Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet Ultra - 6GB RAM, 4K screen, 12100mAh Battery and more

The leaked insane specifications of Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet Ultra suggests that this device could be the most powerful android device. In addition to a super-sharp 13-inch display and more RAM than you could ever need in a mobile device, the device is also expected to have a giant battery, a 64-bit processor, and of course, PS4 Remote Play.

According to information obtained by Chinese website PadNews, a slate known as the Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet Ultra is looming on the horizon. Not only is it rumored to be big, the tablet could potentially also pack some downright crazy hardware, like a 12.97-inch display with a 3,840 x 2,400 pixel resolution. Indeed, this means we could be in for a 4K Ultra HD screen with a 16:10 ratio.

However, the overall impression of the rumored Z4 does lend itself to some skepticism. The features seem more like the wishlist of a truly dedicated tablet fan and not a realistic leap from what’s currently available with Sony tablets (or almost any other tablets for that matter). Given that the rumored release date of the Sony Xperia Z4 is in January of 2015, the likelihood of all the listed features is even smaller.

Sony Xperia Z3 Camera Problems

Sony Xperia Z3 has the best-in-class 20.7MP camera with Sony's Exmor RS™ for mobile sensor and the first ISO 12800 in a smartphone. The large 1/2.3” Exmor RS™ for mobile image sensor ensures smooth, clear capturing with true-to-life details.

The images below are some of the advertised on Sony's official site.


The phone even with such capabilities it has some problems. Some users have reported an issue with their brand-new Xperia Z3 cameras having a big pink-ish blob in the middle, most often when they try to take a picture indoors. The problem is being discussed on Sony's official boards, as well as on Reddit and XDA Developers' forums.

Pink blotches mar photo taken with the Sony Xperia Z3


Sony has advised users Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact adjust the white balance in the camera settings to get rid of the appearance of pink spots. This action actually fixes the problem, but the image will not correct color rendition. Return to factory settings does not solve the problem.

Have you encountered a similar problem and were able to find a solution there?

Top 5 Advantages of curved display of Samsung Galaxy Note Edge



It's been a while since Samsung tried its hand at a rounded screen, and even longer since the device-maker took a stab at anything resembling a second display. Nevertheless, here is the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, essentially a stylus-toting Galaxy Note 4 with a curved -- and independent -- right edge that has its own purpose and behavior.

Curved like an infinity pool, the touchscreen bend on the Edge's face contains its own contextual controls, app shortcuts, and notifications that you can see and interact with without leaving whichever window you're on.


note edge info 1

The Edge display can give you access to your top apps so you can launch them from anywhere in the OS. We didn’t have an issue with the old sliding drawer from traditional Galaxy Note handsets, but making access to favorite apps more quick and efficient is always a welcome change.

note edge info 2

Since the Edge display can display information independently of everything else, you’ll be able to see incoming notifications no matter what you’re doing, even when viewing full-screen content like games and video. This also works for incoming calls so you won’t be kicked out of your game when an unsuspecting phone call comes in.

note edge info 3

We’re not sure how many of you care about personal expression outside the use of your standard wallpaper, but you can customize the Edge display to show whatever it is you want when it’s not in use. You can add images and text as you see fit, including drawings with the S Pen. Samsung’s main use case for wanting to customize your Edge display is when it’s sitting inside a folio case, but we’d imagine most people would rather have the display off whenever it’s not needed.

note edge info 4

The Ticker Board app can show live information about stocks, sports scores, live news and Twitter trends so you can keep tabs on the latest without having to tab your way through a multi-step user interface. It’s nothing a typical notification can’t handle, but it does look pretty neat.

note edge info 5

Finally, the advent of the Edge display makes way to quick tools that can be used without much effort, including a stop watch, a timer, a ruler, flashlight control and voice recording. Samsung has it 5th on their list, but we’d probably shoot this one closer to the top of the list of useful features the Note Edge enables.

Thermal Imager For Mobile Devices


Owners of mobile phones, for one reason or another and yearn to get this imager should look at the Seek Thermal - miniature thermography compatible with smartphones based on Android and iOS. The device weighs only 14 grams and is able to capture a wide range of temperature: -40 to +330 degrees Celsius. Seek Thermal offers four different ways to measure the temperature.



Connecting to iOS- and Android-powered device is organized with the help of Lightning connectors and micro-USB, respectively. Switching between an ordinary camera and thermal imager in shooting mode occurs with a single swipe. The cost of a thermal camera is $ 199, that for this category of devices is more than acceptable result.

Chuwi V10HD - Tablet Running On Windows 8 And Android

The Chinese company Chuwi introduced a new tablet computer Chuwi V10HD, the main feature of which is the ability to switch between the two operating systems: a full Windows 8 and Android. The rear surface of the plate covered with glass sides have metal inserts, and on one side of Chuwi V10HD are two stereo speakers. To connect to the Internet in the unit has a slot for SIM-card and support for 3G HSPA +.



Chuwi V10HD has a 10-inch IPS-display with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, 64-bit processor Intel Atom Z3735F Bay Trail with a clock speed of 1.83 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 64 GB of internal memory, 5 megapixel primary and 2-megapixel front cameras, as well as the battery capacity of 6800 mAh.



It is expected that Chuwi V10HD will be available not only in China, where the cost will be about $ 275, but also in other regions.

The Night Vision Camera That Can Shoot In Color HD



The average consumer might not have too much use for a camera that’s capable of taking pictures and shooting videos in night vision mode, but its quite essential for journalists on the ground who often find it hard to capture and broadcast events transpiring in places where lighting isn’t exactly favorable. This is where Komamura Falcon Eye KC-2000 steps in. The company has been in this business for over 60 years and its latest product is nothing short of a game changer. The KC-2000 night vision camera is capable of shooting video and taking pictures in color HD, even if its actually almost pitch black.



The KC-2000 is weather sealed, making it immune to the elements. It works through a simple two-button operation, there aren’t a lot of settings to tinker with in order to make it do what it does best. Inside there’s a CMOS 2/3″ image sensor offering 1,280x720p HD resolution with a progressive scanning system and 250 percent dynamic range. Video is captured at 30 frames per second and compressed in H.264 while still images are put out in JPEG. Komamura will initially sell the Falcon Eye KC-2000 in Japan through a network of local dealers before it goes international, no pricing information is available at this point in time.

Vertu for Bentley - A Luxury Smartphone


Vertu is a British manufacturer and retailer of luxury mobile phones and Bentley Motors is a British luxury automaker. Bentley is teaming up with Vertu in a five-year partnership that will see the two firms work together to create ‘distinctive’ luxury smartphones.

Now previous Vertu smartphones have ran on Android, so it’s not far fetched to think that these won’t run Android as well. The smartphones will have a taste of Bentley, but also Bentley drivers will get some exclusive stuff with these four new smartphones. All of which are set to launch in October of this year.

Vertu says the new phones will feature elegant, eye-catching designs as well as premium materials in their construction. The phones will also be designed under the Vertu ethos of a ‘one world phone’ to ensure that owners have the optimum setup for peerless coverage no matter what region they’re in.

World's first Mobile phone with 5000mAh battery (1000 Hours Stand-by)

One of the most important characteristics that we look at a particular device is the battery and one of the most common complaints is that the battery does not last more than a day, especially when talking about high-end devices that are energy intensive.

Most flagships typically hold a maximum of two days and the battery manufacturers sacrifice on the altar of design.

How would you feel if you had a device which comes with a battery that reaches 5000mA; Next month will see these devices are certainly not coming from big companies like Samsung, Apple, Sony, HTC or LG but two rather unknown to us Chinese companies.

The first is the Chinese company Eton for which first heard April that prepares Eton Thor will have 5000mAh battery and will not be so bulky as to be expected, but its thickness will be in 9mm. As for technical features, has the octa-core chipset MediaTek MT6592, has 2GB RAM and Mali-450 GPU. However, it does not support LTE networks while we do not have any information on the screen.

The second company is also Chinese ThL (Technology Happy Life) which revealed the ThL 5000 the first Android smartphone that as seen from its name has 5000mAh battery. The ThL 5000 has 13MP sensor Sony IMX135. The ThL 5000 promises 1,000 hours standby, 47 hours talk time, 11 hours web browsing, 125 ώρες audio listening and 11.6 hours video play.
