Leaked images of Sony Xperia Z 3 Compact

Sony is one of the brands that have long joined the trend of launching “mini” smartphone top end. ‘s model that debuted in this category was the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, but the concept of the Japanese is slightly different from other companies. While most such teams are committed to offer not only more compact size, but also a tighter technical profile, the Sony case is different. What they have done is create an almost identical copy of the original model, except that the screen is smaller and has a resolution of FullHD HD instead. Already there are rumors that the company is preparing a new edition of this mini-ship -insignia which could be presented in early September at IFA. The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact has already leaked several times, but is now once again in images.

 Sony could introduce the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact by the Sony Xperia Z3, its next flagship to arrive next month of September. The images show a team with a design that follows the usual line of smartphones in the brand, which is what they call OmniBalance, a symmetric form of sharp corners. Shortly photos reveal more than confirmation that Sony will continue to pursue the same camera today, a sensor 20.7 megapixel Exmor RS with a G Lens and BIONZ processor. However, have already leaked their supposed specifications above, and it seems that the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact will continue copying all the features of its big brother almost verbatim.

 The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact would have a screen of 4.5 inches diagonally, a bit larger than the current model of the Compact series, but still at an acceptable level from the point of view of functionality. The screen resolution would have HD systems and come with TRILUMINOS and Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2. Moreover processor is expected Snapdragon 801 to 2.5 Ghz and 2Gb memory RAM, a combination that ensures a smooth performance. As mentioned, the camera will remain the same, but are likely to have included here the option of recording videos in 4K, a feature that is already present in the Sony Xperia Z2. Finally we can expect the team to be waterproof as is customary in this high-end manufacturer.

 The question is whether Sony will skip the Sony Xperia Z2 Compact and go directly to  Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, as well as whether it will launch simultaneously with the Xperia Z3. Usually do not normally have two computers at the same time, leaving a margin of several weeks of each other as they did with the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. In any case the amount of leaks indicates that the terminal exists and will be submitted soon, we will be looking to tell all the news.

Review-Samsung Galaxy Camera 2

The Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 is the second version of this particular proposal from the Korean company.Compact camera can also function as a smartphone with 3G connectivity and operating system Android. Hybrid computer will allow us to make high-quality photos with a resolution of 20 megapixels with a powerful 20x optical zoom. But it also has the ability to share our photos on Facebook or chat via WhatsApp. ‘s Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 is now available in the market for a price of 400 euros. Has had the chance to have in our hands this camera, we tell what were our impressions.

 Optical zoom of 21 increases

 Definitely one of the great attractions of this compact camera is the optical zoom.It has a 21 – fold increase that will allow us to take a snapshot of a part or bring distant scenes, not moving. All this with a really good stability, that has nothing to envy to the most powerful on the market releases. To handle this we can handle a zoom wheel in the upper right part of the model or to perform a pinch gesture on the screen itself, the same way they usually control the zoom in camera phones. In short, valuable tools that will help us take quality pictures.

 Photos with a resolution of 16 megapixels

 The sensor of the camera Samsung is type BSI CMOS 1 / 2.3 ” and a maximum resolution of 16.3 megapixels. In our tests, we found a good response of this sensor under normal conditions, although it is somewhat more limited when faced with low light conditions. This limitation is offset by a tab with the flash drive that can be opened with the button shown in the image above. Flash power is very noticeable and can become a great ally in parties and night events.

 Another attraction of the camera Samsung are their various clever ways that can help us take photos more professional cut. The company has introduced a number of different ways, so it may be interesting to choose a function that automatically selects the most interesting mode according to the environment and lighting conditions in which we find ourselves. In such modes have specific settings for taking pictures of landscapes environments (green and blue is enhanced), dawns or snow. We also have another general mode for taking pictures at parties or indoors. A fun way is the animated picture, which allows us to take a series of photographs to animate a moving object in the scene. We can also take a picture in which the continuous movement of an object or person is displayed, such as passing a cyclist in front of us. Another interesting ways that can give us a very attractive result is the streak of light. The camera should keep still (it is recommended that with the help of a tripod) in a night scene, such as the movement of cars on the highway. Besides the function of photography, we also have the ability to record video in high definition 1.080pa 30fps.

 Display and Design

 An important advantage of the camera Samsung is its good screen size of 4.8 inches. This panel has a remarkable brightness, even when we are under the direct impact of the sun. Its resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels yields a good density of 305 dpi, both to see the images you have made and to use other applications on Android. In addition, it has also much liked the tactile response of this panel.

 As for the design of compact camera, the Korean company has introduced elements common to his last star models. And we have a bonded leather cover on the front that adds an elegant touch to the camera. The Galaxy Camera 2 is available in black and white, while the lower and upper parts use silver aluminum. The device has a good balance and is comfortable to hold, although it can be a bit heavy for a compact camera. This is because its 285 grams are above what we usually see in these models. Sure worth the sacrifice to enjoy your optical zoom of 21 increases. The full dimensions of the Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 are 132.5 x 71.2 x 19.5 mm.

 Interface, memory and applications

 To run Android, this camera features a quad-core processor with a power of 1.6 GHz and an excellent memory of 2 GB RAM to run multiple applications smoothly and the camera without performance being affected. The internal memory of the device is 8 GB, a somewhat limited capacity provided we do a more intensive use of the camera. To extend the available capacity, we have the option of integrating a memory card MicroSD up to 64 GB.

 The operating system chosen for this camera is Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. Platform Google provides us with a broad ecosystem of applications that will allow us to enhance the experience of this camera. In addition to applications that interact directly, such as the ability to send photos to Facebook or save snapshots into our Dropbox, we can also draw on games like Angry Birds or instant messaging applications such as WhatsApp. Undoubtedly, the use of Android multiplies the possibilities of this device.

 Connections and autonomy

 In the field of connections, we have support for 3G networks. The option of using a SIM card will enable us to share images anywhere with mobile coverage. We also have free WiFi to surf the net at home. Another interesting connection is NFC. With it, you can transmit images to other compatible devices through a simple touch or synchronize the camera with other compatible equipment. We also have Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS for navigation applications like Google Maps and label the location where we took the photo.

 The Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 has a set of 2,000 milliamps. According to official data from Samsung, we can come to take almost 400 shots with the camera or record video for 125 minutes. The resistance of this device surfing the net is something more than four hours, while video playback time will be a maximum of five hours.

 Pricing and Reviews

 The camera Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 can be found in the market for a price of the 400 euros (varies greatly by store). It is a hybrid team that strikes a good balance between a quality compact camera with its optical zoom of 21 increases and many of the specific functions of a smartphone. However, as often happens with this type of betting is in danger of becoming no man’s land, but has many arguments to become a device loved by their buyers.

The main specifications of the smartphone Samsung Galaxy Alpha

 It is not the first time rumors filtered and specifications about this device. A few months ago, many media point to the possibility that the Korean company Samsung in partnership present a smart mobile phone equipped with a very different to what you normally find in your catalog design. These would be the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. It completely or partially fabricated metal housing is expected, allowing it to be marketed as a premium version of the Samsung Galaxy S5 original, which as you know is made up of a shell combined with a rear plastic skin. Yesterday the possibility that the new leaked Samsung Galaxy Alpha could come to the fore on August 4th, the date on which Samsung held an official presentation. However, in the last hours has been denied this information, so that the coming-in fact, would not take place until Wednesday 13 August.

 But along with this information also were leaked and confirmed new rumors related specifications that will have this device. At first they said the Samsung Galaxy Alpha work through an Exynos processor developed by the own Samsung. However, we could not specify which. Now we are able to do so because it has been known that this is an Exynos 5433, able to outperform the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805, according to a test conducted last month on the operation of both. This means that the Samsung Galaxy Alpha could be a smartphone in high range, capable of facing the original Samsung Galaxy S5 equal.

 These are the same reports that are committed by a main 12 megapixel camera would find on the back of the terminal, and a second sensor of 2-megapixel, corresponding to the secondary camera that would be very useful for video calls and selfies. Another fact that is confirmed by the delivery of rumors is the screen resolution, which would be 720p, aboard a 4.8-inch (diagonal).

 It should be mentioned, moreover, a detail that had not previously paid attention. It seems that the Samsung Galaxy Alpha not come equipped with a card slot that allow memory expansion via microSD, which will undoubtedly be a major disadvantage for those who often carry the phone loaded with content and require large amounts of space to store photos, videos, pictures, documents and applications . Luckily, Samsung counteracts this situation by integrating the phone to 32 GB of internal memory, which however may not be enough for the most demanding users.

 According to rumors, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 leaves the Super AMOLED system, betting on a Flexible OLED display. Supposedly would have two models, one standard and one with the curved panel, similar to what already showed Samsung with Samsung Galaxy Round.

A first picture of Nokia Lumia Windows Phone Tesla appears with 8.1 update

A couple of days ago, I talked about the possibility that Microsoft will soon introduce two new models in society of Nokia Lumia would work equipped with Windows Phone 8.1, the latest version of the mobile operating system. Rumors say that the firm is interested in bringing out a couple of new phones that now lead a provisional name. The first, dubbed Superman would be a smartphone specifically designed for a young audience and take an advanced integrated secondary camera, ideal for good selfies. The second, which is before us, is to be called Tesla and could, correspond to the rumored Nokia Lumia 830 Nokia Lumia 730 or a high-end device that Microsoft would sell at a very affordable price and could be a descendant direct the Nokia Lumia 720.

 Anyway, just hours after learning the first details about this pair of devices has leaked an image that would show the course Tesla Nokia or Nokia Lumia 830/730. Apparently, the phone has been spotted somewhere in China running the operating system Windows Phone 8.1, with the peculiarity that version would be before Update 1. This new update would bring several important improvements, such as the ability to organize applications in folders, a feature that would have been dubbed Live Folders.

 Few details have been released so far. We know, though, that the device could take an integrated PureView camera on the back. Moreover, note that the screen would be large, but at the moment we are not in a position to advance its exact size. However, it is likely to be reached without problems the 5.1 megapixel, so that the device would come to compete directly in the category of phablet, that of those phones the size of your screen are halfway between a smartphone and a tablet. In the section of the design, it seems that Microsoft is willing to maintain the architecture that has so far applied Nokia in their latest devices: more squared edges, bright, cheerful colors and tactile buttons for back, home screen access or search.

 But as I have indicated, this is not the only team that Microsoft will present in the coming weeks. It is expected that the next device with Windows Phone 8.1 is the Lumia Superman, equipped with a wide screen 4.7 inches, and a front camera of 5 megapixels. Currently there is no information that can confirm when it will make the presentation of both teams, when not even hit the market or what price will. We shall keep all information they arrive ofrecértelas about it for a minute.
