Sony Xperia Z2 Review, Price , Specs

Mar 30, 2014
The all new Sony Xperia Z2 looks and feels a lot like its predecessors the Sony  Xperia Z, Sony Xperia Z1 and  Xperia Z1 compact, there is a identical mix of glass and metal, the former on both the front and back and the latter at the sides, and the two elements are joined seamlessly (even more so than on the Z1).

 It's just as water-proof and dust-proof as its in Xperia Z forebears. The Sony Xperia Z2 can be immerse for up to 30 minutes in and up to 1.5m of water, so with this water-proof neither the British weather nor your bathtub pose any danger to the all new Sony Xperia Z2.



There are huge number of differences from the Xperia Z1. The display screen is 5.2" inch rather than 5.0 inch but the phone sense the same size in your hand, and the Xperia Z2 edges are a little more rounded when compared to Xperia z and Xperia Z1. The handset's pretty thin on the whole, in fact 8.2 mm.

The new Xperia Z2 will launch in four different colors like black, white, dark silver and a Cadbury-esque purple.

The Xperia Z2 is similar to Xperia Z1 and will come with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor, with a few slight adjustments, its clocked at 2.3Ghz when compared to Xperia Z2 2.2Ghz. The Xperia Z2 will be having additional benefit of 3GB RAM, which could provide even for multitasking fiends to play around. 3200 mAh battery, which provies a longevity even with the new 5.2 inch Screen display.



The new Xperia Z2 maintain the same exciting 20.7MP snapper that graces the Z1, with a set of enhancement a slightly larger 1/2.5" sensor as opposed to the Z1's 1/2.3", and Steady Shot image stabilization to blurriness from hand-held shooting.

iPhone 6 Launched in India, iPhone 6 review, specs

Mar 28, 2014
The all new iPhone 6 could be one of the most important devices in the Cupertino brand's history, the the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C little updates to the previous models, there is a lot of strain collected on the iPhone 6.

As usual, the internet flooded rumor, speculation and downright lies over this next-generation smartphone, this is why we spend our time to drag through each nugget of info. 

Apple is speculating that bigger will be greater when it comes to the all new iPhone 6, which is why it’s reportedly working on two versions of the devices that are both larger than the iPhone 5s.One thing is sure, with the new Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2 ,plus our full HTC One (M8) truly stunning phone, Apple will need to be on its best with the new iPhone handset  and most people believe a bigger display screen is simply a must.

The iPhone 6 will release date in 2014, although same when that will be in the year is still a little unclear. In 2014 June this year we will see the obvious release of iOS 8 operating system, and also a larger-screened iPhablet as Apple looks to bring itself forward in the Asian markets and emulate the prize of the Galaxy Note 3.

while the 4.7 inch iPhone 6 will likely to be launch in august or September, and sources said that 5.7 inch model "may or may not be launch at the same time with 4.7 inch iPhone". The iPhone 4.7 inch resolution could of the same as that of the 4.7 inch iPhone 6.



The new iPhone 6 will probably have a sapphire glass screen, making it highly tough and strong. Unfortunately, this is all the information that we have as of now. Sources has been reported that the iPhone 6 will be the slimmest iPhone yet in the market. In fact, reported 6mm thick, the new iPhone 6 would cut down 1.6mm off of the iPhone 5. It would also make half the thickness of the iPhone 3GS to the new iPhone 6.

In terms of storage, 64GB been the top model for a couple of years, and continues to be the same for the iPhone 5S. We are carrying the same storage for the iPhone 6. Although apple can make a higher storage device upto 128GB but we are still expecting the same.



Apple often releases its new iPhone models at the same price as the old phones. If that holds out, then, and expecting that the 16GB model is dropped, we would expect the 32GB model to cost £529, the 64GB model £599 and the 128GB model £699. However, if the company continue to sell the remaining iPhone 5S models, we could be thinking for some new price, in which case all risk are off and we have no idea how much it will be pricing.

HTC One M8 Officialy Announced in India

Mar 25, 2014
The all new HTC One has announced the 2014 edition of their highly popular android smartphone. The new HTC One M8 is same as to all those we have seen thus far, like the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2. The HTC One M8 is one of the biggest smartphones to be released this year. Samsung already captured the headlines with its Samsung Galaxy S5. This HTC One M8 from the design, features and the camera, is doing everything to do better than the Samsung's Handsets.

HTC One M8 will be rumbling  at the end of April in Australia, Taiwan, UK, Germany, France, China and United States. It takes a little longer time to launch in India.

The One M8 will come with a gunmetal gray hairline finish, which is looking as the only colour option at this time. The size of the display is slightly larger at 5-inches and will have a Full HD resolution, with a pixel count of 440ppi. The phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 801 SoC, just like the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Sony Xperia Z2. The Smartphone will maintain to have dual-front speakers, the two camera setup that HTC calls ‘Duo Camera’, something called ‘Motion Launch’, with extreme power saving mode.

The all new HTC One M8 gets relieve of any poly carbonate or plastic for the sides as the chassis is almost completely metal. The One M8 Smartphone also introduce their latest version of Sense which features an enhanced BlinkFeed experience. They have now opened it up to developers so Foursquare and Fitbit updates can be move through the BlinkFeed.

Battery life was one of the strain points of the HTC One M7 or the old HTC One. The HTC One M8 is said to have 40 percent improved battery life. Like LG and Samsung, HTC has joined a group of signal to the HTC One M8. You can now double tap the phone to wake it, bring a ringing phone to your ear to answer it, etc. This is not completely ground breaking stuff but its good to HTC including these little refinement.

Some of HTC’s Similiar features have repeated, including Zoe video highlights, enhanced Boom Sound, improved BlinkFeed, HTC Sense TV, robust media integration, and  50 GB Google Drive for two years. That extra storage comes in addition to the 16GB or 32GB on-board, and the microSD supports up to 128 GB. HTC is also making accessories for the HTC One M8 a big priority. There is an HTC Dot View case, Flip case and also Double Dip case.

The 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 chip and there is also a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 chip headed for the United States, and gets through the Android OS quickly.

Of course, we’ll have more detailed thinking about the HTC One (M8) as we spend more time with it. We were big fans of HTC’s effort from last year, so we are clearly going to give this device the time it deserves before coming to any big judgements.

The scenario points to availability for the Nexus 5 successor to come out in July.
Based on recent leaks, the Nexus 6 will be based on the LG G3 and it should be a beast of a device that will come with many features.

The handset will also be water and dust proof with protection from IP67 certification.
The power behind the handset will be the quad core Qualcomm processing chip and this may be the Snapdragon 805 or the 810 with both having 64 bit mobile computing. The CPU would work with the Adreno graphic engine alongside 4GB of RAM.
One of the biggest pluses of the handset will be the price tag, which could be between $350 and $400.
