and Design:- 

So when it comes to screen, Sony has always conquered the resolution quality. Here, resolution of this phone will be 2560*1600 Pixels with Tri-luminous LCD display for contrast and high angle view. As I elaborated with pixel density of 509 PPI. The design of the phone will be same as it's predecessor's do. Will it be water-resistant, dust-proof and shock-proof design? I'll be only sure after hearing officially released. It'll come in 5 colors and will be hefted less than 190 gm.

Camera and Multimedia:-

This device will come with same camera as Xperia Z1 had. 20.7 effectively, auto-focused. It'll be having half an inch camera sensor right next to front camera. Sony G lens and an aperture of F/2.0. It seems that device will come up with dual LED flash light easily an assisting feature to get you captured in black nights. This device's camera can record 4000 video as 30 FPS which is huge when I talk about digital camera. As everyone knows, Sony is utmost better player in camera design and technology. So it won't me feel hesitate to say that device's camera is indeed at par.

Software and Features:-

This device will come up with Android latest version 4.4 Kit-Kat. It will be operated on Sony's pet UI for Xperia which I feel to be more intelligent and materialistic than Samsung. Will definitely encompass good widgets, themes and wallpapers and of obvious walkman phone, which is again a flagship symbol Sony does resemble. Well, moreover an Stamina mode must be there, as I always dealt with deplete battery in my phone, so if it comes with Stamina mode, it means there is huge more to do with this device. 

Connectivity and Battery:- 

This beautiful device with full suite of connectivity features. It's 4G LTE supported phone means 100 mbps HSDPA and HSUPA. Coming with Micro-Sim slot. Wi-Fi ac/a/b/g/n/, Bluetooth v4.0 and Micro USB v2.0 port. 3.5 mm jack audio support, it lets you feel the beats of music with some good features like Noise cancellation, up and down of the voice in earpieces. This phone will support a huge back battery of 3200 mAh slightly better than Xperia Z1, I'm better assuming this phone will live up to 23 hours back up, video watching for 12 hours, web browsing of more than 14 hours and go on.

This will be based on conclusive information and not to be subjected to consider an official specs in this device. As soon as it is launched, I'll definitively right up on this and that will not be just conclusive.

Till than take care stay fit and be blessed...:)

LENOVO Launches High End Smart Phone "Lenovo Vibe Z"

 

Though, Lenovo did not unveil the price of phone and so it is still to come in my hands for further reviews but here what I am going to emphasize on, this is first ever Smart Phone made by Lenovo which has the LTE support.

Briefly I am going to tell about it's specification-

• Display~ 5.5 Inch
• Processor~ 2.2 GHz
• Front Camera~ 5-Megapixel
• Resolution~ 1080*1920 Pixel 
• RAM~ 2 GB
• OS~ Android 4.2
• Rear Camera~ 13 Megapixel

I think Lenovo has started competing it's rival Samsung or Sony in the wide range of Smart Phones/Tablets/Phablets. So in here we see an instance, when Lenovo has unveiled this smart phone along 3 other variants in the dynamic market of android devices.

This newest Lenovo smartphone, Vibe Z, is completely the first LTE support phone with the best connectivity of Quad Core Processor 2.2 GHz Snapdragon 800, with the bang internal storage of 16 GB. Well, on this occasion I'm not assuring you that it will probably get it's memory expanded through any sort of card. I can only define it's every feature in details when I probably get a chance to hands-on with it.

However, I can easily say that this phone has curves and it is sleek. This first LTE smartphone from Lenovo hops on yet another wireless standard in 802.11 ac support. As I found that this device is also capable of generating 50 MBPS and 150 MBPS upload and download limit respectively.



Lets come to back of this phone, What you can say a better than 13 MP camera with speedy shooter whose focal length is quite high, with an aperture lens 1.8f,  it lets you shot a great image in low light. Lenovo has also given the front camera a robust technology instead it would give 1.1 or 2.1 MP, it has now 5.0 MP camera. Like I said it has pros of rear camera with very angle almost it has 84 degree of capture angle for making group photos easily captured. The camaera features will be explained further after some time.

Well lets put an eye on other three device Lenovo has subsequently launched, S series of phone S930 and S650 both will run on android 4.2, although I found it little weird, why Lenovo did not launch these devices with latest Android version. Anyway I don't have to be worried, we can have the real scenario behind this after some time. Both the handset come with 1.3 GHz, quad-core Media Tek chips, I don't have to say much more about MediaTek Chips but to be honest, they have many semiconductor device, octa-core processor and heterogeneous multi processors.

Both phones have 8 GB of storage with the mid capacity of 1 GB RAM. The major difference between both are S930 is of 6-inch with 1280*720 Pixels making it identical to Lenovo's phablet and therefore imperative for Lenovo to get it's another device introduced in normal range with normal screen size of 4.7-inch, 960*450 Pixels.

What I found interesting in this Lenovo's phone is, this most advanced and competently enhanced characterized phone, It's got same design as Lenovo's has been using for Vibe Z predecessors. It's a textured plastic body, which has got fame in the name of scratched and fingerprints, when you see this in your hand you will find it is not as premium and flaunted as Sony and Apple do.

I thank to Lenovo's people and developers, who collaboratively developed this phone on Android 4.3 which is very unlike it's twigs.

Well, I can say I haven't had gotten full chance to review this device. But anyhow, I have assembled some relevant information to take this device in consider.  Other simple specification this phone's got ~ NFC Chip, Wi-fi b/g/n/ac, GPS, LTE with atleast 150 MBPS as I mentioned and a 3000 mAh sealed out battery again you don't have chance to get it off the phone, once your phone might get hanged inappropriately. This is unveiled in China and will be available in February in Southern Asia and Middle East. Lenovo has no point to bring this device in Pacific Countries.

Stay Update and be blessed. Will get in touch with you soon...:)

NOKIA LUMIA 1520

 

What is the reality about a Windows Devices and an Android Device? only a customized range and variety of gaming and doing complex programming. But we have got a windows phone which can be customized in order to view what you want your phone to be. Why people are rushing back to Android Device despite we have a great view in here is this Nokia Lumia 1520. When I first saw this mobile, I have had nothing to do except to compare it with my Sony Xperia Z1 and here I'm uploading the pic and want you to see what a big bash Nokia has designed in order to confront latest Tablet/Hybrids, smartphone on Android base.

Well, here we talk about Nokia Lumia 1520. Why this device is so large and what kept Nokia thinking to make such a big bash and launch in market?

This Lumia device is huge no doubt and in a same time this is the landmark phone in Windows 8 history. Nokia Lumia 1520 is loaded with customized Apps with power pack 2.3 GHz Snapdragon processor which helps this devices in clicking the pictures and sharing them in couple of seconds. It's has come up with 2GB of RAM, to be honest, I was expecting Nokia to unveil the hard Spec. It was missing in all Lumia Devices since 800 Launched. I guess this phone was Nokia trying to launched a time ago but then would have decided to hold this device as they wanted to design it with mega huge screen 6-Inch, which can be said a truly identical to Phablet.

DESIGN AND FEATURES

The Nokia Lumia 1520 runs on latest Windows OS and also one of the biggest phone Nokia has even made. This Lumia is designed as same as it's predecessors were. It's build up with same plastic which is in contrast of flaunting it's effulgent coating on back panel. The screen in terms of quality and PPI has outrun other devices that's I can assure you. It also fits in a very defined market niche. It's little bulky to handle and intricate to shove in your pockets until ypour jeans and trousers aren't too skinny. But people who can't compromise with their quality of product and big screen to play cock and hen. It's a great device to buy with latest windows OS.

Now, it's hard to hide to size of the device, it's not that thick which I thought of. This device will look huge when you first hold it and once you are in habit, you will find it bulky and intricate to handle quite easy in public place. This is also hard to be used this device as single handed but as far as I'm concerned about the size every phone which has larger screen then Samsung Galaxy S3 is hard to operate by single hand.

Although the back panel is quite effulgent as I said may be not necessarily being seen by you because everything-looks-yellow-to-jaundice-eye, I found this series more effulgent and back panel is shown more flaunting then front. It's a unibody device that means, you may not have a chance to get it's battery out off the phone and it feels lovely in your hands. Still I believe except Nokia, Sony and Apple can make such a flaunting hardware spec and body.

Sim size problem arisen in this device, Nokia used an old tradition to put a Nano sim slot rather than Micro Sim slot. People who are using smartphone almost in every phone I have seen Micro Sim so they may find it difficult to put micro sim in this device or they have to buy the sim as well to operate this device. 

DISPLAY

Anyone don't have to recommend any comment on the screen made by Nokia Lumia for this device. Unlike other device this device has IPS rather then AMOLED, However, AMOLED is quite good and more rich in color experience and video streaming and camera rolling but this ain't either bad. It's 6 inch model with the resolution of 1080*1920. Well, I can say there is prominent difference between both the screen but I felt AMOLED has more saturated colors and more dark text then IPS got. 

This IPS Screen is rich, colorful and responsive. Most unforgettable thing is PPI~367, although not higher then my Xperia Z1 but still quality and true colors are appreciable. Although, human eye can't make much more interface far than ~340 PPI but the Nokia Lumia 1520 has sharp text, enhanced video and photo does look smarter and better. If we take it's size for gaming, video and browsing it seems quite appealing to have such a wonderful big screen. Any sort of Microsoft Office document, PPT,XLS and other formats as PDF, CHM and ePUB are identically far enough approachable to be easily operable on this screen. One can use this with graphics and charts that generally don't work with smaller phones.

As earlier I mentioned this is not good as AMOLED screens are. Since the black text and it's level and contrast are not much deep as AMOLED screen but the Nokia Lumia 1520 is still good in both perspective.

SPECIFICATION

This device is really an speeding device. Unlike, it's predecessors, it's quad-core processor 2.3 GHZ Snap dragon 800. This is the fastest I have seen in any windows phone The phone completed the Sunspider JavaScript benchmark in an incredibly fast 536ms, which makes it almost twice as quick as the Nokia Lumia 1020 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in this test, and the quickest phone I've seen in this benchmark bar. I have used the Windows 8 Internet Browser and it is incredibly fast.

Web browsing is a dream on this handset, as the phone almost never hesitates as you zoom in and out and pan around web pages, even complicated graphics-heavy ones. The phone's screen is also large enough, in terms of size and resolution, to read desktop web pages fairly comfortably when fully zoomed out, but, as expected, it's still not quite as easy as reading pages on a 7in or 10in tablet. The only irritation is the way that the Back button behaves. When you're in a web browsing session pressing the button will take you back through your previous pages, as expected, but if you ever go back to the main app screen and then reopen your browser, you will lose the previous pages you visited; the Back button will now only go back to the app tray. You can at least get around this by bringing up the recent pages menu.

I couldn’t run our normal 3DMark benchmark as it's not available for Windows Phone, but I could run the GFXBench T-Rex test in Full HD. The Nokia Lumia 1520 completed this with an average frame rate of 25fps, which is essentially the same as the 26fps we saw from the Galaxy Note 3. Challenging 3D games such as Halo Spartan Assault run beautifully on the Nokia Lumia 1520.

Software and Apps

Nokia has been bringing some good and definite app for their customers and add extra software in order to compete in the market.

Nokia Maps being a key software for any Nokia device. You get the different variant of Nokia Maps, Guide, Drive, Navigation. This go strength to strength. Nokia Mix Radio, with all its free track, music mixes and offline support. I have ever seen that the music does operate from skydrive online but here music can be obtained in offline mode. I'm influenced by some incredible apps as Nokia Screen Beamer and HERE Maps. This is evolution of Photo Beamer app earlier was seen in Nokia devices in which you could share the picture in another device, Unlike here what you got on your Nokia Lumia 1520's screen that'w what you can share in here.

What you have to do in order to get it done, Just got to go to beam.nokia.com in other's device web browser, scan the QR code shown in the browser, Your device's screen will be seen in other devices' screen in real time. Well, i should say it's a great way to just share the phone screens without being fussed up with cables and wires.

Offline mapping support earlier we found in Nokia Symbain Devices. I loved to browse Nokia Maps in offline mode with 99.9 percent accuracy in respect to time, distance and speed and accurate road maps until a new construction is made which is unknown to Nokia or their map's developers. You can download the data as many as region you want to download, You can have storage for those maps unlike limited access by Google. HERE Maps are complemented by the HERE drive.

This is generic view, how does HERE maps work?. What i loved about it, Vitally Unlike Google and Apple Map, it lets you download maps offline also and making the navigation far more robust.

Windows Phone 8 is an erratic OS to use, too. In some places it's effortlessly simple and I love its Live Tiles with a slightly unreasonable passion, but in others it over complicates and places simple actions one step further away than is ideal. For example, while it sounds great that the Photos app pulls in photo updates from Twitter and Faebook in the 'What's New' view, I'd sooner just see our own damn photos straightaway.

PERFORMANCE

I have got to say that the phone is really powerful as we compare it with Nokia's predecessors. It's 2.3 GHz quad-core SnapDragon Processor 800 and 2 GB RAM fair enough to regulate high class gaming at full whack. Really games give them a way out. Now I'm going talk about the camera quality which Nokia Lumia 1520 has. No doubt benefit from extra processing power but as usual it's extremely rare that one can use full throttle of the processor.

CAMERA

What the next thing to be discussed is Nokia Lumia 1520's camera. It's a got the Pure View Technology It's lets you capture high quality picture in low light. It has the BSI Sensor (back side illuminated) and optics from Carl Ziess in an occurrence to capture high quality photos in Night light. Here we have the hardware picture from Nokia Lumia 920 the same technology is being depicted in Nokia Lumia 1520.

In this, Nokia Lumia 1520  means you get the 20 MP sensor, compared to 41 MP camera in Nokia Lumia 1020 with this, you also have Nokia Lumia Fancy Pro Cam app. Let me define you what this is all about, This is a well designed camera program which makes it easy to adjust settings and preview the results as well as crop the images non-destructively and pics doesn't demolish as it does in other smart phones. It's big sensor lets you crop the image and zoom it after wards without losing the pixel density and lets you send the picture via emails and upload on Facebook and Twitter pages.

Overall image quality is very good. The Nokia Lumia 1520 produces daylight pictures with accurate colors and, unlike many smartphone cameras I see, didn’t overexpose the sky in our test shots. It's generally a fine camera, but when zooming in slightly to the brickwork in our test shots I noticed the 1520's images were significantly less sharp than the 1020's, and the reduced resolution evidently cuts down on the amount you can zoom in before you start losing significant amounts of detail. Here I let you the results I have found.

Lumia 1520

Lumia 1020

NOKIA CORE PRO 

App gives level of control scrappy on other phones. You have full control over all the kinds of things you'll find on advanced dedicated cameras, such as white balance, exposure, ISO and plenty more. What's more, the dial system for tweaking all the above is intuitive and fast. There's exposure bracketing for the truly adventurous, too, while a burst mode (of sorts) lets you create coll looking action photos.

NOKIA REFOCUS

It is amazing feature in camera I have ever discovered. Alike, an SLR camera of Sony, it lets you create a different environment while picking up any shot. You decide how much emphasize you'd like to put in a shot specialy a foreground or background blur technice. Technically and specifically I have seen this feature in optical camera but seldom, in digital camera this feature is ducked. Here I'm showing you the power of this feature.

Front Focus and Back Focus

COLOR PICKER

I have always loved to manage my pictures when I specially emphasize on different colors which let me define my picture in my own style with my own color preferences. Well, lets talk about this feature, It is called color picker or color pop, It's really dramatic and  cool app feature, lets you create fun , attractive shots. Only problem I have felt , sometime it finds intricate to emphasize on special color when you zoom in to see pretty small and insignificant objects.

BATTERY LIFE AND CALL SOUND

With a huge 3,400mAh battery to power it, the Nokia Lumia 1520's battery life ought to astound. It isn't quite as good as I initially expected, but it's very good all the same. My day using the Nokia Lumia 1520 started around 7 AM with a full charge. After an hour-long commute listening to music the whole way, browsing the internet and a smattering of photo opportunities, the battery stood at 85%.It was left mostly idle with Wi-Fi on until lunchtime, though I turned off Wi-Fi around 12:00 and took a few test photos. By 1:30 PM it had 60% left, which dropped to 44% by 4 PM after a meeting in which I used evernote to take notes and took some time to rattle off 10 or so more test shots.

Later on I spent an hour or so listening to music with the screen off, which means when I headed home at 6:30 I had 31% left. Post the journey home, where I mostly read a book with a small sprinkling of browsing and gaming, the 1520's battery read 20%. This was enough to last the rest of the evening where it mostly sat idle.

Call quality is sound. The earpiece is loud and precise, with no annoying distortion or compression of voices. I never had any trouble making myself heard, either, even with a moderate amount of background noise. The built-in speaker, however, is poor. It's not very loud and because it's on the back, it's hard to use it as a speakerphone for hands-free calls when you're at home -- something worth considering if you like to use the speakerphone often.

VERDICT

Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, which ups the phablet game with its stylus and pen-friendly software tweaks, the Lumia 1520 is a simpler device; a Windows Phone 8 handset with a very big, high-resolution screen. It’s a combination that works, though; the Lumia 1520 is fast, beautifully made and has a good screen, so if you fancy a phone/tablet hybrid with Windows Phone 8's advantages of super-fast performance and arguably the best-looking interface out there, it's the handset to buy. It brings Windows Phone hardware on par with the rest of the smartphone world, but the software still needs a bit of work.

I am still wanting to buy this device...:)

SONY XPERIA Z "EVIDENTLY SWIFT"

OVERVIEW:-

PROS:-

1. Water Resistant
2. Video Camera 
3. HD voice 
4. Stunned Music

CONS:-

1. Hike in Price
2. Non Movable Battery
3. Not compatible with MAC
4. Great Bugs

This stunning new Android  smart phone is again an incredible product brought to you by Sony. All new features make it wholly a flaunting thing with super sleek body, screen size gamut to 5 inches, resolution 1920x1080 Pixels. Incorporating a quad-core 1.5 GHz processor and an influential camera of 13 MP. To make the things and task more convenient.

If we are going to roll back the model made by Sony were quite promising for their brand name. This time Sony doesn't wanna let their user to get diffused to other brands. All of the cutting-edge design to protect the phone and the consequence, it can bear, will outlast for more than 30 minutes in deep 1 meter water.

This is ever phone made by Sony in the battle field of Quad-Core Processor. There is going to be havoc in the market of driven-expanding quad core processors.

Let's talk about few intense specification this gigantic thing has obtained. 1.5 GHz Quad-Core Processor, 13 MP Camera, 16 GB Internal Memory , 2 GB RAM (DUST PROOF and WATER PROOF) and surly how we are going to leave it's most prominent 1050 P display which encompasses HD Bravia Engine Sony's Flagship. 

Now for the most prominent thing the moment I commenced to open up the box I found my self so wonder struck  It makes you sensate that some effulgent and glossy thing has been transformed in to something paradise. High glossy material from back and front penal doesn't make it too distinct from an Apple I phone.

DISPLAY and DESIGN:-

Though it might be not wrong to say that I have appraised it but when you're going to view through your Tinted Technology Geek glares you are going to see the juggling of this Android Smart Phone.

There's a massive style change by Sony are the curved edges and rounded corner body which actually defined so much like on this smart phone. Definitively, This sleek stylish icon in the world of gadgets is going to get many casual alike. 

One thing which I have got that Sony doesn't have in generic that every smart phone have that it is pure magnet for your fingerprints.

Cladding in super sleek shatterproof panel enduing it a glossy look and appearance which is making it slightly distinct. At just 7.9 mm in thickness , it's also an extreme tender and svelte. Weighing 146 Grams, surely not a lightest phone but going to mull you that something is unlike to exert. At the very end of the phone, you will see another glossy plastic is being stuck as an strap which is further enhancing this handsome aesthetic.

 

If you're arriving from somewhere like Samsung Galaxy S3, It'll sensate you identically same but if a little longer even then, in perspective of size. This handset is coming with 139x71x7.9mm / 5.47x2.70x0.31 Inches. So there's gonna little room to make this thing settle down either in your fist or in your pocket.

All the ports at the corner of the phone is clad by straps in order to withstand with dust and water. As talked above this phone can be sunk in water with 1 meter depth till 30 minutes which actually mean it you drown it down it can retrieve it swiftly, there will be no harm done as proposed by Sony.

The ports are shattered out with the headphone jack, as you can see the sim slot and volume rocker are on the right side of this phone. While charging jack and micro SD slot are on left side.The front of the Sony Xperia Z is minimalist - showing off only a Sony logo and front-facing camera. The rear is a little busier, with various tech info printed on it, plus the Sony Xperia logo, an NFC badge, camera light and the all-important lens. That back is stuck fast - as is becoming the custom, you'll have no luck if you want to remove the battery.

Incorporating 5 Inches 1920x1080 Pixels "True Display" pops basically with color and vibrancy in terms of effulgent glisten with a power packing Pixel density of 443ppi. If these ain't rumors for Samsung Galaxy S4 then will have to make step by step watching eye on it. Although, this 1080 Pixel HD quality has very distinct clarity which can only be expected to see in Televisions. It is also confirmed, sadly writing, but some of the apps of Android are not framed for such a high resolution display .

I'm still fan- this is a razor sharp display from one of the world's premier screen manufacturers, although it doesn't have the wow factor of the HTC One's Super LCD 3 screen.

PROCESSING POWER AND SOFTWARE:-

This's another Flagship phone for Sony to reckon in the world of Quad-Core Gadget. It's although taken so long to get entered in this market. Inside this skinny case I have found 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro chip, backed by a roomy 2GB of RAM. This makes it one of the fastest Android phones around, and the usual gamut of benchmark tests reveal some truly fearsome power.

Well, this bang power has all got to short work for most of Android apps and games but still there are some slowdown and impediments since the Nexus 4 has arrived and shown the tendency and desirability to work even more glibber than a butter. Hopefully, a software update shall make this phone resurrected.

This phone is arriving with Android 4.1 onboard, although Sony has disseminated that 4.2 is pushed out for this smart phone. Sony has just sat on the top OS of google's and flaunting the exclusive embellishment of their products.The lock screen is particularly fetching. It imitates the look of a set of window blinds, and moving your finger over the surface of the screen causes the blinds to ripple and bend. You can also access your music player and camera from the lock screen, although the camera app doesn’t fire up anywhere near as quickly as the one on the Nexus 4.

Sony has finally toned down it's customized widget on this phone and social aggregator was completely alienated which is going to assent you to customize your widget like Voice Recording and Calculators from Android Multi-Tasking menu. Many apps can be raised from Google-Play Market.

INTERNET AND CONNECTIVITY:-

If certainly you had mulled HSDPA+ on Nexus 4 was fast. You will be identically blown away for what you're going to see in Sony Xperia Z. As in the screen shot is uploaded with "Daily Mail" site as it is data heavy site. You won't rely if I am stating that Wi-fi took four second to load the content. Although it has got apparently proved. But when I took it down to LTE, it got even more swift. 

Those who aren't keen on Chrome can always replace it as their default browser with something else - Firefox, Dolphin, Maxthon and Opera, to name a few, all provide credible alternatives - but I can't see a strong reason to switch unless you are massively anti-Google.

Or unless text reflow is a big deal, because by default, it didn't seem to work straight out of the box on the Sony Xperia Z.

NFC, This has been associated with Android Since Google Nexus S was launched in 2010. Aside to this few hardware manufacturer have quite frequent in seizing the opportunity of its power. Very seriously, indeed Sony has pushed it's Xperia Z to exercise this technology. 

NFC assent the device to communicate with other Sony products, such as the latest range of Bravia televisions. Just by touching the phone to the TV, you can mirror the screen to show off your gigantic 13.1-megapixel snaps. This kind of connectivity feels like the future, and it’s encouraging to see Sony adopting such a forward-thinking approach. Of course, you’ll have to invest in an expensive telly to take advantage of it, but knowing such a feat is possible could influence your purchasing choice next time you’re in the audiovisual section of your local electronics retailer -- a fact which Sony really should be exploiting with more enthusiasm.

CAMERA AND VIDEO:-

Sony's hindmost camera's are no significantly stranger to putting on it's mobile phone so does Sony Xperia Z exception? indeed, negative, it propose you with stunning 13.1 MP Camera. Sony's latest phone yielded some graceful images, enduing some good snapshots

Sony is one of the giant or beast when the matter comes to camera . Some of it's phone in conjunction with Ericsson were more nominated for their best camera part. I had a throwback. A Megapixel camera! What diabolism or  sorcery was this, I wondered? Now, I get 2.2MP on the front snapper alone - which tends to be used for vanity purposes on Instagram, or for Skype action. Previously, this  haven't had mattered, but with LTE support, sending higher quality video is much easier and much more of a reality. 2.2MP is therefore pretty appropriate.

And that's pretty much the poor relation here when you consider what's on the back - a whopping 13.1MP camera, shooting at 4128 x 3096 pixels and capable of some amazing images. Or you'd think so. Sadly, I would describe my results as an average at best.

The usual picking of options are present and correct, including image stabilization and HDR. You can also use 'Superior Auto' and allow the phone itself to select the correct scene for the snap you’re taking. HDR is also available during video recording, which results in some gorgeous footage -- although like HDR stills, you should be anticipated for some almost unreal, otherworldly results.

BATTERY LIFE:-

It's rigrous to get an accurate battery life reading, because the Sony Xperia Z is not just a phone. Gone are the days when i'd simply quote talk times, since you're more than likely to spend more time on the web or using apps than actually speaking to friends. Sony itself claims you'll get up to 11 hours of talk time and 550 hours of standby time. Of course, that is in optimum conditions (and on 2G - which is two levels down from the norm these days, but there's nothing quite like massaging figures). And while the battery is large at 2330mAh, I'd say those estimates are pretty optimistic.

With a bright resolution and 5 Inch Screen and a Quad core CPU it's very substantial that Xperia Z is quite a  boar in terms of battery indeed. If you're going to use a phone in a pile quantity , web application , music, calls with high brightness of screen , you will only obtain four to five hours in maximum stipulated time.

Sony is clearly aware of this and has introduced Stamina Mode, which completely disables all mobile data activity when your screen powers down. When engaged at night, Stamina Mode is aggressive enough to ensure that battery consumption is as meager as possible -- during my test, I noticed that the battery level hardly dropped at all during the wee hours. CHUCKLES!!!

VERDICT:-

The quad-core processor is a monster, the 1080p screen is pin-sharp and the waterproof design will help the phone find favour with butter-fingered mobile users who are prone to accidentally dropping their expensive devices into random pools of liquid.

With the Xperia Z, Sony has fired the first shot in the smart phone war of 2013, and while I'm sure that Samsung’s reply -- which should come in the shape of the hugely-anticipated Galaxy S4 -- will be equally impressive, this is one of the best Android devices money can buy right now.

"ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE "

ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE "SUBTLE"

THE PROS:-

• Millions of bucks through everywhere starting from the corner till the mid-level.
• Audio System is an excellent feature and even more better audio system is available and enhanceable.

THE CONS:-

• Automated Manual Transmission requires power dips at each transmission.
• Differentiation in screen of navigation.

OVERVIEW:-

Aston Martin the name is clearly describing why this car is launched and for what sake it is prime choice mostly in Europe and Asia. Over last 15 years no vehicles has epitomized the way V8 Vantage does. This car has outplayed most the best car in the world and continuing on the top in the hierarchic table. Undoubtedly outplayed most and played the biggest revival over the few decades. 

Handcrafted and manufactured in England, V8 Vantage is a convertible super car. This car was actually unveiled in the year 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show. As an early level V8 vantage evades in the shadow of high performing vantage S models. The Glitz, Glamour and bright lights enlighten its flaunting body and strew its outstanding performance. The vantage has actually meant for aggression, focus over the driving and for compactness power pack. Probably they had to deliver all those spades in it . If it has to keep pace with the number of outstanding rivals in the same class of the market. Though being "Aston Martin" would not enough to stand against accomplished cars. The 2012 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster may rarely earn the showroom spotlight and infrequently grace the front cover of a magazine, but don't ever accuse it of lacking competency or charm – it's an unappreciated gem.

DESIGN AND EXTERIOR:-

So when it comes to Aston Martin V8 Vantage, it simply incorporates with some outsstanding feature which is going to make you love this car from the very sight. It encompasses of all styling elements that made V8 such a sophisticated but I'm talking about this in smaller frame.

The details are luxuriously effective, notice the intricate xenon lights with inner LED indicators, the cut-out vents struck through with a bone line of chrome that flows into the metal of the door, and the elegant flip-out door handles. Even the rear-view mirrors are unusual, with long, slim supports locating 

them in front of the side glass quarter light.

The Vantage is the third car, after the Vanquish and DB9, to use Aston’s VH platform – a chassis of lightweight aluminium extrusions, pressings and castings bonded and riveted.

The chassis contributes only 183kg to the Aston’s kerb weight – a figure measured is 1585 kg. It’s clothed in a mixture of aluminium, steel, composite and magnesium body panels, and they make a truly spectacular suit. A surprisingly low, squat car, its proportions basically promote an aggressive aura even before the shape is taken into context. The Vantage is considerably more compact than big-brother DB9: 313mm shorter, 60mm lower and 140mm shorter in the wheelbase. The result is a definite wheel-at-each-corner stance with less overhangs – always a prime ploy for creating aggression.

Inside the two-place cabin, the layout is mostly unchanged. This means the now-familiar smorgasbord of buttons and switches, only logical to an Aston Martin engineer, are carried forward. The cockpit is ergonomically challenged – and that's about as succinctly as it may be stated. I suspect few will care where the secondary operating controls are located, as they will already be intoxicated from the aroma of yards of full grain leather upholstery (with tastefully executed contrasting stitching) and spellbound by the gorgeous piano black trim at the top of the dash. The cabin appointments are exquisite.

Hand-built British craftsmanship comes at a premium. The 2013 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster (with Sportshift II) starts with a base price of $138,200. With its handsome Tungsten Silver exterior over Obsidian Black leather interior, was wearing more than a few options. These included 10-spoke silver diamond turned 19-inch wheels, upgraded audio, carbon fiber and silver-painted brake calipers for a grand total of $155,991.

The seats are quite comfortable for long journey, People intend to go for a long drive will be having a great pleasure to opt for this car. Behind the seats there's a advantageous carpet storage area, I seem a big enough to put a briefcase even. It's basically a hatchback and the 300 Litre boot under the boot shelf is quite enough and well shaped and ample for the class.

As time has progressed since the Vantage’s launch, Aston has become more generous with the standard equipment levels. Full leather wasn’t standard initially, but now it is. Satellite navigation, produced by Garmin replaces the poor Volvo unit previously installed, is fitted as standard, alongside cruise control and Bluetooth. Aston prides itself on offering ‘personalized specification’ of vehicles and it remains easy for prospective owners to rapidly inflate the list prices of their orders.

PERFORMANCE AND RIDING:-

Bolted up front, but aft of the front axle (mid-front engine placement), is an all-aluminum naturally aspirated 4.7-liter V8 developing 430 horsepower at 7,300 rpm and 361 pound-feet of torque at 5,000 rpm. Customers are offered a choice of transmissions. A few opt for the rear mid-mounted six-speed manual gearbox, but the more popular transmission, and the one fitted to our test car, is the rear mid-mounted Sportshift II seven-speed single-clutch automated gearbox that is fed its mechanical energy through a carbon fiber propeller shaft. (The Vantage was launched with the first-generation six-speed Sportshift, but it was upgraded to the seven-speed box in 2012.) A limited-slip rear differential is standard, driving only the rear wheels. According to Aston Martin, the power pack  is strong enough to launch the 3,770-pound V8 Vantage Roadster to 60 miles per hour in 4.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 180 mph.

The front suspension features independent double wishbones incorporating anti-dive geometry, coil springs, anti-roll bar and monotube dampers. The rear underpinnings utilize independent double wishbones with anti- squat and anti-lift geometry, coil springs, an anti-roll bar and monotube dampers, while the spring rates and damping are fixed. The brakes were significantly upgraded and the tires widened by 10 mm for the 2012 model year. The standard stopping package now includes ventilated and grooved two-piece floating discs (15 inches in diameter) with six-piston monobloc calipers up front and ventilated and grooved discs (13 inches in diameter) with four-piston calipers in the rear. The 19-inch alloys on our test car were wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires in staggered sizes (245/40ZR-19 in the front and 285/35ZR-19 in the rear)

Aston basically claims a 4.7sec sprint to 60mph for the manual model, and this can be matched by the Sportshift II automatic – in reality a clutchless manual transmission that’s operated by steering wheel paddles or via an auto mode. There’s also the Vantage S, a more focused edition that extracts 10bhp more from the same engine and can crack 62mph in 4.3sec.Regardless of edition, though, the bottom line is this: the Vantage requires extending through its rev range if it’s to feel top-drawer quick, and the throttle response and pick-up low down aren't as crisp and urgent as they are in a Porsche 911. It still need to be advanced in its class.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION:-

Many of today's exotic sports cars have been over-engineered to the point of being sterile (thanks to overzealous engineers chasing perfection), but this aluminum-bodied British two-seater has quirks, idiosyncrasies and genuine mannerisms. The unconventional parking brake operation, distinctive behaviour of the automated gearbox, bewildering ergonomics and even the backward sweep of the tachometer needle all contribute to its very alluring personality. Toss in its drop-dead gorgeous appearance, rich interior and the velvety V8 exhaust note, and I've swallowed the Roadster's disposition, hook, line and sinker. So here comes the technical specification.
