Hoping to change the situation, the company released mid-end smartphone HTC One A9, which, in the opinion of many people, is a copy of iPhone 6 / 6S.

New smartphone HTC One X9 is a device of the middle class, which is expected to be presented in early 2016. If you look closely at the pictures you can see that manufacturer decided to place logo at the top. Thus, HTC One X9 looks more compact. It is possible that these changes will be applied for the flagship smartphone HTC One M10 in 2016.

Smartphone with 5.5-inch screens have become the standard, and HTC One X9 is not an exception. Screen resolution is also the standard for mid-range devices – 1920 x 1080 pixels. Inside the mobile device is a processor MediaTek 6795 with a clock frequency of 2.2 GHz. Interesting choice of HTC to the graphics accelerator PowerVR G6200 GPU from Imagination Technologies.

New smartphone will be released in two versions: the first model will have 2GB of RAM, while the second model will come with 3GB of RAM.

On the back of HTC One X9 is located 13-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization and support for video recording in the resolution of 1080p. The front camera has 4-megapixel Ultra-pixel sensor that is able to capture more pixels in low light conditions.

Another “spy” shots appeared on the network. This time they relate to the main camera phone. If you believe the pictures, the unit will receive a 20.7 megapixel sensor.

Similar sensors (excluding improvements) good proven. The modules used in the models Z1, Z2, and Z3.

Other features are hardly credible. But if you believe the speculation, users waiting impressive novelty.

Xperia Z4 offer a 5.1-inch screen with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels, 8-core 64-bit chip Snapdragon 810 processor with a clock frequency of 1.9 GHz and Adreno 430 graphics accelerator.

Somewhere in Brazil there is a retailer who does not have patience and nerves are not strong, and if it fall into the hands of the super-secret documents – will not do. Because a couple of hours ago in Network photos are laid out budget smartphone from Motorola. And see, in fact, there is something. Not just something waited a few hours before the official release!

Specifications almost coincide with the announcement. Indeed, the 4.3-inch diagonal, 2 cores is not yet a catechumen Snapdragon, 5 megapixel main camera! As for memory, then there is a bit of a blunder: 1 GB of RAM, 4 GB + microSD support user BUT! only up to 4 GB. That is, the highest possible option 8GB storage. Not! But better than 4 GB …

Apparently, the developers read my indignant comment about battery capacity, and repented. Instead of hearsay statements in the capacity of 1900 mAh phone got (drum roll!) 1980 mAh! And it is fundamentally changing the business! Only here the delight of the subtleties of the smartphone we decided not to give – the machine settings can not please grace: 124,8 x 64,8 × 12,3 mm. Well this is exactly twice as thick! Eh .. But the sauce as Android KitKat 4.4 still remained. And the price is less than Moto G may still be.

Personally, I believe that, thanks to the bright flip phone looks stylish, fashionable, youth and for those who will not bother about the inner world of your gadget, who need smart for four main cases: call smsit, surf the ‘Net and look cool. And yet, this Moto E can give to a girl, if you want to wean her from the self-photography.

How little joys of life in the current process. Everything has become boring and monotonous, and if they happen glimpses, their lights go out at the first acquaintance. Take at least Nokia X. With a design rarely friendly, and if the device looks attractive, it is likely on the Windows Phone. I always liked the design of Sony, but something about it was not so. Now I know – it was extended in the case of Z1 and obscenely stretched in the case of Z1 Ultra . Sony Xperia Z1 Compact – it’s the best device of all that I’ve seen lately. There was no need to invent anything, just make a smaller smartphone. The case of the HTC One mini was different, there device and so and so looked fine immediately design sparkle with new colors, and it felt at first acquaintance.

Design and Ergonomics Sony Xperia Z1 Compact

Changes in appearance, compared to the older model , almost none. The only difference – all slots are moved to the left side. Slot for a SIM card, which used to be right now at the bottom left, otherwise there is no difference. At least on the surface, but slightly different body materials. In its home market Z1 Compact sold with the same glass cover, but for the rest of the world has become a plastic cover. Nothing in this terrible not see and tactile differences are not noticeable, but that’s scratched much faster. At the same time, dust and lint is not attracted to it, unlike glass. I can only guess that the test sample did journalists to me, but to me he was a completely scratched cover. If the design, I was delighted, it does not mean that questions remained to ergonomics. Take at least move the buttons – they tight, and the second position the camera button is so deep that you have to literally climb a finger into the body. Such shortcomings I gladly sleep on dust and moisture protection. Volume rocker is unusually low, but can live with it.

At the top is not covered headset jack – it’s nice that now learned how to make these connectors dust and Vlagozashchitnoe without plugs. That was more fun to pull them all the time! Right all function keys lock button, volume control and camera. About them I mentioned above, no complaints only key to the lock.

Left all slots for plugs: for SIM-and MicroSD-card; and jack MicroUSB, by the way, there is support for OTG, as in most vehicles Sony. Also, there is dvuhpinovy ​​connector for branded accessories that you will likely never come in handy. Bottom – cute slot grille and strap. Speaker sounds the same as it looks – well. However, it happens that at higher frequencies it grates on the ear, but in general it can be written more in the pros.

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact – connector for micro SD Sony Xperia Z1 Compact – lateral face Sony Xperia Z1 Compact

Behind, on the plastic cover, 20.7 megapixel camera, flash, and under the lid – NFC-chip, as we are told by the logo.

Front earpiece hidden under charging status indicator next – Front 2 megapixel camera and sensors, and below – 4.3-inch display, under which there are three touch control keys. An interesting feature of the front panel is that it is covered by the factory film, the Sony logo applied to the film, so if you lose the film, the logo will go along with it. To the front of the dust and lint still stick.

Conclusion on design and ergonomics as simple – smartphone looks very cool, and all the ergonomic shortcomings with joy can “dump” the protective properties. By the way, protected smartphone standard IP58, which means that he “suffers” the dust, but it is not necessary to be zealous, and as moisture resistance, it can be kept under fresh water to a depth of half a meter less than half an hour.

Display Sony Xperia Z1 Compact

The device is equipped with a 4.3-inch display, made ​​by technology IPS, which is not a priori for Sony, for example, the older models used TFT-matrix. Device resolution – 1280 x 720 pixels (342 ppi). Immediately say, that this display can be operated with gloves and wet hands (these options can be enabled in the menu). Factory film on the front panel and easily scratched. As for the pictures, it turns pink slightly angles and dark colors noticeably prevails blue, but the display is still quite bright and juicy, and the overall impression is good. A dissonance may occur when watching movies, in all other cases, the contrast is striking, but you get used to it quickly. Your maximum brightness – high. For fans of “perversions” manufacturer has provided the setting RGB, there is speculation that it can be used to achieve the desired result, but you have to be delayed grandmaster. Well, will not go away “branded” the problem with thin fonts – sometimes, to read them is just not possible.

Camera Sony Xperia Z1 Compact

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact camera phone can be called, as it is installed 20.7 MP camera sensor Exmor RS of the family with a focal length of 27 mm and aperture f/2.0, but the appearance of the device is not affected – nothing sticks out, not sticking out. The camera looks aesthetically and not provocatively. Auto shooting mode I loved, but removes at a maximum resolution of 3264 x 2448 pixels. In this mode, the camera quickly rearranged depending on the lighting and distance to the subject. Major modes (such as macro, for example) are included automatically, which is convenient. There is also a manual setting of the shooting, in which you can customize everything you want. There is mode and HDR, it is inconvenient simply because long switch. And its implementation I did not like. Maximum resolution pictures in manual mode – 5248 x 3936 pixels. Image stabilization is here, but it is not an optical and digital.

Feature called AR effect – is, in fact, the function of augmented reality, when shooting you can select one of the presets, for example, “jungle”, and around the subject formed thickets with dinosaurs. Usually on such things, I would not pay attention, but I liked the pleasant realization, in the company of a couple of times you can play around with such stuff. Info-eye function is inherently analog of Google Goggles, only then when you hover over an object, not after shooting may fluoresce more information. Timeshift burst function does a quick series of images (61 frames in two seconds), after which you can choose the best, but you can leave it. There is also an application Social Live, which allows to stream video directly to Facebook, with comments left you will see on the screen of a smartphone during the broadcast. Needless to say, this will require a high quality connection to the Internet. To the existing set modes can be added, and others from the store Sony Select. Front camera – 2 MP. Both shoot video in FullHD, and quality and I really liked the stabilization of one of the best ones I’ve seen. This camera I gladly put 8 out of 10, though the noise in the images and appears periodically. Sony Xperia Z1 Compact – App

Output Sony Xperia Z1 Compact

The device turned out very worthy. Great size, design, display, camera, iron, dust and moisture protection. In general, it can be considered a full-fledged flagship, despite the console Compact. There are obvious advantages over the ” older “version, such as working with wet hands or gloves, the best display. At the same time the back cover is no longer glass (I do not upset it somehow, thanks for that we can say the overall experience of the device). In addition to classic black and white, model is available in a bright yellow (as in the pictures) and pink colors. I was pleased with the yellow and would not change it to any other, and the variety of colors can also be attributed to the pros. This smart phone is definitely the best in the segment of devices up to 4.3 inches, but because it is not inferior to the flagship.

I think many of you remember the first Lytro-camera. At the time of its release, the first to offer the opportunity to select the focus point after the picture has been taken, thus breaking many templates. It is said that technology was interested Steve Jobs himself, but for some reason they did not grow together. Now many flagship mobile segment offer similar functionality: Nokia to Refocus, SGS5, in general HTC M8 slapped for this particular camera, Lytro was so much harder to compete in the market. Let’s see, what will interest the new model.

The new camera, which name Lytro Illum, is much more similar to what we used to see in the hands of the photographer. For those who do not know, the previous model was a small rectangular parallelepiped, and a corresponding effect on the ergonomics and the perception of the gadget.

The new model has increased the size of the sensor (with 1/3 “to 1”) and resolution – with 11 to 40 megaluchey megaluchey (measured in beams plenoptic resolution cameras). The final resolution of the “flat” images will be about 4 MP.

The device consists of a zoom lens with an equivalent focal length of 30-250 mm and a constant aperture F2 throughout the depth of the frame, the minimum shutter speed – 1/4000 seconds. Focus and zoom is controlled by two corresponding rings. On the body is present a minimum of buttons, and used as a viewfinder 4 “swivel touch screen with a resolution of 800 x 400. Umescheno All this in size 86 x 145 x 166 mm.

As the “brains” of the camera is Snapdragon 800 processor from Qualcomm, which we used to see in mobile devices. Such computing power needed to process plenoptic images in real-time while shooting. 

Viewing pictures after shooting can be carried out using a special application that connects to the cloud, where all data is stored on the footage. Annex (at least on the iPad) can Tapan on different areas to focus on them, and use the parallax effect.

The company’s founder, Dr. Ren Ng, compares the transition from “flat” photos to plenoptic transition from B & W to color images. First, only those addicted enthusiasts and the masses did not need it, but then technology has reached the desired level for easy use by all. Does this happen with Lytro Illum and his followers will be able to show only time.

Retail price is $ 1,599, and is available for pre-order today on the website of the company.

Assumptions – a thankless task, especially if it is a product of the output of which we are separated by more than six months. But this time we are talking about a man named Sonny Dickson earned a reputation as an insider, plums and leakage from which came true in 100 percent of cases. Therefore it is advisable to treat this material with the utmost care.

First night in this “Twitter” user @ mornray8886 photos appeared, which, according to the source, shows the housing of the new generation iPhone. Could be thrown in the trash these photos as yet another attempt unknown blogger to attract attention fake sensation, if several hours later some of the images from this session not appeared on the site said Sonny.

Having walked on his blog, you’ll notice that he was the first who predicted the emergence of iPad mini, iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s , and published photographs device components, which are then really came on the market. Also, if you look at the pictures, then chances are that the iPhone 6 will look exactly high enough.

Earlier, sources reported that Apple plans to launch iPhone with a larger display screen. Although pictures phone case does not compare with other models iPhone, just look at the size of the Home button, and compare it with the size of the case, to understand that the size of the number is unlikely to increase. Most likely, due to the almost complete abandonment of side frames Apple will achieve that same 4.7 inches diagonally, not turning the iPhone in “shovel”. This decision seems logical and fits into the strategy of seeking to do so that the phone was still easy to use with one hand.

If this information is true, there remains only one question: why the leak occurred so early? After all, even the famous story of the iPhone 4 happened in April, but does not really in February. It is possible that we are dealing only with the prototype of the new iPhone, though derived from the campus in Cupertino. It is this uncertainty and forced us to err on the title material figure 95.

UPDATE: Due to some misunderstanding of the situation we decided to give explanations. Of the published photos in this material (numbered 2 and 5) were taken from the blog Sonny Dickson, while other images were published in the “Twitter” @ mornray8886. Networks began to appear in the visual calculations proving fake nature photos that have been uploaded on this account (see illustration below). At the same time the photos that allegedly shows the rear panel 6 iPhone still does not give grounds for doubt. Therefore inferences some of our colleagues that Sonny Dixon “all deceived” are groundless, if only because that analyzed photos have no relation to his blog.
