2. Sony Xperia Z5 Premium

The new Sony Xperia Z5 family, comes with 4K recording abilities, which is hardly surprising given that the feat was available on last year's Xperia Z3 family as well. The flagship smartphone Sony Xperia Z5 Premium comes with new 23MP 1/2.3" Exmor RS sensors. Furthermore, it also comes with hardware OIS system that Sony markets as the SteadyShot Intelligent Active Mode, as well as blazing-fast hybrid autofocus system.

Huawei Nexus 6P come with 12.3MP Sony sensors with an aperture of f/2.0 and large 1.55-micron pixels. The sensors are actually capable of shooting 4K video at 60fps per second, but current-generation smartphone chips, including the Snapdragon 808 and the Snapdragon 810 - are limited at 60fps. 

12 Reasons To Buy The Huawei Watch

The Apple Watch might be the most important smartwatch hitting stores in the coming weeks, but there are also other compelling devices to consider.

The device has popped up on German retail site Billiger, where its listed at €349 (roughly $370) in silver and black variants, or €399 ($424) in a gold color. If that’s accurate, we’re guessing the Huawei Watch prices will translate to $349 and $399 once it arrives in the U.S., putting the device in direct competition with the Apple Watch Sport.

The phones boasts a 5-inch 1080p display, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 615 octa-core CPU, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable internal storage, and Android 5.0 Lollipop.

DALER - A robot that can fly and walk on land

Robotics segment is being replenished with new and new models that facilitate human life. So, as a result of long and laborious work group of Swiss scientists from the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at the Polytechnic of Lausanne Federal Institute managed to create DALER (Deployable Air-Land Exploration Robot) - a robot that can not only move on the ground, but fly like a bat. DALER has wings which are activated by means of the folding mechanism and which can also be used as "foot".

DALER will come covered in a kind of malleable fabric so that its wings can fold up as it moves around on the ground. Not only that, it has a decent flying speed of up to 40 mph, although it would not be much to outrun when it is on the ground at 1 mph.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
